Zimmerman has been taking boxing lessons from Oscar Dela Hoya...they also have been snorting some lines to trim Zimm down a bit....
With the narc hard on....Oscars coaching .....and DMX's inability to not b's upsets overs Traydons deaths....I say Z will take him...but he better have a strap on(not dildo SheriV)in case it gets reals uglies..
he should dedicate his win to Trayvon
Aussies and Philadelphians are the only people here
i think he should fight the rev. Al sharpton.
i hope dmx fucks him up, but he needs to come to fight and not be on crack that day

My son is 11 weeks old today and he used to breastfeed all the time.
When he was about 3 weeks old I started using a bottle with formula because I did not think I was making enough milk for him. As the weeks went on he got more bottle less me and I do not have a pump.{nore can I afford one right now} Now he won't latch on to me not even with the shield and I think my milk
is drying up. Is there anything I can do to get him back on or should I just stay with formula?

A Clovis man was taken to the Plains Regional Medical Center on Friday night for smoke inhalation after a fire burned through his mobile home.
Michael De Mmon, a resident in the Hicks Trailer Estates trailer park on 314 West 14 St., said he smelled smoke around 8 p.m. and ran out to see the trailer on fire. De Mmon said he saw his neighbor emerging from the trailer, which was engulfed in flames. He said he gave his neighbor shoes and a jacket and called 911.
De Mmon said his neighbor told him he was sleeping when the fire started.
Firefighters arrived at 8:17 p.m. and took the man to the hospital, according to CFD officials. The fire was contained at around 8:30 p.m., officials said.
De Mmon and fire officials at the scene said they did not know the identity of the man who lived in the mobile home.

Mount Horeb teen dies from injuries at State Fair
Man was ejected from truck
A Mount Horeb teen died after sustaining traumatic head injuries in an accident at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds, according to a report from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner.
The report states John Klossner, 19, of Mount Horeb, fell off a moving truck at the fairgrounds on Aug. 3 and died on Monday.
A detective said Klossner was sitting on the bed of the truck with his feet hanging over the edge, and there were four others in the back of the truck. The driver hit the accelerator ejecting Klossner and one other person, according to the detective. Klossner landed on his feet, fell backward and struck his head on the asphalt.
Klossner was receiving rehab on Monday when he became unresponsive and died, according to the report.

Please Keep Nate Robertson Away From The Mound!
Last night, I knew I should be up at the computer, doing some Actual Work. But I really wanted to watch just a little more of the Phillies-Marlins game. The Phillies were actually giving Cole Hamels some run support!
Maybe they saw my little note to them in my last entry.🙂
When the score got to 7-0 in favor of the Phillies, I felt that it was safe to go to work. Cole was pitching really well, and the offense was putting up some crooked numbers. By the time he left the game, after seven shutout innings, the Phils were up 10-0.
Then Nate Robertson entered the game. The same Nate Robertson who had been released by the Marlins earlier this season after posting a 6-8 record in 19 games, with a 5.47 ERA.
Robertson managed to record only two outs before getting lifted, and gave up 6 runs! Yikes! Then again, what should I expect from a pitcher with a career 55-77 record and an ERA hovering around 5, who was apparently better known in Detroit for his gum-chewing than his pitching?
In 2006, the year of "Gum Time", the Tigers made it to the World Series after quite a few years of ineptitude. Since the Phillies have their sights set on making it to the Series for the third year in a row, maybe they should use Robertson not as a pitcher, but as a "designated chewer".
I'm sure he's being paid enough to cover the ensuing dental bills.
(scan from Detroit Tigers Magazine – 2006 Season, Issue No. 3)
***Post-blog update! Robertson will not be near the mound anymore this season. As of yesterday afternoon, he had been designated for assignment. I am not upset about this.***

I was surprised when I read this post, Sue. I still thought Robertson was a Tiger! LOL. Guess I've been out of the NL loop, but sorry he turned the game into an adventure.
DFA ~ Hahaha Chew on that scrub! I have a couple of "Gum Chewers" on my team I'd like DFA'd (Deleted From America).
With the extra time, he can chew all the gum he wants now ;o)

So I am sure this has been asked a million times before but while searching through the threads I keep getting side tracked finding new info. So I think I need to just ask in my own thread because I am a busy milk momma with a newborn.
I am scheduled to return to my part time job on the 30th. I have a single Medela electric which works as well as it can I believe? I get about double or triple from my right breast as I do from my left. I have been pumping for well over a week now due to mastitis that lead my son to refuse my breast, then I got it in my other breast so I was pumping and using bottles for a few days. We seem to be back on track with nursing however I am not sure how to get a very good stock of milk for him while I am back at work and not make my milk supply out of control causing me issues again. When I am back to work it will be Fri Sat and Mon only and about 10 hrs each day with my work schedule and getting there and back.
I was thinking setting a schedule for pumping? Say every 5 hrs and continue to nurse on demand? Will that work? Because is it true that there will always be milk there for my son no matter what, as in if he is ready to eat 15 mins after I just sat and pumped for 30- 45 mins?
I am also about to order the Medela PIS so I wont have that until it ships to me, but will have that in plenty of time for returning to work.
Thanks in advance for any input, everyone here is always so helpful!

Exercise can sometimes feel like a chore—an activity at the bottom of your daily to-do list. But finding time for fitness is important. That's especially true if you are trying to lose or control your weight. Thanks to a recent study, fitting it in may be easier than you think.
In the American Journal of Health Promotion, researchers describe how they analyzed the activity levels of more than 4,500 adults ages 18 to 64. Study participants wore a device called an accelerometer for 7 days. It measured the duration and intensity of their physical activity.
With the resulting data, investigators divided activity levels into 4 types. There were higher-intensity short bouts, higher-intensity long bouts, lower-intensity short bouts, and lower-intensity long bouts. Short bouts were periods of activity that lasted less than 10 minutes. Long ones were 10 minutes or more. Higher-intensity activity was considered moderate to vigorous movement, such as brisk walking.
What did the data show? Men and women who registered more bouts of higher-intensity movement tended to weigh less. Of particular note: It didn't matter if participants partook in shorter or longer stints of such activity. Both were equally effective in controlling weight. What's more, longer periods of brisk activity lowered the risk for obesity by 5% in women and 2% in men.
Too few Americans exercise enough. Experts recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity on most days of the week. But only 20% of adults are meeting those physical activity guidelines. Working in some brisk activity—if only for 10 minutes at a time—can help you exercise more, as well as control your weight.
Need some ideas? Try taking a brisk walk 3 times a day for 10 minutes. Opt for the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. Or ramp up the intensity of household chores. You can also do simple exercises anywhere—at home or on the job. Try these 2:
Stand behind a sturdy chair. Hold it for balance.
Lift one leg up behind you. Don't bend your knee or lean forward. Repeat for 10 to 15 times.
Switch to the other leg.
Place your palms against a wall at shoulder width and height.
With your feet flat on the floor, lean into the wall, bending your elbows.
After 1 second, push yourself away from the wall until your arms are straight.
Perform the movement 10 to 15 times.
Sitting too much at work may be contributing to the obesity problem. Past research has documented that people with sedentary occupations sit an average of 1.5 to 2 hours more on work days compared with days off.
New gadgets, such as treadmill desks, are helping workers be more active on the job. In 1 study, a small group of office employees were given treadmill desks for 1 year. Researchers noted that the workers' daily activity levels increased while using the desks. Participants also lost weight.

American Nightmare
Sequestration cuts will force tens of thousands of people out of their homes and onto the streets
By Dr. Anthony Manousos , Dr. Jill Shook 04/25/2013
When my wife Jill came back from a meeting of the Pasadena Homeless and Housing Network and told me how sequestration would affect low-income folk, my heart sank.
Sequestration — the budget-slashing measure that took place because Congress was unwilling to deal intelligently with our fiscal crisis — is having a serious impact on homelessness here in Pasadena and throughout the USA.
Myrtle Dunson, housing manager for the city of Pasadena, reported that sequestration requires that the number of Section 8 housing vouchers in the city be cut by 50 to 75 as of April 1. These vouchers are what enable 1,406 low-income people to afford housing here in Pasadena.
This is "only" a 5 percent cut, but some of those whose Section 8 assistance has been cut will likely end up homeless. Nan Roman, president of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, puts these cuts into a national perspective:
"It is estimated that over 125,000 families and individuals — more than half of whom are elderly and disabled — may lose their housing through the cuts to the housing assistance programs. ... While some programs that aid poor people are exempt from sequestration, these efforts to meet the basic needs of the poorest people are not."
According to the most recent homeless count, Pasadena has 772 homeless persons, a 15 percent decrease, thanks in part to Housing Works, an organization that houses the chronically and at-risk homeless, thereby saving the city money (since this population tends to need services such as hospitalization and other types of assistance). This highly successful program will suffer cuts up to 5.9 percent due to sequestration.
Of those 772 Pasadenans counted as homeless this year, 560 are unsheltered, including 39 homeless veterans and 33 families with a total of 59 children.
The homeless population is growing older and more prone to illness, as Rebecca Kuzins pointed out in a recent Pasadena Weekly article titled "Aging into homelessness: Experts say more seniors will be on the streets if more isn't done to increase housing opportunities" (April 4). (Please see related story on page 8.)
Nonprofits and churches are working tirelessly to help those in need. Friends In Deed (formerly known as ECPAC), Union Station and other groups work together to provide services for Pasadena's homeless population.
Family Promise, a national organization with a new affiliate in the San Gabriel Valley, involves 14 congregations that rotate hosting three to five homeless families, while a full-time director helps these families find jobs and housing. Four Pasadena churches — Friendship Baptist, First Baptist, Lincoln Avenue Baptist and Holliston Community Church — are hosting homeless families, while One Voice Free Methodist Church is offering support for this highly effective program.
According to the US Council of Mayors, "lack of affordable housing" is one of the primary causes of homelessness. That's why we need to urge Congress to increase — not cut back — Section 8 vouchers. That's why we need to expand and strengthen inclusionary zoning, like the ordinance in Pasadena that created more than 460 units of affordable housing at no expense to taxpayers (developers are required to make at least 15 percent of their units affordable). We also need to encourage cities to take seriously Assembly Bill 1866, the state law allowing homeowners to build second units (so-called "granny flats") — a policy that has worked quite well to create affordable housing in places like Santa Cruz and Culver City.
Finally, we need to make a serious commitment to create more affordable housing by supporting the California Homes and Jobs Act of 2013 (Senate Bill 391).
This act will:
• Create 29,000 jobs annually, primarily in the beleaguered construction sector.
• Help businesses attract and retain the talent that fuels California's economy.
• Generate an estimated $500 million in state investment and leverage an additional $2.78 billion in federal, local and private investment.
• Deploy these dollars throughout California using a successful private/public partnership model, creating jobs and generating revenue for local governments.
• Build safe and affordable apartments and single-family homes for Californians in need, including families, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and people experiencing homelessness.
As Christians, Jill and I believe we have a God-mandated responsibility to make sure that our neighbors have decent housing they can afford: "There were no needy persons among [early Christians]. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and distributed it among the needy" (Acts 4:34).
Housing for all Americans has also been national policy ever since Congress passed the US Housing Act in 1949, calling for "a decent home and suitable living environment for every American family."
Decent housing for all Americans is the true American dream, one that we could and should make a reality. If wealthy and privileged Americans paid their fair share of taxes (at least as much as middle-class people do), and if the middle class chipped in a bit, we could meet this goal and end homelessness in America. Si, se puede!
Anthony Manousos and his wife Jill Shook reside in Northwest Pasadena and work to promote affordable housing as well as other community concerns, such as reducing gun violence (both are involved in the Pasadena Area Gun Buyback campaign). Dr. Shook, with help from her husband, a Quaker peace activist, authored/edited "Making Housing Happen: Faith-Based Affordable Housing Models" (2012), a book that offers workable solutions and true stories by people of faith who have made housing happen for those in need.

my LO is 5 months old (today!). She shows all the signs of being ready to eat solids (holds head, sits well supported, very interested in food, she's starting to crawl and related or not, wakes up 4-6x per night to eat <<saying that, the feedings aren't long and sometimes I think she latches and sucks just to go back to sleep>>). I would start now BUT, I was reading some literature from the Hospital for Sick Children (in Toronto -- plus I've read in other sources too) that starting too early may negate or reduce the protective effects from BF'ing (and I EBF now). I do NOT want to erase these months of hard work!!! I do know that every major health organizaiton (WHO, american and canadian pediatric associations all recommend to start at 6 months).
On the other hand, she's reached all the signs she's ready and I do think she'd enjoy it. Plus some people say that that's the best time to start and you can't follow the book or "the rules" and to let your LO be your guide. If she's my guide, I'm thinking she's ready BUT again, I don't want to negate any positive effects of our BF'ing!!!!
Any help ladies?? Any current research articles/resources that can help guide my decision. I know it's "just" a month away but it does seem like a long time, especially with LO watching us like a hawk eating and reaching out for food!!

I've been nursing my 3 mo son, and supplementing with either ebm or formula as necessary, since my supply doesn't seem to meet his needs. Additionally, he is only about 10 lbs but with his ht and head size the dr wants him to be closer to 12 lbs. She's been having me supplement him 3x/day after he nurses to try and get more calories into him and help him gain more weight. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working as well as expected, probably b/c he is just not hungry after nursing, and some days he just doesn't want to eat much at all. Consequently, he hasn't really gained much this week, and we have a weight check on Wednesday. A friend had mentioned that when her twins (born premature) were younger she was adding formula to ebm and it helped them gain more quickly. Is this a real option, or are there other things I suggest to the dr instead? I wouldn't do anything until talking to the dr first, but thought if others had experience with this they could offer input. I am trying to bulk up the supply, with Fenugreek, oatmeal, more frequent nursing and pumping after feedings. Haven't seen much improvement yet, but am hoping to soon. Thanks for any advice.

Republican Mitt Romney's campaign has filed a federal lawsuit seeking more time for military and overseas voters in Wisconsin to return ballots that were sent past a federal deadline.
The campaign on Sunday provided copies of the lawsuit filed in federal court in Madison on Friday.
The campaign earlier this month sent a letter to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board asking that the deadline for returning military and overseas ballots be extended. A spokesman for the GAB said 44 ballots were sent up to five days after the Sept. 22 deadline.
Federal law requires the ballots to be returned by Nov. 9.
The lawsuit seeks at least five additional days for them to be returned.
A spokesman for the GAB did not immediately respond to a Sunday email seeking comment.

Hi. New here.
My baby is 5 weeks and I've been breastfeeding him since birth. He's gained 3.5 pounds since birth and his doctor has deemed him healthy.
First, some backgroundI had touble getting a latch when he was born so the lc at the hospital advised me to use a nipple shield and I've been using it since. She said I had flat nipples and thought my baby could be tongue-tied but a doctor evaluated him and said he wasn't.
Baby feeds about every two hours for about 30 minutes to an hour. I feed him on demand. He wets many diapers and up until now has pooped at every feed.
My first question is that suddenly he's hardly pooping at all. He didn't poop at all last night and only pooped 3 times today, two of which were substantial, but they used to all be substantial. He's still wetting a lot of diapers though. Is this change normal?
My other question is that the last couple days he's been fussing a lot on my right boob. He breaks off and cries and even whines while he's nursing. He nurses normally on the left boob but he's always been a bit fussy while nursing. Now it's more dramatic. I've read this could be an overactive letdown but I've never thought I had that problem. I don't really feel a letdown anymore and my breasts are softer now and rarely feel full. I never really leaked. Because of his good weight gain and numerous diapers I have never doubted my supply, but now I'm worried my supply is dropping and he's fussing because I'm not producing enough milk anymore.
I want to blame the shield but I have not had much success trying to latch without it.
Sorry for the long post. Help please?

This may be my favorite old school death metal album. It's a pretty close between this and Left Hand Path.
Edit: I take that back, LHP is better

Yeah this album has a really nice and raw sound. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me over the years and I love the technical, unpredictable songwriting. At The Gates are kinda great in the sense that every release was a little different, but all quite good at what each did.

Advanced Micro Devices on Tuesday finally formally introduced its code-named Llano A-series accelerated processing units (APUs) that feature the company's current-generation processor cores as well as desktop-class DirectX 11-compatible graphics processing unit (GPU). The new chips will enable never-before-seen multimedia experience on inexpensive solutions. Besides, the new APUs are AMD's first 32nm solutions.
"The AMD A-Series APU represents an inflection point for AMD and is perhaps the industry's biggest architectural change since the invention of the microprocessor," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD products group.
AMD A-series desktop APUs have either four K10.5+/Husky x86 cores (1.40GHz – 1.90GHz clock-speed for mobile chips) as well as Radeon HD 6000-class "BeaverCreek" (320 or 400 stream processors) graphics core or two x86 cores (at 1.9GHz – 2.10GHz for mobile chips) and "WinterPark" (160 stream processors) integrated graphics engine. The chips support dual-channel DDR3 memory controllers, up to 4MB of cache, select processors also feature AMD Turbo Core dynamic acceleration technology as well as a special multi-GPU graphics support.
Given the fact that Llano APUs sport code-named K10.5+ x86 CPU cores, it is unlikely that they will offer leading-edge performance in applications that rely on performance of microprocessors. Clearly, the A-series APUs are not about enthusiast-class of performance, but are tailored to offer maximum possible multimedia - gaming and video - experience at a moderate cost today. Once AMD's Fusion initiative, which is designed to popularize acceleration of consumer application using GPUs, AMD's A-series as well as previously introduced Ontario/Zambezi (Brazos) will get a speed bump in programs that take advantage of massively parallel graphics cores. Therefore, the new chips are somewhat future-proof. AMD claims that built-in Radeon HD 6000-series graphics cores with up to 400 stream processors provide up to 400GFLOPS peak performance for notebook, and up to 500GFLOPS for desktops. More than 50 applications now are accelerated by the family of AMD Fusion APUs, according to AMD.
The code-named Llano family of APUs will help AMD to maintain its share on the market of desktops or will even expand its share in the segment where performance of integrated graphics matters. But what AMD definitely hopes to do is to increase its share inside growing segment of laptop computers since thanks to high integration and new technologies to reduce power consumption the A-series should be more competitive than Intel's Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" when it comes to mainstream consumer notebooks. According to AMD, notebooks powered by the A-series APU will deliver up to 10.5 hours of battery life.
"The battery life of the AMD A-Series APU is a huge leap forward and will surprise many consumers and commercial customers. And the supercomputer-like performance will give people some revolutionary capabilities, like real-time image stabilization –taking out all the shakes and jitters in those hand-held videos on the fly, while you're watching," said Chris Cloran, vice president and general manager of client division at AMD.
Additionally, AMD dynamic switchable graphics optimize battery life on PCs featuring AMD dual-graphics solutions by intelligently managing power states on the APU and separate discrete AMD Radeon GPU.
The new breed of Llano chips is AMD's first line of microprocessors made using 32nm silicon-on-insulator process technology. The fabrication process appeared to be a pretty tough nut for AMD's manufacturing partner Globalfoundries to crack. The 32nm chips are late to market compared to their original schedule because of insufficient yields at the early stages of manufacturing and at present it is unknown how fast will AMD transit its product lineup to new 32nm designs. Still, AMD has been shipping the new processors for months now, which is why they should be available pretty widely.
According to AMD, the A-series APUs are scheduled to appear in more than 150 notebooks and desktops from leading OEMs throughout the second quarter of 2011 and beyond.

Hi, y'all!
All around newbie here - new to this forum, new to fly fishing, really new to fly tying, but enjoying the heck out of all of it. Spent the last week or so reading the boards and the Journal Archives and it looks like a pretty cool place to hang out and pick up some good info. Hope y'all can tolerate a fair smattering of newbie-type questions.
A little background info: originally from the Gulf Coast area, ranging from Baton Rouge, LA to Mobile, AL and to Houston, TX before finally moving up here to Kingston, TN in 1995. Have always loved the mountains and started reading everything I could find about fly fishing in Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, etc as a pre-teen. Bought a cheap K-Mart Special fly fishing rig when I was about 14 and tried to teach myself to cast (with extremely limited success) on my Granddaddy's pond. Got frustrated and quit.
Turned 50 this past February and decided that I would spend my mid-life crisis learning how to fly fish for real so that when (if?) I finally retire I can get another motorcyle and go riding around in the mountains, stopping off to fish whenever I find some interesting water. My 14 year old son thought it would be cool to join dear old Dad in this little adventure, so we're learning together.
Took the Fly Fish 101 course at Pellissippi State back in March and picked up some good info. When my son was out of school for spring break in April, we took a 1-day private lesson at Little River Outfitters under the tutelage of Chuck Kline and picked up some more good info and some great on-the-water time. Didn't catch any fish that afternoon, but did catch a good case of fly fishing fever.
Spent the next month or so getting geared up, filling up fly boxes, etc. Made a quick trip over to Troutfest, watched Lefty Kreh's casting demo, bought some more flies, and watched several talented folks take a hook, some thread, and bits of feather and fluff and magically transform them into things resembling trout food. They made it look so easy I thought, "I could do that, and it would give me something to do in the evenings when I'm not out fishing". But, I figured I had better wait until I had actually caught some fish before I started branching out. Took the boy out for another day fishing in the Smokys and got skunked again. But, again, we had a good time together, even if we didn't catch anything.
When school finally let out, I took a few days off from work and the boy and I went up to Roan Mountain State Park to camp and fish some of the local waters. We finally figured out how to drift a nymph through a run and caught several trout on the Doe. Plus we hit the sulphur hatch on the South Holston and caught a few more using a variety of flies and some great advice we picked up from some of the locals. Since then we've made a couple of trips up to the Clinch in the evenings after work, but haven't caught much of anything on either of those trips. Of course, nobody else was catching much of anything either, so we didn't feel too bad.
For the last couple of weeks the boy has been out travelling around, visiting relatives and doing general summer vacation type stuff, and I've been tied up at work, so we haven't been doing any fishing for a while. I did make a run by LRO and bought some fly tying gear & materials and ordered a couple of good fly tying books (Charlie Craven's Basic Fly Tying, and The Benchside Introduction to Fly Tying), and have been trying my hand at tying. So far I've tied up a few Wooly Buggers & Brassies, a metric buttload of Green (and Pink) Weenies, and am currently working on my Gold-ribbed Hare's Ears and Pheasant Tail nymphs. The first few of each pattern were a little rough, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it a little bit. Can't wait for LRO to start offering their fly tying classes again this fall/winter. I think I'll be ready for some professional help (in more ways than one) by then.
Here in another week or so things will be easing up again at work and I'll probably take a couple of days off to take the boy back up to the Smokys, or maybe we'll try some streams over toward Tellico. Either way, we'll get back on the water for another day or two before school starts back.
Gee, I guess that was a bit more that a little background. But that's where we're at, and I'm really looking forward to learning all I can from you folks. Hopefully, I'll be able to add some value myself somewhere along the way.
How's it going Santa. I am from Buras, LA and took a similar path.
Welcome to the board.
What type of bike do you ride?
Back in college, and for several years after, I rode a Yamaha Maxim 650. When I got married and started having kids, the wife begged me to get rid of the bike and not get another one until the kids are out of the house. As she put it, "Once the kids are grown you can kill yourself on the d****d thing if you want to and I won't care!" Four more years and our son will be out of high school and I will immediately be in the market for a Goldwing-style cruiser. Until then I just watch them go by and dream wistfully of that day.
Fly fishing - it's cheaper than a bass boat!
Welcome Stana Claus! Ex Houston refugee here back home where I belong but enjoyed my stay back in the early 80's. Spent two years in a sky scraper doing consulting engineering work till the recession hit town. Best thing about the Houston area was Galveston Island, loved that place, absolutely great sea food at some of those beachfront restaurants.
As you have discovered this is a great place to gather advice and swap tall tales. Good luck with fly tying, its fun and is a second best to fishing when you can't get to water. Keep trying the Clinch, it'll pay off soon.
The one thing I do miss though is the food. Anything you wanted from anywhere around the world, there was a restaurant that served it and served it well. Up here everything is cooked to death and covered in brown gravy, and catsup is thought to be spicy!

An amateur linguist loses control of the language he invented.
There are so many ways for speakers of English to see the world. We can glimpse, glance, visualize, view, look, spy, or ogle. Stare, gawk, or gape. Peek, watch, or scrutinize. Each word suggests some subtly different quality: looking implies volition; spying suggests furtiveness; gawking carries an element of social judgment and a sense of surprise. When we try to describe an act of vision, we consider a constellation of available meanings. But if thoughts and words exist on different planes, then expression must always be an act of compromise.... see link.

It was sent to me. I liked the word Ithkuil so I read carefully (i think). Not that I really see the need for such a compressed language. Where would all the words go that are so nice, silly or disturbing? I would miss them. I tried to understand but of course I don't. If efficient, I don't understand to who or for what purpose people keep having those dreams.
What I do like is the name given to each of these constructed languages. Like titles of never written books.

The only problem with such a language, and it's a big one, is that the less redundancy in the message, the greater chance of miscommunication._________________________

> miscommunication
Yes. And surely also nuncle, the reduced chance of felicitous imaginative sparks... for communication, like the process of genetics, relies on spontaneity and endogenous changes to produce new synaptic leaps of discovery.
If communication were to be perfucted© we would receive only that which was given, and the only end could be entropy.

Would be nice to have an athletic guy off the bench, all i can remember about him is he Dunks lol.
Nice move we need some bodies on the bench
Not exactly what you'd call a reliable source, but they seem to be convinced!
James White will continue his career in the NBA. The American forward agreed to terms with the New York Knicks and will sign a guaranteed contract with them.
White has played in Italy over the last two seasons with Dinamo Sassari and VL Pesaro.
White was the top scorer in Serie A in 2010-11 with 20.2ppg while in the season 2012-13 he scored 17.1ppg.
The forward has already played in the NBA with Spurs and Rockets averaging 5.6ppg in 10 games.

Check out the FT Line 2 handed windmill!
Alan Hahn confirmed it so I'm inclined to believe this one's true. One year deal.
Not a great shooter but I always had him on my Knicks team in 2K, just for his speed and dunking ability.
Don't expect much from this guy, he's not better than Landry Fields. There's a reason why he wasn't playing in the NBA. Sure he could have a resurrection like Gerald Green did last year with the Nets, but it is highly unlikely. I am only expecting sporadic minutes out of White & once Shump gets back he will be wearing a suit on the bench.
James White is underrated. He improved alot since his stint in the NBA. Will hopefully become a good player as a reserve.
We need to sign Prignoni and Arroyo, the two best PGs in Europe if we cant sign Lin.
Camby has to be a priority also we need big man depth and insure for Camby.
Ray Allen cannot go to the Heat if we want a chance at a title, sign Allen, Camby, Prignoni, Arroyo. Resign Lin and Novak. is that possible? Im not too familar with how the CBA works. I want this to be the 2013 Knicks.
PG - Lin/Arroyo/Prignoni
SG - Allen/Shumpert/Douglas
SF - Anthony/Novak
PF - Amare/Jefferies/Harrellson
C - Tyson/Camby/Jordan
I know it's a miss but DAAAAyyyYYmmMNNNnn.
Until I see this guy contribute to some Knicks Ws, I'm not impressed. I doubt he gets much playing time anyway.

Fire Chief Donnie Morris said that when he was called he asked what the Alice Volunteer Fire Department needed.
He said he made the decision to send the ladder truck after he was told that, because of the nature of the blaze, firemen would be required to enter the building to get to the source.
The chief said he was told that if the Alice firefighters could get aerial trucks to the fire, it would mean that firemen would not have to enter the building.
The fire started in the 100 block of Main Street in that city, in the former Clack's Furniture Store. Morris said that building and one next to it were involved.
The Alice Echo-News identified the other building as Integrity Supply Co. on King Street.
"It (the fire) was probably about as big as the one we had downtown," Morris said, referring to a blaze decades ago that took out a significant part of Beeville's main shopping district at the time.
"There were six or seven fire departments including ours," Morris said.
The Echo-News identified the other departments as coming from Ben Bolt, Premont, Orange Grove, Kingsville and San Diego.
According to the Echo-News, the fire actually started at about 1 p.m., and firefighters battled the blaze for 10 hours.
The roof of the building eventually collapsed, and the businesses lost everything inside.
Alice's trucks were called back to the scene Saturday to put out hot spots that continued to smolder.
When the Alice firefighters realized they needed an aerial truck, they called the Ingleside Volunteer Fire Department. But that department's ladder truck blew a tire and got to the scene late.
"They got there at about the same time we did," Morris said.
Firefighters here received the call from Alice at about 4:15 that afternoon, and Morris said it was after midnight before they returned to the C.M. "Smitty" Smith Central Fire Station.
According to Morris, the two tower trucks did their job, extinguishing most of the flames before any firemen had to enter the buildings.
The chief said he was not sure how many gallons of water the BVFD's truck pumped onto the blaze. But the truck ran low on fuel once and the firemen had to refuel before returning to the scene to fight more flames.
By the time the six firefighters returned to Beeville, they had logged 110 miles on Tower 1's odometer.

For The Guys In The Pits ...
The Unknown Pit Guy
Well I'm not the kind to show and tell
But I've been seen with Wendy
I've never been on Teee-Veeee before, such a chore!
I've been on fire in practice,
Gone fast with a guy named Joe(y)
But somehow I just never get any credit
It's a death defying life I lead, I take my chances
I'd die for a living in NASCAR and TV
But the hardest thing I ever do, is watch my winning driver
Kiss the Sprint girl, while I'm bandaging my knee...
I might fall from a tall pit box, I might make a wining car
Cause I'm the unknown pit guy that made Johnson such a star!
I've never spent much time in school, but here they teach us plenty
It's true we hire our bodies out for pay! Hey hey !
I've gotten burned by Tony Stewart, blown up next to Ryan Newman
But when it winds up in the news, it's just about them! Hey hey !
I might sprint back to the hauler or Tarzan from a vine
Cuz I'm the unknown pit guy that makes Edwards look so fine
They'll never put me in charge, but I got the best idea's
Some day I got 'em as far as the eye can see – ooo-wee
A morning drive with Kyle Busch, a crash in the night with Montoya
But in the end they never listen to me
I might trip on the hose, so Kurt Busch won't get hurt
I might fix his broken car so he can still be a jerk
And when he pushed me to the ground, I'm just kissin dirt
Yes I'm the unknown pit guy that helped make a driver out of Kurt
Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.

Feld backs nonprofit TinkerMill in Longmont
- published_in
- Today's News
Venture capitalist Brad Feld and his wife, Amy Batchelor, have donated $5,000 to TinkerMill, a nonprofit community workshop where members – artists, scientists, engineers or other creatives – can go to use the tools there.
"That will help flavor the types of people who might be interested (in donating),´ said Scott Converse, TinkerMill's founder and president.
TinkerMill has a pair of locations: a 6,100-square-foot space at 1840 Delaware Place and a 1,500-square-foot space at 519 4th Ave. downtown.
From woodworking to 3-D printing to beer-brewing equipment, there are all types of tools available at the space for working on inventions, prototyping and learning from others. In addition, Converse said there is office space where about four or five startups are working to get their business ideas off the ground.
Converse, a former Apple employee who founded startups ClickCaster and Medioh before their acquisitions by other companies, opened TinkerMill one year ago almost to the day.
Already, the space has 93 members, with memberships costing $50 per month for individuals, $25 for students and $75 for families.
Converse said that, in addition to Feld, his Foundry Group business partner Seth Levine and associate Eugene Wan are both among TinkerMill's members.
"I did not expect things to ramp up so quickly," Converse said.

Indian Summer in the Upper Delaware Valley?
September 25, 2013 —
REGION — According to the 2014 edition of the Old Farmer's Almanac, many people refer to any period of warm weather in the fall as an example of Indian Summer. But, the Almanac says, there are other conditions that must also occur in order for a period of time to be accurately referred to Indian Summer.
The atmosphere should be "hazy or smoky," with clear, cold nights and little or no wind. Also "The time of occurrence is important: The warm days must follow a spell of cold weather or a good hard frost."
And most specifically of all, "The conditions described above must occur between St. Martin's Day (November 11) and November 20. For over 200 years, The Old Farmer's Almanac has adhered to the saying, 'If All Saints' (November 1) brings out winter, St. Martin's brings out Indian summer.'"
That may be so, but still the Indian Summer Festival in Milwaukee, WS was held in the first week of September this year, as was the Indian Summer Festival in Hertford, NC.
Also, the concept of Indian Summer, which almost everyone agrees was spawned in North America, has now moved across the Atlantic, and people in England and Ireland put that label on bouts of warm weather they experience in the fall.
Perhaps, though, not for long. This paragraph comes from an article in the on-line BBC News Magazine from the fall of 2011: "Autumn heat waves such as this are frequently dubbed 'Indian summers'. But in the last few years the term seems to have become slightly less popular, possibly as a consequence of political correctness in the U.S. Somehow, 'Native American summer' doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?"

Betemit was diagnosed with a Grade 2/3 posterior cruciate ligament tear and will stay in Sarasota, Fla., for a few weeks before starting a rehab program. He was told Monday night that the injury won't require surgery, and is better news than any injury to his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), which could have ended his 2013 season before it began.
"It felt like my legs, my bones, felt like I had broke everything," Betemit told reporters. "Then yesterday after they took me to the MRI, they told me it was my ligament in the back, everything is connected, but it's stretched too much. That's why I have to wear this [brace] so I can connect them back."

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Don't Build It and Profits Will Come
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Don't build it and the profits will come," Jim Cramer told his " "Mad Money" TV show viewers Tuesday as he explored one of the driving forces behind the market's new highs -- the law of supply and demand.
Cramer explained that when demand is rising and supply is woefully behind the curve, that translates into higher prices and higher profits for the companies that are able to participate. That's exactly what's happening in the home market, he said. Our country simply isn't building enough homes to meet the growing demand. The result? Higher home prices across the country and rising profits for the home builders and for any company that makes things that go into a home.
But there are also shortages in other sectors, Cramer said, such as the hotel sector. There haven't been any major hotels built since the financial crisis began, and that means more profits for all those that are currently standing. There are also shortages in the airlines, where there's rising demand for new planes, and in the rental car space, where the after-effects of Hurricane Sandy still strain supply.
All of this translates into high stock prices, said Cramer, just as it has for the oil refiners. Our country hasn't seen a new refinery built in 40 years, he said, meanwhile the U.S. is now producing more oil and gas than it has in decades.
Cramer said this non-growth does come at a cost, however, and that's with jobs. He said hiring wont't pick up until things get so good that companies are forced to hire again and are forced to begin building those new autos and planes and new hotels. But until then, it's "all systems go" for just about every stock in the aforementioned sectors.
Off the Charts
In the "Off The Charts" segment, Cramer tapped into the analysis of colleague Dan Fitzpatrick to examine the chart of Diana Shipping
Using a weekly chart of Diana, Fitzpatrick noted the stock have been trending lower since 2008, using its 40-week moving average as its ceiling of resistance. That trend finally came to an end in July of last year, when the stock displayed a Doji reversal pattern of volatile trading. But then, on Jan. 2, Diana's stock finally crossed above the 40-week ceiling and immediately shot up 17% in a single week on strong volume.

How long should it take to see an increase in supply if I'm pumping more frequently? A day? A week?
I pump almost exclusively because the lo (2.5 months) is not very efficient and I don't think I can make enough milk. I'm trying to pump every three hours but it seems like I only get smaller amounts that are equivalent to pumping less often. I've tried most everything and I will still pump to give him what I can, but I was hoping I could make more. I had a breast lift surgery a while back and things are different breastfeeding this time as opposed to the first two. I've never leaked and even when my milk came in I wasn't that full.

International Upset? Or enjoyable shock?
Did any of you really think that the Netherlands would even win one game? I'll be completely honest with you– I didn't. I thought that teams would walk all over them– especially the Dominican. You know, the team with all the All-Stars?

You're so lucky that you're going to all those games! Pix, please. And don't forget to tell us which players you yelled at and who yelled back to you.🙂
Jane: Lol you know that I will🙂
I am secretly cheering for the Netherlands to win everything. That way Mark DeRosa can come back to Goodyear and get over the flu (he is sick). I am being very selfish but at the same time I think unselfish. The Netherlands winning would be good for the whole sport not just the US. Now I will be cheering for the US but if the Netherlands beats them and goes to the Final Four I won't be too sad.
Congrats on your ranking!
A spring training game AND a WBC game – what a weekend you have coming up! Write all about it so we can live vicariously through you!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I am envious of your weekend! It should be very enjoyable! It will be fun to hear your updates. Enjoy!
Have a great time Elizabeth! And I couldn't even believe that Netherlands/Dominican Republic game!!! Oh man!!! 11 innings, two outs, and a full count later, who would've thought?
Melissa: Thanks! And I think it would be really interesting and incredible to see the Netherlands win.
Sue: I love that word vicariously. I will take lots of pictures and notes🙂
Scott: Sometimes it pays to live in Florida!
Emily: It must have been so exciting! I wish I could have seen it!
Elizabeth,Your analysis of the Dutch upset is pretty spot-on. I too think they are a little more lucky than good, though they do have some very good pitching. Although I would love to see them win it all, I doubt they are going to make it any farther. Have fun at the WBC game, it should be a good one!
The Netherlands win was very interesting! And seriously, I have never heard of any of those guys in the lineup! Great anaylsis! I am so glad that you get to go to some games this weekend! Have lots of fun! That's great that Beckett got some good innings in! I hope he does much better this season!
I know, who imagined the Netherlands was hiding all that secret talent?? And the DR does seem to have an advantage with all those big guns….but ya never know. :O)
Erin: I agree, I think it was a lot of luck, and the overconfidence of the DR team. I can't see them making it any further. Thanks, I'm hoping to see a great game!!
Kaybee: Me too! And from reports thus far, it sounds like he will.
Jenn: Exactly, you never know!!
Jansen is so great, I wish he didn't play for Them…if only!
I don't think Randy Johnson is mean exactly, he is just bad-tempered and angry most of the time. He isn't a bad guy, though…although I never thought of Lincecum as the ask-for-help guy, maybe one of the other young guys will need it. If you asked the right way, RJ would give help…
Go Nederlands! At the time of my comment, the Red Sox are beating the dreaded Yanks 8-4. Congrats!
Caroline: Jansen is really good, I might put him on my fantasy team!
Aaron: They looked pretty good out there. although Wakefield was a bit shaky.
Have fun at those games! I, too, am a bit nervous for our draft, considering I have never ever done this. But I think we should all be OK…we all know who's good and who isn't.
Hy, Elizabeth, it was cool having you blog with us on Brownie Points during the game. I hope you get the opportunity to do so again sometime!
During the game, I asked about your paper, when Julia interrupted before you could answer. How did you do? (If you posted your result elsewhere, I'm happy to read your answer there. Otherwise, I'd love to know, and I can check here, or you can post on Brownie Points. Thanks, take care, and GO SOX!🙂
P.S.–no hurry to respond, but when you get the chance (you know, in between important stuff, like blogging!🙂 Take care, and have fun at the game!
Sure King Gregory, blame me for interrupting! lol! I hope you have a great time at the game!
You have to hope Buccholz gets back and good, listen to Varitek!!!! And you don't know who Randall Simon is?
That would be great for the Netherlands to win the World Baseball Classic, especially since they barely have any major leaguers, and no all-stars. But, somehow, they have been able to hold off teams with big names by a run or two, and have been producing runs without the long ball.
Jen: I think we did okay, right?
Greg: I have yet to get it back, but I'll be sure to let you guys know!
Babu: Small ball is great isn't it?
read your blog a lot, and besides the fact that youre absolutely gorgeous, youre a sox fan. we're meant for each other. honestly.
but more to the point, we gotta get it going for this season. i was wondering what your thoughts are about moving jacoby to left. can mike cameron be an everyday player? personally, i think we should move reddick to left and keep jacoby in center, but thats just me. reddick got enough time last year to know what he is doing. just me.
youre still pretty. and GO SOX

Otherwise, they have the same hard, dark bodies that beetles do, and go through the same sort of life stages. Examples are the black vine weevil, the boll weevil, and the grain weevil.

Nicki Minaj Shows Off Her Bumpin' Booty In A Tight, Black Lace Dress
The TCA Winter Press tour is always chock full of celebrities. The Fox network held its all-star party at the Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa in Pasadena, Calif., and new "American Idol" judge Nicki Minaj showed off her curvy figure in a tight black lace dress.
The hip hop star's co-judge and frenemy Mariah Carey did not attend the event.
Minaj has admitted she was reluctant to join "American Idol" because she feared becoming too famous. She recently told the Hollywood Reporter, "Sometimes you are afraid of being too famous because it's almost, like, is that even cool? Being that accessible, someone you see on TV every week? I never pictured myself as that type of person. I'm still surprised that I decided to do it."
Perhaps money had something to do with it. Carey reportedly negotiated an $18 million contract, and we're certain Minaj's pay is somewhere in that range.
Season 12 kicks off on Wednesday, Jan. 16. Keith Urban and Randy Jackson are also judging the competition.

At the time of rental, Thrifty offers for purchase at the option of the rentee, Loss Damage Waiver ("LDW"), Personal Protection Plan ("PPP"), Protection Plus ("PP"), Personal Accident Insurance ("PAI"), Personal Effects Insurance ("PEI") and Supplemental Liability Insurance ("SLI"). The cost, coverage, provider and availability vary by location, vehicle category and rate. Please refer to the Terms & Conditions for the specific location to determine whether SLI is required for travel into Canada and the cost of such coverage.
The optional products offered by the rental company may duplicate coverage provided by your personal automobile insurance or insurance you may have through another source. Purchase of optional products is not required to rent the vehicle. Seperate brochures available at the rental location summarize the optional products.
You are absolutely liable for any third party claims for bodily injury, including death, and property damage resulting from an automobile accident in the Thrifty vehicle during the rental period.
However, to protect yourself against this liability, you may purchase Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI), where available.
If accepted, SLI provides the renter or any additional authorized driver listed in the rental agreement (excluding the renter's and any additional authorized driver's family members related by blood, marriage or adoption and any other person residing with the renter or additional driver), with automobile liability coverage against third party claims for bodily injury, including death, and property damage resulting from an automobile accident in the Thrifty vehicle, during the rental period, in excess of the coverage provided under the rental agreement up to a maximum protection of $1,000,000 combined single limit (CSL) per occurrence.
The availability, cost and coverage can vary from location to location depending on the program details. Check with the rental location for details of their program. SLI does not provide coverage for uninsured and underinsured motorist protection except in New York. SLI does not apply in Mexico.
Unless you choose the prepaid fuel option at the beginning of the rental, you must refill the gas tank of the vehicle within a 10-mile radius of the rental return facility and present a fuel receipt to avoid a refueling charge.
If you choose the prepaid fuel option, you agree to pay a specified charge as set forth in the rental agreement and you have no obligation to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel. At most Thrifty locations, the prepaid fuel charge is calculated by multiplying the stated rate per gallon charge in the Agreement by the manufacturer's fuel tank capacity for the vehicle. There is no credit or refund given for any fuel in the tank at the end of the rental.
If you do not choose the prepaid fuel option and you do not return the vehicle with a full tank of gas, you will be required to pay a fuel charge to compensate Thrifty for refueling the vehicle. The fuel charge is based on the estimated number of gallons needed to refill the tank multiplied by the rate per gallon specified in the rental agreement.
Most Thrifty locations estimate the number of gallons needed to refill the gas tank either (1) by reading the fuel gauge to estimate the approximate amount of fuel needed to refill the tank (for example, one-half tank) and multiplying that number by the manufacturer's specified fuel tank capacity, or (2) if the renter did not purchase any fuel during the rental, by reading the odometer to determine the amount of miles driven during the rental and dividing that number by the vehicle's estimated average fuel efficiency (miles per gallon) based on the manufacturer's fuel efficiency specifications.

I've read a lot about BLS both on this forum and around the web but...still it's not clear to me if I have to do little pieces of food or french fries shaped food or big as baby's fist food!
my LO is going to be 6 mos in a couple of weeks,he sits quite well by now and has interest in food,I'm just concerned because I see him when he plays with his toys he open his mouth veeeery wide and chomps teething rings like crazy so I'm afraid he could choke.
once he put a teether so deep in his mouth that it nearly got stuck!I always watch him very closely when he's got things around cos he wants to eat EVERYTHING!!
any advice?

Amare and Melo would mean two offensive "black holes" controlling the entire future of the team. Neither one is a great defender, rebounder or most glaringly, passer.
Walton recognizes this.
Bill Walton was on the Michael Kay show. He loves what Lebron did. Loves Amar'e but thinks he's a Robin than a Batman. But loves the guy a lot. But will bite his tongue on Melo.
Now I know Melo can be a ball hog. But when I saw him go against Lebron last year I was even more sold on him. But he has to pass. I good point guard can make Amar'e and Melo work.
Melo is a great closer. And in my opinion point guards and big men don't make the greatest closers.
Amare and Melo would mean two offensive "black holes" controlling the entire future of the team. Neither one is a great defender, rebounder or most glaringly, passer.
Walton recognizes this.
I could care less if they arent great passers or rebounders, thats what role players are for. You cant expect a perfect basketball player who does everything.
A frontcourt of Amare and Carmelo would average a combined 4 assists per game, while controlling the ball the entire game, at a combined cost of $40+ million per year.
In a hard cap world.
If you don't recognize that that is a serious impediment to winning an NBA championship, maybe you just have to look up the word impediment.
They said Kobe was a ball hog, and still is at a point. But he has 5 rings. They will learn. Its all about the coaching. If Chris Paul does come through than than the issues of passing wont be a problem. CP3 would control. But we're just speaking on hypotheticals here.
Big men don't make great closers?
Kareem and Wilt?
Great players make great closers.
There are great closers at every position.
The Knicks need better D, better rebounding and better players period.
I don't think D'Antoni stresses D nearly enough which was the culture of the Knicks back in their glory days.
Shaq, KG, Duncan, need kobe, Ray/Pierce, Ginobli respectively.
When you see game winning shots and burst of points in final minutes of a game it Kobe, Wade, Melo type players. Lebron can score but not close. And I'm talk fron 2nd round playoffs and up.
A great closer is a scorer, just him doing his thing to get the bucket. He would be about 6'5" to 6'8" and the ability to create his own shot. There is always an exception to a rule, (Dirk Nowitzki).
STAT seems comitted to defense. Ronnie and Tony as well, Wilson and Fields too and Felton. Gallo had a great rebounding second half. I think this team will be on the low side on decent defensive team and that is 100 times better than last years group.
But I will stick with my opinion. PGs and Big men may hit big shots and they can be good closers but I think the greatest closers are the wing players.
You are too young to remember most of the greatest players of all time.
Give the ball to the logo Jerry West and you will see Mr. Clutch.
You can stick with your opinion but it is flawed at the very best.
Wilt was an unbelievable athlete and could close better than anyone. If he played today he might be even better. He was the most dominant player ever.
If you are talking one on one basketball then Oscar Robertson was as scary a matchup as there is as a PG.
Bill Walton before he got hurt was a great closer.
I think you are just in love with slashers!
I loved how he said Melo wasn't in the same league as a legit #1 top-dog star like Kobe Bryant.
Where were the Lakers when the 2005 playoffs tipped off? That's right, nowhere to be found.
Kobe is a great player. A HOF closer and scorer. But Kobe doesn't make players around him better and KOBE HAS WON NOTHING when he wasn't complimented with another All-Star center.
Without a HOF center, Kobe was a 1 and done, first round exit player. Led his team to nada... Made nobody better. He even quit in a game 7 b/c he's immature.
Sure, Kobe has 5 rings.... But, not one ring came without Shaq or Gasol. Basically, Kobe needed the BEST CENTER in the NBA at the time in order to win.
Let's see what happens if Kobe plays with JR Smith and Kenyon Martin, and put Carmelo on a team with Shaq or Gasol.
Carmelo carried Syracuse to a title AS A FRESHMAN. The dude is a winner. BUT, like Kobe he's an offensive savant. A scorer. He's not Magic or Lebron.
Put Carmelo with Stoudemire and find out how much of a top dog he really is.
Screw you Walton. Go smoke some more dope.
Closer is some one who can single handedly takeover in the end. In the era you're talking about There was no Point Guards per say, or Small or power forward. Just Guards forwards and center. With each position given a definition or style of play (for better or worse) The game has changed. It crazy that back then PGs and SGs were comparable but today there is virtually no difference b/t SGs and SFs.
**Closing minutes, down by a few, who do you want to have the ball? Just list the players in today's NBA to answer that question.
Back then different types of players.
All the more reason to wait and sign Melo in the offseason and ADD him to the current roster and surround the two stars with a deep, complimentary roster.
That is how the Knicks will win a championship. Trade everybody for Melo now and eliminate our depth, flexibility, assets and draft picks, and any chance of ever winning a championship.
All time who would I want to have the ball:
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Jerry West
Oscar Robertson
Michael Jordan
Magic Johnson
Larry Bird
Walt Frazier
Kobe Bryant
Julius Erving
Lebron James
Reggie Miller
Here is an interesting link that puts Lebron first. All of them though only hit on .295 of them not a good percentage.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Vince Carter clutch? the man has no heart or desire. Him over Kobe invalidates that article.
