Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Jan 23, 2013.
The title of the thread is, "If I got Joe-D's job tomorrow...."
But...but...but...but...didn't Oklahoma and Cleveland do it that way? Just wait and hope for once-in-a-decade that THE special one arrived? On the other hand, had the saloon been just around the corner, I should have got drunk. John Barleycorn by London, Jack
I was just thinking about how completely upside down this team is: Salaries this year: 1) Maggette: $10.9M. No PT at all going forward. This is just evidence of prior financial mismanagement (by Maggette's prior employer and Joe D), not any fault of Maggette. 2) Stuckey: $8.5M. Asked to go to the bench out of embarrassment. Recently DNP-CD'd by coach after a reported run-in. Almost completely irrelevant on a nightly basis. 3) Villanueva: $8.1M. On ice for a long, long while. Currently comes off the bench and stays in the game for a while if he hits a quick 3, otherwise might not appear again in the 2nd half. 4) Prince: $6.8M. (seems about right). 5) Rip Hamilton: $5.5M. Again, evidence of prior screw ups by Joe D. 6) Maxiell: $5.0M. (seems about right) 7) Jerebko: $4.5M. Has been in bench jail for most of the season after a dreadful shooting start. His dad is calling out the coach in Europe. Irrelevant on a nightly basis. 8) Bynum: $3.5M. Our 7th man of the year for us. Seems about right. 9) Monroe: $3.2M. Our best contributor this year from a production volume standpoint. 10) Knight: $2.8M. Our 3rd best player. 11) Daye: $3.0M. Recent contributor off the bench. Seems about right. 12) Drummond: $2.4M. Clearly the team's best player and most valuable if he were put on Ebay for all other teams to bid on. 13) Kravtsov: $1.5M. Seems about right for a deep reserve big man. 14) Singler: $1.0M. 3rd cheapest player on the team, but has become the nightly starting SG. 15) Middleton: $0.5M. seems right. Future prospect. 16) English: $0.5M. seems right. D-league stint + recent PT. So, our starters and nightly bench are as follows in terms of pay ranking: Start/ Bench/ Jail (or waived) #10/ #8 #14/ #2/ #1, #5, #16 #4/ #11/ #15 #6/ #3/ #7 #9/ #12/ #13 None of our top 3 highest paid players start for us. I have scanned the Eastern Conference and there is only one other team like that- Charlotte. Team, # of top 3 highest paid players starting (.5 given for injured former starter, .5 given if guy has started about half of games) BOS: 3 BRK: 3 NYK: 2.5 (.5 for Amare being injured) PHI: 1.5 (.5 for Bynum being injured) TOR: 2.5 (.5 for Calderon having some bench role) CHI: 2.5 (.5 for Rose being injured) CLE: 2 (Walton odd man out) IND: 3 MIL: 1.5 (.5 for Illyasova getting mixed starts) ATL: 2.5 CHA: 0 (Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, and Diop make up our sister roster) MIA: 3 ORL: 2.5 (.5 for Turkaglu injury) WAS: 2 (.5 for Ariza mixed starts and .5 for Nene's injury) As you can see, the most common reason for highly paid players not starting is injury. Only a complete botch job by a GM leaves a team with no starters in its top 3 highest paid players even though there are no injuries. If we took it to the next level and asked how many teams in history have had only 2 of their top 8 highest paid players be starters, I'm wondering if the answer would be "1- the 2013 Detroit Pistons". So, even though we are seeing some progress, let's not forget how bad things have been run to end up in our current predicament. Going by salaries, here would be our starting lineup: PG: Stuckey SG: Maggette SF: Prince PF: Villanueva C: Maxiell
Great post! I think about this every time I look at the Trade Machine as they have player salaries right there next to the guy's name. I've never thought to compare this disfunction to the payrolls of other teams though. ...wow. I firmly believe that it's actually worse than what you've illustrated though due to Prince and Maxiell's salaries. You have these two in the "seems about right" category and I would argue that there are VERY few GMs in the league that would pay these clowns what they are making. When you factor in the big picture, the league is full of younger, better, less expensive replacements for Tay & Max. I just quickly glanced at a list of top PER SFs in the NBA as well as some per 36 stats and I saw at least 10 guys that make less than Tay and would do a better job (to be fair, I excluded rookie salary players). I'm assuming that the PF pool isn't as deep but I could do the same for JMax. ...so not to be a total downer but the two "semi bright" spots on the Pistons roster in terms of salary are actualy pretty dim spots if you ask me. Tay is past his prime. Max never reached his. I have to assume that Joe is currently on the phone to Reputation.com trying to get your post removed from the internets before T-Gores sees it.
I can get that post removed for $10k.
1. If you said, "Replace Frank with Popovich." then I would agree with you. Unfortunately, Popovich has repeatedly said that he retires with Timmy. Budenholzer is a complete unknown. As for having him, "steal as many assistant coaches as possible", I would respond by saying that stealing assistant coaches has never been a franchise changing move. Lawrence Frank however, is a proven, capable head coach. 2. There is zero benefit to amnestying Chuck V. until you have a definitive plan to use his cap space. He's also our third best big man. 3. Tanking is for losers, and there is NOBODY worthy of the number one pick in this year's draft. The team with the worst record rarely gets the #1 overall pick anyway. 4. If Joe traded a high character, 22 year old, borderline all-star big man for a top five DRAFT pick, then I would recommend that he be dragged out into the street and shot twice in the head. 5. I'm not sure if I would trade Knight for Burke quite yet. Let the season play itself out and get a good look at Burke's combine/workout, and tourney performances. 6. There is no way that I would blow up a young, talented team in order to re-boot with a bunch of unknown kids. I like all three of the players that you named, but if you played them together then you would probably have one of the three worst records in the league next year. I'm in no mood to sit through a 20 win season. 7. I would definitely be open to moving Stuckey and Prince. If we lose Bynum, and can't pick up another PG in the draft, then Stuckey would probably move into Bynum's current role. I would try and keep Daye and Bynum for the right price. Again, following your model, we'll be shooting for 20 wins. Bringing in a roster full of high character vets, who are on their way out of the league (thus willing to take one year deals), is not the way to field a competitive team. 8. & 9. I have zero interest in watching this team tank for two seasons. The team with the worst record rarely wins the draft lottery. That's why there is a draft lottery. Is it really that simple? Obviously not.
It's funny how we can be so frustrated with what we see and the solution is to hit reset and be really bad for another 4 years while we wait (again) for young players to learn how to win. While everyone knows that I do not like Brandon Knight's game at all, there are even worse options at PG. This team as it is assembled right now can compete with and beat all of the middle of the pack and bottom teams, which is right about where we should be considering we haven't drafted a LBJ or KD type player.
I'm not frustrated with this team. This is the most entertaining team that we've had since Big Ben was a legit DPOY candidate. We have a franchise big man, a borderline all-star big, and some talented perimeter pieces in Singler, Knight, and Daye. We have some interesting vets in Maxiell, Bynum, and Chuck V. Even Stuckey brings something to the table. I'm excited to see more of English. That kid can shoot. We need a wing who can shoot the three AND get to the line. We're losing tight games in the fourth quarter because we don't have that guy. This team is one year and one player away from being a 50 win squad. I'm excited about this team. They been fun to watch, at least for the last month. There are 5-7 players in this draft who could help us win games next year. McLemore, Shabazz, Porter, Burke, Caldwell-Pope, and MCW come to mind. As long as we can keep our pick, we'll be a solid playoff team next year.
I think you can move English ahead of Rip Hamilton on the Pistons depth chart.
Those commas were not meant to indicate order. I agree that English has been more productive for us this year though. Way better locker room presence.
I say the same thing (although Knight and Monroe often frustrate me to no end), we're 1 player away. many teams get a star and have to build around that player, Joe has basically assembled a supporting cast that simply needs a lead star and VOILA!
This is it. If all you are getting back is a pick, you are an idiot unless the draft is totally loaded with Garnetts, Rasheeds and KLoves. As in saturated. I sort of agree with you here, but also not really. Building around a star is different to adding a star. And we can both agree that our supporting cast is probably not Championship material. I am actually not sold on this guy at all (just yet! -before people start flaming). I don't see the CP3 comparisons, especially in terms of just flat out handles and lateral quickness. And more than that, if he truly is a ball dominant passer, I don't know how helpful that is anyway! We needs scorers for him to assist. Although I would love to see Drummond punish 10 lobs a game, thats not going to happen. Of all the draftees, I would take Shabazz. But not because I think he is the next LBJ. At this point, he looks more like Rudy Gay. But he could be a legit 20/5/5 guy given his size and strength.[/quote][/quote]
You can't compare him to the CP3 that you see today, a 27 year old seasoned vet with 7 years of NBA experience. You have to compare him to 20 year old Chris Paul at Wake Forest they're almost identical. Well DUH! But Shabazz won't be around when we pick and neither will McClemore
This team has been more entertaining than years past, but it still frustrates me. If the Pistons have 3 young guys to take a look at 2 of the 3 pairs (Monroe/Drummond and Knight/Drummond) have almost never played together. That's winning the wrong way to me. Forget adding guys to the team.
To expand a little bit on the concept of the upside down roster, here is how our guys rank in terms of points per minute (expressed conveniently as per 36): 1) Bynum: 17.8 2) Monroe: 17.2 3) Villanueva: 17.0 4) Knight: 15.8 5) Stuckey: 14.5 6) Drummond: 13.2 7) Daye: 13.0 8) Prince: 13.0 9) Singler: 11.1 10) Maxiell: 10.6 Seems a little strange that with Knight (at point guard) and Monroe (one of the best passing bigs theoretically) that our other 3 starters have the most anemic scoring rates on the team. Wouldn't you expect Prince, Singler, and Maxiell to be the beneficiaries of great passes and tons of shot opportunities? What really happens is that Knight and Monroe pretty much play a 2 man game and the other 3 guys are garbage men. Tay and Singler only shoot when wide open or when all other options are exhausted and the shot clock is a factor. Maxiell gets the occasional jump shot and otherwise cleans up messes in the paint when he's able to jam it back. Bynum's assist rate is 60% higher than Knight's (36.6 vs 22.9%) and his turnover rate is about 16% lower (15.5 vs 18.5). I'm becoming a big fan of Knight's defensive effort and would be afraid to see Bynum try to defend certain starting PG's in the league. However, if he moved to the starting lineup with Drummond and had shot blocking protection behind him, then I wouldn't mind seeing a starting group of Bynum/ Knight/ Tay/ Monroe/ Drummond. That would move 4 out of our top 6 scorers to the starting unit and would leave Stuckey/ Singler/ Daye (or Villanueva)/ Maxiell (or Villanueva)/ Drummond (or Monroe) as our bench unit. In my imagination, I see a world where Drummond and Monroe cover for the bench center spot by platooning the minutes. The bench would be demolished if it didn't have a center in there. On the rare occasions where you need to rest both, then try out TRG for 5-10 mpg. With Singler on the bench squad, you could live without having both Daye and Villa in together as stretchers. Stuckey could play the Bynum role by driving against the other team's bench scrubs.
On building around a star vs. adding a star, I see your point. However, I do believe that we already have a star who can be unstoppable in the fourth -Drummond. While I would like to them add that LBJ/Durant kind of player, it's not realistic. A guy like Caldwell-Pope could be a Kevin Martin type guy for us (18-20 ppg), and help us get over the hump. This is a team that will be built around three or four pieces. We don't have Durant or LBJ, so it has to be. On Burke, I'm not quite sold on him either, at least not as the next Chris Paul. He does NOT have Chris Paul's handle from Wake Forest. Wake Forest Chris Paul would also give you a couple WOW moments every game. I'm not seeing that from Burke. Still, I like Burke. I wouldn't mind seeing him run the point on the Pistons for 25 minutes a night. He is NOT a Joe D. type of guard though. So, chances are slim that we'd pick him, even if available.
Drummond could definitely be a star player within 2 years. He just needs a couple ugly post moves that work a little more often and some footwork training. Nothing drastic. The rest of his game is incredibly good. Don't bother ever even trying to develop a J... leave that to his PF partner.
I don't see Drummond as being a go-to star. I think he'll be a Tyson Chandler'esque, but a lot more dominant. I see him as 15 and 15 player, but not a guy that you can sump the ball into like Shaq or Olajuwon.
I don't see why not. There isn't really a reason why he couldn't be the next Shaq, except for pure weight. He can dribble, has fast hands, incredible athleticism and loves the glass. He won't be a Chandler type player, he is too fast in transition for him. He is a combination of Dwight and Smoove
Separate names with a comma.

Make music to the Lord with the harp…and the sound of singing… Psalm 98:5
I love our backyard and much of my morning quiet time is spent listening and watching my feathered friends, the robins who just added three little ones to their family; and the wren who sleeps in a hollowed out coconut shell hanging on the back porch…all bring a delight to my soul.
Last spring a sparrow's song was my morning joy, very early on a Sunday. I could hear it but could not find the chorister, and spent several moments quietly positioning myself to find the source of this cherub-like music. There he was!
Tiptoeing around the yard, I could both see and hear the little fellow but when he saw me, he stopped chirping momentarily and scurried out of sight from the unwelcomed audience; soon he began his song again. He certainly wasn't singing to me!
This little dance went on for several more minutes. I would strain to find him; the singing would stop. Once out of sight, he would start up again.
Why was he singing this day so beautifully? Was he singing for the other birds in the neighborhood? Why did he want to be alone? Or, was the little bird singing to the heavens in honor of his creator?
There are times when we all want (and need) to sing alone. I don't know about you, but I cherish my quiet times. I am not lonely during those precious moments, and the truth is, I am not alone, either. Just my Heavenly Father and I, sharing, laughing, crying, and singing! Glory!
Father, teach me more about being a sparrow, singing my heart of praise to You. Thank you for meeting me on that morning in the backyard. See You there again, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow! Amen and amen.

Painting over 4 year old primer coat
Greetings all!
My first post to this forum:
I finished buliding a house 4 years ago...due to other projects and lack of time I never painted the walls and ceilings. The drywall just had a sand-textured primer coat sprayed on it by the drywall subcontractor. Anyway, now I'm getting ready to paint it. One of the guys at one of the paint stores said that I should probably reprime the walls since the old primer has likely "degraded" and is not sealing the wall like it would if it were new.
Have any of you ever heard of this before? Needless to say, this was not welcome news. I was hoping that I could just dust off/vacumn the walls real good and have at it.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Take some regular (yellow) masking tape, stick it to the primer, and pull it off quickly. If the primer comes off with the tape, then it wasn't backrolled, and that primer isn't sticking well to the walls (and ceilings too, prolly).
PS: "Brownian Motion" is named after the English botanist Robert Brown, who noticed that tiny pollen grains floating in water would appear to slowly move about when viewed under a microscope. Einstein investigated this phenomenon and was able to show that the pollen grains moved the same way as an object of equal mass would when it was being bounced around by the random impacts of much smaller objects. (That is, O2, N2 or H2O molecules hitting the pollen grains would make the pollen grains move.) Einstein reasoned that very tiny particles (like soot from burning candles) behave very much like large molecules, and would move when O2 and N2 molecules in the air bump into them. Similarily, such tiny particles would lose energy when they bump into a cold wall. And, when they lose energy, they stop moving and remain on the surface of that cold wall. THIS is why dirt and dust will accumulate over the studs on an exterior wall, and accumulate most heavily right over top of where the drywall nails or screws are located, cuz that's where the wall is coldest.
Ya gotta know about Brownian Motion to get your DIY'er arm badge in Painting.
If you don't see any such lines on exterior walls, then I'd be inclined to just paint over what you have. If you do see parallel lines of dirt over wall studs and ceiling joists, then you really should clean them off before painting.
And, truth be known, it's too bad that you have to go so much smaller than airborne dust particles for quantum effects to become important. Otherwise we'd probably know more about the world we live in than we do.
Great! Thanks for the reply! I did the tape test....it seems fine.
May you always have the Brownian Motion where you need it!
If this was an exterior job, the bit about the primer "degrading" might make sense. But not in an interior, unless there has been actual damage or staining done to the primer. Certainly, if the primer has been extensively scrubbed or if it is stained, you will need to fix that up; but otherwise there is no need to reprime.
The old primer will be extremely "thirsty" and tough to paint and easy to flash
I'm the first to speak out against over-priming, but in this case absolutely prime first
What would change in the primer over 4 years that would require it to be re-primed?
If oil based and latex paints last well over 4 years between coats, why would the old primer need a new coat?

Greg Ross
Patricia Churchland is professor of philosophy at the University of California, San Diego. Her most recent book is Braintrust: What Neuroscience Tells us about Morality (Princeton University Press, 2011).
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
I work at the interface of philosophy and neuroscience. I call this endeavor "neurophilosophy," and in 1986 I published a book with MIT Press by that name. My aim is to explore how developments in neuroscience bear upon traditional philosophical questions, such as: What is the self? Where do values come from? How does the brain cause consciousness? Owing to the tremendous growth in neuroscience, neurophilosophy has now become a flourishing subfield. The crux of my hypothesis is that neuroscience tells us some essential things about the basic platform for morality, but that there is much that arises from problem-solving in a social context, where solutions become social practices that become part of culture.
What books are you currently reading (or have you just finished reading) for your work or for pleasure? Why did you choose them, and what do you think of them?
I am reading Mao's Great Famine: The History of China's Most Devastating Catastrophe, 1958-1962, by Frank Dikötter (Walker, 2010). I am fascinated by history, and I was stunned to learn how callous and brutal Mao was. Tens of millions of people starved to death during Mao's attempt to restructure Chinese life according to his ill-informed fantasies. I have just finished reading Talking to the Enemy (Ecco Press, 2010), by Scott Atran, an anthropologist who has spent his research life in the Middle East and who has the most up-to-date and educated understanding of Islamic extremists.
When and where do you usually read (specific location, time of day, etc.)?
We have a comfy La-Z-Boy couch with a footrest that flips up. I have been known to read there just about any time of day. Because I travel a lot, I have lots of good things on my iPad, such as The Recursive Mind, by Michael Corballis (Princeton University Press, 2011).
Who are your favorite writers (fiction, nonfiction or poetry)? Why?
I find myself drawn to history and biography more than to fiction, though as an adolescent I was devoted to fiction -- first Nancy Drew, but then George Eliot, W.M. Thackeray and Anthony Trollope. When we first moved to the United States from Canada, I realized that to understand my new country, I needed to understand the Civil War. And for two years, my extra-neuroscience reading was all about the Civil War. I was riveted, not by the battles, but by the run-up to the war, and by the period following the war. I also love the history of science, e.g. T. H. Huxley's account of William Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood; Sherwin Nuland's book The Doctor's Plague: Germans, Childbed Fever and the Strange Story of Ignác Semmelweis (W.W. Norton, 2003) and The Hidden Structure: A Scientific Biography of Camillo Golgi, by Paolo Mazzarello (Oxford University Press, 1999).
In fiction, I love George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series. When I need to be distracted, they always do the job. They are witty, rollicking and full of fascinating historical and cultural details, with just enough skullduggery and derring-do to hold one's attention.
What are the three best books you've ever read? Explain.
1. David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature (1739) is profound and beautiful and still makes the best sense of morality. Hume understood social behavior, its underpinnings and its relation to social institutions and practices. I still go back to it again and again.2. Macbeth, by William Shakespeare. Yes, I know it is a play, but I read it in high school, memorized most of it and pondered its meaning for politics, life and morality. I still do.3. All the King's Men, by Robert Penn Warren (1946). The movie version, starring Sean Penn, is also wonderful.
What book has influenced you most? Explain how.
There is no single book, but here are the top three:
1. W. V. O. Quine, Word and Object (MIT Press, 1961). It explained to me how and why science and philosophy are part of the same enterprise, why philosophy as an a priori discipline is unproductive and why philosophy isolated from science is dry and infertile. As a result, I began to study neuroscience, which shifted my philosophical perspective and opened up a whole new and exciting world. There are now easier books on the topics, such as Paul Churchland's The Engine of Reason, the Seat of the Soul (MIT Press, 1995) (full disclosure: Paul is my husband).
2. Light on Life, by B. K. S. Iyengar (Rodale, 2005). I like this because I find yoga to be a wonderful way to keep flexible in mind and body. By studying with Iyengar teachers, I have managed to advance far enough to really find the joy in yoga.
3. The Call of the Wild, by Jack London (1903). I read this as a youngster, and because it resonated with my own inclinations, it made seemingly out-of-reach possibilities worth pursuing.
Name three books you want to read but haven't gotten to yet.
David Hume's History of England (1754). Since it is six volumes, maybe that is all I need to list!
What book recommendations do you have for young readers?
Advice to a Young Scientist, by Peter B. Medawar (Harper & Row, 1979), is funny, deep and easy to read.Denying History: Who Says the Holocaust Never Happened and Why Do They Say It?, by Michael Shermer (University of California Press, 2000). Shermer is a brilliantly captivating author, and this book, thoroughly researched as it is, shows how people can get stuck in a certain narrative that they find appealing. Shermer is full of good sense and good humor, but never preachy.
What science book recommendations do you have for nonscientists?
Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error, by Kathryn Schulz (Ecco, 2010), is surprising and cool, and it gives us pause about our own certainties.
Name one book in your discipline that you would recommend for scientists outside your field. Explain your choice.
Owen Flanagan, The Really Hard Problem (MIT Press, 2007). Flanagan is wise, exceptionally clear, has a brilliant command of philosophy, and never tries to pull a fast one. He is so honest and forthright; never arrogant or obscure. He is also funny.

Clogged Sewer Line
Ok, I need some major advice! We bought a foreclosed home in March of this year. A week after moving in, my husband and father in law spent 6 hours snaking the sewer line and finally got it going again. 2 weeks ago we had the same issue arise, however it took 6 days and 150ft of snake to get through and get our toilet flushing, washer draining and sinks draining again. (The clean out pipe had actually overflowed into the yard and the neighbor ran over to tell us about it). Now, we having the issue again. We ran 2 loads of laundry today (not back to back) and the toilet started gurgling. My husband ran out and took the cap off of the clean out pipe and sure enough, there is standing water...AGAIN!!! We aren't sure now what to do. Does anyone know what this could be?! The house was built in 1920 and the clean out pipe is the old clay style so I am assuming the entire line is as well. We are starting to lean towards it being a busted pipe because if it was a tree root would it really clog back up like that? Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated and if you need more information I will provide you with any info I can! Thanks in advance!
My advise is to hire a professional plumber to snake in a video camera to see what's going on inside.
That would be ideal, but considering there is standing water, we have been told by said professionals that they wont be able to see anything with the camera.:(
Pump out water first or snake again till the standing water's gone ?
Another 6 days of snaking just to get a camera down there is going to be irritating! lol... Might be what we have to do but was hoping to get some ideas as to what else it could be. Tree roots (which I really doubt), broken pipe, extremely stubborn clog (which again, I really doubt). I would hate to spend 6 days snaking it again, 300 bucks on a camera and then another 4 or 5 days digging out the yard and repairing a pipe. Have I mentioned how much I HATE this stupid sewer line! lol
Sounds like the clay pipe is broken and needs to be replaced. Snaking an old clay pipe will also break it especially at the joints.
Luckily, we didn't have any joints to snake except the one at the bottom of the clean out that has a 90 degree turn to the line that runs to the street. The house say empty for over 2 years before we bought it and at first we thought maybe it was a clog that was caused from the previous owner (because they also had a back up close to the time they were foreclosed on according to the neighbor) and we were just getting the backlash of it. After having to snake it 2 times in a matter of 3 months and it clogging for a 3rd time, you cant help but think it is a busted pipe. Aside from a camera (that we currently wont be able to get through there) is there any other signs of a busted line we should be looking for? I know when we snaked it last time it seemed like we really had to work at one specific area for a long time to break through. I just can't believe that if it was a tree root it would have clogged back up so quickly. It has only been 2 weeks TOPS.
adowling -
Since the home was built in 1920, you're most likely correct in assuming the entire line is made of clay pipe. The condition of the pipe and/or cause of the obstruction is merely speculation until you can get a camera down the line. It needs to be snaked until the water drops, then a camera can be sent down to determine the actual problem and location of the breaks, offset joints, root-intrusions, etc.
Clay pipe came in 3' sections with bell and spigot joints; so if you have a 150' run, you may have as many as 50 joints between the house and the street that may be offset, cracked, broken, and have root intrusions. Additionally, you may be getting inflow from groundwater based on the water table.
The cost of a camera will help you determine the most appropriate solution. And again, will enable you to locate the bad spot(s). It may be as simple as a spot repair. Likewise, it could be that an entire line replacement is necessary.
Depending on the location of the problem areas, and any obstructions that may be in the way, there are a number of ways to remedy the problem. i.e. conventional excavation, bursting, or lining. Depending on the depth and location, you may also be able to make a repair yourself to save some money.
Thanks for all that insight. We got up this morning and the line was clear... so we are assuming there is a least a small spot where water can leak through. Now we are going to money around to see if it clogs back up again and if it does, we will get it clear and run the camera. Here is to hoping!
"Lots of Joints in a150 FT run"
Well it wasnt clear full when we noticed it about 3 this morning. It just had standing water. When I checked it at about 10 this morning it was clear and had the kitchen sink running and I could see the water flowing through. Granted, the kitchen sink doesnt run at a high rate like say our washer does (which is also what starts the clog in the first place) so in a couple of hours we will run the sink until the hot water is no longer hot, let the water heater fill back up and then run a load of water through the washer to see if we can get it to clog.
If you are worried about money; the cost of dealing with it only grows.
We aren't avoiding a known problem. We don't know what they problem is. We are trying to get to the problem starting with the cheapest route first. I am pretty sure that is how most people handle problems to begin with. No one goes out and buys a new car when all the old one needs is a new wiper blade, right? Geez. This house sat empty for 2 years. Our initial thought was maybe, just maybe, there is a crap ton of sediment sitting in the pipes and once we started flushing water through it started breaking off old crap that was caked onto the pipes. When we redid some plumbing inside the house there was a lot of mineral build up and that's what we were thinking was inside of the sewer line. We WANT to fix the problem but we are NOT going to go jumping head first into something expensive before we have exhausted all other options. Will we run a camera down there? Probably. Will we replace the sewer line? If we have to, then yes. Am I going to just fork over thousands of dollars to do so before we have tried everything else? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I came here looking for advice on things we could try or hoping maybe someone had a similar issue and could give some insight. I didn't come here to be told "Hey, stupid, get a camera down there".
We aren't talking thousands of dollars. I have an appointment to have mine checked with a camera for $150.00.

Ambient Lighting
Is there a way to change the ambient lighting color to blue?
Would love to be able to change the color. The green isn't doing it for me.
Re: Ambient Lighting
The Durango has blue and it is awesome at night. Would have been the first mod I would have made if I knew how. Jeep didn't want to stray from the classic green.
Re: Ambient Lighting
I have seen on other forums where people have replaced all of the dash lighting. That was on a Lancer Evo, it was highly labor intensive and involved using rice sized LEDs(upwards of 100). It can be done, but unless you know how to do it the bang for the buck does not seem worth it.
Re: Ambient Lighting
blue is hard on the eyes at night time, that is why most companies use green. they can be changed easily if you can solder
Re: Ambient Lighting
Theres a thread on here where it was done to all blue on a WK2. Not sure how, but look it up. Looks bad ass.

Fashion editor, author, eccentric dresser and object of all-round affection Suzy Menkes is auctioning more than 80 pieces from her private collection of pioneering fashion.
The collection includes clothes, bags and accessories by designers such as Emilio Pucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, Chanel and Ossie Clark.
Many of the items date back to the Sixties, so it was appropriate that a star guest at last night's private view at Christie's was Mick Jagger, with his girlfriend, L'Wren Scott. Also there were Mario Testino, Alice Rawsthorn, Mary Katrantzou, Erdem Moralioglu and Jasper Conran.

It snowed about an inch overnight and I used the 4WD high on my truck for the first time this morning. I turned in on when I got off the freeway, where the roads we still a little slick, so everything was all warmed up to operating temp. When I started slowing down to turn into the driveway at work, I heard a nasty whining sound coming from the front of the truck. It sounds a lot like the whine a power steering pump makes when it's low on fluid. I guess it could be described as a grinding or howling noise as well. I drove around the parking lot a little and it only happens at slow speed when decelerating. Once I slow down to very slow speeds, the noise starts to oscillate a little bit and then stops when I'm just crawling. This happens when all the time in 4WD and stops when in 2WD. I just double-checked again at lunch and it's more of the same.
I like to think that I'm fairly mechanically inclined but since I've never worked as a mechanic, all of my knowledge is limited to the vehicles that I've owned and I've never owned anything with 4WD before. I get the concept of the system, just never had to work on them before. So I can take some highly technical questions, if you have them.
I just bought this truck on Monday and it didn't make this noise last week when I test drove it. I will be taking it back to the dealer for them to assess it but I just want to make sure I know what I'm talking about. I'm not used to these trucks yet and all of the noises they make but this one is too loud for me to consider "normal". Oh, and it only has 70k miles on it.
Thanks for the help!

Sobi, Watson get OPDP untitled letters
Sobi, Watson get OPDP untitled letters
The agency's letter to Quintiles, the US agent for Swedish Orphan Biovitrium (AKA Sobi), cited multiple problems with Sobi's website for the drug Kepivance (palifermin), which is used to treat patients with oral cancer (Sobi is a Swedish specialty biopharma that works in rare diseases, hereditary metabolic disorders, hemophilia, immunodeficiency and oncology. As the company's US agent, Quintiles essentially serves as the firm's mailbox in dealings with FDA).
"It completely omits the important risk information from the Warnings and Precautions section of the PI regarding the potential for stimulation of tumor growth," said the agency. "In addition, the webpage omits important risk information from the Drug Interactions section of the PI regarding a five-fold increase in palifermin systemic exposure with heparin co-administration and increased severity and duration of oral mucositis when Kepivance is administered within 24 hours before, during infusion of, or within 24 hours after administration of myelotoxic chemotherapy."
The agency's letter said the exclusion is an overreach and "misleadingly suggests that Kepivance is safer than has been demonstrated."
The FDA also found fault with the way Sobi relied on links to the PI as opposed to presenting the information on the site itself, finding them "not sufficient to mitigate the misleading impression created by the omission of this important risk information from the webpage."
The agency also had problems with the way efficacy was portrayed, and said the image of a woman holding a slice of watermelon, claims that a patient's daily diary show the stated improvements and that "Kepivance was associated with clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements," are off the mark. Among the agency's issues: the data that accompanied the Kepivance BLA is "not considered substantial evidence to support claims that Kepivance improves the ability to eat, drink, swallow and talk." The letter also attacks the use of a patient diary, saying the agency hasn't validated the diary entry criteria.
The remaining webpage issues: misleadingly implying that the drug can decrease duration of opioid use, and the company's failure to submit the page when it went live.
Regarding Watson's journal ad for the iron deficiency drug Nulecit (Sodium Ferric Gluconate Complex in Sucrose Injection), the agency said that the ad suggests Nulecit has been proven to reduce the need for erythropoisis-stimulating agents, "when, to our knowledge, this has not been demonstrated by substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience." The FDA also said the study Watson used to support the claim relied on a nonrandomized, uncontrolled clinical trial.
The ad posits Nulecit as a cost-saving treatment over ESA-only therapy, but the FDA says the supporting studies don't provide substantial evidence.

A clinical trial has shown fresh olive leaf extract, prepared by Paengaroa-based company Comvita, improves the way insulin is secreted and works in overweight men.
Insulin that does not work effectively can lead to diabetes.
A range of health outcomes, including insulin responses among trial participants, were assessed.
The 47 overweight and middle-aged men took fresh olive leaf extract for 12 weeks as part of the trial, conducted by The Liggins Institute at The University of Auckland.
A brief outline of the findings was presented at the Comvita Science Symposium, recently held at the university.

How many bones are in the human body?
165 Answers | Add Yours
There are 206 bones in an normal adult skeleton and about 300 in an infants. The difference comes from the fact the some bones fuse over time into a single bone. For example, an infants paired frontal, periatal, and occipital plates fuse to create single skull.
The human body has 206 bones.
The skeleton of an adult human is made up of 206 bones of many different shapes and sizes. Added together, your bones make up about 15% of your body weight. Newborn babies are actually born with many more bones than this (around 300), but many bones grow together, or fuse, as babies become older. Some bones are long and thick, like your thigh bones. Others are thin, flat, and wide, like your shoulder blades.
There are approximately 206 bones in the average human adult skeleton, but it can vary based on the degree of fusion between various bones in the body.
An adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones.
These include:
- 22 Cranial and Facial Bones
- 6 Ear Bones
- 1 Throat Bone
- 4 Shoulder Bones
- 25 Chest Bones
- 26 Vertebral Bones
- 6 Arm and Forearm bones
- 54 Hand Bones
- 2 Pelvic Bones
- 8 Leg Bones
- 52 Foot Bones
Its 306 for a baby, but as the body matures- the bones fuse together to form around 208 bones.
At the stage when you stop growing, it is 206.
Humans are born with about 300 to 350 bones. Many of these bones fuse together between birth and maturity to produce an average adult total of 208 bones. The number of bones in the human body varies according to the counting method used. While some methods consider a given structure to be a single bone with multiple parts, others consider the same structure to be multiple bones.Location Number Skull 22 Ears (pair) 6 Vertebrae 26 Vertebral ribs 24 Sternum 3 Throat 1 Pectoral girdle 4 Arms (pair) 60 Hip bones 2 Legs (pair) 60 Total 208

The adult human body has 206 bones. An infant may have from 300-350 bones at birth. Some of these fuse together as the infant grows. When some bones fuse and become one bone (most obvious examples are in the skull, sacrum and hip bones) the number of overall bones drops to the 206 bones that most adults have.
Of the 206 bones in the adult human body, more than half (106) are in the hands and feet. The adult skeleton consists of the following bones:
- 28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones)
- The horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck which is the only bone that does not articulate (connect via a joint) to another bone
- 26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck; 12 thoracic; 5 lumbar or loins; the sacrum, which is five fused vertebrae; and the coccyx, which is four fused vertebrae)
- 24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bones in the body, and 2 scapulae)
- the pelvic bones (3 fused bones called the coxal bone, or Os Coxae)
- 30 bones in each of the arms and legs (a total of 120)
- a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints
There are individual variations: for example, some people are born with an extra rib or lumbar vertebra and not everyone has Inca (sutural) bones.
Some interesting facts:
- The hand has 27 bones, the foot has 26 and the face has 14.
- The longest bone in your body, the femur (thigh bone), is about 1/4 of your height. The smallest is the stapes (or stirrup) in the ear which is about 1/10 of an inch.
- Humans and giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks.
- Most of the bones in the body are in the hands and feet.
- The human body consists 206 bones for adults, but for infants there are 270.
206 is the generally accepted # of bones. Although their are idiosynchratic instances of more or less.
206 bones are present in a human body

Since I'm in Halls I will keep that in mind.Thanks for the info.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Since I'm in Halls I will keep that in mind.Thanks for the info.
Ours in SW Minnesota still has fabric and wonderful ladies to help you with matching fabric colors. Sure would miss it if they ever took out the fabric....to the point of maybe not even shopping again. Only for the reason I love to sometimes just stop in the department to see what new has arrived. One LQS, otherwise have to travel 180 round trip...that would surely cut my spending down :(
In Jacksonville, TX, south of Tyler, we are supposed to be going to quarterial to rounds(?). Am I saying that right? No skiens of material to choose from, only small amounts. We signed a large petition which, of course, did no good at all.
One of my friends went to her local Walmart in Mesquite, TX last Saturday and all of the fabric is on sale because they're getting rid of it. She bought about 100 yards and said she only paid $1-$1.50 a yard. I'm going over there tomorrow morning to see what is left.
Okay, Ladies, think on this: More and more merchandise in WM is imported from China. Hmmmm, maybe China hasn't yet gone into production of fabrics, so WM is forced to buy domestic fabrics manufactured in this country, meaning WM does not make as much profit on it. So, until they can buy cheap imports from some other country, they will do away with U.S. produced items. Back in the 70's I lived in Arkansas and shopped at the very first WM in Springdale, AR. Mr. Sam Walton was alive and well, in control, and had the motto: "Buy American"! He didn't sell anything foreign unless it was unavailable or not produced in this Country. What happened to this ethic?Originally Posted by Jingleberry
I stopped at the WalMart in Coldwater MI on the way home from Indiana today. They still have the bolts, so I asked if they were keeping their department. I was told that there isn't a JoAnns close by so they would be keeping their fabric department. Not long after they built that store they went from bolts to the hanging fabric. (2 yd cuts) I wanted 2 1/2 yds and wasn't going to buy the extra just to get the 1/2 yard so they lost that sale. I told them I wouldn't buy precuts. I was one of the people that complained and I'm sure many others did because they went back to the bolts. Maybe if enough people complain about the cuts they will go back to bolts in other stores. This was sometime between 2000-2004 because I would stop at that WalMart everytime I would go visit my son at college.
We're lucky we still have fabric and a cutter.
The last time I went looking for white material and saw the above, I asked the salesclerk if she thought the fabric was 100% cotton and she said she didn't know. It felt really stiff, as if it had a lot of sizing on it. I liked the colors and would have bought a 5 yard cut (well a lot of 5 yard cuts, I would have shared with a friend lol) but did not want it if it was not 100% cotton. It says on the end that it is from unknown origin and unknown content. A lady wanted to buy 2 yards but was told she had to purchase the entire 5 yards and she declined it and left.Originally Posted by renee765
Another funny thing about this was the salesclerk told me someone asked her to measure it to make sure it was 5 yards and the clerk told her of course it was, it says 5 and the company wouldn't mark it as 5 if it wasn't. :roll:
That's not the case in our area. The first to go were the ones in places that didn't have other sources close. The one closest to a Hancock's and Hobby Lobby still has fabric.Originally Posted by mom-6
Well I can take that back.Originally Posted by texas granny

Everything hits eBay for auction at 8:30 pm tonight, but I will sell here if anyone wants to pay my asking price up front.
Only the big stuff:
A&G Framed Originals (1889 Eider Duck) - #'d 1/1 [B]($150)[/B]
Babe Ruth (Ext Mini 382) Yellow Printing Plate - #'d 1/1[B] ($100)
Madison Bumgarner RIP #'d 50/50 - Ripped into an Adrian Gonzalez EXT Mini (a break even I guess?) [B](Gonzo EXT $70)
Nik Wallenda Auto[B] ($35)[/B]
McKayla Maroney Framed Relic [B](SOLD)[/B]

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My son would love this! He is almost 40 , eats healthy....till it comes to anything bacon! You have given me a Christmas idea!
Oh, still better than chocolate covered ants!
The most extreme thing I have eaten chocolate covered is pretzels. I know, not very adventurous!
Next on my list of things to dip in chocolate is potato chips
You best not post your address here or we will all be making detours on our travels through Vegas to see you!!! Those look awesome!!! Are you planning on posting your recipes for all this chocolate goodness?????

I was going to say "wish we were neighbors" then I looked at your address and WE ARE!!!! At least we live in the same city!!!! I was just saying today that nothing smells better than bacon! Or tastes better either.
And I LOVE the idea of chocolate covered bacon!!! can't wait to try it...
