Are Warriors better without David Lee?
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
So Aldridge wants out of Portland.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
We gave up a lot of assets in the salary dump, so I don't know what's is going to take to get em. At this point it might make sense for Minnesota and Portland to swap forwards, but Portland has to give a little more.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
I think Aldridge isn't as good as Love. Nowhere near actually. I think Portland will ask too much for him and I don't think he is worth more than Lee straight up really, not sure how he'd fit in here.
migya make the ring fall on ya |
Even though they play the same position, they're different players. I Lee fits better in our scheme because of his ability to pass in the high post and he's more of a pick and roll type player whereas Aldridge is more of your pure post player. Personally I'm always in favor of basketball plays over isolation. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
Lee fits the team as it is, a player like Aldridge I think would take away from the others. You want the game to flow among all players as much as possible and Lee's very good offensive game allows that, along with Bogut's. Unless it's for Love I want to keep Lee at least one more year and see how it turns out. migya make the ring fall on ya |

Amaze 4G, iPhone 4S, Nokia N8, Nokia N9 camera phone shootout
Summary: Cameras on today's smartphones are getting better all the time and in many cases people are leaving their point and shoot behind. I decided to test out some of the newest devices and put together an image gallery and video below from the HTC Amaze 4G, Apple iPhone 4S, Nokia N8 Symbian device, and Nokia N9 MeeGo device. There are other contenders, but these four are representative of the latest and greatest available today.
8 of 29
ImageThe Nokia N8 doesn't do very well with macro shots, but I understand there are 3rd party software options you can install and try out with it to make them better.

So what are we going to do now ??????
Well were now thirty years down the line we reduced our co2 emmissions in line with all the scientist predictions and we are now living in this wonderfully green environment whereby practically alll we use has been recycled, practically everything we consume comes from renewable resources. and are quite proud of ourselves that all the revenues we have paid have generated this wonderful environment, with one small detail!!!!!. The polar ice caps are continuing to melt, the co2 levels continue to rise, and global warming is increasing bringing about the inevitable climate change. We may have made one small error in as much as we flattered ourselves into thinking that we were significant enough to be able to control this wonderful planet we inhabit. Well perhaps if we are that good we could adjust the output of the sun or maybe stop the oceans from producing quite as much water vapour, or even purge the planet of all it stored methane and co2. Maybe not, as not only is it unstoppable, but also it doesnt generate any form of revenue, or give governments the right to try and control global resources.
But just supposing we were so busy admiring the emporers new clothes, that we missed the fact that what was happening was a very natural phenomenum, and overlooked that this planet is actually many millions of times older than mankind, it as here long before we were and will be there long after we have departed, and guess what? it will continue to evolve and mankinds occupation will be no more of a blip its history than a ripple on a pond. No ammount of scientific pontificating (with all due respect to the scientific community) can ignore the fact that this beautiful planet created us and not the other way around, and neither will any ammount of intervention prevent it from evolving in her own wonderful way. Maybe if we want to stay around and enjoy her splendour for a while longer then our efforts would be better spent understanding that what is happening is far beyond our capability to manage, and adapt to the changing sea levels and warmer climates that will ultimately prevail. I will close by saying that i do believe we should live in a greener environment and reduce the ammount of energy we consume but these reasons of sustainability for future generations. But please i think it is a bit rich when the wealthy and powerful governments tell me that i am poisoning this planet by leaving a light on, whilst they continue to dump nuclear waste in her belly and pollute the oceans on a monolthic scale. |

Hugo school board, city council agree on $1.4M bond for September vote |
Friday, 21 June 2013 00:00 | |||
HUGO ––Members of the Hugo board of education and the Hugo city council came to an agreement during a special meeting Thursday in regards to moving forward with a bond issue to fund school improvements. Approximately $5.4 million has been agreed upon, with $4 million coming from city sales tax revenue and the remainder being decided by the public when the bond issue comes for vote during a September election date. All involved are of the same opinion as far as informing the public. According to board president and new school committee chairman Brad Greer, a town hall meeting for the public's interest will be held. "We want them more involved than they've ever been before," Greer said. "We will also need to speak to local civic organizations to make sure everybody is on board." Councilwoman Francine Morris also spoke on behalf of informing the public. "The main thing we need to address is educating the public and making them a part of the process," Morris said. "Because our children need and deserve a new school." Rick Smith, with Municipal Finance Services, Inc., created a comparison of tax impacts based on average annual tax levy and 12% assessment rate in Choctaw County. The table shows property owners' monthly and annual tax increases for property valued from $25,000 to $100,000 to be approximately $14.55 to $80.01 a year. Preliminary construction cost projections, along with other project related costs are estimated to be approximately $5,300,000, including a safe room to be located within the new construction. The bond issue will come up for election on Sept. 10, 2013. A date for the public hearing has yet to be announced.

Just got these chairs today! Was a little afraid because there were no reviews! I always take into account reviews, but felt at this price I couldn't go wrong. Chairs came packed well. 2 per box. All came with no injuries or discoloration. I ordered 2 sets -so 4 chairs to add to my dining room. Tired of borrowing from others! Color is exactly like online! Linen is soft and neutral. Dimension are exact too. My 5 year old son helped with the assembly-not a joke. all notches and holes matched up and had no problems. Its just bolts and washers. Maybe 10-15 minutes per chair. Just to get hang of each size-then a breeze! Each chair comes with appropriate allen wrench. Chairs are sturdy, but they aren't made of hard wood. The wood could be better, ,but for the price and the description said exactly what they were Poplar wood- not a perfect wood, but it works! They did great with my 6 1 190lb husband. Also if I ever wanted to they are perfect for recovering-bottom seat cover is velcroed on and easy to remove. Go and get them they are great chairs and comfy!
These chairs came quickly and are the best deal around. I looked around a long time before finding these and the price was right! they look a lot more expensive than they really are. LOVE them.
These chairs are great. I've never put chairs together before so I was a little nervous that they wouldn't be sturdy or they would be wobbly. That is not the case. The color of the chair is better in person. In my computer it looks like there is a sheet or something on the seat of the chair. In real life the chair is a very nice tan linen. They are very sturdy and the assembly was easy. My biggest concern with putting the chairs together was finding that the holes didn't line up. That wasn't the case with any of the for chairs, thank goodness. I would definitely recommend these chairs to anyone. I wish they had an arm chair version so I could get them for the head of my table.
I'm happy with this chair. Very inexpensive and the quality is good. The shipping was fast which i expected from overstock.
I love these chairs and have received many compliments. They are sturdy, were easy to assemble and look great at the head of my dining room table.
I ordered the chairs for additional seating for the holidays and I'm very glad I did. They are a nice addition to my dining room table. My other four chairs are leather so I put the linen chairs at both ends of the table it really dresses it up. They are much more comfortable then you would think dining room chairs would be.
I am so happy with quality chairs. They are wonderful. Color is so nice , picture does not show all beauty of this classic chairs. I feel so lucky today ! Lucky and so happy !
The chairs are beautiful in our breakfast room. They are, however, darker in person than they appeared in my phone. I was expecting tan, but they have more brown in them in person. Still beautiful, so I'll keep them.
Very happy with the chairs. Very easy to assemble. I purchased 6 and all were assembled by me in less than an hour
These were ok, but the shininess of the fabric made them look cheap.

In the last post we started looking at Jacob and his encounter with God where he wrestled with God and it changed everything for him. It changed the direction of his life and even changed his name. In this post we will continue to look at Jacob and again if you are unfamiliar with him please read Genesis 31 and 32 – if you wish you can click here to read it. The minimum I think you should know about his encounter is in this paraphrase of the Scripture of Jacob wrestling with God:
Jacob stayed behind by himself and this is where there is real mystery in what happened is written. We know that Jacob wrestled with a man until daybreak. We do not know how this happened but Jacob wrestles with the man. When the man saw that he couldn't get the best of Jacob as they wrestled, he deliberately threw Jacob's hip out of joint.
The man said, "Let me go; it's daybreak." Jacob said, "I'm not letting you go 'til you bless me." The man said, "What's your name?" He answered, "Jacob."
The man said, "But no longer. Your name is no longer Jacob. From now on it is Israel; you've wrestled with God and you've come through." Jacob asked, "And what's your name?" The man said, "Why do you want to know my name?" And then, right then and there, he blessed him. Jacob named the place Peniel because, he said, "I saw God face-to-face and lived to tell the story!" The sun came up as he left Peniel, limping because of his hip being knocked out of joint.
Yesterday we saw different motivations drive us to seek God and concern for family will lead us to seek God. Today one thing we see is this : Family arguments push us to seek God and His direction. Jacob was driven by fear of a hostile uncle, and as we saw him run from Laban. What Jacob didn't fully know was that God warned Laban not to harm Jacob. Then Jacob faced a brother who had sworn revenge on him in the past but his heart softened through the years but Jacob did not know this either. Sometimes we are motivated to seek God because we are disappointed with our family or in our marriage or our children turn against us or we are betrayed by family members. In those times we need to seek God and His direction because in God's presence there is peace and rest. We will find direction for family issues if we seek God – we must hold on and fight for our family! We must hold on to God and what He wants and not what we want.
One reason people do not have powerful encounters with God has to do with this: We must give up precious things of life to encounter God's presence. Jacob gave up everything for God, he was willing to surrender all his herds to Esau, he was willing to sacrifice his family, he offered to God the only thing he brought out of the Promise Land, which was his staff or his walking stick which is something he will need after his encounter with God. Only after giving it all to God did Jacob experience God's presence. If you are going to encounter God, you must not let anything come between you and God. Here is the problem – we have our priorities all out of whack – we have our list of priorities as children, spouse, and immediate family, other family, friends, then God. What it needs to be is like this: God, spouse, children, immediate family, other family, and then friends. We put everything before God in life and make excuses like it is alright but we wonder why we do not have encounters with God or his power and presence in our lives. We wonder why everything falls apart all round us and we do not know where to turn. It is because we are not willing to give up the precious thing of life to encounter God's presence which will ultimately lead to greater blessings than we could imagine. We could have so much if we just gave it all to Him – it is a paradox – we must give it all to God so that we can have more of it.
Some of you want to argue with me right now and in your minds you are but I say do not argue with me but Jesus who in Matthew 10:37-39 said this: "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it". Nothing and no one should come before God in your life – not your spouse, not your children, no one and if they do – you are wrong according to Jesus!
Have you found this paradox to be true in your life? Have you given it all up for God and found so much more?

Dwight Howard, Stan Van Gundy Deflect Drama
Once again, the Orlando Magic's season has been overshadowed by drama.
Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy and superstar Dwight Howard aren't seeing eye-to-eye and tensions reached a boiling point on Thursday afternoon. Rumors had been circulating all season that Howard asked the front office to fire Van Gundy. The head coach confirmed the rumor on Thursday afternoon, saying that he was told by someone in Orlando's management.
After losing to the New York Knicks on Thursday evening, Van Gundy tried to deflect attention from his situation and focused on how the Magic can turn things around going forward.
"That's not what's important right now," Van Gundy said, when asked about his future with the team. "It's not. My job security is not what's important right now. What Dwight wants is not important. What's important is that we focus on playing better as a team. That's what is important."
Van Gundy told reporters that he expects to finish the season in Orlando and said that he would be on the team flight to Philadelphia tomorrow. Van Gundy and Howard met with Magic general manager Otis Smith on Thursday afternoon and discussed the drama.
"He and I met with Otis," Van Gundy said. "Look, we've been together all this year. We've been together for five years. We know each other very well. Dwight will go out there and play and I'll go out there and coach. That's the understanding. We know that."
Howard wouldn't discuss the situation after the game. He only discussed the loss to the Knicks.
"I don't want to talk about it," Howard said of the drama. "That has nothing to do with the game."
When reporters tried to follow up, Howard repeatedly said "next question."
Orlando has lost five straight games for the first time since Van Gundy became the team's head coach in 2007. Much of Van Gundy's postgame press conference was spent discussing how the team can turn things around before the playoffs.
"We're in a bad time right now," Van Gundy said. "We're not the deepest team in the world anyway and we have guys that are hurt. We're not playing well at all. We have no rhythm, with different guys in and out. It's a very bad time. We have three weeks to go, 11 games, and we have to have some faith that we can get back to playing how we were three weeks ago. Everything has changed for the bad in the last two weeks. We have to get back to when things were good, two or three weeks ago. That's the focus right now."
Van Gundy was asked to reveal his "source" within management that warned him about Howard's efforts to get him fired. The head coach laughed at the question.
"My source? I don't have a source. I don't have to go to somebody to find things out. People tell me things. I work here. Why would I tell that? My management [told me]," Van Gundy said.
While Howard wants Van Gundy out in Orlando, not all players feel the same way. J.J. Redick is one player who is behind Van Gundy and he made that clear during his postgame press conference.
"I want to play for Stan, there's no question," Redick said. "I'm not a player that wants to make any statements regarding decisions. My job is go out there, play hard and do my job on the court. And I hope that's with Stan coaching me."
Van Gundy and Howard may not be on the same page, but it doesn't seem like any changes are coming. The two men will have to make this work for the remainder of the season and then see what happens this offseason.

This throbbing type of headache is distinguished by the fact that symptoms other than pain occur with the headache. Nausea and vomiting, lightheadedness, sensitivity to light (photophobia), and other visual disturbances are common migraine symptoms.
Migraines are also unique in that they have distinct phases. Not all individuals experience each phase, however. The phases of a migraine headache may include:
Migraine classification helps to guide treatment. The categories below help to narrow down the classification process.
Migraine headaches are diagnosed primarily based upon reported symptoms, but a thorough medical exam, which may include other tests or procedures, may be used to rule out underlying diseases or conditions.
Tracking and sharing information about your headache with your physician helps with the process of making an accurate diagnosis. Consider writing down the following information to take to your medical appointment:
Diagnostic tests that may be used to confirm a migraine diagnosis include computerized tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imagining (MRI), and spinal tap. These tests help to rule out other problems such as tumors, infection, or blood vessel irregularities that may cause migraine like symptoms.
Specific treatment for headaches will be determined by your doctor based on:
The ultimate goal of treatment is to stop migraines from occurring. Adequate management depends on the accurate identification of the type of headache and may include:
Migraine headaches may require specific medication management including:
Some headaches may require immediate medical attention, including hospitalization for observation, diagnostic testing, or even surgery. Treatment is individualized depending on the underlying condition causing the headache. Full recovery depends on the type of headache and other medical problems that may be present.
Vascular headaches, a group that includes migraines, are thought to involve abnormal function of the brain's blood vessels or vascular system.
The most common type of vascular headache is migraine - headaches that are usually characterized by the following:
The symptoms of migraine headaches may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
The two most common types of migraines are "classic" migraines and "common" migraines:
Pain associated with classic migraines may be described as:
An attack may last one or two days.
Common migraine pain may last three or four days.
The following are other types of migraines:
The second most common type of vascular headache is a toxic headache. Toxic headaches are often produced by a fever that comes with conditions such as pneumonia, measles, mumps, and tonsillitis, as well as the presence of foreign chemicals in the body.
Other kinds of vascular headaches include cluster headaches and headaches caused by a rise in blood pressure.

Title | Scheduling Campus Facilities | Number | 425 |
Section | Facilities, Operations, and Information Technology | Approval Date | Oct 19,2006 |
Subsection | Facilities and Scheduling | Effective Date | Oct 19,2006 |
A. Currently there are two policies relating to scheduling facilities on campus. In an effort to promote better coordination and make scheduling on campus easier for end users, this policy combines scheduling offices and procedures.

An analysis of Ryan Tannehill: a tale of two halves
It's now the tail end of year number 2 for this former number 1 draft pick in Miami. Ryan Tannehill, leading up to this season had a high level of expectation that after starting the season with 5 TDs to 2 INTs, being mentioned in the same breath as Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck seemed achievable. However, after paying a visit to the Bayou in New Orleans and throwing three interceptions, Tannehill found himself in dire straits and looking for a way out of the shadow that is Dan Marino in Miami.
Yesterday versus the Jets Tannehill turned in another great performance and his best performance this season throwing for 331 yards, 2TD, and posted a 94.2 rating. In the first half of the game, even if the Dolphins didn't score a single touchdown, Ryan Tannehill was throwing the football at a high rate and completing passes. His first drive lead the Dolphins to scoring chances inside the 40 yard line if not for a missed Caleb Sturgis field goal. The offense appeared to stall in the first half due to the inability of Tannehill to deliver the football deep along the sidelines (pass thrown out of reach to WR Marlon Moore) and a bad pass to TE Charles Clay. In fact, one aspect of the Dolphins offense that has been missing all season is that safety valve that extends drives in a big tight end that can catch passes at the sticks for first downs. However, bouncing back from those poor drives, Tannehill found Clay later on a seam route that drove the Dolphins just past mid field hauling down a pretty pass that was thrown over the head of a linebacker sinking back into coverage for the Jets. It was Clay's ability to grab that pass and extend the drive that would lead to bigger and better things in the second half.

With Mint 12 KDE RC 64 bit I have got the following problem:
Like previous Mint editions (any desktop) the GeForce GT 240 card needs special treatment in order to work. Booting of the live CD works only by editing the boot string, replacing 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset'. It then boots in 800 x 600 resolution.
After installation, one can only boot into safe mode (2nd boot menu option) until the proprietary graphics driver is installed.
With Mint 12 KDE I have got the problem, that the driver would download but the installation ends with the message that it couldn't be installed.
Any idea?

The Northwest Salmon Derby Series will continue Feb. 16-18 with the annual Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby. The derby is run each year on Presidents Day Weekend by the Gardiner Salmon Derby Association.
The series began a week ago with the Roche Harbor Salmon Classic.
The Gardiner event includes a $10,000 first prize and almost $20,000 overall in prizes and merchandise.
The nonprofit salmon derby raises funds to support emergency and other services that benefit the Jefferson County community.
The derby fishing area covers more than 500 square miles, covering Puget Sound From Tongue Point in the west through Freshwater Bay, Port Angeles, Sequim, Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, Marrowstone Island, Port Ludlow to Whidbey Island in the east and north past Smith Island to Hein Bank.
There will be five boat ramps with weigh stations: Freshwater Bay, Ediz Hook Boat Ramp (Port Angeles), John Wayne Marina (Sequim), Gardiner Boat Ramp and Port Townsend Boat Haven.
The derby rules allow only hatchery, fin-clipped chinook salmon to be submitted for weighing. Each angler must have a derby ticket, $40, to be eligible.
John Otness of Tacoma won last year's event with a 17.6-pound salmon. John Calkins of Shelton came in fourth with a 15-pound fish.
For more information on the derby and ticket locations, go to gardinersalmonderby.org.
This is the series' 10th year, and includes 15 events held around Puget Sound and on the Columbia River. Organized by the Northwest Marine Trade Association, the series features a drawing for a fully outfitted fishing boat.
Local events that are part of the series are Aug. 3: South King County PSA Salmon Derby, Point Defiance, Aug. 3; Gig Harbor Salmon Derby, Aug. 10; South Sound Salmon Derby, Olympia, Aug. 17; and Vashon Island Pink Salmon Derby, Aug. 24.

Fresh crisis in the developed world whips up technical headwinds for LatAm. Dedicated funds are flush and hunting bargains, hoping fundamentals are not impacted.
by Ben Miller
Latin America's fundamental strength and ability to withstand external shock is a broken record that has been playing since 2008. Dedicated buyers were caught offside by the panicked selling that year – many losing most of the prior years' heady gains – but they are undeterred in the latest slump, ready to commit stockpiled inflows to sourcing relative bargains in LatAm debt and equity.
"Latin America remains underestimated potential with overestimated risk," says Luis Carrillo, head of LatAm equity at JPMorgan Asset Management, which oversees $5 billion.
Correlation with global markets creates a drag on prices, despite healthy LatAm balance sheets and Asia-like growth in some of the bigger economies like Brazil. Buying dips...

Robots today move far too conservatively, using control systems thatattempt to maintain full control authority at all times. Humans and animalsmove much more aggressively by routinely executing motions which involve aloss of instantaneous control authority. Controlling systems without fullauthority requires a different style of control, and requires that we relyon and exploit the natural dynamics of our machines.

Leaving a gift in your Will is a great way to ensure that we can continue to make a difference not only now but in the future. In fact almost 1 in 5 of our patients are cared for through the income we receive from legacies.
Farleigh Hospice relies greatly on people leaving gifts in their Wills to provide vital services to the local community.
There are three main ways to leave a gift to Farleigh Hospice:
• 'Family and Friends First Legacy',
• 'Cash Legacy'
• 'Legacy in Kind'.
Family and Friends First Legacy
At Farleigh Hospice we know that caring for your family is a priority. However, after making provision for your family and friends, you can leave whatever is left in your estate - the residue - to Farleigh Hospice alone or with other charities.
Cash Legacy
Cash donations are always very welcome. Do remember, however, that cash donations tend to decrease in value over time. To avoid this you can either index link your gift or review it periodically to retain its original value.
Legacy in Kind
Specific items such as property, shares, jewellery or furniture can be gifted. Leaving the contents of your home as a gift in your Will is welcome as our shops can maximise the value of the gift for the hospice
Please click here for our legacy brochure. If you do decide to leave a legacy to Hospice, the following specimen legacy clauses should be taken with you when you see your solicitor. Alternatively, if you wish to amend your Will with a Codicil, the attached form should be used. This information will help save you and your solicitor time and effort. However you choose to help us you can be sure you are making a vital contribution to the future of hospice care in mid Essex.

The black community is better able to pick themselves up when given a quality education,…Read More the level playing field. This means qualified, and competent, teachers. This means math teachers who actually know how to teach math, not just know how to do it. This means science teachers who know how to TEACH science. Picture this--I had black students, and others, show up to my class prepared to learn, yet my school didn't have text books for them. I finally located some old dusty biology books in a closet somewhere on the campus. I think they were darn near close to being pre-Darwin. A black girl gave me a note saying "Thank you, Mr. C, for finding books for us!" As they say today "WTF?!"

Mr. Peterson made the argument for why a change is necessary in education to better prepare all of…Read More our students in each of our states. Despite California's and Texas's low ranking nationally these two states produce a high number of well prepared scholars that matriculate on to higher education aimed at filling the nations need for nimble minded global thinkers. Other states with large populations go the same. However, there are many states where education funding was put on true back burner particularly in those states and areas dominated by the Tea Party ideology.
These states mostly in the south such as Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, South Carolina have school systems that have lagged behind for decades in producing graduates that are prepared for the rigors of significant university matriculation. The more successful states have to fill in the needs without help from those lagging behind.
The Common Core and the STEM initiative are focused on addressing the above issues by instituting a Common Core curriculum in each state so that all students will hopefully be able too successfully achieve mastery of the Core endeavors.
Though change in any organization is met with fear because one is moving from the safety of the known out into an unknown. Teachers are welcoming the change after 12 years of chasing test scores on No Child Left Behind, undoubtedly the worse educational endeavor in our nations history.
The shift is away from regurgitating facts and factoids in isolation to a meaningful thinking curricular approach where students will be able to express what they known and will be asked to apply what they have learned to problem solving situations.
This is a great change in schooling and hopefully will address Mr. Campbell's rather narrow views. Hopefully, he is not a Tea Party ideologue because they are so far off on this subject it should be embarrassing.

They need not be shamed in discussing their personal problem with him or her (hopefully they are properly licensed, credentialed, and sworn by the "Hypocratic Oath" (a.k.a. the "Oath of Hypocrates" our famous physician of the ages)).

If you shot yourself at 40 miles an hour into space, you can be a trillion miles from anything, yet retain the same speed.

How do you know you never come back in another body? How do you know their really isn't God, heaven, and hell?
How do you know Your not really from 40 years in the future. By that time, (40 years), quantum computers will actually be able to make homegrown universes in your own home. You, and your buddies decided to play a computer game, and you are here simply in the "game" right now. By the way, think about this. Of all the million years to be alive, isn't it an extreme low probability that you are in the exact time period of the eve of computer abilities to create a universe. Also, when the computer invented ---and released universes start to happen---well, when those evolve, they will do the dame thing as their predecessors did. They will in turn make universes. And so on..and so on. What are the odds that we are the very first in an infinite line of universes. How do you know all the people who legally died for a few minute in the hospital all say they the unexplainable feeling of total love etc. How do you know any of the above is real, or not?

JB....yes i think Mr. Obama indeed knew what the reactions would be on the conservative side of the…Read More fence...however, I think his bigger concern was the reaction he was about to get from the more liberal side of the fence. I feel strongly that it takes greater courage to speak the truth sometimes than to be caught in a lie and come forward with a weak "in your face" response to so many who actually "believed." I have never doubted his intelligence...but strongly question who is really running the current administration...scary to think that Valerie Jarrett might indeed be quite a be more in the power seat than imagined. And so, when the president knows nothing, fathoms nothing, plans ahead for nothing.... does anyone really, really think that is true? And if it is, I submit we are in very big do-do!!!
As for everyone having their own ideas of what INTEGRITY, LOGIC, INTELLIGENCE, HONOR, MORALS AND PERHAPS EVEN A SHADE OF NO "MIS-SPEAKS" mean..that is a scary thought when agendas are at play...well perhaps if they do not have a Webster's Dictionary they can always GOOGLE it. Can it be that upstanding progressive, forward thinking, thought provoking liberal standards of today..everyone will decide and act on whatever suits their motive/agenda at the moment. Another sad reason to realize we are actually wallowing in do-do!!!

Darwin has a relaxed outdoor lifestyle and enjoys warm weather all year round. Perched on a peninsula with sea on three sides, Darwin is an excellent base to explore the natural attractions of World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks, the Tiwi Islands and Arnhem Land.
World War II put Darwin on the map as a major allied military base for troops fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. Today travellers can see evidence of Darwin's World War II history at a variety of preserved sites including ammunition bunkers, airstrips and oil tunnels in and around the city. Darwin again made world news when the city was rebuilt in the wake of Cyclone Tracy in 1974 - an event well documented at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.

If he didn't get with Katara, how would the Air nomads continue to exist? If there weren't anymore airbenders the cycle would be broken and after three more avatars there would be no more Avatar.
I think that Mike and Bryan know what they are doing, and they shouldn't be questioned...Ever. Again.
-Leaves thread like ninja-
Has it ever been said that the cycle breaks if the air benders die? If I was writing the film adaptation, I'd just have the cycle skip over the air benders if they became extinct. Also, future avatars who know air bending and haven't mastered the avatar state could have air bending children at some point.
I know this isn't a great answer, but I don't think having Aang and Katara get together solves anything either. I mean, once they have their kids, hopefully one of them is an air bender. And if they are, they will have to have an air bender child or else the whole race is dead. Based on their comments about the world continuing to be out of balance at the end of Sozin's war, I doubt Mike and Bryan envisioned Aang and Katara's sex life restoring the air benders. And if they did, that's a really terrible plan.
It's been proven that Mike and Bryan had most of the finale planned out ahead of time, which is great. It's a huge aspect of storytelling that a lot of other TV shows miss. However, the conclusions to the character arcs and the mysteries were very poor, despite this planning (Aang lets go of Katara but marries her? A giant Lion Turtle shows up to give Aang the ability to defeat Ozai without killing him and the audience doesn't know until the last 20 MINUTES OF THE SERIES?) This ending was so bad that it looked like they HADN'T been planning it for 6 years, like it was just tacked on at the last minute. Mike and Bryan might have known what they were doing for the entire series, but does that justify a terrible ending?
All I'm saying is that a screenwriter uses very rigid story structure "laws". Every scene must lead somewhere and have a purpose. I would actually like to see a 3rd Last Airbender movie be made because despite how terrible of a writer M. Night Shymalan is, I don't think he would have gone the "Leo" route without a couple of huge changes. Only the worst adaptation would keep the Lion Turtle without "fixing" it.

John Heffron
- Ticket Price: $26.00 - $115.00
- Show Type: Comedy
- Door Time: 07:15 PM
Featuring Angelo Lozada and Jesse Joyce!
John Heffron: John Heffron burst onto the comedic scene during the prime of his college heyday. Although he graduated in his home state of Michigan, Heffron' s priorities became clear when he began to skip class to perform live stand up. His first gig was on the University of Michigan' s campus at the Main Street Comedy Showcase. Since then, his comedy has evolved in a unique and creative fashion as he has grown from a fun-loving college student to a bewildered husband. John' s attraction to excitement and his personal vow to never perform physical labor have both inspired and motivated his successful career. The endless list of credits that comprise his impressive resume highlight his many significant accomplishments. Having won the second season of NBC' s Last Comic Standing, Heffron' s popularity grew tremendously. John' s amusing and extensive material has earned him two half hour specials and a one-hour special on the hit stand up show Comedy Central Presents. He has become a regular on numerous VH1 satire series including I love the 80s: 3D, I Love the 70s: Volume 2, and My Coolest Years: My First Time. In addition to being featured on Thom Filicia' s Dress My Nest, Heffron has performed on CMT' s Coming to the Stage, NBC' s Late Friday, and Comedy Central' s Premium Blend. He has made numerous appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and E' s! Chelsea Lately and 101 Craziest TV Moments. John is no stranger to live audiences and has taken the stage at several prestigious comedy festivals including the Las Vegas Comedy Festival, the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal and the HBO Comedy Festival in Aspen. He even had the recent honor of being a celebrity roaster for KISS' Gene Simmons on an episode of A& E' s Gene Simmons: Family Jewels. John most recently shot a pilot presentation entitled: " Stepjohn" in association with Second City Television and Paramount Television for CBS based on his stand-up and real life experiences. This past December John was the sole host of the 2009 World MMA Awards shot before a live audience of 3000 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. From his early days as a DJ on Detroit' s number one morning show, Danny Bonaduce and the Q Crew, to one of his current roles sharing the screen with Courtney Cox-Arquette on FX' s Dirt, Heffron has hailed experience from many talented comedians. However, his endless innovation can easily be seen in his own comedy. John' s first live stand up CD, Kid with a Cape, debuted over ten years ago. As a result of his constant touring, his routine has developed and grown and two more successful recordings, Good Kid, Bad Adult and The Better Half, have been released. Many public and private corporations often call upon John for their company parties, fundraisers and conferences. Some of these companies include; Mercedes Benz, Citrix-a software company, Material Handling Industry of America, John Bailey Memorial Charity-an FBI event, Boys and Girls Club of Lancaster Fundraiser and many more. John co-hosted The Tony Rock Project on My Networks, which aired last fall. He also has a brand new one-hour special released on DVD! Any stand up patron can relate to this comedian' s diverse material that ranges from bar hopping adventures in his twenties to married life in his thirties. John Heffron' s youthful personality and cynical wisdom result in a witty combination that nobody can resist. He has managed to accomplish what most stand-up comedians can only dream of.

I bought this bike along with another Avigo (16") and a 20" Mongoose. Both Avigo's felt as if none of the joints or bearings had any lube on them at all. This one especially. I could barely turn the front fork out of the box, and after assembly I was hearing grinding coming from the rear tire. I thought the plastic chain cover was rubbing at first then I realized it only grinds when the wheel is moving, its coming from inside the rear wheel bearing. No such problems at all with the Mongoose.Contemplating taking the bearing apart myself and repacking with grease, but I shouldn't have to do that for a new bike right out of the box.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
My son picked out this bike for his 6th birthday. After riding every other 20 inch bike in the store (all over the store), this was his first choice. The color is sharp, the seat is comfortable and the bike rides well. My son is a very happy little boy with his pick of this bike.

My son loves this bike
By Working single mom
from Marysville ohio
My son is 10, still couldn't ride a bike without training wheels. One Sunday he decided he's going to ride his bike without training wheels or help. Well!!! He did it!! Yay!!! But his bike was too small for him. Off to Toys R Us we went. He probably rode 4 bikes around the store but he loved this one. I didn't plan on buying a bike that day, but it was the last one. So.... Out the door with the bike we went. He couldn't wait to get home to ride. He rides everyday. So parents don't get upset if your child can't get the hang of riding they will on their own time!!
Great Bike, Worth the Money
By Biking Family
from Virginia
My son loves this bike. It is sturdy and rides smoothly. The tires are thick. You can brake using the handle bar brakes or pedaling backwards. The orange color is unique, making it easier for my son to locate his in a sea of bikes. My husband was able to assemble the bike within 30 minutes. So far, we've had the bike for 4 weeks now with moderate use and it is still perfectly functional. We are happy with our purchase.
love it
By happy parents
from Madison WI
Our son loved the bike. We bought it put together. Got home and the brake was stuck and it could not be used. Went right back and they gave us a new one. He has been riding ever since!
Not my favorite purchase
By Ants Mom
from Lavista, NE
Bought this bike in May for my sons 7th birthday and just began to ride it good in July. By August, the chain started to come off the track so frequently that we tried adjusting the back tire and that didn't help. Good thing I bought the protection plan. As I will be replacing it today and I hope I do not have the same issue with the new one. Other than that, my son loved his bike, its a great color!

George Kovacs 2 Light Wall Sconce
Cozy light to the room katy from Eureka, MT– Verified Buyer Was a bit smaller than I was picturing, but will add comfort to the space |
Easy assembly, looks great in bedroom Jennifer from Albany, NY– Verified Buyer Very happy with our purchase. We looked everywhere for a 2 light, inexpensive solution for our wall and these are just what we needed |
Upgrade for the hallway Deirdre from Scottsdale, AZ– Verified Buyer I purchased this sconce to replace a tiny, oudated one in our hallway. I love the modern style of this sconce and it was very easy to install, the only issues I have are the lightbulbs I put in stick out of the top, I just need to find some smaller bulbs to use instead. |
Very nice J stiglets from New orleans Very nice. Shade is much whiter than it appears online. Gives a modern touch to my living room. Easy to install. |
Lovely Deborah from Weehawken, NJ– Verified Buyer The only reason I'm giving three stars is because I ordered this sconce plus what I thought was a matching smaller sconce. They have different style shades, which isn't obvious if you're not looking for it. I wish there was a better description of the shades so that I wouldn't have had this problem. This larger sconce sticks out further from the wall and is a four sided shade. The small one has a 34 shade, meaning it rests flush against the wall. They look great individually though. |
Nice Looking Fabric Shade Supardi from Walnut, CA– Verified Buyer Great Sconce if you like Fabric Shade type. The Metal give expensive look while the fabric will eventually look dirtyfaded. |
Sconce great quality, good lighting affect Gloria from Southington, CT– Verified Buyer This looks great in the stairway landing. Very nice shade, creates very nice, soft effect. Just what I needed to light up a stairway without a blinding effect. |
Beautiful! Laura from Springfield, MO– Verified Buyer Looks just like pic! High quality and easy to install. Also has an onoff switch if you need it. We are using these in a hall and they add just the right amount of light! |
Gorgeous high quality Leah from CA– Verified Buyer Thrilled with this purchase to replace undersized sconces in my living room. Casts a warm filtered light. Quick shipping too! |
Updated bedside lights Lolo Rotz from Pennsylvania I ordered two of these to replace the ones that were beside our bed. They are very attractive and hold two light bulbs, each on it's own switch, which is a nice option incase you want to have a choice of brightness. Very contempory look to the light with shade. I am very happy with my purchase. |
