The Law & Order formula
Page Tools
Law & Order has distinct elements, from the opening monologue to the "chung-chung" notes that start each scene to the four acts, which go something like this:
Act One
The notes sound, the location appears at the bottom of the screen and the murder is discovered. Within 15 minutes, the two homicide detectives are asking questions, taking down names and the search for suspects has earnestly begun.
Act Two
At this point the detectives generally run into some complication. At least one visit to the boss - it's Lieutenant Van Buren at the moment - helps clarify things, so by the half-hour, an arrest has been made. Before the next ad break, the "law" segment has concluded.
Act Three
It's in the hands of the lawyers now. Executive Assistant District Attorney McCoy and Assistant District Attorney Southerlyn prepare for trial but, typically, moral or ethical matters need to be resolved. District Attorney Branch sometimes provides the impediment, sometimes the solution. Either way, by the 45-minute mark the case seems to be jeopardised.
Act Four
Any lingering issues from the previous act are resolved. Perhaps McCoy and the more impulsive Southerlyn are at odds, or there could be something the detectives did or learned in their investigation - but by now it's time for trial. By the time the hour's over, a judgement has been rendered. "Order" is restored.

The e-Paper is available for all those folks who do not have time or convenience to purchase and read the printed version and hence offers a good opportunity for them to read the Asomiya Pratidin online by making use of their internet connection either through a computer or portable mobile device. The interface of this Assamese e-Newspaper is powered by Pressmart which is a service provider that facilitates software and scripts for digital and mobile publishing.
Access to online edition of Asomiya Pratidin is made available to all visitors but unlike other e-papers, it requires the user to signup so as to avail the features like reading detailed news report by zooming each relevant section of the paper and so on. This is one of the worst arrangements being made and may not be appreciable as even though it is free, most of the people would simply move away and seek for alternative sources which offers much advanced features without requiring any annoying registration. Moreover, according to a note given in the signup page the permission to access the service or approval to the request is not guaranteed and will depend on their decision based on the user information that they received.
So, even when this is a free subscription of Assamese newspaper 'Asomiya Pratidin' it does not tend to be true in practical sense. But being a newspaper of such repute, one can simply consider such a strict approach as they have already registered some good authority in the market and the credit cannot be taken off due to such small issues.
Therefore, if you are interested in using their online service we would recommend that you go ahead and try out your luck by submitting the signup form for which they will respond by either giving you the desired access when approved or reject the application at their sole discretion and in case of disapproval the reason may or may not be disclosed to you.

Piracy and betrayal frame the epic story of solitary endurance that inspired Daniel Defoe's classic novel.
Who was the real Robinson Crusoe? And what did he really experience during his solitary stay on a remote island in the Pacific? Diana Souhami's revelatory account of Alexander Selkirk's adventures on the high seas and dry land leads us to the answers to both these questions, and explores the reality behind the romance of privateering on the high seas.
Born to a poor Scottish family, Selkirk signed on with an ill-fated quest to sack the famous Manila galleon, one of the richest prizes on the southern seas. After a series of misfortunes and disagreements among the crew, Selkirk was put ashore on an island three hundred miles west of South America, where he spent four years learning to survive with little more than his bare hands.
Acclaimed biographer Diana Souhami evokes all the strangeness and wonder of his story and interprets the haze created by three centuries of literature and legend. The result is a brilliantly lucid and lyrical recovery and discovery of a forgotten man and his unforgettable experience.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Diana Souhami is the author of many acclaimed books including The Trials of Radclyffe Hall (short-listed for the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Biography and winner of the Lambda Literary Award), Gertrude and Alice, Gluck 1895-1978: Her Biography, Greta and Cecil, and the bestselling Mrs. Keppel and Her Daughter. She lives in London.
1. The Island
Molten Stuff
Defined by the vast South Sea, The Island from a wooden craft, far out, was a destination, a place of refuge. At first sight it looked no more than a gray blur. Plying the sea against strong tides and capricious winds, the blur turned to jagged mountains looming form the water. Dark clouds hung over the eastern end. They promised clear streams, meat, and respite from the journey's storms.
Ranging beneath the lee, searching for anchorage, the broken, craggy precipices revealed forests, cut by lush valleys, watered by cascades and streams. The bays of boulders and shingle became harbours of society.
Spewed in the earth's heat, once The Island had been molten stuff beneath the earth's crust. Formed of columns of basalt, it was a causeway of mountain peaks, the highest, shaped like a huge anvil, rising three thousand feet above the ocean. Its rocks were grey, scoriaceous, slaggy, veined with olivine and picrite, coded with skeleton crystals of feldspar, aluminium, potash, lime...Its coast escarpments, high forested ridges and the dry seaward slopes of its valleys, were lava beds, relics from a magmatic flow: magma from the Greek 'to knead". By its shores were lumps of black porous lava, like burnt-out clinker, like a dead fire.
The fire could rekindle. The Island changed with the scudding clouds, the waxing moon, a fall of rain. Sounds that cracked in echo round the mountains, warned of its awesome energy. Mariners told of the earth's explosion, of "A Vulcan casting out Stones as big as a House', of a column that spouted from the sea filled with smoke and flames, of how the sea swept back in great rollers that left the bay dry, then surged in at such a height that trees uprooted and goats drowned.
Classifiers gave their views on geotectonic connections between The Island and the continent of South America and the movement of continental plates. They picked up pieces of rock, sailed home with them in boxes, identified the grains of colour these rocks contained as augite, magnetite and ilmenite and speculated on when the volcano had erupted and the manner in which time turns one thing into another. Their analyses made The Island less remote. If they named it, classified it, they could in a sense possess it and tame it to their will.
Mountains and Gorges
In the scheme of things it was a chip of land - twelve miles long, four across, thirty-four miles round, four million years old. At the low parched western end only dwarf trees grow (Dendroseris litoralis and Rea pruinata). * By a headband was a rocky bay shaped like a horseshoe, where a small boat might land on sand and shingle.
The eastern cliffs rose sheer from the sea. Moss and algae grew where surf drained from the talus' edge. The sea undermined the coastal wall and hollowed it as caves. Along the south-east shore were tufted grasses with high culms (Stipa fernandeziana). Waterfalls washed soil to the sea that stained the surf sepia. Beside a small bay, strewn with lava beds and furrowed by stony streams, two mountains rose, sculpted with hanging gullies carrying water after every rain.
Sea winds met the coast, rose high over the mountain crests, the cooled, condensed and fell as rain which drenched the ridges, gushed in torrents down the mountains, and in the lush green valleys turned to fast-flowing streams. Cloud shrouded the mountains while sunshine bathed the western hills. Winds gusted in the valleys in violent squalls. In the humid spring, rainbows arched the bays. Summer came in December and lasted until March.
In the forests that covered the mountain slopes were sweet smelling sandalwood trees with dark brown bark, pimento with glossy leaves and pungent berries, large mayu trees with jutting roots, mountain palms with long straight trunks, dark green and ringed with scars. Trees uprooted in the squalling winds and thin mountain soil. In the gorges rushes thrived with sword-shaped leaves and white flowers. Gunnera masafuerae spread parchment leaves. Tree ferns more than three feet tall, with dark green fronds grew in groves in the wooded valleys. Scandent ferns trailed over stones and fallen trunks. They clung to threes and branches. Bronze green filmy ferns filled the open glades, the banks of streams, the wet cliff walls.
Light-loving rosette trees grew on low rocks. Three times a year they flowered dark blue. Evergreen myrtles with whit flowers graces the forest's edge, plum trees blossomed in spring. There was brushwood on the rock ledges and lichen on the stones. Luxuriant moss cushioned the boulders at the foot of the waterfalls. Colonies of flowering plants and grasses formed heathland. Herbs thrived by the valley's streams.
In one valley of green pastures, cut by a fast-flowing stream there was a small harbour where boulders shifted under heavy swell. In calm seas a boat could land at the foot of projecting rock, hollowed like a tunnel. The rock led to a cave sixteen feet above sea level. It was a place where a man might shelter.*
But only in one wide bay might a large ship find safe anchorage in deep water and its boats reach the shore. This bay was walled by high mountains cut by gulches. The grassland of its valley was screened by sandalwood trees and watered by streams. It was a place of echoes and fragrance: gentle at dawn and dusk, hostile in gusting wind. By its streams grew turnips and radishes, herbs, wild oats and grasses. Behind the valley were high-walled gorges, dense with tree ferns and giant-leaved Gunnera peltata. From these gorges plunged waterfalls. Through thick forest a steep pass led to the south side of the island. At the summit of this pass, after an arduous climb, a man might scan the encircling sea. He would miss no ship that approached The Island. In times this summit became known as Selkirk's lookout.
And beyond the valley and before it were ten thousand miles of ocean. The ocean was The Island's protection. It kept man (Homo sapiens) away. It carried only the daring or the desperate to its rugged, stony shore. Without intervention from man The Island found its times of burgeoning and times of repose.

YUCK!! Day After Thanksgiving is Busiest of the Year--for Plumbers
This gives an entirely new meaning to the term 'Black Friday.' The day after Thanksgiving, you see, is the busiest day of the year for plumbers.
Phil Abrams of Roto Rooter says his crews run from house to house all day Friday, as Thanksgiving dinner comes back to haunt homeowners.
"People put things like potato peels and rice and turkey skins and grease and other things get down into both the disposal and the kitchen drain and cause clogs," he told 1200 WOAI news.
Abrams says he tells families all year long, when Thanksgiving rolls around...do NOT pour the turkey grease down the drain.
"The most common problem that we see is a clogged kitchen sink drain and a jammed up garbage disposal," he said. "The grease solidifies and the pipes no longer will drain water away. That's usually the biggest issue."
He says someday, people will start listening to him and will deposit the turkey grease and turkey skin elsewhere. Until then, he'll keep counting his profits because, like retailers, the day after Christmas is when he makes his profits, too.

Warning: speech defect ahead
Page Tools
Infants embarking on the acquisition of their mother tongue don't know how complex is the task ahead. It has been said that nothing the child will later learn - including the proverbial rocket science - can approximate the scale of the feat of first-language acquisition.
While few of us ever become rocket scientists (how many have you known?), almost all of us master one language, frequently more. What's indisputable is that the human brain is phenomenal, judged only by its storage and retrieval functions. Let me furnish an example.
I was coming up the freeway towards the Harbour Bridge last week and a roadside sign read: "Warning: Shoulder Closed". In a nanosecond or less, I was back in my childhood, struggling to say "shoulder" not "soldier" or "soldier" not "shoulder". My one-in-two chance seemed entirely weighted against me. My confusion usually brought the house down. I wanted to stamp my foot and scream, "Hey, this is a speech defect we've got here. Laughter isn't helping."
Of course, I didn't. What does a kid know about speech defects or language development? Whoever it was who came up with "soldier" and "shoulder" was part of a larger conspiracy to trip me up. Given the evidence, surely a fair interpretation.
You might be thinking, "Hey, this is post-war Australia, a civilian peacetime, what need for "soldier" in the lexicon of a child growing up a few hours out of Sydney in a house on a block with a (sort of) picket fence?" You're wrong. We lived near an army base and you'd often see bunches of shoulders hanging about.
There they were in their sexy car-keys. I had to think of it as written like that, in order to force myself to say "car-key", not "kakki" (rhymes with "lackey"), which is what the parents called it at home. "Kakki" was wrong, not just because it was not what it should be (namely, "car-key"), but because it sounded so, well, woggo. The fact that all those wogs flooding into Australia in the late 1940s and '50s knew more about "kakki" than anyone ever should didn't heighten the legitimacy of their strange pronunciation.
We've travelled a long way from the sign on the freeway. The nanosecond childhood reverie over, I find I'm bothered. I can handle rivers having banks, telegraphs having poles, cliffs having faces. It's roads having shoulders that's the obstacle. I should get over it. After all, shoulders are high on the metaphor-utility index. I mean, there's the shoulder you cry or lean on when sympathy is needed. There's the shoulder you rub shoulders with when you're feeling perky. And there's the shoulder-to-shoulder character of loyalty, fraternity and hard work. The dark side is equally useful. Consider the cold shoulder, the shoulder with the chip on it and the shoulder that needs to be looked over.
Overall, for sheer pioneering quality, shoulder is second to none. Being head and shoulders above the rest, having broad shoulders, putting one's shoulder to the wheel all bespeak unqualified admiration. A willingness to shoulder responsibility or even blame suggests maturity and self-sacrifice, and these co-habit the same lexical corridors as having an old head on young shoulders or speaking straight from the shoulder.
All these metaphors have their place. And, certainly, when you're wanting to shrug, shoulders are indispensable. It's only on the road that they don't work for me.

Schedules C and C-EZ
Business income is reported on either:
If preparing Schedule C, Part I, the following are out of scope for VITA/TCE programs: return and allowances, cost of goods sold (involves inventory), and other income. Taxpayers with these items should be referred to a professional tax preparer.
Figure the net profit or loss by subtracting the business expenses from business income. The net profit or loss will be reported on Form 1040, line 12. The net profit will also need to be shown on Schedule SE in order to calculate the self-employment tax. Schedule SE will be covered in a later lesson.
VITA and TCE tax preparers who are certified through Advanced level or higher can assist with preparation of Schedule C-EZ or limited Schedule C.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Thanks Charles. Its a desktop. The monitor is a Dell. But unfortunately since the computer is at my work, I can't get the model number right now. Yes, the computer lights look normal, but there is only one, which is the green light in the front when it comes on.
Every monitor we tried had a different cable, so we did that. But in regards XXXXX XXXXX button for VGA and DVI, I believe the cable is hooked to the VGA in back of the computer, is this button another thing?
The button would either say source or it would say menu and you can switch between. The tuner on that lcd monitor can usually detect automatically if it has DVI and VGA both but if someone messed with it or made any adjustments it can usually be set to manual. The only thing that concerns me however you did mention that you tried several other monitors. I am more concerned about the graphics card in this case.
I see what you mean because if someone messed with it then maybe it could be that, but we did try 3 others and it didn't work either.
Let me tell you what happened prior to this. About a week and a half ago, I came in to work and my employee left me a note telling me that she had a male friend add Microsoft Word to the computer. I was very upset that someone I didnt know touch my computer and that she didn't ask me for permission. The next day or a couple of days after that, the compute started to stall a lot. The company software would take forever to boot up almost every morning. It would take me about 45 minutes to boot it up. One morning it didn't boot up at all and I had to call the tech support for the software company. I also got one warning last week that my computer had a possible virus due to something recently added on. I got upset and suspicious but I just exited the warning because I figured it was the MW and nothing else. Then, the monitor started acting funny, too. It would turn on and off. But I would jiggle the cable on back of the monitor and it would turn back on. The same thing happened the next day with the monitor, and again I would jiggle it for awhile until it stayed on. I thought that it was weird if the problem came from the tower if the jiggling was working, which made it seem like it was the monitor. Anyway, about 3 days later my employee was the first to tell me that nothing was no longer showing on the screen.
Since I was upset and coudln't help to suspect that her friend may have done something wrong, she had him come back and look at it again. He believes its the memory. He said that 75% adding more memory will solve the problem. If not, next he will test the power supply and replace cmos button battery. And if still nothing, then he said he will have to replace the mother board, which he thinks is not worth the repair. Do you feel it could be the memory because I have never heard of memory causing this type of thing. This guy has a business card, but I don't know who he is or how good he is because he did it without my permission.
Wow that sounds like a very frustrating situation. I never let anyone on my machine because a lot of people like to install there own programs or make there own modifications for there use and it can be a pain when someone makes un needed or unwanted changes. To answer that question if the graphics card is built into the motherboard it shares the system memory and uses it as video memory as well. Yes if the memory has malfunctioned it can cause it not to start and not to function. usually a way to test this is if you remove all memory cards turn the computer on and it beeps it means the memory is missing and if you put the memory back in and does nothing it usually means the memory is bad or one of the memory cards are bad if there are more that one. However if jiggling that cable allowed for it to come on it could mean there was a connection problem down at the computers end and if it was loose or the connector was loose on the card itself it could have caused a short or malfunction directly to the card. As for the power supply being bad usually you get an orange or amber power light.
What causes the memory to malfunction? And if it malfunctioned and u said that it an cause it not to start and not to function. What do u mean because the computer does start.
So not adding a program like MW would make it malfunction? It's not a virus then?
Yes, I believe he had something to do with it . Because my computer had no issues until almost immediately right after he touched it. Since it's a friend of my employee who allowed him to do it, she is defending him and promised me that it wasn't his fault. But I keep telling her that there is no way I can be sure of that.
I'm really sorry that happened to you. I really am, When the repair is being done I would highly advise you have someone you know do the work.

Insider's Perspective: Cage Uncaged
By Elana Estrin
In 1952, pianist David Tudor walked onstage, bowed, seated himself at the piano, and closed the lid. For the next four minutes and 33 seconds, Tudor did not play a single note. This was the premiere of avant-garde composer John Cage's seminal silent work, 4'33" (Four minutes and 33 seconds), Cage's favorite but most disputed composition. Born in 1912, Cage is considered to be one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. A highly controversial composer to this day, Cage pushed music's limits, forcing people to reconsider its possibilities.
Some hints about who John Cage was as a composer, philosopher, and friend can be found at the Ransom Center, which houses numerous letters written by John Cage in multiple collections. The majority are in the Nancy Wilson Ross collection, acquired in 1972. Ross, a novelist and writer, was particularly interested in eastern philosophy. She also corresponded with Aldous Huxley, Wassily Kandinsky, Allen Ginsberg, and Eleanor Roosevelt, among others.
Ross and Cage's correspondence spans at least 40 years: the Ransom Center's earliest letter is from 1940, and the latest is from 1980. Ross seems to have had a profound impact on Cage. In Silence, Cage's most influential book, he writes: "one of the liveliest lectures I ever heard was given by Nancy Wilson Ross at the Cornish School in Seattle. It was called 'Zen Buddhism and Dada.'"
This reference alone indicates that Cage's correspondence with Ross is important, says Andrew Dell'Antonio, Associate Professor of Music at The University of Texas at Austin Butler School of Music.
"The fact that Cage nods to her in Silence means that her lecture really was significant. How much have people paid attention to that? My guess is that these letters are very significant."
In Cage's early letters to Ross, written when Cage was 27 and Ross was 39, Cage tells Ross about his tireless efforts to establish a Center for Experimental Music. He asks for support and advice in several letters, desperately making the case for new music. On August 16, 1940, he wrote: "The situation with regard to music may be stated simply: A broad field of research in music is opening. It will be marvelous to work in it... I need to have the support of many individuals. Can you suggest some? Would the Museum of Modern Art help? Music has really been tardy in its development... It must be done, because it is necessary. I am like a horse now with blinders: I can see only this one future."
Caroline O'Meara, Assistant Professor of Music in the Butler School of Music, notes that even at this early stage in his career, Cage is intent on collaboration, appealing for help to establish a communal center for new music.
"Generally with Cage, you don't get the feeling that he wants to be the only one, or always the first one," O'Meara says. "He is often the first, but it's not just about being the first. It's also about wanting to actually hear new music. He wants to help change everything."
On October 10, 1940, Cage writes a follow-up letter to Ross, excitedly revealing his electronics-dominated vision for new music: "The possibilities for new music are amazing: music with records and machines, electrical instruments, amplification of sounds we can't otherwise hear, synthetic music on film... It is possible that the presence of inaudible sound in a room could be very useful musically."
Ever-enigmatic, Cage raises some questions about the supposed oxymoron of "inaudible sound."
"I think in this context he's talking about quiet sounds that we don't have access to because they're not amplified. He's not necessarily trying to be paradoxical," O'Meara says.
Dell'Antonio conjectures that Cage is being deliberately philosophical, perhaps embracing the paradox.
"Think of Ross's lecture about Dada and Zen: things which are not things, things which are defined by the paradox within them," Dell'Antonio says. "What more paradoxical statement than the notion of inaudible sound?"
Mills College was Cage's first choice for housing his proposed center. Mills expressed interest, but neither Cage nor Mills gathered enough funding. Cage eventually gave up and moved to Chicago to teach experimental music at the Bauhaus School. According to Mills College's website, "it was not until more than twenty-five years later, through a generous grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, that Cage's dream became a reality." Today, thanks in part to Cage's efforts, Mills's Center for Contemporary Music is one of the most progressive centers for new music.
Cage noted that the word "mushroom" directly precedes "music" in many dictionaries, and Cage happened to be a mycologist—a mushroom expert. He once used his mushroom expertise to win 5 million lire on an Italian quiz show. Ross seems to have nurtured this passion. In a letter from 1971, she writes: "I intend to call you when the mushroom chalice—that sort of Thor's cup I described to you—grows again on the old tree root." In 1974 she writes: "I keep thinking that maybe sometime I'll lure you to our place in the North Woods where mushrooms abound on all sides and the peace and joy are quite indescribable: ditto the beauty!"
Ross was keenly aware of her lecture's influence on Cage. In a letter to Cage from 1980, Ross writes: "Our paths have, after all, always run parallel or tandem in a way, with only a few random crossings, yet somehow I feel also with lasting, if invisible, connections. I was delighted to see some years back in your book Silence mention of my long ago lecture on Dada and Zen at the Cornish School. Bonnie Bird who burst into tears at the end of it has amazingly kept a xerox of it all these years (forty) which she gave to me in London a few years ago. I promptly misplaced it; to my great sorrow. Perhaps it will some day surface among the alps of papers I've been assembling for the Humanities Division archives at the University of Texas." In fact, box 69 of Ross's collection at the Ransom Center contains a copy of Ross's "Zen Buddhism and Dada" lecture.
While Cage sought her support 40 years prior, Ross writes in this letter that Cage had a profound influence on her as well. She describes one of Cage's concerts she attended around 1940: "I traveled straight to the concert from a hospital bed you may also remember, bringing with me a badly suppurating thumb in an oversize bandage and some temporary face scars which I'd acquired while examining an 'unloaded' tear gas gun from the Chinese-Japanese front. Although I in no way expected it to happen, your music (the titles of which I cannot now recall) 'healed' me. I felt myself very definitely coming together—unmistakably! I must have told you then—but perhaps not. I'm rather shy about such infrequent miracles."
Earlier in the same letter, Ross elaborates on her shyness. She tells Cage that his biographer, Roy Close, has scheduled a visit with her. She writes that she could share this story with the biographer, but "caution in speech on this subject is of course paramount these days when words like 'togetherness, one-ness, chakras, centering, spaces' etc., etc. are spread around as carelessly and lavishly as peanut butter in a Den Mother's kitchen. So I shall have to be very careful how I express any of this to Mr. Close. I find as I grow more specifically aware of life's miracles, I am less and less anxious to chat about them over martinis, or herb tea, for that matter."
It doesn't appear that the biographer ever published a biography on John Cage, but Ross's reticence is noteworthy.
"I'm curious how open she was to him," Dell'Antonio says. "It sounds like she's saying she's going to keep her cards close to her chest because she doesn't want the biographer to misinterpret what she might say about this connection to eastern spirituality. Everyone talks about chakras now. But in 1940, this was a new language for them when they were trying to walk in new directions."
Correspondence in the Ransom Center's collection of contemporary composer Peter Garland, reveals another side of Cage. Cage wrote on July 8, 1991: "I will apply myself to your problems, try to find a solution. I first thought you should change your mind but unfortunately that would change your music and your spirit both of which must live as they are. Please stay with Susan. You will never find her in someone else. She is a lovely person and has none of the problems with which you have surrounded yourself. She is more than lovely; she loves you. She loves others too and proves it through her shop which attracts them to her. Do what you can to repair my damage to your relationship."
This cryptic letter is difficult to decipher without Garland's missing letter to Cage. But, Dell'Antonio says, we can guess what Garland probably wrote to Cage and what Cage's response means.
Cage is 78 years old at the time, and the cryptic sentence "do what you can to repair my damage to your relationship" probably doesn't mean that he's been philandering. Rather, Dell'Antonio guesses that Garland wrote a desperate letter to Cage, explaining that he wants to be like Cage and so he has to break up with Susan.
"Cage says, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't throw your relationship down the tubes.' But he starts off saying if you change your mind, it would change your spirit," Dell'Antonio says. "I think philosophically that's an interesting insight. It's a principle that Cage stood by, that ultimately you can't do something someone else tells you to do, creatively or otherwise."

Soul Seeker (I Am That Man) - Poem by Onalethuso Petruss Ntema
i saw the man
over the rainbow of my eyes
his shadow rendered me
to follow through
to the man's hut
over the shore of my eyes
the man smiled with ease
his eyes ran to my knees
his face came to my toes
but his hands were longer
his voice roared not in anger
softly and tender
the man i saw
were the man i know
and the dream became clearer
when i woke up nearer
to the man i am today
and that man inspires my day
that man is a soul seeker
that seeks a soul by night
and finds a soul by day
to grow and become
the shield to overcome
all matters of living, on my own
i am that soul seeker
whence i seek, the way
of seasons that season
in their own season
amid the rains and dry sun days
but still bloom with effort

There's no reason the sixers should lose this game
So when they do I won't be surprised
I read this on Brew Hoop today and then checked it out and it' true: The Sixers Turnover Rate (percentage of possessions ending in a TO) is the best in the league. Last year, they were 21st.
Pretty crazy, considering their PG is 20.
Especially when all of us are critical of his turnovers to different levels.
It probably has more to do w/ the low turnover rates of the secondary ballhandlers (Lou and AI9 both turn the ball over at very low rates). Jrue's TOR is 8th-worst among PGs who play 25+ minutes/game, which isn't really something to be ashamed of, considering the company he's in and raw numbers. He's maybe a percentage point below average for starters, then everyone else is pretty low (outside of turner, who doesn't handle the ball much at all).
As a rookie I sometimes thought of Keyon Dooling as Jrue's "floor."
While an optimist could call Salmon's the "floor" for Turner.
Say Turner is the first off the bench for the Sixers, who does Dooling guard?
Meaning Turner is in for Meeks.
PG: Jrue
SG: Turner
SF: Iguodala
PF: Brand
C: Hawes/Speights
PG: Salmons
SG: Dooling
SF: Ilyasova
PF: Mbah A Moute
C: Bogut
If you get that personnel on the floor, Dooling will have to guard either Jrue or Turner. Both of those guys have size on Dooling, and they should be able to take advantage of it.
Isn't that something we talk about almost every game, and almost every game they don't go into the post or exploit matchups? This is something that always strikes me about D'Antoni-led teams. Yes, they shoot lots of 3s, and they are very good at the secondary break, but they also exploit the crap out of mismatches.
Jrue vs Earl Boykins is happening at some point in this game. Can't wait.
My guess is that Collins immediately goes to Lou when Boykins comes in. I can't explain it, for the life of me, but that's what he's done against Boston when Nate Robinson came in.
Ugh. What is with Philly coaches being terrible in game managers. Reid/Charlie now Doug.
Could Doug just not know how to handle guards in game? Secretly tanking? Jrue is the most talented Point guard he's ever coached, so maybe he's still learning.
Video: Collins pregame on bunched-up Eastern Conference race, Iguodala getting two more practices in before playing:
can't wait for Nocioni to get decent burn in the first half, play like complete shit on both ends and then not come back. Then after the game hear Doug go "oh hey listen, well Noc just didn't have it tonight. He tried to gut it out but he just couldn't play"
Alright, I've got the Sixers feed on League Pass. Zumoff is pumped up. Eric Snow finally made it out of Atlanta, so no Jim Lynam. I'm excited.
And Hawes loses the tip. No surprise there.
Eh, I'm fine w/ a dooling contested three.
Hmmn, they have Jrue on Dooling, Jodie on Salmons. And Dooling is running the point.
Pretty sure Jrue was fouled on that drive, but he wasn't decisive. Might be why he didn't get the call.
Energy level doesn't look great early. Milwaukee is helpless on the offensive end, luckily.
Does this team have even an average long range shooter? Ilyasova's known as one I guess. The Sixers really should pack it in.
I wish Iguodala would've spent all that down time working on his foul shot.
Now that was a sissy hook.
Sissy hook/runner. Sweet.
Ditto on Dre at the stripe.
Shitty foul by Brand. Don't let him get the shot off.
Yet again, the offensive boards are a killer early on.
Wade has to be getting more endorsement money than LeBron, right? I mean, Wade's in every other commercial. I wonder if "The Decision" wound up costing LeBron some money because he's so hated now.
It did - like rape cost Kobe money - in the short term - if the heat win (and lsomeone tells lebron to stfu) he'll get the endorsements back
Well, Hawes has already played more minutes than he did last game. Guess Doug is happy w/ his effort so far.
Iguodala with his first hoop in a while.
ughhh...leaguepass is f*cked up. only game i can watch is pistons-raptors. might as well shoot myself.
Turner first off the bench.
ET's the first of the bench, nice.
Jrue and EB have that play down. Just keep running it.
Not sure why they aren't fouling Bogut on the blocks.
Nice move by ET.
that's a shot that I am confident ET could get off in the final minute.
Much better to have Lou pump fake three times and take a fadeaway 20-footer.
Offensive? WTF? No way was he set.
Looked like he was to me, close one though.
What do you think Turner was saying to Hawes there? my guess:
Why are you so useless?
...'teach me how to fadeaway on every shot attempt'...
Missed the early part of the game - didn't know they had already gotten into it before the thing in the 4th...
Man that Durant commercial freaks me out. I wish they'd stop showing it. It's like "To catch a predator" or something.
Let's see what the team does to Lou. Jrue had the offense running pretty smooth, especially considering it was the Bucks D.
Don't like the hook for Jrue.
Brand offered zero help on that CDR drive. That's why Turner had to foul him.
He just picked up his second, too.
Yep, Lou in match up with Boykins.
Sigh, this is a mismatch in favor of the bucks.
Jrue has been playing the whole first quarter lately. We don't have a b2b do we? He pulled sort of early, to me.
Nope, next game is Monday.
Blown bunny, Lou. then no one stops the ball leading to a wide-open three.
There's Lou's patented blown layup, followed by a Nocioni dribble drive.
Maggette ate his lunch on that dribble drive. Do you have any idea how rare that is?
Haha, good point.
It's the Lou show. He better keep scoring.
Zumoff says "He's got a lot of stuff" for anyone who attempts a post move.
A good end to a quarter, for once.
Iguodala's three to end the quarter pushes the lead to 5 after one.
Terrible, terrible offense. Lou hits a three against the shot clock to bail them out of the mess he created over-dribbling.
Better that time. Still too much Lou dribbling for no purpose, though.
Great look by Reese.
Much better that time. Lou did something with the dribble and Speights w/ a pretty find of AI9 for the dunk.
That really is a good look for Speights, flash to the foul line for a catch and shoot.
Good pass to Dre for the dunk as well. That's not gonna happen every day.
Speights is playing really well as of late. About time.
Iguodala looks noticeably better physically tonight.
Very good. That's a couple possessions in a row where Lou didn't just dribble for no reason, easy hoops as a result.
Yep, if you're gonna dribble at least be going somewhere and not just standing there doing it.
Meridith's a big girl, but she has a high-quality rack.
oh snap...rebooted my cable box and not only do i get the home broadcast, but we killin em. THINGS IS GOOD
uh, Thad going to his right in getting a bucket.
Hey, someone finally fouled Bogut.
Brian I expect a "How Sick Is Thad?" post soon...
What is the percentage likelihood that these five guys will EVER be on the floor in the guts of the game this season?
0%, roughly.
Look at Speights!
Though I guess he's always hustled for points.
Jrue in for Lou.
Collins: Good job Lou, take a seat.
I agree.
Jrue w/ a couple shaky possessions upon his return. Wonder if Collins goes right back to Lou.
Heh, give Speights the assist.
Hated that possession. Too much dribbling by AI9.
Nice save by Speights. But the airball from Dre?
Brand for Speights. I wouldn't have minded Speights playing a few more minutes. I'm sure Brand's knees feel the same way.
Too much dribbling for Jrue. He looks pissed to me. Probably about sitting so long.
Ironically, Lou and Speights have run the best offense this half.
The rest of the team has had a lot of good shotmaking, including that Jrue shot.
Jrue and EB were clicking early. Then Jrue went to the bench.
Ugh. Turner coughed it up twice in that possession w/ bad and/or lazy passes.
I wouldn't mind Brand catching that pass. He's calling for the ball, and maybe it was a little low, but he whiffed on it as if he wasn't ready for it.
Yeah, maybe he should've handled it, but it was a bad pass. Short hopped him.
The Bucks can't be happy that Jennings is doing the dunk contest like a week or two after coming back from foot surgery.
I typed that before snow/zumoff had their on air debate. Yes, I'm ashamed of myself for thinking along the same lines.
Fuck, Turner. These passes are terrible.
Another poor pass by Turner. His passing is a bit off a lot, that's concerning.
And that's the shot we get out of the timeout? Come on, doug.
That's like 4 turnovers almost in a row, and that bad jumper from Lou. How about letting your PG run a fucking play or two, huh?
Give the ball back to Lou, Thad. He's just standing there.
Shocking shot to end the quarter for the Sixers, huh?
Pitiful end to the half. Absolutely pitiful.
PHI 55, MIL 49 after two.
I love letting Jrue stand in the corner while Lou dribbles the air out of the basketball. Love it.
It's fun, right?
Meeks never got back in the game after leaving w/ 4:44 left in the first. Pretty odd for him, actually. 0/3 from the floor, maybe Doug using the "if he's not hot, why play him?" philosophy.
DC's infatuation with Lou these last several days has really caused a decline in the level of overall team play. His leash is so absurdly long, I can't stand it.
There's a great high school game on ESPN right now: Michael Gilchrist, who looks like the #1 pick in 2 years against Doc Rivers' son, who is going to be a terrific NBA shooting guard.
I would love to see either of them in a Sixers uniform down the road.
Watching, What number is each? (what team is each on as well lol)
Gilchrist is on St. Pats- He's just a versatile 6'7 athlete. He's gonna be a great defender. Rivers' scoring ability of the dribble is fantastic.
think Rivers is a little overrated as an NBA prospect. I'm going to watchin Gilchrist twice in the next three weeks in person.
I wouldn't mind Jodie getting a quick hook.
Bad start to the third, on both ends. They need to wake up. Three for AI9.
Jrue just picked up his third, and it was that play I was talking about earlier today, where he's rushing to get back to his guy on the P&R. Ugh.
Huge board for Jrue to start that break. Three on the other end for Jodie.
Man's board by Jrue, push by Dre, 3 for Jodie.
Too fucking easy for Bogut.
Jrue with another TOV. Not liking this start.
Shit, Jrue. Get your head out of your ass.
Why Jrue? Why runt your hip into him? Why? 30 ft from basket?
Close em up w/ a 3!
Three for Jrue. Need him on the floor playing smarter than this. He's begging for his fourth foul right now.
2 good defensive possessions in a row.
Iguodala should've taken that himself. Meeks cannot finish.
That break the ball should've never touched the floor, Dre gave the pass to Jodie a li'l too late.
B/c Jrue gave a crisp ass outlet pass to Dre.
Jrue goes over that dribble handoff, 40 feet from the hoop? Why?
No idea.
here comes the Team Lou effect. Bucks will be down a bucket in no time
Too easy for Bogut. Through the double, too.
This lineup with 3 small guards blows. Jrue is guarding Maggette.
Great way to get Jrue his fourth foul, too.
Can't we just blow these guys out w/ what happened the last two games? Please.
He better get Turner some run in this half. Teach, don't bench him.
Please get Jrue in the post w/ Boykins on him. Pretty, please?
Good take Jrue.
Jrue w/ another nice outlet pass. Lou misses the trey.
What? That foul wasn't on Jrue. Hawes fucking mugged him.
I still hate Lou, but he does make that left corner jumper 85 percent of the time.
And his fourth, ugh. He was gonna sit eventually anyway.
Was he even in on that play? he was guarding the ball on the opposite side of the floor.
i would love to know who is voting on these AT&T polls.
Why no Speights in this situation? He played well in the first half.
He subbed Nocioni in the game for Jrue instead of Turner. I'm turning on Collins by the minute.
Strong end here now. Get it to around 15.
Brand still hasn't missed.
Brand is on fire.
Another terrible end to a quarter. At least we got a Lou 30-footer at the buzzer.
No Marc, that three was not healthy by Jrue.
How do you play Nocioni over Turner? That's just fucking stupid.
Nocioni 3/12 since injuring his finger. He's not effective on offense. He'd be better in street clothes.
Doug is coaching like a real asshole this week
I'd like to see Jrue for 12 minutes here, and some actual offense being run. Pretty sure neither of those things is going to happen, though.
BTW, the defense has been atrocious to this point.
I've got MIL at something like 72 points on 65 possessions. Make that 74 on 66.
wait, so...wait...is that lou starting the fourth at the 1?
do you think they're showcasing Lou? why is he dominating the ball even when Jrue's in the game?
How did that shot go in?
"He sprouted wings."
I can't believe they're gonna lose to this team of 2nd stringers. at home.
It's not hard to believe who this team loses to. They did lose to the Wizards twice, and in some style too.
Of course if it's gonna be close down the stretch, you can trust all the plays being called for Lou, and yet another close loss. It's a secret tanking mission.
wtf... they get a gooden 3 which is good and then grab an o baord and convert.
Good block Speights. Win this game please. Is it too much to ask?
I hate to say this, but Speights looks noticeably better than Brand on defense.
Lou shooting, again.
hahahha MoSpeezy lookin all tuff blockin Earl Boykins
Good to see Speights trying to rub it in on Boykins. I wasn't sure if Speights was really tough, but that seals it for me.
What a selfish basketball player. My god I hate Lou
Our best chance is if Doug decides he needs to get Lou a breather before he comes in and "takes over" for the final three minutes. Maybe Jrue can give them enough of a lead when Lou goes out.
Defensive rebounding. Maybe important in basketball?
Shit a 3 off an o board. come on score please.
rrggghhh....a Boykins o board...come on and gooden makes.
Dre w a nice one.
thk you Iguodala
Well, Iguodala should be able to score every time down the floor as long as Maggette is on him.
another offensive rebound by Boykins? Jesus Christ.
Spencer getting some hard earned minutes. Get em Spence..
Wow, Hawes and Turner getting into it, huh? You guys see that?
I saw it. I logged in (just go home) just to ask about it - so I wasn't imagining things?
I also saw Hawes kind of testy a bit later too with someone else.
WTF was that about?
Hawes wanted him to shoot it. That much was clear. Not sure what the larger issue is w/ sissy hook, though.
They were mouthing at each other - he threw a fore arm a bit into his chest - and then collins took him out - probably cause collins liked seeing hawes have ' heart'
Wait why is Hawes checking in? And for Thad?
why'd iggy just give ET the forearm shove
or was it Hawes
Hawes yelled at him to shoot it. Turner basically said fuck you. Then I saw someone shove Turner, but couldn't tell who it was.
Looked like hawes (pigment wise) to me
I couldn't see who shoved him, he and Hawes were yelling at each other.
looked like ET was telling him to relax. someone came in with the elbow. thought it was Iggy
If one hates Iguodala one will blame him for everything.
The arm was white
I just went back and watched it, the arm wasn't white, and it was definitely Iguodala.
Hawes made the shooting motion and yelled at him, Turner said something, then Iguodala shoved him with the forearm.
It looked more to me like Iguodala's forearm was more of a "call down, young fella" type gesture, and not malicious. I'm not sure what Hawes was saying, outside of the obvious take the shot, nor what Turner said in response. I'm not a good enough lip reader for that, although it obviously looked like Turner took exception to the criticism.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnd..... Lou in for Turner.
Well at least we know we don't need anyone to yell at Lou to "shoot it"
And Turner got the hook for not taking that corner three. Lou Time!!!
Lou would have pump faked it. I'm disgusted.
Just having Lou on the floor disgusts me, even if he's scoring well like today. I just don't like that guy as a basketball player. Period.
Hawes w/ the charge. lol
7 minutes for the #2 overall pick tonight, folks.
makes no sense
He was really bad in that one stretch in the first half. I have no problem benching him for that, but he should've gotten back into the game much earlier in the second half.
Was Jrue not really liking what Hawes had to say right there in that meeting w/ Doug? Looked like he didn't want to acknowledge him. He looked pissed.
Hope he's pissed enough to win this game for us.
Shit, missed it. Do we have a mutiny brewing?
Like I said hawes seems testy tonight - maybe he's upset because he realizes he chose the wrong political party?
Or maybe he's PMS?
Come on, hit the freebies.
Is Brand gonna contest Gooden a little better of these days?
Snow is absolutely right about Jrue going East/West on Boykins. Go right at him and bully him.
The Bucks look like they are gonna get to 100, it's never good when the Bucks score 100 on you. Especially without Jennings.
Just put Jrue in the post one fucking time. Just to satisfy my curiosity.
Last 3 minutes - Jrue on the floor - not bringing up the ball - consigned to stand in the corner
Yep. Nothing we haven't seen before.
If Lou hits tough shots or gets someone to bite on his pump fakes, we might win. If not, we won't be able to score.
Hell I saw Andre and Turner bringing the ball up ?
Spencer? Ah fuck it I'll take it. Just win this MFer, not these scrubs, please....
It looks like they are just running offense so far in relative crunch time, in spite of Lou's presence. That Hawes shot was in the flow.
Shit, even Brand missed. Looks like another one of those days.
Jrue should be attacking him mercilessly. Just drive literally right the fuck at him, he'll bounce right off him.
They're going to Salmons in the post. Fifth on Jrue.
If I'm Jrue, I'd definitely be pissed about being overlooked in favour of Lou. It doesn't make sense. I mean, Jrue's the one carrying/running the offense most of the game. If it's close it's because he's been keeping us in it. Why take the duties off him then and give it to that selfish prick Lou?
Spence w/ the rotation and contest? Yeah I laughed too...
Ugh, come the fuck on.
No one on this fucking team can rebound
Any chance they get a hoop in the final minute?
Spencer with the putrid attempt at the board, THey get a second chance, shot clock violation. Come on, guys. Beat these cats man....
Lou had a hand in that as well. His guy got it.
Dear Doug Collins
with every play with under 5 minutes to go that lou brings up the ball - i hate you more
Great, Lou made a step back three where nobody else touched it. That's sustainable.
heh. does he ever pass?
There you go. Dribble for 20 seconds and hit a tough shot. Yay Lou!
Lou for 3! I can smile but it seems to hard to usually stand up....
Check out what it said in ESPN's box score - Andres Nocioni blocks Andre Iguodala's 11-foot jumper - I literally LOL-ed.
"a man's rebound"
Zumoff is priceless.
Well, at least he got Lou out for defense. First offense/defense sub I've seen him make this year. Timeout to get Lou back in.
He puts Turner in for Lou and Salmons can't exploit them. What a novel idea!
I don't like the "let's play allen iverson" final minutes of Lou and DC. But nice 3.
Lou models his game after AI. I don't understand Doug - he understands the importance of ball movement and moving without the ball, yet he gives the reins to Lou!
good sub by collins. turner for D.
16 seconds on the shot clock. Lou dribbling for 14 then taking a jumper? Leaving 10 seconds for MIL to hit the game-winner. That's my prediction.
ugh. sounds about right....
any more brilliant predictions?
He put Meeks in for Thad? Can you imagine this unit trying to defend their big unit?
I have a feeling Jrue didn't want to pass it to Lou there :)
Hey Lou
That's why you suck
Great fucking work, Lou. Excellent.
So it went from Jrue throwing it in to Dre throwing it in, both times the look was for Lou and he does some stupid shit and we throw up a prayer...
Nice play, coach.
The Bucks should have played offense against that unit, they would have had two easy post matchups on Jodie and Jrue.
At least Collins has that one timeout left to advance the ball and get Lou a desperation shot at the win after MIL takes the lead on this possession.
If MIL leaves any time on the clock, that is.
OMG! What the F was that play?!! lol
76ers begging to lose. just begging.
WOWWWOWOWOWOWOWWW. talk about a horrible possession
That Iguodala guy blows.
Doug Collins is a good coach who thinks Lou Williams is his closer
And who seals the win - the guy everyone hates
lets give andre iguodala 17,442 win shares
Terrible coaching by Skiles. The one guy you don't go at is Iguodala.
Who else thought that Boykins three was good?
Me. As soon as I saw him touch the ball I figured it was good.
Since he had a good look i assumed it was going in or that the rebound would end up in boguts hand (folks seemed to forget to grab it)
It was just hanging there on the floor for a minute, not a lot of urgency for a 1 point game and then Turner picked it up.
Nevermind, Brand pulled it in.
I'm surprised Boykins didn't get another O board and a put back slam.
me. thought it was in.
CSN Postgame INterview, Lou instead of Iguodala - Douches
THANKS AI9!!!!!!! We won!!
Phew, thank you. but what a fraud of a victory. damn, that was pure luck to bag that one.
There's some discontent somewhere amongst this roster. Where, I don't know.
I don't think Hawes is very well-liked. From what I read, he seems like a selfish prick. And Jrue must be pissed at the whole team, just on principle.
Let's not forget that he's a very vocal republican as well - that probably doesn't go over well with a lot of NBA players
Yeah. I always want to point that out, but I hold back. Don't want to offend people. But I think he throws it in people's faces. He's got to realize that the views he has are not favorable to blacks (or Asians, or Hispanics, or Europeans....)
I have no problem pointing things out that could cause issues. Things I've read about hawes and his interests strike me constantly as right wing red neck of the todd rundgren variety.
Course it could just that I hate Spencer Hawes as a basketball player and hope he suffers a season ending injury
I think you mean Ted Nugent. Is Todd a right-winger, too? (Isn't he from Phila?)
Absolutely, you are correct, my bad
And Lou is the bud light player of the game. of course.
he's got the most points so. Geez. Who's voting for these stuff?
Great play by Iggy, quite a rollercoaster game
so....way to go Lou, DAMMIT LOU, and AI saves the game, just another day in the life of the 76ers!
Igudoala is your player of the game. I would've actually given it to Lou (not his fault he's in that role, and he played it well tonight), but the defensive play to win the game + a sick line across the board for AI9.
Odds that no one asks Doug Collins about the Turner Hawes thing?
what a fucking relief. another bad win. should have beaten these journeymen by 20.
questions: Is Brand hurt? Is Lou delusional? Does Collins owe Nocioni money?
Great play by andre, quite a rollercoaster game.... didn't comment in game thread, watching with other people.. was very weird how much trouble Jrue was having with Boykins, really feel they could have exposed that matchup better than Jrue trying to dribble around that quick-handed little athletic freak
only makes sense for that ball to somehow find its way out to the 3 point line for a wide open look after an incredible defensive play.
Totally expected that to go in.
Collins pulled Iguodala after the foul on Boykins and then was 'coaching' him on the bench. I didn't like that he never brought him back in either.
Sorry - meant Speights - my bad
podcast tonight?
The worst part of playing Lou down the stretch was the spot that put Jrue in, having to guard Salmons in the post with foul trouble.
Well at least Turner is a defensive specialist at the end of the game.
7 minutes for ET. Excuse my French, but that's bullshit. Nocioni- 15, Jodie- 15, Lou- 29.
It's like Doug Collins doesn't want ET to get into a groove. Tom posted something about how this could be his 3rd double digit game in a row, and he only gives ET 10 minutes. Also, if there was ever a game to go with Jrue/ET/AI, this was it.
His only two shots are a beautiful spinning turnaround jumper, and a nice drive where he draws two free throws. Yes, he turned the ball over twice, once clearly telegraphing a play set up for Lou. He got hooked for that, which is fine. But teach him and put him back in, don't pull him for good. He plays pretty good D too, but that doesn't matter.
Speights should have played way more than 9 minutes tonight. He played very well and defended, but that doesn't matter because he bit on a pump fake. Brand played 39 minutes and simply played poor D. He was the main culprit for Gooden's outburst. That gets away from the simple point though: His knees can't play 39 minutes!
Come on man - look at all those people who don't bite on Lou Williams pump fake, so obviously you shouldn't be falling for pump fakes from earl boykins :)
Why the talk about Brand's knees? Did I miss something?
How much worse would it be for ET to play 20 - 25 minutes and mess up a few times? Nocioni and Lou mess up just as much, if not more. And their defense is terrible. If I'm the coach, Turner is back in the starting lineup and playing half the 1st quarter and most of the 4th. (Why is Meeks still starting?)
I think Doug is worried about Evans psyche
I can't name one thing Nocioni does well on the basketball court. So naturally he plays twice as much our #2 pick who is starting to play well (and really was playing well tonight outside of some rookie mistakes: They are rookies Doug, they are going to screw up from time to time). He also does this while hurt.
I hated this win, gotta say. I'm sick of the way he's coaching.
I won't be upset if he bows out next year. Is coach continuity really necessary for Jrue/ET if said coach isn't putting them in situations to succeed?
Well they finally found a team that closed worse then they did. But I guess they've been on the other end of these ugly games, so you take it.
Turner and Jrue combining for only 7 shots. Jrue with the poor game I semi-expected. Not sure how much of it has to do with the team re-acclimating to new rotations with Iguodala back. But Collins is sort of clueless as to what to due with the guad minutes.
Sometime soon he will have to decide who gives up the minutes. because you can't play 6 guys between 9-24 minutes and expect to have any kind of rhythm. Noccioni, Young or Turner will have to DNP, and we all hope its Nocioni...
I hope it's Nocioni AND young
Speights, Turner, Young
There's your 8 man rotation :)
Young's got to play. He's being jerked around again like last year. He's never in for more than 4 minutes at a time, is he?
I have no idea how long Youngs run usually are - I'll look it up this weekend and get back to you.
To me Young is the forward version of Lou - all he does is score
He's part of the 8 man rotation i don't mind seeing.
Turner is your guard, Young is your forward, Speights is your big man.
Unless of course Collins wants to realize Hawes SUCKS and put his ass on the bench
Thanks. But Young's rebounding is improved this year, a little.... But yeah, there's not a lot of court awareness there.
I know why he's not starting Speights - he wants him to earn it, and I think he's starting to get it. But why doesn't Hawes have to earn it? It's not like he's Bill Russell on the defensive end.
Hawes to me is no better than Speights defensively - they both suck - but Speights is better offensively than Hawes - and doesn't fall over in a weak breeze
Collins rep with younger players wasn't good coming into this job - but I don't know if that's fact or fiction. Derek once did some very good research into Larry Brown and rookies but I haven't seen anyone do that for Collins to see if his anti youth rep is accurate
That's what I always hear. But Hawes is young. He's the same age as Speights, I think. '07 draft, freshman. Speights was a soph in the '08 draft.
Who starts at the 2, Meeks? Or Lou?
Yes - I was lou out of the rotation and never ever to play again
That's harsh. But I understand. I do not get it. Doug is gonna lose Jrue if he's not careful - he's not stupid that kid.
The guard minutes and rotations are it to some degree, but there's seemed to be some "other" crap tonight, not seen usually. Can't say for sure that's stemming from Doug, but if it isn't it's not good either. Hope he squelches it and it never leaks out, cause i'm all for a tight lockerroom. That's none of the media and the fan's business.
right on
Thumbs up for the defense/offense subs though. Funny it's taken 39 games for our coach to decide that's a good idea. Well I won't hate on him too much, at least he didn't say something stupid like "our best players are our best defenders".
To me, they set up Turner for a three on that play. He knows that's not really his game right now, so he wanted to attack. He kind of forced it and went the wrong way. Good thought, poor execution, but a nice play by the guy who was guarding him to knock it away. Still not the end of the world, 6 seconds left on the clock.
His teammates wanted him to shoot it, that's a good thing. He was probably pissed they put in Nocioni, Meeks and Lou for him. I would have been too. Naturally he got the hook for it.
I'll leave with one positive- That last game was proven as just rust for Iguodala. He looked much better physically tonight.
I really want to see Iguodala, Jrue and Turner all have a few goiod games together. And all get good minutes.
What are the chances we see that this year?
What are the chances that Dougs 'vertigo' forces him to retire?

The family is the foundation of our society. It is so easy, however, for the family unit to lose focus and fall into a myriad of problems. Sometimes the need is to involve the whole family in counseling to understand the unique dynamics that each member brings. Today there also has to be strong focus on blended families since it is quite prevalent in our society.

The basis of society is the family. Growing up around other people, we learn how to treat one another and what to expect from the world. When there is conflict in our households, every family member has the potential to carry that conflict or attitude out into the world-- our schools, workplaces, the playgrounds, even into our churches. Family therapy can diagnose and treat the conflicts that we all encounter from time to time.

Families provide a unique complexity of dynamics and relationships. Different personalities, families of origin and opinions/perspectives often lead to conflict among two or more members within the family. While there may be one "identified client", it is important to work together as a system to make changes and grow. I work with families on communication skills, conflict resolution and becoming more aware of how their behaviors effect others around them.

The Santa Maria Valley YMCA was founded in the early 1930's and established through the Santa Maria Y's Men's Club. Thirteen acres of land were donated to start a resident camp which was operated until 1960.
In 1962, a building was erected on South McClelland (now the Knights of Columbus Hall).
In 1977, 14 acres were made available by the County of Santa Barbara to the YMCA for a full family facility on Skyway Drive. The current facility building was dedicated in 1984, with an expansion added in 1994. Work on the skate park began in 1998, and the soccer arena was built in 2002. A family park was dedicated in 2005.
Currently, the Santa Maria Valley YMCA serves over 5,800 members, provides childcare, tutoring, diabetes and obesity prevention education for over 500 children, has hundreds more children served in our seasonal camps and teaches over 2,400 children and adults to swim every year.
We collaborate with our local Boys and Girls Club, the City of Santa Maria, Marian Hospital, Good Samaritan Shelter, CASA, Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, AmericCorps and our local foster care to provide integrative and extended services to those who need us the most.

Vivre Crochet Bikini
The bikini is hand-woven and then metallic crocheted. It ties to the top and sides. Available in sizes 6-12.......$375.00
this is just gorgeous. and any time you have a detail on one side like that people are more drawn to your profile which is almost always more flattering.Added 9 Years Ago from Newport News
fun, flirty and simple. you can't go wrong with a classic like this. and i'm LOVING the built in bras on these bikinis!
And to complete the look and spoil yourself just a little bit, behold the just-as-deadly-sexy coverup dress. If it was legal, i would wear this everyday, seriously.
