The Wizard of Oz (1939)
7 pictures
Directed by: Victor Fleming
Starring: Bert Lahr, Billie Burke, Frank Morgan, Jack Haley, Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger
Continuity mistake: During the sequence where Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, Dorothy's pigtails are first short (above her shoulders) and as the song progresses her hair gets longer (below her shoulders), then short, and then long again.
Revealing mistake: When the Lion is pulling up the Tin Man with his tail on the way to the castle, you can see a square block inside the Lion's costume to hold the tail on.
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Dorothy and Scarecrow are fighting with the trees, Scarecrow says "I'll show you how to get apples" and he gets hit by the apples. The very next scene if you quickly look at Dorothy's shoes, you can see that she is wearing black shoes, not her ruby slippers.
Continuity mistake: When trying to escape the Witch's castle, the big doors close, and the gang stands in a line and starts banging on the doors. Between shots Dorothy and the Tin-man switch sides.
Continuity mistake: When the Witch melts, the broom is laying several inches from her dress. In the next shot, the broom is practically touching her dress.
Revealing mistake: When the guard tells Dorothy that she may not see the Wizard, Dorothy starts crying and tells a sob story about Auntie Em. Then, it shows the guard crying, but the tears aren't coming from his eyes. They're coming from above his eyebrows.
Continuity mistake: There are two actresses playing Dorothy (and two dogs playing Toto) as she opens the door to Oz. The first is a stand-in wearing a dull colored dress in order to make it look black and white. After she opens the door and moves out of the way, Judy Garland is who we actually see walking through. Look at the different pleats on the two dresses.

This is a little pedantic, but I really do wish John McCain would stop referring to the current financial crisis as a "fiscal crisis." They're similar words, but different things. A financial crisis is a crisis in the financial system. A fiscal crisis would be a crisis in the federal budget — like if the deficit got so big that it caused a crisis. The terminological mixup is not, on its own terms, a big deal. But it seems like the kind of thing someone who'd been studying the problem wouldn't do.

Summer Dinner on the Grill
Here's a simple, seasonal and affordable menu from celeb chef Susannah Locketti to kick off your weekend in style!
Susannah Locketti: I love the relaxed atmosphere associated with grilling outdoors over an open flame. The smell of charcoal and wood smoke in the neighborhood around dinnertime is the best!
Here is a super-easy menu anyone can pull off. I'm working with simple, seasonal ingredients to keep the costs down, but adding some spice to keep the flavor high!
Spicy Beef or Pork Rub
This is an easy rub to whip up with leftover spices. If you are missing one or two, just double up on the spices you do have. Dry rubs are a great way to add flavor without the fat!
3 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Combine all ingredients and sprinkle some over beef or pork. Refrigerate for at least an hour, then grill 'em up! This rub is also good to sprinkle lightly over grilled corn on the cob.
Grilled Vidalia Onions and Asparagus
Onions go great with anything on the grill. The natural sugar in onions is heightened with heat and makes for a tasty little side dish. Asparagus also tastes delicious on the grill. Be sure to place the asparagus on the grill when the onions have just a few more minutes to cook.
4 Vidalia onions, quartered
16 spears asparagus, trimmed
1⁄4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
Balsamic vinegar
Drizzle the onions and asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the onions first, rotating them as they brown up. Place the asparagus on the grill to cook during the last three minutes of grilling. Just before removing, drizzle the onions and asparagus with balsamic vinegar and grill for just a minute longer to caramelize the sugar. Serve on a platter with an additional drizzle of oil and vinegar and a sprinkle of kosher salt.
Grilled Cornbread and Peaches
Homemade or store-bought cornbread, sliced
4 peaches, halved, with pits removed
Olive oil
Brown sugar
Whipped cream or ice cream and mint
Drizzle the cornbread slices and peach halves with olive oil. Season with salt and place the peaches flesh-side-down on the grill. Turn when the peaches brown and soften. While the skin side is grilling, add the cornbread to the grill and sprinkle the peaches with some brown sugar. Serve the peaches over the cornbread with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream and a sprig of mint. So simple, yet so good!

Menard Wins Second Super Late Feature
Posted under Race Reports by Chris Budzban on June 15th, 2004
By Mary Langreck
June 15, 2004; Marshfield, WI: – A crowd of over 1,000 people came out for the Annual MACCI Business After 5 race. NASCAR driver Scott Wimmer was on hand to sign autographs for all the fans and Marshfield Chamber members. Charlie Menard came to race and set fast time in the Super Lates. Keith Wirtz was the 4-Cylinder fast timer and Cody Meyer picked up his second fast time in the 1-Man Cruisers.
Pete Kempf took the early lead from his pole position start of the CARQUEST Super Late Model feature. Jim Sauter Jr. moved up right behind, but Charlie Menard wasted no time getting to the front and passed Sauter for second on lap eight. Menard then began pressuring Kempf for the lead. By lap 12, Menard was the new leader, Kempf second, Sauter third, Eugene Gregorich Jr. fourth and Rory Melbinger fifth.
Just as Menard was about to complete lap 14, Kempf spun in turn four and Sauter and Melbinger with nowhere to go slammed into him. All drivers were okay, however Kempf and Sauter's machines were too badly damaged to continue. Melbinger came back for three laps but was then forced to pit due to damage from the wreck also. On the restart, Menard lost the lead to Gregorich, and fell back to fifth. Menard was not about to give up though. Menard passed Brian Back for fourth the next lap.
The caution flew the second time for the spun car of Kyle Davis. When the race resumed, Gregorich continued to lead with Dean LaPointe second, Jeff Weinfurter third, Menard fourth and Back fifth. Lap 18, Menard passed Weinfurter for third and the next lap he passed LaPointe for second. Menard then began challenging Gregorich on the outside for the lead. As the two drove into turn one there was contact and Gregorich and Menard spun. Gregorich was unable to continue, but took the blame for the incident allowing Menard to keep his spot at the front of the field.
Menard held the lead on lap 22, LaPointe second, Weinfurter third, Back fourth and Ben Pettis fifth. As the lead took the white flag, LaPointe and Pettis had contact that sent both of them hard into the turn four wall. Both drivers were okay and the race was scored complete as the leader had received the white flag. Menard won, Weinfurter second, Back third, Mark Eswein fourth and Kirby Kurth fifth.
Two cautions plagued the start of the 4-Cylinder feature. The first caution was for an improper start and not all the drivers slowed down for the caution and there was a wreck that put both Steve Hauser and Jeremiah Strauss in the pits. Rob Barthen led the first three laps. Lap three, the caution flew the second time as Jason Bell and Dale Louze's machines left the track on the backstretch. Louze's car rolled onto its top. Both drivers were okay, Bell was not able to continue.
Paul Berg was also involved in the incident, both he and Louze restarted at the rear. Fast timer Keith Wirtz then took the lead, Kevin Eckes ran hard in second, but was unable to get ahead of Wirtz. JJ Flick raced third, George Brandl fourth and Berg making an amazing recovery was back up to fifth. Lap seven, Berg passed Brandl for fourth but couldn't catch up to Flick for third. Wirtz won, Eckes second, Flick third, Berg fourth and Brandl fifth.
Matt Cournoyer led the first four laps of the 1-Man Cruiser feature. Pat Dickman then took over for the win. Dave Knauf finished second, Cournoyer third, Larry Larsh fourth and Steve Erdman fifth.
This Saturday's racing is sponsored by Thomas Electric Service, Earth Inc., and WDLB/WOSQ. It's the first of two Wisconsin Challenge Series races here at Marshfield, featuring a 75 lap Super Late Model feature, CARQUEST Super Stocks, Motorcycles and 2-Man Cruisers. Pit Gate opens at 2 p.m., Practice starts at 4 p.m., Grandstand Gates 5 p.m., Time Trials 6 p.m. and Racing 7:30. Saturday's race is raindated for Sunday Same Times.

The district attorney for Catawba County is facing a civil lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and defamation.
Whitney Nicole Shaffer alleges that her boss, James C. Gaither made unwanted advances and harassed her while she was employed as an Assistant District Attorney serving Burke, Caldwell and Catawba counties.
Gaither has responded to the allegations by issuing a statement that read in part:
"While I am human and I make mistakes, I own up to the mistakes I make. This is not one of those occasions. Her claim of sexual harassment is unfounded and false..."
Read his full statement here.
What the complaint says:
According to court documents, Shaffer worked out of the Hickory office and it was at that location where Gaither would make unannounced visits and engage in inappropriate conversations.
The complaint details a number of conversations between Gaither and Shaffer. Shaffer alleges that he tried to control her behavior outside of work and regularly insinuated that he was "a very powerful man and was not afraid to use his power in favor of those who supported him and against those that crossed him."
In the complaint, Shaffer said Gaither asked her for her phone number and she gave it to him, believing it would be used for work-related communication. Instead, she complains that he would call and text her with inappropriate comments. You can read the full text messages here.
One particular evening, April 25, 2013, Gaither allegedly asked Shaffer to dinner so they could talk without being overheard. Shaffer said she felt that her job was in jeopardy if she did not agree to go.
According to the complaint, the defendant "forcefully insisted that she drive with him," made advances during the dinner, and afterwards refused to take her back to her car. The document details him drinking and driving, and attempting to kiss her and "force her to touch him."
A string of saved text messages also detail Gaither's advances. For example, on April 28, Gaither texted Shaffer the following: "If you feel like decompressing I can get us a fire going this afternoon…Just let me know. Monday is always such a mess" and "Wrapping up at ymca you have the time n inclination?"
Later that day, the two spoke on the phone and Gaither allegedly told Shaffer he had accidentally sent a message intended for her to another ADA. That text read: "Nikki I definitely do not mind being ignored, but in the context of the immediate past I would certainly like to have a brief explanation...thx."
After the phone conversation, court documents say that text conversations continued. At one point Gaither allegedly sent a text that alluded to the assault on April 25. That text read "I've laid hands on you and love the feel of your body… I'm distracted at this point…"
Documents suggest that text messages were sent through the beginning of May. On May 5, Shaffer resigned her position. She alleges that Gaither then proceeded to tell others that he fired her for misconduct.
Shaffer is seeking a jury trial and damages.

DVD Drop: Love, actually
The Five-Year Engagement makes its way to video shelves
Emily Blunt and Jason Segel in The Five-Year Engagement (Universal Pictures)
It really bugs me when a movie like The Five-Year Engagement fails to catch on with audiences. I'm supposed to steer people towards entertainment that's actually worthy of their time and warn them away from the empty calories of cynically assembled studio generica, so when something genuinely good comes out and gets ignored, it can't help but sting.
Thankfully, I get the chance to beat that drum all over again once the good thing comes out on disc, so here's me pitching another campaign for Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller's proper follow-up to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Here's the thing, though: The Five-Year Engagement is richer and warmer than their 2008 hit, but not necessarily funnier. But that's okay; the filmmakers' priorities just are a little different this time around.
The premise is right there in the title: Charming, lovey-dovey San Francisco couple Tom (Segel) and Violet (Emily Blunt) get engaged with the expectation of a prompt wedding and a comfortable, happy life together, but the nuptials are pushed back when Violet gets an academic job offer that threatens to derail Tom's career as a chef. And then another thing gets in the way. And another.
Happens to everyone, right? Life doesn't proceed according to plans, and we find ourselves rolling in unexpected directions. But lest you think this sounds like a really sucky relationship drama, some of the unexpected events in Tom and Violet's life include Tom's best friend (Chris Pratt) impregnating Violet's sister (Alison Brie) on the night of the happy couple's engagement party, Violet's elderly grandparents dying in rapid succession and Tom getting drunk one night and waking up missing a toe.
Everything's played for comedy -- and very successfully, at that -- but the endless obstacle course of Tom and Violet's relationship is also sweetly, weirdly credible. Where Forgetting Sarah Marshall was intentionally outsized and goofy, The Five-Year Engagement finds Segel and Stoller telling a more relatable story, the better to build up the emotional kick of watching these two kids discover themselves as they try to negotiate their couplehood.
Maybe it helped that Segel and Stoller were also working on The Muppets while they were developing The Five-Year Engagement; they could shift all the wackiness onto that project and save the humanity for this one. That said, it wouldn't be a Segel project without some reference to Jim Henson's beloved characters; the shout-out he works in here is particularly delightful. (And I wouldn't dream of spoiling it.)
To reiterate: The Five-Year Engagement is a very funny movie. Segel and Blunt are a fine match, and the supporting cast is filled with vivid comic talent -- Pratt and Brie, of course, but also Rhys Ifans, Brian Posehn, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani and Lauren Weedman, in a role someone almost certainly tried to book for Jane Lynch. There's always something going on in the frame; this is a movie where people have been encouraged to create characters rather than types.
The marketing campaign made it look like your average Judd Apatow project about a schlubby guy who falls for a hot girl and encounters wacky complications in their life together -- and sure, that's a fair compression of the plot, if you strip away all the character stuff and emotional complexity. But of course the whole point of The Five-Year Engagement is the character stuff and emotional complexity; it's what turns Tom and Violet into believable human beings instead of stick figures, and what makes us root for them as they try to figure out how to stay together while growing into their adult selves. And it all works beautifully. You'll see.

Women demand share after BCCI pay-out to male stars
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) last week decided to disburse Rs. 70 crore from its coffers accruing from the IPL and Champions League T20 tournaments to former Test and first-class cricketers who retired prior to 2004.
Former women cricketers are happy at the BCCI's gesture and said they should also be included in the one-time payment scheme. "The BCCI should include us since women's cricket is also part of it since 2006," said Diana Edulji, the former captain and a top class left-arm spinner.
"It is good that the board is helping the former players and it would be great if they include women cricketers also in the benefit scheme. In fact, it is great that the widows of the former players are also part of it. It is a small amount for the board and a big boon for women players," said Diana, who played 34 one-day internationals (ODI) and 20 Tests from 1976-93 and is also an Arjuna Awardee.
Diana said that they have approached top BCCI officials and they were receptive. "I spoke to [BCCI member and IPL chairman] Rajiv Shukla and [secretary] Sanjay Jagdale two weeks ago and they said they were considering our case. I am waiting for a response from them."
Another former captain, Shubhangi Kulkarni, concurred with Diana and said the one-off pay-out would be a great gesture as we are also covered by the Board's pension scheme. "Thanks to Sharad Pawar's intervention, we came under the pension scheme along with the men players. Now that the men have been paid, we should also be treated on a par with them," said Kulkarni, who played for India in 27 ODIs and 19 Tests between 1976-91.
Asked what the Board's thinking about the women players' request, BCCI vice-president Niranjan Shah said: "As of now, it is only at the consideration stage and we will soon take a decision."

While it's not known if Kevin Martin will leave the Oklahoma City Thunder in free agency, the Thunder want to make one thing clear if he does – they want to sign and trade him.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Thunder are 'determined' to sign and trade Martin if they get the feeling he's leaving.
Per Stein:
Word is OKC determined to try concoct sign-and-trade if they know they're losing Martin but even that's tough given lack of $ wiggle room
Oklahoma City can't afford to pay Martin very much as they're attempting to avoid the NBA's luxury tax, so Martin has a choice – win or play for the money. Few teams will have a better chance at reaching the NBA Finals outside of the Thunder and Martin, who spent a large majority of his career playing for a woeful Sacramento Kings team thoroughly enjoyed playing on one of the leagues elite teams last year.
Still, it's not easy to turn down hefty sums of money and with the amount of interest Martin is receiving, somebody is going to offer him more than what the Thunder can afford.

Pittsburgh, Pa., May 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — As the summer months approach, area retailers and consumers alike eagerly anticipate the launch of the 2011 season for locally and regionally grown produce. "What we've found is that our customers associate in-season produce with peak freshness, better value and environmental consciousness," said Giant Eagle Vice President of Produce, Craig Ignatz. "No matter where it's from – a local farm or the far side of the globe – we ask ourselves the same questions, every day: how fast can we get it to our customers, and how fresh can it be?"
Getting fresh produce out of the ground and into the store
Giant Eagle begins with government standards for safe produce handling and employs an extensive fleet of 225 tractor trailers, equipped to ensure the fastest transportation, under ideal temperature conditions, to the company's stores in the shortest time possible.
"From original source to a local Giant Eagle store, the freshest produce is always on the move, around the clock, from wherever it's best," said Ignatz. "We're one of the biggest buyers of produce in the U.S., and we work hard to ensure that our offerings get from the farm to your table as safely and as fresh as possible."
Giant Eagle sources millions of pounds of fresh produce to stores each year. Annually, Giant Eagle customers consume:
- 56 million pounds of bananas
- 11 million pounds of strawberries
- 17 million ears of corn
- Nearly 17 million pounds of Idaho potatoes
Produce is a priority
Fresh fruits and vegetables comprised two of the top three grocery items for Baby Boomers in 2010 after failing to make the top five 30 years ago, reflecting trends toward healthier, lower-fat foods according to a recent industry survey conducted by market research firm Harris Interactive.
According to the survey, 83% of adults ranked fresh fruit among their top five grocery list items followed by 79% who included fresh vegetables.
"Fruits and vegetables can help build the immune system and reduce the risk for several health issues," said Judy Dodd, Giant Eagle's Corporate Nutritionist. "These are foods that are a good source of your daily fiber and are naturally cholesterol-free, which puts them high on the list for heart-smart eating".
In-season is in style
Purchasing produce at its seasonal peak is more popular than ever and better retailers are responding to the seasonal trend according to the ethnographic research division at The Hartman Group, Bellevue, Washington.
"Every fruit and vegetable has its own special time of year when it just tastes better, juicier, sweeter," said Ignatz. "We partner with the most reputable growers in order to deliver fruits and vegetables to our customers at the height of their flavor."
Giant Eagle takes numerous steps to educate consumers on which fruits and vegetables at their peak season throughout the year. According to Ignatz, depending on the season, the produce won't necessarily be from our region, but may come from farther away where climate and growing conditions are ideal. Giant Eagle works with suppliers to identify where its produce can come from during different times of the year to ensure the best consumption experience.
"In short, yes, some produce is grown regionally, such as our Wexford Farms tomatoes, beets and corn," said Ignatz. "We also offer the juiciest apples from Washington, the tastiest blueberries from Michigan, and the sweetest pears from South America."

There are times when I've stretched the truth and called "Brand New" a record that had actually been out for hours, or even the better part of a day. So it bears extra emphasis this time: TeeFLii's latest mixtape single is hot off the presses, in mint condition, so fresh you can still see the steam rising off it. In fact, it's a Booth-exclusive world premiere. The follow-up to October Booth debut This D**k (Remix), this cut finds the unsigned recording artist and producer waxing poetic about his girl's ability to leave him refreshed and rejuvenated after a session between the sheets. Instead of the silky-smooth production you might be expecting, the headliner turns in a slow-rolling beat built around a spiky, delayed guitar loop. Diamond Lane buzzmaker Problem lends his self-assured flow to the final verse. Like what you're hearing? You won't have to wait long for more; ANNIERUO'TAY 3: Who the @*#$! Is Annie? is set to hit the 'net this Thursday, November 21.

What's the problem with shagging every opportunity that comes along? Plenty.
Dr. Wendy Walsh: Free sex is here to stay. If you are a card-carrying member of the new millennium Girls Club, you are probably sexually active in an age where the double standard has all but disappeared. Unlike your grandmothers, you don't have to worry about getting a bad reputation, getting pregnant, or getting caught. You've got your own apartment now. And you've got the education and good sense to practice safer forms of sex. So, why not go for it every time? I mean, guys usually do.
For one big reason, ladies: No one has removed the emotional risks of sex.
First of all, know this -- in terms of a biological sex drive, men and women are wired very similarly. We all love sex. In this area we have much in common. Now, if you believe that most women must have an emotional connection before having sex, and that most men act on physical desire alone, then you're reciting cultural conventions, not biological realities. Your thinking has been programmed by a culture that is still dragging along some pre-sexual revolution remnants. The bottom line: You too can have great no-strings-attached sex. But SHOULD you? My simple answer is, not always. We are wired like men, but being liberated women isn't about acting just like men. It's about being something, well, something higher.
Now when I speak about being something higher than our cultural perception of a Don Juan, I'm not talking about being prudish, virtuous, or about being a "good girl." I'm talking about being a bad girl with boundaries. I'm talking about being a bad girl with feelings. I'm talking about learning to have great sex that not only produces an earth-shattering orgasm, but also verges on a spiritual experience. Let me explain more through these four questions.
1. Is more always better?
While I believe that a healthy dose of sexual experience is a great thing to cart into your next relationship, too much sex with too many partners doesn't make you any better at it, especially if your problem isn't sex, but intimacy. Intimacy is that strange and wonderful catch-word that describes emotional closeness, the ability to be honest, open, and vulnerable with another person. Too much unconscious sex only makes intimacy harder to achieve. Trust me. I've tried it. People used to tell me that I practiced sex like a man, and they were right. It was only when I learned to act like a gentleman that I began to get it right.
2. Is a man who is delicious on the outside always so delectable on the inside?
I know there is a resounding NO! being screamed at computer screens right now. We've all been there, girlfriends. Remember the major babe, Prince Charming who turned out to be a frog after we kissed him? Of course, the sexual experience may still have been great, but getting back to that thinking-feeling-conscious-woman thing, I ask you this: Was that yummy action between the sheets really worth the letdown that you felt when you found out the guy was actually married, a convict, a recluse, a gambler, a drug addict, a compulsive liar, a defendant in a paternity suit, a domestic abuser, or a serial killer? So, my advice? Don't have sex. Take some time with it first. Do your guerrilla research and determine if this guy really deserves your goddess-like sexual favors.
3. Is it possible to get so hung up on physical attraction that a girl could lose sight of what constitutes a good boyfriend?
It sure is. We all know women who put looks at the top of their list of important boyfriend traits. Maybe you're one of them. I certainly used to be. Okay, I admit, it's a personal battle I struggle with every day. But I'm getting better. Men's brains are becoming very sexy to me since surviving a string of hard bodies who were hard to live with. So, my advice when dealing with a major hunk of a date: Don't sleep with him! It'll cloud your judgment. Smart men learned this lesson a long time ago. Read: Men never forget the bikini model who got drunk and then got them arrested.
4. As women who are evolving spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually, do we have a responsibility to protect men from themselves?
Men are victims of this patriarchal culture too. Believe it or not, many men feel pressured to put out. They feel it's their duty to perform for every sexually liberated woman who will have them -- even if they don't really want to have sex. I know you may be groaning at that statement, but please believe me. Some men aren't even aware of the pressure they're under. Sure they recognize performance anxiety, but few really know when to say "No" to sex. It's your job to do it for them.
Your sexual confidence is an unfair advantage to men. Think of a much older man who seduces a naive 18-year-old girl. There is a power imbalance there. She thinks she wants to have sex, but is this a fair emotional match? Men are sometimes like that young woman when faced with a powerful, liberated sexual woman. Now think of any man who used the "L" word on you just to get you to have sex with him. Was that fair? So is it fair to use your sexually liberated self to get a man to give up the booty, when you know you might hurt his feelings later? Hell no. The first time a man accused me of playing him, I felt it was a badge of honor. I had attained full equity with the boys' club. Now I'm embarrassed that I ever thought those club rules were valuable.
So be responsible, girlfriend. Shag responsibly. Protect the hearts of the nice guys out there. Believe me, men fall hard when their heart breaks. When in doubt, look to your higher self. Welcome to the club of Bad Girls Who Think!

Interesting article- but I was hoping you would touch on married sex. Most of the readers on this site are moms and our single sex days are long behind us.
I especially liked how you deconstructed the skewed feminist idea that women "should" be able to have sex like a man.
I will definitely forward it to my single friends. And I would love an article about married sex- not the same old recycled b.s. but something new.
Free sex is here to stay…What century are you living in the 60's? Maybe I've been off the market for a long time but the single women friends I have are not out there having sex with anyone and everyone. There are just way too many std's out there and let's not forget about hiv.
After reading this article I started to get rid of the newsletter, but every magazine or nwsltr put out bad things sometimes. I hope this is the last.Yes, most readers are married—well I thought that.
This is just plain silly. You get what you put, simple. There's no such thing as too much, only more than YOU can handle.
"few really know when to say "No" to sex. It's your job to do it for them."
Give me the biggest (&^^)*(&%&^$*&%^ break! It's my job as a woman to BABY the man (or men) in my life?? That's the same thinking as, "Men can't control themselves. Men are going to rape. We have to just cope with this by giving more support to women." It's a crock! It takes responsibility FROM the man and makes it the woman's job.
Men can control themselves, and to urge us to take that from them is to discount men in general. It's insulting to men AND to women!
And this line: "being liberated women isn't about acting just like men." AGAIN, you make gender-based assumptions! And THEN you go on to completely contradict yourself. Here you basically say men are sex addicts and can't help it … then you say Well, they're pressured by society. Poor things. We'll have to make their decisions for them.
And OK, hello. I agree with another post about living in this decade. I am a mature, intelligent and open woman and I LOVE SEX! I have a person I get together with specifically and solely for the purpose of physical release. IF I were to meet someone, of course I would enjoy that stable relationship. But it's just not likely at this point, so WHY should I have to go without physical pleasure with another consenting adult? He and I are completely happy with the situation. In fact, it's one of the most honest relationships I've ever been in!
I imagine it was great fun to write this, and great fun for the editor who stuck the headline on it. It's also pretty pathetic.
Some things have not changed….the women having sex with anyone and everyone are still considered sluts by everyone I know.
This site's reading matter should and could be a lot better.
I agree, women shouldn't have to babysit me sexually. And I would have liked to read about married sex as well. There are married women out there that love sex too!
"We all love sex."
says who? i HATE sex!
your christian arent you?
first of all who hates sex?? i love sex. im not trying to find the right guy right now or get married anytime soon. i like being single and having sex with who i want when i want to. i have no strings attached sex all the time and i dont like when guys get clingy . im happy and im healthy and im not emotionaly messed up in anyway. if you want to have sex then just do it. just be safe about it.
[Standing ovation] VERY well said Christina!!
Personally the whole "women protecting men from themselves" theory is total bullshit. It marginalizes an entire gender based upon ignorant actions of a few, and reinforces gender roles which are detrimental to the symbiotic relationship that men and women ought to have.
It also takes away responsibility from the man since the woman is "protecting him from himself" As a human i believe that each INDIVIDUAL is responsible for their own beliefs and actions and both genders must work equally together to help improve the social status of women.
And "Doctor" Walsh (If that is your true title) I appreciate the sentiment but I have served 3 tours in Iraq as an FMF Corpsman (Combat Medic) for the US Navy treating Marines who have been maimed or mutilated by IED's, RPG's, and roadside bombs while being fired upon.
I'm pretty damn sure I can protect myself.
Doctor Walsh? Shut up.
"Your sexual confidence is an unfair advantage to men. Think of a much older man who seduces a naive 18-year-old girl. There is a power imbalance there. She thinks she wants to have sex, but is this a fair emotional match? Men are sometimes like that young woman when faced with a powerful, liberated sexual woman."
That is ridiculous and demeaning to men and women. Im actually too mad to even explain. Just please, don't have children.

Hi, I'm looking for an interesting topic to start a research project. The key terms for the topic are:
Bedside Ultrasound, Emergency Medicine.
Could any body help me?
One of the best presentations on an approach to volume resuscitation I have seen.
Great work guys!
Great stuff conceptualizing the guyton curves. The big picture approach to all this fluid resuscitation stuff is off the hook and the ideas that drive it are pretty exciting, I feel like I have x-ray vision. I am going to look through the archives, but what I am trying to find are doppler techniques. I feel like I have X-ray eyes, excited learning all this stuff, but in those grey area patients, doppler techniques may be the saving grace. Many of the non-invasive ways to assess volume responsiveness = do X, y, or Z and then measure CO via doppler. Can I measure LVOT…..? Sure. Can I doppler the aortic jet? Ummmm…… The carotid flow……maybe not so much. Any directions to some resources would be great.
Also, after reading the papers, I really not seeing how people are just raising the legs and seeing a increase in MAP and saying oh they must be volume responsive (I understand that MAP = CO x SV) without having really any standardization or other measurable endpoints. How long do you hold them up for, how long does the MAP stay increased (if they are volume responsive I take it that the MAP increases until you lower the legs). Is it just nonsense.
Anyway, great work.
A physiological approach but not a real everyday practice. Look IVC in extense anterior AMI…LVEF is reduced, B lineas are present, pseudonormal transmitral pattern is seen…but right ventricular function is good and IVC is collapsing more than 50 % and normal in diameter. Is really a fluid responder? the fluid response law says that a patient is volume responsive when BOTH ventricles are in the steep part of Starling curve…so IVC alone is not enough…maybe is better to see the entire echo movie. And is important not to forgot that pulse pressure variation (with strict conditions= tidal volume more than 8 ml/kg; regular sinus rythm, no espontaneous ventilatory efforts) more than13 %) have one condition that result in false positive= cor pulmonale. Again, it is important to see all movie…with a good and sometimes complete echocardiogram and of course, integrate thoracic ultrasound and B profile.

The Lamborghini Murcielago has recently taken a step down in order to make room for the new Aventador LP700-4 that debuted at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, but what would a next generation Murcielago look like if given the chance to shine? IAAD student, Salvatore Simonetti, got to work to give us all an idea of his vision for hat would be the next generation Lamborghini Murcielago.
His concept study is called Lamborghini Murciélago "Next Generation" and is inspired by the past models of the company, mainly the legendary Diablo . The concept's shape is similar to that of a jet-plane and combines the extreme aggressiveness of the Diablo with an extensive use of carbon fiber and kevlar. The shape of the concept gives off the Lamborghini-esque nature of the vehicle while the Supertrofeo race graphics and the SV letters of the Murcielago Super Veloce add a bit more edge to the already existing style.
This concept study is pretty good in theory, but our biggest problem with it is that we don't have a full front view of the car. And the graphics are mediocre at best. What's up with that, Salvatore?

Italian Wedding Soup
1 carton
Saffron Road Lamb Broth
1/2 medium onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1 tsp butter
1/4 pound ground lamb
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp pepper
leaves of 4-5 brussel sprouts
orzo, rice, or another small pasta (optional)
asiago cheese (optional)
Chop onions and carrots as fine as possible.
In a large pot, add 1 tsp of butter, turn heat to low and add onions. Cook 2-3 minutes.
Empty container of lamb broth and add carrots to the pot, and turn heat to high.
While the soup heats, begin preparing meatballs.
Mix the ground lamb with 1/4 tsp each salt and garlic and 1/8 tsp pepper.
Combine spices with the meat so that it's combined well. Roll small meatballs with your hands. The smaller the better.
Add meatballs and any pasta to the broth as soon as it begins to boil.
Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the meatballs are cooked through.
In the final 10 minutes before serving, add the brussel sprout leaves and allow a few minutes for them to soften.
Serve hot, grate asiago cheese on top for an added treat.

Op/Ed by Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue Myron Frans
Published in the St. Paul Pioneer Press on February 9, 2012 at 5:56 p.m.
By most conventional measures of economic prosperity, Minnesota is outperforming other states. Yet a recent Pioneer Press editorial, promoting the findings of a flawed tax index, says otherwise - hardly the best way to position our state for more growth.
First, the facts: Minnesota has the nation's 10th-highest per-capita personal income, 7th-lowest unemployment rate, 13th-lowest business failure rate, and 8th-lowest poverty rate. We have regained more than 33 percent of jobs lost in the recession (compared with 25 percent nationwide). In 2011, total wages in the state increased four times as much as in the rest of the country.
Despite the economic reality in the state, the Tax Foundation's "State Business Tax Climate Index" claims that Minnesota is bad for business ("Minnesota takes a licking on tax climate," Feb. 7). This is misleading, and biased.
The index is focused only on tax rates, without documenting the real-world effects or considering what Minnesotans and businesses in the state actually pay. For example:
It knocks Minnesota for having a sales tax on manufacturing equipment, but does not acknowledge that taxpayers receive tax credits (refunds) that cover these costs.
It criticizes Minnesota's research and development credit and Angel Investment Credit, even though they are important priorities for businesses in the state.
It is biased against states with multiple income tax brackets, even though there is no evidence that multiple brackets are a detriment to business growth.
The index ignores the benefits provided by public investment when assessing our business climate - yet it is those public investments that draw employers to Minnesota. As state economist Tom Stinson has noted, our taxes have bought something for businesses - like productive workers, research, high-quality transportation and other business services.
Following through on the Minnesota Department of Commerce's Financial Literacy Action Plan released last October, Commissioner Mike Rothman invited the heads of nine state agencies to the Department for a first of its kind Interagency Work Group on Financial Literacy at 3:00pm this afternoon. Agencies invited to participate in the work group have existing programs, outreach efforts, or other interests in financial literacy.
The goal of today's meeting is twofold: 1) to increase communication and collaboration across the administration in order to improve or expand existing financial literacy programs; and 2) identify new ways an administration-wide partnership may help ensure Minnesotans from Kindergarten to retirement have the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to achieve financial security.
"This is an unprecedented coalition that demonstrates this administration's strong commitment to financial literacy and consumer education," said Commissioner Rothman. "With an economy in recovery, and an increasingly complex marketplace, countless Minnesota families are facing real and difficult financial challenges. It has never been more important to work together across agencies to strengthen the systems that educate and support knowledgeable, financially secure Minnesota consumers. Working together in strong partnership, this coalition can make a big difference in the lives and finances of Minnesotans."
Gov. Mark Dayton and his commissioners are fanning out across Minnesota.
Education, revenue, pollution control and agency heads are following their boss' lead by hitting the road to take the pulse of the people.
"I think it makes a better relationship between Minnesota citizens and their government," Dayton said. It is essential, he said, for administration officials to "get out from behind the desk and the office and really see firsthand what's going on there in the real world and get the dialogue going. I really encourage commissioners to do that. I am very proud of them for doing so."
As a candidate, Dayton toured Minnesota's 87 counties in 87 days, covering 9,000 miles in less than three months. At the tour's conclusion, he bragged that he'd probably been to more counties more often, "than all the other candidates combined."
Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius and MDE staff will embark on a statewide tour to present information about Minnesota's waiver request and plans for a new accountability system that will more accurately and fairly measure schools progress.
"While the goals of NCLB are noble and some aspects of the law have been effective, it's clear Minnesota can, and must do better," said Commissioner Cassellius. "That's why Governor Dayton has taken the lead in making Minnesota one of the first states to create an accountability system that is more responsive to the needs of our students, our schools and our state. These meetings will provide the public an opportunity to hear about Minnesota's waiver request, ask questions and offer feedback."
The first meetings will be held in Rochester on December 7 and in St. Cloud on December 14. To read the full announcement and for more information about the waiver request, click here.
According to the release:
Today the Minnesota Department of Commerce announced that Governor Dayton appointed 15 members to the Governor's Task Force on Broadband, which will be charged with developing policies to promote the expansion of broadband access in Minnesota — including an action plan for identifying and correcting disparities in urban, rural, and suburban communities.
"For the short- and long-term success of our economy, every school, business, and consumer in Minnesota must have affordable, high-speed access to information and the online marketplace," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "That is what the work of this Task Force is all about."
Members of the Task Force represent a balance of broadband interests, including consumers, business and residential users, educational and health care institutions, traditional telephone and cable companies, wireless providers as well as metro and rural local units of government. The Task Force was established by Executive Order 11-27.

Two weeks upon returning from a trade mission to China, Lieutenant Governor Yvonne Prettner Solon is still feeling good about the progress made, the discussions had, and the relationships built during the weeklong trip that took place in October.
In a discussion with Politics in Minnesota published yesterday, the Lieutenant Governor shared her thoughts on important outcomes that came out of the China visit.
"Considering the many hardships facing Minnesotans in this economy, it has never been more important to empower consumers of all ages with the knowledge and resources necessary to make responsible, informed financial decisions," said Commissioner Rothman. "The Minnesota Department of Commerce, as one of the state's consumer advocates, has a mission-driven responsibility to contribute what resources, expertise, and services we can to this important effort."
The 12 initiatives are the result of a collaborative Financial Literacy Roundtable conversation hosted last April by the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
The steps include direct outreach to consumers, improving online tools for financial literacy, collaborating with the federal government and other state agencies, and more.
Click here to read more details about all 12 steps.
Right off the heels of Governor Dayton's trade mission to South Korea, this week Lieutenant Governor Yvonne Prettner Solon departed for another economic development mission, this one to China and hosted by the National Lieutenant Governor's Association (NLGA).
Joined by five other lieutenant governors from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa and Nebraska, Lieutenant Governor Prettner Solon is first attending the Canton Trade Fair in Ghangzhou. She will also have meetings in both Shanghai and Beijing with Chinese leaders in foreign affairs, aviation and education before the mission ends on Oct. 20.
On Oct. 14, the first day of the trip, the lieutenant governors were unexpectedly greeted by Wen Jiabao, the second-in-command to Chinese President Hu Jintao. Wen Jiabao joined Lieutenant Governor Prettner Solon and the other lieutenant governors for some of their scheduled meetings of the day, getting the trade mission off to a productive start.
For more details about Lieutenant Governor's Trade Mission to China, check out the full news release.

Oklahoma City–If you didn't see this one, just think back to the Hawks' game at Orlando (the first time), at Miami, at San Antonio, at Boston, at New Orleans. This was pretty much the same thing–hurt by turnovers, dribble penetration, poor shot selection–except for the gory sight of a cut on Smoove's head.

Now you see Sund we are paying attention to how pathetic your team is playing the good teams on the road.. It is only going to get worse for ya..

He missed typical Joe shots
geez how often will we continue to hear this?
i hope josh doesnt need that late dunk to get ready for the next time. getting upset about it is about as bush as doing it … to the victors the spoils. defend it by taking the guy out in a hard foul if you dont like it.
HAPPY NW YEAR GUYS AND GALS, many thanks to MC and his merry band.

I don't know how much longer I can handle the disappointment and depression before I just stop watching the team play. It might be different if I knew they were improving or that they at least were attempting to correct their mistakes, but there is no sign of any of that. Even from management, there is no sign of making possible changes if the current personnel just can't get it done. It's basically failure after failure when it really counts. Defeating inferior teams on occasion doesn't mean much if you can't handle anyone who even matters.
January 1st, 2011
12:52 am
Joe is a combined 18-51 (that's 35%) on FGs during his last 3 games. At what point will Drew realize that he is just taking too many shots. At what point will Drew realize that Al needs more involvement in the offense, at what point will management realize that we desperately need to get a well-rounded defensive point guard in order to progress and solve our greatest issue: inability to prevent dribble penetration? This organization is so frustrating. It's unbelievable.
I'm curious, how do some of you other fans manage to keep watching the Hawks play? What is your motivation?
January 1st, 2011

"Maybe it's a few bad shots, or maybe a few turnovers. We've got to grow up in that area"
gotta start by taking your own advice for JJ
January 1st, 2011
12:56 am
The answers to those questions is probably "never". Drew is set in his ways and likely won't change his policies. Also, the ASG is basically a disgrace in every facet when it comes to management. Don't expect anything from ownership. They have made 1 good move in the past year and that has been giving Horford an extension. Aside from that, they have done nothing to help the Hawks progress. ASG is, without a doubt, the worst ownership group in pro sports, and they win that title by an absolute landslide.
January 1st, 2011
12:58 am
That's what I'm saying fellas….these guys come out with the same stories post game…but the product on the court remains the same. It's evident that this "core" just PHYSICALLY and/or MENTALLY CANT DO IT.
January 1st, 2011
12:59 am
I did not see the game, but once again, Hawks get close in the fourth quarter, and then they fall apart.
Also, 15 points in the fourth. This happened alot under Woody, so when will Sund realize that the players have to share the blame? Make a move Rick.
January 1st, 2011
1:02 am
"The Hawks are 2-6 in road games against teams with winning records" MC .
Which is why the Hawks need homecourt advantage to advance in the playoffs.
"But with the Hawks down 85-81 and in need of good possessions, Josh fired up a 21-footer with 12 seconds on the shot clock. After Jamal missed a 3, Smoove came down and threw up a 3 with 16 seconds on the shot clock." MC .
When will Josh get it through his head that he needs to be more selective with his shots? This has been going on for way too long.
""It may be a little tough at times because defensively I am normally guarding their main guy," Joe said..
This is why we need Marvin to be a lock down defender. If he was, then JJ would not have to guard the main guy, and would conserve JJ's energy for offense.
But JJ needs to stop taking 3's altogether. He was 0-6 tonight, and is now 33-118 (28%) on the year. Unacceptable. To me, taking those 3's are bad shots right now.
January 1st, 2011
1:03 am
I really think that a coach entirely new to the team would have done wonders for the team, but regardless of the coach, the same defensive issues on the perimeter would be there. We can't really do anything to solve those unless we upgrade our personnel at the point guard position. With the currently lineup, you are bound to give up something, regardless of how good your help defense is.
January 1st, 2011
1:09 am
I see a lot of different questions on here that we would all like to get answers to from the players, coaches, management, etc. But, what I really want to know is:
When is L.D. going to finally abandon the Horford treatment. I'd like to see what our record is in games where Horford is forced to miss more than half of the first half due to L.D. placing more importance on him not fouling out than on winning the game. I bet the record isn't very good. I can't even remember the last time we won a game when L.D. used the Horford treatment. It definitely has a negative impact and so far this season, it hasn't had a positive impact in even a single game.

They're exposing the Hawks on NBA Tonight on ESPN2 now. SAME F___ING story. They're talking about how they left Durant wide open on 2 key possessions in the 4th. I mean come on, this guy isnt Joe Johnson, he's a real superstar. You cant expect him to brick clutch 4th quarter bucket attempts..
January 1st, 2011
1:21 am
Well, you can sum up where the Hawks are mentally. When you worry about a team scoring a meaningless basket instead of just running out the clock and not "why the hell don't you get your act together and win the game" this Atlanta team will continue to struggle against good teams. The difference in team abilities are not significant. Joe, get your priorities in line.
January 1st, 2011

"this guy isnt Joe Johnson, he's a real superstar. You cant expect him to brick clutch 4th quarter bucket attempts.."
LMAO… sad but true.
Happy new year, and hopefully happy new management.
January 1st, 2011
1:35 am
When can we get a real coach, a new coach, who won't play favorites so that we can see what this team can really do? We may never know what this "core" is truly capable of if we continue to watch them under the direction of Woody junior. Larry Drew seems like a nice guy, but he really has no business coaching this team, and is in way over his head. It's obvious that he doesn't even have the mentality or personality needed to control the team. The guys who think they are great basically just do whatever they want out there with no consequences and could care less what Drew think about it, since they know they won't get benched. Joe can take as many shots as his heart desires, and Josh can brick as many long jumpshots as he feels like on any given night.
How can you expect the team to improve or even utilize their potential and skill when they have a total misfit trying to lead them? The ASG made two absolutely horrible moves this offseason by signing Joe to a max contract and hiring Larry "Disappointment" Drew.
January 1st, 2011

The Hawks are who we thought they were (Dennis Green Voice).
January 1st, 2011
1:41 am
ASG, I hope you are happy with what you have caused. Look at what you have done to this franchise. The team is declining and regressing. Joe Johnson's insane contract has crippled the team, and to make things worse, you hired the worst possible coach available this offseason. I can't believe this. If you were just going to get a watered down, inferior clone of Woodson, why did you fire Woodson in the first place. What a disgrace.
January 1st, 2011
1:46 am
The Hawks are like the new girls you meet at a club when you're on vacation. They're fun and exiting for a one night stand when you catch them on a good night, but once you really get to know them, you don't want to have anything to do with them.

They were much better last year and the year before. It seemed they were headed in the right direction, up. Now they are headed in the wrong direction, down. The biggest change was Larry Drew for Mike Woodson.
Thanks Sund. I guess I can follow roller derby or something.
January 1st, 2011
3:27 am
While I didn't see the gm, one look at the box score revealed one problem. If Marvin had played 25:59mins and scored only 5pts, with 1 assist and 1 rebound, our resident Marvin bashers would be blaming him for everything that went wrong. But since it was Bibby, there isn't a single complaint or comment about him DISAPPEARING one game after a very solid overall performance.
Why does LDrew think he can rely on Bibby and get different results using basically the same stupid gimmick DEF approach Woodson used so unsuccessfully? Bibby is, and will always be, a DEF liability, and as long as LDrew refuses to address the situation, teams will continue to successfully exploit it.
Bibby couldn't be the starting PG for any other NBA team, and overall, he's still the NBA's biggest liability at PG. The Hawks are inconsistent, and will continue to be as long as LDrew continues to think he can depend on him by continuing to try and compensate using gimmicks to cover for his OFF/DEF limitations and inconsistency.
We won't improve one bit as a team until we get a PG in here to replace Bibby, or give Teague the job and allow him to develop. Based on what I've read about the gm, it seems JJ wore down trying to defend both Westbrook and Durant. Having Marvin, and playing a PG that's ready, willing and able to play DEF, would have certainly lightened JJ's DEF load.

But since it was Bibby, there isn't a single complaint or comment about him DISAPPEARING one game after a very solid overall performance. "
Agreed on Bibby being a major liability in a lot of ways, but a big reason why he probably doesn't receive as much criticism as Marvin is because he doesn't make nearly as many outright bad plays either. When Bibby isn't contributing positively, he's mostly invisible. When Marvin isn't contributing positively, he's fumbling the ball away and falling on his azz. Not saying Bibby is a better player necessarily, but Marvin's failures are more obvious.
January 1st, 2011
4:53 am
"Based on what I've read about the gm, it seems JJ wore down trying to defend both Westbrook and Durant."
This may be true (I didn't see most of the 2nd half) but Joe was shooting poorly to start the game too, well before he would have worn down trying to guard those two. I'm pretty convinced that his injury is nowhere close to being healed, and I'd much rather see him take as much time as possible to ensure that he can play at full capacity.
In any case, not using Damien Wilkins more as a defensive stopper to take pressure off Joe is on LD.
January 1st, 2011
5:57 am
We have a decent record with a significant number of injuries, including JJ's current status: many of his shots were SHORT, which is consistent with the fact that his elbow is not yet extending to the max.
A clear indication of that was when JJ shot a ball after a whistle with the play stopped and he did not even reached the rim.
Decent record with a lot of injuries. Not to be worried.
LD is also still groing as an head coach so lets give him some slack.

Why would anyone in there right mind think that Rick Sund can make the hawks a championship team? For crying out loud……the man has been a gm 31 yrs without a single championship? He doesn't even know the difference between a pg and a sg. You people should be lobbying for ASG to sell the team to someone who will use common sense.

vava: One issue with your 5:57am … the Hawks are making the same mistakes they've always made. It's probably the combination of an imbalanced roster and a lack of discipline – especially when it matters most.
Both are correctable of course, but I for one have pretty much given up on things changing a whole lot.

January 1st, 2011
9:16 am
NEJAH-Marvin receives so much criticizism because of where he was drafted and who he was drafted ahead of. All of the focus on how he walks, talks, drives to the bucket etc, is a result of that. When your PG, who's responsibility is to:
1-control the ball,
2-call the plays,
3-set everything and everyone up,
4-get the ball accross half court and initiate the OFF, routinely
disappears and is the teams biggest DEF liability, making an issue of how the teams 5th scoring option disappears, and/or drives to the basket, is trivialization at its best.
How Marvin drives to the basket doesn't explain why teams always direct their OFF focus towards attacking Bibby, above everyone else, and not Marvin. And regardless of how Marvin might look driving to the basket, AT LEAST HE'S WILLING TO TAKE THE CHANCE AND PUT FORTH THE EFFORT TO GET TO THE BASKET, WHICH IS A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN WE CAN EXPECT FROM OUR STARTING PG.
However, he certainly makes it easy as hell for every PG, or whoever he's assigned to defend, to go unchallenged to the basket. How many times do we have to see one player after another blow by Bibby's matador DEF, with so much ease, before we stop remaining silent, or making excuses, before realizing it's his inconsistency, his OFF/DEF limitations, and his inability/unwillingness to:
1-take the ball below the 3pt line,
3-consistently push the ball,
4-take risks with the ball in his hands,
5-provide a sufficient OFF treat to limit double teams on JJ,
6-attack, and/or put pressure on the DEF,
7-make certain the OFF is run consistently, everyone is included in the OFF, and not allowed to DISAPPEAR due to a lack of opportunities, and limit ISO's.
We certainly haven't gotten much of that from Bibby, and most certainly won't get it either. I'm totally perplexed by people who claim to have doubts about JTeague because of what they feel he MIGHT NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DO. while at the same time trivializing, making excuses for, or downright ignoring the problems caused by Bibby, in support of him, when WE KNOW FOR AN ABSOLUTE FACT, AND HAVE CONSISTENTLY WITNESSED, WHAT HE WON'T AND/OR CAN'T DO.
January 1st, 2011
9:30 am
Ya Boy LD tried that scrubb, Jeff teague, and he stunk up the joint. How convenient, you didn't watch. I doubt very seriously, Marvin Williams would have made much difference. Bottom line is this team is about where they should be and you know it. Stop fooling yourself.

This team is worse than last year. Again, why they gave Johnu are running him down.son a max contract and haven't signed Crawford is beyond me. Crawford carries the team along with Horford and Smith. Johnson doesn't do crap for the team. When is Sund going to wake too. No center no playoffs. You cannot continually have Horford at center at 6-9, yo
January 1st, 2011
9:34 am
Coach Drew gave JT early playing time in this one. The results: turnovers, passing up on good shot opportunities, bad shots when he took them, and poor defense (and that poor defense was against the back up PG).
I'd love the see Teague get more playing time, but there are definite reasons why he is not getting it. Not only is he not as good as Bibby on the offensive end, he is also not yet much (any?) better than Bibby on the defensive end.
[Yes, to all of you that swear up and down that Teague is clearly a better defender just because he is faster/quicker, you are living in a fantasy world. Teague, plain and simply, just does not have it quite yet.]
January 1st, 2011
9:39 am
Johnson doesn't do crap for the team?!
(1) He usually guards the opposing teams toughest assignment at the 1-3 position. That is asking a lot for anyone night in and night out. He is forced to do this because the Hawks perimeter defense otherwise is pretty bad. If it wasn't for JJ, the Hawks would be much, much worse for it defensively.
(2) He leads the team in assists. Even on bad shooting nights, he draws the double teams. And he often passes out of them to an open man.
(3) He still is a scorer. Yes, his percentage is down, but he is still a scorer. The good news is, is that he not just a scorer (see 1 and 2).
Without JJ, this Hawks team struggles to make the playoffs.
January 1st, 2011
9:41 am
Speaking of JJ and playoffs, just imagine how good the Knicks would be if the Hawks let JJ walk and the Knicks would have signed him. Top 3 in the east, maybe?
[This statement is assuming that the Knicks would have still signed Amar'e and Felton.]
January 1st, 2011
9:43 am
Yea JA. I've been saying that all along. teague is not a good defensive player. Guys blow buy him just as much as Bibby. They just assume he is because he's quicker. Also, his only shot is a 10foot floater and last night he was "airballing" that. Face it guys, dude is not good.
January 1st, 2011
9:51 am
Called it before the tip. Lack of D and rebounding did us in combined with our "stars" trying to outshoot their STARS. Sorry Joe, you're not Kevin Durant. Neither are any of our other shooters. We new that beforehand? Why try to outshoot/outscore them with our "shotmakers". Teague was definitely outmatched by a guard taken after him in the draft. He's just too inconsistent to count on.
Joe isn't healthy.
Horford needs to rest the hand
Josh needs his head in the game
Dissappointing. Hoping for improvement and real adjustments in 2011. Front half has been dissappointing to say the least mainly b/c we hear the same speach Woodson game night in and night out. Nothing has really changed.
January 1st, 2011
9:56 am
If the Knicks would've signed Joe it would've put them over the top. There's a team that's making real adjustments and progress. Chicago too. We just sit still and even slump backwards. Last year we beat good teams and goofed off against poor teams. We at least made it interesting. This year it's too predictable when and how we'll lose.
Amen to the Teague comments J from the A. Dude is not ready. If he can't put it together by the trade deadline we definitely need a starting PG.
January 1st, 2011
10:05 am
As many have said, our offense should start with Al. He's our most consistent player. We should start Jamal at the point and move Bibby to SG, where he can spot up off Al or Jamal. JJ and Josh are the "hard headed" two guys i've seen in a long time. JJ and Josh should never leave the blocks on offense. LD hasn't impressed me at all in being able to change the players' bad habits. I don't know why many of you were so "fooled" into believing a minimum wage coach could but you see he hasn't. We really need to get rid of the bad apples and we would have a much better team.
