Hercules Loves
NBC's KIDNAPPED!!
I am – Hercules!!
After "Studio 60," "Kidnapped" is my favorite new show of the season.
A superrich and well-insulated Manhattan family finds itself torn in all sorts of directions when its teen son (Leopold Caine!) is abducted by a murderous individual who really knows what the fuck he's doing
Writer-producer Jason Smilovic, who masterminded "Karen Sisco" (ABC's way-too-good-for-TV TV version of Soderbergh's "Out of Sight") shepherds "Kidnapped" as well.
The new series stars Jeremy Sisto ("Six Feet Under"), Delroy Lindo ("Get Shorty"), Dana Delany ("China Beach"), Timothy Hutton ("Beautiful Girls"), Mykelti Williamson ("Boomtown"), Linus Roache ("Batman Begins"), Carmen Ejogo ("Lackawanna Blues"), Will Denton ("Palindromes") and Boris McGiver ("The Pink Panther"). And Mamet regular Ricky Jay!
You know right away you're in good hands as you notice the lack of pride world-weary Massive Private Bodyguard Virgil Hayes takes in correcting the elevator operator on a species of flora being transported.
"We don't discuss Virgil with guests," Delany's character reminds her preteen daughter (in French) as a "Times" writer lurks nearby. (If you're a fan of Jack Bristow or Jack Bauer or Aaron Pierce, there's an excellent chance you're going to be way into Virgil Hayes. And I'm not even sure Virgil survives the pilot.)
Jeremy Sisto (Brenda's incestuous love interest from "Six Feet Under") plays a character so badass he's charged with cleaning up Virgil's mess. He has a very kissable British partner who does not get kissed in the pilot. Delroy Lindo demonstrates all manner of heretofore unnoticed nuance as an FBI shark. Hutton kicks in some of the "Ordinary People" gravitas he pioneered more than a quarter century ago. Dana Delany is incredible, and today defines "milftastico."
But what matters Herc's opinion?
The Los Angeles Times says:
… There's also "Vanished," a similarly themed new series on Fox involving the disappearance of a senator's wife, but "Kidnapped" is easily better. … There's well-worn convention in the cat-and-mouse between Knapp, the eccentric hired gun, and King, representing the feds, but the acting here makes you forgive it. It's not just the stars, either; "Kidnapped," shot in New York, has the feel of a "Law & Order" or "Sopranos," with roles that might otherwise be filler going to performers who, in their little scenes, convey pathos (i.e. Michael Mosley, playing a newbie agent). In a show like this, at a time like this, the story, the "trust no one" foreshadowing, is ultimately the star. But "Kidnapped" collaborators Jason Smilovic, the creator, and Michael Dinner, executive producer-director, tip you off that they're also looking for character.
It's in details — the way, for instance, the Cain family conveys its class status by speaking French to one another when a stranger is present. As things pick up speed in the second hour (Day 3, in the timeline of the kidnapping) and build to the kind of standoff that will inevitably punctuate each episode, there is a scene in a bar involving Sisto, Lindo and Mosley, the two vets praising the rookie for his action in the field that day. It's actually a scene about the giving of mutual support, and it doesn't come off as hokum. "To our ships at sea," Knapp says, raising his whiskey, as the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" plays.
There is action all over the place in "Kidnapped," but it's a scene like this — quieter and even refined — that conveys the sense that you're in capable hands.
The Washington Post says:
… "Sometimes, the world doesn't make sense," says a philosophical bodyguard named Virgil in tonight's premiere of NBC's "Kidnapped." Virgil has not only made the understatement of the week, but he's also helped set the tone for this superior, high-tension serialized drama about the proverbial "parent's worst nightmare" -- and how it affects not just the parents but everyone involved. … Writer and executive producer Jason Smilovic, ably abetted by director Michael Dinner, crams the premiere with so many provocative complications that even a doubting Thomas can see how a drama about a single kidnapping -- wrapped up handily in such self-contained, two-hour movies as "Ransom" -- could sustain viewer interest over an entire season. … "Kidnapped" isn't the show to watch if you want your mind taken off your troubles (unless other people's troubles have a therapeutic effect). It reflects a trend toward the grim and even ghoulish in new fall dramas. But for what it is, it's an extremely accomplished piece of work -- unsettling in ways that few suspense thrillers manage to be.
The Chicago Tribune says:
… Several new dramas, including the apocalyptic "Jericho" and hostage drama "The Nine," attempt to mine entertainment from terrifying scenarios, but none does it with more style and panache than "Kidnapped." Thanks to a top-notch cast and unusually intelligent writing, "Kidnapped" is among the more promising of many new shows that pay homage to the granddaddy of the current suspense boom, "24." …
Newsday says:
… Here are the three basic things you need to know about NBC's "Kidnapped": First, it's effective. Second, it's a serial. And third, but not least, Jeremy Sisto is the crusty, sour, dangerous and hairy (casually and coolly unkempt) Knapp. … Yes, there have been some valid questions about TV's recent embrace of the serial. (Too many? Will people stay tuned?) "Kidnapped" feels so fresh that viewers won't even care.
Entertainment Weekly gives a "B" and says:
… Consider the cast: Timothy Hutton, Dana Delany, Jeremy Sisto (pictured with Carmen Ejogo), and Delroy Lindo. No quartet is better suited to elevate this sleek drama beyond its generic debut.…
USA Today says:
… It's a shame miniseries are out of favor, because producers certainly have some great ideas for them. Take Kidnapped, a heavily serialized, 24-inspired drama that will spend the season following the kidnapping of the teen son of a wealthy family. Sure, the plot has been used before by a million movies, but a strong cast compensates: Timothy Hutton and Dana Delany as the concerned parents; Delroy Lindo as an FBI agent pulled back from the brink of retirement; and Jeremy Sisto as the brooding special investigator called in by the parents. Factor in a solid lineup of producers, including Karen Sisco's Jason Smilovic and Michael Dinner and Angel's David Greenwalt, and you can easily imagine yourself settling in with Kidnapped for six, eight, maybe even 13 episodes. But 22? Sorry, no.…
Variety says:
… Dour and dark, this isn't even the only serialized missing-person show of the season, and Fox's disappointing "Vanished" enjoyed a headstart. Still, a high-octane cast brings some promise to the show … No one is going to win any points for originality here, including a money-drop sequence cobbled together from every kidnapping scenario ever filmed. Initially, though, the fine performers, keyed by Lindo and Delaney, coupled with Michael Dinner's taut direction, at least keep matters moving, and the Cains' family secrets could be intriguing, with the disclaimer that they had better get there fast. …
The Hollywood Reporter says:
… Interestingly, "Kidnapped," like its namesake novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, forgoes most of the easy emotional exploitation inherent in the crime and concentrates on a superbly constructed and unpredictable tale of intrigue and mystery. Even the young victim doesn't sit around, bound and gagged, begging for sympathy. He is, instead, a bright adolescent keenly alert to any possibility of escape. All of this, plus one of TV's finest casts, makes "Kidnapped" one of the best of the new crop of serialized dramas. … Jason Smilovic has written an engaging mystery filled with fascinating characters. Sisto brings his trademark intensity to the role of Knapp, a dogged investigator who says a lot with very few words. Lindo is equally heroic, though slightly more detached. When they are in the same scene, which happens regularly, the testosterone approaches flood levels.

Its good
by ChorleyFM
but not great. Some of the set pices are very cinematic, and the majority of the cast is great (bar the fed who gets in the way and the British assistant). I thought its biggest weakness was the writing which was very clunky and derivative, but I will watch at least a few more episodes. Virgil was pretty damn cool though.

The problem with shows like these is not
by JonQuixote
that you can't get 24 episodes out of a single crime or that it can't sustain your interest. It's that they usually move so slowly but significantly that if you miss one episode, you tend to lose all inclination to come back for the rest. At least, that's how it usually works with me. But I'll give it a shot and who knows, maybe in this age of TiVo it won't be a problem anymore.

It was too much like watching the West Wing. From the White House to a fictional television show. Sounds like a downgrade and apparentley the ratings aren't so hot.

Delroy Lindo
by TheSeeker7
Is this not the same exact character he played in "RANSOM"? Man, it's incredible to me how many regular movie actors (if even B level status at best) are coming to TV this season for the long haul, what with Lindo, Timothy Hutton, Amanda Peet, Amy Smart, etc... I guess it tells ya something.
Sept. 20, 2006, 3:13 p.m. CST

Kneel before Greenwalt!
by robogeek.com
Great cast, but all I really needed to know was that this is uber-producer David Greenwalt's new showrunning gig. I mean, when the guy behind the brilliant Profit and Miracles (who was also a significant contributor to The X-Files, Buffy and Angel) is shepherding a new show, that's automatically TiVo-worthy in my world.
Sept. 20, 2006, 4:13 p.m. CST
I was thinking about checking this one out as well
by Lando Griffin
so the dvr will be set for tonight. Sisto rules. Like others I have had a crush on Delaney since China Beach and flipped when for her scenes in Exit To Eden (even though the movie was pure garbage) Which reminds me of the Dana Delaney reference in the Animaniacs theme song.

The "Napped" Part of the Title is Right.
by bobbyjoe
I dunno... maybe those praising the show have either seen more episodes or have seen a different pilot epiode than I did. I watched the preview pilot episode from Netflix, and it felt like a really long "Law and Order" episode with a "to be continued" tag slapped on at the end. Like "Law and Order," it had a lot of good actors, but everything felt kind of cardboard and very predictable t.v.-ish. I love Dana Delaney, but all this bore of a pilot made me feel was I wish she'd gotten to have a long run with something weirder or richer, like "Pasadena," instead of this watered-down NBC version of a serialized "thriller." I kept waiting for a big twist, or anything to make this different, but I never felt I got that in the pilot episode. Maybe it takes off in a later episode, but what with a million other shows premiering out there, I don't know if I'll stick around to find out.
Sept. 20, 2006, 7:22 p.m. CST
i sure hope this doesn't remind me of 'Ransom'
by newc0253
because this looks like a good show, and i don't want to be reminded of a mediocre movie while i'm watching it.

That very kissable partner is Jeffery Wright's wife
by Jyoti
Carmen Ejogo. I'd pay a fiver to see Jeffery grace the screen for this. Definitely secure my full season commitment even if the show's not as good as it's hyped.

by SPECTRE Agent
So far, just cookiecutter. A very underwhelming pilot but the series still looks like it could have a lot of potential. But after "Smith" this came off as the lesser effort.

Dana Delaney was the best Lois Lane

And she's still gorgeous even pushing 50.

Not Very Good
by Spuncho
But no worse than Vanished. I'll give Studio 60 a chance, but I won't be watching this anymore.
Sept. 21, 2006, 12:06 a.m. CST
by baseballfury
I can't believe anyone is bitching about this show. I have watched the first episodes of more new shows this season then I have ever watched before, and Kidnapped is hands down my favorite so far. The first ten minutes, and the way the action and drama were handled was excellent, and the best pure filmaking skill I've seen on any show this season. And the rest of the episode, while dipping a bit deep into the "Ransom" sack, was almost as good. And I hope to God Mykelti returns, and he and that accountant/hitman played by Dr. Venture throw down. I'd fucking pay to see that. Virgil rules.
Sept. 21, 2006, 12:24 a.m. CST
Though, I Admit
by baseballfury
Jericho was pretty good too, even if THEY dipped a bit too deep into the "Lost" bag, but without the awesome "WTF?" first minutes. I'll watch a few more though.
Sept. 21, 2006, 3:39 a.m. CST
So far...
by Ace Hunter
...the new season has "Smith" as the best pilot with "Kidnapped" a close second. "Jericho" was pure crap. Also caught the BBC series "Hustle" on AMC. Great show! Maybe our Brit friends can fill us in if the series is one to follow.
Sept. 21, 2006, 6:54 a.m. CST
K, that pilot was terrible
by Eaglet1138
Sorry, Herc. Badly plotted, badly acted...one of the worst pilots I've ever seen. I may tune into the second ep, but only because I want to see this work, not because I like anything about the show.
Sept. 21, 2006, 7:48 a.m. CST
by JackSack
Wow, an unassuming looking badass, loose cannon who plays by his own set of rules and is constantly bucking the system. What a concept! Drop the Bauer wannabe and concentrate on Virgil and the Delroy Lindo character and you'll have a show, imo. Oh yeah, drop the meaningless musical montage at the end and the Se7en style editing, which muffles the tone of the show. Really, the Jack Bauer type character is totally unnecessary in this show. No one is going to out-Jack, Keifer, so why even try? I was wondering about this guy's profession? His price is a flat rate. What kind of PI works at a flat rate? What if it takes him like 5 years to rescue this kid and the kid ends up dead? Not a very well thought out business model. Plus, how many high society kids get kidnapped and held for ransom? Is this a common occurance? Must be, I mean he moves from one job right into the next. What's the legalities of a private citizen breaking into a house, shooting everyone in it? Does he call the cops afterwards to clean up? Can he just go around doing that? Couldn't he be charged with child endangerment? Seems like if he interfered too much with the Feds they could find some charges to press on him to keep him under control.
Sept. 21, 2006, 8:16 a.m. CST
This show was a bloody mess.
by Roguewriter
Cliches, coinkydinks and silly silly writing (Delany's rooftop speech near the end in particular). Color this one off the cool chart...

Vanished is better than this
by Subversive01057
But Kidnapped seems like it will be better than Standoff.
Sept. 21, 2006, 3:33 p.m. CST
Vansihed is NOT better than this.
by nalapou
Vanished is shit. And even if it was good it wouldn't matter because it's on FOX and its serialized, so chances are it wont last past December. Fuckers and their Reunion cancelling.
Sept. 21, 2006, 7:12 p.m. CST
Herc likes all the crappy
by Trim Master
Herc likes all the crappy shows. Isn't this the guy who liked The Inside. This show sucks and will be gone in 2 weeks
Sept. 21, 2006, 8:41 p.m. CST
by glodene
Actually Vanished is starting to grow on me, but Nalapou is right in the fact that it probably won't last past December, due to its' low ratings, thus leaving Fox no other recource but to replace it with some (waiting in the wings) lame-as reality show. I enjoyed Kidnapped though. Jeremy Sisto is pretty intense in a gritty sort-like-way and Carmen Ejojo is quite yummiliscious. (In the words of Eddie Griffin "I'd like a cup of those lips, a plate of those titties and a side order that azz).
Sept. 23, 2006, 6:33 a.m. CST
Full of clichés
by Ruccola
Wow, another black old cop who wants to retire... Wow, another shot of a train going in front of a man who suddenly disappears Wow, another cop who suddenly asks the smart question when the meeting seems to be over. I might follow this, but it will have to do better. Plus, I don't care for the kid at all.
Sept. 23, 2006, 2:19 p.m. CST
A boring version of RANSOM
by McGsStepson
Same city. Same apartment. Same scenario. Different Actors. Except for the glaring inclusion of annoying Delroy Lindo, playing what will eventually be the same role.

Mamet Connection?
by GrandMuffTarkin
After seeing the pilot, I would've bet that Mamet had his dirty fingernails in the script and casting. Ricky Jay, Delroy Lindo, the bodyguard, and a host of others right out of the Spartan cast list. But I can't find any connection on IMDB. Anyone know?

Of the eight teams in the College World Series, Virginia is one of two teams that didn't have the luxury have hosting a super regional.
The road warrior Wahoos have been college baseball's surprise story. The players say they're hungry and excited to be playing for a national championship.
UVA baseball player Franco Valdez said, "We're going to go out and play the game. We're not going to get caught up with the story lines, or get consumed with the amount of people there, we're just going to go out there and play the same we have since game one."
Virginia Baseball Head Coach Brian O'Connor said, "I can assure you this team is not satisfied with just going to Omaha. Our goal without question is to win the National Championship."
The Hoos will face LSU Saturday at 7 p.m. in Omaha, Nebraska.

PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A Bosnian Serb convicted war criminal who spent 13 ˝ years in prison for persecuting and forcibly expelling non-Serbs during the 1992-95 Bosnian war is urging people in his country to forget the conflict, stop hating, forgive and move on for the benefit of all.
Wartime Bosnian Serb Parliament speaker Momcilo Krajisnik was last month granted early release from a British prison where he had served two thirds of a 20-year sentence handed down by the U.N. War Crimes Tribunal.
He told The Associated Press in an interview on Tuesday that when he returned, he was surprised by how obsessed people in Bosnia still are with war.
He said he was sad to have found his country in a pitiful state of poverty, fed by ethnic bickering.

Proposal of Changes to General Assembly Schedule (Passed 11/27/11)
November 28, 2011 in Draft Proposals
Why we are proposing this:
GA Procedures is making the following proposal in order to facilitate greater outside
group, community, and committee involvement in Occupy Denver, and to give Occupy Denver
space to grow as a movement.
What we are proposing:
We are proposing that we change the schedule structure of our daily General Assembly
meetings. We proposed that we reduce official voting to just 2pm GAs on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday. We propose that we then use the remaining days in the following ways:
Tuesday and Thursday – "Get Involved Nights"
We will have an initial gathering with where there will be announcements and, when needed,
voting on emergency proposals. It will also be a time where participants can get feedback
on proposals they are planning on bringing to the GA in the future (these feedback sessions
should last no more than 20 minutes and will not include actual voting). After this introductory time, the GA will then break out into smaller sessions. The criteria for these sessions will be simply that they must be (1) related to advancing the Occupy movement, (2) increasing broader involvement in the movement, or (3) for planning, organizing, or coordinating future Occupy Denver activities.
Possible suggestions for activities that could take place in this time:
Fish bowl caucuses
Event planning/organizing sessions
Committee meetings
Open forums
Flash mob practices
Pot lucks, etc.
We are open to other suggestions for how to use this time
If there are no activities planned by the beginning of Get Involved Nights, then the fallback will be to do announcements, then have an open forum discussion on Occupy Denver in general,
followed by an hour of committee break outs starting at 8pm.
Groups will be invited to share updates from what happened in their working time at the
following GAs and/or to send their notes to firstname.lastname@example.com. Committees will
be required to include the updates from these meetings in weekly committee digests. Non-
committee groups will not be required to announce the proceedings of their meetings, but will be welcome to do so in the announcements section of following GAs.
Sundays – Open Forum/Recap General Assemblies
We will have an initial gathering with where there will be announcements and, when needed,
voting on emergency proposals, followed by an open forum, with room for voting on schedules
for Get Involved Nights.
How we propose to implement this:
- Anyone can submit a proposals for Get Involved Night activities either by contacting a GA
Procedures member in person or by emailing us at email@example.com. We will
work with the proposers to schedule what day their activity should take place
- We will bring a proposed schedule for Get Involved Nights on Sundays to be discussed and
voted on by the GA
- These schedule decisions will be posted to the website after Sunday's GA
- If nothing is decided upon on Sunday, then we will use the default plan for Get Involved Nights
- GA Procedures will be keeping a calendar of topics and activities for Get Involved Nights thatis eventually going to be on the website

In the final edition of our Big Board series we'll be taking a look at an array of prospects slated to be available in the second round of the 2012 NBA Draft. Because this half of the draft is so unpredictable and because I did not get a chance to watch some of these players, there will not be a designated order in which they appear. These are simply the best players, in no specific order, forecasted to land outside of the first round in the eyes of most draft aficionados.
After a period of silence, the Nuggets have finally announced the next group of players scheduled to work out for the team on June 18. The list includes six players, three of whom appeared in Roundball Mining Company's first Big Board of the year. The Nuggets have graciously granted permission to our writers to attend the event, however it appears nobody will be able to make it due to occupational limitations.

Over spring break, NWU junior Deirdre Hoffman is opting not to return home or bask in the sand and sun. Rather, she's joining other Nebraska Wesleyan University students for a spring break spent doing service.
"There is no greater feeling than giving to others and changing lives for the better," said Hoffman.
Students enrolled in Nebraska Wesleyan's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are on spring break this week. Hoffman and other students who signed up for the alternative spring break — organized by University Ministries and the Service Learning Office — hit the road and drove west to Denver, Colo., where they are immersing themselves on issues of hunger, homelessness and poverty.
They will serve breakfast at homeless shelters, volunteer at the Food Bank of the Rockies, participate in a paint-a-thon and paint homes for the elderly, and spend time at the King Adult Enrichment Program, which serves young adults with multiple sclerosis.
"It is our hope that as students experience their time in Denver, they will gain a greater understanding of how to respond to this need and begin to reflect on how this experience relates to the needs they see around them on an everyday basis," said University Minister Mara Bailey.
This is the fourth year that University Ministries has offered a spring break alternative, called "Give Me Your Hand." Service projects alternate each spring in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Denver.
"I am passionate about helping the homeless and poverty populations in our world," said Hoffman. "In order to help them, we have to understand their everyday life and what they experience."
NWU junior Jake Jolliffe is volunteering for the second time with the "Give Me Your Hand" spring break trip. He traveled to Denver during his first year and was eager to return.
"I learned so much about Denver and how those actions can reflect in my hometown or here in Lincoln," said Jolliffe. "It was a great spiritual trip to reflect on how many blessings I have and how I can put them to use."
"Give Me Your Hand" isn't the only alternative spring break option that NWU students are participating in this week. Fifteen students involved in the Art Club are in New York City where they met up with NWU art professor David Gracie, who is spending his sabbatical there this year.
While in New York City, students are visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and Brooklyn College.
"You cannot make art in a bubble," said Gracie. "The students will see and learn so much during this trip that they will be feeding off of it for the rest of their time at Wesleyan. If you are an artist you have to spend time in New York City."
Nebraska Wesleyan's Touch of Class Jazz Choir kicked off its spring break concert tour on Sunday. They will perform at churches in Gothenburg and Scottsbluff in Nebraska and in Denver and Castle Rock in Colorado.

"Don't be surprised to see nana and grandad, happily enjoying a cuppa outside their campervan in all their pleated and wrinkled glory."

Nudist retreats
Naturist holidays are not a new phenomenon, but they are taking the travel world by storm as more and more nudists take their clothes-free lifestyle to the road, leaving luggage behind to catch rays on their ... behinds.
PHOTOS: the world's top nudist spots
Though '
' (the preferred term for the clothing-optional philosophy and way of life), has been documented since the time of
Alexander the Great
, it didn't take hold in the modern world outside saunas and bathhouses until the early 20th century. At that time what started as a health and fitness lifestyle in Germany spread to the UK, Canada and the US, where naturism clubs and nudist beaches and resorts began to take hold.
Beyond the baths
'Social nakedness' has long been prevalent in the saunas and bathhouses of Europe and Asia, but it took German doctors and philosophers who began to openly advocate out-and-about nudism to promote the activity.
Though the Nazis weren't too keen on a society gone starkers, they were not able to keep the phenomenon under wraps, and the idea of nudist beaches and naked retreats spread throughout Europe. While the Germans are still the world's best birthday-suit advocates, the notion of social nakedness has an extremely high following throughout the Western world, and the market for clothing-free tourism is attracting millions of travellers annually.
Naked town
Europe has had clothing-optional beaches for years, but it is only in the past two decades that specialised resorts have accommodated nude travellers. The Caribbean, Mexico, North America and even Australia are now home to thousands of properties that cater solely to those in the buff.
Take, for example, the town of Cap d'Agde in France known as Naked Town, Cap d'Agde is the world's capital of naturism. Whether you care to lie on the beach, stroll the town's high street or even nip into the shops for some meat and potatoes, in Cap d'Agde you will do it starkers. The town's summer population of 40,000 pride themselves on how little luggage they need, and how they are dressed for any occasion without a thread.
No hanky panky
Nudists are not to be confused with sex tourists they are staunchly different. Though clubs such as the popular Hedonism III in Jamaica are well-known for attracting swingers, your typical naturist hot-spot is more likely to be a family-owned caravan park where nana and grandad air ... theirs.
This type of family-friendly holiday naturalist retreat can be found across Australia, and it is reported that more than 40 million people worldwide take nude holidays each year.
Less cheek
A simple Internet search can put you in touch with hundreds of specialised travel agents that exclusively book naturist holidays for punters without pants, and thousands of accommodation and resort options have their own sites listed.
Be warned that these portals of information often include image galleries don't be surprised if nana and grandad appear on the screen in front of you, happily enjoying a cuppa outside their campervan in all their pleated and wrinkled glory. And for the serious, ahem, enthusiast, there are dozens of accredited clubs and organisations across the country.
So if you never know what to pack when heading off on holiday, feel free to let it all hang out. Just ensure you've arrived at the correct location before donning the birthday suit and strutting your stuff.
Be sure to check out our photo gallery of the
world's top nudist spots

I trust the people sitting one the tree stumps didnt get any nasty splinters in any awkward places ,One would be quite embarrsed having a splinter removed , the guy holding the Guitar looks quite happy with himself plcking and twanging His guitar string there !!!
Sadly, so many comments on the subject of nudity reflect a lack of appreciation that we are naturally hedonistic. I have just returned from Cap d'Agde and enjoyed a truly unique and liberating experience. The visitors and residents of this amazing community share the opportunity to be open and natural and it takes a very short time to adjust to the almost total nudity and varity of shapes, ages and sizes. You really start to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the human body and also recognise that perfection not only doesn't really exist, but if it does, then it is subjective and personal. It seems very healthy to me that this community thrives and operates with remarkable normality and a great deal of inherent tolerence. Being naked really does make us all equal. Without doubt Cap d'Agde and other resorts do attract people who enjoy a 'libertine' lifestyle but this generally occurs without impacting upon others. It is simply adults making the choice to explore their natural sensuality
One of the many advantages of a Nudist Wedding, is that everyone knows who the Best Man is !
why do you constantly mention nudism on this site , single men are totally discriminated against everywhere in NZ nudist circles, but single woman are not and don't fool your self this is where all the swingers hang out , but the club mouthpieces who spout this rubbish "Oh no not in our club, we are all very proper here, we don't look at each other, they are fools Seeing the opposite sex with clothes off is a turn on for all men ,don't listen to the rubbish or there is something wrong
The negatives quickly melt away to be replaced with a wonderful feeling of acceptance of yourself and others.
When visiting a different place, we look at the overall package ... culture, history, nature, and so on. Availability of naturist options is important. It's amazing how many vacation spots tout nature but have no place for naturists. It's like touting the food but having nothing good to offer those who don't eat meat. A naturist wants to experience sun, wind, water and even sand without have to constantly dress up in a costume that spoils the fun and is not as healthy for us or the environment. We appreciate having naturist options. It's nice to be thought of.
Nudist (Naturist) vacations are the best. There are no pretenses. Everyone is equal when they are nude. We have met some of the nicest people on nude vacations - and these are long term friendships. Nudity does not equate with sexuality. Despite the comment above, the number of genuine naturists (nudists) far out weigh the number of swingers on nude vacations. In fact, most resorts actively dissuade sexual activity. It is about enjoying nature and life in the most natural way possible. We have visited many locations in and around North America, (5 or 6 resorts in Ontario, Canada, one on Prince Edward Island, Canada and one in BC, Canada, 2 in Florida, USA, one in Michigan USA, two in California, USA, and two in Jamaica) as well as public nude beaches across Canada and a couple in the USA. In every almost every case, the people we met were wonderful, accepting and among the least judgmental people we have met. If you have a chance to enjoy a nudist vacation - go for it!
discrimination of single males in resorts and club , what about that ?? Swingers abound in these places, dont fool yourself , from a club member here in auckland
We love to take nudist vacations and holidays, for those of you that have not tried, you don't know what your missing. Most all nudist are very friendly and acceptive of any one. It may be hard to disrobe to start, but the really hard part is putting you clothes back on. I only did one thing wrong, that was I did not try it 40 years ago.
Overall a very good article. I own a naturist resort in Palm Springs, California called the Terra Cotta Inn sunnyfun.com so I know the naturist business. I agree that the nude vacation industry is growing very fast. For instance we have many Kiwi and Aussie guests stay at our resort. America has great nudist resorts and some nice nude beaches. If you go to aanr.com The American Association for Nude Recreation's site, you will learn all about fun places to vacation in the States. One thing I do disagree with you though, nude recreation is not just for grandparents. People of ALL AGES enjoy nudism from their 20's to 70's. For instance our manager, Patty is in her 20's. And there are nudist clubs geared to college age and 20 something nudists in the US. Once you have vacationed at a nudist resort, you'll never want funny tan lines again!

In a college football world where a team is only as good as its last win, Utah's victory over Stanford seems like it was two seasons ago rather than last month. Since the October 12 shocking upset, Utah has looked listless and banged up, losing against an average Arizona team 35-24 and failing to score a touchdown for the first time since 2010 in an ugly 19-3 loss at USC. The Utes are up against another tough test this week, taking on Arizona State at Rice Eccles, a team that has scored at least 50 points in each of the last three weeks. Will Utah be able to recapture the magic and ability they showed against Stanford? Or will ASU extend its Pac-12 winning streak to four straight games? Here's a position-by-position look at this week's matchup and which team will have the edge heading into Saturday's game:
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Travis Wilson's hand is clearly bothering him more than he is letting on and has been a huge factor in his ineffectiveness over the last few weeks. Since the Stanford game, Wilson has completed only 8-of-23 pass attempts for 66 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. Turnovers continue to plague the sophomore as he has thrown multiple interceptions in all of the Utes' Pac-12 contests this year for a total of 14. The bye week should have allowed Wilson's hand to heal and he should be better off this week, but if he's not 100 percent, the Utes will struggle to keep up with ASU's high octane offense.
Taylor Kelly has had his fair share of struggles this season, tossing four interceptions in ASU's two losses this season, but the junior is rolling after a monster performance at Washington State. Kelly shredded Washington State's secondary for 275 yards and five touchdowns through the air. He's also a threat in the rushing game, scoring two more touchdowns against the Cougars on Halloween and five total rushing touchdowns over the last three weeks. Kelly has 2,511 passing yards, 28 total touchdowns and eight interceptions this season.
Edge: ASU
Running back
Utah's success against Stanford was predicated on a strong running game, but that production has evaporated over the last two weeks. In losses at Arizona and USC, no Utah running back has rushed for more than 65 yards and only Kelvin York has scored (once, against Arizona). Bubba Poole leads the team with 495 yards rushing and the team has three viable rushers between Poole, Lucky Radley and Kelvin York, but Wilson has as many rushing touchdowns (5) as those three do combined. Utah will need to get the running game going to keep the ball out of Kelly's hands.
ASU running back Marion Grice is largely ignored from a national standpoint, but the senior is a scoring machine and the focal point of the Sun Devil offense. Grice has scored multiple touchdowns in six of ASU's eight games and leads college football in scoring with a mindboggling 18 total touchdowns. Kelly shouldered the offensive load against Washington State, but over the last three weeks, Grice has 454 total yards and five touchdowns.
Edge: ASU
Dres Anderson, who looked so dynamic in the first few weeks of the season, has been limited severely the last two weeks because of Wilson's injury. Against USC and Arizona, Anderson had only four receptions for 50 yards. In the mean time, guys like Sean Fitzgerald and Anthony Denham stepped up for a combined 124 yards and a touchdown, but the Utes will need more out of their receivers to keep up with the Sun Devils.Next Page >

It's about time Reese DID address the putrid LB situation we have here. People saying that LB is not that important, need to wake up!
I bet we go OL or corner to replace Webby next year. maybe DT or LB in the second
Or you know, we won't and then I'll be forced to put my head through my TV and jump out the window with it.
I guess it's either Johnson or Fluker or whatever. I'm feeling good about this draft..hopefully we can draft one of these OL and build from there, making our offense actually function once again.
Fantasy headline quotes:
-Insanity, with "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the background, accumulated the highest point total this week and beat Hakeem Nicks 137.95 - 100.75, overcoming an 18.22-point spread.
-Legend of Seawright Throat-Punches Mediocrity.
-20-page Eli Argument Knocks Out Insanity, Delivers an Early-Season Message
I would not bet we get a LB at all in the 1st three rounds just because the team brass never sees it as an position of need, which I find to be lunacy. Our LB's have sucked for over a decade (very much over). I would love some emphasis on this position...I would not be unhappy with LB at the first two rounds.
We can generate TE's and do a decent job at DE unless you lose heart like Tuck did.
We struggle with LB's and CB's however, LB is the weakest link on this team. We don't have any that are top 20, not sure we even have a top 32 LB when you take talent, ability, football smarts, heart and health all into account.
Our Oline is struggling and we may need to go that route...on a similar note, DT is also a position of concern. Chance Warmack at Guard maybe in the 1st. Shariff Floyd at DT (even if we need to trade up to get him) but I would be happy with Manti and hope a tope tier DT falls to us in the 2nd.

Bill Murray wouldn't be my first thought for an actor to play President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he may have been the right choice for "Hyde Park on Hudson." The role requires him to show Roosevelt as a sometimes lonely and sad man whose vacation getaway is his mother's family mansion, Springwood, near Hyde Park in upstate New York.
We're accustomed to thinking of Roosevelt as a powerful man, elected four times to the presidency, and the leader of the free world in World War II. Here we see him as the captive of a female-dominated private life, where his mother (Elizabeth Wilson); his wife, Eleanor (Olivia Williams), and his secretary, Missy (Elizabeth Marvel), pretty much run things. To this domain in the summer of 1939, he invites a sixth cousin, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley (Laura Linney), for a visit, and craftily begins a sweet romance with her under the eyes of the others, who understand much and accept much.
Murray makes a number of good choices for the character. He's smaller and thinner than Roosevelt, but wears his summer hat at a jaunty angle, keeps his cigarette holder tilted high, and has quiet humor in his speech. It was well but not widely known that Roosevelt was a polio victim, who had the cooperation of the press corps in never photographing him in his wheelchair. His convertible is modified to be driven with hands only, and he makes full use of this freedom of mobility to take fragrant Cousin Daisy for drives around the estate, where he leaves the Secret Service behind, treats her to views of his favorite landscapes, and seduces her to, as we might say, pleasure him.
To this bucolic retreat in June 1939, he receives guests whose visit could change the course of world history. England's King George V (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) make a detour from their state visit to Canada, hoping to get Roosevelt's pledge to join in the war against Hitler. This is officially a "social visit," and actually their crucial meeting with each other takes place late at night when George curses his stammer and Franklin curses his polio. Standing up with great difficulty and making his way by holding onto his desk, FDR explains that the public has little idea of his paralysis and gives a bracing talk to "Bertie."
Daisy isn't present, of course, although the whole film is presented as her point of view (after her death at 100 in 1991, the story of her fling with Roosevelt was found in a case containing her letters and journals). As Daisy, Laura Linney plays a 50-ish single woman with great sympathy and affection for her distant cousin.

28.10.08 - by James Slater - Heaven knows, the great Marco Antonio Barrera is entitled to an easy comeback fight after all the tough battles he's been in during his long, Hall of Fame career. And though most fight fans would probably have preferred it if the Mexican legend had decided against returning to the ring under promoter Don King this coming November 7th, the 34-year-old last seen losing on points in a rematch with Manny Pacquiao is, for good or bad, back.
And hasn't Barrera got himself as safe a comeback foe as possible for his bout in China. Opposing "The Baby Faced Assassin" will be 33-year-old Sammy Ventura, a fellow Mexican with a pro record of 25-19(20). Ventura, a lightweight who has lost seven of his last eleven fights, the last two via quick KO, has been beaten every single time he has stepped up in quality. Last time out, Ventura was done away with in just 2-rounds by Wes Ferguson, this stoppage loss being the sixteenth Ventura has suffered in career that began at 122 pounds back in 1994..
Oscar Larios twice stopped Ventura, in 2 rounds and then in 1 round, while Robert Guerrero stopped him in 1 round also. Jason Litzau took him out in the 2nd. These are good fighters for sure, but there are no wins against good men on Ventura's record. And to make matters worse, Ventura will have no edge in sharpness come November 7th, as he has been inactive even longer than Barrera, last fighting in September of 2007. Simply put, what chance at all does the 33-year-old have against even a way past his prime Barrera?
You have to go back to December of 1999 to find as softly a matched foe for Barrera. Back in late '99, Marco met and TKO'd one Cesar Najero inside 4-rounds. Najero was just 2-1-1 at the time and it was, according to BoxRec, later discovered that Najero was Barrera's sparring partner and the result was changed to a No-Contest/exhibition. Now, after having met and put on truly great fights with the likes of Erik Morales (three times), Naseem Hamed, Johnny Tapia, Pacquiao (twice), Rocky Juarez (twice) and Juan Manuel Marquez, Barrera takes on a man he will surely crush.
Where will this comeback lead to for one of the most popular fighters of the last ten years or so? Marco will very likely get his first win in over a year come November 7th, very possibly without even being made to box for much more than a few minutes. For being blunt, if Barrera cannot dispatch a man who has been destroyed in less than 3 rounds on no less than nine occasions, his ring return is doomed. But after Marco gets the win, what then?
We won't know a thing about what the 63-6(42) great has left come November 8th, not with him being matched as soft as he is being. In a way it's sad to see Barrera and his people being reduced to even finding such a beatable opponent as 19 fight loser Ventura. Who really wants to see such a terrible mismatch?
Unless we see a monumental upset - one even bigger than Douglas-Tyson or any other sensation you care to mention - Barrera will score his 64th win in China next month. What it will prove, however, is another thing entirely.

For loves sake, endure.
My menor Charlie once told me this very statement and it has stuck with me ever since.
In the times when enduring was the last thing I wanted to do, I remembered these words.
Lately, they are ever on my mind.
I realized I haven't posted anything in quite awhile. Its not that there has been a lack of inspiration, or even a limited supply of things to share; I've just been silent.
I think I just got exhausted with sharing my experiences, but I think that is a selfish place to be. Now I do think there are some things mean't for the soul alone, but there has been such beauty these last couple of months it would be awful of me to withhold such things.
I find myself spending my days in DC, the city that seems to move at a pace faster than most. I have been doing a coffee internship with Ebenezers Coffeehouse started by Mark Batterson. To say I love it would be a mere attempt to encapsulate my heart towards what shape this place has taken for me. I came with a few suitcases full of my clothing and a friend; I will leave having spent every day of summer drinking, talking, and learning about the chemistry of coffee. I have fallen in love with espresso even more than I thought I could and this beautiful art of coffee preparation has made me completely sure that it will forever be a large part of my life.
Drinking, breathing, sampling some of the best pieces of life.
I found beauty in community, in solitude, and in coffee. This summer has been one that goes down in the books.
There is so much beauty in Amsterdam.

HAWKSVILLE - Mike Bibby has been here before, at the controls of a team loaded with talent and options, a team still trying to rise up the NBA food chain.
He joined a loaded Sacramento Kings team in July 2001 and pushed them over the top. The Kings put together a league-best 61-21 season his first year and made the Western Conference finals, losing to the eventual NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Before Mike D'Antoni's 7-Second Phoenix Suns there were the Kings, known back then as the "Greatest Show on Court" (a title actually bestowed upon the team the year before Bibby arrived, but upheld marvelously during Bibby's prime with the franchise).
With a core group that included not only a young Bibby, but also veterans like Vlade Divac, Chris Webber, Doug Christie and up and coming talents like Peja Stojakovic and Hedo Turkoglu, the Kings had a roster primed to lead a franchise renaissance. And for a few years, even with some crushing injuries along the way, that's exactly what happened. The Kings evolved from a league doormat into a power.
Bibby said he sees some of the same good qualities in his Hawks (of the past year and a half and the team that is taking shape this summer) as he did in those teams he played on Sacramento.
Sure, the dynamics are a bit different now. For starters, he's 31 and in a totally different position (having oficially re-signed with the Hawks for three years and $18 million Monday). He's the veteran now, paired with an ensemble cast of young talent including All-Star and captain Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Marvin Williams (more on him in a minute), Zaza Pachulia, Mo Evans and newcomers like Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague.
And while it's certainly not as talented a group as Bibby played with in Sacramento, few were then or are now (when you talk about just sheer talent), even to this day, there is something there in the comparison.
"Different teams and different times," Bibby said. "But when everybody cares about the same thing [winning] … you've got something. That's all we talked about back then. And that's all we talk about around here now. The way we finished last season, the only thing on our minds was getting a chance to come back together and go back at it. That's the common thing about the teams we had in Sacramento and the team we have here right now. We're all trying to win, that's our biggest goal."
That would help explain the motivation for both Bibby and Pachulia (four years, $19 million) to re-up with the Hawks as quickly as they did. Had they played things out a little longer there might have been bigger paydays elsewhere (though the deal might not have been as long, in Bibby's case).
"The things that we have done these past two seasons, making the playoffs and playing well, it changes everything," Pachulia said. "The love you get from the fans and from people, it all changes. My first two years here, I wasn't sure if people even knew who I was, with all that goes on here in Atlanta. These last two years, it's a complete turnaround. People stop me all the time now. The one thing that's changed is the winning. When you have success as a team, everything else works out fine."
That weekend news on a potential deal for Williams was not only premature, it appears to be wildly overblown. Neither side appears ready to compromise on a deal and this thing looks like it last for a while longer.
In fact, after hearing last week that things might be coming together on the Williams front, I got the feeling Monday that things aren't nearly as close to getting done as I initially believed.
The fact remains, Williams has a sizable qualifying offer ($7.4 million), meaning he could play out the season and become an unrestricted free agent next summer – when quite a few wealthy teams will have money to spend.
The heralded free agent class of 2010 can't take all the money. The other players in the free agent mix next summer, particularly those that are unrestricted free agents, stand to cash in as well.
Josh Childress could also opt to return to Olympiakos for a second straight year and try his luck in free agency next summer. He hasn't made a decision yet, but has to make one by Wednesday.
According to my sources, the overall interest in his services this summer exceeds the level of interest from a year ago. But the same hurdles remain for any team trying to pry him away from the Hawks. He's restricted. And any mid-level type offer from another team is sure to be matched.
The one sign-and-trade deal that has been on a low rumble throughout the past two weeks has been a proposed deal with Milwaukee, where the Hawks move Childress for a package that includes veteran big man Kurt Thomas (although, if I were the Hawks, I'd need a draft pick or something else to even consider this one).
I just can't see moving a young player like Childress for a player that might not be in the playing rotation. The Bucks would have to add something to sweeten the pot for me. And even then, I still don't like the idea of moving Childress to another Eastern Conference team.
I know. I know. That still doesn't address the issue of the Hawks' glaring need for more size and help on the frontline. Getting Zaza back was huge, yet there's still a need for at least one or two more big guys – especially when you look at what Southeast Division rival Orlando has done in the last few days signing Brandon Bass and matching the offer sheet Dallas presented to Marcin Gortat.
There will be reinforcements on the way before the summer ends. There have to be if the Hawks plan on competing with the likes of the Magic, Cleveland and Boston in the upper echelon of the conference (and league, for that matter).
Restricted free agent Solomon Jones remains an option. Three years deep into his career, there is still untapped potential to work with there. Jones has matured nicely over the past couple of seasons and showed himself to be an able contributor when called upon (he was a mainstay in the rotation when Smith was hurt and didn't disappoint). His familiarity with the Hawks' program makes him an ideal fit, though he still lacks the ideal bulk (not that that has ever stopped him from delivering a hard foul).
Randolph Morris is under contract and has one last shot to prove himself worthy of a rotation spot. When the Hawks convene their mini-camp next week we'll get a closer look at blog-fav/human destroyer Garret Siler, whose work in summer league action has been impressive, so far.
There are other 7-footers on the market, guys with the size and experience to help the Hawks. Guys like Johan Petro and Mikki Moore are still out there. Petro (7-foot, 250) has been productive when used and still has enough of his career ahead of him where you can project him to do some bigger things down the road. Moore (7-foot, 225) is a veteran journeyman that knows how to fill his role, having done so for 10 different teams in his 11-year career (including a five-game stint with the Hawks during the 2002-03 season).
Any combination of three (of those five guys) gives the Hawks what they need in terms of depth at the position, which is all you're looking for at this point … unless you're talking about making a blockbuster trade for an All-Star-caliber big man (which for the umpteenth time I've been told is not going to happen).
July 13th, 2009

Wait…so we can't trade Randolph Morris for Dwight Howard? Damn…
July 13th, 2009
11:02 pm
My question, Sekou, is whether you've gotten any indication from Woodson that he'll use a deeper rotation if Sund gives him the pieces to work with. Because if he's dead set on an 8-man rotation, there's really no point in adding a guy like Moore or Petro, except as insurance in case Zaza or Horford gets hurt…

I know you've become attached to these cats but I would do the Chills for thomas deal straight up. We need help down low and Thomas is a proven vet who can give us that. We got enough swing men.
"I still don't like the idea of moving Childress to another Eastern Conference team".
Cuz, come on man. Don't think we'd be doing any extra game planning for that funky as_ jumper. Let's just get what we can get and move on. Let the fro go.

PS, I need suggestions on what else to read during my last month of freedom before I enter the "real world." I figured y'all might know a few good sports books. My sports are basketball, tennis, football, and baseball (in that order). Here's what I got already:
Seven Seconds or Less
Season on the Brink
The Breaks of the Game
Strokes of Genius
The Boys of Summer
Any other suggestions?
July 13th, 2009
11:29 pm
Thanks for the link Doc. I think Chills is very intelligent and will weight all his options and make his decision at the 11th hour. Sounds like the Hawks has made their intentions known to him and he's trying to decide to accept it or not. However, I think he's ready to comeback to the states….
July 13th, 2009
11:33 pm
Why no discussion of unrestricted big men Chris Wilcox or Drew Gooden or Ike Diogo?? I will not be impressed with either Petro or Moore … certified journeymen! Solo is not a viabile option to me either. I wouldn't mind Kurt Thomas in a sign & trade for Chills, but I don't think such a deal can be done until Aug (due to league rules).
July 13th, 2009
11:45 pm
Well how much did the Hawks (supposedly) offer Andersen, what was the scoop there?
July 13th, 2009
11:45 pm
just here to help guys.
July 14th, 2009
12:00 am
Gilk, I'm with you. Why are we not talking more about Chris Wilcox? The boy is tough, athletic and will give a major boost off the bench in place of Smoove and Horford. He kills us every time we play him, so the Hawks brass have seen him first hand. I commend what we've done so far, but to see all the other free agents signing without breaking the bank, lets get moving on this before it's too late. I don't think we'd have to overpay for him, and we'd be able to match these other teams physically and athletically with Wilcox coming off our bench. STOP WAITING AND GET THIS DONE!!!!!!
July 14th, 2009
12:14 am
Thanks Doc,
Couple of things really stuck out with me:
1. He talked of Greece a lot in the past tense.
2. He said that playing over there was much closer to college than the NBA.
How can a serious "baller" go back to that.
July 14th, 2009
12:20 am
Doc, Good stuff, Nice Toe-stepping action
I think Chills will accept any S&T at this point. I can just tell. Coming back home, re-opend his eyes.
July 14th, 2009
12:22 am
Chills kept talking about the Euro League in the past tense. Sounds like he thinks he's coming back to the NBA.
July 14th, 2009
12:23 am
Hoopshype is reporting that Greek papers are saying Chills has chosen to stay in Greece.
July 14th, 2009
12:24 am
Doc, I read up on high ankle sprains as soon as Smooves happend. I was shocked by all of the long-lasting effects that in can have in the future. You really have to make sure those thinks heal. Sometimes they never fully heal.
If you remember correctly, Smoove was shooting pretty well before he sprainde his ankle. Once he came back, his shot just wasn't the same. I have no doubt that the sprain played a part in that.
July 14th, 2009
12:25 am
It did sound as if it was in the past. He said " It was a good experience" not it is a good experience.
July 14th, 2009
12:38 am
come on, DAVID ANDERSEN people!!!
bringing him over won't break the bank. and whoever big you bring in won't break up the frontcourt of Smoove and Hoffa anyway.
let's just once and for all bring him over and give him a look. at it's worst he'll end up being a trading pawn for the future and at it's best we have some type of Luis Scola Euro bigman.
and RANDOLPH MORRIS!!! come on, give the guy a chance, he is at the very least a serviceable big and if ever he taps his potential them we have another worthwhile big in our hands.
stop looking outside, and start looking at what's already readily available.
July 14th, 2009
12:39 am
Ice, I couldn't agree with your take more. I am a bit biased on Wilcox though … I am a Terps fan!
Thanks Doc as well for that interview link. After listening to it, I have changed my tune. Why don't we sign Marvin for 5 yrs. $40MM and give Chills one of those 5 year full MLE type contracts for $34MM (yr 1 salary = $5.85MM then escalates 10% per yr)? This is the kicker though. Dump Mo Evans' $2.5MM expiring contract for a 2nd round pick just like Detroit did today with Affalo and Sharpe to Denver. He duplicates Josh C. and Josh is younger.
If you use http://www.HoopsWorld.com and roughly calculate next year's salary (including $6MM for Bibby, $4.75MM for Pachulia, and a bit over $1MM for rook Teague), you still have about $3.5MM to spend (if you assume ASG will spend up to the luxury tax level of $69.92MM). I would offer this as a 1 yr contract to Gooden, Wilcox, and David Andersen and see which one bites first.
Now this 12 man roster is one that I would be very interested to see compete against the rest of the East. Plus you have to think that the younger Hawks will continue to improve year to year. We have a lot to look forward to as Hawks fans … exciting times!
July 14th, 2009
12:43 am
Never herd me emphasizing measurements. I don't give a sh_t. I've seen what Thomas can do and i've seen what Chills can do. They are pretty much "tit" for "tat" if you asked me. Both journeymen and nothing more. Not sure why SA didn't play him more last year. He pretty much did what he always does. 17min- 5 boards, 50% FG, and 82% FT and 5 ppg.
All I know is that every year he's a pretty sought-after big for some reason. Still have yet to see or hear anybody beating down the door for Josh Childress. Chills averaged 8 points a game against "EURO PUNKS" and NBA wannabes. Actually, I'd say Thomas had the better year.
I would also rather have Wilcox but we don't have him yet. We all agree that we need more bigs and Randmo don't count.
July 14th, 2009
12:52 am
Chills' comments really creates some intrigue. It means Wednesday has some value now . LOL. Hawks fans have something to look forward to regardless of the outcome.
Sekou, I agree with you. If we are getting Kurt for Chills, he had better come with a draft pick and a 1st round too. Why would you S&T a guy to a direct competitor (Sekou's words)?
Mr. Sund, after signing Marvin and deciding on Chills, please let us have Wilcox or Gooden (as Sir Alex Ferguson of MANU says…"we're done dealing for the offseason. We won't spend money on overvalued assets"…………that's for the soccer fans).
What percentage of FA's are signed by a team that it's fans are clamouring for? Any stats on that? I bet the percentages are very low. That may not auger well for Wilcox..lol
Go Hawks!!!!
July 14th, 2009

I blame Anakin Joe for this. He waffled firm on his offer to give Chill a year's supply of afro sheen if he re-signed with the Hawks. That's why Chill stayed in Greece.

Trade Chills AND Andersen rights for picks….
July 14th, 2009

Smart move by Josh Childress. The Hawks still keep his rights next year also. They don't expire. Next year we might get something of value when there will be lots of movement going on.
July 14th, 2009
1:06 am
Can't trade Chills's rights Ariose. He's a free agent – just a restricted one. We can't trade him unless we sign him first. And since he isn't opting out of his deal with Olympiacos, we obviously won't be able to sign him…

July 14th, 2009
1:15 am
Even though Chills goes back to Grease, Hawks still have to stick his $4.8MM qualifying offer (to keep his rights) into their salary structure … ah damn! I say take remaining money (assume a bit under $3MM) and offer to a young vet big who has some potential of not being a certified journeyman …. such as Drew Gooden or Chris Wilcox. Use vet min. on Mario West and call it a day.
July 14th, 2009
1:17 am
Chills's cap hold is irrelevant since we're over the cap regardless of whether or not we renounce him. This does not affect our ability to spend the full mid-level. And since he's not under contract, Childress doesn't count a dime towards our luxury tax figure.

We NEEDS to get David Anderson.
BTW: Anyone else heard the rumor that Detroit is pushing hard to trade Rip Hamilton (plus draft picks) for Joe Johnson?

Sekou, I wouldn't sell Kurt Thomas short. He may only be 6′9″ but throughout his career he has successfully guarded taller, stronger interior players and shown an ability to knock down the mid-range jumper with regularity. I'm with Samuel — don't give a sh*t about measurements, only about results, and Thomas has always been able to body up opposing PFs and Cs.
I agree that the Hawks shouldn't trade Childress for him unless they get a pick in return as well, but keeping in mind that any reserve big the Hawks acquire would only be slated for 15-20 minutes a game, Kurt Thomas' toughness and experience would be a solid addition to the team in those limited minutes. Dude's per-minute averages were more or less in line with his career stats last year, so it's not like he's washed up.
And as for trading within the conference… I think it would be awful hard to pull off deals in any league if you shut yourself off from dealing with half the teams out there.
Of course all of this seems irrelevant now that Childress appears to be going back to Greece, but whatever…

Dumars is smoking that good sh*t if he thinks he's getting a player of Joe's caliber in return for Rip. He has painted himself into a corner by signing Gordon — at this point he has no choice but to move Rip, and I'm sure teams know this.
