Actually, they're already built.
A few of you guys might have seen this unit I built for the UK GD a few years ago. Turns out someone else saw them and wanted a set for themselves, so has commissioned me to take another shot at them, keeping as much of the original style as possible, with a few tweaks to colours and certain models.
So we swapped the huge ogryn conversion out, since it's not really that helpful for tabletop use. The guy leaping over the wall pretty much got turned into just a normal running guy, and the crouching one got replaced because it is apparently a bitch to get a hold of crouching legs these days. Overall though, I managed to get the new squad pretty close to the old one, posing and conversion wise. Anything different is either due to client request (such as the double chain-fists) or because it's just not possible to use exactly the same parts as were used in the existing set.
So here's the progress after about 30 hours of cleaning parts, gluing and sculpting. I've wrapped them in spoiler tags because they're pretty wide, and will break the forum layout.
And here's the point we're currently sitting at. The reds are done, short of maybe a few extra details at the end of the project if there's time. A basic start has been made on the flesh tones which is really just a quick basecoat followed by a wash to define the shading. The plan will be to sort out the flesh across the entire unit over the next few working days, so that'll naturally involve some more work into the shadows and, of course, the highlights.
And that's it for the meantime!

Two open calls for residencies, more details here. Apply now!
Tue - Sat, 12 - 6PM / 212.937.6580 / 540 W 21st St. New York, NY 10011
Two weeks ago I came across Sarah Nelson Wright's compelling statement about Brooklyn Makes published here on Urban Omnibus. A thoughtful text for a contemplative project. I stopped by when she presented the project recently on the streets of North Brooklyn. Wright made three short videos of three different manufacturers in the Williamsburg-Greenpoint Industrial Zone, and then projected them onto the outside walls for two nights. Magical! It was like you could see right through the walls of these mysterious buildings to all the life and energy inside. Brooklyn does still make things.

WASHINGTON � A top White House official made clear on Tuesday that President Obama is committed to a 28% cap on the value of tax expenditures, which would include tax exempt interest from muni bonds,� for higher income earners.
�The president has not only shown a willingness to support that type of reform on tax expenditure reductions, he has led on the issue and put forward a specific and detailed of a proposal to raise over $500 billion,� said Gene Sperling, the director of the National Economic Council, at an event hosted by the Campaign to Fix the Debt.
Tax reform on high income deductions and expenditures should be part of any year-end debt package, Sperling added.
With 27 days left until the end of the year, the White House and congressional leaders are still at an impasse over a year-end bipartisan agreement that would stave off the so-called looming �fiscal cliff� � a set of more than $600 billion in tax hikes and $1 trillion of across-the-board spending cuts slated to go into effect in January. Tax increases and cuts in entitlement programs remain the key sticking points between Democrats and Republicans.
Obama first proposed the 28% cap on the value of expenditures in his jobs bill in 2011 and reintroduced it earlier this year in his fiscal 2013 budget. It didn�t gain momentum but rattled muni market participants who said it would increase borrowing costs for state and local governments.
Late last week, the White House made an opening bid on a budget deal that included a $1.6 trillion tax increase over 10 years, $50 billion in new spending in 2013 and authority that would allow the White House to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval. That proposal also included plans to enact several pieces of the president�s 2013 budget, including limits on tax breaks.
Sperling said there is �no reason� both parties can�t come together to avoid the fiscal cliff.
On Monday, House Republicans outlined their own $2.2 trillion counteroffer to the president, as the basis for fiscal cliff negotiations, proposing to raise $800 billion through �pro-growth tax reform� that would cut tax expenditures and lower rates. Sperling blasted the offer calling it �disappointing and unfortunate.�
�Recognition that we must raise rates on the highest income-Americans stands today as the critical key to unlocking the door to a bipartisan budget agreement,� Sperling said.
Meanwhile, at the same debt summit, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said that more revenues are needed this month to avert the fiscal cliff.
�Once that revenue is locked in, we can then turn to overhauling our tax code for the modern economy,� Baucus said.
While Baucus� speech echoed much of the administration�s policies for a budget deal including the call to raise tax rates, it didn�t preclude him from working on his own plan.
�I�m committed to tax reform, and I could have no better partner in this mission than my good friend Dave Camp,� Baucus said, referring to the Republican from Michigan who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee. �I�ve been developing a plan that will help create jobs, spark innovation and expand opportunity.�
Immediately following his speech, Baucus, asked what would happen if a fiscal cliff deal fell through, told reporters that he is working on a �plan B� option. Baucus said he spoke with, but has not yet given a detailed outline of his plan, to White House officials.
�The president and Speaker are the prime movers; they are the main negotiators right now,� Baucus told reporters. �The ball is in their court to work out a solution.�
Baucus wouldn�t provide any details about his plan except that it should avoid any �gimmicks or triggers.�
He said, however, that any year-end deal should include a permanent extension of the payroll tax cut as well as a long-term extension of the debt ceiling.
Separately, the left-leaning think tank Center for American Progress unveiled their own deficit reduction proposal Tuesday that would convert tax deductions into tax credits, return the top individual marginal tax rate to 39.6% and eliminate the alternative minimum tax.
By implementing a tax credit system, taxpayers could chose to take credits equal to $5,000 per couple, $2,500 per individual or claim itemize credits equal to 18% of a particular tax preference.
The group estimated that their plan would raise $4.1 trillion over 10 years, with $1.8 trillion from tax reform.

Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis
How Well It Works
Pain relief
As with hormone therapy, surgery relieves endometriosis pain for most women. But it does not guarantee long-lasting results. Some studies have shown:
- Most women—about 60% to 95%—report pain relief in the first months after surgery.Reference 1
- About 45% of women have symptoms return within the first year after surgery. This number increases over time.Reference 2
Some studies suggest that using hormone therapy after surgery can make the pain-free period longer by preventing the growth of new or returning endometriosis.Reference 1
If infertility is your primary concern, your doctor will probably use laparoscopy to look for and remove signs of endometriosis.
- Research has not firmly proved that removing mild endometriosis improves fertility.Reference 3
- For moderate to severe endometriosis, surgery will improve your chances of pregnancy.Reference 4
- In some severe cases, a fertility specialist will recommend skipping surgical removal and using Reference in vitro fertilization Opens New Window.
After laparoscopy, your next steps depend on how severe your endometriosis is and your age. If you are older than 35, Reference egg quality declines and miscarriage risk increases with each passing year. In that case, your doctor may recommend infertility treatment, such as Reference fertility drugs Opens New Window, Reference insemination Opens New Window, or in vitro fertilization. If you are younger, consider trying to conceive without infertility treatment.
There are various ways of surgically treating an endometrioma, including draining it, cutting out part of it, or removing it completely (cystectomy). Any of these treatments brings pain relief for most women but not all. Cystectomy is most likely to relieve pain for a longer time, prevent an endometrioma from growing back, and prevent the need for another surgery.Reference 3

Howard's estate is on target to get 2 feet of snow. Who is going to shovel the snow, Beth or Howard.
Howard's estate is on target to get 2 feet of snow. Who is going to shovel the snow, Beth or Howard.
Beth with those snow plow feet.
'Man hands' should be able to handle it on an occasional basis.
Beth is currently picking out the appropriate bikini for the storm.
You kidding, he probably requires his gardeners to have it cleared before he wakes up.
He is at least two people removed from the snow removal. The assistant allocates the appropriate funds, the property manager draws on them for an annual payment to the snow removal company.
I wonder if he gets new lawn every year ? How much sand accumulates ?
"The person who occasionally helps us with the snow removal"
Beth runs a great Household. remember when he said that ?
The servants will shovel and then Beff will go out with a shovel and send out a Photoshop with her shoveling snow in a bikini. She'll probably call it "Winter fun!!!"
Howard & Beth will be consulting their personal weatherman all day on storm updates.
My comments are based on my opinion only.

Welcome to my Minecraft modification! Currently, I'm starting on the textures and models needed for the next few updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically, I aim to create the Bionicle Universe, or at least Mata-Nui, in this modification. It will eventually include full Toa Armor, which when worn will grant the user Elemental Powers as well as an Elemental Energy bar, so use it wisely. The Toa Armor must also be worn with a Kanohi to grant greater powers and Elemental Energy, and the power of the mask itself. Arm yourself with Tahu's iconic Fire Sword, or Lewa's Jungle Hatchet, and much more!
Have no fear, because if you get bored of torching Creepers and making Cyrogenic Zombies, the Rahi will come into play! I plan to add in the 2001 Rahi (such as Muaka, Nui-Rama, Nui-Jaga, and more!), each with their own fighting styles and abilities, providing a fresh challenge for an experienced Minecraft player. Also included will be Matoran Mobs that live in respective villages that you can protect, or harvest masks from!
Many other features will be added as I work, progress coming faster if someone would volunteer with programming. Boss fights, new enemies, and continuous mask updates should also be coming along further into the modification. For more details, see the timetable below:
First Release: A few weapons and crafting recipes for Mata masks (currently powerless) and weapons. Each one will have a different crafting recipe using elemental blocks, like Kopaka's Ice Sword will be snow blocks and a stick. A few other small items should be added, such as Heatstones (function like Flint and Steel), Lightstones (for those authentic Bionicle torches),
Second Release: A Matoran mob that drops powerless Kanohi. The colors and mask should be randomized to make this mob unique in every village. This will also add in the various blocks needed for the next update, accessible in creative.
Third Release: Matoran villages that naturally spawn in the appropriate locations (ex. Le-Koro in a Jungle Biome), filled with huts and naturally spawning Matoran, Turaga, and Ussal Crabs!
Fourth Release: Mob update! I'm going to add mobs based on the first Rahi sets, like a Muaka, Nui-Jaga, Nui-Rama, Mana, Tarakava, Gukko, Fikou, Takea, and more! Here is where it starts getting good!
Fifth Release: The Kanohi Update! Powered Kanohi should be done by now for the Mata and Turaga, as well as a naturally spawning (but rare) Kini-Nui Shrine, where a player could fuse one of each Mata Mask into a Golden Kanohi! Prepare for a dangerous quest to find them all, as each powered Kanohi may be found in a different place! The Kini-Nui will also be a source of Toa Stones (or something to craft them), which will be used to make weapons infused with the Toa's Power!
Sixth Release: Bohrok! I'm working on and really look forward to this update, which will include all six breeds and some of their destructive powers. They will mostly just destroy a few blocks, and will attack the player.
Seventh Release: The Bohrok nest and the Bahrag bosses! A boss fight to save the island of Mata-Nui! Possibly with Energized Protodermis puddles that, when crafted with the corresponding armor/mask/tool, will turn it into a Nuva item!
Eighth Release: The Bohrok-Kal, dangerous servants of the Bahrag, will awake and attack the player after their queens are defeated! Prepare for a fight!
And so on with Rahkshi, more Kanohi, and maybe even Makuta! I'll see how far this gets off the ground, and any help with programming would greatly be appreciated. This will probably be a side-side-project with my social life (gasp!) and my other projects. I just want to know what everyone thinks!
So, with Dual Matrix making more progress than me, here are some releases he has put together:
First Release:
Minecraft Version 1.4.7: http://www.mediafire...cy75zzlgn4olo#!
Adds in Tahu's Fire Sword, Kopaka's Ice Sword, and Toa Seal Sword
Known Bugs include: Item names showing up as numbers and Toa Seal block not correctly looking transparent. Items currently look like normal Minecraft swords as Dual Matrix puts in the sprites. They are also only available in creative.
Second Release:
Minecraft Version 1.4.7: http://www.mediafire...re2rr9tyxl644oc
Adds Staff of Hunger, Staff of Poison, and Plantlife Blade (credit goes to CeeCee). Still only available in creative.
Third Release:
Minecraft Version 1.4.7: http://www.mediafire...fgkq956v9iigp59
Minecraft Version 1.5.1, use with Forge: http://www.mediafire...vaxdzo85x6b7mgv
Huge survival update! Adds in Protodermis Ore (currently sponge texture, breakable with wood pick), Raw Protodermis, Larger Raw Protodermis, Protodermis Ingot, Protodermis stick, Protodermis sword, and craftable tools from previous updates! See this post for more details. 1.5.1 update (you must use Forge for this), put together by the wonderful Eastonium, includes textures!
Installation Instructions:
- Download your selected release (usually the last one) from the above links
- On Windows, go to the Start Menu (or Run, for older versions), and type %appdata%, and select Roaming
- Open up .minecraft, go to the bin folder, and then open up the minecraft.jar file with WinRar, 7-Zip, or other program
- Copy the files from the modification into the window that opens up, and delete the folder called META-INF
- Run and enjoy!
Will be added in later, and probably updated. The skin looks terrible.
PREVIEW 1: Sprite Progress
Now updated, includes Great and Noble masks of 2001, Toa Tools, Turaga Badges of Office, Toa Armor, Disks, Protodermis Tools, Protodermis, Heatstone, and Lightstone.
PREVIEW 2: The Nui-Rama mob
Look out for this guy in Biocraft (when it comes out)!
PREVIEW 3: Matoran Mob
When they are implemented, they will have masks and hex decimal coloring, so they can be more randomized.
PREVIEW 4: Kahu Render
Look out for this guy in Biocraft! Also should have energy (similar to Energized Creeper) around wings in flight. This was just a quick render in Blender, since I couldn't get textures to work properly in Techne.
PREVIEW 5: Turaga Matau Model
Also will have Mask and staff when he is released, maybe minor air powers.
Here's some more by our brilliant texture artist TFGalvatron: Kopaka, Site with forums removed. -B6, Site with forums removed. -B6 and Site with forums removed. -B6.
And Gali by Takua the Chronicler.
Feel free to make your own, and they could turn up here!
Edited by Black Six, Apr 13 2013 - 10:17 PM.
Sorry but the Gali link near the end had forums. -bones

Customers searching for cheap energy deals might benefit in coming years from a research centre designed to boost the offshore renewable energy sector.
Feted to be built in the Humber area, the Technology and Innovation Centre would create 10,000 jobs and offer world-class research on green electricity generation, the Hull Daily Mail reported.
David Wells, business development manager at the University of Hull, told the newspaper that an expression of interest has been submitted to the government's technology strategy board, which, if successful, will see the developers take part in a workshop in October.
"There is some strong competition, but we have a good chance given our location and the green industry growing up round the Humber," he noted.
"We have the round three offshore wind farm sites and things are already happening here."
Meanwhile, business secretary Vince Cable has announced £6.5 million worth of funding to go towards training the next generation's green energy sector engineers.

Senate President, David Mark, said golf could lead Otukpo youths out of the tunnel by providing gainful employment for them in the future.
Senator Mark who stated this during the closing ceremony of David Mark Pro-Am Golf Tournament held in Otukpo recently assured the people of his commitment to the development of the game and sports generally in the country. According to him, the David Mark Pro-Am tournament remains an annual event and the next tournament would hold in February 2012. He tasked clubs in Nigeria and Ghana to invest in youth development as it is through such initiative that the values of the ancient game could be propagated.
Senator Mark is the founder of the Otukpo Golf and Country Club, Akpegede, Benue State, which ranks as one of the best privately owned golf facilities in Nigerian rural communities.
"The club is the youngest in Nigeria and most of the youth golfers are from that community. Golf will be a source of employment for these players, some of whom are already preparing to become career professional golfers," Mark said.
The Senate President, who is a double digit handicapped amateur golfer, is known for his commitment to the development of young golfers in Nigeria.
In 2009, his initiative, the David Mark Foundation, organised a youth development golf tournament in Abuja, to pick the country's flag bearers to the Tiger Woods Clinic in the US this year.

Boys Basketball: Chester leaves Massachusetts with victory over Gonzaga
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — The Chester High tour of America ended with a 63-55 victory over Gonzaga College (DC) in the Hoophall Classic at Springfield College's Blake Arena Saturday night.
The Clippers, who played in Florida and Wisconsin this season already, finished their journey by having four players scoring in double figures and fending off several charges by Gonzaga throughout the game.
Reigning Daily Times Player of the Year and University of Arizona signee Rondae Jefferson scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds to earn team MVP honors. Jefferson played all 32 minutes in his first action since last week's win over Penn Wood. He had missed Chester's last four games with shoulder soreness.
"I feel good," Jefferson said. "I am a little tired because I hadn't played in about two weeks, but it was nice to be on the floor again and helping my team."
Jefferson had help, as Richard Granberry recorded a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds). James Kirksey provided a spark off the bench by scoring 10 points and Darius Robinson crammed all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter.
That effort was needed as Gonzaga refused to let Chester run away, even though the Clippers never trailed in the second half. Robinson opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer to give Chester its largest lead of the game, 52-43. However, with four minutes remaining, Chester's lead was down to 55-53.
Robinson scored six straight points to make sure Chester enjoyed a happy ride home. The only thing that stopped Robinson in the fourth quarter was the rim as he whiffed on a breakaway dunk.
The difference in the game was the effort and energy of Kirksey, who made all four of his shots in 20 entertaining minutes. Kirksey also hit the floor for loose balls and helped battle Gonzaga star forward Kris Jenkins, who earned all 23 of his points.
Kirksey was a starter in the beginning of the season, but Chester coach Larry Yarbray made a decision to bring Kirksey off the bench. Kirksey didn't like it at first, but he's beginning to understand the Chester way.
"Sometimes it's about effort and attitude," Yarbray said. "Some guys aren't committed to working hard day in and day out and they take days off or aren't focused. James has started to understand his role now, which is good for us." Continued...
Kirksey transferred from New Beginnings, where he was a prolific scorer. Kirksey is beginning to adjust to his new role and thrive.
"I still play starter's minutes, but my job is to come in and get stops," Kirksey said. "I was a little discouraged when I was removed from the starting lineup. Now I understand the coaches want me to play defense and rebound because that's the key to winning."
Chester knows it will improve its offensive efficiency once Jefferson gets back in his groove. He scored 15 points in the opening half to help Chester to a 35-29 lead at halftime. The Clippers stretched the lead to 37-29 before Gonzaga closed to within 37-36 with four minutes left in the third quarter.
Kirksey and Jefferson combined to score half of Chester's points during a 12-7 run to close the third quarter.
"Kirksey's game has improved a lot," Jefferson said. "We made him tougher. You know, Chester basketball. He got stronger and he's more aggressive. I told him not to lose hope when he was taken out of the starting lineup. He's worked hard, which is good to see."

Publication date: 9 January 2013 On December 6, twenty Point University business communications students made presentations to a panel of judges at the CharterBank headquarters in West Point, Ga. The purpose of the presentations was to give the business students the real world experience of explaining a business topic in front of a panel of professionals in a business environment. Alan Kemper, assistant professor of business at Point University, organized this project with CharterBank. "At Point, we work very hard to provide students with opportunities to integrate real world experiences into their academic careers," said Kemper. "We believe that it is this kind of experiential learning that both complements and crystalizes the cognitive learning that takes place in the classroom." The business students gave professional presentations on the topic of Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation, including a general overview of the generation as it applies to businesses, how to market to this generation, and how to retain this generation in the workplace. Panel member responsibilities included listening to the presentations and taking notes about how students could improve their presentations. Panel members were also able to ask each student questions after his or her presentation was finished. "I believe that CharterBank's participation really helped the Point students to grasp the importance of the experience, and raised the bar for the professional expectations of the presentations over and above a normal academic assignment," said Kemper. Not only did students gain tangible and meaningful feedback about their presentations from the judging panel made up of CharterBank employees, they also received cash prizes compliments of the corporation. The first place winner, Daniel Harbin, received $300; the second place winner, David Harbin, received $200; and the third place winner, Charity Marshall, received $100. "Being a part of the Point business communications presentations was a great experience for those of us on the award panel, as I hope it was for Point students," said Donna Goodwin, senior vice president of CharterBank. "These bright, energetic students did a wonderful job presenting their topics. Those of us at CharterBank were proud to be a part of this academic assignment and look forward to partnering with Point University again for other student projects in the near future." -Joy Ugi, Communications Coordinator

31 dog paintings by Royal artist from Bolton to sell at Bonhams
Reuben Ward Binks, Black Retriever with duck. Est: $1,000-1,500. Photo Bonhams.
Thirty one works by the renowned canine artist, Reuben Ward Binks (1880-1950), who regularly painted for the Royal family, will feature in the Dogs in Show & Field: The Fine Art Sale on 15th February 2012 at
New York saleroom.
Reuben Ward Binks was born in Halliwell, Bolton in 1880 and was initially destined to follow the career of his father and become a watchmaker. However, he showed an early talent for painting and pursued this as a career after studying at Manchester Art School. He was later commissioned by the Countess of Howe to paint a series of her sporting dogs, and she was so pleased with the results that she encouraged him to specialise in canine paintings, and her considerable social connections helped his career to develop.
He subsequently painted for many members of the Royal Family, including King Edward VIIs terrier Caesar, Clumber spaniels for George V, Cairn terriers for Edward VIII and retrievers for George VI. He was frequently invited to attend the Royal Shoots at Sandringham, and sketched the sporting dogs there at work. The Royals regularly commissioned works from him and in 1930 George V presented him with a gift of a signed Van Dyke portrait.
The sale includes a painting of King George Vs Clumber spaniels at Sandringham estimated at $1,200-1,800. Other examples include Gordon Setters in a Highland landscape ($800-1,200), Black retriever with a duck ($1,000-1,500) and Six Otterhounds in a river ($800-1,200).
The 31 works have pre-sale estimates ranging from $400-$3,000 and are expected to fetch more than $21,000 in total.
Sam Travers of Bonhams 19th Century Pictures department comments, The selection of Ward Binks paintings we are lucky enough to have in this sale demonstrate what a good draughtsman he was and how he had the technical skill necessary to work at speed in order to convey the immediacy of the hunt and the fleeting moments that reveal character in his canine subjects. He has become a much loved and much sought after artist and his links with major historical figures only underline the fact that he was one of the most gifted canine artists of his generation - the lots in our upcoming auction are a fine testament to this and we expect there to be lots of interest.
The sale also includes paintings of a huge variety of dog species by such artists as Arthur Wardle, Valentine Garland, Percival Rosseau, Cecil Aldin and John Emms.

A Look at Flash tools for the Linux environment
Flash is today's tool of choice for animated, interactive web content. But Flash and Linux are worlds colliding. We'll show you the current crop of Open Source Flash authoring solutions.
Flash began in 1995, when Future- Wave presented a forerunner known as FutureSplashAnimator. One year later, Macromedia acquired FutureWave, publishing the first version of Flash in 1997. Most Flash movies are created in the Macromedia Flash authoring environment. The file format used with Flash movies is known as Small Web Format (SWF). The Macromedia Flash Player [1] has a virtual monopoly on playing SWF files; according to Macromedia, the figure is about 98 percent. Of course, these figures can vary depending on the kind of users you ask. There is no genuine alternative to the Macromedia player at present. The only hopes of that changing in the future lie with the free GPLFlashPlayer, where work is currently underway on Version 2.

Strong wind gusts blew debris off the roof of the dilapidated Family Fashion building on Market Street in Cheraw on Friday morning and onto the sidewalk. Some of the debris ended up in the street.
Hoping to eliminate the dangers of debris falling on someone, or causing an accident, town employees collaborated with the Cheraw Fire Department and used the ladder truck to send employees on the roof to remove as much loose material as possible.

Report: Allen Iverson wants out of Detroit - Detroit Pistons Full-Court Press - MLive.com Interesting...
I think deep down, we all knew why AI was missing so many games with a mystery back ailment, out of town, while DJing on the road without appearing at games. If he wants out, I hope Joe buys him out, saves some money, and just moves on. Keeping AI on the roster if he is pissed or has no intention of playing is just a distraction. It doesn't help him, and it doesn't help us.
I keep seeing articles saying that he has "sacrificed in every facet of his game". Does the fact that he hasn't played 48 minutes a game mean that he is "sacrificing"? Seems like just the fact that he isn't playing as many minutes would bring all his stats down but I am not sure that if you projected them out to his normal minutes that "sacrificing" would be the right word.
Just how reliable is this source? If Lou Williams is such a "great buddy" of Allen Iverson, why is he spraying about his "buddy's" professional situation on some radio show. To me, this sounds like some bench scrub blowing something out of proportion to get some run in the press. I'm gonna hold up on judging Chuck until I here his agent or he, himself give us the word that he wants to be bought out.
IMO, BOTH sides (the team & Chuck) have some additional sacrificing to do. Mike Curry needs to torch Flip's playbook and create some sets that highlight AI's unique abilities. AI needs to throttle back on his tendency to dribble all over the freaking court trying to get a shot off and trust his teammates enough to let the offense flow through him. This AI experiment coulda worked/can work if he and the team can meet somewhere in the middle.
I'm not really taking it serious, it seems like he was just expressing an opinion BUT there would be no reason for AI to ask for a buyout or even agree to one since it doesn't benefit him in any way
If Joe agrees to buy him out, AI instantly becomes a free agent and can sign wherever the heck that he wants (ie. Steph Marberry).
It would really put a cherry on the cake if they bought him out and he went on to win a championship with the Celts, Clev or LA. They have to find a way to make this work with the little time left. We look bush league for blaming AI and AI looks like a guy who is not a very good teammate. It benefits all parties to try and make this work.
It's an odd thing to say by someone who's supposedly a "close friend". The only way it makes sense is if AI wanted this to leak. Whatever. I'm a little disappointed if it's true b/c i didn't believe he would "fake" an injury (and he still doesn't have to be faking, just prolonging), and i wanted to see how he and AA meshed; there is a need for more scoring off the bench, but i can't say i'm surprised. He's really going to have to re-evaluate his expectations going forward. Does he want to go to a lottery team that will allow him to "be AI" or does he want a ring b/c right now it's looking like the first one. If Curry keeps the rotation as is, i'm going to start a petition for PT for AA. I'm not sure how to go about doing that successfully; maybe a blog to get the word out LOL semi j/k. I agree with the second part of this statement, but i don't think it affects the Pistons much. IF this is true, the only person who looks like a "cancer" here is AI. The Pistons whether by choice or stupidity waited as long as humanly possible to "bench AI". I'm not of the well LBJ is going to look at the Pistons and be like "will they bench me?". I think that's ridiculous.
Yeah, but he can't play in the playoffs. Marbury can because he was waived before the deadline. The article built around LW's quotes was kind of all over the place. I think the team has treated him well with the back injury story if what really happened is that he did not want to play anymore if he couldn't start. Curry has already said that he is going to have to practice after the 2 week time table was completed before he could come back. I'm surprised that this and Special K's quote from the other day didn't get more play. It is AI's choice in the end, but it would seem to limit the teams he can sign with next year if starting and "AI being AI" is the determining factor. Has there been one quote directly from AI or footage of AI receiving treatment from any of the local outlets?
Ok that flew over my head. I'm on about 3 hours of sleep so that could be why, but i think it was supposed to be insulting.
It's Ok. I'm still lost anyway.'' edited to add; the exact interview from DBB; sounds like absolutely nothing Detroit Bad Boys
I'm sure Louis and AI still talk, because AI probably helped him with his game while he was there...It's probably a thing were AI told him he's not happy about going to the bench and he's tired of hearing the talk about him destroying the pistons, & them being better off without him, etc....So at the moment I'm sure AI probably isn't happy in Det...BUT when he comes back if he plays well for them off the bench and the Pistons starting playing well that willl all go away, because in the end AI wants to win....
Dyess mentioned how the scoring load right now is squarely on him and Rip (don't know what happened to Stuck and Tay); and how things will get better once Sheed and AI get back.

Greywater recycling offers a way to repurpose discarded domestic water and go beyond low-flow fixtures and drought-tolerant landscaping.
By Jennie Morton
Once treated, greywater can be used as drip irrigation, to flush toilets, or for mechanical evaporation.
What do a running faucet, a kitchen sink, and a load of laundry have in common? They all produce greywater, one of the most underutilized resources in your building.
Greywater recycling offers a way to repurpose discarded domestic water and go beyond low-flow fixtures and drought-tolerant landscaping. You've already paid for the water – why not use it again?
The Case for Greywater Greywater reclamation is often pushed by building owners who adopt a long-term view of sustainability. A lower water bill is a worthy goal, but the bigger picture lies within your community.
Extracting water from local aquifers can have negative impacts on the ecosystem (Lake Mead, for example) and extreme weather conditions in recent years have generated a rash of droughts. Domestic water treatment is also an energy-intensive process that uses chemical disinfectants, among other measures, to clean water.
Any opportunity to adopt water conservation methods such as greywater recycling will benefit your building performance goals and the future stability of your region's water supply.
Terminology Breakdown Most facilities managers are familiar with stormwater, which is harvested after a rain. Greywater, however, is reclaimed from bathroom and kitchen sinks, laundry machines, and shower drains.
"Because greywater has soap, detergent, or biological material in it, you need chlorine or bromine to purify it," says Bob Benazzi, a retired consultant for Jaros, Baum & Bolles (JB&B) Consulting Engineers. "Greywater should also be filtered before it's released into your pipes."
Note that water from toilets is off limits. Anything that comes into contact with human or animal waste is considered blackwater and requires the same purification precautions as a sewage treatment plant. Some facilities may classify shower and bathing water as a greywater option, whereas others feel the level of bacteria is too high, Benazzi explains.
Treated greywater is commonly recycled in restrooms to flush toilets and urinals and for drip irrigation – applications where it couldn't be unintentionally breathed as an aerosol.
With added filtration measures, greywater can also be used for regular irrigation, sidewalk washing, and mechanical evaporation.

Team news for Thursday night's play-off semi-final first-leg clash between Cardiff and West Ham at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Cardiff manager Malky Mackay will select his starting line-up for the first leg clash from virtually a full-strength squad.
Four unspecified players all sustained various knocks in the last-day win at Crystal Palace that secured the Bluebirds' top-six finish, but are all expected to be back in contention for the visit of West Ham.
Striker Rudy Gestede shook off a hip injury to step off the bench in last weekend's 2-1 win and, together with fellow substitutes Robert Earnshaw and defender Darcy Blake, is pushing for a recall.
Mackay, able to choose from a settled squad in recent weeks, is expected to opt for Don Cowie in midfield ahead of Stephen McPhail.
Cardiff, beaten only once in their last 13 matches, are bidding to reach Wembley for a second time this season, having lost on penalties to Liverpool in the Carling Cup final.
The Welsh side are also hoping to end their play-off hoodoo after losing in last season's semi-finals to Reading and in the final to Blackpool the previous year, while they were also losing FA Cup finalists to Portsmouth at Wembley in 2008.
West Ham have a fully-fit squad available.
Midfielder Gary O'Neil was a doubt after taking a whack on the ankle towards the end of Saturday's 2-1 win over Hull but he has been passed fit.
Skipper Kevin Nolan is also fine despite suffering a dead leg at the weekend and defender James Tomkins has shaken off a knock to the head.
Manager Sam Allardyce was able to take off two-goal Carlton Cole and strike partner Ricardo Vaz Te early in the second half against Hull as the news Southampton were winning made the result academic, so they are expected to start up front.
Fit-again George McCartney (concussion), a substitute on Saturday, should reclaim his left-back spot.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR - June 22, 2013!
The General Assembly of IRS (held in Ascona, Switzerland on October 6, 2011) proclaimed the first Saturday of the summer the
International Ragweed Day (IRD)
to increase understanding and awareness of the problem this invasive weed causes all over the world.
We are urging our members to take part in the orgainizing work and go online and share their ideas and actions.
As a conclusion of the discussions at the Second IRS in Lyon a clear goal of this year's IRD could be a push for the development of a five-year national program (a synthesis of these programs would lead to a Europe-wide effort) to reduce ragweed pollen concentrations to no-harm levels. As a result, spread of ragweed could also be halted: if there is no pollen in the air seed production would stop.
General Assembly 2014
Our Society will have its next General Assembly in early April next year in Milan, Italy.
Welcome to our organization
The Society has been created by researchers studying the common ragweed plant.
The main cause of allergy and pollen asthma in North America and Central Europe is pollen from ragweed (Ambrosia) a widespread genus in the Asteraceae. In Europe short or common ragweed (A. artemisiifolia) is prevalent.
This situation requires a tight monitoring of he plant and the implement of strong control strategy involving not only farmers but also the staff managing natural areas, road sides, building- and gravel industries.
The destruction of many single plant foci may help reducing the number of seeds produced and may slow therefore the spreading of ragweed.
