And just barely-- Major Mianda's helmet is very similar to the stripes TLC Pilot helmets, except it has some added dots on his head.
Did anyone else have their Toys R Us order for these cancelled on them?I'm pretty pissed about it 'cause it means I've lost $10 in Toys R Us rewards bucks and a $25 gift card (I just check the gift card to see if the amount got put back on and it did not).
Well - I got a response from my complaint e-mail and they gave me a reference number and a customer service rep is supposed to be calling me back in 24 hours.I've decided that I'm not going to just push for my gift card balance to be reinstated or for the $10 in rewards bucks. I'm also going to insist that they give me the $24.99 back as well.In good faith I pre-ordered those items while a sale was in effect. Whether or not that sale should have applied to these items doesn't matter.Essentially whatever benefits & payments I made on that order which essentially brought down my purchase of four sets from $100 to $50 + tax is exactly what I want credited back to my gift card.I'm also going to push for a case of these sets to be shipped to the TRU near where I work with a hold for me personally on them.Dressel is 100% correct, not putting the money back on my gift card and making me eat my $10 rewards bucks is like TRU essentially stealing $35 from me.

Happy birthday Dilip Kumar!
There is much to celebrate and respect of one of the greatest in history. Dilip Kumar turns 86 today. Hats off to you, sir! Readers: Which are your favorites starring him?
From his statement today: On my birthday today, I have a wish... may God grant mankind the wisdom to understand and follow the righteous path.
In other news, Ghajini is releasing on Christmas Eve now. Well, at least in India. Here in the U.S., there is this tendency to release films the night before the release in India any way, so I'm not sure that will change. Salman Khan recently shared his thoughts on the Mumbai attacks. Sensible stuff. Asin Thottumkal's second Bollywood film, London Dreams (2009), will star Salman and Ajay Devgan.
28 comments:
Thanks for the reminder. I had heard around that it is maybe your birthday today as well? Is this true? If so, Happy Birthday!
All the best,
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
p.s. my favorites with Dilip-ji are Devdas, Naya Daur, Andaaz (what a psycho in the end!) and Madhumati. How about your?
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Adab Sita-ji: I have a *lot* of Dilip Kumar catching up to do, but from the ones I have seen, Mughal-e-Azam, Andaaz, and Ram Aur Shyam are my favorites! I haven't seen Devdas and Naya Daur, can you believe that? And that birthday thing might just be true ;) Thank you!
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
I loved him in Aan :-) And Madhumati.
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
ooh and happy birthday!!!!
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- ajnabi said...
Oh, I really want to see the Dilip Kumar version of Devdas since I've been informed that it's the definitive version; I haven't gotten around to seeing anything with him except for M-e-A.
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- Nida said...
Wow--86! Happy Birthday Dilipji!
I've only seen one film so far with him in it--none other than the grand "Mughal-e-Azam"...and I loved him in it! If SRK is the most Over-the-top actor, Dilip is the most Under-the-top actor...his expressions were so subtle yet SOO effective!
Can't wait for Ghajini! Thanks for the update, Bollywood Fan!Christmas Eve would be an awesome time to go see this....
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- Darshit said...
Hey hey, many haapy returns of the day (ok, night)
dilip saab is simply superb. My favs are devdas, mughal e azam and Saudagar.
P.S. I have a birthday gift 4 u. Wait for 2 days.
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
Yes, my first taste of Dilip was in "Mughal-e-Azam" and I was so new to BW that I just thought he was a moody punk, then I grew to think he was HOT in subsequent viewings of his other work, I finally "got" his appeal. And Shweta, Dilip's is SO CRAZY in the end of Andaaz, I remember ssing that part and thinking "Ahh,SRK is imitating Dilip's psycho performance here, but in almost every part he plays."
And Nawab TheBollywoodFan, with confirmation of your birthday, I present you with this. I choreographed the pom pom work:
All the best birthday wishes,
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
Nida, I accidently called you shweta in my Dilip comments. Opps, getting my bloggers mixed up. :)
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Memsaab: I really like this song from Aan, should check out the movie soon. And thank you for the wishes!
Ajnabi: I'm almost on the same boat, but from what I've seen of him, to me, he's already in my top three of all time (the other two being Amitabh and Aamir).
Nida: Wouldn't it be great to have him appear in a film this decade? Even if it is a little guest appearance. He's really good with his facial expressions, true! And I like the under-the-top actor comment :) It's amazing how, as you say, he could be so subtle yet so effective!
I hope we get Ghajini over Christmas eve! That'd be a treat.
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Darshit: Thank you dude! Of course, Saudagar! It's been so long since I've seen it, I still have a copy. Dilip and Raj Kumar were great in it. If I recall correctly, it was released the same year as Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahin. The best presents I can receive are prayers and good wishes, so as long as you send some of those my way, we're cool! :)
Sita-ji: I think (as many others do) there's a lot of truth to that SRK-Dilip connection ;) ROTFL at that YouTube video, thank you, thank you, it made my day!!! That pom pom choreography is brilliant, it fits right in! :P
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- Rum said...
I adore Dilip, he's sooo emo and brilliant. Though I've seen a million of his young guy roles I actually prefer him as an older guy especially in Mashaal, gawsh he was such a journalist to look up to! And I also loved him in Shakti and even the silly Vidhaata, he tended to have the best faceoff scenes in the Subhash Ghai movies!
- Thursday, December 11, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Rum: Thank you! I just searched for Vidhaata, and it's a Subhash Ghai film starring Dilip, Sanjay Dutt, and Shammi Kapoor! What a cast!
You have all given me much to check out, and I'll be starting with these and Naya Daur, which I've heard great things about as well.
- Friday, December 12, 2008
- Shweta Mehrotra Gahlawat said...
I must admit I have seen v little of Dilip as well- no more than 6 movies I am sure- including of course mughal-e-azam and naya daur. Vidhata sounds good- will look out for it.
- Friday, December 12, 2008
- Richard S. said...
A belated happy birthday to the Bollywood Fan and Dilip Kumar!
I haven't seen that many whole films with Dilip Kumar either, but have seen many, many clips.
I saw him and liked him both Mughal-e-Azam and Yahudi, but when I think of Dilip Kumar, the first film I think of is Naya Daur - that's my favorite.
I've also really enjoyed watching him in clips from Kohinoor and Gunga Jumna, two that I have to pick up soon.
- Friday, December 12, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Shweta and Richard: We're on the same boat then! :) I've heard nothing but great things about Yahudi and Naya Daur, thanks for sharing your favorites. I have Ganga Jumna, and should probably start with it.
Richard: Thank you for the wishes! I had never bothered to check which actors I shared birthdays with -- Dilip is great!
- Friday, December 12, 2008
- Ellie said...
One of my favorite things about reading this blog is the list I get to put together of great movies yet to come! I am working through all the Filmfare winners in chronological order, so Mugal-e-Azam is up soon for me. I can't wait! Slightly embarrassing question: Is "Ganga Jumna" the same as the over-the-top fabulous movie that I know and love as "Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswati"? And-- happy (belated, now) birthday, Bollywood Fan!
- Saturday, December 13, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Hi Ellie, and thank you! :) Mughal-e-Azam is one of the all-time greats, and it's immensely enjoyable, I'm certain you'll find much to like about it! Ganga Jumna (also spelled Ganga Jamuna) is a separate film (easy to confuse the names!), here's its Wikipedia entry.
That's a great starting point, going through Filmfare Award winners! Once you're done with them (which I imagine will take some time), I'd encourage you to check out some of the others nominated for the awards too. There are so many movies, so little time... :)

Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand are the only ones left from the glorious days of Hindi Cinema (1950s). I loved him in Azaad - a swash-buckling adventure that starred him opposite Meena Kumari. The movie was so much fun and so unexpected from the *Tragedy King* and *Tragedy Queen*!
PS: Happy Birthday (Belated) to you, too!
- Sunday, December 14, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Hi Bollyviewer: The more I see of the 1950s, the more I agree with that decade being one of the best. Azaad is on my shopping list, thanks! Although I need to put a freeze on purchasing for a couple of months, because there are so many yet to see (I'm sure all of us can relate to that, LOL). And thank you also for the birthday wishes :)
- Sunday, December 14, 2008
Dilip and AB Snr were very good in "Shakti" (1982) - awesome movie - one of my favourties. Smita Patil too did a good job. A young Rakhee was AB's mom in the movie!
- Monday, December 15, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Anonymous: Thank you for the Shakti! What a cast! Rum mentioned it above too, and I'm looking forward to it already. Cheers!
- Monday, December 15, 2008
I just read that it was your b'day also. I didn't know it dude, so sorry for the late wishes but - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Belated Happy Budday TBF!!!!!
And Belated HAppy Budday to Dilip saab. I love him in Ganga Jumna (honestly, when I first saw Lagaan, Aamir's dancing in Radha Kaise Na Jale reminded me of Dilip Kumar in Nain Lad Gaye Hain To Manwa Maa), Madhumati and Mughal E Azam. Looking fwd to Ghajini- that Behka song is lovely!
- Thursday, December 18, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Thanks Pitu! Acha, to Ganga Jumna is moving up the to-watch list fast now! ;) Thanks for the recommendations. Speaking of Lagaan, I'd love to know your take on this post.
Ghajini is almost here! Sweet!

Salamoona and Hello, Yusuf Khan Lala! Remember me? You honored me by inviting me to your hotel when you came to Detroit to introduce Lata at her concert more than two decades ago. I was honored by you. I told you that we both had something in common: You are the FIRST Pukhtun in history to have topped the list of Indian film artists, I am the first Pukhtun in history to have earned a doctorate in engineering. May you live a long, happy, and healthy life! I hope you got my letter.

Guide to Hepatitis B for People Living With HIV
June 2009
For Martin Delaney
Welcome to this treatment guide for HIV-positive people who also have hepatitis B (HBV). This guide provides information on the prevention, care, and treatment of HBV, and the impact of HBV on HIV disease. It is designed to be accessible to people with no medical training. Where medical terms are used, they are explained in detailed but simple language.
Because HIV and hepatitis viruses are transmitted in similar ways, having both HIV and hepatitis B (known as HIV/HBV coinfection) is possible. This guide focuses on coinfection with HIV and hepatitis B, but since most of our understanding of hepatitis B comes from research studies done in people without HIV, most of the information provided here should also be useful for people who have HBV alone.
While people with HIV/HBV coinfection are living longer and healthier lives with effective HIV treatment, slower-progressing liver disease caused by hepatitis B, such as liver cancer and liver failure, are now emerging as major health concerns. There are many complicating factors in HIV/HBV coinfection that can change disease progression, depending on when you're infected with these viruses and how long you've had them. These factors underscore the importance of an individual approach to your own health care. Being informed about the range of care and treatment choices available to you may help you feel more in control of your health-care decisions.
At the end of this guide, we have included a list of organizations that can provide support, financial assistance, and current medical information. We have also included a glossary that defines some of the medical terms used in this guide.
Hepatitis B treatment options have greatly expanded in the last ten years, and our understanding of chronic HBV disease is likely to change as new research findings emerge. Please check online for updates at www.treatmentactiongroup.org.
You can request additional printed copies free of charge, or download the guide as a PDF from our website. A version in Spanish is also available.
This publication was written and compiled by Lei Chou. Sections of this guide were adapted from Guide to Hepatitis C for People Living with HIV, written by Tracy Swan and Simon Collins. Additional editorial comments were provided by Tracy Swan, Scott Morgan, Xavi Franquet, Francesc Martínez, Wim Vandevelde, and members of the Hepatitis B Information and Support List: Christine M. Kukka, Pam Ladds, and Edward Peritz. Thank you!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
London's Sunday Times reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking to discredit US President Barack Obama over the nuclear deal recently signed between Western powers and Iran.
According to the report, Netanyahu has ordered the Mossad and other Israeli intelligence bodies to find evidence that Iran is or soon will be in violation of the agreement hammered out in Geneva last week.
Israel, as well as many neighboring Arab states, were furious with Obama for pushing through the Geneva deal, even though it leaves Iran with all the material and facilities needed to resume its pursuit of nuclear weapons in the future.
"Everyone has his own view regarding the Geneva agreement," an Israeli intelligence source told the newspaper. "But it is clear that if a smoking gun is produced, it will tumble like a house of cards."
Netanyahu reportedly believes that if strong evidence of the Iranian regime's unreliable nature can be produced, Obama will find it next to impossible to sell the nuclear deal to Congress.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made clear in a weekend interview with the Financial Times that his government has no intention of dismantling certain problematic nuclear facilities at any stage of its arrangement with the West.
"One hundred percent [no]," responded Rouhani when asked if Iran would consider closing the underground Fordow enrichment facility and the Arak heavy water reactor as part of later stages of the deal.

Memphis' East Buntyn neighborhood is gearing up for the fifth annual East Buntyn Artwalk, a celebration of art and community that happens April 27.
St. James Church at 461 S. Prescott St. will serve as the event's hub, hosting live music, a silent auction, food trucks and more. For the event, homeowners will host regional artists in their front yards to create an open-air bazaar of galleries around the neighborhood. The galleries will display and sell work and will represent an expected pool of more than 60 artists.
St. James Church also will host a silent auction tent, live entertainment and food trucks.

The state Senate has approved legislation that changes the way certain charter schools are authorized.
The measure sponsored by Republican Sen. Dolores Gresham of Somerville was approved 20-12 on Thursday. The House version was approved 62-30 last year. It must now approve technical changes made by the Senate before heading to the governor for his consideration.
Under the legislation, the State Board of Education would become an authorizer and be able to overrule local school board decisions on charter applications in five counties where there are failing schools.
Those counties include the state's four largest cities: Davidson, Hamilton, Knox and Shelby. Hardeman County also would be affected.
Currently, local school boards decide whether to authorize a charter application, and opponents of the legislation say it should stay that way.

The Internal Revenue Service says more than 16,000 Tennesseans who didn't file their tax returns in 2010 are due refunds totaling more than $12.8 million.
The IRS says those who are owed refunds have a deadline of April 15 to file their 2010 tax return in order to collect the money.
There is no penalty for filing late for a refund. However, in order to get the money, taxpayers have three years to file a return to claim a refund.
Nationwide, more than 900,000 people who did not file a tax return in 2010 are due almost $760 million in refunds.
If the refund is not claimed within the three-year window, the money becomes the property of the U.S. Treasury.
A proposed constitutional amendment calling for the popular election of the state's attorney general has failed again in the Senate.
The measure sponsored by Republican Sen. Mae Beavers of Mt. Juliet was defeated 16-15 on Thursday after failing to get a majority of 17 votes. It failed to pass 15-14 last month.
Under the state's constitution, the attorney general is appointed to an eight-year term by the state Supreme Court.
Senate Majority Leader Jim Kyle was the only Democrat to vote for the measure on Thursday.
Kyle has said the popular election of the attorney general could present the best opportunity for a Democrat to run a competitive statewide race. The only current positions elected by the entire state are the governor and the Tennessee's two U.S. senators.
Under Senate rules, Beavers cannot bring the measure up again.
Sales of U.S. existing homes slipped in February to their lowest level since July 2012 as severe winter weather, rising prices and a tight supply of homes discouraged buyers.
The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that sales declined 0.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.6 million. That was the sixth decline in the past seven months.
Freezing temperatures and snowstorms likely kept many buyers from visiting open houses. And higher mortgage rates have weighed on sales since last fall.
Still, there were some signs that the market could pick up in the coming months. Sales improved in the South and West, where weather was less of a factor. And more people decided to sell, boosting the supply of available homes 6.4 percent to 2 million.
Home prices are rising despite the sluggish sales, a sign that the number of homes for sale remains low. The median sales price has risen 9.1 percent in the past year, the Realtors said, to $189,000.
Investors are accounting for an increasing share of purchases, while first-time buyers remain historically low. All-cash sales, which are mostly by investors, rose to 35 percent of purchases in February, up from 32 percent a year ago.
First-time buyers accounted for only 28 percent of sales in February, slightly more than in January. That's far below the 40 percent that's typical of a healthy market. First-time buyers are being held back by tight credit standards and high levels of student loan debt, the Realtors said.
Sales of existing homes climbed steadily in the first half of last year, reaching an annual pace of 5.38 million in July. And sales totaled 5.1 million in all of 2013, the most in seven years. That's still below the 5.5 million that is consistent with a healthy housing market.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages declined last week, edging closer to historically low levels.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for the 30-year loan fell to 4.32 percent from 4.37 percent last week. The average for the 15-year mortgage eased to 3.32 percent from 3.38 percent.
Mortgage rates have risen about a full percentage point since hitting record lows roughly a year ago.
The increase was driven by speculation that the Federal Reserve would reduce its $85 billion-a-month bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term interest rates low.
Deeming the economy to be gaining strength, the Fed announced in December and January — and again on Wednesday — that it was reducing its monthly bond purchases.
The Fed said after its latest two-day policy meeting that even after it raises short-term interest rates, the job market strengthens and inflation rises, the central bank expects its benchmark short-term rate to stay unusually low.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.6 point. The fee for a 15-year loan also held steady at 0.6 point.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage edged up to 2.49 percent from 2.48 percent. The average fee remained at 0.4 point.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage fell to 3.02 percent from 3.09 percent. The fee was unchanged at 0.4 point.

The U.S. Supreme Court decision that upholds a ban on all material support to terrorist organizations would likely have meant no IRA ceasefire in Northern Ireland and no Irish peace process.
Chief Justice John Roberts found that any kind of help to a named terrorist organization, even its political wing, would "bolster the terrorist activities of that organization."
That is not necessarily so. Engaging terrorist groups and their supporters in dialogue can actually have the impact of helping end that violent campaign.
There is case history on this in Northern Ireland. If Roberts and other justices had studied what happened to the Irish Republican movement when U.S. supporters and indeed, President Clinton reached out to try and end the violence in the North, they might have come to a very different conclusion.
The American involvement involved a deep dialogue with Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA, to try and dissuade them from violence and move them towards a political accommodation.
It also involved the Clinton White House taking a considerable risk even when the IRA campaign was going on by giving a visa to Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams.
Such a move under this new legislation would be virtually impossible in this one size fits all kind of legislation. The Clinton White House role in the visa which led directly to the ceasefire and the Good Friday Agreement, wrought as much by President Clinton's emissary Senator George Mitchell as any other figure, would simply never have happened.
Irish American supporters knew there was an ongoing discussion within the Irish Republican movement as to the correct way forward, whether to continue the armed campaign or create an entirely new political dimension, involving the non-violent nationalist parties in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.
A key persuader in that argument were Irish Americans who engaged with the Republican movement and pointed out to them the immense benefits to be gained if a political alternative was created.
The benefits included access to the U.S., involvement by the president of the United States in the negotiating process, and the ability to have their message heard throughout the world after decades of censorship.
All those arguments proved to be a very important part of the persuading process. Adams later stated that without the American involvement an IRA ceasefire and the subsequent peace process might never have happened.
Under the federal law just upheld by the Supreme Court such activities would have been illegal.
It is clear that negotiation and dialogue will not work in every process involving named terrorist organizations.
The reality, however, is that there is no sense at all in permanently shutting down the opportunity for dialogue for those who support violent means.
As the Northern Ireland peace process shows, such involvement can actually lead to the end of an armed campaign.
Yes, certain terrorist groups are outside the pale, but not all. The world is an infinitely complex place where one man's terrorist is another one's freedom fighter.
Within many of those terrorist groups are figure seeking a different way forward.
By shutting down any dialogue with such groups the Supreme Court is committing a major blunder. The example of Ireland is there for all to see.

Around nine years ago Scott Blake was walking to St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral when he noticed a window in the tower at the historic James Lee House in Victorian Village had been blown out, exposing it to the elements.
Scott Blake, president of the Victorian Village Inc. Community Development Corp., has been working for years to see a new use for the historic James Lee House.
(Daily News/Andrew Breig)
Blake, president of the Victorian Village Inc. Community Development Corp., was incensed that the window had not been replaced and began making inquiries about who should be making the repairs only to be told that he could fix the window himself if he cared so much.
So that's just what he did.
"I got to see the house and really fell in love with it," Blake said. "I thought something's got to be done with this or it's going to be lost. It only had a few years left before it would be beyond repair."
Now, the Lee House, just like Victorian Village, is poised for a major comeback. Several projects in the pipeline, including the Lee House, will help breathe new life into the historic neighborhood.
For Blake, who has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years and run the Victorian Village CDC for seven, the projects happening there are the fruits of dogged determination and persistence in the face of a city that appeared to collectively shrug its shoulders at the district's needs.
"I guess in the big picture of the history of the neighborhood it's been a blink of the eye," Blake said. "The process over the last seven years has sometimes been frustrating and often rewarding."
The 10-square-block neighborhood bound by Poplar Avenue, Danny Thomas Boulevard, Madison Avenue and Manassas Street is abuzz with activity.
Thanks to funds from the city of Memphis, the Mallory Neely museum opened in November after being closed in 2005 because of budget cutbacks. Financial support from the Victorian Village CDC and the Association for the Preservation of Antiquities has allowed the Woodruff- Fontaine House to enlarge its event space, giving it enough room to host 400 people.
The nearby Lee House is being transformed into a bed-and-breakfast inn. The city transferred the long-dormant property to Jose Velazquez and his company, which plan to invest around $2 million in private capital to reconstruct the antebellum home. Built in 1847 and listed in the Library of Congress, the original home of Memphis College of Art sat empty for more than half a century.
Blake is pleased but not satisfied with the progress that is being made on the neighborhood's historic homes and is exploring multiple avenues for growing the residential base in Victorian Village while making sure it serves as a crucial link between two major employment areas, the Downtown core and the Memphis Medical Center.
"Our goal is to really bring this back as a very diverse urban neighborhood and what's really attracting people now to places to live are places where you can walk or bike to work, and have shops and produce in a really tight grouping and that's beginning to happen," Blake said.
Kevin Woodyard, a native Memphian with vast experience in the food industry, is turning the old Neely's Bar-B-Que location into a creperie called Monsieur DeMarcus, Woodyard's middle name.
Woodyard, who learned the art of crepe making after moving to New York City 10 years ago, said Victorian Village was a perfect location because it was in between the economic hubs of the Downtown core and the Medical Center.
"I wanted to be closer to tourism, which is the Downtown area, and an area like the Medical District, where there will always be great employment," Woodyard said.
Design work is underway on a remaking of Morris Park, the city park at the corner of Poplar and Manassas.
Victorian Village Inc. and partners Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, Memphis Medical Center, The Urban Child Institute and St. Mary's contributed half the $70,000 cost of the design work with the city chipping in the other half. Blake said Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. is also committing $700,000 toward the park's transformation.
"The really critical things we're addressing are the safety issue, the lighting issue and how we find out ways to make the park welcoming to everybody, especially the children and families of Le Bonheur because they don't have a place to go outside and enjoy the sunlight and be in green grace," Blake said. "We're imagining pavilions, gathering areas, new children's play areas and improved basketball courts, which are an important element because that's the only place where many people have a chance to go outside and get some recreation."
Blake said one of his main goals is infill housing that complements the neighborhood while leaving in place a diverse price mixture that allows Victorian Village to maintain its diversity.
"We're beginning to look at bundling available properties, encouraging developers to come in and take more than one parcel and making sure we keep the diversity in terms of the price range of housing and multi-family housing," said Bake. "That's critical to us because we're such an unusual place. We have people come from all income levels and we want to preserve that."
Blake envisions making Jefferson an urban pedestrian and bicycle "greenway" that provides a major link to Downtown and the $33 million Main Street to Main Street project.
The city has long-range plans for a protected bicycle lane on Jefferson from Cleveland Street to Third Street. A similar bicycle lane is planned for Virginia Avenue in a key link to Channel 3 Drive and the Memphis end of the Harahan Rail Bridge's planned pedestrian and bicycle overpass.
Blake would like to see traffic on Jefferson in Victorian Village sizably reduced, with streetscaping and lighting making it more inviting for pedestrians and bicyclists.
"We'd really like to make that a greenway that ties the whole system together," he said.
Downtown Memphis Commission President Paul Morris said the revival of Victorian Village, which has 24 properties on the National Historic Register within four blocks, was about preserving Memphis' character and identity.
"If we care about ourselves as a community, we must work hard to preserve our authentic character and identity, while improving our neighborhoods," Morris said. "Sadly, for many decades, this unique neighborhood was largely neglected. But over the past few years the city, the DMC, and neighborhood stakeholders have been investing and improving the neighborhood."

Fifty years ago, the Packers journeyed to Detroit to meet the Lions in what was then a traditional meeting of the two teams every Thanksgiving.
Press-Gazette archives
Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr (15) throws the ball against the Detroit Lions with protection from tackle Bob Skoronski (76) and guard Forrest Gregg (75) at Tiger Stadium in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, 1961. Gregg and a teammate are blocking Lions defensive tackle Alex Karras (71). Packers halfback Paul Hornung (5) is at lower left.I love those early-60s numbers:

One of the great things about board games is playing them with family, but it can be a challenge to find games that everyone (gamers and non-gamers) will enjoy. To many people, shopping for board games means getting a themed version of Monopoly, while many gamer's games will seem intimidating to the average person. The following recommendations should be fun for gamers and non-gamers alike; most of the games have reviews on this website. (Click the links to see the games on Amazon, but you can find most of these at your local game store)
Dexterity Games
Dexterity games tend to have simple rules and be easy for everyone to play, so they're ideal when people with widely differing ages and experiences will be playing. One of the best ones is Crokinole, in which players attempt to hit pieces so that they go into the center hole of the board, while knocking off their opponents' pieces. The game is best with two teams of four and is the most expensive suggestion on this list, with boards often going for $200 and up.
A somewhat cheaper option is Pitchcar, in which each player has a small car disk that they're trying to flick around the track (hopefully without going off!) Part of the fun in this case is constructing the track (you can put together multiple sets and expansion packs to make the track as long and complicated as you want), which may increase the appeal to kids.
My personal favorite is Loopin' Louie, which (as you might guess from the name) is a rather silly game in which a mechanical plane moves around the board and you hit a paddle to send Louie away from your chickens and towards your opponents' chickens. Although this was marketed as a kids' game, adults seem to enjoy it just as much, and there are even regular tournaments. This is perhaps the easiest game on this list for adults and children to compete in on an equal basis.
Cooperative Games
In cooperative games, rather than being one player or team against another, everyone works together to defeat (or lose to) the game. Aside from eliminating the problems with one person being better at a game than the others, it can turn the gameplay into more of a social experience (and lessons the sting of defeat!) There are also semi-cooperative games, in which one or more players (often referred to as the traitor role) are (sometimes secretly) opposing the others.
Probably the best coop so far in Pandemic, in which players race to find cures for four diseases which will otherwise wipe out the world. The base game takes 2-4 players, while adding in the expansion allows you to play up to five, make the game more difficult, and even let one person take on the role of a bioterrorist, spreading disease for the others to stop. You can set the level of difficulty for each game to ensure that it gives the right amount of challenge, and it's short enough (half an hour) to easily play several games in a row – which is good, because people often insist on it!
Another popular game, Battlestar Galactica is considerably more complex (and longer!); this is not one you'll want to try with kids who have a low attention span (or adults who don't appreciate backstabbing). Based on the 2004 TV show of the same name, the game is an exercise in paranoia. Most players are human, attempting to reach their new home after the Cylons (humanoid robots) attack, but a few are secretly Cylons themselves (and might not even know it). If the fleet runs out of food, population, fuel, or morale, the humans lose; if they make it to Kobol, they win. If they work together effectively, they'll make it…but much effort will be devoted to figuring out who is secretly a Cylon and plotting the destruction of humanity!
No knowledge of the show is required to play the game, but the gameplay really does match the theme.
Card Games
Almost everybody has memories of playing card games with their family, whether it be hearts, spades, go fish or old maid. Modern card games have the same advantage of being easy to transport and (usually) fairly inexpensive. One of my favorite games is called Tichu; it's a ladder game for four players (two teams of two). A ladder game is similar to a trick-taking game (like hearts) but players put down hands of cards (such as three of a kind) as well as singles, and may pass. While Tichu comes with rules for a three-player variant (Trichu), it's really a four-player game; there's a newer game called Haggis which plays similarly but requires exactly three players.
Looking to play with just one other person? Lost Cities is a fun two-player card game in which players compete to create the most valuable expeditions. You can start as many expeditions as you want (up to 5 – one of each color) but be careful…it costs money to start each one, and doing too many means you may not have time to finish and could end up losing points..
Cartagena is another one of my favorites; like Lost Cities, it's not strictly a card game due to the inclusion of a small board (in this case, a modular board which goes together thousands of different ways to make each game different) but is card-driven. It's largely a set collection game, where you're attempting to get all of your pirates off the prison island and onto the lifeboat before everyone else; once someone sets all six pirates aboard, it will sail away. The cards depict stereotypically piratey object – the jolly roger, a bottle of rum, a captain's hat, etc – and playing one lets you pick up any of your pirates and move him to the next space with that symbol that isn't currently occupied (or onto the board if there are no such spaces). It's a simple little strategy game that takes 2-5 people and plays quickly. The game is also reimplemented as Cartagena II, with the escaped pirates attempting to make it to the Pirate's Nest.
Mass-Market Games
Some games are popular enough to have made it into big-box stores like Target and Toys 'R Us, while still appealing to gamers. Ticket to Ride (and its umpteen variations) is a good example; it's easy to find and most people will enjoy it. Hey, That's My Fish! is an inexpensive strategy game that's simple enough for kids and deep enough for adults (and also comes in a deluxe version if you prefer to grab your fish using fancier penguins); the rules can be explained in less than a minute. Set is great for large groups, because it takes any number of players and doesn't suffer from people joining and leaving over the course of the game; it challenges people to find sets of three cards where each attribute (shape, number, color, filling) is either the same or different on all three cards.
This list barely scratches the surface of what's out there, but these are all great games that both dedicated gamers and people who normally think "board game" means "Life, Monopoly, or Battleship" can enjoy. Why not pick up a few as Christmas gifts?

Bell presented a power point highlighting Delaware Valley's School District's Annual Report. Bell gave a brief walk through of the 130 page report highlighting the key points. The Annual Report includes basic information on the seven schools in Delaware Valley's School District. This information includes, but is not limited to,
• Annual Revenue Report
• Graduation Rate
• Reports from all of the departments
• Strategic Plan Score Cards.
The Annual Report is posted online on Delaware Valley's School District's home page, under headlines. http://dvsd.schoolwires.net/Page/1
The Board members also approved the resignation of former Board President, Bill Greenlaw with regret.
"I worked with Bill Greenlaw for many years, he is a wonderful friend," shared new Board President Pam Lufty, "I got to see another side of Bill that many don't know. He is a very kind, considerate person, extremely dedicated to his beliefs, his dedication to education goes without saying. I was very proud to work with Bill."
Upcoming events in the Delaware School District includes their 7th Annual Warrior Festival on Saturday, September 28th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Warrior Stadium.

In the summer mosquito bites are irritating and so itchy! If you're like me by the end of the summer you legs will be filled with the pesky, itching, swollen bites. I'll try anything to take away the itch.
I recently discovered an article on RealSimple.com that alleged cooled tea bags could be used as a home remedy to take away the itch from mosquito bites. I decided to give it a try.
My Experiment
I placed a used tea bag in the refrigerator to let it cool. Once cooled, I placed the tea bag on a fresh mosquito bite on my leg. I left the tea bag on the bite for about 5 minutes.
The results- the bite didn't itch and didn't appear as swollen as I would expect. The tea bag seemed to help alleviate the pain!
Just another great use for tea!

A Truck Lover Gets What He Wants
For some, things are so simple. They know what they want, where they want it, how they want it, and they wanted it yesterday. It's a straight shot down the beeline, and that's that. Spanky Newman is one of those gunslingin' dudes who shoots first and asks questions later, simply because he knows what he wants.
For Spanky, trucks are his thing. He gets them, and they get him. There's no getting around it; plain and simple, he's just an avid truck lover, and part of his manifest destiny was to own a short widebed truck someday. Things fell into place when Spanky picked up this '84 Chevy for $3,500 four years ago. The plan was simple. He wanted to keep the truck looking like the utilitarian vehicles he loves so much, but still give it that Spankified touch.
First things first, Spanky needed to get the chassis in order. Seeing as how the truck just cracks the legal drinking age in, well, age, the chassis was pretty solid. It was already outfitted with quality steering, disc brakes up front, and good bushings, so he crossed the bare necessities off the list. However, one thing the chassis was not equ ipped with was the stance Spanky was after. Up front, the first things to go were the stock spindles. In their place are new two-inch drop spindles from DJM along with DJM springs. Out back, the truck received the DJM touch once again when Spanky threw in a set of DJM four-inch lowering leaf springs.
For ride comfort, kyB shocks were added at all four corners. another defining mod added to all four corners was a giantsized rozzi 22×9-inch roller. Hugging the deuce deuces is Nitto 285/35r22 rubber. In terms of power, the 350 and 700-r4 that came in the truck were just fine; however, Spanky did throw on edelbrock chrome valve covers along with a chrome air cleaner He also installed a B&M shift kit and a Flowmaster 2 1/2-inch exhaust system.
For the exterior, things went deeper than just a few flesh wounds. The '84's lines were massaged yet still kept evident. For example, Spanky kept the door handles, but he did away with the door locks. The same goes for the bed. Spanky left pieces of trim and the tailgate handle intact, but he filled in the stake pockets. Next, Spanky cleaned up the Chevy's roofline by doing away with the driprail. From there he took the truck to CD Designs in Moore, Oklahoma, for body and paintwork. The crew there worked the body to perfection and then laid down the House Of kolor kandy root Beer with just a touch of miniflake on the truck's top half. DuPont Black coats the truck from the beltline down. The last step was for Charles Degard to apply the graphics. Because Spanky decided to ditch the stock trim, Charles worked up a graphic/trim scheme to separate the two-tone paint job. What he came up with is a throwback Chevrolet logo and trim theme that gives the Chevy a unique look and feel.
Finishing off the truck's exterior is some new ornamentation. Instead of sticking with the stock grille and bumpers, Spanky pirated a front grille setup from a '91 Suburban. He also installed the Suburban's front and rear bumpers, as well as mid-'90s Chevy mirrors.
On the inside, Spanky's mindset was plush and loud. Instead of sticking with the stock bench seat, he threw a late model GM truck bench in the '84's cab. From there he had elI Upholstery stitch up the cab in brown and tan leather. He also built a custom center console that houses a DVD and VCr player. The door panel houses custom speakers, and behind the seat sit four 10-inch Ma audio subs and two Planet audio amps. Finishing things off are auto Meter gauges housed in the stock locations. as you can see, Spanky is not only a man who knows what he wants, but a man who also gets what he wants.

Eye glasses have been in use since the 13th century. Indeed, Benjamin Franklin took the concept one step further and invented bifocals in the late 19th century to address his difficulty seeing both near and far objects. Contact lenses gained widespread use in the late 20th century. It wasn't until the 1990s, however, that correcting vision through surgical procedures provided a permanent solution to millions of people suffering from poor eyesight.
Vision correction surgery is comprised of two primary approaches. The first procedure consists of the reshaping of the eye surface in order to optimally redirect light into the eye. Lasik and PRK are two such approaches and use lasers with varying techniques in order to achieve a desired outcome. The different forms of lasik, or lasek, include Epi-Lasik, Bladeless Lasik, and Wavefront or Custom Lasik. Another procedure known as Conductive Keratoplasty, is a relatively non-invasive procedure which uses a specialized technique to correct for farsightedness.
The lens of an eye, which is located behind the pupil and iris, can be removed and replaced with an artificial lens that is corrective in the second approach. This lens, called an IOL or inter-ocular lens, can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness or both, enabling nearly perfect vision. Many people choose to correct their vision after cataract surgery using IOLs, eliminating the need for either contact lenses, eyeglasses or bifocals altogether.
Choosing the right vision surgery procedure is a decision you should make in consultation with your eye surgeon. His or her knowledge and experience will suggest the best course of action to improve your unaided vision. You should know that there are some health conditions, although rare, that are counter-indications for eye surgery, so you should provide your eye doctor with a complete medical history. The success of any eye surgery depends on strict adherence to the post-surgical eye care your surgeon recommends based on your particular case.

Trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers two games to one, Chicago White Sox manager Al Lopez called upon his Game One starter, Early Wynn, for Game Four. He thus again bypassed his long-time ace Billy Pierce to bring Wynn back on three days rest. Pitching on three days rest was no big deal in those days, though, and Lopez had limited Wynn to seven (shutout) innings in the Game One rout of the Dodgers.
Walter Alston also tapped his Game One starter, Roger Craig, who had lasted less than three innings in that rout.
The Dodgers got to Wynn in the third inning with five straight singles — Moon, Larker, Hodges, Demeter, and Roseboro — after two were out. While Lopez can't legitimately be second-guessed for starting Wynn, he clearly blundered by sticking with him as the Dodgers belted hit- after-hit in the third inning. By the time Lopez pulled Wynn for Turk Lown, following Roseboro's single, he had given up four runs on eight hits in less than three innings.
After Norm Cash batted for Lown in the bottom of the third, Pierce finally got his chance to pitch in the series. He delivered three innings of no-run, no-hit hurling. Three years later, as a San Francisco Giant, Pierce would make two starts against the New York Yankees, and pitch very well.
The Dodgers entered the seventh inning holding a 4-0 lead. Craig had given up seven hits, but had escaped real trouble thanks to a pair of timely double plays.
In the top of the seventh, Landis, Fox, and Kluszewski all singled. With two out and one run in, Sherm Lollar came to the plate. By this point Craig had given up ten hits. But Alston, in a rare lapse of judgment, stayed with Craig. Lollar proceeded to tie the game with a three-run homer.
The score remained tied 4-4 through seven and half innings. In the bottom of eighth, Gil Hodges continued his clutch late season hitting by blasting a lead-off home run off of Chicago relief ace Jerry Staley. Larry Sherry, who had come on in the top of the eighth, set the White Sox down in order in the ninth. Sherry had now pitched in three straight games, winning two and saving one.
The Dodgers, on the strength of their 5-4 win, held a commanding three games to one lead in the Series.

Tom Watson necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 80 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
K&A Custom Painting
I am a friend of the owner of K&A Custom Painting. I am responsible for getting their website designed and deployed to a Wordpress host. I'm their 'techy' friend who used to do some web programming but is out of touch with modern web standards.
The owner, Anna-stina, has some specific design input for what she wants. Together, Anna-stina and I are looking for a simple but clean/modern website that is graphically appealing and easily added to. I am not a professional web designer so we need a simple, easily maintained website that she can edit herself.
We've decided Word Press is the way to go, and we've determined we need at least a three-page, simple website design that will enable Anna-stina to upload photos, and write blog-style entries about her craft.
They are a two-person company, but with high-end clients. The site has to look professional and modern, but we need to keep design and maintenance costs in check. We are interested in designs that will be easy to templatize and build upon. I am not a professional web designer and need to set Anna-stina up to easily update her site without having to come to me.
Typical clientelle are higher-end homeowners, small business owners and some commercial interior painting contractors. We market to owners of older houses that need restoration work, homeowners needing to redesign their house color schemes, new construction and remodels as well. We market to clients that are looking for high-end specialty contractors willing to spend top dollar for the best in custom interior painting and restoration.
I need a design for a Wordpress-driven website that is used for advertising a painting company.
The site will primarily used by the owner to describe her painting process in articles from time-to-time, and to display hi-res photographs of their work. The owners will often be using the site while sitting with the client, talking about the photos, but also advertising their services via the site.
There are three (or possibly) four main types of work they do:
Decoration & Color
(Optional) Hardware and Maintenance
The owner needs to be able to upload new articles and photos within each category. Each category can operate like a blog. The owner can write new articles in each section describing her process. They have a lot of photographs to upload, so the owner would like to keep the site updated with new information. Tidbits of their services, recommendations, etc.
Each category must have a photo-gallery that she can easily maintain. That gallery should make it easy for the user to scroll through images and open up images to see hi-res versions for a closer look. We're open design suggestions there. We need it to be simple for the owner to add images to a category, but we also need the gallery control to look cool.
More details can be found here:
Full details can be found here:
Home Page
A home page. Accessible at http://www.yourpersonalpainters.com. See the Style notes for some tips on colors and descriptions of what we want.
Visually appealing home page that has four primary links to the main category pages of the site. The four categories are:
Category Page/Photo Gallery
Each category will have a main page which should be editable like a blog. The owner will edit the category home page from time to time, uploading new articles and photos. A simple blog-style page here is ideal, so that the owner can upload images and write copy and post articles from time-to-time. Each category page should provide access to a photo-gallery showing the images in that category.
Photo Gallery
A photo gallery that displays multiple images, with some sort of easy navigation through the gallery. The gallery must be able to display hi-res images if the user "zooms" in or selects an images from a thumbnail carousel or something like that. The template should expect uniformly-sized images, but should gracefully handle portrait and landscape images.
I'm open to designs where we can use freely available photo-gallery plugs in like this one http://www.cabel.name/2008/02/fancyzoom-10.html.
I just threw this together. I like the image, but I'm not stuck on this design. We both liked the architectural, clean lines of the image. I did some of the color in the links because she's all about color.
The owner has provided her color pallette, so as far as I'm concerned we can ignore this design, but it was something we both thought was decent.
This isn't a website but a link to a Google Doc describing what we want.

Cloud computing hasn't just enabled us to store mass amounts of data online; it has also brought with it a number of privacy and security issues that have now come to the attention of the Federal Trade Commission. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has petitioned the FTC to investigate privacy concerns over Google's gaggle of online services just as the FTC was already meeting to discuss whether the benefits of living in the cloud justify the risks.
In its petition (PDF) to the FTC this week, EPIC asked that services like Gmail, Google Docs, Picasa, and Google's other cloud computing services be investigated to determine "the adequacy of the privacy and security safeguards." The privacy organization cited a recent glitch in Google Docs that made certain documents—previously marked as private by their owners—public and available to the world, despite repeated claims from Google that the data is safe and secure. EPIC also highlighted a number of reports from security experts about vulnerabilities in Google's services between 2005 and now.
"Recent reports indicate that Google does not adequately safeguard the confidential information that it obtains," wrote EPIC. The organization wants the FTC to evaluate Google's safeguards, require Google to revise its Terms of Service to highlight its obligations to security, compel Google to be more transparent about its policies, and pressure the company into donating $5 million to a public fund dedicated to privacy and security research. Additionally, EPIC urged the FTC to consider the possibility of blocking Google from offering those services until the necessary safeguards are "verifiably established."
(Some news outlets took this to the extreme by saying that EPIC wants to shut down Gmail, though a reading of the document reveals that it was more of a suggestion should the FTC find that Google is doing a terrible job at keeping data secure.)
The FTC is already aware of the privacy and security concerns that come with keeping everything in the cloud; it recently held a meeting to talk about how companies can manage data security issues when data might span multiple jurisdictions. Over the course of two days, the FTC met with various organizations and company representatives to discuss the risks involved in cloud computing, and which entities have jurisdiction over the data at any given time, especially as it changes digital hands.
The FTC has previously held such meetings to investigate topics like online behavioral advertising. The agency likes to keep informed about tech topics, but the conferences don't generally lead to new rules (certainly not in the short term). In the case of behavioral advertising, the FTC decided that industry self-regulation was the way to go, a position it has held for two years—though that may finally be changing.
For cloud-based services like Gmail, though, keeping the public trust remains paramount; a spate of bad PR may be pressure enough to keep those companies offering web services to the public thinking hard about security and privacy.

Two Media Studies Professors Offer Thoughts on CBS-Time Warner Dispute
August 8, 2013
A Christian Science Monitor article exploring the dispute between CBS and Time Warner over the fees the network receives from cable and satellite subscribers quotes two DePauw University faculty members. "Since last Friday night, 3.5 million viewers in New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles have been cut off from their favorite CBS shows," writes Daniel B. Wood and Gloria Goodale.
"We should expect to see more blackouts," says Mark Tatge, Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism at DePauw. "This is a reflection of the changing economics of broadcast TV," he adds.
A veteran journalist and author of The New York Times Reader: Business and Economics, Tatge adds, "What has happened to newspapers is going to happen to local and network TV. Network TV is next. The networks have increasingly become dependent on retransmission fees as a source of revenue as the cable systems have gotten the ad business."
Jeffrey M. McCall, professor of communication and 1976 graduate of DePauw, tells the Monitor, "This is a crass reminder that the media business is all about the dollars and the corporations have trouble negotiating sensible deals that keep money flowing for both ... This is the kind of dispute that threatens to kill the golden goose, because it hurts the images of both parties and upsets consumers who just want their programs."
You'll find the complete text at the publication's website.
Professor Tatge was quoted in another Christian Science Monitor story two days ago.
Dr. McCall, author of Viewer Discretion Advised: Taking Control of Mass Media Influences, wrote a newspaper op-ed on Americans' misperceptions of the First Amendment.

The night of December 28 was not a normal night at our house. My mother; my husband, Kevin; and I were sitting around chatting when all of a sudden my water broke. After calling the hospital, we found out that we needed to wait until my contractions were 2 to 3 minutes apart to be admitted.
Because I wasn't having any labor pains, we decided to go to bed and try to get some sleep. It was only an hour later when I awoke to contractions 2 to 3 minutes apart.
At the hospital, I was not happy. The pain was too much for me, and the bed I was lying on was as hard as a board. My mother was kind enough to warn the nurses of my mood. I wanted so much to breathe and concentrate so that I could have the baby right away.
But the midwife held up her hand and said, "Don't push! Just give me 5 minutes to check you out." She quickly washed, donned her gown and gloves, and examined me. Finally, my cervix was effaced and I was ready to go!
As each contraction became harder and longer, my mood didn't improve any. I was feeling frustrated because I didn't think I was making progress. That's when the midwife asked if I wanted to touch the baby's head. As I reached down and felt my baby's head, I was instantly filled with excitement and determination. Right then, I knew I was going to have a baby.
Only minutes later I heard my mother and my husband scream, "It's a boy! We've got a boy!" As the cries of my son filled the air and I was filled with a feeling of exhilaration, my son was placed on my abdomen. What a beautiful baby he was!
Because all of the fluid had not been pushed out of Liam's lungs at birth, he was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for observation. Thankfully, he was out within 4 hours.
What a beautiful, healthy baby boy we have been blessed with! His blue eyes, blond hair, big smile like his daddy's, and his funny antics fill our days with love and laughter. We often wonder what we did before being blessed so richly.

H.R. 8 was proposed by House Republicans and will extend current estate tax relief for one more year, allowing farmers and ranchers a $5/35% exemption. The passed Senate bill does not address the extension of the exemption.Watch live from the House floor. The Situation In 2010, Congress approved changes in the federal estate tax that set the 2012 rate at 35% with a $5.12 million exemption. But those changes expire at the end of this year and farmers will face a $1 million estate and gift tax exemption and increased tax rates of 55% (and up to 60% for estates valued at more than $10 million) unless Congress approves new legislation. Given the rapid increases in farmland values in recent years and periods of higher commodity prices, many farm families could easily exceed the lower limits and be forced to sell a portion of their assets just to pay their tax bill. "Right now, we are waiting to see what Congress is going to do with the estate tax. Since we're in an election year, the decision could come out after the election," says Gary Hoff, a University of Illinois Extension taxation specialist. Read more about this situation.

Grant Hill retires after 19 seasons
Los Angeles, CA – Longtime NBA forward Grant Hill announced his retirement Saturday after a 19-year career in which he was named an All- Star seven times.
Hill, who also shared the league's Rookie of the Year Award with Jason Kidd for the 1994-95 season, averaged double-figure points in every season but this past one, when the 40-year-old contributed 3.2 points per game over 29 contests with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The former Duke great broke into the league with Detroit as the third overall selection in the 1994 draft and averaged 21.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists over six stellar seasons with the Pistons. Hill then joined the Orlando Magic in a sign-and-trade prior to the 2000-01 campaign, but played in only four games that season due to a chronic ankle injury that affected him for a significant portion of his career.
During his seven seasons with the Magic, Hill participated in more than 29 games just twice over that span and was forced to sit out the entire 2003-04 schedule after undergoing major ankle surgery.
Hill did enjoy better health after signing with the Phoenix Suns in 2007, playing in a total of 313 games while averaging 12.4 points during a four-year stretch. He spent five seasons total with the Suns before joining the Clippers as a free agent, but missed the first three months of 2012-13 after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee during the preseason.
For his career, Hill averaged 16.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists over a combined 1,026 games. He was named to the All-NBA team five times and won the league's Sportsmanship Award on three occasions, the most of any player since the honor was instituted in 1995.
"The entire Clippers organization wants to congratulate Grant on an incredible career," Clippers vice president of basketball operations Gary Sacks said. "For 19 years, Grant has always been the embodiment of class, a true professional and not only one of the best players - but one of the finest individuals I have been around. We were fortunate to have Grant with us last season, and we wish him all the best in his next endeavor."
Hill also won a pair of NCAA national championships while at Duke and was part of the United States' gold medal-winning squad at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Milan Fashion Week Fall 2014: Prada, Fendi and Katy Perry
MILAN - Miuccia Prada has created a fashion incarnation of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "Lola," Karl Lagerfeld received an homage with a Fendi fur mini-me and Australian actress Rose Byrne was up with the early-morning fashion crowd to grab a front-row seat at Max Mara as Milan Fashion Week offered its second day of womenswear previews for next fall and winter.
Closing out the day, Katy Perry made an appearance at Moschino, showing up fashionable late for Jeremy Scott's debut at the label. To make amends, the pop star made a photo call from the runway, dressed head-to-toe in a snug black dress with matching coat and golden accents, including an oversized "Moschino" necklace.
Max Mara, Fendi, Just Cavalli and Prada headlined Thursday's shows as the fashion crowd continued their appointed rounds.
Fun-Loving Floozy
Prada has immersed herself in German culture of the 1980s, film and music, and taken inspiration for her latest collection.
The looks for next fall and winter are for Prada's "Lola" of the 1981 Fassbinder film, a fun-loving floozy in ephemeral sheer or silky dress, nearly lingerie, draped in a man's jacket. The looks were richly adorned in accents of fur, sometimes wisps and sometimes faux shearling.
"I like this theme so much. How it is related to clothes, I don't know," Prada said backstage, though she does have some inkling: "It is high and low, sophisticated and slightly vulgar."
British fashion icon Alexa Chung said she loved the sheepskin coats, and acknowledged that the super-high wedge shoes with a rubberized finish were somewhat intimidating , even for her.
"But I will give it a go," she said gamely.
Prada Iconoclasts
The invitation said Harlem Renaissance, and the gin and bubbly were flowing at Prada's newly renovated shops on via Montenapoleone. The pair of stores, men's and women's, were finished in September but only formally inaugurated in the presence of the fashion crowd.
Live jazz wafted through the menswear store where a billiard table and card games were set up to suggest the back room to the Harlem Club -- which was the women's store down the block.
Prada no doubt wants to keep its customers feeling indulged. The Prada Group this month reported that sales in its stores rose 12 percent last year to nearly 3 billion euros ($4 billion) -- the lion's share of its overall 3.6 billion in sales.
Bag Boy Karlito
Fendi has a new meme: a furry figure on a string evoking designer Lagerfeld, complete with a neat white pony tail, large white collar and black tie. Silvia Venturini Fendi said it all started with the Fendi bag bugs: festive little creatures that hang from Fendi's handbags.
Now that tradition has evolved into Bag Boy Karlito, for little Karl. "Not bad boy," Fendi said backstage, "Bag Boy."
While the fun figurine also can be attached to a handbag, it had a place of pride in the runway show: carried by a model in a furry helmet as if a lantern lighting the way. Bag Boy Karlito popped out to take a bow after the show, with the real-life inspiration.
Another Fendi fashion forward moment: Drones hovered above the runway for a bird's eye view during the show - and delivered light gusts of wind down on to the audience below.
Abs of Steel
In the foyer before entering the Costume National runway show, an artist clad in a black leotard performed abdominal-straining stretches with more precision than most Pilates practitioners. Designer Ennio Capasa called it an exercise "in finding awareness"
The tie-in between the installation piece by Bastiaan Arler with his collection, shown at the Triennale contemporary art museum, Capasa said, was the notion of breaking boundaries "between fashion and anti-fashion, construction and deconstruction, masculine and feminine."
On the one side, athletic: There were trousers gathered at the ankle with rich, furry vests, white on white. At the other extreme, feminine: A flowing evening dress had as its neckline a tuxedo collar, black on black.
There were admiral feats of tailoring too: an off-shoulder asymetrical dress was fashioned of strips of fabric sewn along the bias in the front, but in the back a single panel with raised vertical seams.
Mining Florentine Treasures
Roberto Cavalli took inspiration from Florence's artistic treasures for his Just Cavalli line, photographing and painting the images himself that he would later incorporate into garments for the younger set.
Details from such landmark Florentine monuments as the Santa Maria Novella facade and Michelangelo's David were superimposed on satin and silk viscose garments using experimental processes.
Cavalli said he often consults his sales staff to find out what young buyers are looking for. The goal: "I want a different fashion, less attached to advertising and stars."
English Countryside, Urban Landscape
Max Mara set its English countryside-inspired collection on a cement runway in stark white light. The message was clear: The looks suggest cozy countryside, but the vibe is urban.
Anyone looking for the perfect overcoat knows Max Mara is the place to start, and this collection presents a plethora of oversized coats with innovative accents. One key is the waistcoat that gets sewed over the coat, is worn layered under the jacket or is transformed out of a longer coat, left sleeveless, offering new ways of creative layering.
Max Mara's cold weather looks for next year, at its heart, is a collection of basics - coats, vests and knitwear - that give a metropolitan edge to pretty straight skirts that cover the knee or form-fitting dresses composed of jackets and trouser-inspired pencil skirts. Colors are button-down grays, heather, golden and camel.
In keeping with the English theme, tweeds dominate, accented by cashmere wools and shiny vinyl-looking material and gold crocodile prints. The looks are finished with black or gold crocodile booties, and a clutch on a gold chain.
Aussie Eyes Crocodile Booties
Rose Byrne says the Max Mara golden crocodile booties caught her eye.
"I am obsessed with the boots," Byrne said after the preview show.
She took in the show from the front row, wearing a golden Max Mara camisole, dark jacket and wide cream pants. The actress said she long has been drawn to Max Mara's coats and knits, and feels like she "grew up with the brand."
Byrne begins filming the spy spoof "Susan Cooper" with Melissa McCarthy in April. They last appeared together in the 2011 comedy hit "Bridesmaids."
