Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View : Determination
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @ sariputtadhamma/JTN]
A Pali dictionary shows two Pali words that mean determination: adhi.t.thaana and adhimokha. Adhi.t.thaana is listed as one of the Ten Perfections (Paaramii): Giving(daana), Virtue(siila), Renunciation(nekkhamma), Wisdom(pa~n~naa), Energy(viriya), Patience(khanti), Truthfulness(sacca), Determination(adhi.t.thaana), Lovingkindness(mettaa), Equanimity(upekkhaa).
Another rendition of 'adhimokha' is resolution, the act of resolving. No success in the Dhamma practice can be expected without the determination to develop wholesome qualities (kusala dhamma) and abandon unwholesome things.
"Determination is stated immediately after truthfulness; (a) because truthfulness is perfected by determination, since abstinence (from falsehood) becomes perfect in one whose determination is unshakeable; (b) having first shown non-deception in speech, to show next unshakeable commitment to one's word, for a bodhisattva devoted to truth proceeds to fulfill his vows of giving, etc., without wavering; and (c) to show, right after the veracity of knowledge, the complete accumulation of the requisites of enlightenment (bodhisambhaara); for one who knows things 'as they really are' determines upon the requisites of enlightenment and brings them to completion by refusing to vacillate in the face of their opposites."
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/auth ... .html#fn-2
The Visuddhimagga ( XIV, 151) gives the following definition of determination: "The act of resolving is resolution. It has the characteristic of conviction. Its function is not to grope. It is manifested as decisiveness. Its proximate cause is a thing to be convinced about. It should be regarded as like a boundary-post owing to its immovableness with regard to the object." And the "Paramattha Manjusa", the commentary to the Visuddhimagga, states that the act of resolving should be understood as the act of being convinced about an object.
Ptsm I: 26. Resolution(adhimokkha) as the meaning of the faith faculty is to be directly known.
Ptsm V: 56. When he gives attention as impermanent, his cognizance has great resolution. When he gives attention as painful, his cognizance has great tranquillity. When he gives attention as not-self, his cognizance has great wisdom.
Right Resolve (or Right Intention, samma-sankappa) is the second of the eight path factors in the Noble Eightfold Path, and it belongs to the wisdom division of the path. "... what is right resolve? Being resolved on renunciation, on freedom from ill-will, on harmlessness: This is called right resolve." [SN 45.8]
So it is seen that Determination is extremely important to every earnest Buddhist, not only to a Bodhisattva.
Love Buddha's dhamma,

THIS CAT IS NOT WITH FURREVER FRIENDS. WE ARE LISTING HER AS A COURTESY TO HELP HER FIND A FURREVER HOME. FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR TO ADOPT, PLEASE CONTACT: Avrene at firstname.lastname@example.com or 856-467-3050
There have been many changes in Cosmo's life over the past year. The loss of a feline companion, a new house, a new dog, and 2 new kittens. Poor Cosmo doesn't know what to do about it all, so she hides. Cosmo would really like a new home where she can lay around and be comfortable without any dogs or other cats. Do you have that home?
FOR MORE INFORMATION, OR TO ADOPT, PLEASE CONTACT: Avrene at email@example.com or 856-467-3050
We are a humane no-kill cat rescue that is working to better the lives of cats in Gloucester and Camden Counties. We do not euthanize any of the animals in our care simply to make room for new ones. Although our operation is small, each and every homeless pet in our program receives the absolute best care possible until a furrever home can be found.
We are small... but mighty. Every animal saved is a victory.
Furrever Friends Rescue and Volunteers, Inc. (FFRV) is an all-volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strives to save the lives of homeless animals.
Furrever Friends operates entirely on donations from caring individuals such as yourself. And, because Furrever Friends is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your cash donations are tax-deductible. Checks can be made out to "Furrever Friends."
Our volunteers work hard to:
-Provide safe, loving care in foster homes until a furrever family can be found.
-Spay/neuter and vaccinate pets prior to adoption to help control the pet overpopulation problem.
-Find new Furrever Homes for animals only after carefully screening potential adopters.
-Raise funds through special events and projects to cover veterinary and food costs.
-Fund emergency medical care to injured or abused animals in the FFRV program through "Geronimo's Fund".
-Showcase homeless animals at various venues to help find them homes, including our PetSmart Adoption Center in Deptford, NJ.
Located in the Sam's Club and Walmart Shopping Center next to Rt. 42 in Deptford, NJ
The time it takes to process an application largely depends on the speed at which we are able to contact personal references. If approved, we go over an adoption contract that the adopter will sign, and it is at this time that an adoption fee of $90 is required. If an adoption does not work out for any reason, our adoption contract requires that the kitty be returned to Furrever Friends Rescue and Volunteers, Inc.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Furrever Friends Rescue & Volunteers, Inc. - New Jersey.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

In lieu of partying or whatever it is college kids are supposed to be doing, I decided that my number one priority this spring break would be to to replay Spec Ops: The Line. I joined the Spec Ops party a bit late, but the narrative really struck me in a way that few videogame stories have, and I have been slightly obsessed with it ever since.
So, with Brendan Keogh's 50,000 word analysis Killing is Harmless by my side, I went through it again. And it's even more interesting the second time, with its critique of the player, videogames, and military shooters in particular. If you haven't done that, I highly recommend it.
Ever since I first played Spec Ops, I've wondered whether or not it would influence future games and how it would do so. But since Spec Ops's release, there really haven't been any notable modern military games (Warfighter doesn't count). It turns out that Battlefield 4 will be the first. When I first saw that gameplay had been revealed, I was intrigued. When I read that DICE wanted "players to have a very emotional connection with the story and setting they're presenting," I was ecstatic. In my mind, this meant that the team had played Spec Ops, analyzed Spec Ops, and learned from Spec Ops. The game wouldn't be as soul-crushingly pessimistic (not a bad thing), but it would be a step ahead of the general military game narrative. So I went into the 17-minute long demo of Battlefield 4 excited, with Spec Ops's lessons fresh in my mind.

Nutz and Boltz of Wireless HART
WirelessHART Is Real, Dependable, Scalable, and You Can Use It Now
How WirelessHART works
There are many wireless protocols, but there is only one wireless protocol deliberately built as an extension of an existing wired sensor network protocol and to work with the applications, tools, and people you already have: WirelessHART.
In short, Wireless + HART = WirelessHART.
WirelessHART was designed by the industry experts who created the HART Communication technology, says Ed Ladd, director of technology programs for the HART Communication Foundation, and drawing on the experience of more than 26 million installed HART-enabled field devices, WirelessHART is designed to address the critical demands of industrial plant environments and to complement, work alongside, and extend the capabilities of wired HART.
WirelessHART, says Emersons chief strategic officer, Peter Zornio, removes the limits and unleashes the HART technology in a way that wasnt possible when channeled through conduit.
WirelessHART is also unique in that it provides for an adapter that is not just a wire replacement or a protocol converter, but an intelligent HART-enabled device and powerful system integration tool. This adapter now makes it easier than ever to leverage the intelligence in existing HART devices already installed in your plant. The WirelessHART adapter can be attached to any existing wired HART device, enabling wireless access to the stranded data inside the intelligent HART device. Consequently, the WirelessHART adapter provides a cost-efficient connection for integrating the intelligent capabilities of HART devices into control and asset management systems.
The wireless adapter makes this transition very easy, says Thomas Holmes, CEO of MACTek Corporation. By using the installed device, say a HART 5 device from any supplier, the user can add a wireless adapter allowing HART data from the device to be communicated to the gateway.
Any manufacturers gateway will work.
WirelessHART, like every other portion of the HART 7 specification, is completely backward-compatible with all previous versions of the HART specification, and wireless adapters can be installed on any existing HART device, regardless of protocol version.
The mesh
The main secret to the success of WirelessHART installations is the mesh. Using the global standard IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz radio and channel-hopping technology, WirelessHART installations are flexible, secure, reliable, and simple.
All field devices have the same wireless capabilities, and as the number of devices in the mesh grows, the more secure and reliable it becomes. The more devices in the mesh, the greater the number of pathways exist from any single device to an access point, from an access point to any single device, or from a device to another device.
At the same time, the user experience mimics using wired HART, with the same tools and practices users have become familiar with. The same command structure is also used in WirelessHART, and WirelessHART is compatible with HART-enabled control systems and EDDL.
End users get a state-of-the-art standard wireless infrastructure, says Emersons Zornio, supported by a full set of vendors they know and trust, so they can invest with confidence. At the same, time, Zornio goes on, WirelessHART builds on the experience, knowledge, work practices, and investments end users have made in HART over the last 15+ years.
Every device is a router
The WirelessHART network consists of field devices, adapters, access points, and gateways. Somewhere on the network, either built into a gateway or separately, are the Network Manager and the Security Manager. No devices are network end points, or reduced function devices to be orphaned by changing signal conditions.
Every WirelessHART field device and adapter is also a router. Since every device is a router, the result path diversity. Path diversity means that messages route around obstacles and interference sources regardless of the physical location of the device in the network.
The Network Manager maintains and updates routes. It establishes links between neighboring devices, and it allocates bandwidth. There is a single Network Manager (can be redundant) in a WirelessHART network that can manage multiple gateways and access points. The number of access points needed is determined by the number of devices and average update period, using a simple formula (see HART 7: Installing and Making Systems Work in this issue). Geographic location may also be a factor. The more devices you add, the more access points. Multiple access points per gateway mean redundancy and faster throughput, and even better path diversity.
All communication paths in the mesh network are continuously exercised (primary and redundant). All WirelessHART devices are routing-capable to maximize the number of possible redundant pathways, increase the reliability, and simplify network design.
WirelessHART technologys priority-based routing enhances reliability. Its first priority is to keep the network operational. Second is to deliver the process monitoring and control data. Third, enable management and troubleshooting of the devices. Fourth, deliver the alarms. All alarms are time-stamped and latched. That way alarms are never lost, and the alarm log details in what order the problems occurred.
User deployment and operation is simple. WirelessHART devices are configured using the same tools as wired HART devices. Only the Join Key and Network ID need to be loaded into the device for it to join the network. These items can be loaded by the user or preloaded at the factory, and the device does the rest. The device joins the network and, working with the Network Manager, it embeds itself in the mesh. The Network Manager then continuously grooms the mesh to ensure reliable, low-latency communications as plant conditions change and evolve.

|Each year, over 50 million Americans seek medical attention for musculoskeletal pain. The active lifestyle of the 77 million Baby Boomers contribute to the growth of the number seeking relief. Body Phyx International, Inc. ("BPI") (www.Body Phyxinternational.com) has developed a vertical treatment table that addresses pain reduction and freedom of movement in a revolutionary and non-invasive way. BPI is focused on those patients seeking relief from the pain caused by "active life" conditions and by sports enthusiasts seeking to "tune up" prior to a sports activity. The target end market is the athlete from the "weekend warrior" to the professional, the golfer and the active baby boomer with the pains that compromise performance and limit movement. Over 33.6 million Americans are active in sports and fitness on a "regular" basis and 41.9 million on a "casual" basis. This segment has the desire and means to be the "cash" basis users of the Body Phyx-. BPI is focused on those patients seeking relief from the pain caused by "active life" conditions and by sports enthusiasts seeking to "tune up" prior to a sports activity. The annual U.S. market for non-pharmaceutical pain management devices is 1.5 billion and projected to grow at an 11.4 annually. The US market for Gym and Exercise Equipment to 4 billion annually. BPI will initially target the over 200,000 clinics and sports facilities in the U.S. market, served by the 185,000 physical therapists ("PTs"), 49,000 chiropractors ("DCs") and 250,000 fitness trainers and instructors. Invented and patented by a Physical Therapist, the Body Phyx- incorporates traditional treatment principles. It was developed to address the sources of radiating pain in the peripheral nervous system by effectively moving the body in very specific ways, thus treating neural tension and reducing or eliminating pain. The outcome is "perfect alignment" and nerve gliding reduction in neural tension. The innovation here is that the Body Phyx takes the manual techniques used by specialty trained, highly skilled practitioners and automates them, making these techniques available to all. A prototype of the Body Phyx- was first developed and utilized at CHC Physical Therapy, owned by the Founders. A summary of the outcomes from treatment of patients on the manual device (prepared based on the data recorded in each patients chart) showed greater than a 91 reduction in pain and dramatic improvement in range of motion. This device was also used as a component in the clinics highly successful "Nine Holes of Golf" training program which, based on anecdotal reports, improved golf scores by 3 - 5 strokes. The success with the manual device led to the development of the automated version of the Body Phyx- and execution of an FDA compliant Clinical Trial. After six treatments, every participant in the test group showed reduction in pain levels (averaging 85, ranging from 6 to 100), with 23 of the 47 test group participant reporting total elimination of all pain. The control group utilized traditional treatment and achieved an average pain reduction of 25. Neural tension tests results using the Elveys and Maitland assessment showed that the Body Phyx- treated group equaled or exceeded control group response. In addition to marketing programs to drive referrals from physicians, the Company is developing a series of "Cash" applications for the Body Phyx-, such as a "Golf Tune-up" and "Runner Warm-up" to drive higher value traffic. The potential to create this "Cash" based revenue stream is the Company's major competitive advantage and provides the opportunity to sell into the sports market as well as the professional therapy market.

In October 2011, I reported on a multi-agency clean-up at Glenbrook Gulch in Big River where there was environmental damage due to an illegal marijuana grow.
State Parks had received grants from California Department of Fish and Game and NOAA Fisheries to remove a logging haul road and dam and restore the steelhead and coho salmon run in the watershed. State Parks worked with California Geologic Survey and the California Conservation Corps to restore the habitat for fish. The discovery of the eradicated 10-acre illegal grow, which included four ponds that diverted water from the gulch and pollution from illegal fertilizers, compounded the clean-up project.
State Parks added those 10 acres to the project, and in March of this year, Fishery Biologist Ross Taylor and his assistant, Tom Grey, discovered evidence that salmon have returned. They spotted a fresh redd an area of the river bed that salmon scoop out to make a nest 600 feet upriver from where the dam was removed. It was believed to be a steelhead nest.
On Tuesday Taylor returned to find that the eggs had hatched and there are hundreds of coho fry, baby fish, in Glenbrook Gulch.
"The exciting part is we removed the dam and now the fish can go through," said Ren?e Pasquinelli, senior environmental scientist for State Parks.

Over Fifty In My KingdomRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
There are over fifty members in my family;
Yet none quarrel. We all live merrily.
Four leaders have we, all with a bride;
Each has a son who has great pride.
We also have servants who make funny gestures;
But they are hardly used, as they often pester.
The peasants are at the bottom of the line;
Although they outnumber us, they haven't a right mind.
What are we?

Deputies used a Taser to subdue a fleeing, wanted suspect on Saturday after he tried to run deputies off the road in Pomona, then led them on a chase on the 10 Freeway which ended in a crash in West Covina, authorities said.
Eddie Mendez, 30, of Pomona was arrested following the pursuit, which began about 11:30 a.m., according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials and booking records. He is on felony probation or Post Release Community Supervision under AB 109 of 2011, also known as prison realignment, following drug-related convictions.
At least one civilian car was also run off the roadway during the chase, Lt. Andy Berg of the sheriff's San Dimas Station said. No injuries were reported to deputies or civilians.
Two deputies were driving in a patrol car at Gillette Road and Dudley Street in Pomona when a blue Chevrolet HHR with no license plates exited the parking lot of a nearby motel, sheriff's officials said.
The driver, later identified as Mendez, "looked straight at them and drove toward them as if trying to strike them," Berg said. "He tried to run them off the road."
The deputy driving the patrol car managed to avoid a collision, turned around and began chasing the SUV.
As the fleeing SUV entered the westbound 10 Freeway, it pulled in front of a civilian car, forcing it off the road, Berg said. Officials were also looking into a report that a second civilian vehicle may have been struck by the suspect's SUV during the chase.
Mendez continued weaving in and out of traffic as he sped down the 10 Freeway, Berg said. He soon crashed in West Covina.
"Eventually, in his weaving, he lost control. He hit the center divider near Azusa Avenue," the lieutenant said.
Mendez ran across eastbound traffic lanes and tried, but failed, to climb over a sound wall, Berg said.
Deputies chased after Mendez on foot and caught up with him as he was making a second attempt to scale the wall about 100 yards to the west.
Deputies shocked Mendez with a Taser, which disabled him and allowed them to place him in handcuffs without further struggle, Berg said.
Deputies determined Mendez was wanted on a "no bail" warrant due to a violation of parole or probation, Berg said.
After being examined at a hospital, Mendez was expected to be booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, evading police and hit-and-run, as well as the outstanding warrant.

This is embarrassing, but I have always usually had this problem during meditation. I've been meditating for many years, frequently, intensely and deeply. Often times while sitting in half lotus position--regardless if a pillow is used or not--my right leg will begin to tremble, slightly or severely, and nothing will make it stop unless I relax my breath. But it's not helpful to meditate with a bent back. If my back straightens, my leg almost always begins to tremble, as well as part of my back muscles. Sometimes I spend 10 minutes trying to meditate, with some success, despite the trembling but ultimately I have to give up because you can only go so far with a trembling leg. Yes, I do practice other postures of meditation as well as walking meditation, but sitting meditation is necessary. And sitting with crossed legs is a form of meditation which I really need to be able to do. Sitting on my legs is something I've often done, but usually my body is off balance in that position.
Suggestions. Advice. Help.
Thank you.

This print is from Heather Ross (for Kokka) from the Rabbits and Race-Cars line. It's apparently hard to find (online) as I've looked for a good link to anyone who sells it, but couldn't find one for this exact print. I love the little zippy cars racing around - great for a little boy!
The square Cars & Trucks print is also by Kokka... and the blue dots matched the squares really well... and I also used it for the binding.
Finished size is about 48" square, which I think is rather large for a baby quilt but then again, I have zero experience thus far. I think it would make an excellent play mat though.
Its been sunny here all week, which I think is quite odd for November... so these photos are almost summer-like. I'm sure we'll get a blizzard next week or something to make up for it :-)
Jenny asked me to make a special tag to include Rylan's name, DOB, and arrival stats so I whipped one up with linen tape and a black fabric marker. I wish I had better (aka fancy or unique or fun) handwriting skills but my plain 'ol printing will have to do. Do you like my bootleg editing to blur out a few things for identity protection sake? I kind of enjoyed it, don't know why.
And last but not least, I had to practice my free-motion quilting on something so I grabbed my favorite boyish fabric (Seagulls, by Alexader Henry,) sandwiched it, and quilted away... and I think I'll keep it as a stroller quilt for our son this spring... I particularly enjoy the Neo Geo dots binding. I think it just makes it fun and unusual. Its size is about 18"x 22". My first finished hand-made item to keep for our kid, yay!
How is your weekend going? Ours is defiantly busy, but in a good way. I'm hoping to continue the progress on the Ohio Sky quilt, maybe even get as far as starting to quilt it! We'll see!

RAM shorts for Random-Access Memory, and it is the memory where software resides while it is running, along with the data it is using. Both OS and application software use RAM. RAM is a type of memory that is very fast, but is volatile, meaning all information is lost when electric power is removed. For this reason, it is useful only for temporary storage of data that requires fast access. A device will typically have RAM and some kind non-volatile memory to store a copy of all software and data that needs to be kept the device is powered off or that specific software is not running. Devices with more RAM can run more complex software and/or more applications at one time.
1GB of RAM is commony used for some low end smartphones.
Common RAM examples: 512M, 1GB, 2GB,3GB, 4GB.

Retired Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward doesn't think the time is quite right in the NFL for an active player to follow the lead of the NBA's Jason Collins and come out publicly as gay.
Ward, now an NBC analyst, told NBC Sports Radio a player doing the same in football would face a more difficult situation.
"I don't think football is ready," Ward said, per Pro Football Talk. "There's too many guys in the locker room and, you know, guys play around too much."
As for Ward, he remains optimistic an NFL player will break through the barrier, and if he was still playing, would welcome that in a teammate.
"Hopefully one guy comes out of the closet and (is) comfortable with himself," Ward said. "I don't have anything against a gay football player or a gay person period so if he does, he has support from me. I want people to live their lives for who they are and don't have to hide behind closed doors to do that."

James Gandolfini, the New Jersey-bred actor who delighted audiences as mob boss Tony Soprano in The Sopranos has died following a massive heart attack in Italy, a source told the Daily News.
Everyone is in tears, the source close to the 51-year-old TV tough guy said.
A press-shy celeb who got his start as a character actor and became famous relatively late in his career thanks to his breakout role on The Sopranos, Gandolfini has largely avoided the spotlight since the last season of the beloved show aired in 2007.
The burly Westwood, N.J. native has appeared in several supporting roles since then, playing the director of the CIA in Zero Dark Thirty and the gruff blue-collar father of a wannabe rock star in Not Fade Away last year.
Gandolfini hit Broadway in 2009 with the Tony Award-winning comedy God of Carnage.
I seek out good stories, basically thats it, he told The Star-Ledger last December.
The older I get, the funnier-looking I get, the more comedies Im offered. Im starting to look like a toad, so Ill probably be getting even more soon.
Gandolfinis wife, former model Deborah Lin, gave birth to a baby girl last October. The couple married in Hawaii in 2008.
Gandolfini who spent part of his early career supporting himself as a bartender and nightclub manager also has a son with his ex-wife, Marcy Wudarski.
His first break came in 1992 when he landed a role in a Broadway version of A Streetcar Named Desire that starred Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange.
Smallish parts in major films followed Gandolfini played a submarine crew member in Crimson Tide in 1995 and a gangland bodyguard in Get Shorty the same year.
Fame came for the Italian-American actor after 1999, as The Sopranos garnered critical acclaim and cult popularity on its way to becoming a TV classic.
Gandolfini won three Emmy Awards for his sparkling depiction of protagonist Tony Soprano, a mobster trying to balance the mundane stresses of family life and his unusual occupation: organized crime.

Charles Upham Shepard
June 29, 1804 - May 1, 1886
Charles Shepard, chemist and mineralogist, was born in Tiverton, Rhode Island, the son of Reverend Moses and Deborah Haskins Shepard.
An 1824 graduate of Amherst College, he served as a lecturer on natural history and as an assistant to Professor Benjamin Silliman at Yale University. During the winter of 1832-33 Shepard, under Silliman's direction, investigated the culture of sugar cane and its manufacture in the Southern States. The results of his investigations were incorporated into Silliman's report to the Secretary of the Treasury in 1833.
Shepard held the position of Professor of Chemistry at the South Carolina Medical College (1834-1861) during the winter semester.He also served as a lecturer and professor respectively in chemistry and natural history at Yale University and Amherst College.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, he returned to Amherst College and served as professor of chemistry and natural history with mineralogy as a specialty.
In 1865 Shepard returned to Charleston as professor of chemistry at the Medical College and retired from that position four years later.
Benjamin Silliman, Jr. in American Contributions to Chemistry acknowledged the importance of Charles Shepard's discovery of South Carolina's phosphate deposits (1849):
"No observation or original research…has been fruitful of so much good in its consequences as his discovery…of the deposit of phosphate of lime in the Ecocene marl of South Carolina…its introduction into commerce on a vast scale, and the manufacture of superphosphate fertilizers not alone for this country, but for foreign export, led to the growth in consequence of an important industry in the chemical arts of Charleston."
The Phosphate Industry was crucially important to the economic recovery of the South after the Civil War, a fact that demonstrates the importance of science to commerce.
Shepard's collections of minerals and meteorlites were second only to that of the British Museum and the best in United States. Although the collection was mostly destroyed by fire in 1880, Shepard resumed collecting and bequeathed his collection to Amherst College.

Virginia Mill Works 5/8" x 4-3/4" Cocoa Birch Prefinished Handscraped Solid Flooring - 30 Year Warranty
Colonial American homes were built with wooden floors that were sawn using basic hand-held tools. The hand-crafted workmanship that went into those floors can be found in Virginia Mill Works handscraped floors.
Handscraped & Distressed | Solid and Engineered | Prefinished | Domestic & Exotic | 30 Year Warranty
How'd you get that contoured surface?
Don't forget the molding and stair treads!
Please click here to download Adobe Reader.
Reviewed by 6 customers
same price as carpeting. easy to lay down. dings are covered up easily enough with some dark stain. and its hand-scraped anyhow so it just looks like it came that way.
Handscraped cocoa hardwood floors looks amazing, very modern. It does show the dust, but when kept clean it looks beautiful.
Best Uses
Planks do not fit together tightly. There are gaps that had to be filled with putty. The putty in some of the filled-in areas has sunk, leaving a clear view of the sub-floor. Also edges of planks show up as a light color, so it looks almost like grout lines. Knot holes are rough, and not stained properly. Have to buy putty and stain to fix myself. If I called installers it would take all day to touch up.
Service and delivery comments:
Installers were hard working and polite, were here for 15 hours. I have no fault with them. The problems were with the product, and the fact that they were told it was a glued down wood instead of a nailed down wood. Next time I would buy a simple click and lock floor.
We put this floor in the kitchen, living, foyer, and dining rooms in our house. The handscraped feature and dark color make this floor unique and modern. It really sets off our lighter-colored area rugs. While it doesn't scratch or dent too easily, it does require cleaning more often than a light-colored floor because every crumb that hits the floor is obvious against the dark background.
The quality control needs improvement - in 27 boxes we had problems with the stain not extending all the way to edge on one board, one board's groove and tongue were cut on the opposite sides making it unusable, and four or more boards were slightly narrower than the others, which left gaps once installed. When we knew to look for these defective boards while installing, we just set them aside and the floor went down beautifully without many issues.
Best Uses
We have been waiting a long time to replace our carpet and this wood makes our home feel modern and clean. The different types of light bounce off the floors amazingly. We went with a white trim and it compliments them beautifully. So happy...
looks great in my bedroom

Q:What is the best process for cleaning birch wood floors? (oil-based, water-based, dusting unless absolutely necessary to deep clean?)
1 answer
A:For general cleaning a swiffer type system works best. Not one that sprays the floor however. Lightly damp is fine but never soak or flood mop your floor. Do not use steam mops. Have a no shoes policy as much as possible. Use felt pads on all furniture. Sweep often.
Q:What is the length of the product?
1 answer
A:This is a random length wood product that comes 1' to 3.5' in length, the average length is about 2'.
Q:Could this be used in a commercial type office application? How would you compare the wear and tear of this product to an AC4 grade laminate?
1 answer
A:This flooring has it's good points for your application one of which is a very durable finish, however because it's handscraped, future refinishing would be difficult, In addition the uneven surface would be a problem with office chairs (soft urethane chair casters are recommended for any hardwood flooring). A Bellawood floor, light to medium in color and harder than red oak can work very well. Laminate flooring is good if you can get AC 4 but they can never be refinished if damaged.
Q:I'm planning to use the nail-down approach to install the hardwood floor on the second floor of my house. However, the moisture level of the plywood subfloor is 11% while the hardwood is 6%. Is the difference of 5% too high for the installation? It seems so according to the Warranty Statement. If so, will a moisture barrier, such as the 6mil poly sheeting help?
1 answer
A:Yes it is too high, for this wider board it needs to be within 2% difference.
Q:What is the best way to install wood flooring over a concrete floor with radient heating?
1 answer
A:When looking for solid flooring over radiant heat installations it's important to look for wood with a high stability rating or engineered flooring. Radiant heated flooring can expand and contract more than usual. This floor is Birch which is a poor performer because of a low stability rating. For details about what to look for with radiant heat installs type, "Radiant" here - http://www.lumberliquidators.com/custserv/aboutus.jsp?pageName=Flooring101
Q:can be install on ceramic tile
1 answer
A:Yes it could be installed as a floating floor using our Elastilon product.
Q:Had this floor installed on concrete using the sealing glue recommended by Lumber Liquidators. What is the best method for cleaning dried glue residue? I'm concerned with using harsh chemicals as I don't want to harm the finish.
1 answer
A:Please note this is ONLY a helpful recommendation that is not guaranteed to work (but who worth a try!!!)
Q:How would you install this flooring on concrete.
1 answer
A:There are 3 ways to install this product over concrete. One is to glue it down over the slab. The second is to install a floating plywood subfloor system. The third is to use our Elastilon underlayment.
Q:Can this be nailed or can it just float? THis is going on a second story and I planed on putting down 1/4 inch luan over the existing floor to give me a smoother surface.
1 answer
A:The Virginia Mill Works Cocoa Birch can only be installed as a nail down or glue down application. To float this product you would need to use the Elastilon underlayment. It is not recommended to nail over Luan board, instead use a 1/4" plywood or just level the orginial plywood or OSB subfloor. The floor should not be nailed into particle board. For installation instructions click on the link below.
Q:Is this an engineered wood product?
1 answer
A:This is a solid floor.

How much sleep is not enough for 8 month old?
Our sweet little 8 month old girl sleeps 9-12 hours a day. Not straight, but 8-1, 2-5:30, and if she naps at all, which often she does not, it is one 2 hour nap, or two 30 minute naps, adding no more than 2 hours to her night sleep. This owrries me because she is clearly more tired (as are we) than she ought to be.
Despite our best efforts, we still have no schedule. Some days she will go to sleep for a nap, other days, she just simply refuses. Most days she does not object to our effort, she simply looks at us and grins sleeplessly for the entire hour we spend trying to get her to sleep. I kept a sleep log of her activity once and was shocked to find she was only sleeping 9-12 hours a day. Twelve is a very, very good day, and not often.
We have tried every single formula on the market, from soy to organic, both lactoce and lactose free, sensitive and with and without DHA/RHA hoping to find something that would explain a food allergy or sensitivity to formula ingredients. We see very little variance in her reaction, with the one exception being Similac Sensitive, which seems to cause her to be much, much worse. I thought it might be the corn syrup, and switched to organic, with not much difference. I make all of my own baby food from organic vegetables, and she does not get additives or spices, and does not drink juice.
We have also: - established a nighttime ritual, both with and without warm baths; - honor room darkening during what is supposed to be sleep time; - engage in quiet activity, and both bottles and not-bottles at "bedtime" and before "nap time;" - tried both letting her fuss it out, and rocking her to sleep. She dislikes both. Her preference is to lie in the bed prone to me, curled into me, to fall asleep; - scheduling her, and letting her dictate her schedule, with no variance between the two; - car rides, dryer vibrations, seats, swings, swaddling, white noise, and an endless host of other suggestions by well-intentioned observers. None of these are successful in lulling her into slumber if she is not interested in sleeping, and if she does submit, any disturbance (turning the car off, moving the seat or her, adjusting her blanket) wakes her again. I have even tried sleeping in the car in my driveway after a ride home!
I would appreciate any advice you can offer as to what else causes sleep problems in infants outside of the normal sleep spectrum. All of us are dreadfully in need of sleep. The circles under her eyes have begun to match my own, and I am worried a lack of sleep may start to hinder her development. She already seems as though she is a little behind her peers, and even her older sister and cousins, developmentally, though by no means delayed. We are just simply so exhausted.
Thank you!!
The answer has several points:
1. The amount of daily sleep of 9 month old infants reported by their parents varies widely with 96% of infants sleeping between 10.5 to 17 hours based on a recent publication. In addition most 9-month-olds nap during the day with a total duration of the naps totaling between 20 minutes to 5 hours in 96% of children. So the variability in what may be normal is quite large at this age. More concerning is that your daughter seems tired and may be a "little behind" peers.
Generally, the causes of "not sleeping" in infancy fall within 2 broad categories medical and behavioral with some occasional overlap. Medical causes for insomnia/"not sleeping" include problems like gastroesophageal reflux, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, or a family history of restless leg syndrome or family members with short sleep (typically requiring < 5 hrs. of sleep/day).
Behavioral causes of insomnia/"not sleeping" in infants fall into 2 broad types:
1. Sleep association type disorder
2. Limit setting type disorder
1. Sleep association type most commonly occurs when the infant only falls asleep under a specific set of conditions (like contact with mother). Unless this condition occurs the infant will not sleep easily and complain excessively.
Sleep associations are learned behaviors. So new sleep onset associations can be learned but it takes time and training. It is generally advised that a new sleep association not involve parental presence.
From what you describe your child "likes to snuggle with you" before falling asleep. This suggests a possible sleep association disorder. Limit setting type disorder generally occurs in older children.
I would suggest that you talk with your child's doctor to determine that there are no intrinsic medical reasons for your child's sleeping difficulty. If there are none, then would suggest proceed with a behavioral treatment plan outlined by your physician if it appears that a sleep association type disorder may be present.
A helpful reference book for learning more about insomnia in infants and sleep association disorder is Solve your child's sleep problems by Dr. Richard Ferber, which is available in most public libraries.

Desmond delivers best game of young season
WASHINGTON -- Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond had his best game of the season Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two doubles and a triple in a 5-2 victory against the White Sox. He saw his batting average climb from .222 from to .290.
Desmond said his success at the plate was a result of right-hander Jordan Zimmermann pitching quickly in his seven innings on the mound.
"It's starts with Jordan and he was working quickly, getting quick outs, getting us back in the dugout," Desmond said. "The other guys around here were hitting, too. It wasn't like I was the only one. Hitting the barrel is contagious."
Desmond also admired the work of left fielder Bryce Harper, who went 2-for-4, including his fourth home run of the season.
"He plays with tremendous energy," Desmond said. "He is definitely an electric ballplayer. Having him in D.C. is going to be great for the city. He is definitely entertaining, that's for sure."

Please select a Tire Size to check availability, or to add this item to your Shopping Cart or Wish List.
3D Ultra Supersport is a soft-compound version of 3D Ultra Sport for road and track, offering excellent grip under hard braking and acceleration.
All versions of 3D Ultra offer advanced features. 3D Sipes are cut into the tread of the tyres and these feature interlocking, three-dimensional points which improve stability and grip, limiting tread flex and allowing the tire to warm-up in less time. A new design of wind-on-belt material is used in the construction of the rear tires, which helps to increase the footprint size at all lean angles, improving grip. Triple Extrusion or 'TE' tread compound places durable rubber in the center of the tire to give good mileage and softer compound on the shoulders of the tire producing increased grip where you need it most – in the corners. A third compound below binds both together and helps keep the tire cooler, so it lasts longer.

I feel so bad for the child and family involved. I don't know how they will ever be able to trust another caretaker. It's makes me feel blessed that mine are older and that I'm not faced with having to hire child care for them when these children are not old enough to speak.
This child has a right to whatever care her family decides is appropriate, including psychological and/or psychiatric care, and while I'm not someone that loves to see lawsuits flying around, in this case I support it because they are making sure to preserve their daughter's rights, present and future, when she obviously can't do it herself.
To the family, please know your community supports you. There is no room for this abuse here and we support your desire for justice for your baby girl. Some moron will come on here and say otherwise, but generally it's just an attention seeker looking for a reaction. We are a community of families and children and I can say I am personally thankful to you got coming forward and demanding action. You have saved other children abuse in doing so.

What about the other children that were in the room when this incident happened. Whether it was a joke or harmless in people's eyes, how does this affect the children that witnessed this behavior from an adult?

DANI King is hoping to compete in the Women's Tour of Britain on many more occasions – but her main focus remains the track.
The 23-year-old from Hamble helped her Wiggle Honda team to fourth place during the inaugural road race.
She believes the five-stage event is here to stay.
"It was an amazing five days; the support on the roads was incredible, thousands came out to watch us even when the weather was awful and the excellent coverage on ITV4 made it a real step forward for women's cycling," said King, who finished 26th of a field of 90 and helped team leader Giorgia Bronzini to fourth overall.
"I was really pleased with my performance," continued King, main picture, who was one of 75 to finish the race.
"Giorgia's a two-time road race world champion so I was racing purely for her which meant doing a lot of work out on the roads.
"But I was really happy with the shape I was in and I finished in the front group every day, so my team was really happy with me.
Annual event "I don't see why this can't be an annual event now, the biggest road race for women in the UCI calendar with the same coverage we got this year.
"I really enjoy riding on the road, racing for someone else and getting satisfaction when they finish a race off.
"A lot of my racing on the track, although it is a team event, is done for myself so it's a breath of fresh air to go away with the girls and do some road racing, because it's not as pressurised or as intense."
Dani is also hoping to impress on the road on May 25, when she will be defending her Milk Race crown in Nottingham and at British Cycling's National Road and Time-Trial Championships in Monmouthshire, Wales from June 26-29.
But the Commonwealth Games, which are due to be held in Glasgow from July 23-August 3, is her main event of the summer.
"My focus is on the track and will be until Rio 2016," said King, a three-time world champion and London 2012 gold medallist in the Team Pursuit.
"Hopefully I'll be selected for the Commonwealths. Unfortunately there's no Team Pursuit for the women which is really disappointing but hopefully I'll ride in other track events, including the Individual Pursuit and potentially the Road Race as well."
Dani, an ambassador for Hampshire County Council, was speaking at a London 2012 legacy event at Royal Victoria Country Park, Netley, where she encouraged Year 10 and 7 pupils from Hamble College, Toynbee School and Thornden School to cycle.

White Bump on Inside of Lower Lip Tissue
I felt a bump on my inside lower lip a week ago. I used a needle to pierce it & it just bled.Now there is a painless white pimple the size of an eraser head. SO scared. Please tell me what you think this is. Thank you
What you describe most likely represents a common, benign problem called mucocele (or mucus extravasation phenomenon). The bump represents mucus (saliva, spit) that has spilled under the surface of the skin of the lip. The saliva is produced by small salivary glands found here and usually comes up and into the mouth through a little hose-like channel called a duct. When this duct gets damaged, the saliva leaks out and a bump gradually forms. When you used the needle, you released some of the spill, but the damaged duct is still damaged and the bump may get bigger.To be sure about this, I recommend you see your dentist or a dental specialist called an oral surgeon (oral and maxillofacial surgeon). In most cases, a minor surgery will be needed to remove the spill. But this usually leads to complete resolution of the problem. Good luck!

Federal Project No. ARRA-STP-M-9409(149)
State PIN# 112669.00
City Project # PW01206
The City of Memphis, through a Federal Surface Transportation Program Grant totaling $3,170,300, proposes to perform preventative maintenance and asphalt overlay on several roadway segments. This project is 100% Federally funded. The proposed segments totaling approximately 5.32 miles in length are:
The proposed roadway segments may have signs of excessive wear such as potholes and pavement surface cracking and spalling. Vehicle use, weathering, aging and in some cases utility cuts/repairs in the pavement are contributing factors to the deterioration. A new pavement surface with the absence of pavement deformations will prolong the life of the roadway, reduce potential vehicular damage and provide safer routes for motorists.
Base and subgrade repairs will be made as necessary prior to resurfacing and any pavement markings will be replaced. Improvements to facilities for pedestrians and bicyclist will be included. Special emphasis will be placed on bike facilities identified in the Memphis MPO (metropolitan planning organization) Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, Bicycle Facilities Funded Plan.
(MPO) Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
Bicycle facility improvements may include establishment of bike lanes, restriping to maximize the width of outside lanes, designation of shared laneage and/or placement of bike route signage.
Low cost safety improvements such as improved traveled way delineation, removal of roadside obstacles, improved signage, upgrading of guardrail terminals, installation / upgrading of ADA ramps, etc. will be evaluated and included if feasible.
The City is committed to making as many of the improvements as possible under State and Federal guidelines for the grant to the extent that the funding allows.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver has run out of excuses like a Tesla out of charge.
After his arrest Friday in San Jose on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and carrying brass knuckles, not even his publicists can save him. They may not want to.
I'd be surprised if Culliver stays with the 49ers. He's neither good enough a player nor sympathetic enough a human being to be forgiven his latest escapade. But because he came to our attention in an unusual way — his anti-gay phobia — it's worth holding up his story as a mirror for the rest of us.
Let me suggest there are four lessons, or maybe three lessons and a question, that we can draw out of the sorry affair that began with a bicyclist struck at Seventh Street and Tully Road. Most of them deal with the piercing of our own assumptions.
A) Don't be surprised that a quotient of fools continues to inhabit pro sports. We pay young football players millions to engage in organized mayhem, cheering when they shade a receiver without drawing a penalty. Yes, we hope they understand the difference between reality and a game. But even for a second-rate player, the sudden shower of money creates an aura of invincibility — and sometimes, brass knuckles follow.
B) Be wary of the redemptive story. The whole reason Chris Culliver is big news is he made a homophobic remark before last year's Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens. After that, his publicists had him apologize to gay groups and promote his work opposing dog fighting. Nothing has more power than the story of a reformed sinner. We all want to believe the bigot has seen the light. But the truth is it's often done to preserve a career. We should hold the ovation until a few years go by.
C) The quality of the player matters. To savvy fans, this will come as a "duh" moment. It's still worth pointing out that Culliver, a third-round draft pick who sat out last year with a severe knee injury, is not star linebacker Aldon Smith, who was released from jail expeditiously by Sheriff Laurie Smith's department after a DUI arrest and later invited to her fundraising picnic. It's not that the justice system will necessarily go easier on Smith than Culliver. But a star gets more vocal defense, more chances at reform, more support from fans. It's harder for a team to give him a pink slip.
D) The witness should not be forgotten. This falls in the "question" category. San Jose police say a Mustang driven by Culliver struck a bicyclist, who was not injured seriously. Then the Mustang, which had dealer's plates, scraped a witness's vehicle. The witness reportedly followed and cornered Culliver on a nearby street, where the football player was arrested.
Police say they want people to be good witnesses, to follow carefully if they have to, and not to get involved in captures. The witness here arguably went beyond that. And yet, if cops are right, he helped unmask a troubled player and driver.
While you can understand the victim's anger, I worry about the next guy who tries to follow a hit-and-run driver. The brass knuckles may not stay unused.

I got to give JR a lot thanks for helping me with my form. It's sometimes hard to understand what he is saying, but it's all typically spot on. I agree the pre-swing helps maintain balance and finding the hit as well as clearing the body into the backswing and rhythm. Not sure I totally agree about pre-swing reducing accuracy because mine went up when I began incorporating it, although I also began to hit it. I tend to lose the hit and accuracy without the pre-swing. I equate the pre-swing to addressing the golf ball, it helps give you a destination to hit through.
This vid is actually maybe the best for understanding reachback and weightshift. Dion briefly talks about it in his distance vid shifting to the heel. The weight shift in the downswing happens from behind you and its only about 1" long. Most players try to shift their weight from in front and doing all the things Shawn Clement says in the vid below.
Going back to JR talking about the Brinster hop. I believe the Brinster hop is equivalent to Hogan's power move and centripetal pump. The second vid he talks about having a great access to hit through the ball...this is how I think of the power pocket. Brinster pivots/clears his body into the backswing and glides front foot/leg forward all while in the air/being weightless, and then uses the centripetal pump for serious rotational speed. You can still see the centripetal pump in all the top guys, its just magnified with Steve.

U.S. soybean futures climbed to a six-week high on Wednesday with prices underpinned by fears of a drought in major exporter Argentina and new sales to top buyer China.
Corn futures also rose on concerns about crop losses in Argentina, while unfavorable dryness in the U.S. Plains boosted wheat futures.
"The biggest thing is the uncertainty of the South American weather," said Dax Wedemeyer, broker for U.S. Commodities. He said that forecasts show "that things might be trending just a slight bit drier in some areas."
Chicago Board of Trade March soybeans rose 1.8 percent to $14.77-3/4 a bushel by 10:00 a.m. CST (1600 GMT). March wheat rose 0.8 percent to $7.83-1/4 a bushel, while March corn jumped 0.9 percent to $7.36 a bushel.
The global soybean market is counting on huge South American soybean crops in early 2013 to relieve tight world supplies after a drought in the United States in 2012.
Argentina, the world's No. 3 exporter of soybeans after the United States and Brazil, is expected to have a record harvest this season. But crop forecasts depend on February being a lot wetter than January.
Crop forecaster Lanworth on Wednesday lowered its forecast for corn and soybean production in Argentina due to dryness.
German analysts Oil World on Tuesday warned that delays or weather damage to harvests in Argentina and Brazil could push soybean futures up sharply in coming weeks.
Victor Thianpiriya, an agricultural strategist at ANZ, said the market "is getting concerned as supplies of grains and oilseeds are pretty tight,"
Persistent dryness across the U.S. Plains helped support wheat. Conditions for the winter wheat crop worsened in January as the drought in that major production region showed no signs of ending, according to reports by the U.S. Agriculture Department's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Strong demand from China is keeping pressure on global soy supplies. Private exporters struck deals to sell 175,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans to China for delivery in the next marketing year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Wednesday.
It was the second sale this week to China that called for delivery during the 2013/14 marketing year, which opens on Sept 1. On Monday, exporters reported the sale of 220,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans to China for 2013/14 delivery.
The Brazil harvest may not be as large as expected due to heavy rainfall during the past two weeks and drought in frontier agriculture areas of the northeast, according to El Tejar Ltd, the world's largest grain producer.
The farm giant's commercial director for Brazil, Ivan Konig, said in an interview that he expects a harvest of 80 million to 81 million tonnes, undercutting the Brazilian government's official view of 82.7 million tonnes.

The School of American Ballet Announces 2013 WINTER BALL, 3/11
The School of American Ballet announces the 2013 Winter Ball: A Night in the Far East at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater on Monday, March 11, 2013, sponsored by legendary French Maison Van Cleef & Arpels. Cocktails begin at 7pm and dinner will commence at 8pm, followed by The Encore dessert and dancing at 9pm. Attire is black tie. To purchase tickets, a table, or for more information, please contact Natalie Schweizer at firstname.lastname@example.com or (212) 769-6610.
This glamorous annual dinner dance is attended by 500 patrons, including the School's board members and alumni as well as leaders from the New York corporate and social communities.
A highlight of the evening includes a one-time-only performance by the advanced students of The School of American Ballet choreographed by Silas Farley, who was selected this year by Peter Martins, Artistic Chairman of The School of American Ballet.
"Having observed Silas' contribution to two fall SAB choreographic workshops, he struck me as impressive," said MR. Martins. "And of course, his commitment and enthusiasm for the School is well known."
The décor of the 2013 Winter Ball will evoke the colors and ornaments of the Baron Alexis de Redé's 1969 Le Bal Oriental, held at the Hotel Lambert in Paris. On March 11, 2013, SAB will transform the promenade with splendid décor, music and a singular performance; Van Cleef & Arpels will further evoke the ambiance of the Far East with a vivid tableaux vivant featuring pieces from the Van Cleef & Arpels collection.
For the sixth consecutive year, Van Cleef & Arpels is the lead corporate sponsor of the gala, with Corporate Chair Nicolas Luchsinger. This momentous occasion salutes the storied friendship between SAB's founder George Balanchine and Van Cleef & Arpels founder Claude Arpels.
The Encore is the Winter Ball after-party. Following dinner, 200 of the city's most sophisticated philanthropic young professionals join the Winter Ball for dancing and dessert. Dinner tickets
include admission to The Encore and after-party-only tickets are also available.
The event is headed by Honorary Chairs Coco Kopelman, Elizabeth R. Miller, Liz Peek, and Betsy Pitts; Event Chairs Diana DiMenna, Julia Koch, Jenny Paulson, and Laura Zeckendorf; and Young Patron Chairs Amanda Brotman, Brie Bythewood, Ann-Marie MacFarlane, and William Yang. Proceeds from the Winter Ball enable SAB to award scholarships, maintain world-class studios and residence halls, and offer vital student programs beyond the ballet studio.

Yoenis homers before leaving with upset stomach
OAKLAND - It was just two innings after A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes hit his seventh home run of the season when he was forced to exit the game against the Rangers because of an upset stomach.
After the game, a 5-1 A's win, manager Bob Melvin said the team did not believe Cespedes had been hit by a virus, noting, "They think he should be in good shape to play tomorrow."
Cespedes ran out to center field to warm up for the fifth inning but ran back to the dugout before the frame began. Melvin moved right fielder Brandon Moss to center in Cespedes' place and inserted Michael Taylor into right field.
Cespedes' third-inning home run off Rangers righty Justin Grimm followed a 1-for-20 slump.

I'm confused.
What is it actually that people want? Is it more risk taking? Is it a perception of "going after the stars"?
Is it simply a championship?
There are a whole host of strategies that will get a team to a championship. You can complain about a lot, but you can't complain about a "lack of strategy" from the FO. They have a clear one. It's not clear to me, at least, that many teams have been able to collect our specific set of attributes and apply this type of strategy. For example, many people think our team's outcome will be similar to Atlanta. but the Hawks clearly lacked the chemistry that our kids have. Trailblazers got seriously bit by the injury bug, etc.
Isn't the journey and the process part of the fun of it all?
There's a lot of chemistry, youth, and talent on this team that simply hasn't played itself out.
Hopefully, our players have more mental fortitude to believe in their own success than most of the denizens on the forum lately. It's as if they shouldn't even bother?
Are you all just bored and playing mental gymnastics in the offseason?
You all are announcing our team's death, when it's just becoming a teenager?

In a Time of Big Threes and Super Teams, Pacers Prove Contenders Can Still Be Built
COMMENTARY | The Indiana Pacers are not your conventional NBA team.
In an age where acquiring a "big three" is considered an accomplishment, the Pacers have assembled a starting five with an incredible chemistry. And, quite honestly, Indiana might just be the best thing to ever happen to the NBA.
The downfall of the association began with LeBron James' departure from Cleveland in favor of Miami. The formation of the first "big three," Miami had managed to keep guard Dwyane Wade and sign both James and forward Chris Bosh.
Then it was the Los Angeles Lakers making their attempts, signing point guard Steve Nash and acquiring center Dwight Howard in an experiment that ended up backfiring on the Lakers. Following Miami and Los Angeles' lead, the Brooklyn Nets took their chance, acquiring forwards Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to complement point guard Derron Williams and guard Joe Johnson.
And after reaching one NBA Finals in 2011 and the winning in both 2012 and 2013, it appeared the NBA was headed into a "market battle." The teams in the smaller markets were going to suffer because of the money and lifestyle, along with supporting cast, that big cities could offer.
Interest in the league seemed to be lacking.
Cue the Indiana Pacers.
Team president Larry Bird has constructed a young team over the last six years that is in serious contention to knock off the defending champions and claim the NBA title for the first time in franchise history.
In a league where flashy offensive is coveted, Indiana is a defensive powerhouse. In a day where players want to follow the money to big-market destinations, Paul George signed a five-year max contract to remain in Indianapolis. And in a time where teams are trying to lure the big name free agents, Indiana has quietly built a contender with skill players.
But don't take my word for it--let the stats speak for themselves. Through 31 games, Indiana ranks first in the league in all of the following categories: points allowed (89.2), opponent field-goal percentage (41.2%), opponent three-point percentage (32.4%), and point differential (+8.9).
But it's not ONLY defense that is getting it done for Indiana. Arguably the most balanced attack in the NBA, the Pacers are winning with almost a different leading scorer every night. That is, however, with the exception of Paul George's seventh-ranked 23.5 points per game.
When looking for your next NBA champion, look no further than Indianapolis. And whether NBA commissioner David Stern and his successor Adam Silver want to admit it or not, the NBA will never reach the level of popularity that the NFL has achieved without providing what the NFL provides--parity.
The Indiana Pacers are threatening to do just that--level the playing field. And it's exactly what the NBA needed.

All evaluations of courses for transfer credit are subject to current policies and procedures that are in effect at the time the official evaluation is completed.
