Great Lakes Ready to Reinvigorate the Brand
FEATURE ARTICLE | Close-Ups
Back when the vinyl window industry consisted largely of replacement window manufacturers and their dealers, one of the biggest names in the business was Great Lakes Window. Under new ownership since earlier this year, the Walbridge, OH, based manufacturer is looking to grab the spotlight once again.
In the '80s,
Despite numerous changes in leadership in recent years, "that emphasis never changed," Vetter continues. He disputes any suggestion that the
The new owner of
The new ownership is committed to the building products industry and the window and door business specifically, as is reflected in its more recent purchase of MW Windows (see news item on page 12), Vetter states. With regards to
Accelerating Innovation
The process has already started, he continues, pointing to the introduction of several new lines, including the Safe Haven impact window and the Premier luxury sliding door.
"We're committed to at least one major innovation a year," Vetter states, and he foresees the vinyl window maker delivering more than just that.
Ralph Pfeiffer, who recently joined
The consistent drive to produce higher quality windows with unique features has enabled
Promoting the
Selling Lifestyle
In the company's targeted high-end replacement segment, the message delivered is key, Vetter notes. "You're not just selling a window. You're selling a lifestyle. That really opens up a lot of opportunities when you talk about innovative features."
Baby Boomers and even the Gen-Xers who are now buying homes are much more demanding when it comes to products and much more receptive to "lifestyle" features, Vetter explains. "They want products that enhance their life. They want products they can show off to their friends. That's where we can really differentiate ourselves."
The Euroglide hardware on the new Great Lakes Premier patio door is an example of a "lifestyle" feature that Vetter expects will enable the manufacturer to capture the attention of many customers. When the handle is turned, the panel raises up and glides open and close with very little force. Not only can the homeowner get a multipanel door that can be enhanced with numerous decorative enhancements; he or she can see and feel a clear difference in how the door operates every time they open it.
Vetter sees many other lifestyle issues, such as enhanced security, that
Strength in Manufacturing
The infrastructure for developing and producing the enhanced product lines is certainly there, according to Vetter.
This operational strategy, which is related to lean manufacturing, emphasizes the concept of pulling raw materials and components through the process according to customer demand. In the
The company also places a great deal of emphasis on quality control, evidenced by the fact that
Looking to the Future
Vetter admits that changes in ownership have created some challenges for
And Ply Gem and its financial backers may not end there. "We're looking for growth in our core businesses and through acquisition," Vetter points out. Although it's not specifically in the market for additional window manufacturing operations, he says there's certainly an interest in "any and all opportunities."

Digging your company out of this recession will probably require some unconventional thinking. Most small businesses can't simply play it safe and expect to thrive, let alone survive.
Ira Blumenthal, author of Ready, Blame, Fire: Myths and Misses in Marketing, points out 10 common business myths that small business owners are too quick to believe in:
Myth 1: The future is out of our control. Blumenthal says business owners, instead, should live by the famous quote from the legendary Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, who said: "If you want to predict the future, create it."
Myth 2: Follow the leader. While it's always wise to learn from others, don't be content to remain in the middle of the pack. Become a leader yourself by following your own head and heart.
Myth 3: Bigger always means better. It's still a common belief in business that big crushes little. But "big" companies can also be inflexib...(register to read more)

This beautiful images was made in Marin County, outside of San Francisco, California. I can't help but think it was all in a fairytale.
She bought a little fish;
She put it in a crystal bowl
Upon a golden dish.
An hour she sat in wonderment
And watched its silver gleam,
And then she gently took it up
And slipped it in a stream.
A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a coloured bird;
It sang the sweetest, shrillest song
That ever she had heard.
She sat beside its painted cage
And listened half the day,
And then she opened wide the door
And let it fly away.
A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a winter gown
All stitched about with gossamer
And lined with thistledown.
She wore it all the afternoon
With prancing and delight,
Then gave it to a little frog
To keep him warm at night.
A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a gentle mouse
To take her tiny messages,
To keep her tiny house.
All day she kept its busy feet
Pit-patting to and fro,
And then she kissed its silken ears,
Thanked it, and let it go.

David Bowie's "Space Oddity," For Kids
I absolutely love karaoking David Bowie songs. "Life on Mars" ranks highly, but nothing is quite amazing as "Space Oddity." And now an illustrator named Andrew Kolb has made a picture book of the iconic song. And it's awesome! The story of Major Tom is available in PDF form now, but if there's enough demand Kolb will make a printed book. If he does, it will replace Goodnight Moon as the baby gift I always get for friends.

Government auditors today issued a report highly critical of the way the Federal Communications Commission handled some of the 454,000 complaints it received between 2003 and 2006 saying the agency needs to improve how it tracks and responds to consumer, safety and service complaints.
The FCC didn't like the report, issued by the Government Accountability Office, disagreeing with the way its research was conducted and saying it already has implemented measures to address concerns. The FCC fields complaints on everything from unsolicited calls and quality of telecommunications services to indecent broadcast materials and number portability.
The GAO acknowledged the FCC but said the actions it identified do not fully address the GAO's recommendations and laid partial blame on the FCC's use of five individual databases to track complaints.
"Limitations in FCC's current approach for collecting and analyzing enforcement data constitute the principal challenge FCC faces in providing complete and accurate information on its enforcement program. These limitations make it difficult to analyze trends; determine program effectiveness; allocate Commission resources; or accurately track and monitor key aspects of all complaints received, investigations conducted, and enforcement actions taken, "the GAO said.
According to the GAO, as of December 31, 2006, the FCC had processed almost 95% of the 454,000 complaints it received from 2003 through 2006. Of the 23,000 complaints that were not processed, about 84%, or 19,400, were pending for less than 1 year, and about 16%, or almost 3,600, were pending for 1 to 4 years. Most of the complaints that remained pending were potential The largest number of complaints alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), including violations of the do-not-call list request and telemarketing during prohibited hours and billing violations.Enforcement actions can help correct identified compliance problems and deter future noncompliance, the GAO stated.
The majority of the investigations conducted from 2003 through 2006, which totaled about 20,000, were potential violations regarding antenna lighting and structure requirements, junk faxes, domestic interference, and indecency. FCC took enforcement actions in about 1,300 of these investigations; admonishments, warnings, citations, and notices of violation were the primary actions taken.
FCC rarely relied on more serious enforcement actions, such as issuing an order to cease and desist. According to FCC, it takes several factors into account, such as the nature and extent of the violation and whether the violator had any history of prior offenses, before determining the type of enforcement action.
According to the GAO the FCC's Top 10 complaint list looks like this:
1. General solicitations (TPCA): Complaints regarding the receipt of unsolicited calls or messages for the purpose of encouraging the purchase, rental, or investment in property, goods, or services.
2. Billing and rates: Complaints regarding a number of issues, including airtime charges, roaming rates, credit, and refund adjustments.
3. Referral to government agencies/FCC offices/states: Complaints beyond FCC's jurisdiction, such as intrastate billing charges and expanded local calling service. Service related issues.
4. Complaints regarding the quality of services provided by cable, satellite, wireless, and wireline providers: Carrier marketing and advertising Complaints regarding advertising and marketing practices of carriers, including misrepresentation.
5. Programming issues: Complaints regarding programs, such as those that allegedly contain indecent, obscene, or profane material.6. Number portability: Complaints regarding the porting of telephone numbers from a wireline to a wireless carrier or the reverse.
7. Slamming: Complaints regarding the switching of a consumer's telephone services from one telephone company, or from one calling plan, to another.
8. Cramming: Complaints regarding unauthorized, misleading, or deceptive charges on a consumer's telephone bill for services and products.
9. Operator Service Provider issues: Complaints about a common carrier that provides services from public phones, including payphones, and those in hotels or motels.
10. All other complaints: Complaints such as those regarding connection to cable service, closed captioning of video programs, digital subscriber lines, and may also include consumer inquiries.
According to FCC, it assessed fines and negotiated payments through consent decrees, which totaled about $73 million from 2003 through 2006, and has collected about $53 million, or 72%. However, the amount of the fines and payments negotiated through consent decrees decreased, from about $25 million in 2003 and $26 million in 2004, to almost $11 million in 2005 and $12 million in 2006-a decrease of more than 50%.
According to an FCC Enforcement Bureau senior official, the phasing out of carrier interLATA rules (section 271) complaints may have contributed to this decrease. FCC staff also stated that the amount of fines and negotiated payments through consent decrees totaled about $43 million in 2007.
The FCC's Enforcement Bureau periodically reviews some of its enforcement program outputs to determine how well it is doing in certain areas but does not use its data to evaluate the outcomes of its enforcement efforts. The Enforcement Bureau's ability to assess the impact of its enforcement program is limited because it does not have a well-defined enforcement strategy, specific enforcement goals, or performance measures. We have previously reported that a key element in an organization's efforts to manage for results is its ability to select meaningful performance goals and measures, the GAO stated.
Without these key management tools, FCC faces challenges in managing its enforcement program and in fully assuring Congress and other stakeholders that it is meeting its enforcement mission and related objectives of the Act, which include protecting the consumer, ensuring public safety, and encouraging competition.

Educators help Kaiser understand Afghan refugee mental health issues
- April 2, 2010 10:00am
Two experts on issues affecting Afghan refugees in the Bay Area, Carl Stempel, associate professor of sociology and social services, and Valerie Smith, lecturer in communication and facilitator for the Afghan Health Leadership Consortium, were invited by Kaiser Permanente to educate health care professionals on issues specific to treating Afghan refugees living in the Bay Area.
Their recommendations, based on their recently completed research projects in the local Afghan community, include:
- Having trained bilingual and culturally sensitive health care providers
- Emphasizing confidentiality
- Showing sensitivity to strong cultural ties, such as those to the family
- Screening routinely for Post-traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD)
- Preparing individualized treatment plans
- Tips on utilizing the American health care system
- Having an increased number of culturally-appropriate organized exercise programs
- Being watchful for symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning
Rona Popal, executive director of the Afghan Coalition, and Millie Gerhart, a retired registered nurse, spoke of carbon monoxide poisoning among refugees from unvented stoves in Afghanistan and the resulting learning disabilities.
Stempel's initial report is available from him by at email@example.com; Smith's general recommendations report is at http://csueastbay-dspace.calstate.edu/handle/10211.5/9

Read Language Intelligence: Lessons on Persuasion from Jesus, Shakespeare, Lincoln and Lady Gaga, by Joseph Romm. It is a fascinating study of the neglected art of rhetoric.
If words are the bricks of speeches, rhetoric is the mortar and the scaffolding that converts them into something powerful, memorable and capable of moving masses and standing for ages untold.
Rhetoric, as Romm points out, explains how Churchill rallied a small island nation to stand alone in the breach of history against an evil tide.
It explains how Lincoln healed a nation.
It explains why the words of a poor carpenter spoken some 2000 years ago, still resonate today.
It explains why the King Jame's bible, compiled by more than four dozen translators and a dozen writers, reads seamlessly and is the source of so many of the world's most common figures of speech.
It explains why a 16th Century middle class kid from a middle-sized city grew up to write plays that will be quoted and watched for as long as we exist.
Rhetoric also explains why Lady Gaga has some 20 million Twitter followers, and why her lyrics appeal across generations.
And Joe Romm's Language Intelligence explains rhetoric.
Taking the reader on journey covering 25 centuries of knowledge, Romm breathes life into language. The book itself is a joy to read, because the author practices what he preaches.
But if Language Intelligence explains why progressives lose, it also tells us why conservatives are doing so well.
The practice of rhetoric is simple, but not easy. This is only a partial recipe, but here are the main ingredients:

Eight Jamaica orphans need help after parents gunned down
(Jamaica Observer) SAVANNA-LA-MAR, Westmoreland – THE eight children who were left orphaned after their parents were killed in their presence during a brutal attack by gunmen at their Dalling Street, Savanna-La-Mar, home last week Wednesday night are now in desperate need of financial and other forms of support.
The dead parents have been identified as 33-year-old Rosemarie Wilson, also called 'Wendy' and Junior Pilliner, otherwise called 'Tyan', a 44-year-old farmer. The common-law couple have left behind children, whose ages range from four to 19 years. Two men have since been taken into custody by detectives who are probing the bizarre incident. But up to yesterday, the police were awaiting legal representation for the duo, before conducting a question and answer session.
When the Jamaica Observer West visited the Dalling Street residence earlier this week, five of the children were in school, leaving Alrick Pilliner, 19, two of his brothers, aged four and five respectively, at home where bereaved relatives and friends were seen with grief etched on their faces. They conceded that providing financial support for the children will prove to be very challenging. But they pledged to do their utmost to care for them.
"Only dem (siblings) alone mi worried about, but mi will push out the same effort my father push out to make them alright," vowed the deceased eldest child, Alrick, also called 'Deno', who is a mason.
"By the help of God mi a go take care of them because mi a hard-working person."
His aunt, Janice Pilliner also pledged her full support for her nieces and nephews.
"Mi in charge of them now. I understand my responsibility will be big, but I will work with it. The main objective is to see to it that they go to school, send them to church and focus on them to ensure they are comfortable," the distraught aunt told the Observer West.
Vivene Malcolm, another relative, in the meantime, said she would like assistance for the relocation of the orphans.
"Mi would a want somebody give them a nice little house spot and build them a nice little room. Even me husband could come in and do the carpenter work and so. But mi no want them stay here so," Malcolm expressed.
Marlene Slater Daley, another aunt, chipped in: "As much assistance that we could get, especially towards the kids would be good."
She lamented that the tragic incident has left her in a state of shock.
"All now it is like a dream to know that they kill the two parents, leaving eight kids. I can't come to it right now," she bemoaned.
In the meantime, Alrick recounted the events leading up to the gruesome death of his parents and two close brushes he had with death when the gunmen came to the little wooden shack the family of 10 occupy.
He reflected that about 11:45 pm last week Wednesday he went outside in response to someone who was calling his 18-year-old brother.
According to Alrick, when he got outside he was confronted by a man who tried to "shoot me four times but each time the gun stuck."
Fearing for his life, he said, he dashed back inside the house and hurriedly pushed the door shut. But his defiant attackers started to kick in the door.
By then, he said, his mother came to his assistance and started to brace the door to keep out the armed intruders.
The attackers responded by firing at the house.
"One of the bullets grazed a finger on my left hand," he recalled.
His mother, however, was not so lucky.
She was hit by another bullet and immediately collapsed on a bed behind the door.
Alrick said his father who was asleep was awoken by the commotion, and was shot in his head by the gunmen, who fired wildly before leaving.
The parents were later pronounced dead at hospital.
Earlier this week, members of a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Westmoreland, a political representative, counsellors and representatives from the Child Development Agency (CDA) visited the bereaved family, in a bid to provide much-needed support.
Last week's double murder pushed the murder tally in Westmoreland to six since the start of the year.
In 2013, 89 homicides were recorded in the parish.

No, not Cal Ripken:
President Barack Obama tapped federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court on Tuesday, officials said, making her the first Hispanic in history picked to wear the robes of a justice.
If confirmed by the Senate, Sotomayor, 54, would succeed retiring Justice David Souter. Two officials described Obama's decision on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement had been made.
For those who missed my previous post on the subject, Sotomayor is the judge who in 1995 issued the preliminary injunction against Major League Baseball preventing the owners from unilaterally implementing a new Collective Bargaining Agreement and using replacement players, effectively ending the 1994 baseball strike.
Guns? Gays? Abortion? Torture? Who cares! The next Supreme Court justice is pro-baseball, and that's good enough for me!

ARCHAEOLOGISTS are digging deep to try and discover a hidden tower at the site of a former castle.
Wrexham Heritage Service is carrying out an archaelogical dig at Holt Castle, with all that remains above ground from the 13th century site being the central courtyard.
The castle was built in 1282 by John de Warenne following the defeat of Llewelyn Ap Gruffydd.
The impressive structure was pentagonal in plan with five huge round towers surrounding a central courtyard.
Following the castle's abandonment in the mid-17th century, the site was used as a stone quarry and all that remains today above ground is the courtyard.
But last year, archaeologists discovered the buried foundations of one of the towers to the west of the courtyard, together with traces of the former entrance tower and the surrounding rock cut ditch.
This year excavators Eleri Farley and Steve Grenter hope to see if any of the towers survived on the eastern side of the castle.
Stephen Grenter, Wrexham Council's heritage service manager, said: "All the evidence suggests that Holt Castle was once one of the strongest castles in the country.
"However, if you visit today there is little surviving above ground that reflects its former grandeur.
"By revealing the remains of its massive defences we hope to make the site much more meaningful to the many people who visit the castle every year."
There will be an open morning at the site on Saturday, June 7, from 10am to noon, with site tours and a chance to look at some of the finds.
The excavations at Holt have been staffed by volunteers, including Marlene Ayling and Sue Payne.
They have received funding through the Rural Development Plan for Wales, funded by the Welsh Government, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and from Cadw's Welsh Historic Monuments.

In a recent interview from Startup Grind in Mountain View, California, Jared Booye from Zumeo Designs chats with Murray Newlands about why the aesthetic of your startup is such an integral part of your company's success.
To find out more, watch the full interview below:
These are some key takeaways from the video:
- Zumeo Designs is a design firm based in Silicon Valley that works with a lot of startups to make sure that their design is perfectly tailored for the company and its mission.
- Jared explains that a lot of people take the element of the visual first impression for granted, because although your product may be an incredible tool, people won't want to use it if it doesn't look good.
- For Jared, a quality design is synonymous with a great user experience and ease of use. He says that users interact and engage with a product in order to make their lives easier, more productive, and more efficient and if your product does this, chances are you have a good design.

Three jailed charged with lottery ticket theft
Three men jailed at Walhalla are charged with stealing a rack of lottery tickets from a store near Salem. Oconee sheriff's officers made the arrests in their investigation of a burglary at Little River General Store on the Alexander Road. The tickets carry a value of nearly $7 thousand. Those arrested and charged were identified by the Sheriff's Office as Walhalla residents Jon Conner Wacaster, 18, accessory before the fact of a felony; Devin Ian McCrackin, 19, second degree burglary and grand larceny; and Richard Lewis Rittmayer, 27, second degree burglary and grand larceny. Wacaster and McCrackin are also accused of what the Sheriff's Office called "the intent to defraud the South Carolina Education Lottery" by trying to cash tickets at two other stores.

Improvements at Fowler Road and South Carolina 11
A work project is causing traffic delay at a rural Oconee intersection, but once the improvements are in place the expectation is Fowler Road and South Carolina 11 near West Union will be safer. And that's good news for motorists, nearby residents and, especially, the public schools. The intersection is a main turn for buses and other traffic bound for Walhalla Elementary School. Officials tell 96.3/WGOG NEWS the work there is a project involving both the DOT and the Oconee School District. State Senator Thomas Alexander, Walhalla Republican, is among those gratified that traffic lights and turn lanes are finally coming to 11 and Fowler Road. Dr. Michael Thorsland, superintendent of Oconee public schools, said paving should be finished in a few days and he's hopeful the lights will be installed and working by the time the new school year starts August 18.

V Magazine is quickly proving to be one of the top fashion mags in the biz (along with Interview Magazine, moreso indirectly). This month's issue is a shot across the bow of other magazines primarily because the reigning queen (and king if you are to believe some salacious rumors) of Facebook is splashed all across the pages of V Magazine wearing Lady Liberty's clothing. Lady Gaga went into the Statue of Liberty's closet and stole her look for what would appear to be a pretty penny. Decked out in the latest in couture, Lady Gaga is accompanied by none other than fashion wunderkind himself Marc Jacobs. He's pushing her in a cart he's admiring her from a far, he's suited up to go wherever a designer like Marc Jacobs would take a celebrity like Lady Gaga.
The Lady Gaga / Marc Jacobs fest of V hits newsstands today so pick yourself up a copy.

Three innovative programs under way at the U-MDearborn School of Education were discussed at the regents meeting on the Dearborn campus last week.
John Poster, dean of the Dearborn campus School of Education, outlined enrollment growth in a masters degree program aimed at career changers who hope to become high school teachers. Since the program was launched last fall, it has enrolled 94 students.
The master of arts in teaching degree program was developed to help southeast Michigan school districts, which are experiencing a shortage of qualified teachers, particularly at the secondary school level, Poster said. Our program can help deal with the shortage because people who are career changers can keep their current jobs while completing the requirements for teacher certification, since we offer the courses in the evenings and on weekends.
Another project at the Dearborn School of Education has received a federal grant of $363,000 from the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education to help future science teachers integrate major concepts and action research into their classrooms. Gail Luera, assistant professor of science education, described the program that focuses on big ideas in science, such as energy and scale and structure, and how they are presented in different scientific disciplines.
Working with current teachers in actual classrooms, U-MDearborn students will assess what elementary students know about a big idea in science, identify some of their misconceptions, develop plans to lead students to the correct concepts and assess the impact on students learning.
Through this process, I think our own students will identify their own misconceptions, Luera said. I think the best way to find out if you know something, I mean really know it, is to try to develop a lesson and teach it.
The third innovative U-MDearborn project discussed at the regents meeting will benefit from two federal grants totaling $3.1 million to provide future teachers at all levels with the skills, knowledge and confidence to integrate information technology into classroom teaching and learning, according to Mesut Duran, assistant professor of instructional technology.
To meet the needs of 21st-century learners, new teachers must be proficient in technology, but only 20 percent of new teachers feel well prepared, Duran said. This is a big challenge for schools of education, which are viewed as the most direct and cost-effective way to prepare the approximately two million new teachers who will be entering the profession in the next decade.
The program includes professional development activities for preservice teachers, inservice teachers, and education faculty focused on telecommunication tools, productivity tools and educational multimedia. These projects will be used to improve the preparation future teachers receive during the practice teaching assignments, particularly in schools serving low-income students, Duran said. One benefit will be to help decrease the digital divide in educational technology by focusing on underserved school districts.

Owner of Cabiria and Peasant, Jamie Webb, is extending his empire and opening a venue with Sydney's Shady Pines Saloon supremo Jason Scott.
The venue is the salubrious Velvet Cigar in Caxton Street, an ex-strip club. Webb and Scott are mates from way back, when they worked together at Libertine in Sydney.
"I love what he does and wanted to put together something saloon-style with food," Webb says.
The notorious venue hasn't always had such a shady past. It started life as a Friendly Society hall then a United Brothers Lodge. Arranged over two floors, it seats 300 and Webb has plans to have live music, craft beer, "good bourbon and tequila" and a bar menu that takes its influence from the deep south, with dishes like blackened catfish and popcorn shrimp.
"It's a very cool space," Webb says. "We're just doing some cosmetic stuff, but we're able to reuse a lot of things like the great old bar stools - they're just perfect for what we want."
As yet, the venture has no name, but Webb says they're looking at basing it on something from its history (not, presumably it's more recent history). The pair hope to open the saloon by April.

I'm reasonably familiar with SSAX, and have not used it with scsh, SISC and PLT Scheme. I haven't used it because (as it turned out) in each case either the native XML support or something handcrafted could provide what I needed, and I thus avoided a dependency. That speaks more (as it happened) to modest XML needs in each of those cases, than to any overwhelmingly good native support. My occasional very funky XML needs have been catered for by either XSLT (ugh, boke) or lots and lots of Java (ugh); in each case the decision was also a function of whom I was sharing the code with. That's why I've chosen to use Racket's built-in XML parser/writer in this case. That said, the provision of clements/sxml2 looks like it could swing the balance towards regarding SSAX as the 'always available' XML module for Racket.

As It Turns Out, 'Ed TV' (1999) Was Eerily Prophetic About The Future of Reality Television
After watching Ron Howard 1999 adaptation of film Louis 19, called 'Ed TV', I was struck at how everything that is today's reality television, was laid out years before!
Whether it's 'Honey Boo Boo', 'Housewives of…' or even 'Duck Dynasty', the premise and execution is weirdly similar to 'EdTV'. The movie stars Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Elfman, Woody Harrelson, Ellen DeGeneres, Martin Landau, Rob Reiner, Sally Kirkland, Elizabeth Hurley, Clint Howard, and Dennis Hopper.
EDtv starts off with the television channel True TV commencing interviews for a TV show that shows a normal person's life 24/7. This idea was thought up by a TV producer named Cynthia (Ellen DeGeneres). They interview Ed Pekurny (Matthew McConaughey) and his brother, Ray (Woody Harrelson). When the producers see the interview Cynthia decides to use Ed and interviews only Ed. So now they start airing the show, which they call Ed TV. The show is a total failure at first, as only boring things happen and the main producers want to pull the plug, except for Cynthia.
However, Ed TV suddenly gets interesting on Day 3 when Ed visits Ray. Ed (along with the cameramen) discovers that Ray is cheating on his girlfriend Shari (Jenna Elfman). Ed then visits Shari to apologize to her for Ray's actions. Shari is very drunk and starts insulting Ray, by talking to the camera. She makes everyone laugh and gasp by saying "Ray was a bad lay." Ed tries to comfort Shari, and he reveals he has feelings for her. She then reveals she has feelings for Ed as well. They slowly move their faces closer and finally kiss each other. Ed then locks out the camera crew and proceeds to passionately kiss Shari for a while. Ed TV suddenly becomes extremely popular. On Cynthia's insistence, Ed starts a relationship with Shari, which is short lived as Ed grows more interested in staying on TV and Shari is abused by viewers who find her unappealing. -Wiki
The cameras become more and more invasive, the skeletons in the family's closets pop out and fame and fortune turn bitter as Ed sees the covers pulled off family secrets. Sound familiar? Look at any so-called reality show today and see the effects on the personal lives of those involved; it's a blessing and a curse.
Though it was a commercial flop at the box office, 'Ed TV' endures as an example of life imitating art, to the point that you will find yourself checking off the list of 'real' reality stars tragedies and scandals that actually happened while you watch the movie.

Stevie Wonder unhappy about Lil Wayne's Emmett Till reference
Stevie Wonder is calling out Lil Wayne for his reference to Emmett Till in the Future song "Karate Chop."
Till was a black teenager who was killed in 1955 for whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. Lil Wayne had a line in "Karate Chop" that compared a rough sex act to Till's death.
Wonder says Lil Wayne needs to have someone around him to tell him, "Don't do that." He says, "Imagine if that happened to your mother, brother, daughter or your son. How would you feel?"
Epic Records has taken down the song and promises the official version will not contain the reference.

I don't know how much longer I can tolerate this. My body is telling me it wants to give up. My mind doesn't know what to do anymore.
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
I feel your struggle. Even though I have been good living life and all it just happens and then BOOM I get hit with another seizure. I just had my 5th one in 2 years even though my Dilantin was in a normal range. My neuro pretty much gave up and said "I recommend you go here..." and "try this..."...just stay strong you can pull through it. I don't think its your body saing to give up but more your mind...the frustrating effects of everything playing with your head. I thought I was fine and had a tonic clonic in my bathroom and sliced my forehead and had to get 8 stitches so for me at least its more like what more can I take?
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
A lot of people on this group have gone thru a lot of stresses which make me feel not alone. I have been in my apt. and had a seizure and woke up running in the neighborhood. I contacted the Neurologist and he changed in his office and changed medication. It happened again and changed again and it never happened again. I had several things happen in my life that a lot of us can say no more...The Neurologist or Epileptologist, nurses, family, friends that support us make things liveable.
I also have problems dealing w/ the respiratory system and at one time cardiac system too. I learned to contacted my physicians patiently. He only gives us what we can handle! ( who stated that?)
I wish you the best on your heart surgery!
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
peace R.C. HEY! Michael remember no angry outbursts BEFORE heart surgery!
The seizures seem to be aggravated about that also !
I "FEEL" that bathroom ,also spent years remodeling my bathroom in beautiful porcelain, little tiles ,then got into a funny habit of awaking before my final r.e.m. cycle and sitting on a toilet and going into a panic state then a full 20-30 min gran-mal LOL ! My former spouse started locking the door at night lol so I would walk into the huge ,solid, handmade oak door repeatedly until they awoke LOL ALWAYS hurting myself on the door BUT never seriously in the bathroom ??? Hindsight ,I should have spent that time "padding" that bathroom not learning tile laying and making lol SO-LUCKY- BTW I worked every day after those episodes ,whether I was cut,bruised or sore or confused? TUFF or STUPID you decide!
I "FEEL" you screaming and in fact because of the E-weirdness I "FEEL" it in purple and pink LOL but no joke!
You should know by now that those doc's are not going to let you go into sz. during that surgery , right? if not ask someone!
Where do I take this ? I could go on and on about all the bad things life has thrown at me and how until recently I accepted them with a smile and always to seem to bounce back with an even bigger smile !
I am really poor at accepting and facing my issues AND FORGETTING my problems at the moment AND I have no idea WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ! BUT I HAVE NOT JUST GIVEN UP! and have no intentions on doing that either WHY? Because then some silly issue like some electrical problems in my brain or something they call ???depression has BEAT ME! before I even figured it out! cheap shot -I like to think I am SMARTER THAN THAT!
WHERE ELSE? Could go on and on with all the bar stories I have about the several 100 stitches I have in my body,head AND how they got there and even how my first gran-mals started LOL that one is scary. Do I end up sounding like a tuff-guy? a survivor? OR A BIG IDIOT? YOU DECIDE?
You have managed to think your way from the northern cold to what you described as the beauty of Japan doing a job you like because you like it . Your screaming now because you are frustrated by your body ,not by any real decisions or fault of your own ,RIGHT! Then why give up over a few simple issues like this !
I had a chat the other night with 3 females under the age of 24 and figured out between the 3 they were each missing a 1/2 a brain and took about 5,000 mgs of pills A DAY! WOW so only a brain AND HALF and enough pills to kill a street addict and they were all still having seizures!!!! WOW !
That made that next 24 hrs of constant freak show -AURA I have been living lately seem pretty MILD ! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN - you decide????
Could go on and on rather with the the really good things I have managed to obtain in my life even though I started with nothing and have nothing now I was happy about it. I have no perfect answers but I do understand how simple it all is ! TRUE ashes to ashes -dust to dust for me! our legacy is not much more than the room on our headstones and OUR CHILDREN ! K.I.S.S. principles apply here.
I also believe I told you that I would hold your hand before,during and after that surgery or even through the next seizures you have ,RIGHT! That was and is true and about all I have !
Well actually we would make you something like a homemade card some banana bread and hang out and let you do what ever you needed to do for as long as it took to feel a little less frustrated ! Even though I am a bit frustrated myself ! ME and my DAUGHTER would do that just ? because! and to prove there are still a lot of good ,real folks left on the planet is why I guess lol.
I am at a cross roads in life myself but will go on and try to keep it straight and simple why? I have no idea right now actually ?maybe for the same reasons I did all the radical things I used to do ,just to be different or to prove them wrong! I guess?
But my own bit of confusion and frustration right now will go on hold WHY?
Because I AM BUSY HOLDING YOUR HAND - brother-sir-Michael- and as long as we BOTH do not have a T.C. sz. at the same time WE should be O.K. RIGHT -YOU DECIDE and keep on screaming and acting fidgety if you need to BUT remember that all that frustration causes seizures and heart problems. Keep it up . Rick Wichita Kansas

Thanks!!! Karen
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
I am right there with ya! I am having a difficult time with medications and not being able to drive. I am 27 and have gran mal and petimal seizures I have had 3 gran mal in past 2 years which isn't bad to some but my first one was 2 years ago and they came out of nowhere. Some days I just feel like I am a burden to others and can never have "my time" or go anywhere without someone taking me. This so far is the only site that helps me realize there are others feeling the same way and I am not alone. Some days are harder than the rest just to get out of bed with the constant worrying of having another seizure, how you are going to get around for the day, what your moods/side effects will be from meds just constant worry and fear. Let me know if you find anything that helps you because I am struggling with everyday life right now too!!
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
Yeah I hear you. The hardest part for me has been coping with the fact I may have this the rest of my life and it may be uncontrollable. Many neuros have told me it is controllable but a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville said once you are on 3 meds and have seizures on all 3 then their is a less than 10% chance any med would control them. That is what I fear most. I also fear just the effects of the meds--they seem to really change people and I worry if I ever do get off I will not "be the same".
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
please be strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a caregiver to my 4 year old , he can't tell me whats going onhe doesn't talk, so i understand feeling alone withlife.
Your not!!! i
I will talk with you anytime.
Keep your chin up
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
Are you taking the brand name Dilantin or generic? When I was switched to the generic ( 10 years ago, I had a GM) Ever since I have been back on the brand, Im sz free.
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
I am on the generic version of Dilantin but have been on it for a year and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I have also heard that a dozen new drugs have come out that are more potent which is why I am looking to swtich. My doctor wants to switch me to Trileptal (?) I have tried both Lamictal and Keppra with not very pleasant side effects as I would cry randomly and be overly emotional.
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
Just stick with it and stay positive. I had my first seizure at 17 and I'm now 31 and will be heading in for surgery either next month or October for a dense grid placement to find the spot and hopefully be able to remove. On average I have one a week over a year's time frame. It is difficult at first but you'll work it through. Life is tougher not being able to drive, but you'll find a way. During my first couple years I probably would have been worried about brain surgery but at the moment I'm excited, because I have the hope of eliminating or significantly reducing them.
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
Michael, I just want to let you know that you having meaning. You and the others on chat really helped me figure out what to talk to the doctors about and not to be scared about Addisons e. Keep your head up and think about all the good things in your life. Like your friends on this site! :)
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
I'm whole-heartedly with you...It is so difficult, this "living with Epilepsy". I was diagnosed when I was a kid. Had some petit-mal seizures in my 4th grade class. I was one of the "lucky" ones because my teacher had a child with absence seizures so she knew right away that I wasn't ingoring her in class. My parents got me on meds right away. So, I lived on Depakote and Depakene until I was 17 or 18....right around my first menstral cycle. It messed up my life so badly, I'm not ashamed to say that I've thought about suicide alot. I gained ALOT of weight with the Depakote. So my position in high school was the overweight and "the smart girl". Two combinations that don't really go together well when you're trying hard to fit in.
My first Grand Mal happened when I started college. Ya that was a blast!!! I was lucky again tho because I had my best friend with me when it happened. Scared the crap out of her, that's for sure! lol
In 2006, my neurologist and I weren't having much luck with getting my seizures under control. I was at the "max dosage" of Lamictal and was taking Keppra. Nothing was working. I'd go a few days, weeks, maybe even months, but I was still seizing (Grand Mals, Petit Mals, and Complex Partials). So, together we decided to try the VNS implant. I was so excited because it was touted as this "miracle"...that it would give me control and that I'd be able to get off meds all together (that was the big one for me...I hate taking meds). I had the surgery but haven't seen any improvement.
As a matter of fact, I've seen an increase in my seizures in the past few years. I have an endless battle with epilepsy and depression. I have a new doc (I moved to Las Vegas 2 yrs ago). I have only visited him once but I don't really have much faith. I told him about increase in seizures, not sleeping well, and having more frequency of seizures during my menstral cycle. All he would do is give me some Ambien. He didn't check my VNS, he didn't really spend much time with me at all. His office was crazy busy because there are only 2 docs.
So, here I am. I'm unemployed. Living in my parent's apartment. Have finally had to make the hardest decision ever, I've applied for SSI disability. I've never wanted to go the Epilepsy as a disability route but now I have to and honestly, it makes me even more depressed! Some days, I don't want to do anything. No going outside or even get out of bed.
I found this site and it is heaven sent---because I see that people are experiencing the same things I am. Makes me feel a little less "freakish". I feel I can talk with you all and you'll understand what I'm trying to say. That's a blessing, it truly is! Maybe things aren't as bad as I feel they are, maybe I can get some perspection on exactly what Epilepsy does to a person.
You know what I miss the most? Driving! The simple pleasure of being able to go somewhere whenever I want to. Not having to beg for rides. Not having to wait around for the person to pick me up or drop me off. I miss that every single day.
I truly hope, MichealK, that your surgery is a success! I will pray for your speedy recovery.
Everyone, I want to put this out to you all.....Take care of you! Be safe! And try not to stress yourselves out! Keri
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
Wow, you just duplicated my epilepsy history almost to the tee. (Mine started at 23.) My VNS has not seen any results either. I'm still on to much medicine. The job, driving, everything. Yes, I do get sick of seizures! This site is a good coping tool. As a matter of fact I just signed on because of being over whelmed/depressed. We will keep going though and we will make it through this. Thank you.
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
Listen... I know I might be young, I'm seventeen, but I do know what it's like. I was accused of having a learning disability before I was diagnosed because I was having so many absence seizures. I was offically diagnosed at fifteen. I've tried many medications, I've skipped medication doses as well because I wanted to be "normal". Only left me with scars and stitches. I got overwhelmed very quickly because I was balancing school, seizures, and my life in general... I admit I tried to commit suicide and it isn't worth it... if you need someone to talk to PLEASE email me, I've got a good ear and I'm more than willing to listen... email@example.com
Re: Sick: Sick of seizures, sick of my life
Hey there ... Its always one fight till the next.
You're in the right place ... we're all tired more than words could justify
if you need to, and i hope you do

DID OBAMA MAKE DEAL WITH IRAN? / ´Surprised´ Turkey says U.S. dropping ball on Syria (WND-WORLD NET DAILY) By Aaron Klein JERUSALEM, Israel 04/05/12)
Source: http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/did-obama-make-deal-with-iran/
WND} WORLD NET DAILY Articles-Index-Top
JERUSALEM Turkey has been surprised by a sudden behind-the-scenes change in attitude from the Obama administration regarding the embattled regime of Turkish foe Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Turkish diplomatic sources told WND.
The sources said that while U.S. rhetoric against Assad remains strong, the Obama administration is suddenly dropping the ball by supporting a NATO campaign against Assad. The sources said the U.S. is suddenly scaling back material support for the Syrian opposition.
The Turkish sources said Turkey and the Syrian opposition are disappointed with the change in attitude, which they claim comes without any diplomatic justification from U.S. officials.
Get Aaron Kleins Red Army: The Radical Network that must be defeated to save America from WNDs Superstore
The sources said some Turkish officials believe Obama may have made a deal with Syria or Iran.
Just last week, WND quoted informed Middle Eastern officials saying Obama has been engaged in secret, back-channel talks with Iran in which he informed Tehrans leaders he is completely opposed to any Israeli strike on Irans nuclear facilities.
The officials told WND the behind-the-scenes talks aim to secure a guarantee from Iran that it will not retaliate against the U.S. in the event of an Israeli military strike, the officials said.
It was unclear what, if anything, Obama offered Iran in exchange for a pledge against targeting U.S. installations, including in the Gulf.
The State Department did not immediately return a WND request seeking comment on the alleged back-door talks.
Assad, meanwhile, continued his military crackdown on the well-armed opposition targeting his regime. Syrian troops reportedly clashed with army defectors and shelled rebel districts in the central city of Homs yesterday, with claims at least 11 civilians were killed.
The move came just one day after the government claimed it had begun a troop withdrawal ahead of the April 10 deadline to implement an international truce plan.
Russia yesterday warned other nations not to arm the Syrian opposition, saying it would only escalate hostilities.
Even if they arm the Syrian opposition to the teeth, it wont be able to defeat the Syrian army, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was quoted as saying. The carnage will go on for many years.
WND previously reported on claims from Egyptian security officials outlining what they said was large scale international backing for the rebels attacking Assads embattled regime including arms and training from the U.S., Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. (© 2012 WorldNetDaily.com, Inc. 04/05/12)

I have used m0n0wall 1.2b8 as a home router/firewall for some months
now and it rocks - thanks to all who have put the time and effort into
this great package!
Now I'm trying to use m0n0wall (v. 1.2b9) in a slightly more complex
network environment and I'm having some trouble. Here's what I have:
WAN: Connected directly to a public network and assigned a static IP
address, 216.150.xxx.xxx/25. DNS servers are on the LAN side, not WAN.
LAN: Connected to my primary private network and assigned a static IP
address, 10.1.1.27/24. My DNS servers are on the LAN side serving out
private addresses needed to access various servers, etc, which must be
available network-wide. The private LAN has a separate router and
OPT1: A wireless network that I want to remain largely discrete. OPT1
is configured with 192.168.1.x/24 addresses. m0n0wall is acting as a
DHCP server for clients on the OPT1 interface and DNS forwarding is
WAN 216.150.xxx.xxx/25
m0n0wall - - - - - - private LAN = 10.1.1.27/24 - - - - - private DNS &
other servers 10.1.1.xxx/24
OPT1 (wireless network)
I have a two static routes configured:
LAN 10.1.1.0/24 10.1.1.1 (default gateway for the
private network)
LAN 192.168.1.0/25 192.168.1.1 (static IP of OPT1 interface)
Traffic to the private LAN interface must appear as a 10.1.x IP so I do
not want all outbound traffic NATed to the WAN interface. I have
enabled Advanced Outbound NAT and setup two rules:
WAN 192.168.1.0/24 10.1.1.0/24 10.1.1.27 (private LAN IP
WAN 192.168.1.0/25 ! 10.1.1.0/25 216.150.xxx.xxx (public
WAN IP address)
No Proxy ARP rules are in place.
I suspect the static routes and outbound NAT entries are wrong. I can
ping hosts on any interface from the m0n0wall console, no problem. I
can also connect to WAN servers from OPT1 clients, which is great.
However, I can not connect to LAN servers from OPT1 clients, which is
crucial. This is what I need help with - looking at the "ipnat -lv"
output on the status.php page, I can see that MAP/Redirect filters look
like they should be working, BUT all the active sessions from the OPT1
interface have NAT mappings from 216.150.xxx.xxx, even when they should
be going to the LAN. How can I change this so that traffic from OPT1 to
LAN has a 10.1.1.x IP and is directed to the correct interface?
I have spent about a day reading the m0n0wall documentation and list
archives and trying various combinations but I can't get past this. I'm
stumped. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Cannon Design has unveiled its proposal for a mixed-use Cancer Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Originally envisioned as a "private hospital serving patients that can afford a high quality of health care," the project transformed into a partnership between the public and private sector after preliminary feasibility studies determined the price of the site to be prohibitively high.
Thus, the project expanded to become a mixed-use complex with ownership shared between socially minded city government and private investors.

Normally, our fashion sense typically leans on what they put together for us to wear and whatnot... but we don't have the stylists on the level of the SELENA GOMEZ.
It must be asked, however, what exactly IS THIS which SELENA is wearing?
Um... wow.

Detroit, Michigan (AFP) Jan 15, 2013
The green car market is only inching along in the United States, hampered by high comparative costs and limited ranges on pure electric vehicles, but automakers remain confident their time will come.
"Everybody thinks that everybody else should be driving a green car," said Dave Sergeant, an auto analyst with JD Power.
Automakers have launched a host of hybrids and electric vehicles in recent years with huge fanfare in response to political pressure from the Obama administration to improve fuel economy drastically.
But lower emission vehicles are still struggling to find their public, winning over just 3.5 percent of US sales last year, with about 500,000 vehicles sold.
That is perhaps one reason why they were not a prominent part of this year's Detroit auto show, where luxury brands, pickups and performance dominated new vehicle launches.
"It's getting better every year but there's a very slow adoption rate," said Jesse Toprak, an analyst with the specialty site TrueCar.com.
Hybrids have overcome the initial fears many consumers had about the reliability of a new technology.
However, few are willing to swap to alternatives like a pure electric, compressed natural gas or hydrogen fuel cells that could strand them on the side of the road if they get too far from a filling station or electrical outlet, Sergeant said.
"Consumers are terrified by the range issue," he told AFP.
Cost is another major concern as consumers "tend to have a poor ability to do the math in terms of what they're going to pay and what they're going to save" on a hybrid, he said.
And even with big tax breaks, the $30,000 to $40,000 price tag for a plug-in electric Chevy Volt or fully electric Nissan Leaf is also off-putting.
Nissan responded to poor sales of its pioneering Leaf by slashing the price Monday by about $6,000, which would bring it down to as little as $18,800 in some US locations, once tax breaks are considered.
Leaf's US sales rose just 1.5 percent to 9,819 vehicles in 2012, far below Nissan's target of doubling sales in its second year on the market.
Global sales rose 20 percent, well below Nissan's target of a 50 percent increase.
"It's a disappointment," admitted Nissan-Renault chief Carlos Ghosn.
General Motors managed to triple the sales of its plug-in electric Volt to nearly 23,500 vehicles last year, but that remains well below the largest US automaker's target of 35,000.
"Unless gas prices go up to five to six dollars a gallon, we don't see a major shift in this," Sergeant said, noting that US consumers have become accustomed to gasoline priced at around $3.25 a gallon.
"There will be a very slow drift towards these vehicles but it's going to be very gradual."
Automakers expressed confidence in green cars currently on display at the Detroit auto show.
"When you look at our sales for electrified vehicles, we're seeing growth in that market," said Mark Fields, chief operating officer at Ford, which is developing a whole range of green cars, including its compact C-Max.
Toyota dominates the green car market in the United States, accounting for 70 percent of hybrid sales.
"There's no question that over time the price of fuel is going to go up, so we're confident that our plan to develop hybrids is the right long-term play, as is our foray into extended range plug-ins," Jim Lentz, head of Toyota Motor Sales USA, said in an interview on the sidelines of the show.
Toyota's dedicated hybrid line Prius is the best-selling car in Japan and achieves volumes in the United States that most mainstream brands dream of: 236,000 in 2012.
With hybrids also available in Toyota's top selling Camry and Highlander models along with its luxury Lexus brand, they now account for 16 percent of the Japanese automaker's US sales at more than 327,000 in 2012.
Despite an outsized investment in advertising of green cars -- which can create a 'halo effect' for the whole lineup without necessarily leading to sales -- Toprak said automakers haven't done enough to explain the benefits of hybrids.
"They need to do a better job of communicating the financial benefit of owning this car," he told AFP.
With the GM Volt, if you calculate the benefits of tax breaks, attractive leasing costs and fuel savings "it's basically a free car," he said.

Nothing quite captures the flavor of summer like sweet corn eaten right off the cob. Follow the simple steps shown in this video for selecting and freezing the perfect kernels, and enjoy this fresh vegetable out of season.
What You Need
- chef's knife or serrated knife
- pan
- cutting board
- corn
- spatula
- freezer bag
Follow These Steps
Choose a plump ear of corn
Start by choosing ears of corn that are firm to the touch. Loose husks are a hint that the kernels have dried and shrunk and won't be the freshest.
Tip: If the market allows you to peek inside the husks, make sure there are no dried-out kernels. And feel for sticky silks, which indicate freshly-picked ears.
Trim the bottom of the ear
Place a cutting board in a sheet board to trap the kernels. Trim the ear's wide end so it'll be stable to stand upright for the next step.
Shave the kernels with your knife
Using a sharp or serrated knife, slice kernels off the cob in a downward motion. One ear of fresh corn yields about 1/2 cup of kernels.
Tip: If the corn comes with part of the stalk intact, use it as a handle and stand ear on its narrow end instead.
Freeze corn in a plastic bag
To freeze, scoop kernels into a resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer. Allow corn to thaw thoroughly before using.
Tip: You can also freeze corn on the cob, either whole or cut in half.

'Ghost Hunt' Goes Awry in SC
Authorities in the South Carolina city of Union arrested a group of self-described ghost hunters for allegedly breaking into a school to perform an unauthorized investigation.
Cops say that they sensed something was awry at the Sims Middle School early Saturday morning around 4 AM, when they spotted a jeep inexplicably parked at the back of the old building.
Their suspicions where confirmed when they entered the school and discovered two men and three women hiding in one of the rooms.
When asked what they were doing at the property, the group claimed that they had been told that the building was haunted and, thus, they were hunting for ghosts.
More on this weird story, including why they may not have actually been on a genuine paranormal investigation, at the Coast to Coast AM website.

Blazers Blow Out Bobcats
Statistically, the Charlotte Bobcats are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. They're ranked fourth in opponent field goal percentage and fifth in both opponent adjusted field goal percentage and defensive rating.
But they're ranked just 18th in opponent three-point percentage and it would show Thursday night at the Moda Center with the Trail Blazers tying the franchise record for three-pointers made with 21 on the way to blowing out Charlotte 134-104 in front of a sellout crowd in their first game of 2014.
"It was a good game, obviously," said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. "We looked fresh. We played well on both ends of the court. Not a lot to say. We caught a team on a back-to-back, but we played well. Probably more than anything else, we passed the ball really well and got good shots. Guys were feeling it.
