Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, May 31, 2009.
I'd do a 180 and only look at his good qualities while ignoring his obnoxious tendancies.
King James left the playoffs as a loser - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
Just a warning about a possible Cleveland trade. A guy named bry66 on cleveland.com spilled the beans about a deal cooking with the Raptors:
Bosh sucks in 2k9. My Maxiell kick his ass so many times. [SARCASM]That's a smart trade I think [/SARCASM]
Why would Toronto deal Bosh for a player on the way out and a player of limited production?
They'd get cap space\relief for Wallace and maybe they're playing a lot of games against Denver next year.
A guy named bry66, eh? spilled the beans?
That would be 96 hugs per 48 minutes.
I think the one good thing about this is, it will show who are the hack writers (like we already didn't know) and the guys with some self dignity. The lebron suckups: LZ Granderson, Peter Vecsey, and Drew Sharp LZ Granderson: All LeBron did by blowing off the Magic is show that losing isn't pretty - ESPN NBA - Don't gang up on quiet James - FOX Sports on MSN Two of a kind: Sidney Crosby, LeBron James caught in the media's glare | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press Some self dignity, pretty much everyone else. Drew's is probably the most disgusting. What is he trying to do? Get a job with Lebron's entourage? Edit: Obviously I'm ignoring the idiot writing for Cleveland papers.
Lot of them are bringing up the Isiah thumbing of Jordan in 92. Thing is that the only time Isiah did that and James does it every year. If this was the 1st time then perhaps you could write it off as a mistake but its not.
Isiah also ended up not making the dream team, get go by the Pistons, and has been basically trashed in the media as a player and executive ever since that happened. Anyone think Lebrawn will get the same treatment? Not a chance.
Isiah did get black balled by Jordan being left off the Olympic team but he DID NOT get "let go" from the Pistons.........he ruptured his achilies tendon and retired. I also, have to disagree with you about his being trashed by the media as a player (I'll give you as an executive) he's always been highly regarded as a player with many considering him the best "little man" of all-time. Magic is the only reason you can't say best PG of all-time.
Ask yourself would you wanna shake Dwight Howards hand after he crushed your dreams of being the youngest player ever to be swept in his first 2 finals appearances? I think not! If Lebron was MJ I'd be okay with his bad sportsmanship; If MJ ever lost the world would end..... when Lebron loses its deja vu.
HE GOT FINED! 25k! LeBron James fined $25K for skipping postgame news conference - ESPN Stern admitting he's wrong doesn't happen every day.
25K chump change. He should have made it 75K. Stern needs to retire. He should be tired of boot licking by now.
"He understands why it was necessary for me to fine him $25,000 for missing the media availability." Oh, Give me a break! What a great guy to see the errors of his ways. I agree Winless. Chump change and Stern knows it. WTF? Does Stern call every player to ask their permission to fine them???
He's afraid he'll go and pursue his football career with the NFL.

South Africa admits error over 'schizophrenic' Mandela signer
By Olivia Kumwenda-Mtambo
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African sign-language interpreter accused of miming nonsense as world leaders paid tribute to Nelson Mandela defended himself as a "champion" signer on Thursday but said he suffered a schizophrenic episode during the event.
The interpreter, 34-year-old Thamsanqa Jantjie, told Johannesburg's Star newspaper he started hearing voices and hallucinating while on stage, resulting in gestures that made no sense to outraged deaf people around the world.
"There was nothing I could do. I was alone in a very dangerous situation. I tried to control myself and not show the world what was going on. I am very sorry. It's the situation I found myself in," he told the paper.
The government admitted Jantjie was not a professional interpreter but played down security concerns at his sharing the podium with world leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama at the memorial on Tuesday.
"He was procured. He did not just rock up," Deputy Disabilities Minister Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu told a news conference. "Did a mistake happen? Yes. He became overwhelmed. He did not use the normal signs. We accept all that."
After the memorial, South Africa's leading deaf association denounced him as a fake, making up gestures to be put into the mouths of Obama and his South African counterpart Jacob Zuma.
Jantjie said he did not know what triggered the attack and said he took medication for his schizophrenia.
At the White House in Washington, a Secret Service spokesman said it was up to the host organizing to handle program items such as stage participants or sign language interpreters. Continued...

An abject Payne apologized to the team and fans forgetting, in his grief, all he's contributed during his career. It was Payne who, as a freshman, hit the walk-off field goal to beat Mississippi State in 2001, bringing the Cougars' record to 12-0.
After a horrible start, which included a safety and only 25 yards of total offense in the first quarter, the Cougars rallied. The defense came up big on several occasions, playing as well as it has since opening against Notre Dame. On consecutive downs in the fourth quarter, the Broncos tried to pick up a single yard at the BYU three-yard line, but Bronco Mendenhall's defense snuffed both attempts and the Cougars took over on downs.
Todd Watkins caught nine balls for 211 yards and one touchdown while Austin Collie snagged five for 94 yards. Although Beck had the best game of his short career, look for further improvement as a young quarterback continues to recover from his opening game shoulder separation as he and Watkins keep learning to work together better.
Again, the BYU running game was painfully absent. The Broncos defensive line repeatedly penetrated the Cougar front five. It must improve if this team is to have any shot at the MWC title. Just as the BYU offense took the pressure off the defense in Boise, the running game can greatly improve the passing game. To do so, it need not be dominant; just merely a threat that defenses must respect, at their peril. If the rushing game nets even 90 yards and Beck shows further improvement, look for a big win in Ft. Collins Saturday.
Next up: Oct. 2 at Colorado State.
Colorado State 39, Montana State 14
The Rams beat the I-AA Bobcats for their first win of the year, and led 27-7 at halftime. Justin Holland was 21 of 35, but threw another interception, his ninth in just four games. Still, Montana State, which beat Adams State, but lost to Cal-Poly, managed 17 first downs and 308 yards of offense against the much bigger Rams.
Next up: Oct. 2 vs. BYU
Utah 49, Air Force 35
Turnovers were the story in Salt Lake City, including a disputed fumble recovery call that went against the Falcons as they were driving for a potentially tying score down 28-35. In all, Air Force gave up the ball three times and possessed the ball 34:33 to Utah's 25:27.
Next up: Oct. 1 Utah at New Mexico / Air Force hosts Navy.
Wyoming 37, Mississippi 32
The Cowboys never trailed and although it was close they posted what is easily their most impressive win in at least two years. Despite being out-gained 547 yards to 379, and surrendering 34 first downs while picking up only 20, Wyoming took advantage of Rebel miscues. The visitors turned the ball over five times and were flagged 14 times for 110 yards. Josh Barge returned the first Ole Miss punt of the second half 87 yards for a touchdown to open a 12-point lead. A field goal on Wyoming's next possession made it 30-15. The Rebels drew within five, but could do no more.
Next up: Oct. 2, vs. Louisiana-Monroe
UNLV 21, Utah State 31
John Robinson, one of the great coaches in college football history, is done in Las Vegas after this season. The Rebels coached announced after the game that he will retire at season's end. UNLV, playing at home, out-gained Utah State 550 yards to 291; had 24 first downs to the visitors' 14; and possessed the ball 36 minutes to the Aggies' 24. However, they handed their guests five turnovers while Utah State committed none. The Rebels were also flagged for 11 penalties to only four for Utah State. Moral: you can win a lot of games by not beating yourself.
Next up: Oct. 2 vs. Nevada
b><San Diego State 27, Nevada 10
After last week's near upset of Michigan, it's beginning to look like SDSU decided to field a team this year after all. Until the Wolfpack scored a touchdown with only seconds left in the game, this was a 24-point blowout.
Next up: Oct. 2 at UCLA
New Mexico 38, New Mexico State 3
The Lobos pounded their hapless non-conference, in-state rival early and often, winning for the 29th time in the last 36 meetings. It was 17-0 at the half, and 31-0 at the end of three before the Aggies hit a 27-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. The Lobos open their conference schedule Friday against visiting Utah in what may ultimately decide the conference title. Meanwhile, New Mexico running back DonTrell Moore, the best at his position in the conference, left the game in the third quarter with a strained ligament in his left knee and may not play Friday. If he does not, the Lobos will struggle.
Next up: October 1 (Friday night) vs. Utah.

Utahns trust their state government more than the residents of almost any other state.
In a recent Gallup poll, Utah ranked third for having the highest trust in the state government, behind only much-less-populous North Dakota and Wyoming. The poll found that 75 percent of Utahns have either a "great deal" or "fair amount" of trust.
By contrast, 62 percent of Americans nationwide trust their state governments.
Gallup analyzed the data and found that trust in state governments tends to be higher in northern mountain states, Republican-leaning states and less populous states. All of those things describe Utah, so it's no surprise Utahns are so trusting.

New Jersey Exciting Windows! Winner of National Design Award
Elliot Laniado, owner of Window Treats, was awarded the highest design honor of more than 100 window fashions designers.
"It was a close call, but Elliot's design showed extra creativity and attention to detail that simply put his entry a notch above all others," commented Susan Day, Vice President of Member Support. The window treatment design was created for a family in Bay Ridge NY. The client asked for classic yet elegant window treatments to complement the extensive mill work in their dining room and living room. In addition to the living room, dining room, and master bedroom, Elliot also completed a home theatre system for this client. In order to create a theatre-like experience, where the entire screen would be completely clear and visible, Elliot utilized motorized drapery with a Somfy Glydea motorized drapery track for easy opening and closing.
The award was a featured highlight of the Exciting Windows! Annual Conference to educate and recognize leading window fashions designers from as far away as California and Alaska. Many gathered for the three day conference January 26-28. Members were asked to share some of their amazing work from the past year. Elliot Laniado's entry was judged best from the dozens entered for recognition.
Laniado has more than 18 years in the custom drapery and window coverings business and recently opened a Hunter Douglas Gallery location at 80 Broad St., in Red Bank. The business has been a member of the Exciting Windows! network for over eight years and has enabled Window Treats to bring added values and special guarantees to their customers.
Window Treats Inc. was established in 1995 with the vision of offering the highest level of quality in window furnishings coupled with excellent service. To request no cost design consultations call 732-219-0303 or visit the website: http://www.windowtreatsinc.hdspd.com

Is The Future Of Social Media Holistic Engagement?
At last week's Young Presidents Organization (YPO) Conference, the main insight shared was that social needs to Connect, Engage, Influence and Integrate.
Human nature: our curiosity can often be provoked when a conference is prefaced by NDAs that prevent participants from sharing the discussion externally. Such was apparently the nature of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO) Digital Marketing + Media Network Event in Palo Alto last week. An event which included senior leaders from Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, among others. However, writer Todd Harrison was granted permission to share very particular elements of his journey. The net-net? That "next big thing" appears to be for brands to use 'social' more strategically, connecting with and engaging their customers more holistically to drive business growth.
Per usual, we culled some of the key points shared by Harrison:
- Social platforms & activities is where people are spending their time online: while people's use of portals is down (-24%) and search is flat (+1%), social's 52% growth belies a greater opportunity.
- Mobile devices may replace traditional PCs, as indicated by the children growing up with smartphones and iPads in their hands, but whom have yet to touch a PC.
- The battlecry in social – for brands – is to connect people to resources beyond purely the brand's products. According to Harrison, "Strategies in Silicon Valley are shifting from 'pages' to 'people and social patterns.' Connecting communities who search for the same items or have similar interests is the next phase of social. It opens virtual doors to do the things you are already doing."
- Companies' advertising efforts should focus on reaching customers at the point of commercial intent, which is defined as the point where identity meets relationship. This concept in particular is one that we would love additional context around, as it is not entirely clear exactly how a company identifies that point of intent within social (and specifically Facebook), where a user's decisions/behavior are oftentimes not public, nor transparent.
- Social can achieve more than just 'engagement.' Your social strategy should support a key strategic (business) goal — one that social can amplify and impact. Brands need to identify a metric to vet it against. Your business goal, however, is the place to start.
- Create a truly integrated culture that marries the power of your offline network to the connectivity of digital. Share between the two.
- While you're driving scale and growing your business opportunity, maintaining focus on the objective or mission you started with will be your biggest challenge. Keep that single-minded focus.
- With social media spend surpassing email marketing spend in 2012, media spend has shifted from 'what' to 'who.' Your priorities, says Harrison, should be to "Connect, Engage, Influence and Integrate (in that order)."

Here is my newest plaything... grunge paper roses.
This week, I have a different challenge for you... paper roses.
Whilst blog-hopping and fnding new stuff, I came across a wonderful blog called JoZart. She had made some fantastic bling using a paper rose from another great designer and blogger called Lynne Forsythe. Inspirational sites to see, so do go have a lookee!! Well, Lynne makes the most WONDERFUL paper roses and the link I have given you is to her fab tutorial... I think you should watch and learn, and try your hand ... so can you dream your tag with some special paper roses and at least one stamp ?? Go on... you know you want to!!! So ENJOY!! (with grateful thanks to Lynne and Jo)
When I first found these on JoZart's blog, I could not resist having a go for the box I was about to distress.
So I made 3 and sprayed them with Starburst Stains. I then added some ribbon, dyed to match. I used my heat gun on it to distress it too, as it shrivels a bit ... but beware, you can overdo it!!! A few beads added the finishing touch, so I have this ear-marked for a friend of mine's birthday next month...

Personal Branding plays a big role in the world of the entrepreneur. And while there are many tips and tricks out there on WHAT you should be doing to show your brand to the world, there is a lack of focus on developing the most important part of that brand: the YOU part.
Take-aways and topics covered:
What if we had a marketplace where Buyers and Sellers trusted each other? What would that look like?
The BBB reviews organization/business details to help buyers make informed decisions. Can buyers do this themselves? You betcha...takes some time, though, and you may need to dig a little. i.e. corporate registry, municipal licensing, professional licensing, website privacy rules & a bunch of ethical standards, too.
Why not go to the BBB? They do it all for you! Look for the seal. Found it? well that little logo means the BBB has already verified some 13 legal and ethical requirements (and they review it every year).
Come hear why you should be an accredited business.
How your brand is managed in the digital world is just as important as how it is managed in the physical plane, maybe more so.
In this webinar, we'll look at how the sales cycle has changed with the introduction of the "Zero Moment of Truth", and explore the 4 pillars of managing your digital presence: social media, listings, reviews and website.
We'll give you information on the tools available to conquer the digital realm.
Employee engagement is the foundation of a successful company.

Recruitment and selection can be time consuming, overwhelming process. Getting the right people into the right jobs takes a keen eye and an open mind. With an increasing tight labour pool, it is important that business leaders ensure that they are attracting and selecting the right candidates.
No more than ever, it is important to retain your top talent and this means taking a more proactive approach. It is much easier to keep existing employees than seek new ones.

The Right might want to hold off on gloating over Air America's demise
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
With today's announcement that Air America is shutting down, I'm sure it'll only be a matter of minutes before conservatives start gleefully insisting that this demonstrates that there is no market for liberal news outlets.
Two quick points to keep in mind:
1) You can either claim that ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/NPR/NYT/WAPO/ETC are "liberal media," or that there is no market for liberal media -- but not both. Please pick one.* Thanks!
2) The Washington Times has been losing money for two decades. In the early days of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch paid cable companies $11 per subscriber to carry FNC (and Rudy Giuliani pressured Time Warner to carry the outlet in New York City.) Point being: conservative media outlets have succeeded not only because of market forces, as conservatives would have you believe, but because right-wing billionaires like Murdoch and Rev. Moon have been willing to subsidize them.
* Or neither. That works, too.

1. Re: Something like fontmetrics??843851 Jun 16, 2009 9:47 AM (in response to 843851)Hi! All
To design Scrollable text you can use HComponent class. You need to first define default font for the component, now override paint method. set font and forecolor to graphics object and use drawString method to paint text on the component. to paint text you need to divid you text into string array according to the width of component, for that you can use FontMatrix object which will give you the character height and with leading spaces. when you break you string find out height of component and show that no. of string. On key event you need to increase or decrease the line no of string array and call the repaint method so it will look like scrollable text box.

2. Re: Something like fontmetrics??843851 Jun 16, 2009 10:40 AM (in response to 843851)I have designed a Scrollable text, but the FontMatrix class doesn't exists, and the FontMetrics class doesn't work, it throws a NullPointerException when I call it. I'm searching for another way to get the height of the font
3. Re: Something like fontmetrics??843851 Jun 16, 2009 11:39 AM (in response to 843851)hi!
i have come across different mhp stub and thay have FontMatric class inside java.awt package or you can also get the instance through the Toolkit class. To get the reference of font matric class you need to first set the font for current componet from where you want to get the FontMatrics class instance. you can try this code to get reference of FontMatric class.
public void paint(Graphics g) { Font f = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 26); g.setFont(f); this.setFont(f); FontMetrics metrics = this.getFontMetrics(f); // metrics = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetrics(f); System.out.println(metrics.getHeight()); System.out.println(metrics.charWidth('A')); g.drawString("Hello! How are you?", 50, 50); super.paint(g); }
4. Re: Something like fontmetrics??843851 Jun 18, 2009 7:42 AM (in response to 843851)hi!
thank you! if i try to get the fontmetrics using Toolkit class, it doesn't work. But when i used the HVsible method getFontMetrics, it works perfectly.

Fuse Launches Three New Series
Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:29:36
Big Freedia Videos
ICP is coming...and more!
Fuse, the national music television network of The Madison Square Garden Company, will be expanding its music-related programming line-up with the launch of three all new original series -- Insane Clown Posse Theater, G-Thing and Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce, the latter of which is a working title. Following a successful first season, Fuse is also set to begin production on the second season of Warped Roadies. These new shows -- all rooted in music -- reinforce Fuse's mission to bring strong, vibrant music content to the television landscape.
Production for the second season of Warped Roadies will start with the first stop on the Vans Warped Tour 2013, launched on June 15. This season will shadow old and new cast members as they hit the road for America's largest tour. Following the young crew from city to city, the show gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the legendary Vans Warped Tour and the lives of the men and women who make it possible.
For the first of three brand new shows, Fuse has taken its own digital video series, featuring hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse commenting on today's top music videos, and created Insane Clown Posse Theater, a weekly 30-minute linear program. After gaining significant attention on Fuse.tv, the show is making the jump to the television screen, where it will feature Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope's twisted take on what's new in music and popular culture. Every week, Insane Clown Posse will view a mix of music videos and viral clips and provide uninhibited commentary, as only they can. Insane Clown Posse Theater will feature comedy sketches and interviews with special guests in addition to the band's video observations. Insane Clown Posse Theater is produced by Fuse and is set to premiere on Wednesday, July 24.
Mark dem calendars, Juggalos!
In addition, Fuse has completed production on two previously announced series,G-Thing and Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce. G-Thing will give viewers a look into the lives of G-Fella, an Italian-American rapper, and his larger-than-life family as they try to launch the first "family style" run record label: Tracketeering Music. G-Thing is executive produced by Fuse and Paulina Williams, and will premiere on Wednesday, July 24.
Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce explores the underground world of the New Orleans hip-hop scene known as Bounce. The series focuses on local hero and outrageous personality Big Freedia and fellow artists Mr. Ghetto, Sissy Nobby and others as they struggle to take their music to the next level of success. The show will premiere Wednesday, September 18.
Both G-Thing and Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce have been picked up for an 8-episode run.
So there is a LOT of quality programming and content to tune into with Fuse. Do it!
Will you watch any of these shows?

I'm just sayin', I was seein' a lot of really dumb ideas posted and wanted to post something that was legitimate... I feel I have used the word "legit" wayyy too much lately.
I haven't gotten his free trial or anything, I doubt I need it but I'd rather be safe than sorry since I tend to be alone by myself a lot and don't want to get fucked over just because some homo brought a knife, or hes got buddies with him.
Most of it is common sense if you think about it, but 'common sense isn't so common'.
As for me personally, my training currently consists of a lot of stretching, balance practice, and practice throwing punches.
I sometimes throw punches with weights in my hands to get that extra power.
I usually practice target and hand-eye coordination by throwing punches while turning around quickly and targeting an object in the distance, so if the object was close enough it would be a direct hit.
I'm not eating nearly enough to do any sort of weight training right now though.
I think the most important thing is to learn to avoid unnecessary fights though, no matter how tough you think you are, there's always someone tougher.
I ain't gotta prove anything to anyone but myself, so I could care less if I run away from a fight in the middle of the night because some jackass thinks he saw me hit up a wall, at least I know I won't be getting arrested for vandalism AND assault.
Most punks who try 'n challenge you will backoff if you just push 'em, especially if you can knock 'em to the ground.
Intimidation wins and loses fights...not shit talking though, that gets your ass beat. Just "com'on, step, ready..." with a confident attitude type shit.
edit: oh and one other thing, I sometimes slap box my dog haha, I feel this really helps because its live interaction with a living thing, and it teaches self control because I obviously don't want to hurt my dog, but I'm quick enough to lean in and tap him multiple times no matter how he moves his head, and pull my hands away without getting nipped most the time.

This is a discussion on Homeowner Shoots Armed Intruder within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Rockbridge County man shoots gun wielding home intruder | WSLS 10 Rockbridge County man says he was forced to shoot a gun wielding home invader ...
Rockbridge County man shoots gun wielding home intruder | WSLS 10Sad to say the homeowner will probably take it in the shorts for having an illegal gun.Rockbridge County man says he was forced to shoot a gun wielding home invader late Wednesday night.
Rockbridge County sheriff R.W. Day confirmed Alan Gould Jr. shot the intruder in the arm with a .44 caliber Magnum revolver.
Day said the case is still under investigation but preliminarily it appears Gould acted in self defense.
It all started around 10:30 PM when Day said Lane Bowling, of Augusta County, burst into Goulds home holding an automatic handgun with a laser sight.
Gould said that laser was pointed at him.
I open the bedroom door and hes pointing a gun at me, threatening to kill me, Gould recalled Thursday from his property on Granny Lane in the Rockbridge Baths community.
He was really scary, Gould said. He looked like a monster to me.
Gould said four other friends were with him inside the home.
They were celebrating his girlfriends birthday.
Day said Bowling thought his wife might be inside Goulds home.
Gould said she had been there before once or twice and was a friend of a man in which he is renting a room.
Day and Gould said Bowlings wife was not there when he busted down the front door with a gun.
I dont know why he went in the living room, Gould said.
But at that moment, he thought it was his chance to disable Bowling and his gun.
He stepped back in front of the doorway of my bedroom. As soon as I saw him I just shot him one time and he fell to the floor.
Gould said one of his friends at the party then kicked Bowlings gun away from him after he dropped it when he fell.
Gould said Bowling then got up and stumbled out his front door.
Rescuers called to the scene found Bowling in his truck.
Day said Bowling was shot through the arm and then the bullet clipped part of his ear.
Day said he was in stable condition at a local hospital as of late Thursday morning.
The twist to this story is Alan Gould is a convicted felon and is legally not allowed to have a gun in his home.
Police in Amherst County caught Gould with cocaine and a gun last April.
He was convicted in January and will be sentenced March 10th.
Gould said the drugs and gun werent his. He said he was hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Day said that part of the case was still under investigation as well and charges against Bowling are pending.

The bacteria that causes Tuberculosis is a nasty little beast. The white blood cells that clear infection in your body work by ingesting bacteria and then breaking them up, and the TB escapes this by letting itself get ingested and then sitting inside your white blood cells. They don't sit passively, however, they burst out of the cell and recruit a whole host of other blood cells which surround the infection and form what's called a granuloma. The bacteria stay inside the granuloma and become dormant, but if they escape they can set up other sites of infection throughout the body.
The white blood cells that first ingest the TB bacteria are macrophages, which kill invading particles (be they cells or bits of cells, or even dead parts of your own cells) by ingesting them into a vacuole and then breaking them down. The TB gets ingested fine, but once inside the cell, it stops the cell from breaking it down. That means that you now have a white blood cells infected with a TB bacterium.

I got the moves
As in Cell when he is first introduced, no absorptions.
Who would win?

"Next time?"

i would have to say cell
bcuz im not sure if this is true but i tihnk piccolo is stronger than cell when they faught and piccolo was way stronger than frieza when goku faught him, and cell wasnt that much weaker the piccolo and plus android 17 is way stronger than freinza and cell absorbed him easly
Gohan your the man !!!

I got the moves
If Piccolo was way stronger than Frieza why didn't he just fight instead of Goku. Piccolo was nowhere near the full power of Frieza and he was only stronger than Cell when he merged with Kami.
Anyway, I'd have to say Cell because he has his tail to absorb Frieza which would take away some of his power. Plus, he has an equal if not stronger range of attacks than Frieza such as the Kamehameha and Special Beam Cannon. He also has some of Frieza's DNA so would be ready for what Frieza could throw at him.
"Then you've got the chance to do better next time."
"Next time?"
"Course. Doing better next time. That's what life is."

That's because the events in Frieza saga hadn't allowed for Goku to fight Frieza sooner (he was recovering in that tank in Frieza's spaceship). Besides, Frieza proved to be stronger than Piccolo fused with Neil (also known as Super Namek) when he transformed again rendering him useless in the further course of the fight.

"Throw down your arms and prepare to be violated!"
|This is a no-brainer. Cell is easily as strong as a Super Saiyan because he defeated the Future Trunks in his timeline remember? Thus Frieza would be anihilated in mere seconds.

Jukebox hero
It wouldn't even be close.
Think of it like this:
1. Trunks was stronger than Frieza
2. The Androids in Trunks' timeline were stronger than Trunks when he fought Frieza
3. The Androids in the main timeline were even stronger than the ones from Trunks' timeline
4. Cell was strong enough to absorb Android 17.
So, Cell was stronger than Android 17 who was stronger than the Trunks timeline androids who were stronger than Trunks who was stronger than Frieza.

Frieza power lvl : about less than 20 , 000 , 000
Imperfect Cell lvl ; above 25 , 000 , 000
When he abosorbed humans he had 40 , 000 , 000 or higher.
|Feb 8 2008, 03:05 PM Post #8
When Cell first fought Piccolo, Cell had already absorbed a whole town-full of people. Piccolo's strength was equal to Android 17, so Android 17 would have been about 20% to 40% stronger than Cell. Android 17 was more than 3 times stronger than Trunks, and Trunks beat Frieza easily, but Frieza may not have been at full power when he fought Trunks. Remember, it took Goku quite some time to defeat Frieza when Frieza was at full power. However, I reckon Trunks would still have beaten Frieza had Frieza been at full power.
Conclusion: Cell (before absorbing any humans) is definitely stronger than Frieza (100% full power). At least twice as strong, but probably more.

Cell all the way the proof is all there.

Cell crushed him.

See for yourself the cruel, frozen void that lies beyond the margin of Azeroth's skies!
What? No... when?
Cell killed SSj Future Trunks in his timeline, who killed Freeza and such, thus meaning that Cell is stronger, easily.

See for yourself the cruel, frozen void that lies beyond the margin of Azeroth's skies!
Fool? What's with that? Not impressive. For some reason, as of late, you've become annoying and quite rude to people, why? You were a good guy before. :'(. Anyways, it's not nice to call people fools, while it IS true that all power levels past Trunks' reading of '5' on one of Freeza's soldiers are just estimations, you don't have to insult people. I do not want to see you doing that again or I may have to warn you. Please keep your temper in line.

Come on relax.
I was joking and like the word "fool" is such a harmful remark
And I was laughing when i wrote the post, so I had no temper

you all had forgotten that cells base power is considerbly weak,even in his timeline while trunks was away he asorbed energy from the human population wiping most of them out,as cell stated...
Frieza wins due to the fact cell is completely weaker without asorbing..

A researcher for a German newsmagazine wanted to know why human nature is asleep in Canada. "You have no scandals," he accused me. "What about sex, what about money?"
"Does the name Senator Mike Duffy mean anything to you?" I asked.
"What about Senator Pamela Wallin?"
"No, but let me guess," he said. "Sex, yes?"
"No, no. Travel expenses."
A little pause, then: "You can't be serious."
"Well, it stirred up a lot of dust here," I said defensively.
I guess we're not making it in the big leagues. A lot of scandalous things happen in Canada, of course, but if one uses the word strictly for government corruption, it's slim pickings. There was the Pacific Scandal of the 1870s, involving Sir John A. Macdonald's cabinet, or one could mention Gerda Munsinger …
Someone might object that even one scandal is one too many, and Canada has had about a dozen since Confederation, or even a few dozen, counting provincial scandals, but this is piffle compared to other countries. Italy can collect that many in a single summer.
Besides, in Canada even the handful of scandals that have their own encyclopedia entry aren't proven. How can one compare Shawinigate with Watergate? The Pacific Scandal of the 1870s remains an allegation. We'll never know if anyone took a bribe in Sir John A. Macdonald's government.
"Give us a chance," I apologized. "We're a young country."
Whatever gave him the idea, the researcher wanted to know next if Prime Minister Stephen Harper was likely to call an election this year. I told him I doubted it.
"You have a minority government, don't you?"
I emphatically denied that, although I could see how it might look like that from a distance. Foreigners may think a majority Conservative government would be more conservative. Judging by the Canadian experience, though, a little conservatism goes a long way. It's what works.
My casual reply elicited the comment that one can't extrapolate from the Canadian experience. "Everything works in Canada," the researcher said wistfully. "It's bizarre."
I saw his point. One disadvantage of good countries, I suppose, is that even bad things work in them reasonably well. In Canada, for instance, a regulated society works better than it deserves to work. As a result, a lot of bad things are adopted in good countries. In bad countries, even good things fail miserably. Freedom didn't do as much for Russia and some of its neighbors as it might have done for better countries, and it's being reduced or discontinued.
Here's a test. Good countries don't require remarkable leaders to function. Show me a country that muddles through with a middling skipper at the helm, and I'll show you a country that has healthy institutions and no underlying malaise.
The real scandal was the undisputed $390,182 Sen. Wallin was completely entitled to spend travelling on legitimate senate business during the period under review
A good country is more newsworthy than its leaders. By this criterion, Japan is a good country and Uganda is bad. Few people could name the current prime minister of Japan (it's Shinzo Abe, but I had to look it up) whereas if people know one thing about Uganda, it is that at one time it was presided over by Idi Amin, and ruled by Milton Obote before and after him. Uganda has improved since Yowere Kaguta Museveni became its leader in the 1980s, but how many people would recognize Museveni's name?
Not many? Good. That's what's making Uganda improved. Suspect any leader whose name is in the news more often than his nation's.
By this standard, Canada stopped being a good country half a century ago. Our leaders, far from being insignificant, became only too significant. Nobel Peace Prize-winning Lester B. Pearson was a remarkable man with a global vision. Alas, his handpicked successor, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was even more remarkable. And no one could mistake Brian Mulroney or Jean Chrétien for anything but remarkable politicians. Unremarkable leaders on both sides of the aisle — Joe Clark and Kim Campbell spring to mind — couldn't get to first base in this country. Even ordinarily remarkable leaders such as John Turner and Paul Martin couldn't. Canada needed handling.
The researcher didn't want to leave empty-handed. "How much were the disputed travel expenses?" he asked. "Those senators you mentioned – what did they spend?"
As he asked the question, the light dawned. There was a scandal, all right, except it wasn't Sen. Duffy's $90,000 or the $121,348 Sen. Wallin had been requested to repay, or the $38,000 she had already repaid, or the $20,00 the auditors still feel uncertain about.
The real scandal was the undisputed $390,182 Sen. Wallin was completely entitled to spend travelling on legitimate senate business during the period under review. Multiply this by the number of sinecures built into the system for the cost of big government's big perks no country can afford in the long run. That is the scandal that Canadians ought to have sober second thoughts about.
"I'll let you read it in print," I said to the German.

South Sudanese: Don't Let Your Country Reach The Rock Bottom!
By Luk Kuth Dak
I have always had a love for history and democracy, spending countless hours in the libraries delving through history books and biographies among other topics. Also, am fascinated by ' democracy' having lived in one of the world most oldest democracies, The United States of America.
That leads us to the question of what democracy means in the first place:
Firstly, " democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state through elected representatives.
Secondly, " a form of government in which people choose leaders by voting."
And thirdly, " an organization or a situation in which everyone is treated equally and has equal rights under the constitution."
The list goes on and on.
But, if you take a closer look at the above definitions, you will find out that they in contradiction with the system of government that exits in the Republic of South Sudan (RSS).
When Salva Kiir Mayardit became the first elected president of the RSS, He made a promise that he will establish a democratic system of government in the country. " I will be opened for disagreements, and I will respect the freedom of expression, he was quoted as saying."
He didn't keep that promise, did he?
Today, however, the RSS is anything but democratic, and more and more it seems as though the President is the country, and the country is the President.
That's why most- if not all- of his supporters ( This writer included) are alarmed and dismayed by what we see and observe in the media. It's self evident that President Kiir pretty much wants to barricade himself with those who cannot say ' no' for an answer. Those who dare otherwise, he shows them the ' door of no return.'
Talk about a ' one man' show.
More alarming, The President has severly wounded and compromised his country's relations with the West, especially the US and UK respectively. His first visit after he ousted the SPLM old guards was to Khartoum, where he received an unprecedented welcome by the ICC most wanted fugitive, Omer Hassan al Basher.
Sadly, these are difficult times for our country, and we should continue to advocate for changes everywhere.

Jun 12, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterThe man charged with second degree murder in the death last month of a Shoshoni man has been bound over for trial in district court.
The preliminary hearing in the case against Shey Elan Bruce started Wednesday morning.
Bruce, 45, was arrested for second degree murder in relation to the death of Charles Darrell Laster, 65, and for domestic violence battery against Lavena Sue Laster, who was Charles Laster's wife and in a romantic relationship with Bruce.
Before lunch, the hearing's only witness, Fremont County Sheriff's Office detective Eric Granlund, testified.
The defense and prosecution presented arguments Wednesday afternoon.
Wyoming 9th Judicial District Circuit Court Judge Wesley A. Roberts found that the prosecution presented sufficient evidence to provide probable cause for the charges against Bruce.
On the stand Wednesday, Granlund said sheriff's deputy Kevin Rieman responded to an emergency call shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, at 115 Main St., Shoshoni, the home of Charles Laster. There Charles Laster had told the deputy a man named Shey had hit him and his wife in the head with a beer bottle, Granlund said.
Granlund himself responded to a call the next morning at the same residence a little after 7 a.m. A deputy and an ambulance crew were already there, and Granlund was told Charles Laster was dead.
The detective testified about an autopsy on the deceased man, which was dated May 31. Granlund said the pathologist found the cause of death to be a subdural hematoma due to a blunt-force head injury.
A subdural hematoma is blood accumulating between the skull and brain.
A sheriff's deputy and ambulance responded to the first call the night of May 14, Granlund said. After they left, Lavena Laster went inside the home and laid down on a futon, Granlund said.
She last saw her husband standing near where she slept, Granlund said she told law enforcement. Lavena Laster awoke the next morning around 5:30 a.m to find Charles Laster face down on the floor, and she could not rouse him.
With the charges bound over, Bruce next will face an arraignment in district court.
March 27, 2015: Conviction in beer-bottle killing upheld on appeal to Wyoming high court
March 7, 2014: Bruce sentenced to 4-10 years for Laster's death
Nov. 24, 2013: Manslaughter, not murder, is verdict in Shey Bruce case
May 17, 2013: Man killed in Shoshoni; deputies arrest suspect

Hi there,
I hope this is the right place to post this. I have directions for felting an old 100% wool sweater and turning it into a cute tote bag. I've never felted before.
The directions specify that the process take place in a TOP LOADING washer. Just like that, with great emphasis on "top loading". Why would that be? I have a front loader, can I not make felt in it?
Hoping to get some input on this. Thanks!
Hi kelly
i haven't myself really felted anything but i believe that it's easier to check to see where the felting stage is in a top loader
depending the yarn and the strength of a washer, detergent, water temp.. an item can go from nice and perfectly felted to a small shrunken mess quite quickly
so opening a front loader often to check on the progress of an item may prove to be really messy
i've heard it could be done in a front loader..i guess most wouldn't reccommend it for a first try though
i found this article about hand felting in a bucket
happy felting!
One of the other reasons it is more difficult to FULL in a front loading washer is because you don't have the agitation that a top loading washer does.
Just an aside ... Felting is done with loose fibers and yarns.
If you already have a fabric made from wool (such as an old sweater or blanket), the term to shrink & bind the wool fabric is technically called Fulling not Felting.
It's no big deal what you call it ... just thought I'd add this in so you can impress your family and friends (as if they don't roll their eyes at us enough with are fiber addictions ....)
Thanks! I think I'll sort through my friends and see who has a top-loader... now that I think about it, opening the front loader door is usually a risky business.
I had the same idea as you, as soon as I find a cute sweater I will do that!
I've only felted once, last week, but I think also the importance of a top loading is so you can open it during the cycle to check on your progress, and you CAN'T do that on a front loader. Apparently checking on your progress is pretty important. See my post Recommendations for First Time Felter? for some input from felters to me.
Also, next time I recommend you post something like this in the How-To Questions forum, you'll get more attention :waving:
Welcome to KH, it's wonderful here!!!!!!!!:hug:
I would have never looked in the How To forum! I tend to lurk just in the spinning forum
Guess I really should expand my horizons.

The Samsung Galaxy S III has just got some Cool accessories to add some extra functionality to this awesome device, Samsung will release the accessories with the device release on the Market, which is expected to be by the End of this Month.
Here are the Available Accessories for the S III:
Flip cover
Battery-charging stand
Wireless charging Kit
Spare battery
Car dock
Metallic docking stand
HDMI AllShare adapter
Samsung is pushing its AllShare wireless service for pushing music out to external devices with an AllShare Cast Dongle.
One of the best designed accessories is the S Pebble, an MP3 player that should function in concert with the Galaxy S III for more Music control wirelressly from your phone.
Samsung Also Introduces a Wireless Charing kit for the S III, It is an optional extra instead of regular charger, But you will have to swap the back cover for that is compatible. Customers had to do a similar thing with the Palm Pre: the original backplate was plastic, and charging back cover rubberized with a conductive coil built into the case.
