The waters in Brisbane have mostly receded, but there are still many places that are inaccessible. I went to help friends of mine yesterday in one of the flood-affected areas. They were the lucky ones, living in a high-set house. They had three feet of water under the house and over their entire block. Despite the relatively mild flooding they experienced, the devastation is incredible. Everything is caked with mud, up to a foot deep in places. The smell is overwhelming: not only mud and rotting plant material, but sewage that got pushed out of drains and toilets during the flood. I saw many houses that were far worse off in the same area, some of them inundated to the roof line. People living in these houses have lost absolutely everything.
Traffic is chaotic with many roads closed. Those roads that are passable are covered in mud up to a foot deep. Driving along a flooded road, there are endless piles of destroyed household goods, furniture, clothes, books, and appliances lined up along the curb. Around 30,000 homes are still without power. Many of those won't get power back for quite some time: houses that have been inundated need to be individually inspected for electrical safety before they can be reconnected.
The death toll stands at 16, with about 60 people still missing. Many of the missing will be dead, and their bodies are unlikely to ever be found. Yesterday, one victim was found 45 miles away from the point where she was washed away.
Now the floods have moved south, with serious flooding in New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania. We are really copping it this time
The good news in all this is that I checked our teaching venue, and it came through it all remarkably well. A bunch of people got in there and starting cleaning as soon as the water receded. The wooden floor has survived remarkably well. It's warped and buckled in a few places and much of it will have to be replaced. But, after all the cleaning, the smell is tolerable. The venue is actually serviceable and we will start teaching there as planned on 29 January.

Any of you out there with a hot, sexy gay or bi father (biological or step) with whom you've had sex or given a blowjob? Unfortunately, my own father was fat, homely and completely straight (but not homophobic), and he's deceased (died 7 years ago at the ripe old age of 79) so i never had sex with him, but the thought of father-son incest (especially if the father is hot mature, but still really sexy) really gets my cock hard!!!
Any of you out there have any real-life experiences like that? Or maybe with your gay best friend (or boyfriend) and HIS hot gay or bi dad?

Value for Money
Consider this: A good lawyer can cost $1,000 (or more) per month in retainer fees. A leading SEO will add much more value to your business than the average lawyer will. Having an SEO Book subscription is like having many leading SEO experts on retainer for only $300 a month.
When you add in your $50 off discount, coupons for $50 off Business.com listings, 35% off a BOTW listing, 15% off domain names from BuyDomains, and discounts on traffic from leading search engines, an SEO Book membership more than pays for itself the day you join.
Because of the site's great value, many of our members have been with us since day 1.
I've been a paying member since day one. It's been the best $2000 I've ever spent on SEO, SEM, Social Media and general business information.
Community members have very meaningful online success in difficult niches. These personalties combine to produce quite frankly a vital resource for all serious online businesses. - Liam Delahunty

Thanks for the very helpful response. It gives me much more confidence about signing up for a web-based class. Your response differentiates your school from your competition in a favorable way, because your answers appeared to be customized for me, not just cut and pasted from a marketing document.
Just for your information, the other online appraisal schools I have been considering could not be bothered to personally respond to my email, so they failed that test from me. (If they can't answer an email, how do I know they will be responsive to me as a student?) One wasn't even sure if their graduates were eligible for licensing in my state! They suggested I call the state to find out! Can you imagine? But this is your competition, fyi..

About the Model 601SP
Since 1894 the King name has been synonymous with world-class high quality brass instruments. World renown artists, the likes of Tommy Dorsey, Ziggy Elman, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Charlie "The Bird" Parker, and Harry James, all trusted King as their choice of musical instrument. Built in Eastlake, Ohio, today's King 601 student trumpet draws from that heritage and is built on the same platform as the King professional trumpet made famous by the great Harry James in the 1940's and '50's. With a pedigree like no other, the King 601 trumpet offers professional level playing characteristics a student premium.
Tech Specs
Brand History
Henderson White, founder of the HN White Company, started his business as a proprietor of a small repair shop in Cleveland, Ohio. With the help of Mr. Thomas King, a local trombone player, White developed his first trombone in 1894. This was viewed in the market as a "revelation" to the music world due to its radically different bell, bore, and mouthpipe designs. Players loved the "King" trombone because the slide was smoother and lighter than any other.
These instruments gained immediate success with professionals including Al Pinard, the trombone soloist with Arthur Pryor's Band. In 1909, the HN White Company developed a "Department of Acoustical Research" with the goal of developing higher quality instruments. As production grew, King became known for brass and woodwind instruments. From 1917-1918, the HN White Company was the sole provider of saxophones for the US military during World War I. In the 1920's, King would even become the first US manufacturer of French horns.
When Henderson died in 1940, control was taken over by Edna White, the first women executive officer in the male dominated music industry. Under her leadership the company flourished. As most company's production of brass products halted during World War II, Edna was able to secure two major government contracts making radar units and proximity fuses that kept the factories running.
Coming out of the war, King instruments saw great popularity in the 40's and 50's with names like Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Ziggy Elman, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, and Charlie "The Bird" Parker. In 1951, the King 3B trombone was introduced and today is still the world's top selling jazz trombone.
In 1964, production of King Instruments was moved to Eastlake, Ohio outside of Cleveland where they are still made to this day.

Reports of Facebook's imminent death have been exaggeratedFebruary 4, 2014 9:53 PM
Reports of Facebook's imminent death have been greatly exaggerated.
In fact, the site could remain the model of social media sustainability -- until something comes along to steal its spotlight, said Bruno Ribeiro, Carnegie Mellon University post-doctoral researcher.
"What is very interesting about this model is it's not saying you're competing against a certain type of product -- you're competing for attention," said Mr. Ribeiro. "If some other website that has nothing to do with Facebook comes and steals users' attention, then that's the one [that takes its place]. It doesn't have to be the same product, it's just attention."
With Tuesday's 10-year anniversary of the social network coming only weeks after a Princeton study predicted Facebook could lose 80 percent of its members in the next three years, Mr. Ribeiro's model offers a breath of fresh air for a company smothered by recent predictions of doom.
Despite a decade of success that has seen the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company grow from a network of college students to a $153.9 billion public holding with a following of 1.23 billion monthly active users as of last December, a handful of analysts are predicting the salad days are over.
The company has lost more than 11 million users since 2011, according to an estimate by Washington, D.C.-based digital consulting company iStrategy. The Princeton study, conducted by researchers John Cannarella and Joshua Spechler, noted that a drop in Google searches for Facebook correlates with a similar drop for searches that preceded a massive decline of members for the social networking site MySpace years ago.
Rejecting the data in the Princeton study as unreliable, Mr. Ribeiro's study, "Modeling and Predicting the Growth and Death of Membership-based Websites," argues the death of any membership site comes once members move toward something equally or more engaging.
"Their study is based on saying that Facebook will die the same way that MySpace did and that MySpace died of natural causes -- [that] even if Facebook didn't exist, MySpace would have died. My recent studies argue that MySpace would have been sustainable if there was no Facebook," said Mr. Ribeiro.
The CMU study was inspired by a 1969 lecture by Nobel Prize winning economist Herbert A. Simon that predicted an "attention market" driven by an excess of new computer-driven data would transform the ways people decide how and when to consume media.
In other words, if computers weren't designed in ways that helped people process information faster than they helped people create new content, an entirely new "marketplace of attention" would emerge.
Mr. Ribeiro believes that moment has arrived and that the most successful websites have adopted strategies designed to help their companies consume the lion's share of the nation's eyes and ears.
Using six years worth of data surrounding the daily number of active users from 22 websites, the study determined the most "sustainable" sites were able to grow users through word of mouth; used media marketing through news sites or advertising; and, most importantly, ensured current users were always signing on to check on each other's activities.
In order to stay alive, Mr. Ribeiro predicts, sites will adapt formats to grab the attention of a user's friends, will use smartphone-chiming notifications more often and will encourage every consumer to act like a tween.
"Regarding teenagers -- because it's important to grab a larger and larger share of their attention -- it's beneficial for websites to encourage behavior that teenagers [want to check websites] in class, would not leave their smartphone anywhere and would be addicted to it," he said.
"It's a very good behavior to drive activity on your website and whoever does that best I think would be the one that would be sustainable."
With Facebook maintaining billions of users despite a shift toward Twitter among younger users, Mr. Ribeiro said the company isn't feeling the impact of user decline for now. However, any ground lost when it comes to attention-seeking strategies could easily turn Facebook into the next MySpace if the right competitive product emerges.
"Facebook popularity seems to be stable, but whether or not that will remain is to be seen," he said.

Last week, the Buffalo Bills traded a 6th-round draft pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for Mike Williams. Normally, this would be a fairly uninteresting story, typical of the lull that occurs between the first rush of free agency and the draft, if not for one thing: the Bills now have seven players with the last name of Williams. Seriously, seven! Now, granted, Williams IS a fairly common name, but seven guys out of a 53-man roster is still a surprisingly large amount.
And it got me thinking; there have been thousands of players who have played in the NFL, and hundreds of them have been named Williams, so could we come up with an All-Williams roster? And would that team be any good? Well, after searching the archives, and evaluating each position, I believe I've found enough quality players to field a very competitive team consisting entirely of players with the surname of Williams. So, that in spirit, I present to you The All-Williams All-Stars!
Quarterbacks: This might surprise you, but only two Williamses have ever played quarterback in the NFL, so we're a bit thin here. Luckily, one of them won a Super Bowl, which is why Doug Williams easily earns the position of starting QB. Unfortunately, the only guy around to back him up is Bob Williams, who played three seasons for the Chicago Bears in the 1950s, and posted a career QB rating of just 55.8. So, we get a pretty good starting QB, but we really need him to stay healthy.
Running backs: Thankfully, the running back position gives us a plethora of Williamses to choose from. The past 15 years alone have given us three viable options, in the form of DeAngelo Williams, Ricky Williams, and Cadillac Williams. To offset our relatively weak passing game, we go with a three-headed beast at the running back position. DeAngelo gets the most carries, but Ricky and Cadillac play prominent roles as well.
Wide receivers: This was a disappointingly thin position – not Williams played more than ten years at wide receiver. So, we're going to have to make the best of what we have. Kevin Williams had a decent career from 1993-2000, playing for the Cowboys, Cardinals, Bills, and 49ers. His stats were never particularly flashy, but he was reliably good for 35-40 catches a year, and he was one of the better kick returners in the league. Reggie Williams only lasted five years with the Jaguars, but he did catch 10 touchdowns in 2007, during The Brief Period Of Time When David Garrard Was Really Good. Beyond that, we might have to add the Bills' Mike Williams, who inspired this team to begin with. Injuries limited him to 22 catches last season, but he had 60 in each of the three years before that, and might be the most reliable pass-catcher here. We round things out with former Philadelphia Eagle Calvin Williams, who managed to thrive from 1993-1995, despite catching passes from the likes of Bubby Brister and Rodney Peete, and current Tennessee Titan Damian Williams, who caught 45 passes in 2011, and can't be completely written off yet. This isn't a mind-blowing receiving core, but we should be able to at least compete.
Tight End: Not a lot of true blue-chippers, but enough okay-ish guys to be at least decent at the tight end position. Our starter is former Ram and Raider Roland Williams, who didn't catch a great deal of passes, but was a solid pass-blocker, and managed to start on two teams that reached the Super Bowl, and one champion (the 1999 Rams and the 2002 Raiders). Backing him up is former Saint Boo Williams who had four pretty decent seasons in the midst of the Aaron Brooks era, and former Oiler Jamie Williams, who somehow managed to last in the league for 12 years despite not doing all that much. As with the receivers, not our strongest position, but not a complete joke either.
Offensive Lineman: Without even having to think about it, we can comfortably name Trent Williams as the lynchpin of our O-line. One of the best tackles in the league already, and he's just 25. The other starting tackle gig should obviously go to former Cowboys all-pro Erik Williams, who won three Super Bowls, and created countless holes for Emmitt Smith. One of our starting guard spots should go to Bobbie Williams, who hung around the league for 12 years without getting much recognition outside of Cincinnati – although he did retire as a champion with the 2012 Ravens. Former Giant Brian Williams gets the nod as our starting center – Williams was another largely unheralded grunt who managed to hang around the league for the better part of a decade. Rounding out the starting line is former Browns guard Wally Williams. For our reserves, we're reluctantly giving a shot to former Bills bust Mike Wlliams(not the receiver), who struggled through four seasons in Buffalo, but faced a lot of pressure as a #4 overall pick who was expected the anchor the line. He could easily thrive as a reserve. Alongside him is former Oiler David Williams, who had a nine-year career with the Oilers and Jets, and current Ram Chris Williams, who had an encouraging 2013 season after washing out in Chicago. For our second-string center, we go with former Brown, Saint, and Patriot Larry Williams, and our final piece is Panthers reserve Garry Williams, who has spent five years in Carolina, and…umm…probably couldn't hurt.
Defensive Lineman Another member of the current Buffalo 7 we can add to the list is Mario Williams, who has put together a solid 8-year career at this point, even if Bills fans are still half-mortified by how much money he's getting. Right next to him is the reliably intimidating Jamal Williams, who was a two-time All-Pro with the Chargers, and at early 350 pounds, will be the most intimidating member of the All-Williams All-Stars by a fairly wide margin. We round our starters with two memorably frightening Vikings teammates, Pat Williams and Kevin Williams, who belong together more than any two players on this team. For the reserves, we look to Gerald Williams who started for the Steelers in the late 80s, just as the Chuck Noll er was rapping up. As in turns out, the seven Wiliamses appearing on the current Bills roster have a ton of talent, since Kyle Williams earns a position as a reserve here. Our last two spots go to Lee Williams, who made it two Pro Bowls with the Chargers in 1988 and 1989, and former Patriot Toby Williams, who hung around for six years, and got to be on that one Super Bowl team that got slaughtered by the bears. This might be the strongest part of team – we're going to have an incredibly frightening defensive line that will get even scarier when you see who our coach is.
Linebackers: Former Bengal and Bronco Alfred Williams saw time at linebacker and defensive end throughout his career. Since our d-line is stacked already, we'll be using in the former role, which he mostly played in Cincinnati. He'll be joined by another Bengal in Reggie Williams, who somehow never played in a Pro Bowl despite 14 solid seasons. Unfortunately, beyond that, this is one of our weaker spots. There just haven't been many Williamses who had sustained careers at linebacker. Eric Williams and Demorrio Williams were hardly spectacular players, but they earn spots just by virtue of hanging around longer than just about anybody else I could find. To round things out, we're taking a shot here with Steelers rookie Vince Williams who wound up starting 11 games in his first season despite being a 6th round pick. Who knows, maybe he'll keep surprising us. Wait, that's only five? Okay, we'll add Leon Williams, who played five years for the Browns, Cowboys, and Chiefs before retiring in 2012. He was never that good, but hopefully, we're stacked enough at other positions that our lack of depth at linebacker won't kill us.
Secondary: After all this time, we get our first Hall-Of-Famer! That's right, Aeneas Williams, the man who went to the playoffs with the Jake Plummer, Cardinals is easily our best defensive back, and quite possibly our best overall player. Unfortunately, no other player in the Williams pool is close to his level, but we have some decent options nonetheless. Former Cowboy Roy Williams gets an obvious nod here, even if his career didn't last quite as long as we might have hoped. Meanwhile, current Packer Tramon Williams has a Pro Bowl to his name, and is one of the better parts of the Packers shaky defense. We're taking a slight risk and add another current Bill, Aaron Williams, because he was great in his first year at safety, and most people have forgotten how bad he was as a cornerback. Amusingly, there are two former Willie Williamses who have played cornerback in the NFL, one for the Giants in the 70s, the other for the Steelers in the 90s. Both had solid careers, and just for the sheer fun of it, they both earn spots here. Rounding things out, we go with 1970s Charger Mike Williams, and 1970s Giant Perry Williams, neither one of whom I had heard of before I started writing this, and I suspect you hadn't heard of them either. The point is, we have a secondary we can live with.
Special Teams: Well, here's a disappointing fact: not one kicker with the surname of Williams has played in the NFL. We do have one punter, however, Rodney Williams, who lasted exactly one season in the NFL, 20o1, which he played with the Giants. Well, he'll have to handle both punting and kicking duties, making this by far our worst position. It's worth noting – and I have no idea how I remember this – but when my Mom worked at Eckerd Drugs in the early 2000s, Rodney Williams came in – his Giants were playing the Bills in a preseason game – and apparently, was really nice, and gave my mom an autograph which is probably around the house somewhere.
Coach: Sorry, but we're stuck with Gregg Williams. His stint with the Bills suggests he has no business being an NFL coach, but our hands our tied here. Let's hope he'll avoid the temptation of another bounty program with his rather ferocious cast of defenders.
Ultimate Conclusion: Yes, you can totally make a competitive team consisting of current and former NFL players named Williams. Assuming we had some magic device that would give us all of these players at their optimal level (and why wouldn't we), this would immediately become one of the best teams in the NFL. We have a weak linebacking core, and a very weak special teams, but we make up for it with a three-headed monster at running back, and the scariest defensive line in the league. Who wouldn't want to watch this team? Oh, if we're not quite at 53, it's because I want to sign Billy Dee Williams. To multiple contracts.

Via Claudia Augusta – the name of the only Roman road crossing the Alps has a wonderful ring to it. This well signposted, unforgettable trail takes you from the Danube to the Alps, covering more than 500km in Germany.
With Europe united, the historical Via Claudia Augusta has become a bridge that brings together different cultures, lifestyles and emotions. This ancient route, which passes through scenic and cultural landscapes, was once used by soldiers, wayfarers, merchants and pilgrims – with their different languages, customs and cultures – to cross the Alps. Numerous reminders and remains of this road, built nearly 2,000 years ago by the Romans, have been preserved in many places and are often reflected in today's road network. You pass hundreds of reminders of its colourful history – entire sections of Roman road, viaducts and milestones. Again and again you come across remains of the 2,000-year old road and reminders of what life was like on and alongside it. Excavation sites, exhibitions and architectural monuments roll back the centuries. History and all aspects of regional culture are preserved and promoted everywhere. Here, town meets country, farmers meet townsfolk and artists meet the aristocracy. Conquering the Via Claudia Augusta on foot and using your own strength, as many of the Romans did, is a physical challenge – as much today as it was 2,000 years ago. A specially memorable experience for groups of 8-10 people is a stagecoach tour across the Alps on this historically symbolic road – just as people did 200 years ago. This is available on certain dates from spring to autumn.

Information about group practices
What is a Group Practice?
According to The Medical Group Management Association, a group practice is any relationship between three or more physicians who share facilities, expenses, profits and other resources like support staff and equipment.
Group practices tend to fall into two categories: those that organize around a particular medical specialty and those that encompass several specialties like East Boston Neighborhood Health that specializes in internal medicine.
Why Group Practice?
As medicine became more complex in the twentieth century, the need for group practices made more sense. Physicians found it impossible to know everything about the emerging drugs and technologies on the medical landscape. In addition, the cost of providing a full range of diagnostic services, such as tests and X-rays, in one location became prohibitive to the individual practitioner. Hence, doctors from various disciplines began to team together in order to provide more comprehensive care to their community of patients.
Benefits of Group Practice
- Access to doctors from various disciplines for referrals and advice
- Better coverage on weekends and off-hours
- One-stop clinics for comprehensive care and testing

A delightful blend of U.S.A. family farm organic black turtle beans in a delicious sauce of 100% organic onions, garlic, and tropical spices. Eden selected, soaked overnight, and thoroughly cooked at Eden's certified organic and kosher cannery with purified water and zero chemical additives. Versatile and ready to eat. Great on their own, with whole grain, or for making dozens of easy meals. Rich in healthy fiber, and a good source of protein, potassium, iron, thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, folate B9, and magnesium. Low sodium. Packed in bisphenol-A free can linings since April 1999. pareve
* See Detailed Description for qualified FDA Health Claim
Eden Organic Caribbean Black Beans Phaseolus vulgaris are organically grown in nutrient rich vital soil on USA family farms committed to a clean environment and nutritious, appealing food. At Eden's certified organic, circle K kosher cannery the beans are washed, soaked overnight and cooked with purified water, organic dried onion, organic paprika, organic cayenne pepper, organic cumin, organic garlic powder, organic cinnamon, organic black pepper, and a bit of Eden sea salt.
Eden Organic Beans are packed in steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c-enamel that does not contain the endocrine disrupter chemical, bisphenol-A (BPA). Oleoresin is a natural mixture of an oil and a resin extracted from various plants, such as pine or balsam fir. These cans cost 14% more than the industry standard cans that do contain BPA. The can maker, Ball Corporation, tells us that Eden is the only U.S. food maker to date to use these BPA free cans and we have been since April 1999.
For the third time in 2004 Eden Organic Beans received the highest rating for flavor and nourishment in exhaustive comparison studies of canned beans by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in their Nutrition Action Healthletter. Eden Organic Refried Beans were named 'Best Buy' and number one for nutrition among 38 brands with salt added. In 2004 Eden beans were rated as favorites by Men's Health and Child Magazine. In the June 2006 article "125 Best Foods for Men," Men's Health again rated Eden Beans as the best beans for having great flavor, being heart healthy, promoting weight loss and offering "The highest fiber with the least amount of sodium" among all other brands.
According to the FDA, "Diets containing foods that are a good source of potassium and that are low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke," "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors," and "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Caribbean Black Beans are a good source of potassium, low sodium, low fat, saturated fat free, cholesterol free, an excellent source of dietary fiber, and a good source of high quality vegetable protein, thiamin (B1) and riboflavin (B2), iron, phosphorus, and magnesium.
Beans are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in cereals, lysine and threonine. Whole grains complement beans and together deliver complete protein. Enjoying a variety of Eden Beans in combination with whole grain is a solid step toward healthy living.
Studies show beans contain a wealth of antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Eden Organic Caribbean Black Beans' flavor is rich and mildly spicy with a subtle sweetness. Ready to eat, just heat and serve with cooked organic rice for a special Caribbean meal. You can use them to make soups, bean dips, and salsas too.

There has been a lot of talk about the "five game win streak" that the Pacers enjoyed a few weeks ago.
Too much of the discussion has been speculation. Not enough hard facts, too little stats to prove one's position on the issue.
Okay, you people have the right to your opinion. You like the line up of defensively oriented players, you like Roy Hibbert and Dahntay Jones, and you think if they got solid minutes in a line up with Rush and Granger at the four spot, they would do well. Fine.
But the stats show that this group would not be effective. It's clear that group would never go on a five game win streak.
Remember, Murphy and Foster are VETERANS and they bring all sorts of intangibles. Murphy is an incredible shooter ("Not just good, but a great shooter" says JOB). Combine that with his rebounds and he is our second best player for sure. That being the case, it is impossible for our team to go on a five game winning streak without Troy Murphy.
So, no, we haven't gotten the privilege of going on a five game streak, because Troy hasn't worked out his back issues yet. But if we ever have a streak like that, you can bet Murph will be part of it. He's simply one of our best players. And our highest paid. Get real. We could never go on a five game win streak without our highest paid player.
Foster is phenomenal on defense. Any five game streak would imply a strong defensive effort on our part, and that means Jeff Foster would be involved. Now, that supposed five game win streak some of you have been fantasizing about, the dates you give for that streak are when Jeff Foster was injured. So that's a joke. No win streak without Foster.
Anyway, my point is that Murph is probably our second best offensive player, and Foster maybe our best defensive player. (No, they can't play the same position at the same time, but stop changing the subject.) And so some of these amateur historians out there referring to a five game win streak need to get real.
We do NOT win five games in a row without our best defensive player and our second best offensive player. It can't be done.
Here's another thing. That line up you mentioned. Besides Granger, no one can score. Dahntay Jones, don't you know? He's a one dimensional defensive specialist. He can't score lots of points in a game, much less five games in a row. What I'm telling you is that he is a journeyman NBA player. He may have led Duke in scoring one year, but that's not the pros and Duke is kind of a marginal team and coach compared to the likes of, say, Kentucky and Rick Pitino.
Anyway, there was never a five game win streak. If there had been one, Dahntay Jones would have been the second leading scorer, and he can't score. The stats show that. And the Nuggets didn't want to resign him. It's obvious.
Also, regarding this five game win streak so many of you keep referring to (as if it actually happened!), that means Roy Hibbert was starting and getting a lot of minutes. Don't you know? Hibbert can't guard smaller centers. Actually, most centers are smaller than he is, and in fact he can't guard any of them. Nothing personal against Roy, it's just the stats. It's simply the facts. Roy can't guard the pick and roll, and, well, pretty much every game the other team runs the pick and roll all game, and so Roy can't really play in those games.
So, a five game winning streak would imply that Roy was on the court some of the time. Of course, the other team would have been running pick and rolls, and well, we would have gotten completely wasted. So, there never was a five game win streak, because Roy can't defend pretty much all other front court players in the league. It's obvious to those who are knowledgeable in facts and statistics.
Anyway, sure, we'd all like to see the Pacers go on a nice win streak. Who wouldn't? But it is time for all you dreamers to get back to cold, hard reality. Remember the hard facts. Stick with the stats, like good ol' coach O'brien.
There never was a five game win streak. It's statistically impossible.

The auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his lawyer.
The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the ATO finds that believable.'
I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'
Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'
The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.
Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's lawyer as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.
But Grandpa's own lawyer moans and puts his head in his hands.
'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.
'Not really,' says the lawyer. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'

He clearly did invest in this team. How you can say he didn't is just beyond me. He apparently just didn't do it in a manner you agree with, but that's not from a lack of investing as you're trying to say. How does 120+ million in contracts qualify as not investing? If we take the average salaries of their contracts we're looking at being in the 65 million dollar range this year cap wise right now, and that doesn't even count signing Barbosa. That's not too far from the luxury tax.
Also you're splitting the smallest hairs ever trying to skirt away from the 'cheap' implication.

Mabye "many" but not enough. A similar point is brought up every time this thread is bumped up with a new post. I don't believe it. Every time the "this is nothing people don't already know, can we sweep it under the rug?" point is brought up at least a few very well studied people come forward to say that they had no idea those issues existed until they read "The Broken Buddha" by the Venerable S Dhammika.
Having knowledge and knowing how to use it are two different things. My views are based upon reading this wretched thing he wrote and what he said. I have given examples above of a couple serious problems that are indicative of what he says, and I'll be happy to discuss them at length, if you wish..pilgrim wrote:tiltbillings wrote:Sweep what under the rug?

Dunnoo what your views are based on. I've read a few of his books and his blog and I think he is one of the more knowledgeable and informed western monks around.
manasikara wrote: But if you take a look at us 'Westerners', some sections of our culture are already either watering down, or even seriously distorting, the Dhamma and Discipline. Not all, but some. So, as to the question, "what will Western Buddhism become?", one wouid hope, "maintaining, and representative of, the Dhamma and Discipline". If we don't do that, then in less than a hundred years, we could unravel what the Asians managed to preserve for over 2000 years!
Sambojjhanga wrote:I read the book awhile back myself. I'm actually surprised that anyone is actually surprised by any of this.
Sambojjhanga wrote:Oh, and one final thing. Ven. Dhammika is wrong about: the lack of anomalous phenomena in spiritual practices. Just because HE hasn't personally experienced them doesn't mean they don't occur. I've experienced them personally, I KNOW they are real.
It is becoming all too obvious that nobody is willing to evaluate the criticisms presented within the book on any objective basis, but instead willing to chalk it all up to 'nobodies perfect' and 'the books biased' and 'it seems to be written maliciously'
Again, I come back to this point:
That does not discredit the very serious allegations made by the author of the book.
Disregarding the points the author has made on the basis of bias, or that the author (and myself for some odd reason) is merely fault finding, or that it's malicious, does NOT discredit the allegations made. We're not just talking about the odd monks not meditating here nor a monks liking of alternative medicine, we're talking about allegations of widespread parajika incidents. I'm not defending the author and what is a very fiery and negative book, in my eyes there appears to be a heavy negative emotional investment on the part of the author. But I'll say it one final time: That does not discredit the allegations made by the author. There have been plenty of grumpy, angst ridden biased individuals throughout history who have blown whistles, their whistle blowing needs to be evaluated on the content itself, not upon the author's feelings.
If you are going to level a fair criticism of the allegations, and I more than hope somebody does, it needs to be on a logical basis, not a knee-jerk reaction.
Poisoning, Drugging, and Neglecting
For someone in mental cultivation, the sensitivity should increase not only about the internal drama but also the gross onethat going externally, but for Ven. Ariyananda, the latter one is a threat. He dwells comfortably when bhikkhus do not knowthings about Nā-Uyana according to reality (yathābhūtam na pajānāti). Sometimes, he know that they know, but just pretends that he do not know that they know. So in the end, both parties pretend that they do not know, and live happily ever after in an artificial ignorance. The Buddha called this 'harmony by non-Dhamma' (adhammena samaggaṃ). But if someone stepped outside this dilemma, showing that he do know, then things get worse by putting his own self in danger.Several years back, Ven. (Digana) Sugatavaṃsa refused those fake dhyanas given by Ven. Ariyananda and accused Ven.Ariyananda and his students as cheating and not having any dhyanas or real practice. This made Ven. Ariyananda more than unhappy, where he blamed and embarrassed Ven. Sugatavaṃsa publicly. Later, the latter left the monastery out of fear of losing his life, claiming that he was poisoned.In 2005 rains retreat, Ven. (Māpanawature) Sumedhālaṅkāra got terribly sick with several occurrences of severe heart attacks. This continued with blood vomiting for several days, and caused him rolling from side to side on a bed. Ven.Ariyananda not only paid no attention to the sick bhikkhu, but also did not allow the monastery vehicle to be used to bring him to hospital. However, on the next day, Ven. Ariyadhamma and Ven. Ariyananda went to attend the birthday celebrationof Mr. H.G. Āriyaratna's wife by the very same monastery vehicle. Later, some bhikkhus managed to bring the sick bhikkhu to hospital by a hired vehicle. However, within a short time, he passed away because of his already failed heart. Doctors accused the other accompanying bhikkhus, asking: "Why knowing that he was critically ill but did not bring him earlier? If you did so we would have save his life."Ven. Janānanda, an elder bhikkhu just a few vassa younger to Ven. Ariyadhamma. Unlike other elder bhikkhus in Nā-Uyana,he is known for not rejoicing and supporting Ven. Ariyananda's bad behaviours for the sake of survival in Nā-Uyana. Several years back, he was struck with a sudden sickness which made him even unable to get out of the bed. Even though this went on about a week, with attending bhikkhus begging, Ven. Ariyananda to take him to hospital, he allowed only after a visitingdoctor forced—under the request of some residents—him to do so. However, after recovery, Ven. Janānanda left the monastery. Once, Ven. Ariyananda came to a difficult situation of instructing Ven. Ariyavisuddhi with regard to his meditation, wherehe tried to avoid in several sessions redirecting the latter to Ven. Samita. This made the bhikkhu quite uncomfortable,because of bringing him this far but abandoning thereafter. He desperately said: "If you do not give me instructions, I willgo to Ven. Ariyadhamma and complain to him." During the coming days, he found that certain things were going against him, such as although his hut was far away, he was assigned to sweep Ven. Ariyadhamma's hut, in spite of this duty is normally done by young junior bhikkhus or novice monks. And one day, a henchman gave him some food, saying that he got them from the village. However, several hours after eating, he fell sick with a sudden high blood pressure even without any prior case history, and was unable to stand still for several days. Out of fear for his life in his old age, he left the monastery.Ven. Saddhammālaṅkāra was a bhikkhu who knew much of Ven. Ariyananda's dark side, due to his position as the Sangha store keeper and the involvement with management. He even went so far as to express his unhappiness about Ven. Ariyananda publicly.
Once, Ven. Saddhammālaṅkāra had to be operated for appendicitis, and admitted to government hospital, whereas at the same time a favourable bhikkhu of Ven. Ariyananda was admitted to a private hospital with bettercare for the same sickness. However, Ven. Saddhammālaṅkāra had a week body and was in poor health for many years due to some unknown reason. Doctors recommended him to have expensive check-ups but was unable to do due to receiving no support from Ven. Ariyananda. In the end of 2008, he suffered a sudden death. Before that he told bhikkhus that he was having a continuous stomach pain since several days. However, Ven. Ariyananda advised the bhikkhu who representing Nā-Uyana in the post-mortem as he was present at the moment of the death of the deceased, saying: "There is no need to mention to the coroner about the medicine—a high energy stomach medicine—that I gave him." Later, Ven. Ariyananda told the other bhikkhus that the deceased was born as a tree deva. Once, he told a foreign bhikkhu who were having a chronic health problem to stay away from Nā-Uyana for some time. To another local bhikkhu who informed Ven. Ariyananda that he had repeated chest pains spreading towards the hand—suspecting it is related to heart attack—he simply replied: "Take aralu."
This aralu powder, a laxative with a very strongsmell and taste, known among the bhikkhus as Ven. Ariyananda's panacea for all monastery ills. He regularly prescribes this to bhikkhus in high dosages. Once, a foreigner given this in a high dosage, after several shots of diarrhoea, fainted down and had to be admitted to hospital. The doctors were amazed to hear the overdose given. Hearing this, Ven. Ariyananda exclaimed: "What do they know!" There was one old bhikkhu who had certain kind of physical weakness, the doctor advised to inject 1.5 ml of insulin daily for him. One day, another bhikkhu noticed that Ven. Ariyananda was filling a syringe even passing 15 ml. Even though Ven.Ariyananda gave insulin to that old bhikkhu every day, he said that he mistakenly filled it that day. Nobody knows whether he repeated the same mistake on any other day. However, one time, this old bhikkhu had to be admitted to hospital due tohis symptoms became severe. While in the hospital, he angrily claimed to the doctor that he was poisoned when living inthe monastery.Other than these, there were number of cases of mixing certain drugs (e.g. sleeping tablets) into food and drinks of some bhikkhus which caused short-term adverse effects in the targeted bhikkhu. Even though Ven. Ariyananda treat the bhikkhus who in the enemy list cynically, when comes to the opposite, it also change contrarily. Once, Ven. Sudhammācāra's father was admitted to hospital and Ven. Ariyananda used the monastery vehicle and personal to send him food, until the patient dismissed from the hospital. Once, when a rich Singaporean donor wassick, Ven. Ariyananda invited her to come to Sri Lanka, promising to treat and support her

Babies are extremely vulnerable to viruses. Infant vaccinations protect babies from a variety of serious diseases, but some parents are concerned about whether the vaccines should be given so early. Here are some pros and cons of infant immunizations.
Pros: Provide antigens for vulnerable infants
Diseases the vaccines are meant to prevent are most likely to occur on infants. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 17,000 cases of severe types of pneumococcal infections, like meningitis, develop in children each year. Infant vaccines provide the baby with controlled antigens so that its body can create the antibodies to protect against certain diseases. Research shows that children under age of 2 are at higher risk of being infected than older children, according to a study published on American Academy of Pediatrics. An infant vaccine eliminates the risk as early as possible.
Some symptoms of the diseases, such as whooping cough, are especially strong in the young children, according to CDC. For example, HIB is a common disease among babies and children younger than 5 years old, according to the CDC. The vaccines protect the infants against bacterial meningitis, which can lead to brain damage, deafness and even death.
It may be too late if parents postpone the vaccines until the child is older.
Cons of infant immunization: Side effects
However, each vaccine may have certain side effects, just like any medication. According to CDC, these side effects include the soreness on the shot spot, fussiness, low-grade fever and redness on skin. Most of these effects are very minor and short-lived (usually go away in 3-5 days). Serious reactions such as severe allergic reaction are very rare, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In addition to some side effects, there was a suspicion as to whether the infant vaccinations could impair children's brain development. However, a new study conducted by University of Louisville shows that there was no evidence of neurodevelopment delays and autism caused by vaccines.
