|The Sixers need Andrew Bynum on the floor to be a serious team in the Eastern Conference. They need him on the floor to have a shot at home court advantage in the first round. They need him just to be a playoff team. They probably don't need him to get off a decent start, however.
|74 days after the rumor first tantalized us, 7 days before the Sixers tip off their season at home against the Denver Nuggets...today is the day when Andrew Bynum is expected to set foot on the practice floor with his teammates. Three days on, one day off, three days on, then the games count. Will Bynum be ready? More importantly, will he be healthy?
Latest comment: from CelticsThe Celtics would be better than Miami. ...
|Evan Turner has been a lightning rod since he arrived to Philly. From day 1 there have been strong camps both for and against the Villain - although recently the pro-camp has shown a bit of weakening and defections. But I think people are premature in jumping off the bandwagon. It is too early to throw in the towel - way too early to put ET in the Doug-house and look to make him some other team's problem. And as a bit of disclosure, I was for drafting ET at #2, on the basis that he was the clear cut 2nd best player in his draft, although that was a bit by default as the draft appeared to be weak. And I have also been a vocal critic of his game - and particularly his lack of efficiency - for quite some time. I do not subscribe to the belief that ET is a victim of circumstance, or that he has not gotten ample opportunity to prove himself. So I've never really been on the ET bandwagon, but have been concerned recently over the growing consensus to pull the plug.
|Last season, over 79 games (including playoffs), Jrue Holiday played exactly 9 minutes and 57 seconds without Andre Iguodala, Evan Turner or Lou Williams on the floor with him. That's not a surprise, considering those three were a huge part of the rotation, but it's significant because this year, he's going to have the opportunity to play the Steve Nash role more often, hopefully, he'll play it exclusively when he's on the floor.
Latest comment: from Dollar BillJust came across your 2 replies this morning. Good meditation on Jrue. Thanks for the thoughts. ...
|With the season a bit more than a week away, it's time to take a stab at a few predictions. Instead of going with basic stats, for now, instead I want to focus on minute distribution. The Sixers, like every other team in the league, have 96 minutes/game to fill at shooting guard and small forward. This year, 75% of the rotation at those positions will change, but who gets the bulk of the minutes?
Latest comment: from mymanjrueI spent the summer reworking my quipping form with Herb Mage and Dollar Bill still puts me to shame...
|With Andrew Bynum sitting idly by, the Sixers took the floor against the refurbished Boston Celtics (sans Garnett) last night for our first glimpse of the post-Iguodala era in Philadelphia. The game had a strange kind of feeling at times, at other times it felt eerily similar to the past couple of seasons. Most of the time, I was just letting the differences sink in. There are things to like, definitely, foremost among them is the road kill perched atop Spencer Hawes' dome. Seeing him wear that mullet in public is almost worth the pain of having to watch him play.
Latest comment: from mymanjrueI LOVE his honesty...guy is living a very strange life, probably can't tell who to trust, etc...I like DMC...
|The past couple of days featured two games which carried very little meaning, and a cautiously worded bit of news concerning the Sixers savior's problematic knee. Let's add some meaning to the meaningless and dissect Bynum's procedures to kick off our week.
|The idea for this post came from a well-worn and hotly-debated question in post-Iverson 76ers fandom: is it possible to win a championship in the "Superstar Era" of the NBA without a superstar? Full disclosure: my first recollection of the NBA goes back to the 76-77 season, so my first three years following the NBA saw three balanced teams without a true superstar ('77 Blazers, '78 Bullets, '79 Sonics) win championships, while the superstars of the day (Erving, Kareem, Maravich, David Thompson, Gervin) all went ring-less. So I have seen it happen more than younger readers of Depressed Fan, who only have the '04 Pistons as a counterexample. But the NBA became a different game in 1980, or so the argument goes, and the Superstar era has continued unabated since then. So what follows is an analysis of all 33 championship teams from 1980-2012 (teams are referred to by the year in which they won the title, e.g., '83 Sixers). To make this a Sixers-centric post, I then compare the '12 Sixers to the champions, so that we can get a sense of how that team stacked up against the NBA champions and how the '13 Sixers might be better or worse.
|We've covered what the Sixers lost, and how their perimeter group was reshaped, now it's time to stop skirting the issue. When the Sixers snuck into the Dwight Howard sweepstakes and somehow convinced Orlando to take a package of bad draft picks and middling prospects instead of Andrew Bynum, they fundamentally changed who they are. From unorthodox to tried-and-true, the Sixers have changed their path. Now they just need to fit the pieces together and make it work.
|While Andrew Bynum was, by far, the most meaningful addition of the summer, the Sixers went to great lengths to reshape their perimeter attack. Andre Iguodala, Lou Williams and Jodie Meeks are all gone, their replacements....shooters.
Latest comment: from T McLAbsolutely a high quality post Jesse - we are just getting back into the swing of things....
The preseason (3 days) and regular season (23 days) openers are bearing down on us in a pleasant,

Blu-ray Reviews
Blu-ray Disc reviews by
Bill Hunt
Jeff Kleist
The Digital Bits
Dr. No
1962 (2008) - MGM (20th Century Fox)
Released on Blu-ray Disc on October 21st, 2008
Also available in
Bond Blu-ray Set: Volume 1
Film Rating: A-
Video (1-20): 17.5
Audio (1-20): 17.5
Extras: A-
Fans of 007 will know, of course, that
Dr. No
is the film that started it all - the first "official" film in the series, and the film that introduced and firmly established Sean Connery in the role of James Bond. As such, in many ways it's also the closest of all the films, prior to the recent
Casino Royale
, to the spirit of Ian Fleming's novels.
The film finds Bond on a mission to investigate the death of another British agent, Commander John Strangways. Bond travels to Jamaica, where he's immediately met by a driver sent to kill him. After a series of close calls and attempts on his life, Bond meets CIA agent Felix Lighter (Jack Lord of
Hawaii Five-O
fame), who happens to be investigating the same case. The two join forces, and the trail eventually leads them to the remote island of Cray Key, and the hidden lair of Dr. Julius No (played by Joseph Wiseman), a prototypical evil genius and member of a mysterious organization called SPECTRE, which has plans to destabilize the world.
Lowry Digital's 4K-sourced HD transfer looks quite good overall, though it's not quite up to the level of some of the other Bond titles on Blu-ray. Very light grain is visible, along with very good image detail. Contast is solid, with good, if very slightly gray, blacks. Color is excellent - both accurate and vibrant. Surround sound is available in the usual Fox DTS-HD 5.1 mix that's offered on all their Blu-ray titles. Music, effects and dialogue are all well presented in the mix, with good fidelity and clarity. The original mono mix is also available for those who may prefer it.
As with the Bond Blu-rays, all of the special edition material that was available on the previous DVD
Ultimate Edition
has been ported over. Again, select material that was standard-def on the DVD is now presented in HD, though there's nothing else unique to this edition. Highlights include audio commentary with the director and select cast and crew members, multiple featurettes both new and vintage, theatrical trailers, TV spots, an image archive and more. The overall package is nicely comprehensive and satisfying. The insert booklet (with liner notes) from the DVD hasn't been replicated here, but otherwise this Blu-ray is the perfect replacement for the DVD. The packaging is of the standard blue plastic case variety, with a cardboard slipcase.
Dr. No
is a must have for Bond fans on disc simply because of its importance as the first entry in the series, not to mention the fact that it's an entertaining film. The comprehensive extras and enhanced presentation quality on this new Blu-ray edition make the case for upgrading even more legitimate. This is going to start sounding repetitive, but if you're a fan of 007, it's absolutely worth the purchase.
From Russia with Love
1963 (2008) - MGM (20th Century Fox)
Released on Blu-ray Disc on October 21st, 2008
Also available in
Bond Blu-ray Set: Volume 2
Rating: A
Video (1-20): 18
Audio (1-20): 17.5
Extras: A-
Dr. No
was the perfect beginning for the Bond franchise, it was
From Russia with Love
that officially powered the series into financial success, firmly cementing the character of 007 (again played by Sean Connery) into the minds of moviegoers and establishing the spy genre in general as a legitimate big screen entertainment.
The specter of... well, SPECTRE... is back again, and this time the group is out for revenge after Bond foiled the plans of their very own Dr. No. Led by the megalomaniacal Ernst Stavro Blofeld (referred to as "Number One" and played by Anthony Dawson, also known for his appearance in Hitchcock's
Dial M for Murder
), SPECTRE plans to teach the British government, and 007 in particular, a lesson. So Bond steps knowingly into their schemes, which involve stealing a secret Russian decoding machine, multiple scuffles with dangerous SPECTRE assassins and, of course, a scuffle of a different sort with a sexy KGB temptress. Classic Bond doesn't get much better than this.
As presented on MGM and Fox's new Blu-ray Disc release,
From Russia with Love
looks fantastic. The high-definition transfer exhibits excellent color and contrast, with deep, dark blacks, good image detail and very light grain. The result is a very pleasing, film-like presentation. Audio-wise, the DTS-HD offers excellent clarity and fidelity. The score in particular benefits from the latest mastering improvements, though the dialogue and sounds effects are also good, even considering the limitations of the source material. Audio isn't quite as good as some of the other Bond titles on Blu-ray, but it supports the images well. The original mono audio is also available.
Once again, the extras available here are excellent. Everything from the previous
Ultimate Edition
DVD has carried over to the Blu-ray, and a select few items are now offered in HD (they were in standard-def on the DVD). Director Terence Young and key members of the production team are represented with an audio commentary track. Several new and vintage featurettes are available. There's an image database, and an archive of trailers and TV spots. You even get an animated storyboard sequence. Nothing here is new or unique to the Blu-ray, and again the liner notes booklet is missing, but this is otherwise an outstanding upgrade of the previous DVD release. As with the other Bond titles now available, it all comes packaged in a typical Blu-ray plastic case with a cardboard slipcase.
From Russia with Love
remains one of the best entries in the Bond franchise, and it still holds up well even forty-five years after its big screen debut. The film looks and sounds terrific on Blu-ray despite its age, and the extras once again are excellent. If you have a Blu-ray player, but are on the fence about upgrading to this new edition, we say find a good sale price and take the leap. You won't regret it.
Die Another Day
2002 (2008) - MGM (20th Century Fox)
Released on Blu-ray Disc on October 21st, 2008
Also available in
Bond Blu-ray Set: Volume 1
Rating: C
Video (1-20): 18
Audio (1-20): 18.5
Extras: B-
Finally, we go from the great to the... well, not so much.
Die Another Day
was the last film in the Bond series to star actor Pierce Brosnan (previously of TV's
Remington Steele
fame) as Agent 007, and it represents the zenith of the franchise's modern tendency to embrace the camp, the glib and the fantastical.
The film opens with Bond being betrayed and captured while on a mission to kill a rogue military officer in North Korea. After more than a year of torture in captivity, Bond is eventually released in a prisoner exchange which also frees a terrorist named Zao from British custody. Realizing that Zao knows the identity of the person who betrayed him, Bond traces Zao to a shady British billionaire named Gustav Graves and soon uncovers an elaborate plot to spark an all-out war on the Korean peninsula. Along for the ride (and the usual sexual intrigue) are an NSA agent named Jinx (Halle Berry) and the icy Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike).
Die Another Day
looks generally very good on Blu-ray Disc, though right off the bat you'll notice that location text titles are surprisingly washed out and blurred. Something obviously went awry with the optical work involved. In any case, as the film continues, the image is quite good, with excellent color and detail. The blacks look a little gray, but contrast is adequate. Light grain is visible. Sonically, the DTS-HD 5.1 mix is excellent, with a big, wide soundstage, lively surround channels, smooth panning and terrific bass.
Once again, all of the extras on the previous
Ultimate Edition
DVD have carried over to this Blu-ray version, some of them upgraded to HD. There are two commentary tracks, including one with Brosnan and Pike, a trivia track, numerous featurettes and more. Unfortunately, that's not good enough in this particular case - the original 2-disc
Special Edition
DVD release from 2002 offered ample bonus material that's available nowhere else, including the very good
Inside Die Another Day
documentary (produced by Charles de Lauzirika), multi-angle scene explorations, a digital grading featurette, Madonna's music video for the theme song and more. Why this material wasn't carried over to the
Ultimate Edition
DVD remains a mystery, and it's unfortunately still not available here. So if you want EVERYTHING, you have to keep Disc Two of that original DVD release in addition to this Blu-ray.
Die Another Day
is far from our favorite entry in the Bond franchise, but it's not the worst either. In any case, we remain grateful that the producers decided to ditch the camp after its release, and take 007 back to his roots with the recent
Casino Royale
and the forthcoming
Quantum of Solace
. We do have a certain fondness for Brosnan as Bond, of course, but Daniel Craig has taken on the role so completely that it now seems impossible to think of the character without him. Bond fans will certainly want (and be glad to have)
Die Another Day
on Blu-ray, but if you're new to the franchise, we suggest starting your viewing elsewhere.

A Pin That Never Gets Old
Madewell's Draped Chain Brooch is the illegitimate child of the multi-chain necklace and the over-the-top pin. Yet there are so many ways to wear this brooch that it will never get old. We like the idea of it pinned to the back pocket of a pencil skirt or the pocket of a blazer. It would also make a not-so-sweet cardigan clip for the girl who wants to add a little of Rizzo to her usual Sandy look.

More seminar update at http://www.meetup.com/Singapore-FOREX-Group/
1. Trades only emini Russell 2000 futures
2. Aim for only 1 point profit target per trade (1 pt = USD100), profit target of 1 pt entered by default once a trade is initiated, but stop loss is placed manually (usually above resistences or below support)
3. Risk:reward ratio is typically around 1:3 ( but not fixed as stop loss is dependent on support/resistence levels).
4. Trade only 2 hrs per night (from 9:30-11:30pm).
5. Usually can find between 6-8 trades durng this 2 hr period, each trade lasting an average of 5 – 15mins (but many more lasted only about 1 min+).
6. Use Volume-based (not time based) charts, ie every bar represent, say 100 contracts. (VXcharts charting software is used, subscription is S$50/m)
7. 5 strategies will be taught but can concentrate on just 1 or 2 if preferred (some of his students trade only 1 strategy and is highly successful).
8. Accuracy is around 70-80%
9. Startup fund is USD3000. Start with only 1 contract and aim for around USD200 profit a day (ie 2 profitable trades a night), however over a one mth (22 trading days) period, expect net profit to be only around $1,500 - $2,000 due to some losing days. When become consistent, can slowly increase # of contracts traded. (he emphasized it shld be gradual, from 1 to 2, then after a while, 2 to 3 contracts etc).
10. Course fee $3,500 (Day 1 & 2 on Nov 10-11), then a one day bootcamp session on 24 Nov.
11. Class size limited to 25.
12. There will be live chats and he will also make trading calls (he didn't say and we forgot to ask if there is a time limit to this hand-holding period).
Marcus "divulged" 2 of the strategies during the course.1. The first (LSD strategy, a counter trend strategy) is based on divergence (similar to stock divergence but he uses a different indicator (not sure what it is) to spot the divergence between the volume based chart and the indicator. There are also 2 volume-frames (compare to multiple "time-frames" when we use time-based charts, eg daily and weekly charts) involved. He may be looking at a certain volume based chart for the general direction to trade and then drill up to a lower volume chart to look for divergence to enter the trade. Once entered, decide on the stop loss (based on resistence/supports) while target is pre-fixed at 1 point.
2. The 2nd strategy is trend following. He uses some strange indicator and only take a short trade if that indicator is red, long trade if that indicator is blue.. (a bit like black box..?? ).
Concept Of Price Multiple Trading Signals past weeks
Tuesday 18 Aug : 11 good signals out of 11 = 100%
Monday 17 Aug : 8 good signals out of 9 = 89%
Thursday 13 Aug : 8 good signals out of 9 = 89%

Some feedback from student:
Joined the course 3 or 4 years back. So what I know may be outdated.
He had about 5 different ways of trading the US russell futures.
Infinity Futures, via the Infinity AT software.
Charting software
Initially used Ensign.
This had some display and latency issues. Later they partnered with a developer and transited to their own proprietary software. The monthly subscription fees were comparable for both.
The charts used are volume based. This means a bar is completed after a particular volume is reached. This is different from most other techniques that use time based charts. This also means you cannot find free charting and data solutions.
They had a realtime chat group that allows the instructors to post images such as a potential trade coming up.
I traded for 1.5 years. On both demo and live accounts, I wasn't profitable.
I ruled out discipline issues
I built up the routines to wake up at night to trade, self-talk to prepare for the intensity ahead, review after each session and practice off-line.
I am pretty sure 90% of my class don't do that. The impatient ones never practiced demo and lost money in live. The lazy ones didn't even sign up with the US broker after the short trial period. I persisted for 1.5 years. It was extremely tiring.
Issues faced
1) My charts and the instructors charts look different.
It is made known during the course that it is normal, and everyone should trade based on what they see on their screens. The trading edge should still exist.
But this makes it hard to compare with the instructor's charts.
2) Can't backtest and practice properly
The trading style is very short term. Trades usually last seconds. So you need to practice to improve your reaction time and do some mental calculations.
But the charts look slightly different each time I load the same period data. It's a frustrating, moving target. If my profitability improves as I practiced, I can't be sure it is due to my improved reaction or the series of trades presented.
It's like trying to improve at a 100m race with a track that randomly change in length every time you run.
Why it didn't work for me
The ultimate issue is that I cannot tell what went wrong because there is no objective reference. Hence I can't even proof to myself the edge is present.

Have a cheeseburger (thanks, Heather)
Heather Mills, ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney, has secured kashrut certification from the Manchester Beth Din for her vegan food brand - although the products in her range that simulate pork and seafood will not get the rabbinic stamp on its packaging.
The Redwood Wholefood Company produces plant-based alternatives to chicken, beef and pork, as well as and dairy-free cheeses. All of its 61 products are kosher, but the Beth Din's MK kosher stamp will not appear on Cheatin' ham slices, vegetarian bacon rashers and scampi-style pieces.
Beth Din Dayan Yehuda Osher Steiner, who says he can only "take my hat off" to the company that allowed him a year to analyse hundreds of Redwood's factory ingredients, explained that the issue was not with halachah. He said Judaism not only permitted Jews to eat pork alternatives, but positively promoted the practice.
"According to halachah, anything God created and is kosher one should taste. The Talmud states clearly that for every item God prohibited, he created an alternative tasting one that is permitted. If one doesn't taste them, God asks why not.
"But our own market research, which surveyed both secular and religious Jews across the UK, showed that consumers thought it was horrible to buy pork-style foods and the like. The entire factory is absolutely kosher, but from a marketing perspective it makes people upset."
Ms Mills said she did not apply for kosher certification on the pork products out of sensitivity: "I didn't feel it was right to put the kosher stamp on these products out of respect for people who don't eat those foods for religious reasons, even with the Redwood products being 'take- offs' of the real thing.
Rabbi Yehuda Brodie added: "For those who have ever been tempted by a cheeseburger, this is a kosher way to enjoy such a delicacy."

By Terry Ireland
I went for a walk with an Aardvark
In a forest of beer bottle trees,
Entranced by their gentle swaying,
Hanging and clinking in the breeze;
And I found a top spanner bush
Growing at a convenient height
And me and my friend the Aardvark
Settled down for our boozy night.
We sampled the pale ale and bitter
Then the stout the mild and the pills
Organically brewed with such care
To avoid any hangover ills.
And my Aardvark danced a jig,
Accompanying himself on a lute
The wind blowing through the bottles
Providing a raw wild sort of flute.
We discussed the ways of the world
Each providing our original views
On such as the Albigensian heresies
And the standard of reporting the news.
Then a bell rang through that forest
And a voice rolled in my head
It's closing time for the winter
And I woke up alone in my bed.
I sprang from my sheets with a zest
Had a quick burst on my tambourine
Before cleaning my teeth with such energy
On my oral hygiene machine.
I ate toast and two eggs for my brekkers
With a selection of blended fruit teas
Hungry from my walk with that Aardvark
In that forest of beer bottle trees.

Nicholas Brendon back on Criminal Minds and appearing in France! Nick is slated to appear in the May 12th episode "Exit Wounds". He will also be a guest at UltimArt's Convention: The Musical, August 27-29 in Paris, France.
I have wondered what Kevin has been doing, especially with Forest Whitaker's recent episode. The 'cast' for his team seemed very interesting. I could kinda see Nicholas Brendon somewhere in there.

I approached this documentary with some hesitation. After all, who would willingly settle, with any enthusiasm, into a screening of a film about suicide? The few reviews I had read about the film were positive, so I watched it, hoping to learn something new.
The film is beautiful. That is to say, the footage and photography are beautiful. The camera crew kept a vigil at the site of California's Golden Gate Bridge for an entire year, so the comings and goings of the seasons – such as they are in northern California – are completely documented here. The setting of the span as it crosses the San Francisco bay into Marin is idyllic, and the filmmaker, Eric Steel, has captured the natural surroundings of the area lovingly.
I can't imagine the anguished mental process of a conscientious cameraman deciding whether or not to take the job of filming this project. On the plus side, there is the natural beauty of the workspace, the opportunity to capture those surroundings on film, a relaxed outdoor atmosphere. Negatively, there would be cold and wet days, and most often the job would involve working alone. But what of the objective goal, the aim to capture people leaping to death from the Golden Gate Bridge? This would throw me into a moral quandry. Would there be a telephone network in place to alert the bridge security? Do I stop filming to attempt to stop this person from jumping? When I believe that the person can't be stopped, do I continue filming? What constructive purpose (other than that of being a voyeur) does this footage ultimately serve?
I won't say that these questions were all necessarily answered to my complete satisfaction in the film. The Bridge, however, is not a sensationalistic work. While the focus is on the jumpers, and the footage of them attempting and, in some cases, accomplishing their premeditated goal is included, the bulk of the film is an eloquent and thoughtful meditation on suicide by those left behind. Steel sought out the family members and friends of the subjects, and recorded their emotional ruminations on troubled lives, and on their loss. Some express guilt and responsibility, and others seem to view suicide as a logical, though unfortunate, conclusion to their friend's life.

Despite the fact that the Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas - an organization that has fired more than 10,000 rockets at Israel and has declared its intention to eliminate the Jewish State - Israel continues to facilitate the entry of humanitarian supplies into the Gaza Strip for the benefit of the civilian population.
In June 2010, the government outlined its new policy towards the Gaza Strip, and agreed to liberalize the system by which civilian goods enter Gaza while expanding the inflow of materials for civilian projects under international supervision.
According to the new policy, whatever is not on the restricted list will be allowed into the Gaza Strip.
Essential food products including meat, chicken and fish, grains and legumes, fresh vegetables, dairy products, oil, flour, salt and sugar, in addition to animal feed, hygiene products, clothing, school supplies, medicines and medical supplies have always been among the goods that are regularly delivered to Gaza. A wide variety of commodities have been added: spices, cakes and candies, toys, cosmetic products, housewares and other items according to the demands of the vendors and the customers.
The only goods that are currently restricted are arms, weapons and various war materials, and certain items that have military as well as civilian applications.
The amount and variety of goods entering Gaza every day has increased heavily since 2010 and work is being done to increase the capacity of the land crossings. For example, the capacity of the Kerem Shalom crossing has increased by 210% over the past year - 250 trucks can now pass per day as opposed to the priot average of 85.
Listed below are the monthly statistics regarding delivery of Israeli humanitarian aid to Gaza since June 2010

Oh! I wish there was a gallery opening for this right now. I LOVE THIS PIECE. I don't normally fall in love with my art or anyone elses. It's just not my thing. BUT! Every once in a while I do! AND! This is it this year.
First, you have to realize this is a piece made from 11 different recycle pieces. The only thing new on this is the 4 lag bolts and 7 small nails that hold the base together.
|This is what I LOVE to build.
|Bird perches.
|The shrimp trap is held down with a finial.
|The top is made from 5 different pieces.
|I like it in my garden.
|The table leg is very old and swirled so nicely!
|The 2 perches are a chair spindle and a piece
from a hay fork from the late 1800's.
So, I went through every thing I owned and came up with 11 pieces of "junk", all from different things. Here's a list of what I used:
1 table leg from the early 1900's.
1 chair spindle from early 1900's.
1 tong (?) from a hay fork from the late 1800's.
1 shrimp cage.
1 large piece of wood from the beach.
1 smaller piece of wood from a scrap pile at the local fence company.
1 wood stove chimney topper.
2 brass pieces from different outdoor lamps.
1 brass finial from an older table lamp.
1 coupler set up w/nuts from a different table lamp.
One very large lag holds the table leg onto the base inside the cage. 3 smaller lags hold the beach wood to the fence wood base inside the cage. It's not going anywhere! LOL!
OH! How do you open it??? There are 2 large "safety pins" where the 3 pieces of the shrimp trap come together. Just pop one open. I didn't make this to use with birds. I don't know how healthy it would be for a bird. It's really just for a decoration. I would leave it in my house! BUT!!! That's me.
OKAY! Back to work. It's that day! Time to move into the show. YAY!!!!
I sure hope to see you there! Shell

Could an 11th commandmentâlove your taxesâbe far off in England?
The Roman Catholic Church of England and Wales has launched a campaign to encourage its 4.6 million members in the U.K. and Northern Ireland to embrace their inner taxpayer. A 40-page booklet called "Taxation for the Common Good," offers the premise that rather than seeing taxes as an unfair penalty, they should be seen as a way people can participate morally in society, Reuters reported.
"Taxes are very much based on the principles of solidarity, which is based on the commandment to love your neighbor," former Bishop Howard Tripp, Chairman of the Church's Committee for Public Life, told Reuters.
On average, Britons pay a basic rate on income of 22 percent and 40 percent on anything over 29,900 pounds ($55,550) but the Church's book doesn't get into what tax rate it considers equitable.
"This document is suggesting taxes are a way to play our part and it is something we should be pleased to do...It's all part of our duty to our neighbor, stemming from our duty as social animals," he said.
The Church claims the booklet is not a party political statement and does not mention the tax policy of British Chancellor (Finance Minister) Gordon Brown, who has hiked taxes to help fund the country's ailing health service, Reuters reported.
Tripp said the booklet is intended to jumpstart public debate on the issue and to give taxation a moral standing in society. He said tax dodgers cheat themselves and their country.
"If a person felt bound not to pay some tax to a certain cause they disagree with then they must follow their conscience, but I would urge them to look at other ways to deal with that problem, such as lobbying members of parliament."

On the bench, Fumo's BFF: Buckwalter
The feds filed too many charges against ex-state Sen. Vincent Fumo, his good works in public and private life mitigated his crimes, and it wasn't as if he were charged with taking bribes or pocketing state money.
The viewpoint of Fumo's lawyer, perhaps• Nope, that was part of the reasoning by U.S. District Judge Ronald Buckwalter, who added a mere six more months to Fumo's 55-month sentence. Buckwalter had been ordered to resentence Fumo because his first sentence in 2009 was too lenient.
On the redo, Buckwalter gave Fumo, a Philadelphia Democrat, a pass again.
Never mind that Fumo's fraud totaled $4 million. A jury convicted him of 137 corruption charges in 2009. He used state taxpayers' money and a nonprofit's money as if it were his own. Senate staffers did his personal and political chores. State-paid employees worked on his farm; they balanced his checkbooks. A taxpayer-paid private detective snooped on his personal and political enemies. Political polls were paid for by the taxpayers.
But hey, he wasn't putting money in his own pocket.
Call Buckwalter's resentence outrageous, incomprehensible or plain rotten. Take your pick.
It was clear to me that this quirky 74-year-old senior judge should no longer be hearing cases in federal court.
His kid-glove handling of Fumo was unconscionable.
It irked Buckwalter that prosecutors used Fumo's e-mails, sent from a federal prison account, to show he wanted to exact revenge on his enemies when released. His e-mails also showed he had no remorse. "There were no victims," Fumo wrote. Buckwalter virtually scolded assistant U.S. attorneys for using the e-mails.
Buckwalter also felt sorry for all of Fumo's ailments, from diabetes to depression. He did reluctantly agree that Fumo had those ailments when he committed the crimes.
This notion that the multimillion-dollar fraud on taxpayers wasn't important because it wasn't bribery or theft is ludicrous.
Of course, it was theft. Just as former House Speaker John Perzel's use of $10 million for computer programs and equipment to help Republicans win elections was theft. So was former House Minority Leader Mike Veon's use of $1.8 million in bonuses to House Democrat staffers who worked on campaigns.
Federal prosecutors and agents who at times visited the courtroom during Buckwalter's two-day defense of his slap on the wrist varyingly looked perplexed and saddened by what transpired.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Zausmer put the best spin possible on it in talking to reporters later. Yes, it was a disappointment. But in the big picture, the federal government had removed Fumo from office and sent him to prison.
Still, Buckwalter seemed sensitive to the widespread public criticism of his first sentence. The judge asked one witness whether he had heard anything about the court's integrity being challenged and essentially got a "no."
I heard a lot of that in 2009. But watching Buckwalter in person, I don't believe that was anything untoward. He seems like a decent man. He just had a blind spot on this case. Call it stubbornness, a character flaw, a distorted perception of the facts.
Nothing hinky.
Just a judge way past his prime.

October 12, 2015 — The Memorial Hospital at Craig announced the successful completion of its new accreditation process from DNV GL - Healthcare.
By earning accreditation, The Memorial Hospital has demonstrated it meets or exceeds patient safety standards (Conditions of Participation) set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. DNV GL's accreditation program is the only one to integrate the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation.
"The DNV GL program is consistent with our long-term commitment to quality and patient safety," said Jennifer Riley, Chief of Marketing and Business Development. "The ability to integrate ISO 9001 quality standards with our clinical and financial processes is a major step forward."
The Memorial Hospital has three years from the date of its accreditation to achieve compliance with ISO 9001, the world's most trusted quality management system used by performance-driven organizations around the world to advance their quality and sustainability objectives.
"We have taken an entirely different approach to accreditation, and hospitals are really responding," said DNV GL - Healthcare CEO Patrick Horine. "Since accreditation is a must-have credential for just about every hospital in this country, why not make it more valuable, and get more out of it? That's where ISO 9001 comes into play, and turns the typical get-your-ticket-punched accreditation exercise into a quality transformation."
DNV GL's accreditation program, called NIAHO® (Integrated Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations), involves annual hospital surveys – instead of every three years – and encourages hospitals to openly share information across departments and to discover improvements in clinical workflows and safety protocols.
DNV GL is a world-leading certification body. We help businesses assure the performance of their organizations, products, people, facilities and supply chains through certification, verification, assessment, and training services.
Within healthcare, we help our customers achieve excellence by improving quality and patient safety through hospital accreditation, managing infection risk, management system certification and training.
The DNV GL Group operates in more than 100 countries. Our 16,000 professionals are dedicated to helping our customers make the world safer, smarter and greener.
