Detroit Bad Boys - All Posts A community of Detroit Pistons fans since 2005 https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/48119/detroitbadboys-fave.png 2017-07-27T14:29:29-04:00 http://www.detroitbadboys.com/rss/current/ This is an XML content feed.

A year after signing a maximum contract, Drummond's status with the franchise is much less certain

Andre Drummond kept his comments brief and to the point to TMZ, but he sounded like he realized his status as franchise centerpiece isn't quite as firm these days as it has been in the past.

"I play for Detroit now, so we'll keep it at that," Drummond said in response to TMZ about being part of a blockbuster trade. "Anything is possible in this league."

Drummond also retweeted TMZ about the post:

Andre Drummond On Trade Rumblings: 'All I Know Is I'm In Detroit Right Now' https://t.co/UOTfEBvy5P
— TMZ (@TMZ) July 26, 2017

Does that mean Drummond's more likely than we previously thought? Has Stan Van Gundy been letting Drummond know he's been involved in trade talks? Who knows.

But it's at least realistic take from Dre, who has at times had a tendency to step away from reality like earlier this summer when he said he was still an elite center and All Star last season.

Now your thoughts.

The initiative includes a developmental camp and NBA Africa Game 2017.

Andre Drummond will join an impressive group of names for the 15th Basketball without Borders Africa event next week from August 2-5.

Youth under the age of 27 from 26 countries across Africa will participate in several days of developmental camps and community outreach, based out of Johannesburg, South Africa. The event will cap with the NBA Africa Game 2017 on August 5.

Drummond will participate on the Team World roster, along with CJ McCollum, Dirk Nowitzki, Kemba Walker, DeMarcus Cousins, Kyle Lowry, Kristaps Porzingis, Jaylen Brown, Wilson Chandler, Courtney Lee, and Leonardo Barbosa.

They'll face off against Team Africa, whose roster is made up of Luol Deng, Thabo Sefolosha, Victor Oladipo, Dennis Schroder, Bismack Biyombo, Clint Capela, Gordui Dieng, Serge Ibaka, Luc Mbah a Moute, Emmanuel Mudiay, and Salah Mejri. Joel Embiid will also be on the roster, but won't play.

Members of the Team Africa roster include players born in Africa along with second-generation African players.

The game will support UNICEF, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, and SOS Children's Villages South Africa.

The camp names a camp MVP at the close, the alumni of which from other Basketball without Borders include several current NBA players including Nikola Mirotic, Bruno Caboclo, and Dragan Bender. Former Piston Luigi Datome was also a Basketball without Borders attendee at the European event in 2003.

Formerly of Clemson, Nnoko saw time with Pistons' summer league team

The Detroit Pistons have signed Landry Nnoko to a partially guaranteed contract, according to Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype.

Nnoko saw limited action with the Pistons during the Orlando Summer League.

The 6-foot-10 Nnoko is a defensive-minded big man who can rebound, block shots and run the floor.

After seeing consistent time during his four years at Clemson he went undrafted in 2016. He played overseas in Italy last year.

The partially guaranteed nature of the deal likely means Nnoko is getting a little upfront guarantee to convince Nnoko to be an affiliate player with the Pistons and spend the year with the Grand Rapids Drive in the G League.

During his last season at Clemson he averaged 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 22.3 minutes per game.

Yes, even bigger than the new scoreboard they installed at the Palace of Auburn Hills

The Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Red Wings will unveil the largest center-hung scoreboard in the world when Little Caeasars Arena opens next season.

If you thought the new scoreboard the Pistons debuted in 2014 was big well ... this one is actually marginally bigger.

Daktronics, who made the scoreboard for Tigers Stadium in 2012 and the new board at the Palace of Auburn Hills in 2014 is building the new scoreboard in Little Caesars Arena as well, the company announced Monday.

The 5,100-square-foot scoreboard will feature 11 million LEDs. That will be joined by undermounted video displays as well as full wraparound high definition displays througout the arena.

Altogether the full display system will feature 16.5+ million LEDs and measure 13,500 square feet.

Each side of the center display will measure 28 feet high and 43.5 feet wide. The undermount displays will measure 7 feet high and 9.5 feet wide.

"Little Caesars Arena will give fans the best entertainment experience available, including this incredible scoreboard and display system from Daktronics," said Tom Wilson, president and CEO of Olympia Entertainment, in a media release. "Today fans have very high expectations for the size and quality of displays and the information they provide. This system will exceed fan expectations in the seats, in the concourse and in new spaces like the expansive Chevrolet Plaza. Fans seated in the ends of the arena will experience the same size display as those seated on Little Caesars Arena sidelines, an amenity that few other arenas offer today."

The video board that was installed at the Palace of Auburn Hills featured main displays that measured 24 feet high and 42 feet wide with slightly smaller displays on both ends as well as undermount displays.

The patch has arrived

The Detroit Pistons will feature a patch for Flagstar Bank on their jerseys for the 2017-18 season, according to ESPN reporter Darren Rovell, who snapped some photos of the jersey.

This is the first season that the NBA is selling sponsorship on the players' jerseys themselves. Color me unimpressed.

I'm sure Detroit got the best deal they could, and more power to them, but I was at least hoping that the ads would: 1. Be well integrated into the jersey themselves and 2. Play into the theme of Detroit as the Motor City or some connection to the auto industry that so defines Detroit.

Ahh well ....

What do you think of Detroit's patch? Especially compared to some others Rovell also snapped?

Exploring the lack of spacing and ill timed Pistons' offense.

In part one we discussed the importance of Stanley Johnson capitalizing on cutting to the basket.

No matter the game plan the number one defensive bullet point for any team is to disrupt the offense's spacing and timing. Whether it's trapping pick-and-rolls, switching, funneling the ball to the baseline - whatever scheme you believe in - it's all in a effort to throw off the spacing and timing of the jerks on the other side of the ball.

In obvious contrast the goal of the offense is to consistently keep the defense chasing the ball through proper spacing and timing.

Getting beat by a superior defense is one thing. Continually beating yourself is a whole different set of undesirable headaches and for the Pistons, 2016-17 saw more of the latter.

As in part one, the shitty Pistons' spacing and timing (see below) isn't unique to Stanley Johnson but since he's being asked to make a rather large leap next year it's probably best to focus on his development.

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/59cav.jpg?token=1502132378_148b758349d1e844f2da5ca708c69597a8aa12ea" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/59cav.mp4?token=1500922778-k%2FLdPg8k3StVWI7Kb0ZxNX%2Bnv9VpxiUH7Dgg8B2H6bI%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

Let's see here:

Setting an odd screen on the block - check.

Spreading the floor with Ish Smith - check.

Jon Leuer getting away with 5 seconds in the lane - check.

Reggie Jackson with the heave - you know that's a check.

Yeah, it's a team issue as, unfortunately, this isn't a cherry picked example.

Spacing

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/nslqj.jpg?token=1502133178_168bdb09c1d238c533d87b02cd688424931b5d98" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/nslqj.mp4?token=1500923634-ss%2FgTU64c%2BsNDt068aVQe7mnAz0DhDn%2BcSa4B6HVxgo%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

As Tobias Harris drives to his left Johnson creeps closer to the break which absolutely destroys proper spacing as it allows James Ennis to help on the drive and defend Johnson without moving.

And again:

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/euyzp.jpg?token=1502134414_21f26a17eda87faa565cc592b56166a12cd654e9" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/euyzp.mp4?token=1500924851-Pvl0UdgenTEzrWpYBvQ428xauRSHx7y9hZqpRUc18vY%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

Another blocked shot.

In this case, Johnson has one of three reasonable options: clear out to the opposite corner (via backdoor) while the opposite perimeter players shift over one spot, dribble hand-off or STAY in the deep corner - not the break.

Staying in the deep corner would've looked something like this:

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/t0ln6.jpg?token=1502133835_88dc3aa442a44e5331d966409ad407babb8cbcb3" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/t0ln6.mp4?token=1500924235-8Y1SATS4fktndqYNrBc3v557uYG%2Bbg45XgEHXiBX9N4%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

The difference of where Johnson receives those passes are only a couple feet but those are awfully important feet as it completely changes the angle. Kelly Olynyk had to choose between committing to help on the drive or taking away the pass.

Stan Van Gundy has forgotten more about basketball more than I'll ever know but this poorly spaced sequence played out so much over last season that I have to assume it's being coached. Not that he cares - nor should he - but I don't get it.

****

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/col7q.jpg?token=1502135896_4844ccfc781ece4e26119d8bbc4241f01001a5c4" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/col7q.mp4?token=1500926296-xLZR6aod0sNTNoN5RDYoGy023Zj6kS06ivWr7A15ZgE%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

Above, old man Pau Gasol has time to reach on a driving Beno Udrih and recover to contest the Johnson spot up. Giving one defender the chance to dictate two offensive players' decisions is a relative nightmare in regards to spacing.

Remember we want the defense to chase the ball and Johnson is cutting them slack by not sliding with the penetration into the corner. Doing so would've caused Kawhi Leonard to rotate to Johnson giving Andre Drummond perfect position for an easy dump down. What Drummond would've done from there is anyone's guess but it's better basketball than another spot up brick.

****

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/w93nl.jpg?token=1502196892_01f3c9cd11ee17a942eec49f7a12ed84007306c5" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/w93nl.mp4?token=1500987316-dQpi4QTDA%2FlHRq7yjhqKeqP3MNccGXmtYRQJRIHYWZM%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

In this set, the closer Johnson is to the top-of-the-key three point area the worse it becomes for Detroit. Instead he should be closer to the near slot with Reggie Bullock firmly planted in the corner. Again, Johnson gives Brandon Ingram the ability to partially defend two players simultaneously. Clear avenues would open allowing a Johnson drive or drive and kick had Stanley been properly spaced.

****

Timing

Missing Andre Drummond for easy buckets - one of my biggest Detroit offensive irks last year - played out almost on a nightly basis. The blame falls equally on recognition of the defense, poor technique and timing.

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/nitjj.jpg?token=1502197907_71b76e3ac7baf99f544bc7bb7748a64db8e33fba" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/nitjj.mp4?token=1500988329-xdsWiRtGDi66iFcS%2BAtfkU81p8Q%2FkJQjAVYICG29Ovo%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

Above, the instant Drummond reverse pivots to seal off Horford there is a clear lane for Stanley Johnson to fire a pass that surely would've resulted in an dunk or at the very least a Horford foul. Johnson must realize the opening, and like when a quarterback throws the ball to the receiver before he makes his break, that ball must find Dre's hands.

****

In real time, hey, this play is alright!

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/rlk7r.jpg?token=1502198567_1360f01df6f2ea53a9347d817314181086bf29a2" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/rlk7r.mp4?token=1500988967-wsCMCG%2BEWoxgVeg4g912YiRjStIqommMD79kNkAI%2BOk%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

Johnson ends up with a decent look and just misses the shot. Missing shots happens.

But.

When Philly traps Jackson after the pick-and-roll the ball is rightfully swung around the horn and finds Johnson by the near break. Richard Holmes comes all the way from the PNR trap to deny Andre Drummond an entry pass.

Dre can't let that happen.

As good of a job as Dre did with sealing off Horford in the prior example, Drummond's effort on establishing position on this play is piss poor. If he doesn't let Holmes deny that pass it's an easy catch and finish. The timing was there but the technique was horrendous.

Those are easy assists that will never see the light of day.

****

Spacing and timing are the most important concepts for an offense to grasp and it's on Johnson and the Pistons to right these easily fixable gaffes.

Take a look at what disciplined spacing produces:

<video controls="" poster="//cdn-e2.streamable.com/image/xn5w1.jpg?token=1502199029_269b7c5ef01d2f19fea2b0c0d343a137ead4ea5f" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.<source src="https://cf-e2.streamablevideo.com/video/mp4/xn5w1.mp4?token=1500989574-ceNe1K%2Fu9zt9CJG%2FVfMZSQ8meHBY7ZafydpyZTWa6qk%3D" type="video/mp4"></source></video>

Bullock in the slot, Johnson in the deep corner and damn I'm gonna miss Baynes.

Basketball is an easy game if you let it be.

Wow, this offseason has been crazy so far. Here's Part 1 of where we discuss what's been going on, looking first at the Western Conference.

Common wisdom from many after watching the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors blow through the competition to get to the NBA Finals was that the other 28 teams would or should bide their time for a few years until the Warriors slowed down or dissolved and LeBron the Paranoid Android finally broke down.

Well, that didn't happen. Teams made moves, lots of pretty daring ones at that. We discuss three of the top of those daring moves in this edition.

1. What are your thoughts on the Chris Paul/James Harden pairing? Would adding Carmelo Anthony make or break the deal in Houston? If everything falls right could they compete with Golden State?

Kenneth Wallace: Adding a player of Chris Paul's caliber can't hurt, though I think Patrick Beverly was a good player for the Rockets. I don't think PG was their biggest need, and I'm not confident that adding Carmelo Anthony is a great idea. There is a limit to how many guys a team need who want the ball in their hands. If I were the Rockets, I'd want a guy like Kevin Love more than Anthony. But I doubt they can trade Ryan Anderson to Cleveland for him. I think they will be more competitive with Golden State, but still not up to their level.

Kevin Sawyer:  There will probably be some diminishing returns in terms of individual output, a la Steph Curry and Kevin Durant last year. But the only way Paul doesn't make the team substantially better is if he is injured. Paul isn't some overhyped volume scorer. He was the best PG in the league last year and he does just about everything. Assuming Anderson gets moved, not sure what Anthony does. Best case scenario is that he improves his efficiency as a third option, and offers the same trade off of lousy rebounding. I think they are close enough to Golden State that this is unnecessary risk.

Justin Lambregtse:  I have my doubts about he effectiveness of the James Harden-Chris Paul pairing. Both players are at their best with the ball in their hands and there is only one ball. They will find a way to make it work because they are both great players, but I don't see them being any better so I don't see them competing with Golden State. I think adding Carmelo would just escalate the problem, especially if they trade Trevor Ariza to make it happen.

Ben Gulker:  My initial reaction was, "Theres still only one ball, right?" Then again, I had similar feelings about James, Wade, and Bosh. I'd rather err on the side of great players figuring it out than trying to make less than great players into something greater than the sun of the parts.

I have been a Melo skeptical his entire career and remain so regardless of where he ends up. Either way, Golden State remains way ahead.

Ryan Pravato:  I'm intrigued by the pairing and I'll surely try to catch more Rockets games than before. Carmelo Anthony could move the needle a bit, yet I'd rather see him on Cleveland. If Ariza is moved to help get Melo, perhaps newly signed Luc Mbah a Moute can lessen the sting on the defensive side of the ball. I suppose the Rockets could be competitive with the Warriors, but they might need to pick up Durant and Green to do so...

Jacob Kuyvenhoven: There might be some decline in the individual production with Harden and CP3 sharing the floor but I still love the move and think the pairing can and will work. They're probably the favorite for the 2 seed, so sure, I guess an upset of the Warriors isn't impossible. I don't think a Carmelo addition is a bad idea given their limited future assets and his success as a tertiary creator in the Olympics, but I wouldn't see him as some kind of ultimate weapon against Golden State.

Gabriel Frye-Behar: They're going to be good. Both can shoot well enough to create space for each other, and for how great an offensive player CP3 is, when healthy he's also one of the few truly great defensive PG's in the league. I don't think Carmleo helps them in the slightest. It does feel like Houston is still one piece short of competing with Golden State, but Carmelo's ball dominant game isn't that piece.

Steve Hinson:  My biggest takeaway is what a great job Houston does with player development. They've already traded away one starter from last year and three rotation players. And they're looking to dump salary on another starter. But with two guys passing with an assist percentage around 50 percent, Clint Capela could break out as a star next season. Isaiah Taylor looks fully capable of replacing Lou Williams from his brilliant D-League performance. And Chinanu Onuaku looks ready to replace Montrezl Harrell (get ready for ALL of the underhand free throws talk!). I don't think Carmelo Anthony would do anything at all to improve the squad, would be more likely to just gut the team from effective complimentary players. They could compete with Golden State, but it's going to take better shooting from those complimentary guys. They led the league in three point attempts but were only 15th in percentage. Eric Gordon, P.J. Tucker, and Trevor Ariza aren't going to be able to be in the mid-30 percents from deep.

2. What are the chances that Russell Westbrook and Paul George work? Do you see OKC winning enough to convince George to resign next off season?

Kenneth Wallace:  I think Russell Westbrook and Paul George can be an effective pairing, with the potential to get OKC to 50+ wins. Who knows what George is thinking, but if I were him I'd seriously consider remaining with the Thunder - assuming that he and Westbrook prove compatible.

Kevin Sawyer: I am more interested in how Roberson and George work together. It will be interesting to see if George sees time at the 2, and I don't think he brings a lot of value at the 4. How those two work together will have more impact on whether the Thunder move up a notch with this move.

Justin Lambregtse:  I think this pairing will work. Paul George will be a poor man's Kevin Durant in OKC, so they will be good, but not good enough to compete for a championship. I agree with Paul George when he said that his interest in LA is overblown. If OKC is competitive in the West, I see him re-signing unless Westbrook's personality drives him away.

Ben Gulker:  Well, Kevin Durant > Paul George, and the rest of the current cast is less than it was a few years ago, too. Certainly, they will be better than Indiana a year ago, but is winning what George cares about? I don't know.

Ryan Pravato:  I can see it going well or not so well, nothing would surprise me - and that will help determine the potential of a long-term pairing. What I'm happy about is the fact it frees up an All-Star spot for Tobias Harris, provided he has a strong first half.

Jacob Kuyvenhoven: I don't see why George and Westbrook won't work. OKC doesn't really have any other creators, I doubt they want Westbrook with the same astronomical usage he had last year, and George is a good off-ball player anyway. I definitely wouldn't have thought of OKC as a place George would consider pre-trade, but I'll assume if they can get close to the West finals they'll have as good of a chance as anyone to re-sign him.

Gabriel Frye-Behar: George and Westbrook should work well enough. Westbrook can get his usage down a little as George is a really good overall player and an efficient high volume scorer, but I'm not sure he's good enough to improve OKC's win total by as much as people might expect with the competition they'll be facing in the West.

Steve Hinson:  I love it. George isn't at his best when he's having to create the offense like he did in Indiana. Last year was already a career year for George and he'll be even better with the Thunder. I could absolutely see him staying in Oklahoma City. The closest he's ever been to playing with a player like Westbrook was prime Lance Stephenson - which was when he signed his extension with the Pacers. And Westbrook is a biiiiit of an upgrade over Stephenson.

3. Tom Thibodeau made major moves to speed things up in Minnesota by adding veterans Jimmy Butler, Jeff Teague, Taj Gibson and Jamal Crawford to a previously young team. Will this move pay dividends or would you have preferred to take more time with the youth movement?

Kenneth Wallace:  I think Tom Thibodeau made some shrewd moves this summer. It's arguable that he should have looked for more of a stretch four option than Taj Gibson, but he's a tough veteran competitor. Jimmy Butler is a huge upgrade, and Jeff Teague is a very capable point guard. I think they are a playoff team now and will probably be the most improved team this season. If Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins keep improving, this may be a team that can give the Warriors a run for their money in 2-3 years.

Kevin Sawyer: Aside from Butler, which was a no-brainer, not seeing much great here. Gibson was an overpay, and I'm not sure they got much of an upgrade at point guard while paying more for an older player in Teague. But Thibs the coach works will with Gibson and didn't have confidence in Rubio. I like Crawford's playoff experience for the price, I guess. At this stage the Timberwolves should go all-in and move Wiggins, who is (for now) an overhyped volume scorer.

Justin Lambregtse:  It will definitely pay dividends. I see the Wolves as a top four seed in the West and the veterans that they added will be very beneficial to the development of their young players. I could definitely see how it won't matter once because of the dominance of Golden State, but they will still have a solid young core that can develop from playoff experience while Golden State is dominating the West.

Ben Gulker:  I really like Jimmy Butler, and Gibson and Teague are solid. If you can get a guy like Butler, you do it and go from there. Plus, all these guys have playoff experience, which can help the younger players.

I don't think they're anything special as a whole just yet though. Certainly an improvement for Wolves fans, and from the perspective of team building, there are several nice pieces for the future.

Ryan Pravato: Good, veteran pickups... those talented young'uns in Minnesota need playoff experience and they'll get it now. Eventually youth movements need a bit of a push or some support.

Jacob Kuyvenhoven: The Butler trade was obviously awesome and Teague was a fine signing. After those two moves their biggest needs by far were perimeter defense and spot-up shooting, so seeing them go after Gibson and Crawford was a little disappointing. It's going to be two traditional bigs on the floor at absolutely all times, which isn't the direction I'd want for the team at all. But I do still expect them to jump into the thick of the 5-8 playoff race out West with room to grow from that in future years.

Gabriel Frye-Behar: Getting Jimmy Butler is a huge win. He's sneakily developed into a superstar level player. Teague is a solid addition, and brings more scoring punch than Rubio. Towns and Butler are going to be a deadly offense/defense combo. If Wiggins improves a bit this team could suddenly become very good.

Steve Hinson:  I think they severely lowered their upside as a team this offseason. I like each one of those players they added and they clearly swindled the Bulls, but what's the point? To go get an eight seed for the next few years? Before they were clearly a franchise with a plan, one that was working effectively and showed the potential to be a contender. Theirs was an extremely impressive young core. Now they're a hodgepodge of some solid youth (and one very good young player) and some decent veterans (and one very good veteran). They went from The Process on steroids to a version of the 2013 Nets. Though they didn't gut their future quite as bad as the Nets did, they're still probably not winning any more than the 44 games that squad did.

What do you all think?

1. What are your thoughts on the Chris Paul/James Harden pairing? Would adding Carmelo Anthony make or break the deal in Houston? If everything falls right could they compete with Golden State?

2. What are the chances that Russell Westbrook and Paul George work? Do you see OKC winning enough to convince George to resign next offseason?

3. Tom Thibodeau made major moves to speed things up in Minnesota by adding veterans Jimmy Butler, Jeff Teague, Taj Gibson and Jamal Crawford to a previously young team. Will this move pay dividends or would you have prefered to take more time with the youth movement?

Montero is Detroit's first two-way contract player

The Detroit Pistons officially announced the signing of Luis Montero to a two-way contract. The two-way contract allows Montero to play up to 45 days on the Pistons' roster without counting against the 15-player roster. He'd also get a pay bump for any games played in the NBA.

The new two-way contracts were a part of the most recent collective bargaining agreement as a way to entice high level players to stick in the United States instead of agreeing to other offers overseas.

Montero will spend the majority of his time in the G-League, but he can't be promoted to anyone's NBA roster other than the Pistons.

Here is the team's official release.

DETROIT PISTONS SIGN LUIS MONTERO TO A TWO-WAY CONTRACT

 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – The Detroit Pistons announced today that the team has signed guard/forward Luis Montero to a two-way contract. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

 Montero, 6-7, 190, played 49 games last season with the Sioux Falls Skyforce and the Reno Bighorns of the NBA G League. In 36 games with Sioux Falls (15 starts), Montero averaged 8.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes per game. He was traded to Reno on March 2, 2017 and averaged 8.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 13 games with the Bighorns. Montero played in four games with the with the Santa Cruz Warriors during the 2015-16 season and averaged 16.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 blocks in 28.3 minutes per game. He saw action in 12 NBA games with the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2015-16 season and averaged 1.2 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.1 assists.

A native of the Dominican Republic, Montero played one year at Westchester Community College (2013-14) where he averaged 15.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.

Per NBA rules, teams are permitted to have two Two-Way players on their roster at any given time, in addition to their 15-man regular season roster. Two-Way players for the Pistons will provide services primarily for the Grand Rapids Drive, the team's G League affiliate, but can spend up to 45 days with the Pistons, not including any time prior to the start of the Drive's training camp and at the conclusion of their season.

Family secrets Hillary Clinton: bill has said about it
When the democratic Convention in Philadelphia ended with a vote by States, and at 6:39 PM the delegation of South Dakota filed 15 votes for Hillary Clinton that allowed her to gain 2382 votes necessary for the nomination of the candidate in US presidents, the very "culprit" of this historic event was the Congress live from new York, "breaking the glass ceiling".
photo: AP
"Break the glass ceiling" in American political folklore means the first or the first to do something that had never been done. So Hillary Clinton on July 26, made history. Literally the entire Congress rose to his feet. And the youth began to jump.
The main ally of the Clinton Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont played in this historical drama, a symbolic role, joining a delegation of Vermont, and urging the democratic party to unite around Hillary.
But of course the Congress the most has been shaken by the speech of former U.S. President bill Clinton, who appeared on the podium after 10 PM. He said about 45 years of marriage with Hillary that their political enemies tried to pass off as a caricature. Hillary Clinton is one of the most unpopular nominees in modern America, and her husband had to work hard, creating an image of the indomitable political fighter, a gentle wife and mother.
As if recollecting himself, he spoke for 38 minutes, breaking the rules, Clinton said it was time to return to the agenda.
In his lengthy speech, the former President said Hillary never throws to the fates of people. "So she never gave up on me," he continued.
That meant former American leader, it's hard to say. Most likely threw it.
A few earlier young boys Sanders conducted a coordinated protest against Clinton and her nomination. They said it was their first Assembly and they don't feel any party loyalty to Clinton, the progressivity of which is questionable. "I don't support Hillary because her words are only words. And I totally don't trust her, or our agenda," he said, for example, Ingrid Olson, a delegate from the state of Iowa. The results of the voting in the States are as follows: Clinton — 2842 votes, Sanders — 1865 votes. 56 delegates abstained.
In the hall of Congress and on the streets were huge protests against the nomination of Clinton. They many times outnumbered the protests against the nomination in 2008 at Denver. But the contradictions between Sanders and Clinton at this time much deeper than that between Clinton and Obama.
But back to the speech of bill Clinton. His main task was "to humanize this iron lady". He spoke about his first meeting with Hillary in Galskom University in 1971; honestly counted already well known and professional achievements of his wife. He also tried to draw a portrait of his wife as a mother, this side of her life is little known. The story of how Hillary was carrying his daughter Chelsea in a student residence at Stanford University, was touching.
The Congress gaining momentum, but it was noticeable that Sanders almost no one mentioned. It was a special decision taken by the leadership of the headquarters of Hillary. The fact that she had been nominated and so she wanted all the speakers focused on its nature and on the need for a resolute struggle against trump.
Touching was the performance of nine African-American mothers whose children were the victims of violence with a firearm. Women chanted: "Black lives matter, too!", they had an election work in favor of Hillary Clinton. One of the mothers, Lucia, Macbeth, whose 17-year-old son Jordan Davis was killed after what someone did not like the loud music coming from his car, said of Hillary that she is not afraid to say "black lives matter, too".
The Congress is not spared and religious beliefs of Clinton. It was specifically played a video in which she asks for people to pray, and then she joins worshippers.
This video is in sharp contradiction with what was on the congressional Republicans. There is a problem of religion and religious views trump remained in the background.
Looking at all the melodramatic escapade, I thought about how easy it would be to ruin it, if Donald trump is the main rival of Clinton, decided to send to the Congress of the Democrats of their scouts, who in the most sentimental and pathetic moment of speech bill Clinton began shouting from the audience: "you'd better tell about your sex life, for example, Monica Lewinsky!" And even more — if he managed to incite this very Monica. Of course, not for nothing, but for a substantial fee.
And then the "change maker" — a Creator of change — he would be himself.
God knows whether trump is not smart enough to guess it, whether he did not the devil of Dante's Inferno.Related posts:

Description: The premier historical Jesus scholar joins a brilliant archaeologist to illuminate the life and teaching of Jesus against the background of his world. There have been phenomenal advances in the historical understanding of Jesus and his world and times, but also huge, lesser known advances in first-century Palestine archaeology that explain a great deal about Jesus, his followers, and his teachings. This is the first book that combines the two and it does it in a fresh, accessible way that will interest both biblical scholars and students and also the thousands of lay readers of Biblical Archaeology Review (150,000+ circulation), National Geographic, and other archaeology and ancient history books and magazines. Each chapter of the book focuses on a major modern archaeological or textual discovery and shows how that discovery opens a window onto a major feature of Jesus's life and teachings.

Jobs get marked as running in the database before they are actually executed so another instance won't pick up an already running job. The code in the JobManager isn't really that complex and if you're running multiple instances it might be a good idea to get familiar with how it works.

AL ANEED (Race 1, No.4):
I couldn't be more happy with him. His three runs in this time have been very good and his trackwork this week has also been very impressive. He's moving up to the 1600 metres here, which I don't think he'll have any problems with, and as I say, he's going very well.
LANKAN RUPEE (Race 4, No.5):
He's come a long way in a short time but has answered every challenge. I had a chat with (jockey) Craig Newitt about what to do with having his first start up the straight track, which can be very tough on horses like him who like to lead. So we've decided to put winkers on him to, hopefully, settle him and let him roll along in front.
It's a very important event; it's group 1, so we'd be fairly excited to get him into the finish, but if not, he'll go to the paddock for a well-earned break.
INSTINCTION (Race 9, No.6):
Did a good job at Caulfield the other day - off to a good strong early pace - and we're hoping again to get that sort of tempo. He seems to enjoy the 1400 metres. He's drawn well and his trackwork since his last-start win has been very good.

Mentioned it in a different thread but thought I'd start a thread on my new bus
Late spring a couple buddies jumped in a truck and drove through the night up into the interior of BC to rescue this beauty.....
Was piled high inside with parts that we riffled through, chainsawed out the shagcarpeted plywood and 4x4 hippy love bed out of and piled what parts we wanted back in. Bolted some drums and front wheels on, a set of casters to the frame horns and winched it onto the trailer. The old boy said to rummage around the rest of the 10 acres and ended up loading a pan from a 54 standard and a rear ribbed fender that looked like it got run over by a dump truck too. Hit the road and the beer store for the bonsai run home. Left Friday night 7 pm ferry and just made it back for the last ferry home Sat at 9 pm.... Covered somethin like 2300 km in that short time and I was awake for 42 hours killer boys trip, we had a blast!
Did some trading and ended up being the lucky new owner of this ol girl! Plans are for a ratty lowered simple super patina'd ride....no full blown resto on this bitch but I have to finish my 55 before I start on it....see if I can last on that promise? For now I'm just collecting missing parts (quite a few!) so far I've scored a correct gas tank, reserve tap, some gerson doglegs and long side rocker, door handles, head lights, horn button, radio block off, full length middle seat, and just last weekend both front doors, deck lid, apron, barndoor bubble tail lights, rear pressed bumper and a few other adds and ends....all I need now are front and rear seats, some glass, a nose emblem and motor and trans!!!
Couple more pics....thing it pretty dry for a BC bus, nose is almost rust free, just pushed in and some psycho put an axe through it. Hope I can get it pushed back out to be somewhat respectable without fucking the OG paint?
Easy offing the red paint off drivers door, came out nice!
Remnants of old logos...some kind of TV repair shop down the side and on rear hatch....not sure what I'm gonna do with them yet?
Anyway...I'm super stoked to have an early pressed bumper kombi army next project, gonna be so bad ass. after driving that 57 single with the safaris open I was hooked!!
My 56 kombi.....fuckin'EH!!!!

Super lucky! I'm more excited about this than I am my oval if you can believe that how times a change......7 years ago it was all about an 11 second NA streetcar......now with 2 kidlets I want a slow ass bus to cruise the fam around
I plan to try the ol JJ football trick....I don't know if that will be enough tho? Is it possible to remove the inner nose brace from inside without fucking with outer skin?

Would be nice to do a restoration back to the original patina along with the logos
Slammed, 2L and NO FUCHS:) ERCO's maybe
Ya gonna have to ponder the logos....we played wheel of fortune waiting in the ferry lineup on way home 3/4 way corked and figured out what it use to say....can't remember the exact wording but is was something about tv repair I thought it would be super sweet to incorporate my business into it so how and change to something along the lines of HVAC repair
No early alloys for me.....sorry not my style, I'm sure they would look the tits but just too common for my liking!
Ercos did cross my mind only not star cut....just the solid ones, hmmmm
michaelth wrote:Nice project ...
Is the driver's door from a "barndoor" I think the pit at the door handle looks so small ..! ?? what do I know .. this bus is certainly super delicious !! with a little love from you ..
You are correct...The drivers door is a Barndoor drives side door and the taillight is also for a Barndoor...Both of those parts would have ended in March 1955. When your looking for Barndoor parts like I have been for my Kombi...you end up learning lots about Barndoors
Can't wait to see this build....

No bus was pretty much just a shell with rear hatch and cargo doors. All the rest of the parts I've picked up recently.....mostly in trades, actually bus itself was a labour trade for a shit pile of work on the oval I drove to the great Canadian. Come to think of it all I have invested so far is $500 in real cash....all rest have been trades!

Generously packaged with an array of features full of background, technical information, and production detail, Disney's Fantasia 2000 DVD will please animation enthusiasts and children alike. Originally released in the IMAX format, the picture retains the striking colors and crisp graphics with a pristine 1.85:1 widescreen transfer. The lovely classical score shines in any of the variety of sound choices: DTS 5.1 Surround Sound, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, THX-Certified including THX Optimode. The behind-the-scenes information begins with "The Making of Fantasia 2000," a 48-minute documentary with the entire production team discussing the inspiration, conception, and the long road to completion. In the first "Audio Commentary," executive producer Roy E. Disney (Walt's nephew), conductor James Levine, and producer Don Ernst discuss how they strove to retain the magic of the original Fantasia, while also staying true to Walt's original idea of showing the most advanced animation. The second commentary allows the individual segment directors and art directors to specifically address their work, where CGI, watercolor, or hand-drawn animation was used. Animation fans will also relish the inclusion of two animated shorts, Melody and Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom (an Academy Award winner in 1953). Though the extra features are directed more to adults than children, the package is a fine example of how far "cartoons" have come.

BEIJING -- In one of the most hyped, superlative-laden China deals in recent memory, shares of Industrial & Commercial Bank of China climbed 15% in their first day of trading in Hong Kong Friday. The bank raised about $19.1 billion in the offering, the largest IPO in history. In a simultaneous Shanghai listing on Friday, ICBC shares also gained. The warm reception was the latest in a string of such Chinese listings. In the U.S., shares of budget hotel operator Home Inns & Hotels ( HMIN) closed up 63% in their first day of trading Thursday. Recent debuts from Mindray Medical ( MR) and New Oriental Education & Technology Group ( EDU) have also been well-received. But even as China bets go, ICBC has won an extra degree of attention as the biggest bank in the world's most populous country. At year-end 2005, ICBC held $726 billion in deposits, equivalent to 19% of all China's bank deposits. It has more than 2.5 million corporate customers, and personal customers exceed 150 million. Edmund Harriss, manager of the Guinness Atkinson China and Hong Kong ( ICHKX) fund, says he bought shares because he expected to see a mild pop on the IPO. However, he remains "somewhat cautious" on the financial sector and isn't sure if he'll buy more. "This is very much a proxy on the banking sector
in China ," Harriss says. "I'm OK about having some in my portfolio, but I would be unlikely to chase it." Harriss also believes Chinese banks aren't cheap. "The valuations we are seeing are based on a growth profile that is undoubtedly there, but takes no account of any slips or speed bumps along the way," Harriss says. "If we find that nonperforming loans pick up, one needs to be aware that these banks are expensive relative to their peers in the region." He isn't the only skeptical investor.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
People have unwanted hair that they want removed, but most methods will require you to constantly apply them because hair will eventually grow in the same places, and it would be best if they can find a more permanent solution, and that is why laser hair removal has become popular because it promises a permanent solution to this problem.
Laser hair removal has many benefits but before we go into that, let us take a look at how it works. lasers emit a pulse which travels through the skin, heats up the hair's shaft and root, and destroys it. With the damage of the hair follicle which is responsible for the growth of hair, no hair will regrow in its place. Modern laser equipment are able to target many hairs at one time, so they can destroy many hair follicles as once. This means that it can be a very quick method for removing unwanted hair for large body areas.
The only down side that people can see in this type of hair removal method is its cost. The reason for this is because hair grows in three phases and that is why several sessions are needed before they are entirely eliminated, and because of this the expense gets higher. If you just think that this job will have permanent results, then it might comes out even cheaper than other methods.
5 Uses For Wellness
Today, however, there has seen a decrease in the price of laser hair removal due to several reasons like the stiff competition, better innovation in technology, and the growing number of customers wanting this type of treatment. It has been shown statistically that people wanting laser hair removal treatment has increased to a few million and is still increasing.
A Simple Plan: Beauty
The use of laser hair removal has been approved by most relevant authorities on any part of the body but not on parts near the eyes. Your legs, armpits, face, and other parts can be treated with laser removal method.
Laser treatment done correctly will have very minimal side effects. Skin redness on the treated area, some tingling or pinching sensations are some of the side effects that you can have. It will only take a short time for this side effects to disappear.
There are those who claim to have experienced pain during the treatment and have suffered post treatment irritation. To eliminate the problem of burning, overheating and scaring which customers complain about, the latest laser models can now automatically spray coolants or cold air onto the skin before each laser pulse. To solve the irritation problem, topical creams are provided.
A hairless body is fast becoming a fashion statement, and because of this and the ease by which lasers can help anyone achieve their goal of permanent hair removal, it is not a surprise that laser hair removal centers are growing all over the world.

After testing the Facebook like feature I notice a minor detail that is quite annoying. When someone likes the campaign, and the campaign has a dynamic personalisation of the subject line...a poor "fallback" text is displayed on Facebook.
So if I like our campaign the like text on Facebook would read: "John Doe likes Hello [fullname,fallback=customer], here's our news for today on createsend.com"
This should be improved.
Thanks for letting us know. We have fixed this problem in the upcoming release, and will notify you in this thread when the fix goes live. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
This fix has been published now.

I originally created this discussion, (which im sure has been created before) in the forums section and on my personal blog. I decided to make it a blog post here instead because I believe it will do better than there.
My question for the wikians is this: Who do you believe is the strongest and most powerful Non-Bender in the AtLA series? Who would beat all else in a combat situation? For the sake of this post I am exluding LoK because the equalists are quite powerful, as they have had the advantage of developed techniques and superior technology. I know this limits the selection and i aplogize for that. I just feared that the argument, "well asami could just electrified glove 'em", will trumph the selections.
While formulating your answer i encourage you to consider styles and match-ups. Please consider how your choice would fair in a hypothetical battle against another non-bender of great skill. Try to remember all the hand-to-hand and weapons experts throughtout the series. Feel free to just throw a name out there and hopefully the debates will begin naturally.
As flashy and fantastic as benders are, those without that gift deserve some attention as well!
I appreciate any comments, as this is my first blog post on the site!
heres some ideas

Ne-Yo ft. Jeezy - Money Can't Buy
By richard | 3 years ago
Buy Song
Artist: Ne-Yo
Track: Money Can't Buy
Feat. Jeezy
Producer: DJ Montay
Album: Non Fiction
Ne-Yo is more than willing to shower his woman with Luxurious gifts, but the R&B hitmaker isn't under the illusion that a fat bankroll will bring him true love; he knows that there are some things Money Can't Buy. On the lead single off his sixth studio album, the consummate gentleman pays tribute to a girl who's committed to riding with him, no matter if it's in "a Rolls Royce or a Civic." Jeezy jumps on DJ Montay's string-led beat to deliver a verse dedicated to his own down chick. Non-Fiction currently lacks a drop date, but we'll keep you supplied with singles and release details as they emerge.

Iraqi legislators have finally agreed on a formula to include the bitterly contested city of Kirkuk in a national election in January, ending months of political wrangling and fears that the planned US troop pullout might be delayed.
However, the agreement struck in parliament tonight deals only with how to apportion votes in the semi-autonomous northern enclave, and did not tackle a decision on Kirkuk's fate.
The electoral deal sets a framework for the poll to be held, probably on 21 January instead of the original date of 16 January. It will be Iraq's second general election since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Kirkuk, an oil centre, was at the heart of a delay in the law being passed because of the tricky question of how to organise votes in the city, which is claimed as an ancestral homeland by Kurds, Arabs and Turkomans, but which has seen big demographic swings since the last reliable population breakdown was compiled more than half a century ago.
A total of 141 of the 275 Iraqi lawmakers voted in favour of the electoral law. The election in Kirkuk will be conducted according to this year's voter registrations, a status quo that appears to favour the Kurds, who have moved back to the city en masse since Saddam was ousted in 2003. The Arab bloc had been arguing in favour of using the 2004 voter registry, taken when the bulk of the Kurds exiled from Kirkuk during Saddam's regime had yet to return. The Turkomans, meanwhile, had been agitating for the 1957 registry to be the electoral blueprint, because it was more favourable to them.
The United States was quick to embrace the deal tonight. US officials in Baghdad had become increasingly concerned about the delays in passing the law, because of its likely knock-on effect to the American withdrawal, which is due to begin in earnest around 60 days after the election.
The UN had previously called for Kirkuk to be given a "special status" under international law. Iraqi leaders had also offered compromises in an attempt to ward off a deadlock over the city. Bids Shi'ite Arab Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, were rejected in the lead up to yesterday's vote.
The US ambassador, Christopher Hill, and the American commanding general in Iraq, Ray Odierno, released a joint statement in support of Iraqi lawmakers. "This decision will allow for the holding of parliamentary elections in January as mandated under the Iraqi constitution, the statement said. "With the passage of this law, the Iraqi people, through their representatives, have shown their desire to uphold democratic and consultative government. We encourage all Iraqis to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming elections."

Jeffrey Jackson and Dave Slagle are about as far from 'center' in the world of audio as you can get. At the same time, if you're around this world for very long you hear of them. For Jackson's part, it may come when you are thinking of a horn system. (the Holy Grail of the indoctrinated) When you're mating compression drivers to horns, the fellow designing your electronics better be a mad scientist; we're talking flux capacitor time travel bright, because if there is even the mildest subtlest edge to the circuit, through 106-116 db sensitive horn speakers, it will sound like a cow patty has been placed in the mouth of the singer…at least compared to the sound from a perfectly executed 50 amp.
Dave is a natural counterpart to Jeffrey. Quality in iron is everything in a great tube design and Slagle lives for iron. Do you need an oversized output transformer for your DIY 211 amp? There's only one guy to call. He's also made great volume controls for the DIY community and OEM market. Do you want a field coil speaker-do you know what a field coil speaker is? Well, if you don't, I could bore you with the scientific explanation, but for this space, let's put it thusly; the magnet in the speaker is powered. It sounds better than about anything, and is no longer made because it's damned pricey. Dave makes these too, because to make good iron you have to really know your magnetics; cobalt, nickel, permalloy, scrapings from from the hooves of goats from the top of the Himalayas, particularly Hector. The Emia Volume Control was recently called the finest passive preamp ever auditioned by Arthur Salvatore…and Arthur doesn't hand out praise lightly.
For me, these guys are legend. Every 4 years or so Jeffrey will surface at an audio show, wipe the floor with everyone, and then disappear back into his laboratory. Everything they make is done by hand. To say that their work is in demand would be an understatement. In the past, there were likely three caveats:
When I heard that Jeffrey and Dave were putting out a line of products for the regular Joes and Jennys there was no question that I wanted to be a part of it. Their stuff has an industrial feel with a price/performance ratio that is imposing. I love the look, because I love industrial toys that harken back to theaters and Western Electric gear. To date, their products include a phono stage and two volume controls (one remote and one manual). In the works are an MC step up, a permalloy 50 SET, a Strain Gauge Phono, and a field coil MC cartridge.
So without further adieu, welcome to the world of Emia. You're going to have oodles of fun here.

Using a ludicrous sounding combination, of Google trends data on Facebook searches combined with a disease spreading theorem, Princeton University's Academics have made the prediction that will bring on the demise of the #1 social media giant — Facebook.
Standing tall with a net worth of $139 billion and over one billion users worldwide, the calculation of Facebook's severe decline in three years time seems rather unlikely, though one never knows what the future will bring.
Princeton University:
"Facebook has already reached the peak of its popularity and has entered a decline phase. The future suggests that Facebook will undergo a rapid decline in the coming years, losing 80 percent of its peak user base between 2015 and 2017.

Malik Henry has had a nice spring/summer and made a big jump physically as a quarterback. He has grown to almost 6-3 and is probably about 175 pounds. His arm is strong and he can throw with touch, zip and is accurate on his short, intermediate and deep balls.
He led Westlake to the quarterfinals of the Edison tournament and has a very big upside to him. The next big jump Henry needs to make is as a leader. He's young and showed some signs of frustration at different times in the tournament. It's always tough for a lot of young quarterbacks to learn how to turn the page after a play and encourage a teammate but it's essential to being a leader at the next level.
On the recruiting front, Henry visited Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State a month ago and will head South and the Southwest to visit three more schools.
"I liked all the MW schools, I can't say I liked one over the other because I don't want it to look like I have a leader or anything," Henry said over the weekend. "I probably spent the most time at Notre Dame, meeting some of the players on the team and a few committed recruit too so that was great but all the visits were a lot of fun.
"We have a two week dead period coming up so I'm going to visit Texas A&M, Florida State and Tennessee. Those will be camps and visits so I'm looking forward to it. I'll also visit UCLA and USC unofficially and will attend some fall practices for sure. They're both recruiting me hard right now and I like both schools a lot."
As for any timelines for cutting his list, Henry said he's in no hurry.
"I don't have any leaders or even a top five or seven right now," Henry said. "It's early for me, I just want to go through the process and take things slow. I'm going to play out my junior season and then after we're done, I'll focus on recruiting and get my list together."

Klopp comments on the AFCON rescheduling
Embed from Getty Images Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp, spoke to the media...
Hossam Al Badry, head coach of Egypt's U-23 national team, said that the coaching staff and the players have made the utmost effort in order to qualify for the Olympics, and were eliminated despite a good performance.
Egypt were eliminated from U-23 African Cup of Nations after losing 0-1 against Mali and have thus failed to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Hossam El-Badry stated on TV channel Sada El-Balad, "we wasted our chance to qualify to the Olympics, but this is football. We made some mistakes that led to our failure, but overall, everybody worked hard."
He added, "The players were in full concentration, but the pressure they suffered from affected their performance in a negative way, and now the team's job has ended, and I will file a report to the Egyptian Federation."
He continued, "There was complete support from the Football Federation and I will not change what I said at the beginning of the tournament, everybody worked hard to achieve the goals."
And when asked who has the responsibility of the failure, Badry replied, "Everyone; everyone is responsible and I am with them."

Prayer is so much more than simply asking God for things we want. Prayer is about being in His presence. It is our desire that God's people experience His joy and peace by becoming a praying people — a people that seeks God with all our hearts, souls and minds at all times!
