Hot answers tagged murder
I'd bet that sign was referencing the theoretical punishment that a Jewish court could have administered, during Temple times, under Jewish self-rule, when such events were exceedingly rare and shocking, and with overwhelming evidence:
Male-to-male sex is punishable by death by stoning.
Murder is punishable by decapitation.
The Talmud states that of those ...
הבא להורגך השכם להורגו
That means that if you know that someone wants to kill you, you must precede and kill him before he kills you. Otherwise, "Thou shall not murder" applies.
More info could be found on Hebrew wiki page about this topic.
According to http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~uzwiak/AnatPhys/Cardiovascular_System.html
the heart touches the chest wall between the 5th and 6th ribs. So if this passage means that he literally stabbed him at the 5th rib, it would have been a very efficient and quick kill.
Interestingly, Daas Zekeinim and Kli Yakar (to Gen. 32:8) say that when Yaakov heard that Eisav was planning to attack, he was distressed thinking that this must mean that indeed Yitzchak was already dead and that Eisav therefore feels free to kill him.
Rashbam (to 32:7) suggests that indeed Eisav meant well in coming out towards Yaakov with his 400 men - ...
Mishna in Makoth 2:7
וְכֹהֵן גָּדוֹל שֶׁהָרַג , אֵינוֹ יוֹצֵא מִשָּׁם לְעוֹלָם
A Cohen Gadol who kills goes to the Ir Miklat forever.
They would have to appoint another one, to do the Avoda on Yom Kippour, as the first one looses his previous job, as the Rambam הלכות רוצח ושמירת נפש at (7:14) says about all those sentenced to Ir Miklat, after they can ...
There is no question that war, self-defense, official executions and certain other cases of para-Halachic killings are either sanctioned, required, or otherwise allowed after the fact (and even rewarded).
The questions as to why are not answered in a generality; there has been much discussion about each case, with separate explanations for each.
As to your ...
I see several question in your post, I'll try to answer them one-by-one.
what does, "Thou shall not murder" mean anyway?
It means that human life is holy, and Torah prohibits taking any human life. Pretty similar to how most people generally think about killing.
The Torah seems to allow many instances of killing
Original question author didn't ask about ...
Sifri states that the Cities of Refuge also serve people who live outside of the Land of Israel. According to Kesef Mishneh's first explanation, that means exactly what it sounds like: an accidental murderer from another country would have to run away to the nearest City of Refuge in Israel (or Transjordan), and until he does so he would be subject to attack ...
Although one might think to conclude that homosexuality is worse than murder based on the specific punishments court can impose upon them (stoning for homosexuality and decapitation for murder), this simplistic understanding is not borne out upon further investigation. I know I shouldn't just quote on this site, but no one says it better than the Rambam ...
M'tzudos quotes Rabi Yochanan as saying that that spot is particularly dangerous because of the presence there of the liver and gallbladder.
The Mishnah in Sotah 45b cites a dispute between R' Eliezer, R' Akiva and R' Eliezer ben Yaakov as to whether the measurement is done from the corspe's navel, from his nose, or from his neck. The halachah follows R' Akiva, that the measurement is done from the nose. For further details, see R' Chaim Kanievsky's comprehensive Nachal Aysan, siman 5 #5.
The Rambam rules (Rotzeiach 7:5 (English)) that one who is in exile in an Ir Miklat and kills unintentionally inside his Ir Miklat, is 'exiled' to a different neighborhood in that city, where presumably he is safe from threats. A Levi who lives in an Ir Miklat ordinarily who kills unintentionally is exiled to a different Ir Miklat.
The Midrash Raba 1:28 says it was justifiable:
One time, an Egyptian taskmaster went to a Israelite kapo and looked at his wife, who was beautiful without blemish. He got up at cockcrow and removed him from his house and (the Egyptian) returned and bedded his wife, who thought he was her husband…. Once the taskmaster knew that [the husband] knew ...
I know that one (perhaps the foremost one) urging that the Allies bomb the tracks was R' Michael Dov Weissmandl zt"l. If I recall correctly, he also urged that the camps themselves be bombed too; if that's true, then there you'd have a notable halachic authority who would permit (indeed advocate) this course of action.
Lord Sacks addressed this in his weekly message not long ago.
The Talmud explains that the Cohen Gadol bears some minute amount of responsibility; "as he should have begged for compassion." The simple explanation is that G-d gives people the free will and ability to do evil things, but this case concerns a mistake. Had the Cohen Gadol prayed more, perhaps ...
As heard from Rabbi Weiner, a student of Rabbi Elyashiv and a bio-halachist:
When the morning-after pill is administered, we do not know if there is an embryo present. Hence it is permissible in the case of a rape. (He wouldn't go so far as to give it carte blanche for, say, the happily-married couple who are trying to space their pregnancies a bit better.)
I see no reason why it should be any different than the general discussion about abortion.
Until an embryo is implanted: of no halachic significance. You couldn't break shabbos to save a frozen embryo, for instance.
From implantation till 40 days: Rabbi Moshe Feinstein vociferously opposed in virtually all circumstances, unless this baby is seriously ...
A person who killed accidentally had to stay in the City of Refuge until the Cohen Gadol died. This could be 1 day or 80 years.
If a person killed on purpose or in a completely faultless manner (Onnes), he does not have to stay in the City of Refuge until the Cohen Gadol dies. (Rambam Hilchot Rotzeach 6:3)
Killing someone on purpose is black and white, ...
Me'am Loez says (citing Zohar Chadash, Eichah) that R. Eliezer is counted among these ten Sages. He was arrested and nearly sentenced to death, but was miraculously spared (Avodah Zarah 16b-17a); he thus corresponds to Reuven, who played a part in the whole drama but wasn't actually involved in the sale.
I think the general view is that is forbidden to flip a switch to cause the death of 1 person to prevent 5 other people from dying. Judaism does not just take the utilitarian view to just look at the ends and ignore the means involved, especially when dealing with committing a sin such as murder. (See Does the end justify the means.) Therefore it would be ...
See Rabbi Michael Broyde's excellent essay (entitled, in various versions, either "Only the Good Die Young" or "Judaism is Not a Suicide Pact!") here.
An excerpt:
It is clear to me that the vast majority of
contemporary poseqim agree with R. Shaul
Yisraeli, and for that reason, even as there are
numerous sefarim that deal with religious life in
Chemdas Yisroel (R' Meir Dan Plozky Zatzal) 42 says that in such a case the convert would not be executed.
Judicial execution is not the same as murder. The same torah that says "do not murder" also calls for the death penalty for certain transgressions, so there must be a difference.
Tractate Sanhedrin discusses capital punishment in a fair bit of detail. There are strict rules, but nonetheless a death sentence is possible and does not violate lo tirtzach.
Sefer Hachinuch (mitzvah 410) explains as follows:
Murder is an extremely severe sin, since it destroys the fabric of society. So one who killed, even accidentally, deserves the death penalty for having committed such a terrible act. Instead, though, the Torah commutes his sentence to exile, the pain of which is almost as harsh as that of death: it means a ...
The Ramban on the story quotes the Rambam as saying that the inhabitants of Shechem were required to judge (the person) Shechem and did not. As such, they did not fulfill the obligation of the descendants of Noach to judge justly. A descendant of Noach that fails to fulfill one if his 7 obligations (namely 1. belief in the creator, 2. prohibition of incest, ...
Madanei Asher page 168 discusses this question and answers as follows.
Shaalos U'Tshuvis Radbaz - Volume 2 #772 says that a Jewish king is not judged and therefore would not go to exile. Regarding prior to the time of Yanai Hamelech when Jewish kings were judged he says even there a Jewish king would not be exiled based on the Gemara - Makos 10a that a ...
David Rosen of Emory University School of Law writes as follows on page 44.
Regarding destruction of homes of living terrorists these actions seem
easy to justify under Jewish Law. Ezra
10:8 mentions
confiscation of property as a criminal sanction when one disobeys
lawful orders. The court, under the biblical commandment, may
expropriate ...
Rambam Rotzeah 7:9 (English)
אחד כוהן גדול המשוח בשמן המשחה, ואחד המרובה בבגדים; ואחד כוהן גדול העובד, ואחד הכוהן שעבר: כל אחד מארבעתן שמת, מחזיר את הרוצח.
If any of the current or former Kohanim Gedolim die, he goes free. As the Mishna (Megillah 1:9) states: the only difference between a current and former Kohein Gadol is that the bull offered ...
Rabbi Yonason Eibushutz answered humorously that disposing of two evil doers ( Bigsan and Teresh) is better than one ( Ahashverosh)
The midrash (footnote 73) and Sefarim Chitzonum writes that Bigsan and Teresh were in cohoots with Haman. If Ahasverish was killed Haman would have taken his place. In that case it is clear that Ahasverosh is better than Haman. ...
Rambam Yesode HaTorah 5:5
"If gentiles tell [a group of] women: "Give us one of you to defile. If not, we will defile all of you," they should allow themselves all to be defiled rather than give over a single Jewish soul to [the gentiles].

S/O The souvenir that got away/you left behind
July 29, 2014, 03:17:53 PM »
There is a current thread about people asking you to bring back souvenirs for them when you travel. But what about souvenirs that you
buy, and have regretted ever since. They become your "fish that got away" stories.
Here are my two:
When I was in my early 20s, I was with a tour group in China, and there was a table selling random carvings. One was shaped like a fish. It had a very visible seam line down the center of it. I opened it to find the inside of the fish was carved with very graphic erotica. I was speechless and didn't buy the fish (because I thought it was carved from bone, which would be illegal to import anyway). Well, the "p*rn fish" is now the one that got away....
On a trip to Taiwan, my sister's friends took me shopping in the night market. At the time, the Taiwanese
t-shirts with English writing on them, even if the writing made no sense. I picked up a shirt with pretty writing on it out of the bin. It read:
(large flowery calligraphic script) "I hide my
(big block letters) crack
(large flowery script) with my diaper."
Yeah, that one stayed in the bin, but is talked about to this day. What are your "Souvenirs that got away"?

Mine was in Spain too. There were these amazing turquise leather ankle wedge boots in a shop in Seville. They were gorgeous, I had never seen anything like them (and I'm a pretty avid fashionista
). It was early in the day so I decided I would go back and get them later or the following day because I didn't want to carry them around all day. But then I couldn't find the shop again! My DH and I looked and searched and wandered the streets but just couldn't find that store. It was like it vanished. Sigh..... I still think about those boots.

A necklace
I was in Monument Valley with a now ex-boyfriend, Richard. It had been a rough trip already. On the first full day, he had ended up in the hospital with epilepsy (which he had never had before) and had his license temporarily suspended. I had to do all the driving and he was a horrible backseat driver, when he was awake. The medication made him incredibly sleepy.
On day four, I was driving through the Valley and heading back toward the Grand Canyon. I saw a Native American tent shopping area on the side of the road. I pulled off and started browsing the amazing handcrafted gifts. There was a turquoise necklace. I'm not a big turquoise person and I don't like silver. This piece was special though. It was three strands of larger turquoise stones hung on what to my uneducated eye looked like fishing string. The stones were evenly spaced and looked exquisite! I had the seller down to $300. Richard wandered in as I was trying it on and close to purchase. He told me I was nuts to spend that much for 'cheap' stones. I was now embarrassed (and mad as heck, but I'm not confrontational.) He commented that we were behind schedule and needed to get on the road. We were behind schedule, but that's because he assumed the driver would travel the roads at 80-85 mph. I don't generally drive over 80 AND I only do it on roads I know (large highways where others are travelling that speed). I'm not going to go more than 10 mph above the speed limit on mountainous country roads.
I left the necklace behind and wished I'd left Richard instead. (To wrap up, he did suddenly get epilepsy in his late 30s. Once back in my home state, he had 4 more seizures, thankfully no one was injured. One may have been while driving, but I had dumped him by then. As his personal chauffer I was tired of being nagged about my driving and then he spilled a gallon of milk in my car on a really hot day and thought I was crazy for being mad. Milk is not easily removed from vehicle upholstery.)
I still wish I had purchased that necklace.
Or the pearl dog collar in Rome. I didn't have a dog then, but my current little girl would look amazing in it!

Near Naples a long time ago, my tour group was taken to a coral factory. I wish I had bought a pin with a coral body and gold handles and base that looked like a Grecian urn.
It's not exactly a souvenir since it doesn't come from a foreign country, but there was a t-shirt Benetton sold years ago that had the opening lines of a fable in Latin. I thought it was overpriced and didn't buy it.

Sophomore year of college, I went to London with a college group. On one of my free days, I visited 221B Baker Street and bought a bunch of memorabilia, including a "signed" edition of a Sherlock Holmes biography by Rev. Baring-Gould. It was expensive (probably 40 pounds) for a teenager, but I'm a huge Holmes buff, so it was worth it. Coming home, I routed through four different airports and three separate planes, and somewhere in the course of all that, I lost my book.
My parents threw a fit that I'd spent $90 on something that I'd lost on the plane, and I was just so sad that it was gone.

I generally do buy the things I see on holiday, but occasionally a few things do get away.
Some serving dishes at Disneyland many years ago.
A few years later we were at Disney World Florida and saw some nice things, but as they were a bit heavy we thought we'd wait till we got to Disneyland California a few weeks later to buy them (we were assured by the WDW staff that just about everything available at WDW would also be available at Disneyland - they were wrong). We were able to get most of the stuff at DL but a few things had never been stocked there.

A beautiful walking stick in a jewellery shop in Florence in 2004. I was helping our travel 3rd party choose a bracelet for his then-girlfriend, and I spotted the most beautiful ebony walking stick topped by a pewter Pharaoh's head. It was priced at 80 euro, and I could have afforded it, but it was too long to fit in my suitcase (the largest piece of luggage among the 3 of us), even diagonally. At that time, the airlines were still really strict about big sticks going on the plane as carry-on, and I didn't think it was safe to check it. Sigh
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.

This isn't one that didn't get purchased, but it did get away.
I went to Sweden many years ago, on a short "exchange program." My mother asked me to bring her back a rock candle holder. I found one for her, and on my last day before we left my host mother gifted me with another one. I carried both of them back in the bottom of my backpack carry on. By the time I made it through customs, my back hurt from all the weight in my bag. When I got home, my grandma was visiting, and my mother insisted that I give her the second holder since I hadn't gotten her a souvenir (she lived in another state. We weren't close). I did, and it wasn't the end of the world, but I do wish that I had gotten to keep it. At the time it wasn't a big deal for me, but now that the t-shirts don't fit and the pictures are buried on a hard drive somewhere, it would have been a more lasting trinket to have.

Odd ones I admit. In 2002 we were at an Autogrill in Italy that had a marvelous selection of Harry Potter tshirts with beautiful designs and quotes in Italian. I made the mistake of thinking I could get them somewhere else on the trip.
One trip coming back from New York I had a bag of Statue of Liberty lollipops as gifts I left the bag at the Atlanta airport during a plane change.

I have another from the Laguna Festival of the Arts, as well! (You just reminded me.) I don't care much for paintings, but there it was:
a deer standing in a forest clearing. The painted light was unreal. I wish I could describe it. But it was so wonderful that I recall it from 45 years ago!

When I was little and visiting my great grandmother, my parents took me to First Monday in Alabam:
I got to buy what I thought was the coolest pair of sunglasses
, with the name Coca Cola stamped in red all over the frames. A few miles down the road, I realized in a random store I'd left the sunglasses at First Monday. Cue major meltdown. My parents bought me a second pair of Coca Cola sunglasses. A few days later, I realized as we left Alabama I had left the second pair of sunglasses behind. Yeah, no third pair of glasses for me

The third of my Orchestral Themes series, designed to provide samples of how my custom music might sound in a film, animation, game, etc.
...Epic. Really, I like this one a lot. That's all I've got on this one.
If you're a developer, producer, etc. and you like these samples, feel free to ask me if I'd be willing to do some custom music for your project.
If you're just a listener, then all I can say is this:
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I love the sound of this track, it's almost too amazing for words. I can't even create a very good review, It's just THAT cool; the only I can say is good job! But, I do have a question. Did you use any VSTs (FX) in this, and if so, which ones were they because I can't seem to create a dynamic atmosphere like the one you've crafted here. Overall, very neat piece you have here.
- NikM
I'm using Reason 4.0 (5.0 has been relased though) for my DAW here, which doesn't support VSTs. It uses it's own format of patches and libraries, from what I understand. Everything came from either the stock "Reason Factory" library (for synths, pads, and the bass), or the "Orchester" library (for the actual instruments). I did a whole bunch of work with EQ, reverb, compression, and stereo imaging to get each voice to sound this way, though.
One of the biggest things that's helped me to get a more dynamic atmosphere is having a MIDI keyboard - everything you hear in this one was entered using my Roland A-30, and nearly each and every part in a single take (doing things in multiple takes seems to make a tiny but noticeable difference in fluidity... P.s. the marimba was a bitch to get in one take, took me 11 tries). Before I had the keyboard, it took way, way more time to enter the MIDIs and edit them to sound even remotely human. Even then, I still wasn't getting the same quality that I'm getting out of the keyboard. I suppose any MIDI keyboard will do, but I am loving having weighted keys...
Other than that, I've found that once you start to get a better understanding of the rhythmic and timbre differences between instruments and how they affect one another, it becomes a whole lot easier to layer parts in a way that gives the whole piece a little more life. Know what relationships between rhythmic, dynamic, and sustained parts you're looking for as well, and... well. It certainly gets a lot easier.
Last... if you have the chance to play an instrument in an orchestral or concert setting, take it whenever you can. Many of the most talented composers out there are masters in at least one instrument. For the record, I am neither one of the most talented composers out there, nor am I a master in my instrument (percussion), but I have completed my first year of a music degree, and I've performed on percussion instruments probably well over 1000 times, for as many as 20 000 people at a time (World Music Competition 2009 with the Calgary Stetson Show Band) - it's been a godsend for my composition skills. Even just listening to live performances helps, provided you're actively listening to details and not just passively letting it all wash over you.
I'm looking into Cubase, Sonar, and Kontakt (which hooks up to either of the other two), since I'm starting to get a little tired of the limitations of Reason alone. But it's still a solid program if you think it's something you want to try - albeit I still don't understand all the ins and outs of it, and I've been using it for over 5 years now.
In any case, thanks for the review, I hope something I said helped you out, and I'm sorry for making you read that beast of a reply. All the best, NikM!
- Ian
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is my favorite out of the 3 orchestral themes. A lot of tension in this one. I don't know if it is the bells or the plucked strings but something reminds me of the soundtrack to Final Fantasy Tactics. Great job.
Thanks, for the review, bud! This is my favourite of the three so far, too.

Bakugan: Just Like Siblings"Hollow ween? The heck is that, some sort of weird hollowed out Earth fruit?"Bakugan: Just Like Siblings by Jen-the-Cat-desu
"No, that's Halloween. It's "some sort of weird Earth holiday"."
Alice and Lync stared at the sign that lay on the store's window. While Lync was both confused and in awe with curiosity, Alice stifled a giggling fit at the small shop's attempt at desperately getting rid of their out of date and rotting candy.
"So it's a holiday about candy?"
"You can say that," Alice replied. "It's a holiday where you dress up as something and get candy by knocking at the houses of random people."
The pink haired kid stared up at his older friend with an unimpressed stare.
"No, that's really how you celebrate it."
"At least that's what I know," she sighed, her eyes closed. "The Russian government doesn't like us celebrating Western holidays, so it never really caught on in my town."
"Well we're in America right now. How about we give it a try?"
"No," The Russian girl lightly glared down at her

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.43 / 5.00 3,045 ViewsThis is the continuation of an animation I directed in school. After about a week of working with Flash, I created this anime-style animation in about 3 days, getting little sleep and little food... So I hope this is appreciated! It's the anime where the cyber punk genre becomes super deformed!
I'll cut you some slack
I don't know if this is your first flash or not, but hey, it isn't bad. I really liked the faulty malotov that continually blew up on him. lol that was great. And although I would've liked to see them actually talking, it ended up fine without it. The expressions were good though. I won't complain about the drawing, because I can't do any better. ^_^ keep drawing man.
aw guys come on! chill out !! have some humor!! i mean,i bet Darvon ,has just made his first movie...instead of expecting something realy professional! just enough on the Amateur! by the way nice humor! i laughed when that ....(whats his name) tried to light up the gas can and it was blowing up all the time and shit!
the only major problem i had with it was i couldnt hear the people talking...
It should have better graphics and then I would give it a higher score but for now its ok
Very Funny
I don't know if you were trying to make fun of the anime Akira but thats what I was under the impression of. My one friend was obbsesed with that anime and I hated it so it was good to see a spoof of it. It made me laugh.

Apps: Madden NFL 25, Notability 5.01, Pinball Arcade 2.7 + Solar Flux HD
EA's Madden NFL 25 (Free*) has taken the "freemium" game model to ridiculous extremes. Feeling more like a shakedown than a football game, Madden is free to play, but rubs artificial-feeling limitations in your face well before your team can take the field. Before you get to play the game, you're told that you're being given some basic player cards and enough credit to play a game for free, after which the title tries to sell you Madden Cash using in-app purchases. Paying lets you keep playing a seriously stripped-down version of Madden football using very simple tap and touch controls, but in some cases, you'll have to unlock individual plays, as well as players. If paying outright for player cards didn't seem silly enough, Madden includes an in-app auction where players can compete against each other to buy cards for certain players. We can't imagine anyone paying anything—let alone $100, as offered in one in-app purchase—to keep playing a game that has nowhere near the depth or content of a console football title. The in-game graphics aren't much better than football titles from two years ago, Retina support not withstanding, and the audio's nothing special, either. Our advice: skip this one.
Notability ($5) from Ginger Labs has updated to version 5.01, and is now universal on all iOS devices. The note-taking app has also added iCloud support to keep notes updated on any iOS device running iOS 6 or later. A new scissor tool lets users scale and rotate handwriting. Themes have gotten a new look and feel, and one new theme has been added, as well.
FarSight Studios has updated its multi-pinball game emulator Pinball Arcade ($1) with another new table in version 2.7 — Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The T2 table is a faithful recreation of the original pinball cabinet, even including the then-pioneering LED panel with graphic displays and bonuses. Voice samples from Arnold Schwarzenegger are included. Users get the opportunity to play the T2 table until they reach a pre-determined high score level, at which point the game locks it — at that point, it's $5 for full unlimited access to that game. Centaur is the Table of the Month, and tiered tournament functionality has been added, as well.
Solar Flux HD ($4) from Firebrand Games is a new space-themed puzzle game with 80 missions and impressive Retina graphics. Guiding your ship past supernovas, asteroid fields, meteors, and black holes while keeping stars alive can be fun; your energy-limited ship gathers plasma and fires it into stars, sometimes using the resulting energy waves to continue flying without wasting thruster fuel. While Solar Flux HD isn't as addictive as the most popular iOS puzzlers, it's cerebral with light twitch action requirements, and feels pretty original.

The stack resource protocol based on real time transactions
Jansen, P.G. and Laan, R. (1999) The stack resource protocol based on real time transactions. IEE Proceedings: Software, 1999 (2). pp. 112-119. ISSN 1462-5970
956kB |
Abstract: | Current hard real time (HRT) kernels have their timely behaviour guaranteed at the cost of a rather restrictive use of the available resources. This makes current HRT scheduling techniques inadequate for use in a multimedia environment where one can profit by a better and more flexible use of the resources. It is shown that one can improve the flexibility and efficiency of real time kernels and a method is proposed for precise quality of service schedulability analysis of the stack resource protocol. This protocol is generalised by introducing real time transactions, which makes its use straightforward and efficient. Transactions can be refined to nested critical sections if the smallest estimation of blocking is desired. The method can be used for hard real time systems in general and for multimedia systems in particular. |

Yorktown High School teacher Shirley Moczygemba was a homebody and cried every time she had to go to school. Mind you, she only went to school one day a week during cotton picking season.
"I played school when I was little but I did not want to go to school. I went to school on Thursday and one of my brothers went to pick up our homework. I was the middle child of five. [My parents made sure] that we did our homework," Moczygemba said.
That soon changed after her first grade teacher, Mrs. Simpson, gave her the love of learning and a desire, later on, to give others that same love.
Moczygemba said, "Mrs. Simpson gave me the feeling that school could be my second home."

Bill for licensing of mortgage officers hits roadblock
Legislation requiring people who help arrange mortgage loans for home buyers to get a state license has hit a roadblock near the finish line at the Legislature.
Billed as a consumer protection measure and similar to laws on the books in some 30 other states, the legislation enjoys support in the real estate financial industry, as ...

The tradition in our family is that my sister in Orange County puts on Thanksgiving. She and her husband have become experts on the holiday, with two ovens, four turkeys, plenty of pies and mushroom cappuccino for forty. This year, she's had the audacity to tell us that she and her family have decided to go away that week in November. We're appalled and forced to make other plans. My other sister has decided to go to New York City because, even though she lived in Manhattan for nine years in the 1980s, she never attended the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I'm not sure how something like that happens, or doesn't happen as the case may be. I supposed it's like my dad, who grew up in the Big Apple and never went to see the Statue of Liberty. It's a little bit procrastination, a little bit of avoiding the hassle of doing something that so many others want to do at the same time.
Once again, the Lakers have won the NBA title. Once again, they're having a parade in downtown Los Angeles to celebrate. Once again, I was going to skip the madness. This year, however, I find myself, like last summer, scrambling to cobble together a memorable school break with the kids without spending too much money while creating memories that last. I don't know if today will be one of those, but I'm dragging them to the Metro anyway. They've watched the games with me and can name the starting line-up. They're curious to see just how tall these men are. Why not spend a day with thousands of individuals wearing gold and purple?
I'm not even going to suggest an easy driving route. I can't imagine trying to navigate traffic and parking. Take the Metro. Click on this link at Metro.net for comprehensive instructions on how to take public transportation to the event. It begins at 11am at the Staples Center and heads down to the Galen Center at USC. For more details of the parade, check out the information available at NBA.com.
I've been away from Examiner.com for awhile and I've missed you all. Let's spend more time together here and at my site, DailyCupofJo.com.
See you at the parade, or not.

I agree that I'd rather not use a 1st round pick on a receiver. You can get guys like Mike Wallace in the 3rd or a guy like Antonio Brown in the 6th if you have good scouting. Problem is that Pats seem to just struck out at wideout, regardless of round.
I would use a first round pick on a wr if that wr is Robert Woods, Jordan Matthews etc.It depends on who it is.
is there any wide receiver in college which is in reach for the pats as a legitimate deep threat fpr a mid to alte round pick?
Markus Wheaton, Stedman Bailey and Quinton Patton all have some deep threat capabilities but I on't think there's a Mike Wallace in there. Those three are more rounded receivers.
Jordan Matthews reminds me of Larry Fitzgerald as crazy as that sounds.He is the cousin of Jerry Rice.I am surprised that people are not putting him in the first round discussion.
Still a junior and there hasn't been a great sense he'll declare. I can't speak for others, but I haven't seen Vandy this year which is why I'm not talking about him.
ah thanks! i would have to specify this. i wasn't just looking for a speedster who alsways go deep. i was looking more for a guy who is able to go deep and will do the other things too. i think your answer took it exactly!
I agree about #2 but see it way down on the priority list, hopefully not with a #1 pick: Signing Welker Safety CB Offensive line Additional dpeth every where
i think we should get Quinton patton in the 2nd or trade up for an earlier 3rd hes my favorite receiver in the draft markus wheaton would also be a good middle round guy. I use to love Tavon Austin but if we resign edelmen and welker there is no need my favroite receivers are 1. Quinton Patton 2. Deandre Hopkins 3. Tavon Austin 4. Da'rick Rogers 5. Markus wheaton/Terrance Williams Any of those guys would be great for me
Very nice list, but no Stedman Bailey? Personally I'd have Markus Wheaton and Terrance Williams much higher but that's just me.
yeah im not that high on stedman bailey i havent seen enough of wheaton and williams to put them any higher than that. Patton is my favorite wide receiver in the draft by far and would be ecstatic if we picked him. Jonathan Banks said Patton was the hardest receiver he had played against so that is a plus as well. His game against A&M is absurd
I speculated about this in the main thread, but could Brian Daboll's hiring indicate that we're looking WR in this draft? He's the only WR coach we've had who's successfully developed WR's here (Branch/Givens).
that would make sense i imagine we wont go wr in the 1st but it wouldnt surprise me if we went 2nd and 7th or 3rd and 7th. hopefully we get Patton in the 2nd or Da rick rogers in the 3rd
Where we target a free agent will depend what happens in free agency. 1. If we don't sign Welker, very early. Maybe 1st. 2. If we sign Welker, but not Edelman. I might say 2nd or 3rd round. 3. If we sign Welker and Edelman. Not really much of a need. Prob 7th.
i have a feeling this is the year we draft a WR in the 2nd or 3rd that works. We need a deep threat to spread the field and open up welker, gronk etc in the middle and on the intermediate throws. Look what Russell Wilson was doing when Rice when deep every time getting 15-20 yards for 3 or 4 consecutive plays.
Agree with this completely. I think the whole draft is predicated on what happens in FA, particularly Welker, Vollmer and Talib. Not re-signing any of these three creates a big hole. Other than that, I don't think there are any major holes that need to be filled giving BB some real options but also making it very hard to predict.

Not sure what else there is to write, the comments are pretty accurate. LOVE these chairs, they look awesome with my other mid century vintage pieces. I get lots of compliments and get asked if they were really expensive to buy. Most people are shocked to hear these beauties are from overstock. I can't comment on the comfort, I have them more as decoration piece, each beside my credenza. Otherwise, color may seem a little darker than pictured.
I love these chairs. They are super stylish and super comfortable. Unbelievable price. Great quality. If you know good furniture, you'll be impressed. They are brown.
The quality is fairly indistinguishable from the much more expensive chairs on other websites. They are stylish, comfortable, and a breeze to assemble (legs get screwed on). The legs get loose over time, but a quick twist tightens them back up.
I don't write many reviews, but these chairs deserve one. They are gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for in my dining area. I knew I would love how they looked - but I had no idea they were so comfortable!!! We are using them in the great room of our home - and it's an added bonus that I can turn them around from the table and use them in the living room for added space. Gorgeous tweed look - super easy assembly (just screw the legs in). Love them!
Good modern design at a great price. I would have given the product an excellent but the hardware on one of the chairs was defective and didn't allow for the leg to screw in. Overstock customer service handled super fast though and sent a replacement which was perfect.
LOVE this chair! It's comfortable with great style -- I use it in my informal dining room, and when I need more seating in the living room, it's light and easy to carry in. Terrific design, great price.
These are very stylish and comfortable chairs. I'm using them in my home office but may put them in another room I like them so much!
Great product and well constructed. They are very comfortable to.
Great price. Fast Shipping. I love the twill fabric. It adds a modern touch without being kitchy. It goes well with my traditional nailhead leather recliner and traditional rollback couch. If you are looking for modern without going overboard, this is the way to go. They are padded and comfortable. The weight limit is only 250 pounds. The only thing that I would change is to add something to the bottom of the legs, so they don't scratch up solid floors. If you have a rug, then there is no problem.
Love these. They are a little different from what's generally available in this price range. Quality is commensurate with price, i.e., not the best but what I would expect at this price - so in my book that's excellent! Comfortable too.
These are an average knock off production of the mid-century classic Organic Chair. My budget can't accommodate the real thing, so I'm presently using these chairs around my white Saarinen tulip table. They look okay, but definitely aren't the quality that best compliments such a classic piece. There's some "give" or flexibility to the chair, but that may contribute to the overall comfort. The size will not accommodate a heavy or large sized person. I'd also be worried that the legs would splay out further and collapse. Pros: Affordable Comfortable Nice, contemporary design Easy to assemble (did take multiple changing of legs to eliminate teetering) Cons: quality control (leg length not consistent, some wobbling, required a replacement leg...still waiting for) leg threads come loose with basic sliding up to and away from table and need re-tightening (going to glue them in) puckering of fabric near the seat back opening on some of the chairs only sold in pairs bottom of chair leg is rounded, and back legs are positioned at an angle, making it difficult to add glides or felt pads
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Accurate fabric color. Leg stain was more orange toned and lighter than expected.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Not exceptional, not terrible. Adequate for the price I paid.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate.
Overall I'm happy with these chairs. I wanted to add something mid-century to our dinning set but without spending a lot because we have messy little toddlers. They are not the highest quality chairs but you get what you pay for. The shipping is very fast and the chairs are easy to assemble. They do have an awful chemical smell but it goes away in a couple of weeks. I do agree with the other reviewer about the silver connecting parts, they really cheapen the chair. You cannot see them in the picture on the website but you can in person, it's very off-putting! Again, you get what you pay for. The chairs are very comfortable but I'm not sure how long they will last, they feel kind of flimsy. The fabric is a great color though, a brown/grey mix. Once our kids get older we'll splurge for the real thing but until then, these will do.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? the color is true to the picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. average
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very
Not only the design but the well known beige and tan combination is classic also, when I saw these beautiful accent chairs I ordered them as soon as possible. The material is top quality and I get the daily comfort I need. Even more, these chairs are not only comfortable seating utilities but the best decorative furniture pieces ever.
These chairs fit perfectly in every design. Let it be classic or modern these beautiful pieces give the high style and sophisticated look. I ordered this set of accent chairs into our weekend house. They had an amazingly affordable price and mostly, top quality. Whenever we go to our house we love sitting in these chairs. Great and elegant design and affordable comfort are truly the best you can find.
These came within a day in great packaging and set-up took 5 minutes. yare very mod stylish and comfortable, just hlike other reviewers said. I was concerned they would take up too much space based on the total dimensions but even with the flared arms they are very compact. Very light to move around, which I do to get closer to watch when sports are on, but still seems very study. The legs do seem to need to be re-tightened after using the chairs but still very happy with this purchase!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Just as depicted
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. So far just great
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate
Fits great around 46 inch round table... Very cute and modern but w neutral color, they go with almost any decor in my house. Comfortable, but legs tend to loosen and it makes me nervous that one might break. Tgese are on a tile floor...probably would be fine on carpet or a smoother surface... Like them for the price though
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Looks as pictured
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Chair and fabric... Good quality... Legs are a little weak and scare me... Always come loose
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Yes
this chair may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i like it a lot. it is comfortable and very durable.
These chairs are not my usually style. I bought them on a whim- something about them just attracted me. When I got them, I was glad I went with my instincts. They are just so comfortable. Perfect for relaxing in front of the fire with my hubby on a cool winter's day.
these are such comfortable chairs.really adds style and elegance to my living room.
These chairs are probably the most comfortable I have ever own. Very worth the money!

ok guys/gals i got a really small bump on my rear right tyre... It looks insignificant - my question - IS IT? Its about 1 inch diameter and not high and pronounced at all. SHould I worry... Obvioulsy don't want to change two tyres, is it ok if i change one...they are new.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Got any pics? If not I WOULD take to a tyre specialist to make sure. You don't want a random blow-out at high speed. A couple of hundred quid is worth more than your life /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif
Where is it ? sidewall ? tread ? If its in the sidewall chances are it will grow. Change tyre. Ideally you should change 4 tyres all at the same time on a 4x4 car, but if the others don't have much wear on them I'd just change the one.
Sounds like a form of blistering or rupture within the tyre, but I'm no expert and as Moff said get it to someone who knows. I would change it anyway whatever the outcome, because if it's a pocket of air it could blow out causing complete tyre failure. I can only see a reason to change one if the tyres are new, but also are they still covered under warranty?

Digging: Axis of Light - L'appel du vide
Album Rating: 2.5the catch 22 of the year
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offtotally amped for 5 million reviews album rules, 4-4.5 material
Album Rating: 3.0the invasion has started
I haven't really wanted to listen to this since the first time I played it.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffAlbum kills, I think this is right up there with TDAGARIM but in a different way
Digging: Faith No More - Sol Invictus
Album Rating: 4.5Great album
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffAlbum is great, review is good. A few spelling mistakes, and Sink and In A Jar are two of the strongest tracks on the album, though. Also its all too obvious your bias to TDAGARIM, the review would be better off without all of the mentions of how much better TDAG is, imo.
it is kinda unfair.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off"It's hard not to have a strong opinion on Brand New's brand new release, Daisy. " um... "The colossal wave of hype surrounding this album wasn't replicated by any other band this year." muse? pocupine tree? converge? etc. "Daisy, first and foremost, is what Brand New does best- progression." haha. everyone keeps saying this although it's clearly a regression lyrically, vocally and musically.
Album Rating: 3.0bright future my ass
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offholy hell! i agree with you for once.
yeah i was wondering too, is it for sure this is their last album?
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offif it's any indiction as to which direction they're going in, let us hope so.
Album Rating: 3.0wtf gyro i only disagreed with you on traced in air
Album Rating: 1.5i heard these guys are cool
Digging: Sandrose - Sandrose
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offpsh, brand new are no longer relivant to me. "wtf gyro i only disagreed with you on traced in air" thought we hated each other though
gyromania1 your constant attack on this record is getting really boring.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offwould you rather i not post my opinion in a thread?
it'd be nice.
