The league is trying different ways to save wear and tear on players without losing any revenue. One such idea is to shorten the game. Yet, there is more bad than good with that idea.
Members of the Phoenix Suns staff, at varying levels of the organization, are skeptical about the NBA's experiment with a 44-minute game. The NBA has sanctioned the Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics preseason game next week to run 11-minute quarters for a total of 44 minutes.
"I don't like the 44 minute game," coach Jeff Hornacek said before the San Antonio game. "I know that was discussed at the [coaches] meetings. I don't why you would shorten it. You have rosters up to 15 players, you dress thirteen of them, you have plenty of guys to play."
Indeed. One former Suns player said recently that "minutes are a player's most important commodity".
Players like Gerald Green and Isaiah Thomas, who combined for 102 starts last season, project to come off the bench for the Phoenix Suns this season. They already must face the likelihood of getting fewer minutes this season than last (28.4 and 34.7, respectively). If you shorten the game, the guys who will get fewer minutes are more likely the bench players, not the stars.
"The rest of the game is going to be more important," Hornacek said. "You're probably going to lean on the stars even more now because you don't have the time to make it up."
Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby echoed the same sentiment in an exclusive interview with Bright Side.
"I think if you have fewer minutes," he said, "The star players may play a greater percentage of those minutes because there's more at stake. I'm not sure it's the right solution."
A shorter game could squeeze out the middle class of the NBA.
Why would the NBA even consider shortening the game in the first place? The total dollars spent on salaries is predetermined in the CBA, so fewer minutes won't diminish those expenses.
The NBA, for their part, has not put a lot of messaging into the reasoning for the experiment. They mention improving the flow of the game and being forward-thinking, but the Suns' Babby applied a different possible benefit.
"Part of what we need to be focusing in is the health of the players," Babby said. "Whether the season is too long, or the games are too long, we've got to try to find ways to keep players healthier. And to that extent I support it. What I like about it is the willingness of the league to experiment and get ahead of the issues."
Babby expounded on the need for player health.
"For us, a related point is getting our players enough rest over the summer," he said. "We were vigilant in making sure the guys, young and old, were taking time off and that we were not working them too hard and they were not working themselves too hard.
"They have to get better over the summer, and we put an emphasis on player development, but they have to get some rest because the long term health of the players is the most important thing."
There is still no clear reasoning provided for the shorter game. Players don't like it. Coaches don't like it. And even front office folks are skeptical.
But if the desire of the players is to shorten the season to maintain their health, you can bet the owners would be much more amenable to shorter games than fewer games. Fewer games means fewer dollars.
"Let's be candid about it," Babby told Bright Side. "All of it's about the revenues that are generated from the games and whether or not there would have to be a diminution of the revenues in order to shorten the season.
"That's the balance. We now have 41 home games. If we had 30 we'd have less opportunities to create revenue and that's what drives everything in the business in terms of player salaries and everything else. Theoretically it's a good idea, but in practicality smarter people than me would have to figure out the math."
Ahh, the salaries. Fewer games means less revenues. Less revenues means lower salaries. Ergo, players won't ultimately push for fewer games if it impacts their bank accounts. Who would?
In fact, I'll float my own idea out there that would result in the owners and players making even more money rather than less. By cutting out 4 minutes per game, to get closer to college and international game length, a team would save three games worth of wear and tear on the players' bodies by the end of the season.
So why not lengthen the season by those three games, to an 85-game season? That way, players would end of with the same total minutes over the course of the season and the league could increase revenues at the same time.
It's all about the money, right?
Show up to your next meeting in style.
An interesting item here. Novelty ties are nothing new, but while many will feature a team or even a player, we have here a novelty tie celebrating an event. Preowned, this can be yours for less than 18 bucks, but the seller is taking offers, so try and get it for half. Next time you need to look professional, do it with this tie featuring Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Tom Chambers, Richard Dumas, Danny Ainge, Dan Majerle and Paul Westphal. Too busy of a look? For a few more bucks you can celebrate Barkley's 1993 MVP year here.
Speaking of the Round Mound of Rebound, pass on the throwback jersey and catch some eyes in this vintage t-shirt. The Awesome Adventures of Charles Barkley can get a little complicated so let me summarize. He slams to the left, he slams to the right, or he'll come right at ya! 30 bucks and it's yours.
Never miss an opportunity to let others know where your NBAllegiances lie. This Phoenix Suns picnic basket includes two wine glasses, two porcelain plates, stainless steel flatware, and two napkins that match the basket's interior. It's made of willow with dark brown leatherette accents, and has full-wrapping closure straps, an overlapping lid, and sturdy suitcase-style leatherette handle. If you've got $151 burning a hole in your pocket it's yours.
If this were buy it now, I know exactly who would buy it. As it is, I hope it sees some bids, because this is pretty cool. The Ertl Company is an American toy company best known for its die-cast metal alloy collectible replicas of farm equipment and vehicles. This offering includes a key and features the old Pacific Division of Golden State, the Lakers, the Clippers, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, and Seattle. Bidding opens at $17.75, about 8 bucks to ship.
150 piece Gorilla puzzle in a can, the best break to any work day. Seller indicates the can has a small dent in the side, but the item is otherwise "like new." There's no mention of the puzzle missing pieces, though you may want to follow up. You can end the auction for a 5 dollar bill, though the shipping is a steep 13 bucks.
Bonus unrelated swag here. We featured an Amar'e Stoudemire locker in the past, so you picked up that one, grab this Boris Diaw locker to go with it. These were stadium giveaways in the 2006-07 season along with Shawn Marion, Raja Bell, and Steve Nash. As a bonus you get a never inflated Suns soccer ball. Bidding starts at $13, buy it now is $26, shipping is $10.55
The newest of Suns Swag here. 1000 lucky fans recently received these three playing cards courtesy of Budweiser, featuring Serene, Brooke, and Amy Jo of the 2014-15 Suns Dancers. 500 BTSOS Bonus Points if you can figure out a game to play with the 3 of spades, the King of clubs, and the 10 of clubs. Buy it now for 10 bucks, free shipping.
Socks! Celebrate one of your favorite Suns with this size medium, slightly faded Elliot Perry t-shirt. Perry was in Phoenix from 1993-1996, returning for a victory lap in the 2000-01 season. As a Sun Perry averaged 7.4 points and 4.1 assists in just under 20 minutes a game. For his career, Socks scored 6.3 points a game with seven different teams. Bidding starts at 5 bucks, another $5.50 to ship.
Buy this with the Socks shirt. Do it. The seller doesn't even know what they have here, this is listed as a Jared Dudley t-shirt. Josh Childress was in Phoenix for two seasons, appeared in 88 games, averaged 15.7 minutes a game, and how does this warrant a t-shirt? Who cares, pick it up for a 10 dollar bill after shipping.
The perfect addition to your 1993 NBA Finals tie. No buy it now available, bidding starts at 10 bucks, shipping is 3. I went ahead and took another look, yes, it will go great with the tie.

Hai guys!
It's been a while! I know I haven't been uploading anything in months but life has been busy and motivation to draw when I get home has been lacking. I've been further discouraged from posting things here since the permanent ban of Callmepo which appears to be a personal vendetta by a mod looking for excuses to ban him. There were other friends who had their journals deleted discussing this topic despite there being nothing on DA policy saying that you can't talk about a member being banned. I've been down that road before but I'm at the point of not caring if my account goes that way too, apart from the marginal feelings of nostalgia.
Either way, as much as I dislike the Tumblr's interface I have to agree that DA is going the way of the dinosaur and that Tumblr is quickly rising up to fill the gap for artists wanting to draw pinups (and even porn). It's sad really, but I suppose nothing is permanent on the internet (except for Space Jam) and that things will eventually change no matter how much you invest somewhere.
For the people who are asking, yes I'm still drawing, although it is more on traditional medium and on paper scraps I find lying around. My commissions status is a little flakey (I want to accept, but I'm not open to any atm), though a lot of people have been asking me for it. I would like to eventually take one or two commissions, but they are not my main source of income which is why I'm not in any rush to offer them. While I enjoy drawing, commissions involve me drawing other people's ideas on my free time, so my pricing reflects on how much I value my free time and technical skill, and not on how much it will take to feed me. As for when I will open my status for commissions (and to put up a price list), it'll probably be during mid/late August.
With that out of the way, the main topic I'd like to discuss is about the recent story involving some tourists from Canada who decided to travel to Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, break public indecency laws, urinate over a national landmark and then went on to say "Fuck your culture". News outlets report it differently, painting them as victims and scores of people agreeing that the culture of Sabah is indeed 'stupid' all over the internet.
I've climbed Mt. Kinabalu when I was 14 years old and reach Low's Peak (ironically is the highest peak, but the guy who discovered it was called Low). It was a memorable and easy climb but I remembered being violently ill at the halfway camp (probably due to altitude sickness and whatnot at my age). I was offered to stay in and let the rest of the school group reach the peak at 4am, but I refused. I believed the regret of not trying to go up there would be worse than the regret of reaching the top with a hell of a headache/fever. Thankfully though I was correct, and the view was mesmerizing looking at the sunrise over the valley early at 4am. But I digress...
Before people get up in arms about the tourists earning arrest warrants it's important to clear up that they are being charged with public indecency and defacing a national landmark. The people around the immediate area live in small villages with a nearby town that is more developed, but the community as a whole have a rule to keep the mountain as pristine location as possible despite it being a tourist location. They also believe in spirits and superstitious beliefs, but these beliefs are not enforced by law. What is enforced by law is public indecency, littering and defacing landmarks. Canada has a similar law (Article 167 - Immoral theatrical performances and Article 173 - Indecent exposure) which grants you an arrest for public displays of nudity.
Mount Kinabalu is not exactly an isolated place as many would have believed; There are hundreds of climbers who climb the mountain daily and several thousands monthly (mostly local Malaysians), it's not uncommon to have several other climbers pass you by on the way up, some of which are local school children on trips.
The second point is the defacing of a national landmark where it is either littering or urination/defecation/spitting. In order to keep the area as pristine as possible, the only acceptable thing to leave behind is carbon dioxide from your breath. There are designated areas where toilets built at regular intervals in order to provide rest stops and to discourage people from urinating and defecating all over the mountain and trails. There are fines for people who don't follow this. From the volume of tourists and visitors the mountain gets, you can see how this equates to pouring large amounts raw untreated sewage into the ecosystem every year if this was not regulated. It would be an ecological disaster.
Thirdly, despite what officials say about their beliefs in the supernatural causes for the following tremors, they cannot call for arrests because superstitious beliefs are not enforced by law. Environmental damages and frank disregard for indecency law does, which is the main basis for the arrest warrants, despite what news outlets spin the story for you to believe.
Lastly, those tourists were warned beforehand by their tour guide on these rules, on where the rest stops were and specifically on conduct and public indecency. They had the opportunity to plan ahead of time where to take pit stops and where to throw the trash, so there was literally no excuse for ignorance or their behavior. They then went on to preemptively break those rules, stripped naked, pissed on a national landmark, told the locals to "fuck your culture" simply out of pure contempt for the area they were visiting. It saddens me that the international community agrees with their views while Malaysians are left to clean up the mess (both physical and PR) the so called 'tourists' left behind.
Sometimes I wonder if Western tourists visit Asia to see how people live differently or to simply impose their sense of superiority through cultural imperialism. It's really none of their business why our environmental rules are in place or why we have public indecency laws. They come in thinking they are the masters of other people's land they set foot on, where the local laws apply to everyone but them, like a colonialist from the 1800s. Even I can see that it's wrong to for example, to travel to Canada, strip naked and piss on a war memorial. Then later tell the locals they are stupid because those people are dead and it won't affect them and to stop being so offended.
I don't know really, but sorry for the sour note of the journal. I needed to get that off my chest.
I'll leave this with you: pbs.twimg.com/media/CG-5GA5XAA…

Lil Hal x ReaderSome Cursing and a ,little suggestive activity otherwise, enjoy the fanfic, don't like, don't readLil Hal x Reader by dawndahedgehog
It had been exactly seven weeks of preparing yourself
Why? That's easy.
You had developed the most inhumane crush on a form of a pointy shaded Strider
Not just any Strider, the one without a body.
Yes, you, had gotten feelings for that cursed AutoResponder
You couldn't even visit Dirk because you knew so well how royally screwed over you would become
So you had finally sucked in your gut and went through this 7 week process of reasons why you would never be able to have a relationship with a sassy pair of pointed shades
You felt quite proud of yourself as you had knocked upon the door of Dirk Strider. Finally you two could have your 'Anime Bro/Sis' marathon you guys wanted. He called you Sis since you were on sibling level of friendship, and you never dared to tell of the affections you had previously harbored for the AutoResponder
But now, you we

It was official
The world was against you today.
You had gotten the worst sickness ever
Who knows what you might have to make up, or how long you'd be sick, there was hot flashes, you nearly throwing your guts up this morning
Then there was HIM
Oh, god, you didn't even want to know what he might do to your heart
Who is this person, by any chance?
It was the eldest brother of the Striders, Broderick Strider, or just 'Bro' for short.
Anytime you'd be around him, he would drive you up a wall, yeah, that's how crazy he drove you. With this flirts and smuppet shenanigans.
It was hard enough avoiding him in the apartment complex, if he found out you were sick, you might not escape whatever insane 'ironic' thing he might do, last time you visited the house, he was wearing a damn sailor moon cosplay, posing and said

You look at the poster on the board and sighed.
Today wasn't going to be very good for you
It was the annual festival that came around this year every time, you and your large group of friends would go.
However, the occasion is you bring someone with you as a date, girlfriend/boyfriend, well, you get the gist.
Once again you'll have to bring Lil' Seb as a buddy to the festival
Why? well you see, everyone else had a relationship.
Dave had grown a pair and asked Harley to be his girlfriend
John had actually hooked up with Roxy, much to your amusement
Rose had Kanaya, and you had to admit they were so cute together.
You knew that Jake had a certain pointy shaded Strider and Crocker pining after him.
You'd admit you wish you could have a chance.
However Jake did have a Girlfriend, much to your dismay.
It was Aranea Serket, and holy shit from first glance you knew she was only going to hurt

(Name) was in the middle of brushing her teeth when her phone started vibrating on the bathroom sink. She already knew who it was before she answered the phone so she didn't bother to look at the caller ID. She cleared her mouth of the remnants of toothpaste and answered her phone. "Sup, Dave?"
"Well good morning to you too, Miss Early Riser," Dave said on the other end of the line. (Name) rolled her eyes while smiling to herself. "Sooo get this, my power is down again and I have no idea when it's gonna come back on."
"Again?" (Name) raised an eyebrow as she rinsed her tooth brush off.
"Apparently so," Dave said.
"So I'm guessing that means that you'll be wanting to crash here for the night again."
Dave laughed and leaned back on his bed. "You can read me like a book, can't you?"
"You better hope so after a year and a half of being together," (Name) said and discarded her tooth brush in the tooth brush holder and turned the water off. "I have to make a run to the grocery store real fas
Kitten!Dave x ReaderYou looked at all the different kittens, there was so many it was hard to pick one. There was a group of at lest four kittens, two black ones, one ginger, and an albino that has black around it's red eyes. One black kitten had blue eyes and the other had green, well the ginger had purple eyes.Kitten!Dave x Reader by PsychoStar1993
The albino caught your eye, just the way he walked around made you think of the cool kids you went to school with. That was when you made up your mind, you where going to pick that kitten. So you made your way over to a group of kittens, three of them looked up at you with curious well the albino seemed to look at you with a poker face. You smiled as you reached out you hand towards the albino, asking if it was ok to pat him. He then stared at you for a few seconds before nuzzling your hand. This made your smile grow as you picked up the kitten and went to find the lady to fill out the papers so you could adopt your knew kitten.

Christmas Party [ReaderXDave]I'm still not really sure how Nepeta was able to drag me to this ridiculous party; anyone who knew me knew exactly how much I despised loud crowded places. This was exactly why I was hiding out in an empty room of the large house I knew to be Feferi's. I still wasn't sure why I didn't just go home, but I suppose it was mostly due to the fact that I didn't want to be alone on Christmas yet again. As much as I loved Christmas and all it entailed, it just kind of sucked that I always had to spend it solo. Letting out a long breath I rolled off the guest bed I had taken as my dwelling for the time being. No reason to complain about being lonely when there where a ton of people just downstairs. Leaving the room my senses where immediately struck with loud Christmas music and screaming people. Instantly regretting opening the door I turned back around to go back into hiding; at least that was the plan before the host of the party spotted me and demanded that I cChristmas Party [ReaderXDave] by strange-is-easier

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Kids' Cold Medicines: Guidelines
In this article
Should my child use kids' cold medicine?
The current recommendations from the FDA are:
- Do not use cold and cough medicines in children under age 4 unless advised by your doctor.
- Never give adult medicines to children. Only use medicines designed for children.
- Never use a cold or cough drug if your child takes other prescription or over-the-counter medicines, unless you've checked with the doctor first.
- Carefully follow the instructions for dosing on the box.
- Use the enclosed measuring spoon, dropper, or dosing cup.
- Take your child to the doctor if symptoms worsen or don't improve within a few days.
Also, many experts say that parents should go further and stop using any kids' cold medicine in children under age 6 unless their doctors recommend it.
In 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics called on the FDA to make such a recommendation. In addition, the AAP asked that OTC cold/cough medicine manufacturers to use weight-based rather than age-based dosing recommendations, saying weight is more accurate for determining the correct dose of a drug. The AAP also asked that dosing devices have a flow-limiting capacity to prevent against overdose.
What can I give my kids for a cold or cough?
Nothing cures a cold, but pediatricians say these strategies may help:
- Call the child's doctor right away if he is three months of age or younger at the first sign of an illness.
- Reduce the child's fever using appropriate medication (check with a doctor), such as acetaminophen (Tylenol). Do not use ibuprofen in children under age 6 months or if your child is vomiting or dehydrated. Do not use aspirinwith any child because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious disease.
- Consider using honey for coughs or sore throat for kids, but only if they are older than age 1.
- Try saline drops or spray to clear thick mucus out of your child's nose.
- Give your child plenty of liquids to increase hydration and help thin mucus.
- Use a humidifier in your child's room to add moisture to the dry air.
- If your child wheezes, call your doctor. Other treatments may be needed to help open airways.
- To ease congestion, keep the child's head elevated when resting.
