What a thread. A coach uses a homophobic slur to a player, and some posters are more worried about other posters using the term "turd." Wow.
I have never once though heard a single player ever say a negative word about Brown in the long term. In fact most players go very far out of thier way to not say anything bad about a previous coach.
However in Jim's case the list of players who will line up to talk bad about him are long and wide.
The last two words of my first post.
That's what makes humans complicated beings. Al Capone opened a soup kitchen; not a good defense for his other behavior, just like Jim's work with the homeless doesn't excuse his press comments about our players or his reported behaviors.
I can't stand David Harrison. I think he's one of the biggest wastes of talent, but he just wrote something that could get him sued if not true. I don't know if it's true, but that's a very risky thing to say if not. And you're talking about what is fair and right, and I think that's way off base.
This seems like the kind of thread you might see in the late summer. ...and I'm really trying to forget those two guys...

"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
It's so bad, that Brandon and Roy were talking about DC having to deal with JOB this year.
I think this is just another example of JOB being JOB. Nothing shocking. Apparently He wasn't speaking to Wells either.
We are talking about classy "good" guys here. Roy Hibbert and Tyler Hansbrough type of guys. (I mean really, when Tyler talks it's a big deal. And for anything but a politically correct statement to come out of his mouth...)
For the record I think GRHibbert is being a turd and its comical to see his holier than thou attitude next to his Portland sucks picture.
For the record: The Portland sucks avatar is subtle little joke; it's not meant to be taken seriously.
Subtle? This is getting as bad as literally.
O'Brien has never said anything in the media about his players that I have found personally offensive, but I respect that many looked at the issue differently. "Irrelevant--do it in a winning effort." "Roy needs to do better." A litmus test on who has the mental toughness to push through, because we didn't want sunshine patriots. I was fine with it and never understood all the fuss, but that's me.
I find it interesting that you have mentioned my comment more than once even though I was responding in agreement to someone else who called JOB a turd first, which you've seen fit to ignore. Curious.
Nonetheless, I'll own up to the fact that it's not a particularly classy thing to say. Anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention to my posts over the years knows that I almost always refrain from name calling. But, I'm human and sometimes things slip out. I think characterizing it as "vicious" is a bit over the top, really, but OK. Most everyone else knows that I don't know JOB personally and can infer that I am not making a comment on his character off the court. From what I know of him as a coach I do not like what I've seen one bit. We have plenty of evidence that he was a bad coach and not a very nice guy at all to many of his players. I suppose that all sounds nicer than agreeing that he is a turd, so there ya go.

Apology accepted.
When O'Brien won in Boston, there was not a "list of players who will line up to talk bad about him long and wide." To quote O'Brien from the prior link....
"We had a great thing going there," O'Brien said. "We had almost an ideal situation where I loved the players. They did it with their work ethic. As a result there was a close bond of players and coaching staff. We had a terrific couple years.
"[Watching the trades] was painful. A group like that is hard to replace. [Ainge] had his reasons to tear it down and build it up to win a championship. It was too painful for me."
Said Ainge: "He's a good coach. A good person. I wish him well. I have no ill feelings about Jim O'Brien. He just wasn't comfortable in the situation he was in. I understood it."
But yes... when you are losing... even if you are in the process of overachieving in terms of the win-loss column, well, losing is still losing. And after a couple of years it's difficult for a lot of players to continue to play for a very demanding coach when the reward of winning is not there immediately.
This thread is silly.
This coming from the guy with the Portland Sucks avatar? Suicide capital is a 'subtle little joke'?

B) Eddie Johnson has trashed Brown with a specific story about how Reggie was busting it every practice, coming in first and leaving last, and yet Brown would still rip on him the most. The guys saw that and thought "what chance do I have if this guy thinks the hardest worker isn't trying".
Brown, like JOB, is the outdated old school jerk type that believes you must Marine boot camp style break everyone down to whimpering losers just so they will then buy into what you do and respect you as their leader. And that's been a big mistake in the era of high paid star athletes, especially the ones who have some brains and character. Tim Duncan doesn't want to hear how much he sucks, he wants to hear reason, respect and accountability.
Having said that, I agree with Peck that the line to trash JOB is drastically longer than the one for Brown. I'm just saying Brown was no saint and I really came to dislike him the more I learned and studied.
One of Brown's greatest turn-arounds was the Spurs. His first year with them he...did jack s***. His magic hadn't kicked in. But in year 2, boy did they learn from him. Like they learned how to add BOTH David Robinson and Sean Elliot in the same year due to David's Navy service delay.
Pacers only added Tony from Europe and then only added Jax. And then Brown didn't want Jax because he wanted Rose, who he then decided to prove a point to and benched him completely. Then he wanted Jax back in the very same season. This ran the team into the dirt and got his a** canned.
Brown was a classic case of "well he sure was better than the crappy coach" syndrome, where he replaced the underachieving Bob Hill who was wasting tons of talent and only got to stay because he had replaced the god awful Versace.
Brown knows some X's and O's, but he knows business and good situations even more. And he's kind of a selfish jerk.
I picture JOB in the role of Big Bob and David Harrison in the role of Harold and Kumar

TURBO diesel trains used by First Great Western and Chiltern Railways will get better facilities for disabled passengers as part of a £20m overhaul.
New disabled-accessible toilets will be installed on all 96 of the trains, along with improved seating arrangements for passengers with reduced mobility.
The changes are being made to make sure the trains, which were built in the early 1990s, comply with new regulations stipulating that trains must be accessible to disabled passengers by 2020.
Doors will also be overhauled and the trains repainted as part of the project.
While Chiltern's trains are expected to remain in use between London Marylebone, Bicester and Banbury well into the 2020s, FGW's trains are due to be displaced from services between London, Reading, Didcot, Oxford and the Cotswolds in 2016-17 by new electric trains.
Some are likely to operate on the new East-West rail link between Oxford, Bicester and Milton Keynes, from its opening in 2017 until 2019, when electric trains will take over, but most of the fleet is expected to be transferred to routes in the West Country.
Kevin Tribley, chief operating officer of Angel Trains which leases the Turbo trains to the two operators, said: "This contract demonstrates our commitment to the enhancement of our assets throughout their life.
"The vehicles will be the first of Angel Trains' fleet to conform to the regulations on accessibility."
Chiltern's Clubman trains and FGW's fleets of 125mph Class 180 Adelante trains and High Speed Trains already have disabled-access toilets.
The overhauls will begin in September this year and run until April 2018.

Paul Doswell has heralded a new dawn at Sutton United and rubbished talk of a crisis at Gander Green Lane.
The departure of club stalwarts Jamie Stuart, Anthony Riviere and Sam Rents, as well as Dean McDonald, to Margate, has triggered consternation among fans.
Doswell has also revealed that, after a loan spell at Eastbourne Borough, Jamie Taylor is available for sale to the south coast club at the right price – adding to the disquiet.
United's Skrill South form has garnered just 12 points from the 10 games since the beginning of November, leaving them fourth in the table, but a mammoth 20 points behind leaders Bromley.
However, Doswell insists the four departures were instigated by United in an effort to address the recent slump in form, reduce the wage bill and bring in fresh new faces.
And the fresh faces have come in thick and fast with the arrival on rolling contracts of goalkeeper David Gregory and midfielder Alex Wynter from Crystal Palace, and Harry Osborne (from Charlton Athletic) and Kane Haysman (from Gillingham).
Lee Sawyer has signed after being released by Woking, while Gavin McCallum has returned to the Lane after a spell with the same club.
Doswell is also hopeful of recruiting former Welsh international Rhys Weston from AFC Wimbledon and 18-year-old midfielder Dammy Shitta from Millwall.
Doswell said: "We're fourth in the table, which is not quite where we wanted to be to be honest. I expected us to be closer to Bromley but they have been exceptional.
"About three weeks ago, I looked at the squad and what we're spending, and it was a conscious decision from me to take out some of the older players.
Target: At 33 years old, Rhys Weston would be one of Doswell's more experienced signings
"We have done the right thing for them by getting them to a club that is looking to push on and the right thing for this football club because we have reduced our budget by 25 per cent."
"Our form from November to December shows this to be the right move, as does the fact our crowds are not getting better – that it is really disappointing."
He added: "But I am not down – I am a fighter, I am a realist. If we had been supported by better crowds, which had been more enthusiastic, we would have been pushing even harder.
"The fact is we're not being supported, there is apathy around the place. Not from the players or the board, but from the Sutton public.
"So I wanted freshen things up and get some younger legs in the team, and give it a real good go in the second half of the season and prove we can get into the play-offs on a mid-table budget."
Gone: Dean McDonald
Doswell's determination to get the best from his young players starts this weekend when Gregory and Wynter will line up alongside Osborne, Sawyer, McCallum and Haysman for the visit of Gosport Borough.
And to the fans voicing concerns, Doswell said: "They either trust the manager or they don't. There is no crisis.
"All the players who have left were decisions made by me and the staff. We feel we can strengthen and do better with the young players we have brought in."
He added: "I cannot wait to see those young players blossom and I think they will.
"That is what my football is all about now, working with the young players and making Sutton United a place fans want to visit.
"It is a magnificent football club, with a great board with perhaps the best chairman I have ever worked with.
"If we were to get promoted, the crowds would improve so my goal is achieve that under budget."

FRUSTRATED carers who were told they may no longer be able to bring the people they care for to Bury Carers Centre have been offered a compromise.
The centre, in Silver Street, holds a range of activities for carers, including art classes, tai chi and a weekly coffee morning.
In November last year, a letter was sent to the centre's users stating those they care for can no longer also attend these meetings, citing health and safety issues.
The letter, signed by Alistair Mirfin, carers' senior development worker at Bury Council, and centre manager Sheila Blackman, stated: "Bury Carers Centre is a service for carers and, as such, we will no longer be able to offer the person you care for a place on the activity."
Furious users of the centre, including Pat Coote, vice chairman of the Bury Carers Forum, said these plans created a potential "barrier" for attendees.
Pat, who takes husband Wilfred to Bury Carers Centre, said: "Sometimes a carer can only attend with the person they care for due to cost, the risk of leaving someone unattended or because they prefer to do things together.
"What about our choice? If a carer cannot attend the centre with the person they care for, they are being denied access to support, advice and information.
"This shows how unimportant carers seem to be to the people who should be our champions."
A spokesman for Bury Council said the centre needs to represent all carers — those who want to bring the person they care for to activities and those who do not.
Following policy discussions, a solution to alternate the weeks carers can attend with their cared-for with those they attend alone has been suggested.
But Louise Brook, who has used the centre for several years, said the decision made carers the victims of disability discrimination by association.
Louise, who lives in Radcliffe said: "This is a violation of human rights — a direct contravention of the Equality Act 2010 and the Bury CCG Equality Publication 2014.
"Our job is hard enough without having the full backing and understanding of the council."
Cllr Rishi Shori, Cabinet Member for Adult Care, Health & Housing said he sympathised with carers.
He said: "I have asked council officers to look at taking a much more flexible approach that perhaps can see days being allotted for when just carers can attend the centre and those in which carers can bring the people they care for.
"There isn't just one type of carer in our community and we people in different circumstances."
Cllr Joan Grimshaw, chairman of Bury Carers Forum, said she was "grateful" Cllr Shori had intervened and listened to the views of carers centre users.
Recently elected chairman, Cllr Grimshaw oversaw a turnout of more than 100 unpaid carers at a forum held last month.

LONG BEACH - It's fair to say President Abraham Lincoln has seldom been hotter.
The time seemed ideal for Don Schwartz, a professor emeritus at Cal State Long Beach, to present a series of lectures on the 16th president of the United States.
"I think (Lincoln) is still relevant today," Schwartz said, "because his personal qualities were able to transcend what politicians are mired in today."
Although Lincoln is in particular vogue these days - particularly with the release of the Steven Spielberg movie, "Lincoln" - interest in him often seems perennial and unquenchable.
Schwartz said 15,000 Lincoln book titles have been written since his death; only Jesus and Napoleon have been written about more.
Even conservative television personality Bill O'Reilly has been steeped in the mania, co-authoring "Killing Lincoln." A film version is expected in February on the National Geographic Channel.
Schwartz said historians consistently rate Lincoln as America's greatest president.
Despite being what Schwartz described as the "least-prepared" person to become president as a former one-term congressman, Lincoln piloted the nation through "the greatest challenge any president ever faced," kept the country united and oversaw the end slavery with the signing of the 13th Amendment of the Constitution.
This year, January marks the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the executive order that declared freedom for all slaves in Confederate states.
The Lincoln lectures, which kick off Thursday, will include PowerPoint and documentary film clips.
The talks will cover Lincoln's early life and preparation for the presidency, the causes of the war, the election and outbreak of the war, the evolution of Lincoln's views on slavery, his role as commander in chief, and the 13th Amendment, his assassination and his legacy.
One of Lincoln's most impressive qualities, Schwartz said, was his "capacity for growth," which today might be seen as flip-flopping.
Although Lincoln is known as the Great Emancipator, Schwartz notes, he "was against the abolitionists, originally, although he didn't support slavery."
Schwartz also notes that Lincoln was no saint and a very shrewd politician, who also was able to keep rivals off-balance with his folksy personality.
Schwartz marvels at Lincoln's enduring ability to be all things to all people, a hero of both Republicans and Democrats and even teens, as evidenced by another 2012 depiction in the movie, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
"In an era when we need heroes, Lincoln is a chest-thumping vampire killer," Schwartz said.

"California home sales were strong in May, continuing the gradual recovery of the California housing market," said CAR President LeFrancis Arnold. "First-time buyers are recognizing that the housing market has hit bottom and are now seeing a sense of urgency to take advantage of ultra-low interest rates and advantageous home prices."
"Additionally," he said, "trade-up buyers are returning to the market after sitting it out for the past few years to get in on favorable home prices."
Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California climbed 3.4% from April's revised 553,670 to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 572,260 in May, according to information collected by CAR from more than 90 local Realtor associations and multiple listing services statewide.
May sales surged 21.5% from May 2011's revised 470,910 pace, marking the highest year-over-year sales increase since May 2009. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2012 if sales maintained the May pace throughout the year and is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales.
The May 2012 sales pace was the highest since February 2009, when 598,770 homes were sold at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate.
Home prices appear to be stabilizing, with the median home price posting both month-over-month and year-over-year gains for the third consecutive month. The statewide median price of an existing, single-family detached home was $312,110 in May, the highest since September 2010.
May's price was up 1% from a revised $309,050 in April and 6.6% from a revised $292,850 recorded in May 2011. The May 2012 figure was 27.3% higher than the cyclical bottom of $245,230 reached in February 2009. The median price has posted above the $300,000 level for the second straight month after remaining below that mark for 15 months.
The increase in the median price can be attributed to the strong sales increase in the higher-priced coastal regions, particularly in the Bay Area, where job growth is strong and the economy is growing faster than in other areas of the state.
California's housing inventory sank lower in May, with the Unsold Inventory Index for existing, single-family detached homes dropping to 3.5 months in May, down from 4.2 months in April. May's housing inventory was down from a revised 5.7 months in May 2011. The index indicates the number of months needed to sell the supply of homes on the market at the current sales rate. A 7-month supply is considered normal.
"Low housing inventory continues to be the critical issue in the California market," said CAR Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. "Inventory levels have not been this low since December 2005, when the supply matched the current level."
"The Bay Area has the greatest shortage of homes for sale, with inventory levels in the two- to three-month range for Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties," she added.
Interest rates continued their downward trend in May, with 30-year fixed-mortgage interest rates averaging 3.80%, down from 3.91% in April and 4.64% in May 2011, according to Freddie Mac. Adjustable-mortgage interest rates averaged 2.74% in May, down from 2.78% in April and 3.13% in May 2011.
Homes are moving faster on the market with the median number of days it takes to sell a single-family home dropping to 46.6 days in May, down from a revised 48.9 days in April and 52.0 days in May 2011.

Category: granny names
Guest blogger Skye Pifer, of Sarasota, Florida, co-authored "The New Grandparent Name Book; a lighthearted guide to picking the perfect grandparent name," with her mother, Lin Wellford, who lives in the Arkansas Ozarks.
I guess you could say my mom is something of a name fanatic. She picked out my name when she was still a little girl, after seeing it in one of her aunt's movie magazines. Soon after that, she modified her own name, one she points out, that is shared by at least a million other girls born in the late 1940's through the mid-1960's; Linda. She tried to get people to call her Lynn but public school teachers seemed determined to use the name on her records. Only after the fresh start of college did she try again, spelling it 'Lin,' and that time it took.
So when she learned I was expecting, it didn't take my mother long to began wondering what her grandchild-to-be should call her. In our family, grandparenting names are pretty personal. My maternal great-grandparents called themselves "Gramma and Gran." Another set were "Mamaw and Pampaw." My own grandmother (the person who stuck my mom with 'Linda') was certainly old enough to be a grandmother when I came along. But she rejected all the more standard grandmother names and elected to be called "Mutti" (a German version of 'Mom.' She's now in her late 80's and is known as Mutti not just to her eight grandchildren, but also to our spouses, friends, and now several great-grands as well.
Because she was aware that the name she picked was likely to stay with her for the rest of her life, my mom was determined to choose one that made her happy. It needed to suit her personality, not be super-common, and sound good coming not just from a toddler but also from a teenager. We both began paying attention to what other grandparents were calling themselves, jotting down various options to try them out. I discovered how inventive people in my parent's generation are when it comes to their grandparenting names.
I'll admit that I hoped Mom wouldn't come up with anything too off-the-wall. I kind of cringed at the thought of her being a Bubbles, or Glamma. There are so many options for variations along more traditional lines, like Nanna, Gram or MeMo. Or she could have picked a name from another culture, like Oma, which is German, or Abbi, short for Abuelita, Spanish for grandmother. Noni, Peaches, Sonoma, G-Ma, MoMo, and Grindi, are just a few of the more unusual names we ended up collecting. My mom's cousin is a professional nanny caring for a set of twins whose grandparents call themselves Rocky and Kitty. My cousin's in-laws go by Bubba and Bama. One of Mom's friends confessed that she hoped that if she ever had grandchildren, she'd ask them to call her Granzilla! Luckily, in the end, Mom decided upon using Mimi as her grandmother name. My dad was not that picky, so when I suggested he be 'Popi', he was happy to go along with that.

I listen to a lot of demos, and you've got more than enough skills, but like all the others, the lyrics are too repetitive. I'm waiting to hear someone who says and does something that isn't being said or done. When Nas came out, no one was doing what he was doing, same for Biggie, Tupac, Tribe Called Qwest, Jay-Z etc. I have some friends who can get you signed, but they are hesitant to get down with rappers because they want some originality. Man, you got the talent to be the next big thing, and I know this by what I've heard so far, but you don't want to be another artist that gets signed because your sound/style reminds people of someone who did it before. Your skills are incredible, the only thing you're missing is some originality. And I hope you don't take this as a diss, because you are raw, no doubt! Just want to supply a little knowledge for you. Peace!
The song is tight man, I really like it. A couple of things: sounds like you rushed through this one. Always take your time and put out a good product, no matter what anyone else says. Also, the words (lyrics) were kind of running into each other, again, sounding like a rushed work. Lets do an experiment...I will send you a poem I wrote, and I want you to turn it into a rap. First off, take time to really read it, understand the meaning, dissect it like you back in biology taking that frog apart. You can add to it or take away from it, whatever you need to do to make it do what you want it to do. Let me know when you got it done, music and all so I can hear it. If I like it, you can keep it, no strings attached. If I think it needs work, I will let you know, but if it sucks (which I don't think it will), then I get it back and I never see it published or recorded anywhere else (work is copyrighted). Man, I think you got some mad skills, and you first have to take your time and write some good songs, and second, don't be afraid to try something different. Most people don't know this, but Tupac, although he was not the most lyrically heralded rapper, he wrote a lot based on poems he wrote (about 25 or so were published and recorded on CD). Poem is below...good luck!
Lifetime (Letter to my long lost friend)
A lifetime, it took me. To get to know you, to become your friend.
A lifetime,
for others to see in you what I saw.
A decent human being.
A lifetime, it seems,
for us growing up, to receive the breaks others were afforded...but we did.
A lifetime, you know,
for a true friend like you to come along.
Now you're gone, and still I know it will take,
A lifetime for me to stop missing you.
I miss you, man.
aye i really like ur songs but da one i lke da best is thugged out shawtee but keep doin wat u do cuz u hot !!!!1

FC Dallas midfielder Brek Shea will miss 12-14 weeks after having surgery to remove a sesamoid bone from his right foot Thursday, the club announced.
Shea, 22, missed the final three games of the MLS season and was sent home from U.S. national team camp before last month's World Cup qualifiers because of an abdominal strain that FCD said was related to the foot injury.
Shea appeared in 21 MLS games this season, getting three goals and two assists. Those totals represented a significant decline from the 11 goals and four assists he had in 2011, when he played in 31 league matches.
Shea appeared six times for the U.S. this year, three as a starter, and also was part of the Under-23 team that failed in its bid to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics. He spent a portion of last winter training at English Premier League club Arsenal.
FC Dallas finished the season 9-13-12 and did not make the MLS Cup playoffs.

You'd think that Todd Camp and Kyle Trentham would be busy enough with Q Cinema, Q Live! and Q Cinema's weekly stand-up comedy shows. But noooooo!
The two Cowtown Q chiefs somehow managed to find the time to let their talents shine on stage in an offbeat little play that winds up its run this weekend.
The play, presented by Drag Strip Courage — "Producing the art that others won't" — is called Some Things You Need to Know Before the World Ends (A Final Evening with the Illuminati), by Larson and Lee. It is, according to their press release, the story of Reverend Eddie, played by Seth Johnson, who is taunted by his archenemy, the Illuminati, as he waits for death. Trouble is, only Reverend Eddie can hear the Illuminati's evil whisperings, much to the chagrin of his much-put-upon assistant Brother Lawrence, played by Michael E. Muller.
"The paranoid, pill-popping preacher experiences a handful of hallucinations after he and several townsfolk are exposed to nerve gas, and the audience is allowed insight into his visions as he gives several absurd sermons."
Todd and Kyle get the fun parts in the play, sounds like to me, since between them they get to play all the nameless characters that populate Reverend Eddie's hallucinations, including, the press release says, "a person approved for sainthood by a bitchy celestial servant, a pair of country singers on ukeleles and the Apostle Paul re-envisioned as '70s gay icon Paul Lynde."
(Todd seemed pretty happy about the fact that he gets to do his Paul Lynde impersonation on stage, by the way.)
The final performances of the show, directed by Justin Flowers, start at 8 p.m. each night Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 15-17, indoors at Arts Fifth Avenue, 1628 5th Ave. in Fort Worth. Tickets are $10. And as an added bonus, Works Old and New — An Exhibit of Artwork by Lake Simons is also on display at Arts Fifth Avenue through July 22.

Quintessence Theatre Presents Anouilh's ANTIGONE, Previews 2/29
Quintessence Theatre Group continues its second season with Jean Anouilh's 1943 adaptation of Sophocles' ANTIGONE, in a translation by Jeremy Sams, directed by Alexander Burns. ANTIGONE will start previews on Wednesday, February 29th at 7pm and open on Saturday, March 3rd at 8pm at the Sedgwick Theater, 7137 Germantown Ave in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, 19119. To purchase tickets, visit www.QuintessenceTheatre.org or call 1.877.238.5596.
About the show: Antigone's prideful father King Oedipus sought the truth at the cost of losing his kingdom, his queen, and his eyes. A civil war erupts over which of Antigone's brothers is to rule Thebes and both are killed in the battle. The new leader, her uncle Creon, decides to make one of her brothers a hero. The other is left to rot unburied in the field. Antigone defies her uncle's edict and does what she believes is right. Can a civilization and its ruler survive her civil disobedience?
Written in 1943 during the German occupation of France, ANTIGONE is one of the great adaptations of classic drama which combines the master of Greek tragedy, Sophocles, with the modern wit of French dramatist Jean Anouilh. Celebrated British dramatist Jeremy Sams translates this masterpiece into potent, poetic and contemporary English.
Quintessence has announced Lavita Shaurice*, Robert Jason Jackson* and Cheryl Williams* will make their Quintessence debuts in ANTIGONE. Lavita Shaurice delighted Philadelphia audiences in the Wilma Theatre's production My Wonderful Day and will be taking on the titular role. Celebrated Broadway actor Robert Jason Jackson will come to Philadelphia to bring to life the complex leader Creon. Barrymore Award winner Cheryl Williams will play the nurse. Maechi Aharanwa will also be returning to Philadelphia to make her Quintessence debut as Ismene. Following his celebrated performance as Sganarelle in last season's Don Juan, John Williams will play Prologue. Khris Davis (Lorenzo in The Merchant of Venice and Arlecchino in The Venetian Twins) will play Prince Haemon and Sean Bradley (Bassanio in The Merchant of Venice) returns as the First Guard. The cast also includes Alexander Harvey (Alice in Henry V and Lancelot in The Merchant of Venice) and Doug Greene (Quintessence's Measure For Measure) with Matt Tallman making his Quintessence debut as the Second Guard.
Quintessence Theatre Group is Philadelphia's new professional classical theatre company, dedicated to the performance and adaptation of epic works of classic drama and literature for the Contemporary Stage. Rooted in the traditions of classical drama, we explore what is essential in theatre and human nature, igniting the mind of artists and audiences through the power of the live actor, design and the spoken word.
Over the next five years Quintessence Theatre Group will work to establish an acting ensemble and a rotating repertory at the historic Sedgwick Theater in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. This past fall The Venetian Repertory marked Quintessence's first demonstration of the power of a classical repertory ensemble. Quintessence Theatre Group will continue its residency at the historic Sedgwick Theater, playing a central role in the renaissance of main street Mt. Airy, a thriving and diverse neighborhood located in northwest Philadelphia.
ANTIGONE plays February 29th – March 25th. A special PAY WHAT YOU CAN preview will be presented on Wednesday, February 29th at 7:00pm. A discussion on Sophocles, Anouilh and Antigone with director Alexander Burns will occur before the show on Thursday, March 15th.

Our leaders' personal experiences and shared commitment to high-quality dental care for underserved communities led Kool Smiles to become what it is today.
"Building patients' self-esteem is my job and I am a Kool Smiles dentist." - Dr. Eric
The Kool Smiles family includes many veterans, in addition to active duty servicemen and women. Delivering quality care to military families is of utmost importance to the children's dental provider, which accepts Tricare dental insurance for military members and has several dental offices located near military bases.
Operation Troop Treats is a small way for Kool Smiles to help share a smile with those who serve our nation each day. The program offers children the chance to exchange their Halloween candy for a toy at participating Kool Smiles offices nationwide. In collaboration with Operation Gratitude, the donated candy is sent in care packages to U.S. troops abroad, delivering smiles to thousands of American heroes.
In 2014, Kool Smiles collected a record-breaking 4,372 pounds – more than two tons – of candy during its third annual Operation Troop Treats. To learn more, please visit the press release. http://mykoolsmiles.com/media/press-release/for-kids-nationwide-kool-smiles-made-good-dental-hygiene-and-giving-back-to-military-members-overseas-a-part-of-halloween
As part of our mission to improve dental access in underserved communities, Kool Smiles donated more than 400 dental kits to nursery and primary school students in Haimaracabra, a small indigenous village in Guyana with extremely limited access to dental care.
United States Peace Corps volunteers then delivered the dental supplies and demonstrated proper oral hygiene practices to the students. To learn more, please visit the following press release. http://mykoolsmiles.com/media/press-release/kool-smiles-helps-peace-corps-deliver-needed-dental-health-supplies-to-children-in-rural-guyanese-village
"Taking care of those who need it most is my job and I am a Kool Smiles team member." - Krissy
65 salaries reported
$13.39 per hour
23 salaries reported
$13.20 per hour
16 salaries reported
$51,251 per year
At Kool Smiles, our dream is to create a world of happy, healthy smiles. We believe that every family in America deserves quality dental care, and that's what drives us to open dental offices in over 125 underserved communities in 15 states plus Washington DC. And it's why we're selecting smart, talented people like you to join us.
Each day, millions – more... of us get up and spend most of our day working and then wonder whether our efforts truly made a difference. Is that you? Are you living a life of significance? At the end of each day, everyone at Kool Smiles knows they've accomplished something that matters—something that makes a difference in the world, a positive change in the lives of children and their families. Many career paths make you choose between earning a great living and doing something greater— you'll find both at Kool Smiles, along with a group of hard-working, fun-loving people who share a passion for working with a purpose.
You will not only receive exceptional compensation from day one, but you will be making a profound impact in communities where access to dental care is severely limited, yet desperately needed.
"When you talk about making a difference in the world, you talk about changing one child's life, you have the opportunity to do that every day." - Dr. Polly – less

Many times I hear teachers speak of the original time that the Buddha taught that meditation to the monks. They were meditating in a forest and were scared away by spirits who resented their presence. So he instructed them to go back and meditate on metta. The spirits were pleased and allowed the monks to stay, protecting them.
Does anyone know from which sutta this originates? I can't seem to find it.
Thank you!

This cover pretty much as advertised. Fits well, seems well made, sheds water (though not waterproof). It's a little more slippery than my previous cover, but that's a minor point. Happy with the product. And I like the tan color, which is perfect for where I live.

Tim Rogerson "Feelin the love" is a fine art giclee on canvas 24x18 hand signed and numbered. This is a limited edition size of only 195. TIM ROGERSON'S JAZZ COLLECTION DEBUTING AT ARTEXPO NEW YORK LOS ANGELES, CA Painter Tim Rogerson captures the many colorful moods of jazz in a new quintet of paintings for Collectors Editions, an art publishing company in Los Angeles. All images will be featured as hand-embellished giclees on canvas in a limited edition of 195. All pieces are signed and numbered by the artist. I basically have two loves in life, Rogerson says. Music and Art. I can't paint without music. In these paintings, I'm able to combine my love of art and music onto a blank canvas. I chose jazz because it gave me freedom to do anything. It allows me to go crazy with color and line. Jazz has no rules and it's all about expressing yourself. It's like a candy store for an artist's imagination. Three Guys Named Joe 18x24 Rogerson's father is a musician and music was always a part of the Rogerson's family life. Music came very easily for me, Tim remembers. I played all the time. I can play almost every instrument, and my strongest talents would be guitar, piano, saxophone, and drums. I've played in many bands, inside and outside of school but my favorite were always jazz bands because the music is so different. Jazz has more freedom; it's offbeat and has no rules. It's much more about playing music than reading notes off a page. I love it. "These are exciting works from a genre that is full of great American tradition," says Collectors Editions President and CEO, Michael Young. "They celebrate jazz, they celebrate art and they celebrate life. For such a young painter, Tim shows tremendous depth and an understanding of his subject matter that is well beyond his years." "We're incredibly excited to have him on board with us," says Collectors Editions Director of Creative Services Steve Wetzel. "He adds an element of fun and excitement that speaks clearly to a whole new modern art audience

An Izakaya is a common Japanese bar/restaurant that is often found in cosmopolitan areas for after-work relaxation and an opportunity to unwind after a busy day.
These restaurants are often informal and have a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Izakaya restaurants all have a multi-faceted menu and offer many types of food such as sashimi, tempura and yakitori; all appetizing dishes which go well with the alcohol served such as beer, sake and shochu.
Due to the informal atmosphere, instead of ordering and eating individual platters, customers usually share all dishes with one another in their party.
The ability to share food among your party is what makes the Izakaya experience truly unique.
The Japanese Izakaya WANN has brought a whole new form of this Japanese-style dining to the people of Seattle.
While maintaining true to the Izakaya environment, WANN have brought class, sophistication and refinement to match the modern people of today.
Dining at Wann is truly a unique and pleasurable experience, leaving you with the feeling of pure bliss.

Re: new cancer patient
We have two sons, Jake is 21 and Noah is 15. We have been very open with them because at first I did not give them much info. about my cancer and they were hearing things from other parents and social media...besides researching it on the Internet. so we decided we wanted to be the first to tell them what was going on. My best support comes from this site and other ladies I meet with for lunch that have CC. I was told I am not eligible for a transplant because I had metastisis in the liver. It doesn't make sense that if the cancer is only in the liver why can't they take the liver out and replace it. I have read a lot about the immune suppressant drugs you take for transplants and that can spread cancer elsewhere in your body if you have cancerous cells in your body. I just pray my doctors make the best choices and I really trust them.

Scarlet Kitten and Styx – Humane Society Pets of the Week!
My cat has recently lost weight. When I took her to the vet to get her checked out, he did a test and discovered that her liver isn't functioning normally, so we put her on a special diet in an effort to fatten her up and hopefully get her liver to function as it should. Though it's only been a few days, she seems to be feeling better and has been dutifully eating when I put her food in front of her. The experience has made me realize just how much I want to keep her around. Some pets don't have a person to care for them and fight to keep them around, and that's where you come in.
The Humane Society shelters pets, gets them the care they need, gives them the love they're craving, and does their best to place them in permanent homes. Whether you're looking for a lazy dog who prefers a quiet walk to play, or a cat who chases toys, chances are the Humane Society will have your perfect match.
May I present our pets of the week. If you'd like to see them in person or get more information on these pets or any other pets that the Humane Society has, check them out online here or call 940-855-4941. They're located at 4360 Old Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls.

Goalkeeper Linda Martin was among the goalscorers as Monaghan made it five wins from five outings in Division 1 of the Tesco Homegrown Ladies National League on Sunday afternoon.
Gregory McGonigle's side enjoyed a 4-09 to 1-06 victory on their travels against Laois to maintain their 100 percent record.
Martin pounced on the rebound after her penalty struck the crossbar and experienced forward Niamh Kindlon also netted for Monaghan in the first half.
The Ulster champions led by 2-06 to 0-02 at half-time before Therese McNally and Ciara McAnespie grabbed second half goals. Martina Dunne scored a consolation goal for Laois.
Barring a miracle, Meath look doomed to relegation after losing to Donegal in Dunganny. Donegal secured top-flight football for next season with a 2-11 to 2-08 victory.
A haul of 2-03 from Katie O'Brien was not enough for Meath as Geraldine McLaughlin bagged 1-09 for Donegal.
Wing-back Deirdre Foley scored the other goal for the north-westerners.
And Dublin enjoyed a 3-07 to 0-06 victory over Tyrone at UCD.
Noelle Healy scored Dublin's first half goal as Paul Gilheaney's charges led by 1-04 to 0-03 at half-time.
Dublin's win was marred; however, by an injury to captain Sinead Goldrick in the first half.
Dublin substitute Hannah Tyrell and Natalia Hyland added second half goals for the Sky Blues.
In poor weather conditions, Dublin scored all but a point of their winning tally from play.
And on Saturday, Cork consolidated their position in second place with a 2-10 to 1-11 win over Mayo in Claremorris.
First-half goals from Valerie Mulcahy and Rhona Ní Bhuachalla helped the TG4 All-Ireland senior champions to lead by 2-4 to 0-3 at half-time.
Aileen Gilroy pulled a goal back for Mayo in the second half but the Westerners now have some work to do if they're to make the top four. Mayo were reduced to 14 players late on when Claire Egan was dismissed on a second yellow card.
In Division 2, the four semi-finalists are now confirmed.
Kerry, Galway, Westmeath and Kildare will make up the last four with the final round of fixtures to decide the semi-final pairings.
2012 All-Ireland senior finalists Kerry are top of the table after a 2-11 to 2-09 victory over Kildare and Galway's 1-05 to 1-03 victory over Westmeath moves the Westerners into second place.
Fermanagh and Cavan were also victorious in Division 2 while in Division 3, there were victories for Longford, Tipperary, Sligo and Armagh. Limerick enjoyed a one-point victory over Louth in Division 4.

There is a little Middle Eastern eatery in my neighborhood that I could eat at once a week if I let myself. They have wonderful food there, a favorite being the tender, tangy and lightly spicy kebabs of chicken or beef or lamb.
When we make time to visit this place, The Man can be counted on to get the chicken kebabs. He always marvels at the wonderful flavor and at how tender they are.
"How," he asks, "do they get them like this?"
I explain that they probably soak them for a good long time in a marinade that would include lemon and oil and spices.
"Can you do this at home?" he wants to know, as the kebabs disappear quickly. Our son Ben, 3, sits next to him, gnawing happily at his own kebab.
Well, it took a few experiments. Getting the amount of lemon juice right, balanced with the right spices in the correct proportions was the key. First it was too tangy. Then it was too spicy.
Finally I found the balance. I did a little research and debated using Aleppo pepper, to be more authentic. But since I already had cayenne, I opted to just use that with some smoked paprika. More smoked paprika than pepper so it is not too hot. And with some mint (or oregano), coriander and cumin in this along with lemon and garlic, I skipped the salt entirely.
Even though this is really a basic mix, there was no shortage of seasoning.
The amount of time the chicken is left to soak plays a factor, too.
I like a nice long bath for this, to let the lemon and spices really do their work. So I cut up the chicken and make this marinade the night before I want to cook it. Then in the morning I put the chicken in with the marinade and let it soak all day, usually about 10 hours.
When I get home from work, the work is in just getting the chicken on the skewers and then grilled. At this point the chicken cooks quickly on the grill, done in about 10 minutes. And after marinating all day, there is a really good lemony zip to these, but the spice is not too overpowering.
At the restaurant they give us a little dip for the kebabs of yogurt with some cucumber and herbs. When I am too lazy to do even that, I just serve these with plain Greek yogurt.
To round out the meal and make it more like what we get when we go out, I serve this with saffron rice with almond slivers and some simple grilled tomatoes and zucchini.
Lemony, spiced chicken kebabs
Yield: 4 servings
- 6 cloves garlic, mashed into a paste (or 6 cubes frozen crushed garlic)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons dried mint or oregano leaves
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (for serving)
Special equipment: Skewers, preferably metal
Cook's note: I use metal skewers to eliminate the soaking time some recipes call for with wooden or bamboo skewers to avoid having the skewers burn on the grill. Though in some cooking circles, people say the soaking step is unnecessary. I find that using metal skewers works best for me.
1. Combine garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and dried mint in a bowl.
2. Add chicken, tossing so that all pieces are coated in the marinade.
3. Cover and refrigerate 2-10 hours.
4. Heat grill to medium-high.
5. Put chicken pieces on skewers and cook about 10 minutes total, until chicken has a nice light char on the outside and is cooked through. Serve with Greek yogurt on the side for dipping.

Now more than ever, you want the holiday season to be special; to shed the woes and stresses of the year and savor times with your friends and family. If you're at a loss on how to reach your fantasy of a peaceful and memorable time, check out these simple ideas for unforgettable gifts, festive decorating, and activities to keep the kids occupied. Read on to get yourself into the holiday spirit.
Easy and awesome ideas for presents
Forget about pounding the pavement for the perfect gift. Whether you're creating homemade goodies, handcrafting a special gift, or delivering a purchased present, Avery can help you sprinkle in a little personal touch to any gift you give.
- Maybe you were even loftier in your present making, and knitted a sweater or crafted an ornament with your bare hands. To make your handmade treasures all the merrier, tie on Avery Printable Tags with Strings. These tags are equally classy on store-bought or homemade items. Just personalize, print, and attach them to your gifts for an impressive look to your bundles of holiday cheer.
- Perhaps you're besieged this season and prefer to buy presents instead of pulling crafting all-nighters. At Avery, we don't judge. If you're limited on time, try re-packaging a purchased gift and make it your own. Wine bottles can be the hit of the season using Avery Shipping Labels with TrueBlock® Technology.Personalize with a cheerful salutation and the recipient's name on the label using Avery Design & Print Online. Then place the label over the wine bottle label. Don't worry—with TrueBlock® Technology, the label will completely cover up the existing label so it won't show through. This little re-packaging trick can be done on almost anything. Experiment with bath salts or loofahs for a spa-themed gift, or store-bought gourmet items for the "foodies" in your friend circle.
Once you've decided on the design, you can carry it through to your mailing and shipping labels, too. How's that for coordinated style? Gift receivers will be pleased as punch with the thought you put into the present, and they'll have no idea how easy it was.
Holidays at the homestead—indulge your urge to decorate
Looking for new ways to infuse your home with the holiday spirit? Try these decorating tips for the holidays.
- Avery Window Signage can be used to create signs and decorations that add unconventional holiday flair. Try fun messages like "Reindeer Crossing" or "Santa Welcome!" for a cheerful seasonal splash. Creating a countdown calendar would be cool for the kids; they can cross off each day leading up to Christmas. And a personalized welcome sign would be perfect for a relative visiting from out of town.
- Tie Avery Printable Gift Tags to your kids' stockings. Their eyes will light up when they see their name on the stocking, and you'll avoid confusion when it comes time to claim prizes on Christmas morning.
Car rides and kids—Avery offers the antidote to "Are we there yet?"
Once the letters are sent to Santa, the gifts are wrapped and the house bedazzled with decorations, it's time to visit family. Do you dread the drive over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house? Keep the kids occupied and satisfied with engaging games like these:
- Here's the classic "I Spy" game, with a twist. Print out Avery White Removable Print or Write Labels with images of what they might see during the drive. Every time your child spots something from their sticker sheet, they can stick the corresponding label on a sheet of paper and count up who had the most sightings at the end of the drive. Possible themes include road signs (no U-turn, Stop, and construction zone), or vehicles (bus, tractor, fire engine).
- The state license plates game. Make colorful labels of the states (Arizona with a cactus, Nebraska with a cornstalk, Florida with an alligator) and have the children peel them off and attach to their clothing each time they spot the coordinating license plate on the road.
- Want to get extra crafty? Construct bingo cards using the designs listed above in rows/columns of 3, 4, or 5 designs. Mix up the layout of the designs for each card, and let the kids see who gets "bingo" first!
Get the most out of holiday cheer this year; corral the kids, gussy up the home and give creative presents, well presented. And most importantly, don't be so hard on yourself. This time comes once a year and you've earned the right to revel in the magic. New holiday traditions might even spring forth from these ideas. Feel free to dream and scheme over a glass of eggnog. And happy holidays from Avery!

It was worth the wait. I came at 1 p.m. in search of a cinnamon bun. An hour too early! I bided my time at Zucker's on 9th Street and returned at 2 p.m., rewarded with a cake stand full of Cinnamon Buns ($4) warm from the oven. Plush and sweet and loosely swirled, with honey and melted brown sugar dripping into every curve and right off the edges. The cinnamon-laced streusel set it off the top, big chunks, small chunks. Crunchy, gooey, and decidedly satisfying. Will be back soon, I've got my eyes on those individual apple pie cups and "gangnam-style" kouign amann.

It was just awesome from beginning to end. The lights, the sound and the band were all faultlessness .They were at the top of their game live. That's why they are my favorite band. Their new stuff was excellent as well. Their musical charisma was immense! Everyone was amazed by energy of the band and the audience collectively.
They played most of their songs from their latest album 'King of Limbs'. There wasn't a single dull moment throughout the concert. When they were on stage they had a good sense of humor and everybody just had fun with it. Everyone screamed hard when Thom started playing R.E.M's 'One I Love' intro on piano before starting 'Everything In It's Right Place'. All in all it was a great concert. I hope they tour us again and soon. They were just out of this world!
Their set list was amazing and I was buzzing for days. They were really true artists and put on an amazing show every time. It's hard to tell what their live performances mean tome. It's just an incredible experience. The venue was exclusively intimate. Thom Yorke was charming on stage and the musicality of the group was stupefying. Must enjoy this!

CONCORD — A 20-year-old Concord man was arrested Wednesday evening after a police chase that ended with him being Tased by police, authorities said.
About 5:30 p.m., officers spotted two suspicious men fueling up a 1967 Mustang at a gas station on Clayton Road and Kirker Pass Road, Lt. Darrell Graham said. Officers ran the plates of the Mustang and found it had been reported stolen out of Martinez.
When officers tried to stop the vehicle, which was then occupied by only the driver, he took off, leading police on a chase with speeds reaching 70 miles per hour, Graham said. The car fled southbound on Farm Bureau Road then westbound on Chestnut Avenue before tearing through El Monte Shopping Center at Chestnut Avenue and Clayton Road.
The driver slammed into a car driving on Clayton Road before spinning into a tree and wrecking the car, Graham said. The suspect got out and ran about 30 feet before officers caught up to him and Tased him, ending the chase.
Officers arrested Taylor Michelson, 20, on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle and evading arrest, Graham said. The driver of the vehicle he hit on Clayton Road was not injured in the crash.
Graham said Michelson had previously been arrested Nov. 4 in Concord when police pursued him driving another stolen car, and was charged by the District Attorney for the offense Nov. 8.
The second person suspected in the incident, who was helping Michelson get gas at the Clayton Road gas station, has not yet been found, Graham said.

text: Blazing into the first round? By Dave Hickman April 24, 2013 Story Share AP Photo WVU's Tavon Austin saw his NFL draft stock skyrocket when he flashed his speed at the NFL Combine two months ago. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - One of the most intriguing names in the NFL draft that begins tonight in New York belongs to a player from West Virginia who rewrote many of the school's offensive records.And no, it's not Geno Smith.Well, yes, Smith is intriguing in his own right. Considered the top available quarterback, he would become the first Mountaineer QB to be drafted in the first round. That is, if he's drafted in tonight's first round. Mock drafts are all over the board regarding his position, ranging from a top-five pick to a slip into the second round.Almost everyone is agreed, though, that Tavon Austin's name will be called in tonight's first round. And that despite being undersized and, as recently as two months ago, considered no better than second- or third-round material.What happened to change that? Well, Austin's performance at the NFL Combine, where he ran a blistering 4.34 40-yard dash."The Combine pretty much changed my whole life,'' Austin said.Throw in the versatility he showed at West Virginia as a receiver, running back and kick returner and NFL teams seem to be intrigued. While most projections have him going in the 10-15 range in the first round, there was significant buzz in Philadelphia this week about new Eagles coach Chip Kelly taking him at No. 4.That could just be buzz or smokescreen - and there's a ton of both regarding every draft - but Austin seems to have generated a lot of interest, despite his 5-foot-8 stature.None of that surprises Dana Holgorsen."That's what college football has been about,'' Holgorsen said, referring to a rapid shift toward open-field playmakers. "And that's what you see the NFL kind of going to a little bit.'' Austin did a little bit of everything at West Virginia. Last season he led the nation in all-purpose yards - 1,289 receiving, 643 rushing and 978 on returns. He was 6 yards short of an all-time NCAA record with 572 all-purpose yards in a game against Oklahoma."He fits the profile,'' Holgorsen said. "He fits the spread offense, dynamic playmaker guy that can also do some return-game stuff. So it's not surprising to me to see him climb the charts. He's the type of kid that the more you're around him, the more time you spend with him the more you fall in love with him and want him on your football team.''Smith, who threw almost all of the 288 passes Austin caught in four years at WVU, certainly sees something in the little receiver."When you talk about playmakers, he's No. 1 in my eyes,'' Smith said Wednesday at an NFL draft event in New York. "The things you see him do on the field are uncanny. You don't see a lot of guys do what he can do every Saturday - or even Sundays.''Playing in the NFL at 5-8 isn't unheard of, but it is rare. Darren Sproles is 5-6 and broke the league record for all-purpose yards in 2011. Trindon Holliday became the first NFL player ever to return a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown in a playoff game, doing it for Denver against Baltimore in January. He's 5-6. So if nothing else, Austin would seem to have a future as a returner. But in order to be taken in the first round he has to have the potential to do more than that. A lot of teams seem to feel he does."Tavon fits a whole bunch of offenses,'' Holgorsen said. "But when you think of the up-tempo offenses, the spread offenses that have infiltrated college football over the last decade, that's the type of guy you think about. You think about a slot guy that is dynamic with the ball in his hands and you can move him around and get him the ball in a variety of ways.''The draft begins with tonight's first round. The second are third rounds are on Friday night and the remaining four rounds are on Saturday. Former WVU wide receiver Stedman Bailey is projected to go in the first half of the draft, but not likely the first round. Several other former Mountaineers could be picked in the later rounds and as many as 10 to 15 all told could find themselves drafted or with free agent contracts after the draft.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.
