NBA AM: An Early Look At The Trading Block
December 15th: Some of you are waiting for some trade activity or at least a few good juicy rumors. The truth of the situation is even as some teams flounder a bit toward the bottom of the standings, trades, especially solid ones, really won't start picking up steam until December 15. That's when the players who signed contracts this summer are eligible to be traded.
There has been one transaction – the Charlotte Bobcats traded Matt Carroll to the New Orleans Hornets last week in exchange for Hakim Warrick. The Hornets are said to be talking about a contract buyout with Carroll's camp so he may not be in New Orleans long.
There are a few players to keep an eye on, especially over the next month:
Eric Gordon – New Orleans Hornets
Gordon is rehabbing his knee in Los Angeles and the word is that he'll return to New Orleans and has every intention of playing for the team this year. That's the word.
The reality is that Gordon has never been in love with the idea of playing in New Orleans and some have suggested that this latest "setback" in his recovery from knee surgery was more about not wanting to be in New Orleans. Both sides emphatically denied this for several days and then Gordon was allowed to rehab in L.A.
There has been talk that Gordon might require microfracture surgery and that this intense rehab in L.A. was a final step toward getting him right before ending his season.
Gordon headlines the group of players that become eligible to be traded next month and there are many that believe Gordon will play a few games in mid-December to prove he's healthy as the team tries to trade him.
There are so many contradictions in this situation, but it's absolutely one of the ones to watch.
Gordon is owed $13,668,750 this season so moving him will be tough, especially because he can veto any trade for the first year of his deal New Orleans matched from Phoenix. However, there are a few teams with Traded Player Exceptions that could facilitate a move if they can find a deal.
Josh Smith – Atlanta Hawks
Smith is in the final year of his deal, which is worth $13.2 million. He also gets an additional 15 percent bonus if he is traded. The problem with all of that is that very much like Chris Paul in Los Angeles with the Clippers, Smith is on board with the long-term plan in Atlanta and is expected to ink a new deal in July when he can sign a maximum five-year deal worth almost $100 million.
Now here is the rub: Smith is under no obligation to stay in Atlanta beyond his current deal and the fear of losing Smith for nothing may become too great.
Hawks GM Danny Ferry and Smith talk on a regular basis and both continue to say that Smith's free agency is not a threat or a problem, but it very well could become one as the trade deadline gets closer.
There is little doubt that teams like the Houston Rockets or even the Los Angeles Lakers would trip over themselves to acquire a borderline All-Star like Smith, but sources in Atlanta continue to say that Smith is going nowhere and that the team is not engaging anyone on trade talks involving Smith.
Al Jefferson – Utah Jazz
Like teammate Paul Millsap, Jefferson is in the final year of his contract, which will pay him $15 million this season. The Jazz say that trading either of their veteran big men is not in the plans, and that both will be needed to make a strong postseason run.
The problem is that just like Josh Smith, there are no guarantees that either player will stay in Utah beyond their contracts and while both could be the difference between making the postseason and not, they could both walk away via free agency and leave the Jazz with nothing to show for not one, but two borderline All-Star players.
The Jazz discussed a contract extension with Millsap, who turned down the offer, mainly because he can get more years and more guaranteed dollars as a free agent.
There is an inevitability that both players will be shopped toward the trade deadline, but whether Utah actually pulls off a deal remains unclear, mainly because of how adamant they are that both players are keys to their playoff run.
The Jazz will have tons of cap flexibility and the ability to offer a fifth year in any new contract. The Jazz do have capable replacements waiting in the wings in Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter, so how the Jazz play this situation is worth watching, but it may not play out completely until the trade deadline on February 21.
Jose Calderon – Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have been trying to trade Jose Calderon for about two years now. With Calderon in the final year of his deal worth $10.5 million, the Raptors might actually be able to move him. There is no urgency in Toronto on this front, but it seems inevitable that with the start the team is on that Calderon is one of the chips the team will look to cash in to improve.
Calderon does have a 10 percent trade bonus if dealt, so he'll be slightly more expensive than his listed salary, but at the trade deadline the Raptors will have paid almost 70 percent of it.
Don't expect the Raptors to get a gem of a player in return for Calderon, but they may be able to flip him for a small forward or some depth with years left on their contracts.
Two players to keep an eye on are Wilson Chandler in Denver and Omri Casspi in Cleveland. Both have been linked to the Raptors at one point or another over the last 16 months.
Daequan Cook – Houston Rockets
The Rockets want to add one more piece. They may have to wait until next July to do so, but they do have some attractive chips like Daequan Cook, who is on an ending contract worth $3 million.
They have several players still on rookie deals like Toney Douglas, Marcus Morris and Royce White that either don't fit the big picture or are having issues adapting to what Houston needs from them.
The Rockets are willing and eager trade partners. However, they may not find a deal they can do until they get cap space, and that's something they may have as much as $20 million of next summer depending on how they handle their options and free agents.
DeJuan Blair – San Antonio Spurs
Blair is not owed much, just over $1 million, but the Spurs want a first-round pick for him and that's been a problem. The Spurs thought they had a deal with the Miami HEAT around the draft, but the HEAT opted to sell their pick rather than trade it for Blair.
It's been well documented that Blair has no ACL's in his knees, yet is able to play at an extremely high level.
There is almost no doubting that San Antonio is going to move Blair at some point, the question becomes will it happen sooner rather than later and which team ponies up a first-round pick for a player they could lose to free agency? Blair is not going to be a major dollar free agent because of the knees, but he is going to command a multi-year deal so it's not as simple as trading for him and keeping him. He's going to get offers.
The Spurs have made it clear they are not going to pay Blair, so dealing him is all but expected.
Anderson Varejao – Cleveland Cavaliers
Varejao is playing incredibly well for the Cavaliers, so thinking that you can poach him for garbage is a mistake. The Cavs are open for business, but the truth is they are not overly eager to break up their team unless it allows them to add young guys on rookie deals, gain draft picks and keep their cap flexible.
League sources said bluntly, that anything involving Varejao is also going to have to move out Luke Walton and his $6 million ending contract and return youth and draft picks.
That might be too much to ask, so it's more likely that Varejao stays where he is, but you never know how another team may view him, especially as the trade deadline gets closer.
Tayshaun Prince – Detroit Pistons
The Pistons would love to shed contract dollars. They are going nowhere fast and getting deep into free agency is starting to be the mantra. The problem with moving Tayshaun Prince, or even Charlie Villanueva for that matter, is what they are owed. Prince has three years and $21 million left on his deal, while Villanueva has two years and $16 million left on his deal.
The Pistons do have some rookie deal guys they'd move to make a deal happen, but there are not many teams tripping over themselves to get at Austin Daye or Kim English.
Detroit is poised to have some cap room to maneuver this summer, and moving Prince or Villanueva would only help that cause.
Tyrus Thomas – Charlotte Bobcats
The Bobcats would love to move Tyrus Thomas and, believe it or not, there were some teams around the draft that at least considered it as part of a bigger deal, mainly because the Cats were dangling the draft pick that became Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Thomas has three years and some $26 million left on his deal, so moving him is going to be tough.
As one insider pointed out, if the Bobcats could get a "buyer's remorse" kind of deal, they'd move on it if Thomas was sent out as part of it. So when you say, 'Who'll take Thomas?' – if Eric Gordon's knee is a problem, Charlotte might bite; if Denver wanted out of Wilson Chandler or out of JaVale McGee, Charlotte might bite. Would the Bobcats take Hedo Tukoglu off of Orlando's hands?
Charlotte is not likely to find a taker on Thomas, but that doesn't mean Bobcats GM Rich Cho and company won't try some creative ways to move him, especially if those dollars can yield a more complimentary asset.
The Bobcats want to be free agent players next summer, so temper your expectations on dumping too much garbage on the Cats.
Hedo Turkoglu – Orlando Magic
With Turkoglu sidelined with a broken hand, nothing happens with him or his remaining two years and $23.8 million contract. The saving grace for moving Turkoglu is that not all of his deal is guaranteed next year, so he'll cost $6 million to clear $12 million and the Magic can send $3 million in cash as part of a deal.
Trading Turkoglu is going to be a monumental task, one that might cost the Magic a draft pick and possibly an ending contract like J.J. Redick.
The Magic have a ton of draft picks and a monster Traded Player Exception, so they have the tools to be the middleman on almost anything that happens around the trade deadline, and offloading Turkoglu or even Glen Davis seem to be the next two objectives in Orlando's makeover.
At the trade deadline in February, the Magic will have paid the bulk of Turkoglu's deal this season, so the real economics come down to what will Orlando take back for Turkoglu and who is willing to eat the balance of his deal to clear some capspace?
The Magic are unlikely to deal early in the trade season, but there is inevitability to Orlando triggering a couple of deals as players like Turkoglu, Davis and Al Harrington don't fit the big picture going forward.
Wilson Chandler – Denver Nuggets
Chandler isn't owed a ton of money, but he's owed enough to make him expendable, especially with how the Nuggets roster is assembled. The Nuggets are looking at a hefty tax bill and a cash crunch of sorts so dumping Chandler for almost nothing in return seems to be in the cards.
Chandler is owed some $5.9 million this year and has three years and $19 million left on his deal.
The Nuggets won't just give him away, but if someone surfaced with a draft-pick-laden package that featured some ending contract money, they might get a serious audience, mainly because Chandler is not in the long-term plan.
The Toronto Raptors have had eyes for Chandler for some time, so they could be a logical trade partner closer to the trade deadline when the bulk of the salaries owed this year are paid.
Derrick Williams – Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves have had a ton of injuries and word is they may lose Brandon Roy to arthroscopic knee surgery too.
To say Derrick Williams has not lived up to his hype as the second overall pick is something of an understatement, and sources say if he could return a serious veteran player then the Wolves would move him.
With so many injuries, it's unlikely the Wolves try to force something in the next 30 days. But once Kevin Love returns to the lineup, Williams could be the next chip cashed in Minnesota.
Williams is still on his rookie deal and is owed some $4.8 million this season, so he's not going to return a ton of value by himself, but it does seem that the Wolves want to get a little more veteran, and that may mean the end of the road for Williams in Minnesota.
Wes Johnson – Phoenix Suns
Wes Johnson is a much better fit in Phoenix than he was in Minnesota. However, he's still playing behind Michael Beasley and in some cases Jared Dudley and the team passed on his contract option. That does not bode well for a long-term future.
The Suns do not have a long-term plan for Johnson and everyone involved knows it. He is more likely to be traded, and you can expect that Phoenix isn't going to look for much for a guy they don't necessarily want.
Johnson is not owed a ton and he's an ending contract worth $4.285 million.
It is far more likely than not that Phoenix deals Johnson, the question is who is the taker and will they view him as anything more than a cap clearing deal?
Francisco Garcia – Sacramento Kings
So you want Tyreke Evans? You are going to have to take either Francisco Garcia's contract or John Salmons' deal as well.
Garcia's deal is the most palatable, because the final year is a team option, but it's become clear that if the Kings are going to move Evans, and sources say they are not there yet, it's going to have to help them clean up the roster as well as return favorable assets.
Salmons has three years and some $22.6 million left on his deal, although the final year only has $1 million in guaranteed money. This is likely the deal the Kings want to move, but Garcia might be the easier pill to swallow and return the most value.
Given where the Kings find themselves in the new season, a transaction or two is almost inevitable. The question is will the Kings pull the trigger early and how much luggage are they going to force on the team that wants Evans?
Sticking By Him: In most cases if a player has a major offseason surgery and is on a non-guaranteed deal, a team generally cuts that player lose, especially an undrafted player like Julyan Stone of the Denver Nuggets.
Stone underwent hip surgery this offseason and missed most of the Nuggets' offseason program. That's generally the kiss of death for a young guy trying to keep his job. However, the Nuggets not only hung on to Stone through preseason, he made the final roster cuts.
Julyan talked with HOOPSWORLD about his rehab and what he hopes he can bring to the table once he's back to 100 percent.
Roy To Have Surgery: Jason Quick of The Oregonian is reporting that Minnesota Timberwolves guard Brandon Roy will undergo right knee surgery this week.
Roy has played in five games for the Timberwolves after signing a a two-year, $10.4 million contract this past summer.
The surgery that's expected this week will be Roy's seventh arthroscopic knee procedure. A timetable for his return still remains unclear.
Roy banged knees with a teammate last week and has had pain and swelling in the knee ever since.
D'Antoni Puts Off Debut: New Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni opted not to coach his first game last night, opting to watch the game in the locker room with his two injured point guards Steve Nash and Steve Blake.
D'Antoni, who had a knee replacement procedure last month, is still struggling with the rigors of coaching, and while he's been able to run practices for the Lakers since his hiring, he's struggling with fatigue related both to his surgery and to the pain meds he's been taking to manage it.
"I'm a little disappointed, I wanted to be on the bench," D'Antoni told Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com. "After talking with [Lakers trainer] Gary Vitti … he convinced me a little bit not to do it."
"The biggest problem I have is just energy kind of waning toward the end [of the game]," D'Antoni said.
"I do get practices OK and all that's good, the next step will be a game," D'Antoni said. "That can be Tuesday, that can be Wednesday, I don't know yet but with Gary, we'll figure it out."
D'Antoni did add his brother Dan D'Antoni to the coaching staff and also announced that Bernie Bickerstaff, who has been acting as the interim coach since Mike Brown's firing, will be retained for the balance of the season.
The Lakers face the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, which could be D'Antoni's first game. The team has a three-game, four-day road trip starting on Wednesday.

Shell Pearl Nautilus
A beautiful piece for meditation and inspiration. The nautilus, from the Greek for sailor, is a nocturnal creature, spending most of its life at ocean depth. Its shell, lined with mother-of-pearl, grows into increasingly larger chambers throughout its life and so has become a symbol for expansion and renewal. Sometimes called a living fossil for its long existence on the planet, the beautiful and proportionally perfect nautilus shell exemplifies a special kind of spiral curve which appears in nature called a logarithmic spiral, or miraculous spiral. One of this spiral's unique mathematical properties is that the size of the spiral increases, but its shape is unaltered with each successive curve.

Tibetan Copper Prayer Wheel - 12 inch
Our Tibetan Buddhist hand-held prayer wheel, sometimes referred to as a Mani wheel, is 12 inches long and is constructed of copper, brass and wood. The Buddhist mantra Om Mane Padme Om is written around the outside of prayer wheel. The handle serves as axis around which the cylinder can revolve, being set in motion by a small weight which is attached to it by a chain. The cylinder contains a paper roll on which Buddhist texts are printed. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the lineage texts regarding prayer wheels, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.

Maritim Hotel Munich Guest Reviews (6)
I've always had very pleasant stays whenever I stay at a Maritim Hotel, however, (but as with most hotels) the gym is lacking. Restauraunt on site was fantastic as well as the lounge. The neighbourhood, as well as most of Munchen, was too much like Detroit.

Hotel is walking distance to Train Station and OktoberFest (good), and next door to a strip club (bad). I expected more for the nightly rate that I paid...

Loved it - one of the bes hotels we stayed in on our 7 week adventure.

First impression? Hotel has flags outside on the fasade. they are dirty, torn and some flags missing. Entry is in a courtyard, where you couldn't park the car. Checkin was very friendly and very swift. The hotel is reasonably clean, although there were some stains on the carpet and the desk was chipped. Minbar was not replenished during my 3 day stay Room had air con (which worked) and you could also open the window (which is a plus) Carpark is a public car park, but with easy access to hotel. There was no "hotel discount" on the parking charges. Fitness studio (hard to find on the 1st floor and no clear signs), was a token "fitness studio" located in a former small hotel room with poor ventilation, no shower - meaning that you would have to back to your room in your sweaty gym clothes. Breakfast was a whopping 22 Euro (I gave that a miss) Checkout processing was friendly and very swift. Would I stay there again? Possibly

LAS VEGAS (AP) - An online dating service says a Las Vegas woman has no legal basis for her lawsuit seeking $10 million after she was matched with a man who hid in her garage and brutally attacked her.
Mary Kay Beckman filed suit in U.S. District Court on Friday accusing Match.com of failing to disclose dangers of online dating.
She said she'd known Wade Ridley only eight days when she broke up with him in September 2010. Four months later he stabbed her 10 times. He later was charged with murdering a woman in Phoenix. He died in prison last year.
Match.com said in a statement Monday that Beckman's experience was horrible but the lawsuit is "absurd." It said Beckman was a victim of a "sick, twisted" man with no known criminal record.

Located in the heart of Speyside, Scotland's most prolific whisky region, Ballindalloch Castle is one of the few private castles in Scotland that has been lived in continuously by the Russell and the MacPherson- Grant families who founded it. Originally a fortified tower house that was erected around 1546, Ballindalloch underwent a significant period of renovation and extension during the Victorian era which transformed it into the sumptuous country retreat that stands today.
In spite of its history and grandeur, Ballindalloch remains first and foremost a beloved family residence and there are plenty of personal heirlooms and memorabilia belonging to the current occupants scattered amongst the general finery. Highlights include a fine collection of 17th century paintings, one of the finest country house libraries in all of Scotland, the grand dining room with its magnificent fireplace, the vaulted hall and the delightful nursery with its antique toys.
The Rivers Spey and Avon run through the estate offering excellent fishing and the cattle that graze here belong to the oldest Aberdeen Angus herds in the world. The beautifully maintained walled and rock gardens are spectacular when in full bloom and offer a tranquil haven during the summer months.
The castle shop stocks a wide selection of quality Scottish crafts and goods including luxury cashmeres, tartans, jewellery and the popular I love Food recipe books written by the present Lady Laird, Mrs Clare Macpherson-Grant Russell. Light refreshment is available in the castle tearoom.

qPCR from HEK cells transfected with Plasmid
Posted 01 March 2013 - 08:22 AM
I want to do qPCR on a gene which is encoded on a plasmid. I have HEK cells transfected and subsequently isolated RNA and digested the extract with DNase. Before reverse transcription I perform a control pcr to check there is no more plasmid present. This is how it should be... Is this possible? How big is the risk that there is still some plasmid left and therefore invalidate my qPCR results? Any tricks or special things I have to take care of?
Posted 01 March 2013 - 09:08 AM
You isolate RNA, treat with DNase, transcribe and include RT- control (ideally for every sample).
If your RT- is negative, then the signal you got is only from mRNA/cDNA.
For initial testing of DNase efficiency you do this with only few samples, any samples, not with the experimental setup.

Has anyone tried it?
Posted 04 March 2013 - 02:29 AM
You probably know how qPCR works, but seems you don't know how RT- works, otherwise you wouldn't ask about that again.Thank you, I know how qPCR works. Anyway, my concerns were more about that plasmid DNA is not efficiently removed during RNA isolation and DNase can have problems with degrading plasmid DNA, at least this is what I read elsewhere. I wanted to know if there are any specific tricks to avoid these troubles.
I was simply trying to understand clearly what are you planning to do, by the way.
We were doing experiments on cells transfected by plasmid, isolated RNA on Qiagen columns with on-column DNAse treatment (which removes most, but not all DNA) and then additionaly treated by Turbo DNA-Free kit from Ambion as we treat all our RNAs with that.
RT- control was always negative, so we didn't have any problems with DNase not digesting plasmid using our setup.
Our country has a serious deficiency in lighthouses. I assume the main reason is that we have no sea.
I never trust anything that can't be doubted.

Te deseo suerte para que a la
Te deseo suerte para que a la proxima les conozcas y tengas fotos con ellos ;)
Te acabo de seguir en twitter :D
Las fotos si eso las subo a facebook :) En la que estoy con Pierre salgo fatal -.-'
Hola! jajaja Hacia mucho que
Hola! jajaja Hacia mucho que no me metia porque he tenido el ordenador roto...Y no me habia dado cuenta que habian puesto los comentarios otra vez xD Al final fuistes a verles cuando tocaron alli? Yo este año ya les he visto 3 veces jajaja xD Este viernes les vi jeje y al final si fui a Bilbao... PORQUE ME TOCO EL M&G!! Les he conocido y tengo fotos con ellos *_* son geniales!
My name is miss Jelin, i am looking for a new friend i saw your profile today and became interested in you,i
will also like to know you the more,and i want you to send a mail to my email
address so i can give you my picture for you to know whom l am.Here is my email
address (email@example.com)
I believe we can move from here.I am waiting for
your mail to my email address (email@example.com) Remember the distance, color or age
does not matter but love matters allot in life Please reply me with my email
Well I'm not that strong. I can carry anybody if I don't move (I should try with Pierre xd) but it gets more complicated if that person and I want to go "for a ride"... David took fright, bent down and we fell. He managed to jump but I grazed myself on the floor. My knees are... hum so sexy now, all red, blue and everything !
glad to hear that. :) and, haha, glad that you're back as one of the most active fans if that pleases you.
all fine. I sure can see that. your crafts are amazing. mind if I ask whether you like to sew or not? :D cause it seems like you need to sew the logo to your bag there. I tried sewing before but it's not that neat... especially when compared to my friend's result. XD haha.
in the end, you really are great at crafts. thank you back about the comment. and I'm doing great. finally I'm able to go here again and reply. that always relieves my stress, so thanks for asking. ;)
Yessss!!! Si lo he visto entero pero la verdad es que no me he enterado de mucho xD
Me conecte al chat 1h antes y estabamos solo españoles y un par de portuguesas ablando en español xD
Y al final a Seb se le ha ido la oya y a cortado la conexion a medias de despedirse que creo que lo ha puesto en 1 twitter xD
haha. thank you for replying again and making me laugh. XD so how do you fare now? did your comeback make you become one of the most active fans again? it sure is funny that you mentioned that. -slapped-
thank you. and now that I'm replying you, I also wanna say that your bag is pretty cool. you sure have a lot of talent on making crafts. and the results are so cool to see so thanks for sharing them. :)
Pues a mi el pop asi solo no me gusta mucho... igual en plan alguna cancion y eso pero ya esta :)
Yo en realidad grupos de los que me gusten mas o menos todas las canciones son SP (evidentemente xD), Paramore, y las antiguas de Mcfly (no se el nuevo disco no me gusta mucho...) :D
y de los demas pues escucho canciones aleatorias xD
La verdad es que no mucho... ! año o así :)
porque les había escuchado antes canciones y me encantaban pero no sabia de que grupo eran xD
Y entonces empece a buscar canciones para tocar con la guitarra y haciendo 1 poco el tonto me las encontré y me encantaron todas las canciones y desde entonces pues son mi grupo favorito :D
Y tu?? Desde cuando les escuchas???
Tienes que ir a verlos en cuanto puedas porque tocan genial en directo!!!! :D
Hubo 1 momento bestial!!! De repente dejan de tocar y empiezan a decir Pierre: say ooooo,ooo y todo el mundo repitiendo y así varias veces y de repente David se mete la mano por el pantalón se agarra y dice lo mismo pero super agudo xD y to el mundo repitiéndolo xD y de repente se saca la mano y se la chupa!! se la enseña a Pierre como diciendole que si quiere chuparla y pierre le pone cara de asco xD
y hace lo mismo con Jeff y Jeff pone cara de asco también ... y de repente enseña la mano al publico y todos hicimos yeeeeeeeessss!!!! xD fue buenísimo LOL
me, too... ^_^;
and yeah, it's also so cool that we seem to be okay with each other, even in our crazy phases. heh. and thanks back. I'm really happy to remind you and I actually wonder how'd you describe the kind of craziness that, for you, exceed the limit. :P
and thanks. :) I'm also glad that it didn't offend you and the same to you about the attention. well, then, hope you can keep enjoying your visit to this site and thanks again for replying to me. nice that you're here again. ;) haha.
heh. :) and yeah, Scooby-Doo is sure a cartoon that a lot of people watch during their childhood and it's just so cool that SP was in it, so I agree with you. I guess we don't realize this back then, hmm? ;3
haha, I guess we all are a little crazy. XD and if you feel like you're leaving the subject, erm... if I look back to our previous messages, I think you said something about the Scooby-Doo episode where SP was in that's not dubbed kinda confuses you, then I asked why is that. :) heh.
nice to know. ;D but, to think of it again, I can still see the guys' tweets even though I don't have an account, so... yeah, I think I won't put much use of my twitter. ^_^; and that's really cool! thanks for telling me and I think I've heard of that before. well... I don't think I'll participate -sorry ^_^;- but hope the astronauts on twitter can make it a TT. the guys would sure all be happy. haha.
and, haha, thank you so much for entertaining me again! X'D I literally laughed at the 'Super Paty' part, with no intention to offend, of course. and thank you too for your attention. ;)
yeah, I guess it's just harder for us to remember the technical stuffs or details but easier to remember how we feel when we first experience things... probably the same with Scooby-Doo. haha. XD
thank you back. and... co-confusing? was it because of the language being English? :/
yeah, it sure is; and good thing that SP can always give us the summer paradise we always wait for, even for just a while. XD and yeah, it's always nice to hear such stuffs from the guys... I think so, too. :) and about twitter, heh, I do have one, but I don't think I'll use it that much, anyway... so... yeah... ^_^;
heh, thanks. that's actually cool to imagine our parents' reactions if we tell them that we're astronauts. XD -slapped- they'll probably be surprised. haha. cool that you imagine such thing. :) and thank you so much for sharing all that with me.
yeah, I think it's cooler too when I saw the dubbed version -even though I can't remember much- of the series back when I was still in elementary. :) it's a more recognizable language, but English is cool, too.
and that's so nice to hear that you've actually seen the English one. well, now that you say it, I think there's no big problem cause you already heard the boys' dubs. I found them so funny. haha. XD how about you, if I may know?
yeah, they sure are. and no worries. I don't think getting out of topic is that annoying and I don't really think you did, too, so... erm... thank you? :D -doesn't seem like the right respond; slapped; haha-
thanks back. :) and... yeah... I guess it's true that we always have to leave our summer paradise someday, but hope we have the greatest time there and can return soon. and I agree with you. 'Astronaut' sure is something that a lot of people can relate to. also thank you for telling me about Jeff's tweet. it's so cool to know that he wrote that. :'D so humble...
but I just sometimes wonder what someone who doesn't know SP would think if he/she stumbles upon SP fans talking about themselves being astronauts. I mean, perhaps they'll go like 'did these people actually go to the space?' or get confused or else. fun to know, I guess... :)
thank you, too! ;D
De nada!! :) By the way, I'm doing a contest and I need views on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At8UUeS-mQs)...If you would post it on Twitter, it would be very nice!!! :) Haha :P
well, now that I hear it from you, I believe it. :) although... that does mean that you can't hear the real voice of the guys, doesn't it? hmm... it's one of the most exciting aspect, but I guess seeing their graphic is already something cool, so great that you've seen it. ;3
I agree with you. they sure are awesome songwriters. and it's cool that the public responds to their songs nicely, too. and I don't think you're getting out of the topic, but I'm always okay with that as long as the previous topic isn't forgotten. ;D haha.
thank you. hope you have a great holiday too back then. X) and yeah, we should have it for a year! haha. -slapped- and of course it won't be odd to talk to astronauts; SP astronauts, that is, haha. XD sometimes the literal meaning of 'astronauts' sure can be confusing and funny in the SP world.
and thank you so much. all is well here and hope the same for you. :)
eh? so... was the episode that Simple Plan was in dubbed into Spanish? ^_^; heh, thank you for the thought, by the way. it sure is cool to see the third part, but I already saw the whole episode just a week ago when they played it on TV, so... yeah for both of us...? XD haha.
yeah, writing songs from the heart... -sigh- they must've had such beautiful hearts, then...
heh. :) thank you back. and thank you. I sure enjoyed my holiday. now I wish to have more... -slapped- and thank you for understanding. I guess it sure is true that life can really get busy sometimes... -sigh- I miss talking to people here...
thank you. :3 hope this year will be another great one for all of us.

Press Release #12-030
"The Big Picture App?," an original, multi-media production conceived and directed by St. Mary's College of Maryland's Professor of Theater and Dance, Merideth Taylor, opens Thursday, March 29 at 8 p.m. in the Bruce Davis Theater, Montgomery Hall Fine Arts Center, on the college campus.
Produced by the Department of Theater, Film, and Media Studies, "The Big Picture App?" is Taylor's last main-stage show for the college before she retires from teaching at the end of spring semester. It performs March 29-31 and April 5-7 at 8 p.m. and April 1 and 7 at 2 p.m.
Taylor is no stranger to original, collaborative theater work at the college. It's been 22 years since "The Big Picture" hit the boards – her first collaborative performance project with student writers and performers that focused on topical and local social justice issues. "The Bigger Picture" (1995) and "Crossroads: On Common Ground" (1999) soon followed.
"The Big Picture App?," Taylor's latest and final project, completes the cycle. "The Big Picture App?" explores—often satirically—urgent personal, social, political, and economic issues that affect us individually and collectively as local as well as global citizens: environmental crises, toxicities in our food, the popular media's oppressive messages about our bodies, the ubiquity of technology in our lives, earning a just and living wage.
"It is such an interesting challenge," Taylor says, "to develop something new and topical with a group of student writers-performers, many of whom have been working on this project since the fall of last year. The process is invariably rich and incredibly rewarding, both for me and the students."
To show their appreciation to members of the college's maintenance, housekeeping, and grounds staff and their families, the cast and crew of "The Big Picture App?" will hold a staff appreciation performance on Friday, March 30 at 8 p.m. Members of the maintenance, housekeeping, and grounds staff and their families will receive complimentary tickets to that evening's show. An informal discussion with the cast of "The Big Picture App?" about issues raised by the play will follow. Refreshments will be provided.
"Like a good 'app,'" director Taylor says, "the messages in the show will hopefully be useful, engaging, and entertaining to all."
To reserve tickets for "The Big Picture App?," contact the Theater Box Office at 240-895-4243 or email email@example.com. Ticket prices are $4 for students, faculty, SMCM staff, senior citizens, and Arts Alliance members and $6 general admission. The performance on Friday, March 30 is free to members of the college's maintenance, housekeeping, and grounds staff. Reservations are encouraged.

This book offers the first detailed analysis of China's insider trading law, explaining what constitutes insider trading in China and what the consequences of unlawful insider trading might be there. More importantly, it suggests ways in which the law might more effectively prevent the occurrence of insider trading in the first place. Among the elements of the legal framework addressed by the author are the following:
• Who benefits from insider trading
• The issue of when information becomes public
• A comparative law treatment of the underlying theories of insider trading liability
• Private civil liability
• Damage caps
• Measures of recovery
The author's approach focuses on China's readiness to adopt foreign ideas without adequately assimilating them into the local context. In this connection, he sets out valuable reform proposals, using authority from field interviews with Chinese stakeholders as well as from comparative case law.

Cody Hinkel and Kelsey Mings were given the trophies for the top athletes at Henry County High School during Honors Night last month, officially joining a long list that includes some of the best athletes that have walked the halls at HCHS.
After turning the Henry County boys' basketball program from a 3-23 team in 2005 to 22-9 in 2009, Jason Holland has decided to back away from the position and accept the coaching job at nearby Oldham County.
Henry Baughman
After an outstanding performance in the USA Junior Nationals all-state high school basketball competition in Bowling Green, Justin Webb has been invited to participate in the prestigious USA Junior National International Sports Festival at the University of Illinois in Champaign, IL, from July 27-August 2. Webb, the son of Diann Harlow and Tommy Webb, is currently a sophomore at Trimble County High School.
It was a speech Jason Holland didn't want to give, but one he had to — saying goodbye to the players he helped mold the last five years.
On Friday, May 22, Holland told the Henry County boys' basketball players that he was resigning and had accepted a new coaching position at Oldham County. This came just two hours after he told the Oldham players he was their new head man. Holland, who transformed the Henry program from the worst record in the 8th Region to the second best, made the tough decision to move on. It wasn't an easy one.
It's been a roller-coaster season for the Eminence archery team this school year, which started with the sudden death of its head coach, Dewayne Douglas, on Jan. 9, and culminated in a trip to the National Archery in the Schools Program national tournament on May 8-9. The Warriors have experienced the highs, along with the lows.
For the first time this season, the Eminence Warriors just went out and played baseball with every pitch and every swing of the bat. And because of that leave-it-all-on-the-field attitude, coach Mark Payton could not have been more pleased.
Henry County's record-setting softball season came to a screeching halt Monday afternoon in the opening round of the 8th Region tournament as Walton-Verona handed the Ladycats a 4-1 loss this Memorial Day.
The Ladycats won the 8th Region All "A" Classic, finished fourth at the state tournament for the smallest 125 schools in Kentucky, won their fourth straight 31st District title and finished with the most wins in school history with their 24-12 mark. But they had a tough time against Walton-Verona Monday night in the season finale.
A determined Brittany Crawford blasted out of the blocks, clipped the first hurdle and settled into a quick rhythm for the next nine as she closed in on the competition and finished with a perfect lean at the line. In a 100-meter hurdles race that was too close to call, it took a photo finish to decide the outcome.

leaders of the European Union must be grateful that they never allowed Turkey
to join. The recent crisis between her and Israel could have easily transformed
into something humiliating for the conservative governments of France, Germany,
Italy and United Kingdom, which is pretty much the Europe that would have
mattered. Imagine what would have happened if the Italian Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi sent the Israeli envoy back to Tel Aviv and stated that from now on
the Italian army will escort aid flotillas to Gaza. Or better, try to visualize
him visiting first Cairo, and then crossing the border into Gaza to shake hands
with a few members of the Hamas. It was about to happen in the Turkish case and
right before the United Nations is going to vote on recognizing Palestine as a
the recent scuffle between Turkey and Israel, one thing became clear; Turkey is
a regional asset far bigger than even it could have imagined. Its stable
economy puzzles and generates jealousy among the European states who are
struggling with serious monetary crises, like Greece, Portugal and Spain. Its
blunt unilateral relations with the US are one of kind among the Muslim
nations, making many envious and infuriating Israel. Its democratically elected
government's capability of dictating its will on the historically arrogant
Turkish Military invokes admiration and discontent, both at home and abroad.
would have thought that once its secret service aiding Turkey to capture the leader of the Kurdish insurgency, today Israel could draft a Plan C to aid the Kurdish insurgency and destabilize Turkey, so we all can return to the previous epoch of friendly alliance? Who could have thought that Kurds, despised by Turks
at all levels, still fighting to express themselves in their own language, still
fighting to name its own children in its own language, and considered a
nuisance to the political establishment of the entire region burning with
revolutionary upheaval deliver Israel what it needs? Who could have thought in
the grand scheme of things, the Israeli Foreign Ministry would pull the Kurdish
card so it can "normalize" its relations with its strongest regional ally? In
all honesty, only a schmuck like the Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman
could have imagined such fantasy. Surely, all our old friends whose houses we
set on fire return to us as friends again.
of the major lessons of the Hebrew Bible appears to be lost to Prime Minister
Benjamin Netenyahu's lot: times change and one must adapt to change. Israeli
conservative political elite, having grown used to considering itself beyond
the influence of history, is ignoring what is happening at their door step. The
Middle East is no longer what it used to be. The same can be said about Europe
and the US. The economic system which drives our daily lives, which used to
rely and support the well-established local and international meritocracies, is
in trouble. Even the top practitioners of capital accumulation are
disillusioned with the world we live in today. The unequal distribution of
wealth is grotesque, and everything in the news suggests that the masses are
discontent. Everyone wants to live in a better world, where there is affordable
food, housing, education, healthcare and natural environment. Enter Israel,
where an out-of-date political elite is perpetuating a dangerously out-of-touch
vision. One wonders if Netanyahu really thinks the Arab spring is a uniquely
Arab phenomenon. Is the irony of the recent protests wholly lost on the Israeli
conservative elite, that a nation, which is illegally occupying the land of
another nation, was protesting that it cannot afford its own homes? More terribily, what was the Plan D? What were they planing to do if using the Kurds wouldn't work?

Topic Review (Newest First) |
Freestep |
Finally, a grooming sticky! YAY! I can put all my grooming spiels down for posterity. The best tools for grooming a GSD are a soft slicker, a firm slicker for the thicker areas, undercoat rakes (for longcoats), Zoomgroom or rubber curry comb, and a shedding blade or Furminator. THE FURMINATOR: The thing to remember with the Furminator is to use a light touch, like you are just petting the dog with it. You don't need to use a lot of pressure; keep your wrist relaxed and just let the tool do the work. Don't go over one spot for too long, and be extra careful over any bony areas. 5-10 minutes of Furminating once or twice a week is plenty. If you over-furminate, you may end up with bald spots or skin irritation. You definitely can remove more hair than you mean to if you aren't careful! You will hear people say that the Furminator "ruins" the coat. This is not true if you use it properly. I'm a professional groomer, and I use the Furminator all the time with NO coat damage whatsoever. It is not designed to cut hair, only to grab the loose hairs while allowing the live hair to slide through undamaged. CARE OF LONGCOAT GSDs: Coaties *seem* not to shed as much, because the undercoat that dies tends to get stuck in the longer hairs, and sits there. This means a coatie needs MORE brushing than a short coat; even though they seem to shed less, that coat will quickly become tangled and matted with the dead undercoat stuck in it. If you bathe your coatie at home, make sure you brush and comb through the coat all the way down to the skin both before and after bathing. HIGH-VELOCITY FORCE DRYERS This the best "brush" you can ever use on a GSD. A high-velocity "force" dryer is simply a very powerful blow dryer that blasts out high-pressure, room-temperature air (not heat). Use it after the bath to dry the dog from the root of the hair to the tip, or use it on a dry dog to blast out dead hair, dust and debris. An HV dryer will cut down on brushing by about 90%. The little orange Metro dryers are about $140, on up to the K9III, the most powerful dryer available to consumers at around $400. Buy the most powerful dryer you can afford, and you'll never regret it. GETTING YOUR DOG USED TO THE HV DRYER First thing you need to do is tie her to something sturdy so she can't run away. Don't let her get into the habit of bolting every time something scares her. Then, put cotton in her ears. Then, turn the dryer on the lowest setting and let her get used to the sound of it. While the dryer is running, scratch her rump, right above the tail, this is a "magic spot" for dogs and should calm her down. Once she's calm, replace the scratching hand with the dryer nozzle, making the same scratching motion with it. If she spooks, just go back to scratching her rump. But be persistent, and don't give up, no matter what she does, or she will learn that she can get her way by acting up. Eventually, she will begin to notice that the dryer doesn't hurt, and in fact feels good. Once she calms down and allows you to blow air on her rump, give her lots of praise and encouragement, perhaps a high-value treat, and slowly, gradually, work your way down her rear legs, then up her back. Don't go anywhere near her head yet. Work your way around to her sides and underside, then that "magic spot" on her chest, between her front legs, where dogs love to be scratched. Slowly, gradually, work your way up toward the neck, avoiding the ears. You may be able to dry her head a little, or you may not for the first time. If at any point she starts to freak out, move the nozzle back to one of the "magic spots" on the rump or the chest. Keep going until she is at least 90% dry. I have not yet met the dog that hasn't learned to tolerate the blow dryer when this method is used. In fact, most big dogs realize that the dryer feels good, like a massage, and many will lean into it. I have a lot of big dogs who LOVE to have their necks blowdried, right behind the ear, and will stretch out their neck for me. Most of my big dogs willingly jump on my drying table when it's time for the blow dryer, in fact sometimes when I want them to get into the tub, they'll keep trying to jump on the drying table. When you're all done, give her a high-value treat and lots of praise. Eventually she will learn that grooming time is a rewarding experience and she will look forward to it. |

For weekly or daily maintenance, you need a basic rake. For actual "grooming" (ie, bath time or preparing for a show), a high velocity dryer is absolutely the best tool. Even a cheaper one is amazing, not for drying (completely drying my GSD still takes an hour) but for blowing out the undercoat. It also lets me see the dog's skin so I can check for any ticks, cysts, or other problems while I'm blowing the coat. I have a non-GSD with long hair and super thick undercoat and the dryer actually blows tangles and smaller mats out of his fur. It's much more effective than brushing and the dog doesn't get "brush burn" (both my dogs will get irritated skin if I brush for too long). |
Castlemaid |
The double row undercoat rake is my favorite brush! People were actually commenting on how much nicer Gryffon's coat looked after I started using one. For nails, I'm a convert to dremeling. For a GSD, a regular dremel works better as opposed to the ones made specifically for dogs and available at pet shops. Someone shared this link on this site a while back, and after reading the linked article I started dremeling my dogs' nails myself. How to Dremel Dog Nails @ DoberDawn.com |
shepherdmom |
For years I just used a slicker brush, the rescue I volunteer at had an awesome undercoat rake that worked so well I went out and got one. It is awesome. My dogs love it and between it and the slicker brush they have never looked better. |
doggiedad |
part of grooming starts inside. whatever your dog's intake is make sure it's high quality. i use an under coat comb and a pin brush on my dog. i comb/brush him in all directions with the under coat comb. then i brush him in the direction the coat lies. i use the pin brush to smooth him out. i brush him 3 to 4 times a week. |
