Strobist's Take on the New PocketWizard PlusX
The buzz surrounding the release of the PocketWizard PlusX has made us very excited. We'd like to send a huge "thank you" to the entire photography community. The PlusX is the simplest PocketWizard ever, and has already earned over 55 positive reviews.
Here's what one of the Internet's favorite photo educators has to say about our latest release.
"Basically," David Hobby of Strobist writes, "the new PlusX transceiver has everything you really need—and nothing you don't."
In his overview, David goes over the PlusX's features, including design, controls, range, and power. As a longtime PocketWizard user, David is a great source of insight on the newest member of the PocketWizard family. He even notices the rotary dial is much like the one found on some of our older triggers. Good eye, David!
He concludes, "With it's robust build, significant range, non-obsolescence and 2-digit price tag, I think the PlusX will quickly prove to be PocketWizard's most popular remote."

You may love your significant other, but do they drive you crazy when they choose the restaurant, then complain about the prices on the menu? Or give you expensive gifts that you know they can't afford? According to the Pew Research Center nearly four in ten married adults say they often or sometimes disagree with their spouse over money.
Sarah J. Halpin Certified Financial Planner with The Danforth Group of Wells Fargo Advisors spoke with us about financial compatibility and if it's important for couples to be a good financial fit.
Financial compatibility is having similar views and values around money and shared lifestyle choices when it comes to spending. You don't have to be clones of each other to have a successful financial relationship. But you do want to understand and respect your differences on money related issues and work on getting financially "in sync" to avoid potential future conflicts.
It's especially important to be "on the same page" in the following three areas:
Money Talks - If your financial life is connected to someone else you have to be willing to share information that affects both of your lives. Avoiding money discussions or being secretive about money can lead to problems. Are you willing to discuss how much money you really make? Are you both willing to share what you own and what you owe? Many couples discover the extent of their partner's debt situation after marriage. Excessive debt and a tarnished credit history can be an unpleasant surprise, affect both of your credit scores and be a big burden on a new couple's future.
Ours or Mine - Do you have similar attitudes around household contributions and managing the household finances? Do you agree on whether someone will take the lead in financial matters or will you share tasks such as paying bills and managing a budget? Will you have joint or separate finances? Will you have equal say in how household dollars are spent or does the person who makes the most money think they should have more influence on how it's spent? Disproportionate roles or control in a relationship can lead to resentment and sabotage of household goals. You are more likely to have a positive outcome if you and your other half have joint control, are united and work together as a team to achieve your financial goals.
Lifestyle Choices- Do you see yourselves living simply or extravagantly? Are your lifestyle choices compatible especially around borrowing and spending? For example, if it's important to you to be debt free and your partner has just financed a new luxury car and you are having trouble making the car payments it is going to have a negative impact on your finances and your relationship. In the worst cases, overspending can cause an irreparable rift in a relationship.
Disagreements over money and a failure to have a united financial plan can sink a relationship. If you are financial opposites it's going to take time and effort to resolve differences and find common ground to help move your relationship closer to financial harmony.
What do you think? Is it important for couples to be financially compatible?

Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 4, 2015
CaringBridge Inc. ("CaringBridge," "us" or "we") operates the CaringBridge.org website and mobile applications as a free online service (this "Service") to help families and friends stay in touch during a health challenge.
Our Commitment to Transparency
CaringBridge is committed to providing the information you need to make informed choices about the ways you use our Service. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect when you use our Service. It also describes how we use the personal information you share with us and some of the steps we take to protect your privacy.
Personal Information and Privacy Settings
When you use our Service, you may be creating and maintaining a Site on behalf of yourself or another person, or visiting and posting to a Site created by someone else. By their very nature, these Sites contain a great deal of personal information about the subject of the Site and other individuals. For this reason we allow the creator of a Site to control the level of privacy they apply to their Site. Our goal is to balance our users' need to find each other and communicate information and support against our users' desire for a measure of privacy.
Every member of a caring community, including the creators of Sites and all users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the website address of a Site in accordance with the subject's wishes.
What Information is Collected by CaringBridge?
Information You Volunteer. CaringBridge collects the personal information you and others knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use our Service on our website or through our mobile application, for example, the personal information you provide when you create or post content on a Site, complete a survey, make a donation, use our "tell a friend" feature, or contact our customer care personnel. "Personal information" means information about an identified or identifiable individual. Examples of personal information include your name, your email address, address, credit card information and your photograph.
Credit Card Information. If you provide credit card information through the Service, the information you provide is never stored on our server. Instead, when you click on the "submit" button, it is forwarded immediately to a third-party service provider for processing. We use industry standard Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) software to encrypt all of your credit card information as it travels over the Internet and via wireless methods to our third-party service provider. We do not retain a copy of your credit card information. Our third-party services providers use your credit card information only to process your transaction (and for fraud prevention purposes) and are bound by contract to keep your credit card information confidential.
Information Collected From Your Mobile Device. When using our mobile application we will collect your device type and the operating system you are using to create aggregate statistics in order to improve our mobile application.
We do not ask you for access or track any location based information from your mobile device at any time while downloading or using our mobile application or services.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser and through our mobile application. This information typically includes your IP address, the identity of your Internet service provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. Generally, we do not link the information provided by your browser to information that identifies you by name.
More About IP Addresses. An "IP address" is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. It is used to identify your computer's "location" in cyberspace, so that the information you request can be delivered to you. If you use a dialup connection or a connection that assigns dynamic IP addresses, your computer will be assigned a new IP address each time you connect to the Internet. If, however, your computer is permanently connected to the Internet using a static IP address, the IP address assigned to your computer will generally be the same each time you use your computer.
IP addresses do not include your name, email address or other information that identifies you personally, but in some cases, they can be used to identify you. For example, we may link your IP address to account information that identifies you personally. We may also provide your IP address to our third-party service provider who can use it to identify your state and zip code. This gives us valuable demographic information about the individuals who use the Service. The third-party service provider is bound by contract to use the IP addresses we provide only for this purpose. In addition, if, for example, we suspect fraud or a threat to the security of the Service, we may share our server logs - which contain IP addresses - with the appropriate investigative authorities, who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use "cookies" and other web technologies to collect information and support certain features of the Service on our website. For example, we may use these technologies to:
- collect information about the ways people use the Service - which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;
- support the features and functionality of the Service - for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits; and
- personalize your experience when you use the Service.
Generally, the information we collect using these web technologies does not identify you personally. If, however, you have created a user identity, for example by registering, we may link the information we collect using these web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. You may also delete our cookies as soon as you leave the Service. Although you are not required to accept our cookies when you visit the Service, if you set your browser to reject cookies, you will not be able to use all of the features and functionality of the Service.
The use of cookies by our partners, tracking utility company, service providers is not covered by our privacy statement. In some instances we have access or control over these cookies. Our partners, tracking utility company, service providers use session ID cookies to track site visitor data and facilitate our partnerships.
Our third party tracking-utility and ad network partner uses a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our Sites by informing us what content is effective on our website. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information.

We restrict access to our data center and our databases, and we use a secure server dedicated to online donations to protect your personal and financial information. We also have firewall protection in place.
Unfortunately, no website, server or database is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

For example, certain pages of the Service contain privacy notices providing details about the personal information we collect on those pages, why we need that information, and choices you may have about the ways we use that information.
Country-Specific Notices
Privacy requirements vary from country to country. To meet these requirements we may from time to time include "country-specific notices" as part of this Privacy Policy. If any of the terms of a country-specific notice are different than the general terms of this policy, the terms of the country-specific notice will supplement or amend this Privacy Policy, but only to the extent that the laws of that country apply to the collection of personal information through the Service.

PADDLING with Darren Bush
The way of the blade
Paddles are to car tires as ...
Darren Bush
Thursday, May 09, 2013 9:05 PM
When folks sit around the cracker barrel and discuss life on the water, paddling nerds usually spend time discussing boat designs; esoterica like prismatic coefficients and flare and rocker and wetted surface area. What is usually missing is a discussion of the paddle.
My opinion is that paddle design is equally important to the performance of your canoe or kayak, yet it is often passed over as ancillary. I think it's just as difficult to design a quality canoe or kayak blade as a quality boat.
I hear a lot about big paddle blades "moving a lot of water." Truth is, a good paddle blade doesn't push anything. In fact, it doesn't move water at all. The idea is for it to stick in the water and not move. A splashing paddle stroke means energy that was going to move the boat is making a lot of noise instead.
Water is pretty dense and it's pretty amazing how much a good paddle doesn't slip in the water. The same density that makes bellies flop (and turn bright red) makes for a great medium into which you insert a blade and apply pressure.
The trick is to optimize the size of the paddle blade so you get a good plant in the water, without making it so big it's unwieldy or heavy or hard to handle. Smaller blades slide in and out of the water easily and quietly, but might slip a little more than you'd like when you're accelerating.
The car analogy
I spent a decent part of my youth yanking engines out of old Volkswagens, and I love the smell of grease, so I tend to use car analogies. Most people drive cars, and that familiarity helps tell the story. Besides, they're really good analogies.
Cars produce power, and the goal is to get as much of that power to the ground as possible without losing it along the way. To do that, you need a method of transmission (hence the name). In your case as paddler, the engine is your body, specifically your core muscles. Arms are just the way to transmit that power to the paddle. Of course, you want to lock your motor down tight to your boat, which is why boat fit and outfitting is so important. A motor that is sloppy loses power before it even gets to the transmission.
So what about your tires? That's where the analogy works great, for me at least. The tires that best transmit power to the ground are found, naturally, on dragsters. Giant tires squeeze out thousands of horsepower and don't waste any of it. What big tires (and big blades) do is accelerate. Put skinny little tires on a dragster and you'd burn the tire up before you went three feet, let alone a quarter mile.
Should we put dragster tires on your compact sedans for driving to the grocery store? Hardly a good idea. That's way too much rubber meeting the road for the amount of power your Prius creates. Big tires also create drag: that's a lot of rubber to move. Larger tires do give you a little more contact with the road, which can aid in the precision with which the automobile steers ... to a point.
The idea behind automobiles and how tires are selected for specific cars depends a lot on the size of the motor and the application of power. To accelerate to highway speeds requires some horsepower. To maintain highway speeds requires almost none, just 10 to 20 horsepower.
Okay, back to paddles. Want to accelerate? Get a big blade. But just like the fat tires on a dragster, you get to lug all that weight around when cruising along on flatwater. Want efficiency? A smaller blade will work great, it just won't accelerate as quickly as big paddle blade. Your little paddle is transmitting all it needs to move you along.
Most people don't accelerate, drop their big guns and grab a smaller paddle. It all depends on your application.
Whitewater and surf require more acceleration than flatwater, where a sort of Zen-like repetition rules the day. It would be cool to have a paddle where you could change the size of the blade by magic; big to accelerate or decelerate, and small to cruise along. Someday, maybe.
While you can't change physics, I respectfully submit that there are no right or wrong paddles. Paddling is a mindful activity but it is certainly not a religion, or worse, a cult. If you are a fan of big blades for flatwater paddling, then more power (literally) to you. Do you like skinny little Greenland kayak paddles? By all means, use them. Like a bent shaft canoe paddle or a traditional willow-leaf design? Good for you. As the French say,
à chacun son goût
Don't let a sea kayaker draw you in to the Euroblade versus Greenland debate, as it's a false dichotomy. They both have their place, and that place is in the water. After all, the best paddle is the one that is the wet the most often.

Thanks Barry,I'm 6 ft tall, and I use the 9 ft paddle for stand up padlding.I paddle mostly on one side (canoe style), with a slight J stroke, to help tracking.Try it, and you'll see it's easy, effective, and fun Yoav

When someone in the group touches an enemy, the entire group enters its own little instance for battle. On the outside, other players can't join the fight but they can cheer you on, giving the group a temporary buff.
On the inside, however, the game utilizes a version of the active time battle system that feels like a co-op version of Final Fantasy XII more than anything else. Every few seconds, you get a turn, and then you choose which attack, skill, or item you wish to use from the menu that pops up.
Check out the video above to see the battle system in action.

MALONE - Upstate Correctional Facility will be getting some upgrades as part of a statewide initiative to replace outdated cell doors.
According to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision public information office, 702 doors will be replaced by June 2014 at an approximate cost of $2.8 million. The state Office of General Services will bid the job in late March.
The existing 702 doors contain a 9 x 7 solid Plexiglas window. The new doors will have a larger 23 x 11 checkered crossbar window screen accompanied by an exterior staff-operated sliding window shield made of solid Plexiglas to allow better communication with inmates and better supervision.
Other state prisons getting new doors include maximum-security Five Points and Southport correctional facilities and medium-security Greene and Mid-State correctional facilities. A total of 294 doors will be replaced between all four prisons.
The facility has a total of 750 cells. The remaining 48 received new doors in 2008 as part of a settlement with Disability Advocates Inc. The group had sued the state to get better care for prisoners suffering from mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
In order to carry out the project, Upstate will temporarily move inmates to vacant cells.
Upstate Correctional Facility is a maximum-security prison. Its capacity is 1,500 inmates. On Friday the total population was 1,202. The cells are designed as double-occupancy, but in the case of an inmate with a mental health treatment need, they are single-occupancy.

Baseball Two-Hit in NCAA Tournament Loss at UCLA, 3-0
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Creighton baseball team ran into a strong arm from UCLA's Adam Plutko, mustering just two hits in the 3-0 loss against the Bruins in the opening game of the Los Angeles Regional.
Plutko threw his second shutout of the season, and third of his career, needing 113 pitches in his two-hit masterpiece. He walked three and allowed just one man all night to reach second base. Plutko improved to 10-3 on the season, and is 5-0 with a 0.49 ERA inhis last five starts.
The Bruins (43-14) got on the board first, taking advantage of a two-out infield single from Cody Keefer to push across their first run. The next batter, Jeff Gelalich, doubled into the left center field gap to score Keefer from first base. UCLA led 1-0 after one complete.
After the Bluejays (26-29) were retired in order in the top of the second inning, the Bruins again rallied on two outs, this time scoring a pair of runs in the home half of the inning. Cody Regis singled through the left side before Kevin Kraemer and Beau Amaral drove back-to-back doubles into the gaps of the outfield. The Bruins took a 3-0 lead into the third inning.
The Bluejays picked up their first hit of the game in the top of the fourth inning, when Brad McKewon led off the inning with a single right over the head of Plutko. But a pair of strikeouts and a fly out in foul ground to strand McKewon on first.
Blach settled in following the two-out parade in the first two innings, retiring eight straight batters to put the southpaw into the fifth inning. A single from Amaral led to Creighton's first double-play defensively of the game, a 6-4-3 turn to end the fifth inning. Creighton trailed UCLA 3-0.
Creighton again got the leadoff batter on base in the top of the sixth inning when Jake Peter picked up the first Plutko issued walk of the game. Brennan Murphy advanced Peter to second with a sacrifice bunt which led to another pop up on the infield and an inning-ending strikeout, stranding the second Bluejay baserunner of the game on second. That would be the only time all night a Bluejay reached as far as second base.
For the second straight inning, Creighton used a leadoff walk from Plutko, this time to Chance Ross, to put the first Bluejay batter on base in the seventh. A pair of robbed hits, first on a deep Anthony Bemboom fly ball and then a Gerber line drive to center fielder Amaral both nearly doubled off Ross, who was aggressively trying to get to second on both hits. A pop up from Scott Thornburg ended the frame, Creighton again stranding a base runner.
In the top of the eighth the Bluejays again opened the frame with a baserunner, as Alex Staehely singled through the left side of the infield. But the Bluejay shortstop was erased while trying to advance to second on a wild pitch, thrown out by catcher Tyler Heineman.
Creighton's final chance of the night came with two away in the ninth frame. Chance Ross walked with two outs, but Plutko completed his gem by retiring Bemboom on strikes.
Blach (6-6) threw well after the second inning, and finished with his fourth complete game of the year. He allowed seven hits and struck out six, while finishing without a walk.
Creighton will play San Diego in an elimination game tomorrow afternoon, with first pitch set for 5:00 pm CST. The game will air on 1620 AM in Omaha (KOZN), and a free video webcast will once again be provided by UCLA. The winner advances to play on Sunday, while the loser will head home, ending its season in the NCAA Tournament.
NOTES: Ty Blach made his 21st start this season on the mound, setting a Creighton single-season record and leading the nation this season in the category ... Plutko retired CU's first nine hitters, inducing seven fly balls in the process ... Blach's first 1-2-3 inning came in the third inning, inducing a ground out, fly out and striking out his second batter of the game ... Anthony Bemboom cut down his 10th baserunner trying to steal against him this season in the bottom of the sixth inning as part of a strike-him-out, throw-him-out double play for the first two outs of the inning ... With six strikeouts, Blach is tied with Jonas Dufek for seventh in CU history with 244 career strikeouts ...Blach's 120.1 innings pitched ranks second-most in CU single-season history, and his 296.2 career innings is sixth in the CU recordbook ...UCLA's David Berg snapped a streak of 18 straight games in which he'd made a relief appearance.

Gaucher disease is an inherited metabolic disorder known as a lipid storage disease. Lipid is the word used to describe the various types of fatty materials, such as cholesterol, in your body. Lipids are necessary for the systems in your body to function properly. When you have Gaucher disease, you're missing an enzyme needed to break down lipids normally. The lipids collect in cells in certain organs, causing a range of symptoms. For example, if you have Gaucher disease, you may have an unusually large spleen and liver. The disease may also affect your lung, brain, eye, and bone function.
The wide variety of symptoms can actually hamper your doctor's ability to make an accurate diagnosis. Gaucher disease is relatively rare, and doctors may first suspect other conditions. Anemia and related symptoms are fairly common complications of Gaucher disease. This may cause doctors to focus on your anemia instead of testing for Gaucher.
There are three subtypes of Gaucher disease:
Type 1. This is the most common type, affecting about 90 percent of people with Gaucher disease. If you have type 1, you will have low blood platelets and may become easily fatigued. Your symptoms can begin at any time in your life. You might have an enlarged liver or spleen, kidney or lung problems, or skeletal disorders.
Type 2. Symptoms begin by age 3 months. Those with type 2 usually die before age 2. This type causes liver and spleen enlargement.
Type 3. Symptoms include skeletal problems, eye movement disorders, seizures that become more obvious over time, blood disorders, breathing problems, and liver and spleen enlargement.
For many people, symptoms begin in childhood. Symptoms of Gaucher disease can include:
Enlarged spleen
Enlarged liver
Eye movement disorders
Lung problems
People of Ashkenazi Jewish descent have the greatest risk of developing this disease. Having a family member with Gaucher also increases your risk for it.
To make a diagnosis, your doctor will consider:
Your overall health and medical history
Your description of symptoms
Your family medical history
A physical exam
Blood tests
Gaucher disease treatment depends on the subtype and may include:
Enzyme replacement therapy, which is effective for types 1 and 3
Regular physical exams and bone density screening to monitor your disease
Bone marrow transplant
Surgery to remove your spleen
Joint replacement surgery
Blood transfusions
Complications are problems that your condition causes. They include:
Delayed growth
Delayed puberty
Weakened bones
Bone pain
Brain damage
Joint pain
Difficulty walking or getting around
If Gaucher disease runs in your family, talk with a doctor who specializes in genetics counseling to find out about your risk and the chances of passing on the disease to your children. Screening the siblings of someone with Gaucher disease could help diagnose the condition early enough for treatment to be helpful.
Call the doctor if you experience:
Loss of consciousness
Difficulty breathing
Loss of mobility
Unusual fractures or bone pain
Follow your doctor's recommendations for taking care of yourself, including taking medications as prescribed. Go to recommended follow-up medical visits. Tell your doctor if you have new symptoms, such as joint pain or seizures, or if your treatment no longer allows you to manage your original symptoms.

UO cast rides The Highest Tide
by Suzi Steffen
At almost every turn, The Highest Tide surprises and delights its audience. A coming of age tale that resembles The Catcher in the Rye not in the slightest, Tide works the mind and heart with honesty and acknowledgement of life's salty mix of joy and bitterness.
That's thanks to book author Jim Lynch, book-to-play adapter Jane Jones of Book-It Repertory Theatre in Seattle and the actors and director of University Theatre's fine production. Director Bobby Vrtis pulls excellent performances from several of his cast members and keeps the action, even in this told-in-the-past-tense play, moving along.
Like strands of kelp intertwined on the beach, threads and themes braid through the story. Science, religion and belief, desire, loss and love form a potent brew, and the play demands a large, flexible cast — something much more manageable in a university than a professional theater.

Jae Potter and Rose Barnes await the final count Tuesday.
It's hard being on pins and needles for a week, but that is exactly where Carbon County commissioner candidates Jae Potter and David Palacios have been since the election last Tuesday.
On that evening their vote totals were only separated by five votes with Palacios getting the edge, but on Tuesday of this week, after the county clerk's staff counted the provisional and absentee ballots that had come in since the election, the vote changed and Potter won by 34 votes, 2,665 to 2,631.
The long wait was also one for Republicans in the county, which haven't held a seat on the county commission for decades. Some say it has been over 40 years while others say that it hasn't happened since the late 1930s. Regardless, with Tuesday's count a new commissioner will take his seat in January.
The clerk's office reported right after the election that there were a number of provisional ballots still left to be counted as well as 18 absentee ballots still out. However, only a few (4) of the absentee ballots were returned on time with the proper postmark (the day before the election) and the provisional ballots became the turning point.
"People often don't realize what provisional ballots are," said Alexis Horsley, the deputy county clerk. "Doing those the last few years have eliminated a lot of problems at the polling places."
Horsley and County Clerk/Auditor explained that the provisional ballots are used when someone comes to a polling place without proper identification, when they are not registered at all or have had a name change. Last week there were 155 provisional ballots cast and on Tuesday 129 of those were counted.
"We cleared most of them by getting IDs from people afterward and checking with the drivers license bureau for registrations (people can register to vote at the DMV)," said Horsley. "This lets people vote and works as a catch all and it leaves the eligibility determination until later when we can certify it."
Tuesday was the first day the clerk's office could do the canvas which certifies the vote. The county has seven to 14 days in which to do that and report to the the lieutenant governor's office.
The office also was selected to do an audit of one of the voting machines in the state. Each election the lieutenant governor's office picks about one percent of the machines which the county office must audit. That consists of taking the printed paper ballots that are sealed in a machines cannister and counting them by reading them two people who mark the votes that were on that machine on a register. Those registers much match and then the processes results are reported to the state office.
Despite vote total changes across the board because of the count, not other elections were affected because none of the others were close like the commission race.

Submission Majority of Mobile Malware Now Reliant on Toll Fraud->
CowboyRobot writes: "Spyware is no longer the primary concern with unwanted software on mobile devices. According to mobile security firm Lookout, most mobile malware performs "toll fraud" — billing victims using premium SMS services. The problem is very geographically-dependent, worst in areas with weak SMS regulation, particularly China, Ukraine, and Russia, where users are 10,000 times more likely to have malware on their phones than users in Japan, for example. Other risks include mobile ads surreptitiously uploading personal data, as well as apps that download other malware without users knowing. The full report is available."

Okay... we all know that the Warriors need a good banger and we all know that Brand is probably on the block, so if you were Mullin and you wanted Elton Brand what would you do?
I'd say do the necessary signing for Biedrins then package him with Harrington for Brand. Brand would replace Biedrins as our starting center and Wright would replace Harrington as our starting power forward. Add some good random bench players through free agency and we're all good.
PG - Baron
SG - Monta
SF - Jacks
PF - Wright
C - Brand
I don't know about all of you, but that's a hell of a starting line-up if you ask me. If everyone stays healthy that's possibly a championship line-up. Plus I'm pretty sure the Clips would go for this trade as well. I would love for this to happen.
Does this sound good and if not, what would you do?

I will admit I only saw Brand once last year when I went to the Clips/Dubs game at the end of the year, but despite his 21pts/14 reb game, I thought he looked awful.
Granted it was only his 6th game back but he looked slow and has absolutely NO lift. He could not get his shot off very easy. Only clean looks he got were mid range jumpshots and one or two because he had a smaller guy on him of a switch and just used his size.
I have always been a HUGE Brand fan but wanted to get some opinions of guys that saw him more last year to see if it was just a bad game for him or what. He almost did not even move on the defensive side of the ball.
If he is close to the player he was before the injury I would welcome him here.

It's a Big Question
The Knicks won just 46 percent of their games when the two were in the starting lineup. Though it was a small sample size (six games), the Knicks won at a 66% clip when both stars were out of the lineup.
How is that possible? You'd think that with two of your top players healthy, you'd at least be above .500.
Some scouts, though, note that Stoudemire and Anthony struggle together because they both like to operate between the mid post and the elbow extended.
Woodson doesn't see that as a problem.
"I don't agree with that," the coach said. "I think both of those guys are basketball players, they both know how to play. And it's going to be up to everybody that's a part of our crew to figure it out, me being the leader of that. And we will figure it out as we go along."
Tommy DeeRyan Wallace and I have really studied this during the off season and I believe Ryan's take that Amar'e needs to become less of a volume shooter. He's obviously very used to Mike D'Antoni's system, but he can absolutely can be an all-around offensive player and that is a huge key. He needs touches but also needs to understand that quick shots in the shot clock are not conducive to this roster or offensive scheme. Carmelo is saying the right things, but, to me, it's Amar'e's offensive game that must speak for itself if the pairing is going to work.
They've proved they can play separately, and Amar'e has proven he can play pick and roll and isolate the game's best defenders and win the battle. But he must defer more to his teammates when playing with the first and final units.
