If we end all those listed games at .500 it would be a bigtime coup. Even 2games sub-500 wouldn't be a disaster. But 500, let alone better, would really show whether we are legit and have some staying power as a playoff team this season.
We really need some wins over the next few games. November's remaining games should be victories. A loss in either will be an upset and have us dropping out of the 8.
Sun, Nov 28 @ Detroit 1:30 PM
Tue, Nov 30 New Jersey 7:30 PM
Then, as December kicks off, we have a reasonably easy schedule bar New Orleans - who I think we can beat anyway.
Fri, Dec 3 @ New Orleans
Sun, Dec 5 @ Toronto
Mon, Dec 6 Minnesota
Wed, Dec 8 Toronto
Fri, Dec 10 @ Washington
On Dec 12, however, the schedule hits a bastard streak as we face:
Denver, Boston, Miami, Cleveland, OKC, Chicago, Miami again and Orlando in succession.
Then it's Indiana at home - these boys will be hanging around 7th and 8th spots with us all year - and we have to beat them.
Then Spurs at home. Good luck to us there, they're looking top notch this year.
Then it's the West Coast road trip that Satan made:
Phoenix, Lakers, Portland, Utah.
The next 7 games in these 12 days are massive for NY. We need, at the very least, a 5 & 2 result.
If we end all those listed games at .500 it would be a bigtime coup. Even 2games sub-500 wouldn't be a disaster. But 500, let alone better, would really show whether we are legit and have some staying power as a playoff team this season.
NONE of those teams are to be taken lightly. The Pistons haven't been doing bad. We must play every game with the highest intensity.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
i agree we need 5 & 2 at the worst so that way we could give ourselves some room for error -if you wanna call it that- vs the upper elite teams. BUT what is working in our favor is that were facing most of those elite teams at home( even though were looking like **** at home ) so that might give us that 6th man to help will us to a win ( even though it hasnt been working so far )
6-1 is looking expectable, but ima go with 5-2
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I agree. After we returned from the West Coast, I felt we had a 10-game stretch to determine the fate 9and course) of the rest of the season. I felt we had to go 7-3. So far we are 3-1.
After this stretch.... NYK will have played 24 games. Then the schedule gets hard, as we would have already played the easiest part of our schedule (not to mention playing 2 of 3 against CHA, whom we might battle for 8th spot).
Knicks need to be a few games above .500 b/c we might be looking at a 8-17 stretch or something coming after after this.
BUT, if we got above .500 and gained some confidence, maybe this helps us win a few closely contested games against CLE, MIA, BOS and whatnot.
We'll see.
I still sense this being a 33-37 win team. I believe we need to get to 38+ to make the playoffs.
I think a lot depends on Turiaf, but the catch-22 is if we rely on him too heavily.... GULP!
It'll be interesting to see if any moves are coming. Will Azu return and give us anything?
I think 33-37 isn't unreasonable. Anything less than 33 is a bit rich.
We need to find ourselves a supporting 5. The Gov is struggling, badly.
Ronnie's basically a night on, night off guy ATM.
I still think that not offering Earl Barron vet minimum was a bad call. Instead we add Rautins to the roster with Azubuike coming back. Ridiculous.
I still refuse to give Curry any leniency -
Our problem now is any serviceable big men we'll have to trade for, barring a huge diamond in rough.
And trading doesn't make much sense since we don't have the urgency of being true contenders this season, and we'll likely go hard after M.Gasol this oseason as an outright signing.
Too bad Dalembert is so poisonous. Could potentially have traded for Iggy and they'd have rejoiced in sending him too.
Hmm. Could we still...Not sure just how bad that contract is. Or if we can truly sign Melody and Gasoline (I think we can). In which case, we must sit the F tight and make that happen.
Earl Barron had 4 pts, 7 rebs and 1 block in 10 minutes. We could have defintely used him. But I think everyone was expecting a lot more from Randolph at the beginning of the season. I know I sure didn't expect a bunch of DNPs. Hopefully he can come around soon. Turiaf was out 40 games last year so who knows how reliable he will be.
We could have picked T-Mac up over Roger for a cool mil, grabbed Barron for the Minimum over Shawne Williams, and those would be some significant upgrades to the roster.
Also the Schedule is really easy and then gets Really Hard.
We can beat Toronto, Minny, Washington, and NJ.
Indiana, Cleveland, Chicago, Portland, Phionex, Denver and Boston are 50-50 win lose.
the real challenges are New Orleans, Miami, Utah, OKC, and of course, San Antonio and LA.
We need to make sure we beat Toronto, NJ, and Minny and beat them GOOD. Make examplesw out of them, tear them APART! Dunk on Hoepez! break Bargnani's Clavical! Shove our orange shoes up Kevin Love's ass!
The Knicks were fortunate to get a soft schedule in the beginning. They can score but their Defense (100 points per game) is not going to make it easy to win over these teams. If they keep letting weak teams score so many points, we will just be in for a rude awakening...instead of enjoying the dream.
Amen, Brother...And without Turiaff, its going to be even tougher holding these guys around 100...This kinda falls right on Dantoni's game plan though. I wouldn't be surprised to see him try to implement his run/gun more so with Turiaff injured. He'll have to get us to score around 110-120 a night
Big test for our knicks once dec. 12th hits. If they stay above 500 after the west coast trip... we're the real deal. Interesting to see if this team can come up with a few upsets
Orange and blue, yesterday, today, and tomorrow...
i think were gonna surprise a few people once that mid-december stretch hits, were going to fair better then most people are expecting.
Denver is definitely beatable, considering we almost won at their house. Chicago we could take, and were going to be amped up for that game. Cleveland beatable, and so is OKC
im go ahead and say this:
perhaps im being optimistic but this is the way i see it playing out

This married A list mostly television actor from a hit network show was furiously texting his married A list co-star while ignoring calls from his wife that she was making to his assistant
. This was just prior to an interview the actor gave.
Scandal actor and Kerry Washington.ReplyCancel
sincerely, nice. I like ur guessReplyCancel
tony goldwynReplyCancel
Tony is not A list. Also kerry is a lesbian.ReplyCancel
there are many good reasons for ignoring a mate while trying to contact a co-worker especially if u are working.
i really dont see the scandal here.ReplyCancel
"Furiously" texting?ReplyCancel
Bwahahaha. -good 1.ReplyCancel
@jackducky, oh ok..never watch show, I just know him from "GHOST".Didnt know she was a lesbian either.i gotta get out moreReplyCancel
@rolotomassi. Spank u very much.
It's hard, it seems there's so few, if any, current network shows with A listers.ReplyCancel
What about McDreamy, Payrick Dempsy, and a co star?ReplyCancel
Well it's not confirmed she's gay. She is married to a man and just had a baby but rumors have been circulating for years about her. Also I just wouldn't consider Tony A even though scandal is a hit kerry is the only A lister on the show I think.ReplyCancel
Now Kerry is Gay.. Everybody gay now. Who's Straight?ReplyCancel
Apparently no one in Hwood is straight boo.ReplyCancel
Scandal is a fantastic show, but I wonder about all the drama on that set. First, Desmond leaves. That pissed me off bc he character was likeable. Then this whole Columbus business. Olivia Pope and her mannerisms are driving me InSANE! I can't take much more. Unless they add some likeable characters (sexy men), I'll be peacing out next season.ReplyCancel
Ones sexual orientation depends on tbe gender of the production's decision makers.ReplyCancel
Tony Goldwyn has been promoting his lifetime movie about Warren Jeffrey all this week. He's probably trying to check on his baby. .Her baby. .hum hum
I don't think Kerry is a lesbian
I'm still on board with the Tony and Kerry affair
They have too much sexual tension to not be fucking
But I'm over Scandal – Olivia acts like such a dumbass over Fitz and its lameReplyCancel
I was thinking Dempsey.ReplyCancel
They have too much sexual tension? Seriously? What show are you watching?ReplyCancel
I haven't watched it awhile – like two seasons or soReplyCancel
@Sincerely, that's known as being ambitiosexual.ReplyCancel
What about Joey lawrence and melissa Joan hart?ReplyCancel
Network show leaves out MattM unless HBO is considered a network.
I don't know why people insist that Kerry Washington is gay when there is no reason to think that at all. She just had a child. Whose it is is up for discussion.
If his wife is calling his assistant to reach the A lister there is trouble in that marriage. If I'm the wife I'm calling you and you'd better answer.ReplyCancel

We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience with your Bushcrafter Pack. Please contact our customer service team at: [email protected] or call 1-800-777-4439, we would be more than happy to discuss repairing your pack for you. Thank you for your feedback! (Posted on 4/1/2012)
- Get rid of the nylon please! Review by Waiting
Thank you for your feedback! The reason we opted for nylon side cinch straps is because with the nylon, you can get a nice tight fit, significantly more so than using a leather strap with a roller buckle. If you'd like, we can custom make our Bushcrafter Pack with the leather cinch straps on the side. Please call our Customer Service Department if you are interested (1-800-777-4439).

- Lost with the perfect pack Review by Dale
- Surprisingly comfortable, and holds everything Review by Mary
- Great Pack Review by Drifter
When I loaded it up and put it on I was just flabbergasted at the fit. The padded shoulder straps are just the right length so they don't cut into your arm. No fancy S shapes are needed. It's a big pack but the compression straps make it easy to adjust the volume. And you get to walk standing straight up. It's kinda spendy but well worth the price. Now if I can just live long enough to wear in out. :) (Posted on 11/3/2010)
- great pack! Review by Mic
- 100 % POSITIVE, GET THIS PACK! Review by Kahuana
Like many bushcraft practioners, I am always on the lookout for practical, durable gear. I own several backpacks, but they are either too large or too small. As mentioned in an earlier post, recently my outings are 2-3 days usually 2-3 miles into the woods, so I'm not looking for aerospace suspension and superultra light weight materials. I need a tough, practical mid-size pack. I was also gravitating towards traditional materials like a Duluth type pack. I've grown tired of mil-spec OD green and SWAT black nylon.
Enter the Duluth Bushcrafter. I emailed Mike Lummio and he gave me some details about the pack. Based on his recommendation, I placed an order. Found out that the base price of $370.00 went up to $395.00 in waxed canvas. I was going on a canoe trip in Maine and thought this could be the pack.
A few days later, I received a call from Molly at Duluth who advised me that I was the first person to order this new pack. I told Molly when I needed the pack by and she assured me they would try to make the deadline as the packs are made one at a time.
The pack arrived 3 days prior to my departure date which gave time to play. First impressions;
Very heavy duty 18 oz. waxed canvas. Straps are leather and securely stitched and also heavy duty. Side compression starps , nylon with fastex type buckles. Weight on my digital fish scale 4 pounds, 9 ounces. The capacity is listed as between 3900 and 4200 cubic inches.
I like the two front pockets with sleeves behind for a folding saw or similar items. An axe sleeve which I like as axes are sometimes hard to pack and secure. On this pack just slip it into the sleeve and it's secure and protected. I packed the pack for my trip. It carried sleeping bag, pad, tent and poles, tarp, clothes, all tools, water and cooking gear. I didn't line the pack with plastic as I wanted to test the water repellency of the waxed canvas. All items were in waterproof stuff sacks as a precaution.
The pack carries well even with upwards of 40 pounds of weight. Tha padded leather and canvas which feel great. The hip belt also helps stabilize the load.
How did it perform?
The pack did great!! When placed in the canoe, it was wet from rain and river water, yet didn't absorb much. No water was transferred into the pack. On portages, it carried very confortably compared to traditional canoe packs. I was never in fear of damage when it was placed on the wet, muddy ground. Though dirty and used, it gained character and has more of that "just belongs" look of Duluth products. For me personally, this pack fills a void in my equipment allowing flexibility for many outings from overnight to longer trips. This is my new favorite go to pack.
Hats off to Mike Lummio and Duluth Pack.

Tough winter for sugarmakersJanuary 06,2014
A good time at Christmas for me used to mean things like little tin horns and little toy drums with maybe a fast sled thrown in. Ive reached a point in my maturity, however, when Im glad to simply count my blessings like the big one that recently occurred right here in our Morse microcosm. Similar to January 1998, we were spared the terrible ice storm that nature has spewed all over the East.
It started a few days before Christmas when those folks we all love to hate, Mother Natures gremlins, the meteorologists, began harping on an approaching ice storm. The trouble is, things have changed from the old days of bguess and bgory. Today these guys have an arsenal of satellites, Doppler radars, and electronic crystal balls half as high as the stratocumulus; they no longer speculate; they know.
After our collective, Cmon you freaking Grinches, we all flocked to hardware stores like chickens into a corner, buying out everything from flashlight batteries to expensive generators. We knew what was coming, and here in Vermont, there was nobody more nervous than us maple sugarmakers. Maple sugarmakers face more than just a household without electricity or running water our entire existence stands in the balance.
Maple trees are fickle, you know. Were all quite familiar with their sweet side and, when it comes to great quality hardwood for furniture or fires, theyre very dense and strong. Ironically, though, with hurricanes or ice storms, they fold like a cheap suit. Back in the days of my youth, our only investment in them was the cost of owning them, enough buckets, covers, and spouts to fit them with, and a sugarbush full of labor in early March. These days, however, our investment in those trees has grown exponentially with miles of plastic tubing, mainline, and thousands of specialized fittings. This stuff adds up to more than $12 per tree, lives in the woods year-round, and can all be rendered landfill material in minutes when Mother Nature takes down twigs, limbs and even whole trees.
The day after this recent ice storm, I needed some syrup jugs from our nearest maple supply place in Morrisville. I drove my favorite way, up County Road, turning left at Maple Corner, and on to Worcester Village. Just north of Worcester, only 10 miles from our farm, the whole scene changed to a crystalline Robert Frost world with all the birch trees bowing earthward. The further I drove, other bowing trees joined the birches, poplars, ash and maples. In another world this would have been beautiful but in my mind, I could only think of one thing: my fellow sugarmakers are in trouble.
When I arrived at CDL Maple Supply, this bleak atmosphere followed me right into the building. The attendant was engaged in a phone conversation which, I knew, even from my one-sided perspective, had a sad tenor. When he got done, he shook his head and said, Guy was from up in Belvidere ... just put up a brand new system ... lost everything.
I look out at our January world as I finish writing. Its cold below zero cold. Our trees wear a thin coat of dry snow, not enough to bow them over. If I was out there, Id hear an occasional crack similar to a gunshot. When it gets this cold, trees frozen on the inside will do that, and thats a good sound of a Vermont winter at work. The sound of limbs and trees splintering and crashing down from a coating of ice on the outside, though, is the bad sound of winter at work.
And speaking of work, itll be grueling for many northern Vermont maple sugarmakers in the two months ahead. Although counting my blessings that we didnt get ice here doesnt diminish my concern for those guys, I know theyll get the job done. Got to, after all in sugarin time, theres nothing but the good sounds of Vermont maples showing their sweet side.

This is the home device that safely and painlessly smooths and tightens dimpled skin caused by cellulite. Developed in France after 20 years of engineering research, the unit's motorized rollers use gentle suction and massaging pulsations to stimulate fat metabolism. This activates lipolysis—the natural breakdown of fat cells—and boosts the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that contribute to elasticity. After six minutes of use four times a week, skin appears firmer and smoother, without the expense and hassle of repeat visits to an esthetician. Ideal for use on the thighs and buttocks, the device includes five detachable heads of different widths for smoothing and tightening skin elsewhere on the body, including the delicate areas around the eyelid, lip, and neck. Plugs into AC. Includes five treatment heads, cleaning wipes, and 20 replacement filters. 14" x 10" x 9". (16 lbs.)

Your Favorite Films
|vintage developed film packing
A few weeks ago we had a post on a few different negative film options. It was a pretty popular topic and so I asked a bunch of our social media followers what their favorite films types were. Since we often get questions about what types of film people should use (especially from those just starting out in film), we thought it might be nice to share the list of everyone's favorites to help give some of you a starting point, or to introduce a few new types to those looking to try something different.
The top films (in different speeds) according to your answers are: Kodak Portra, Kodak Tri-X, and Fuji Velvia.
|vintage developed film packing
And here's what everyone was saying about their favorite films...
BW - Kodak TRI-X, Color - Kodak Portra 160 and 400.
B&W- I love Fuji Neopan Acros 100 and Kodak Tri-X 400. For color- I'm partial to Kodak Portra 400 or Ektar 100.
Fuji Velvia 50, Fuji Provia 400, Kodak Portra all kinds, Kodak T-Max 100, Fomapan 100.
Portra 400 or Fuji 400h Such fantastic colors.
For color, anything Kodak. For B&W, anything Ilford.
My favorites depend on application...
Fuji Superia 400 is a good all around film, and if I'm not shooting an event my camera is likely to be loaded with Superia 400. I like Fuji Pro 400H (or Pro160) for portraits. I like Kodak Ektar 100 for landscapes and nature. The grain is very fine (not quite Velvia fine, but slide films are another thing).
Might be one of the few, but Walgreens cheapo brand film, 200 speed. It may be repackaged Fuji, not sure, but it's well saturated, and warm toned. Hard to find recently, as everyone's doing away w/film.
Cheap Fuji Superia 200.
Portra 400.
I really miss shooting Polaroid Time Zero film in my SX-70. What a fun and beautiful camera that was.
Kodak Double X and Tri X are my favorites followed by Tmax 100 and cheap Fuji 200.
Portra VC 400...Portra 800 & Kodak UC.....also ... Ektachrome E100VS.
T-max 3200, pushed to 6400; shot w/ a 28mm lens. I love grits!
HPS+ Kodak IR (nearly extinct).
Ektar 100 or portra 400 .
HP5 for B/W & Portra 400 for color.
It's been a long time but Velvia 50 rules. I still have some in my freezer!
Why Velvia 50 of course!
I agree with the Fuji velvia 50 sentiment.
Tri-x, Delta 3200.
I used to shoot loads of that Chinese Lucky Branded film in 100, stand developed in Rodinal, the lack of an anti-halation layer made for some interesting results. Once you got the hang of exploiting this, you could get some cool effects when shot with older lenses. I also liked Tri-X because you can abuse the hell out of it and get usable images. Also Efke 25, because I love the look of it developed in both D-76 or Rodinal.
Ektachrome 100VS and G, Portra 160 and Reala 100F (still miss Kodachrome 64!).
Velvia 50 along with Provia 100.
Fujifilm Acros 100 developed in Kodak HC-110. Talk about sharp, crisp edges and fantastic contrasts and tones.
Velvia, Provia, Sensia. Just like Fuji`s slides, but I won`t turn down any other film.
Fuji 160C in 220 (or even 120 for that matter) is my favorite, but it might be extinct. Fuji is very secretive about it and has not released an official statement. It would be great if you carried film stock.
Fave films (still in prod, in order): Fuji Neopan Acros, Tri-X400, Efke R25.
Kodak Tmax 100 and 400, but Tri-x with R09 developer is a killer combo. Also Ilford Panf+ and 3200 Delta. I have been loving the R09 developer for all of the films.

Jim Bunning
Starting Pitcher
1964-1967, 1970-1971
Career w/Phillies: 1520.2 IP / 89-73 / 2.92 ERA / 1197 K
Four incredible seasons make Jim Bunning one of the greatest Phillies of all time. Let's see: ERAs of 2.63, 2.60, 2.41 and 2.29. Win totals of 19, 19, 19 and 17. Strikeout totals of 219, 268, 252 and 253. That's just dominant. Bunning came to the Phillies through a trade – at the time he was entering his 30s and had a tough 1963 with the Tigers. The Phils took a gamble on Bunning and came out victorious; the right-hander was in the NL top 10 in ERA, wins, strikeouts per nine innings, WHIP, hits per nine innings, shutouts, complete games and strikeouts every season during his first Phillie tenure. Hilariously, he led the league in hit batsmen every season, too. Because of his amazing consistency it's hard to pick a best season. Maybe that 1964 season, when he finished 19-8. Or 1965, when he struck out a career-high 268 batters. Or 1966, when he threw a career-high 314 innings yet kept his ERA below 2.50. Or is it 1967, when he slung a crazy-low 2.29 ERA? Back in that '64 season Bunning threw a Father's Day perfect game. Talk about beautiful moments. The Phils traded Bunning to Pittsburgh after 1967, getting Don Money in return. But Bunning would come back in 1970, going 10-15. He had one more season left in him, finishing with a brutal 5-12 record and 5.48 ERA. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1996, and his No. 14 is retired by the Phillies. Today Bunning is the junior senator in Kentucky, and while he's made his share of controversial comments, he'll always be a superb right-hander in our eyes.
Comment: Okay, so Bunning has a retired number and is a Hall of Famer. But brass tacks: He had just four great seasons with the Phillies. Sure, they were amazing seasons, but there were merely four of them. His final run in Philly actually stained his mark a tad. That all said, I think it's pretty appropriate Bunning is ranked where he is. And he is a living Phillies legend.

Bunning is the Jr. senator, not the senior FYI.
jim bunning was awesome. i lived and died with the 64 phils, bunnings first yr in the nl, i watched the whole perfect game, he won 19 games, i am pretty sure he lost 5 games 1 to 0.that was when ace pitched against ace . 24 wins might have won him the mvp, it would have put the phils in the world series. i think we got him from the tigers because he was a player rep. in the al. those guys didnt have agents back then, they did thier own negotiating, and you had to be prepared to get what was due to you.well deserving of the hof, did he go in as a phillie ? great father also, i think he had 10 or 12 children.
he's also one of america's five worst senators according to time magazine. he is reviled by both parties!
Excellent choice. He is a perfect example of how a short tenure can hurt quality seasons in these rankings.
also, jim bunning is the JUNIOR senator from kentucky, he has not served as long as mitch mcconnell. he is however, older than mitch mcconnell, which i guess is where u guys got mixed up.
bunning has only been a senator since 99 i think, so he's the junior.
Mitch McConnell is the senior senator. He's been in the Senate since 1984. Bunning's been in since '98.
Jim Bunning is the man both on the mound and in politics! He threw plenty of great games for the Phillies and he fought the tax and spend ways of the beltway. Bunning gets a gold star in my book.
ahhhh there goes my top 10
Bunning was indeed a great Phillie. And Tim, as usual displayed his potent pen in his write-up. HE DESERVES TO BE ON THIS LIST. One thing that blows my mind is that Louis Tiant, Jim Kaat, Tommy John, Mickey Lolich — are NOT in the HOF despite having more wins and better records. Perhaps Bunning's political pull helped put him over the top in the voting. Moreover, 'bikewobble' is correct about Bunning's ineptitude as a senator. A republican friend of mine from Kentucky (same party as Bunning) is actually ashamed of the man. Maybe we have too many Bunning-types in both houses and that is the cause of many of our problems. Sorry for the political commentary.
Bert Blyleven is another pitcher deserving HOF designation and was better than Bunning.
Blyleven will get there. He just is not a first balloter, or in this case a 5th balloter. He has a great shot at making it next year. Its not like bunning was elected on his first ballott
Bunning was in my top 10 because I was biased by my good fortune to have seen him pitch during his halcyon Philadelphia years from 1964 thru 1967. He threw one of the most picturesque curve balls I have ever seen. His deceptive sweeping delivery also featured a sneaky fast ball and a hard slider. All his pitches were thrown with pin point control. His American League and National League numbers are interestingly symmetrical and they are both outstanding. In both leagues he was an all star, and he won more than 100 games in each league. He also threw a no hitter in both leagues, one of only 5 pitchers to accomplish that feat. Can you name the other 4 quickly?
Despite his good control he consistently was among the leaders in hit batsmen for his entire career. This was no fluke. He had a reputation for being a very sore loser who would not hesitate to plunk the opposition after being light up. While pitching for Detroit in Baltimore early in his career, he was given the ignominious name "Buckles" Bunning because of his penchant to cut the ball with his belt buckle. Many of his current political enemies still use this name to antagonize him. Let us not forget his failure to become a Phillies manager because of his inability to establish a rapport with his players due to his overbearing personality. I think Jim believed Leo Durocher's statement that nice guys finish last.
Bunning's HOF induction speech was a good one. I was impressed with the recognition he gave to most of his former teammates, and when he mentioned that his best years were spent in a Phillies uniform. Did anyone count the number of Jim Bunnings who stood up when he asked his family to rise in the audience? The # 14 ranking is no disgrace.
I had him 9th. Damn.
No hitters in each league —- Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Hideo Nomo (and I think) David cone
I have to be a little critical on this one. Even if it was only four years, it was four great and defining years which helped trigger a resurgence of Phillies fever. He was a remarkable pitcher during a tremendous decade for Major League Baseball. I had him in my top ten. You have to look past just statistics. Bunning was the steady veteran for the coming of age youngsters that were the mid-sixties Phillies. Now, if I find out that Richie Allen isn't in the top ten……………………………………………….
Jeff, dont forget that his four good seasons were at the height of the last "dead ball" era resurgence of the sixties. the mound height was raised and the strike zone widened during his four year escapade.
Also, his era plus numbers of 132,134,148, and 149 are certainly respectable, they are not mindblowing. for comparison, cole hamels 3.01 era last year earned him a 145 era. in 2004, johan got a 2.61 spot for an incredible 182
Bunning also pitched only 6 of his 17 seasons with the Phils.
Compare him to Schilling (Phillies stats only, per mlb.com): Curt, in only 18 more starts as a Phillie, had 357 more Ks, 12 more wins, and only 4 fewer complete games, which is pretty remarkable with the status of relief pitchers now. Bunning beats Schilling, as a Phillie, in ERA (2.93 to 3.35) and shutouts (23 to 14). They are remarkable even in several categories, including WHIP (1.11 for Bunning, 1.12 for Schilling), Opponents BA (.287 for Bunning, .283 for Schilling), K/BB ratio (3.64 for Bunning, 3.74 for Schilling) and Hits per 9 (8.06 for Bunning, 7.83 for Schilling). Also, Bunning (and Short) led the Phils to a brink of a pennant in '64. Schilling led us to the Series in '93. I'm actually pleased to see Schilling ranked ahead of Bunning, slightly ahead I assume.
on the t v show cheers, theres a photo of a pitcher on the bar that was supposed to be sam may day malone, i am pretty sure it was jim bunnings follow through. can anyone confirm this ?
The photo in Cheers is actually of Jim Lonborg.
I will pay attention to Cheers the next time I see it on reruns (if it's even on air currently) to see if Bunning's photo is on the bar. I remember Bunning losing five or six 1-0 games in one of those years he won 19 games. I'm pretty sure it was NOT 1964.
Good ranking of Bunning here. Yes, he is remembered as a Phillie more than a Tiger (although very good in Detroit). I recall that he was not a good fielding pitcher because he "fell" off the mound after his delivery, a very dangerous position for a pitcher with hits back through the box.
We are in elite company now. Richie Allen, Curt Schilling, and of course the Mount Rushmore of Schmidt, Carlton, Ashburn, and Roberts.
… I will have to read more about Bunning's senatorial career. Interesting information on these posts.
Tiant, Kaat, Lolich and John shouldn't be HOFers. With luck, Blyleven won't make it either. In fact, Bunning shouldn't be there to serve as a basis of comparison. Again, this is what happens when you let good but not great players into the HOF; the standard gets lower and lower.
I like Memphis' post comparing Bunning with Schilling. Good work, and don't forget that Bunning was pitching with the higher mound so his stats would tend to be better. Schilling is a clear pick over Bunning.
Ah, the overrated Curt Schilling. Obviously, he is going to be overrated on this list, also. Before Tim even gets to him, go back and take a look at his stats. See how many years he was a Phillie and how many good years he had. Eight and a half seasons; 2 dominant years, 3 decent years, and 3 and a half mediocre to lousy years. As a Phillie, he is living off the 93 postseason. Bunning had more dominant years in relation to his Phillies tenure. Not even close. Schilling had his two 300 strikeout years and the 93 year. His name was cemented in Arizona and Boston. Bunning had his 4 big years, was traded, then came back to wind up his career. He was so revered that he was chosen to open the Vet even though Wise was their #1 pitcher.
Memphis & Jeff, You both presented very compelling arguments. One touting more the objective statistical achievements while the other emphasizing more the team value. Given the closeness of their Phillie numbers and the good probability that more fans could relate more to Bunning than to Schilling, I give my nod to Bunning ahead of Schilling.
I had Bunning higher because his number is retired and because he is in the Hall of Fame… there aren't too many Phillies with their numbers retired. I don't think that he deserves to be in the Hall but the fact that his number is retired says something about his body of work as a Phillie… I guess Schilling will be higher and I don't agree with that (hoping that he's not top 10). They are good to compare. Frankly, I thought that Bunning would be a lock for top 10 on your list (because he's one of the few Phillies in the HOF)… if I wasn't trying to match my list with yours, I wouldn't have had him in my personal top 10. I'm glad that people see it my way.
Schilling's "medicore to lousy" years?
'94: hurt, strike
'95: from mlb.com: was 4-0 with a 2.69 ERA through his first 9 starts before suffering his first loss in June, shut down 6 weeks later with shoulder surgery…was among the N.L. leaders in innings, strikeouts and average against
'96: from mlb.com: despite missing 6 weeks from previous season's surgery, he went on to lead the league with 8 complete games, including a pair of shutouts…finished 9-10 with a 3.19 ERA in 26 starts
'00: not a great half year before being traded, but his last start as a Phillie was a complete-game 3-hitter in a 4-1 win
My take is that Bunning was a good but not great pitcher before the mound was raised, made hay with the mound raised (the "Era of the Pitcher"), and then went right back to being good but not great after the mound was lowered… and Schilling pitched in the steroid era and also on some truly awful teams. So the stats, while even in many respects, actually favor Schilling. And he also pitched well in the clutch, when he had the chance too. Hard to fault him for performing well in the most important games, or for pitching well for other teams.
Not sure how Schilling is overrated. Personally, I think Bunning lives off the perfect game. And it's always puzzled me a little why his number is retired — it seems to be more about his popularity. Short even had a better ERA/ERA+ in '64.
Bunning had 4 great career years, no doubt, but you may want to give Schilling some more credit.
Great argument, Memphis…
I will admit that there's probably a huge bias against Schilling because of his personality and the fact that he lobbied so hard to leave this city. It's tough for us, as Phillies fans, to give Schilling "his due" while he's still pitching. Once he retires, maybe we all feel the same way you do. I think that Bunning is overrated… I said as much… but he's still in the Hall and his number is still retired. That has to count for something, right?
Raised mound? Take a look at the rosters in the National League from 1964 to 1968. I don't care how high the mound was or the size of the strike zone. You had to be a terrific pitcher to navigate through those lineups. Add to that , the fact that Bunning was usually up against Koufax, Drysdale, Marichal, Gibson, Simmons, Perry, Sadecki, Law, Veale, Cuellar, and in 1967, up and coming young guns Fergie Jenkins, Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton. The nineties did not present anything near this list of foes for Schilling.
And you can give me all the excuses you want for Schilling's mediocre years, but, there they are, to be considered in his Phillie body of work. The fact is, he didn't become the Curt Schilling we know until the two 300 K years. In 1993, although a 16 game winner, he was very inconsistent until the postseason where he was, indeed, spectacular. I remember a big game against the Cardinals when he was getting pummelled and Daulton had to go out to the mound and rip him a new rear end. And, also, his teammates hated him, and he was a shameless self-promoter who whined his way out of town.
No, sorry, Bunning should definitely be higher than Schilling on this list. He was #8 on mine.
Bunning over Schilling…. by far!
We just disagree, Jeff. I admit my view may be in the minority, but I regard Schilling as a warrior, not a whiner. That shutout right after the heart-wrenching 15-14 WS game was epic. But he isn't the "Curt Schilling we know" until '97 when he wins 17 of the Phils 68 wins that forgettable year (you want to talk about importance to a team, he WAS the team)? How many does he win if we're good at all? And he cements his legacy with other teams, even though Bunning was a 5-time All-star in 9 years with Detroit? Frankly, I feel that Rolen and Schilling speaking out pushed a then-listless organization to finally start to take some action around 2000 (bringing in Thome in 2003, for example), though it can be debated if they truly took action or just got lucky with Rollins, Utley, Howard, Hamels, etc. I never blamed them for speaking out. As opposed to someone like Abreu who was happy to hit .300 even though we'd lose 80 games.
Chuck P — The retired 14 and HOF count for a lot, absolutely, though I was a little surprised by the retired number, considering numbers that are not retired (and, like Klein, names that are not "retired" like Delahanty, Hamilton, Thompson, Magee). I'm not arguing against Bunning's placement at 14, not at all. When filling out my Top 10, I looked at the 10 HOF guys and at career numbers as a Phillie (where Short, Ennis, Magee tend to stand out), not just 4-5 great years, and I was actually VERY surprised to see Bunning and Schilling as even as they were. On that basis, I took Bunnng out of my Top 10 and gave Schill the slight edge based partly on the fact that he played longer as a Phillie and in a hitter friendly era. Even so, I would put Bunning ahead of Abreu and slightly ahead of Allen. I would also have put Ennis and Short higher than they were ranked, but again my bias was for career numbers as a Phillie.
This list is great for debates and (for me) just learning more about Phillies history.
Yeah, I didn' want to come off as argumentative, but I saw both pitch. I don't know if you did. Bunning was a true professional, nasty pitcher with a chip on his shoulder. During those four years with the Phils he was dominant. I just feel his Phillies excellence was more sustained. He should have been in the Hall a lot sooner than he was. Take a look at Catfish Hunter's numbers. They are almost identical, in fact, Bunning's might be better. Yet Hunter went in right away
As far as Rolen and Schilling whining the Phils into active spending. Everybody knows that was more a product of Citizens Bank Park. The Phils couldn't do much while tied to the losing situation that was Veterans Stadium..
Bunning was the hardest for me to rank… I understand both sides of the argument.
Hey, it's cool, it's a good debate. Knowing there were only 7 retired Phillies, my first assumption was Bunning would be in the Top 7. But we're gonna have 5 guys in the Top 12 who played before 1945, only 2 of which are "retired numbers." Pretty neat. I think Abreu will be a lively debate, wherever he falls.
Where would you rank Bunning vs. Allen?
I had Allen seventh and Bunning eighth.

Nvidia Corp. is about to unveil its GeForce GTS 250, which is a re-branded version of the previously available products. But while performance levels of the novelty will not change, there will be some other adjustments: the new graphics card will not support triple-SLI technology and will feature shorter and more affordable print circuit board.
Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 is based on the aging G92b chip that was initially released back in late 2007 and which performance was similar to the G80 (GeForce 8800 GTX/GTS), launched in late 2006. The G92b graphics processing unit made using 55nm process technology features 128 stream processors, 32 texture units, 16 render back end units, 256-bit memory controller, hardware acceleration of video playback and post-processing, etc. Clock-speeds of the GeForce GTS 250 graphics solution are similar to those of the GeForce 9800 GTX+: 738MHz for the chip, 1836MHz for stream processors, 2200MHz for GDDR3 memory.
There are some differences between the graphics cards themselves: the GeForce GTS 250 comes with shorter print circuit board, which also costs less to make, and with only one MIO connector that points to lack of support for 3-way multi-GPU configurations. The absence of triple-SLI technology support will hardly be missed by many. Some Nvidia GeForce GTS-based graphics cards will feature 512MB of memory, copying the GeForce GTS 512MB and GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+ (which are all based on essentially the same GPU), but more advanced versions will come with 1GB frame-buffer to offer better performance with antialiasing enabled.
In fact, Nvidia bets heavily on the low price of the GeForce GTS 250: the 512MB version should cost $129 and 1GB version is projected to be available at manufacturer suggested retail price of $149, considerably lower compared to price-points of the 9800 GTX+ models.
Nvidia will formally introduce the fourth version of the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 – the GeForce GTS 250 – on the 3rd of March and projects "wide retail availability on or before March 10th".
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Skip to comments.Sen. Tom Coburn's claim on percentage of SSDI, SSI recipients is on the mark.
Posted on 01/02/2011 11:36:02 PM PST by Angelus
The statement "One in 19 Americans today get SSDI or SSI. That's one in 19 Americans (who) are disabled." Sen. Tom Coburn, Dec. 1, 2010, in a meeting of the Simpson-Bowles deficit commission.
At a meeting of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform the Simpson-Bowles commission tasked with finding a solution to deficits one panel member, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., cited disability payments as an example of government spending "out of control."
1 in 20 Americans now collect disability payments and that number will continue to rise because Congress will not reform a welfare program in which "disability" can mean just about anything.
I really hope this has legs and Coburn can get some reforms here. This SS is a total welfare program full of all types of cheats.
Seriously!! I hope this issue gets legs!!!! Been people gaming the system since the 70s!
This is a great subject. Do you all know that drug addicts and so called alcoholics get disability if they are in a rehab?
To top that off, I know somebody who went as far as having some kind of box put in her neck to stop her from having epileptic seizures that she has never had to guarantee that she stays on disability; life is so good on disability, that she had personalized license plates put on her car with the name of the thing that she had put in her neck.
Let's take a highly functional or incomplete quadriplegic for example. Able to somewhat use their hands but unable to do things like empty a urinary drainage bag etc. Next is the problem about being up in a wheelchair for the work day. One pressure sore can mean weeks if not months in bed. This is but a few examples. There are also non visable disabilities like CHF and other disorders s well. Just because a person can walk does not mean they can function in a work place at gainfull employment.
Despite what the senator says S.S. disability is in fact not that easy to obtain. The first filing is denied almost automatically even with ample proof from many doctors including the SS agencies contracted examiners. The first appeal with overwhelming proof might get you on disability. Odds are likely about 1 in 3. The rest will spend years going through lawyers, hearings, more appeals, and in the meantime no income except possibly SSI. BTW getting SSDI does not mean one qualifies for SSI. If you made a dollar above minimum wage before applying for disability chances are once you receive SSDI you will have to pay back the SSI from your first check which is back pay usually.
I know a few disabled persons. I know of no one on it fraudulently. There are much easier state and federal programs to access with a much lower burden of proof for assistance than disability.
For many lower income workers this will be their sole income if becoming disabled. Some who had better paying jobs or were under a great corporate benefits package may have additional coverage that some may mistake as SSDI. The standards for obtaining payment would vary from policy to policy.
The first thing a person usually looses when becoming disabled is their healthcare insurance. Generally within 60 days most employers stop paying. That means you are placed on COBRA which to a disabled person who can not work is just not a realistic option.
I disagree with the senators assessment on this issue. I would also bet that most disabled were likely blue collar low to lower middle class workers. It would make sense because they would likely be doing more physically demanding jobs. My last job out of about a dozen person I worked with over 5 years 4 of them died during that time and one went on disability. That one was me. Before I went to work there the foreman dropped dead in his office.
Your SSDI payment depends on what you paid in. Every ones payment varies due to what they paid in. Does anyone in here think they can live on $618 a month or maybe $813? I know persons who draw about that much. IOW it is by no means a get rich program for most. It is forced medical retirement. I know another person who draws $1500 a month.
There is a lot of waste and fraud in government no doubt but SSDI is about the strictest program there is.
From the disability side....I worked with a guy in the 1990s who had a brother who claimed disability. My co-worker was absolute in opinion that the injury was bogus. The guy was only pulling around $850 a month so it was hard for me to envision going this direction...for such a limited amount of money...and thinking you could really live off this.
Every kid (what % now?) diagnosed with ADD, ADHD (actually bored with lousey schools) or whatever the fad is SSI for life. There is no cure. They will be doped for life.
Find a welfare mom and I guarantee they are also getting SSI for a kid.
Really? How long ago was that? I just searched the procedure. It's still experimental from what I'm reading and a last resort procedure when meds fail to control seizure activity. IOW there would be a lot of vetting through several physicians for this procedure to even be considered.
Now sometimes EEG's do not pick up epileptic seizures. I can pass an EEG with flying colors and I have epileptic seizures. BTW there are many forms of it. Mine isn't the loose consciousness and fall down time. Mine jerks the living daylights out of my upper torso due to certain auditory and visual stimulations. Makes driving real interesting. LOL
There is also a procedure where such an electronic device is placed in the neck and connected to the brain for relief from severe depression. Again a last resort procedure it looks like.
You can't really. BTW the $600 and $800 dollar figures I mentioned? The $613 is my wifes. She is an incomplete quadriplegic and has been 25 years. The $830 or so I draw for mine which happened 16 years ago. It wasn't one single thing that put me there but a sum total some of which were life long problems that got worse.
I am not questioning your medical state, I am just telling you that this person that I know had this done many years ago at Columbia. Nobody in her family has ever seen her have a seizure and she is the type that if you closed your eyes she would rob you blind. Not to get too personal, but she is my wife's sister. And let me just say one thing, in today's day and age a person can convince a doctor to do anything that is exploratory. She collects SSDI and she works under the table and she drives.
Anyway, later a person came out through a door and yelled my name. I followed her and she took me to a desk where a blind computer operator was sitting - the actual SSA officer. The 'helper' took my paperwork and proceeded to sequence and speak each entry so the blind computer operator could enter it.
By the way, the blind computer operator effed it up and I got a letter in the mail later and I had to go back and do it all over again....
Also all the homo's with aids.
I worked in a Rehab and used to drive the druggies and alcy's to their SSI appointments. It used to make me sick to see what was going on.
I was diagnosed with it about 45 years ago. Look there is a real problem and there is a real disorder very similar to ADD/ADHD. The epidemic isn't pharmaceutical or even government program driven it is technology triggered.
There is a fairly recently discovery of a sensory processing problem called Central Auditory Processing Disorders. These are very real and far easier to prove than ADD ADHD. They require NO Medications except to treat possible conditions which may have caused it such as chronic sinus allergies or chronic ear infections as a child.
I did not have ADD/ADHD I have C.A.P.D. and a very dysfunctional auditory and visual processing system. You can look for C.A.P.D. in a kid right after Christmas. The new video games for example. The kid plays a while then becomes agitated and unable to concentrate. Here's more clues for C.A.P.D. instead of ADD ADHD. The inability to process oral instructions accurately without them being repeated several times. These kids are not ignoring you their brain is trying to process what you have told them. Ever tell a kid to so something then about the middle of the second or third time they suddenly get it?
The behavioral traits of ADHD and C.A.P.D. can be easily mistaken. That is why all kids need to be tested for C.A.P.D. by an Audiologist at an early age. No special federal funding is needed for them in class either. Other clues such as coordination may point to what I'm saying.
Getting help early on is essential. This might mean Occupational Therapy for more severe cases. For me that enabled me to pass my military entrance physicals and function in the workforce later into my mid 30's. BTW mine is a severe case not typical to most kids with C.A.P.D. The doctors {eye doctors actually} saw the issues 45 years ago in me but no medical name had been given it. I'm also single eye functional. Vision in both eyes but never at the same time.
Wrong, girl down the street from me got knocked up by a worthless druggie, in the last fifteen years he has spent ten in jail, they. Had three kids before her mother made the doc spade her. She has never worked a day in her life and now is on ssi. Claims she has a bad back, must have got from laying on it.
You ain't been around welfare mothers I take it. A seriously large percentage get SSI "crazy" checks for their kids for ADH, etc.
1 in 19 Americans are on SSI and you say its hard to get. Read it again, Apparently it is NOT hard to get.
You might want to read up more on Epilepsy. Not all seizures are what most persons recognize as being such or are even visable to others is what I'm saying.
I didn't even know what I have is considered a form of it till about a year ago when I saw it classified as being such. I drive every day but I have what is called Myoclonic seizures which cause very violent spasms in my shoulder blades and neck but not in my arms or hands so it allows me to drive for right now. A trip through a Walmart for example is enough to trigger them. So is TV in some cases.
I can have as many as several a minute on a bad day 1-2 on a good one.
Epileptic seizures are physically and mentally exhausting for a lot of people. If you didn't see me in the seizure state {BTW the seizures only last a couple of seconds} you'd see me as being healthy except I walk with a cane now due to balance issues and arthritis. You likely would not even call my seizres epeltic.
As for getting a doctor to do something expiermental? Most insurance companies balk including Medicare HMO's.
Getting on SSDI is not as difficult as you think.
I have a close family member who has fabricated a case of fibromyalgia and an anxiety disorder.
Believe me, I am very close to this person and she has no symptoms of fibromyalgia and maybe a mild case at best of anxiety.
She got her high priced psyc doctor to help her with the paper work and hired an attorney as well.
It took a few years but her lies worked. I remember her first check from SSDI was for over 60,000 dollars....no joke.
She now makes about $800 and something a month.
Believe me she can work. What she is doing is a total scam and we taxpayers are paying for her to sit at home and watch movies.'
Did I mention she just bought a brand new Ford today? I pay an enormous amount a year in fed taxes to pay for her lies but I can't afford a new car.
It makes me sick.
I know there are people who are truly disabled....my brother was in a very bad car accident which left him with severe brain damage. He couldn't speak, walk, use his hands, nothing. It took him 10 years going through the motions and denials until a judge finally took one look at him and granted him the disability.
In my estimation at least 50 to 75 percent of the people receiving disability benefits from SS are full of baloney and gaming the system.
Including my family member.
SSI and SSDI are two highly different critters all together. The standards for SSI are low. You don't have to be disabled just poor. SSI is welfare.
Social Security Disability Insurance has a much higher qualification standard and burden of proof. It sometimes takes years to get it and most give up or die first. SSI is immediate. The senator was not smart in connecting them together because they aren't.
social security disability is no piece of cake. there are people whom collect it whom are incapable of full - time employment. SSDI and SSI are not welfare programs.
How many people know that there is a program within the Social Security Administration that is called Ticket to Work? There are people with disabilities whom are striving to move from Social Security Disability to employment. The economic times have made it a little more difficult. It is an all volunteer program, whereby a person with a disability voluntarily submits the ticket to work for employment as designated on the Ticket to work. yet there are limits to the program.
If you have never lived with a disability do not say the people with disabilities do not want to be employed or whatever else you wish to say.
I live with a disability that I gained in the service to this country. I went on after returning back to this country to get a bachelors degree, and masters degree and soon I am going for my doctoral degree.
I hate it when people say that there are people whom say everyone on disability feels they are entitled to it. That is BS.
Maybe my body is all screwed up, so on and so forth, but I still have a mind that works. Sure I use Dragon Natuarally speaking to enter information on a computer, use a wheelcahir and crutches to get around. I drive a car with hand controls. I modified a ford 9n tractor to be able to care of snow. I use a John Deere zero turn lawn mower to cut grass. .
Being a senator and a congressman is a welfare program the SOBs do very little for the money that is wasted on the idiots in DC whom do nothing. An enlisted soldier makes 19,000 a year. What the hell does a congress critter or senator make in excess of 170,000 a year. Many of them refuse to listen to their constituents.
Coburn is an ass. Lets take away his 186,000 a year salary and have him live on 19,000 a year, and out of he pay for his medical bennefuts and other daily living necessities. Take the welfare away from the politicians.
You might want to read my post #22 on this thread.
I have personally watched someone very close to me drum up some vague symptoms and whined about them to a psychiatrist.
Hired a lawyer and started the ball in motion for acceptance into the SSDI program.
It took two years of passing paperwork back and forth but was deemed too disabled to work and got on the dole.
Since it took her 2 years from the initial filing to the acceptance the SS admin. paid her all the back money they "owed" her from the 2 year lapse.
It was unbelievable to watch how easy it was to receive. Oh and of course since she has two children, they too get SS checks to help take care of them as well.
This has got to stop. There is no way 1 in 19 Americans are too disabled to work. I have seen it first hand.
This is pure crap and evertime I make out that big check to the IRS on April 15 I just want to scream.
I am tired of paying for others lies. It has to end.
I'm one eye functional with good vision in neither and one has severe astigmatism my dominant eye. It is a disorder you can't see. I was born club footed both feet and am now as well flat footed in both feet. My legs and feet are twisted from years of walking off balance and arthritis set in.
Now then. I could walk up to you tomorrow and talk to you for an hour and you likely would not detect anything unless I had a seizure or have my cane.
It was a Social Security Medical Examiner that was the first to tell me I'd never be able to work again. I think she knew what she was seeing but at that time it had no name. G.A.D. worked on paper and so it was. I was later diagnosed with PTDS as well which I am now free of.
I know several persons with Fibro. They have their good days and bad ones. Not enough is known about it to really treat it. 16 years ago nothing was known about what I have. Because of that I was given the wrong medication treatment for nearly two years. Most of what I know about what I have I acquired on my own searches.
When I lost all my immuntity I had to Mold a few years back I found out what Asthma was like. Allergic reactions and Asthma can be about the same. I took my share of Predisone for a couple of years till the immunity therapy began working for me. BTW I don't trust any shrinks.
...and don't forget all their big buck$ meds. My kid is a pharmacist and said it would make you cry to see all the medicaid & AIDS drugs for $1. Most throw them in the garbage and the drugstore keeps calling them to refill. Truly sickening.
Also, I unfortunately have some relatives that have milked the disability wagon for life. 3 out of 4 siblings have "disability issues" in their 30-40's. Some of these clowns work under the table.
Disability for alcohol and drug addictions {unless drug addiction was the direct result of legitiimate medical treatment} should be ended. It is supposed to be limited to two years lifetime I think. But what you are seeing is really a different problem. A court system that refuses to deal harshly with parents especially mothers. I know about that system as well and about went to jail taking on a bad mom. The courts and Childrens protective services or whatever they are in each state is of the opinion all mothers with anykind of abuse or criminal record are to be considered victims.
See post 17. I know what I'm talking about on the ADD ADHD issue. If/When enouh of the kids get tested for C.A.P.D. you'll begin to see the ADD ADHD rates bottom. C.A.P.D. can only be diagnosed either by an Audiologist or Speech Pathologist trained in the testing. CAPD is cheap to treat and requires no meds as such and very little classroom modification.
Way out of a shrinks league though. Their understanding stopped in the early 1970's. Vestibular Research is making headway. Vestibular means related to the components of the auditory processing system.
Why don't we call them "reparations"? How many of those one-in-nineteen are black? I know! (groan) I'm racist!
I worked in a public school. There were two full time counselors on staff and they spent a large part of their time processing SSI claims for ADD and ADHD students. It was a severely abused process. Made us sick to see these moms, who didn't work at all, come in with paperwork for 3 or 4 kids. They were always "very anxious" to start getting those SSI checks!
You assume that we are all heartless creeps with no sympathy for the disadvantaged! Wrong! The truly disabled deserve help. But, we have no sympathy for those who refuse to help themselves or those who contrive to get benefits!
When I turned sixty- five, I went to the Social Security office to get my Medicare application form and was amazed at the huge crowd of young, fat women there with several small children in tow. They were there filing for "disability"....too fat to work, I suppose.
If you hand out "free" money, they will come.
You're assuming he's not working in the cash economy.
I know a woman in Missouri who collects SSI. Her boyfriend? Also collects SSI. It's for 'mental issues' but there is nothing wrong with them. It's sickening.
I have a friend who has MS. He needs it.
Why does the American Taxpayer have to fund the result of LIFESTYLE CHOICES, when the obvious outcome is destructive? (Other than to buy votes of certain constituencies).
I personally know people who have done this for more than 20 years of taxpayer-funded supplemental income.
For those inner-city welfare families, there seems to be an endless supply of Obama Money coming to fund their crack habits, un-wed baby-production, etc., and each child affords them additional opportunity to claim SSDI/more food stamps/more aid for families, etc.
This is a way of life in a culture that lives SOLELY off the taxpayer-funded handouts.
The monthly amount isn't 'hugh', about $550.00 max benefit. But it adds up a tidy sum in the end.
Others qualify for SSI too. Like some who are awaiting or fighting the repeated denials for Disability. However once you get approved for Disability, any SSI monies received are deducted from your payment(s).
But giving 'FREE' money to Junkies and Winos is nucking futs. I don't know when that started but that should end pdq. And how some are collecting BOTH SSI and Disabilty (SSDI) beats the sheet out of me.
We had a man in our Sunday School class who needed a heart transplant, couldn't work even if he wanted to. Took him 3 tries to get on SSDI. Was on it 2 years before he could find a 'match'. A year after the transplant when he was stable, he was back to work and off SSDI.
Call the national number and make an appointment, those are seen FIRST over walk in's.
All I've got to do is increase my drinking from occasional to daily, and they'll send me MONEY? Where's the downside with that?
< /sarc >
There are 2 adults less than 2 miles from me who are brother & sister. They are in their late 30's or very early 40's.
They each collect $800 a month in 'Disability" payments-—and have been for a number of years.
Because they are TOO FAT!!!
They claim they are TOO FAT to be able to work!!!
Neither one will ever make any attempt to lose weight & actually get some skill sets & get a job—instead they continue to eat their way thru life on their $800 a month each from NObama.
They squat for free in the home of their mother & stepfather. The mother is just as much of a parasite. Another story......
A contrast? I started work when I was 15 on a payroll. Part time when in High School. I am now 71.
This is the 3rd consecutive year I am collecting a FROZEN Soc Sec amount of $1039.00 Prices on everything have & are going up.
Thank you. Most people don't realize they are 2 separate programs. One I welfare and one is not.
I guess I am having a hard time understanding why anxiety disorder is something that should get a person disability payments.
I understand paralysis, MS,cancer, brain damage, etc.- but anxiety disorder?
It also seems to me anxiety disorder can be easily faked.
This is why the system- well intentioned when it started- is now going broke.
You seem to write lucidly enough, had you ever considered trying to get a career in writing? It's not a very big field, but for the lucky or hard-working it can be a career.
I do it as a hobby, so my income is miniscule, about $30 a column, but if I had ever figured out how to sell my column to, say, 49 other publications a week, that would have been $1500 a week for about 6 hours of work.
You are living in a dream world.
SSDI/SSI is the biggest scam in the world.
Particularly for children.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes): It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income; and It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.
Sure sounds like a disability program to me. Yes, it is for people with limited resources and income, but it's not welfare for anybody, you also must be disabled, old, or blind.
Never seen anyone in a full blown attack have you? My first attack was like a stroke. I lost all sense of where I was at, what I was doing, how I got there, where I was going, etc. I was on an interstate driving BTW. My last night at work I went into one of those attacks that lasted nearly two days. Many if not most anxiety disorders except when related to traumatic events have an underlying NEUROLOGICAL cause. The problem is many doctors do not go through the trouble to pin it down and shrinks sure won't.
IOW anxiety is a secondary disorder or a symptom produced by a medical disorder as in my case. In this case it can not be treated by a shrink nor by conventional text book meds used such as antidepressants as that only makes it worse. It took me a while to even find a doctor who could treat it. Xanax is my medication friend. A God send for someone like me.
This also greatly effects my concentration. I was a maintenance mechanic when this hit. I was trained and experienced in Commercial Electrical, HVAC, and boiler operations. Before I had to quit I was having serious problems with concentration. IOW I could have gotten myself or others killed. I was working on equipment 460 volts three phase as well as operating boilers when I wasn't repairing other equipment. I wasn't a typical maintenance man this was in a commercial health care facility environment. Now I'll show you part of what I'm talking about by letting a doctor explain some of it. Cognitive Aspects of Vestibular Disorders
I got a lot further in life with this simply because I got help when I was about 12. I spent two years in physical rehabilitation. There I learned to get by till my mid thirties when my sensory system began to fail. My attacks are complicated by Myoclonic Epileptic Seizures which occur at the same time.
Stress also complicates this. I don't just sit around drawing a check. I am a full time 24/7 caregiver. By caregiver I mean I am a trained medical care giver. I don't get paid for it. Familiy does not get paid for taking care of family. I've done it 25 years including the years I worked a full time job.
Can it be faked? The onset of MS can be faked so can brain damage. Sure anythings possible. I have 16 years documentation of my disorders. I suppose my wife could be faking her quadriplegia also. Man if I ever catch her up and walking is she ever in trouble /sarcasm.
I've been on it once. It's been 25 years so I forgot a few things. Actually my wife and step kids were eligable I wasn't. We used it for about a year when my wife first went quad till I could get my wife stabilized and family trained so I could return to work. Our combined disability monthly income is about $1400 so we don't qualify.

Perfect gluten free thickener. Did have an issue with the bag being broken open so all of my products were covered in the odd powder which turns slimy when you try to rinse it off. I salvaged half of the product and put it in a ziplock.
A fantastic product!

The City of Behna, Egypt
Benha is located 48 km north of Cairo and about 20 km northeast of the Nile Dam. It has a population of approximately 115,701 residents and is the capital of the Qalyubiyah Governate. A rail junction and trade center, Benha has cotton-ginning, rug-weaving, and food-processing industries. It is known for its oranges and grapes and especially for its honey, which it has produced since the Middle Ages. The city was established prior to the Greeks arrived in Egypt.
Nearby are the remains of Athribis which was once the capital of the 10th Nome. Athribis was associated with the worship of the black bull. During the Roman period the city was at its greatest importance. There are little remains of the ancient town except for traces of temples that date from the 18th to the 26th Dynasties. There is also an extensive Graeco-Roman cemetery. Some 26th to 30th Dynasty silver ingots and jewelry that were found at the Athribis site that are now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Benha is not typically frequented by foreign tourists.

The Pre-Socratics were the first philosophers of science. They were known as the sophos (the wise ones). They were ecliplised by the British and German philosophers of science in the seventeenth century and were largely disconnected from science hence forth. Science sets the agenda, but philosophers bring philosophical reasons instead of scientific reasons. Science answers the questions. The Pre-Socratics were the first to deal with metaphysics and did so to provide a rational philosophy. This allowed for a rational and objective observation and the use of reason to systematize and order the content to make it coherent.
The Sophists were worldly-wise in contrast with the sophos–frustrated by the plurality of answers in the current philosophy. The Sophists were the original skeptics as evidenced in Pyrrho. They came out of the sixth century BC and broke away from religious dogma, which had never happened before. Their methods were pragmatic and subjective–rhetorical and fashionable. The phrase, "The One and the Many" became important. The One (reality) had everything related to it (Many). This is where we get Monism–the quality of oneness. We see Monism appear later in Leibniz's monads, which take us to a single substance and leads to atomic theory.


text: She's definitely weaning. She now will nurse only when sleepy. Even our once best nursing sessions - at bedtime and first thing in the morning - are now only one-sided and very short. My body can't seem to keep up - even when she nurses I have very little to offer. I feel so sad. Really sad. Call me silly if you may but I've been teary all day and crying as I'm typing this. I miss my baby. I miss when she came to the breast to really gulp down the milk. I miss the feeling of my heavy letdowns and of the precious substance that my body works to make going from my body into her. How do I take that back - I can't, I never can. I feel like mourning. I pushed through SO many obstacles to nurse her until now and wanted to nurse her for a long time. I'm not ready to stop now. To be fair, it's not like she HAS stopped, but since my body has really slowed down the milk making I feel the complete end is not far. I feel like mourning - am I so crazy to feel that way? What do I say to myself to feel better??? No one IRL understands, no one can offer me any words of comfort.

Gundersen Lutheran holds open house for Inpatient Behavioral Health facility
People in the La Crosse area got their first look inside Gundersen Lutheran's new Inpatient Behavioral Health Building Saturday.
The hospital held an open house for the community from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
People attending could walk through the building and see many of its features including the 34 patient rooms and the additional rooms for adolescents.
There was also a special ceremony where staff shared the importance of bringing more behavioral health treatment opportunities to the La Crosse area.
They say their current unit simply couldn't meet the demand.
"For us, often times when our unit is full and we're no longer able to take additional patients so then those patients end up having to be transfered to another facility,"said Mike Dolan of Gundersen Lutheran Health System. "That's often times 2 to 3 hours away and we're trying to minimize that we would like the people in our community to get their care right here."
More than 500 people came to the open house.
The new facility is scheduled to start treating patients on Feb. 5.

I don't think "world's domination" is his true goal^^
This "plan" is kind of what Akatsuki is, a "cloak" to cover Madara.
ppl like him, used to battle and kill would just get bored if they conquered everything. Also he is not the person who wants to be in the center, he prefers working in secrecy.
So, he might be plotting along with Danzou^^
his purpose is to be the superbad bad guy to bring Saske full circle
