Minn. Stat. § 480A.08, subd. 3 (1996).
Parag Maski, et al.,
Peterson, Judge
Hennepin County District Court
File No. 9618109
William Dane, University of Minnesota Student Legal Services, 160 West Bank Union Skyway, 219 Nineteenth Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55421 (for respondents)
Considered and decided by Shumaker, Presiding Judge, Peterson, Judge, and Amundson, Judge.
In this appeal from a judgment in an action to recover unpaid rent, appellant Robert Wardin argues that the district court erred in finding a basement bedroom uninhabitable, in abating respondents' rent, and in making certain evidentiary rulings. We affirm.
House of seven (7) private rooms, for one or more persons, with two (2) study rooms and a common area on the 3rd floor, other common areas are bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and basement, except TENANTS shall not have entry to one room in the basement, one closet on 1st floor and one closet on 3rd floor which OWNER uses for storage, tools, and equipment.
Respondents paid rent in full for all months except August 1996, when three respondents withheld their portion of the August rent. Respondents also paid a security deposit.
After the tenancy ended, Wardin filed a claim in conciliation court, seeking damages for unpaid rent and late fees. Respondents filed a counterclaim for (1) their security deposit, (2) rent abatement for space rented illegally, (3) rent abatement for lack of heat and water, and (4) statutory penalties for unauthorized entries. Wardin filed a demand for removal to the district court and then filed an amended complaint, adding claims for additional late fees, insufficient fund fees, and property damage.
Two respondents used two rooms on the third floor as bedrooms throughout the tenancy. Renting these two rooms violated the zoning code, and during the tenancy, Wardin signed an agreement with the City of Minneapolis providing that the third floor of the house was not and had never been occupied by tenants. The tenants testified that Wardin told them that they could use the rooms as bedrooms, but Wardin denied this. The district court found that the respondents' testimony was more credible than Wardin's testimony.
The parties disagreed about the licensed status of the house during the tenancy. Wardin claims that the house was licensed as a lodging house with nine units. Respondents claim that as of June 1, 1995, the house was licensed as one dwelling unit plus five rooms (6 bedrooms total). A housing inspector testified that the manner in which a house is used dictates how many individuals could lawfully rent the house. The district court found that Wardin rented the property as a house and, therefore, was obligated to comply with the zoning requirements for a single family dwelling, which permitted him to rent it to no more than five unrelated adults. Because Wardin rented the house to seven unrelated adults, the court determined that respondents could have claimed abatement for two-sevenths of all rent paid, but they limited their claim to one-seventh of all rent. Alternatively, the court found that even if the house had been rented as a lodging house, the maximum number of rooms that could be rented was six, because the basement was uninhabitable and the two rooms on the third floor were not legal bedrooms.
Findings of fact, whether based on oral or documentary evidence, shall not be set aside unless clearly erroneous, and due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses.
Minn. R. Civ. P. 52.01.
Wardin argues that the district court findings that (1) the basement bedroom was uninhabitable and (2) there were only six tenantable units are clearly erroneous.
A. Basement Bedroom. In finding that the basement was not habitable, the district court cited photographs of the basement, which show a cracked foundation, bare cement floors, and missing plaster on a wall. In addition, respondent Brinza testified that the basement room was "festered with mildew," respondent Vaz testified that the room smelled, and respondents Brinza and Towles testified that the room was "unlivable." Although a housing inspector testified that there were seven legal-sized rooms in the house, including the basement, he did not testify about the habitability of any of the rooms. The district court's finding that the basement bedroom was uninhabitable was not clearly erroneous.
B. Number of Tenantable Units. Wardin claims that the licensing status of the house permitted more than seven people to live in the house based on the large size of the bedrooms. Although there was evidence that more than seven people could have lived in the house if bedrooms were shared, the lease provided for seven individual bedrooms. It is undisputed that the two third-floor rooms could not legally be used as bedrooms. When the district court found the basement bedroom uninhabitable, that left six legal bedrooms in the house. The district court finding that there were six tenantable rooms was not clearly erroneous.
II. Rent Abatement
Rent abatement is a permissible remedy for a landlord's illegal rental of an uninhabitable apartment. See Love v. Amsler, 441 N.W.2d 555, 559-60 (Minn. App. 1989), review denied (Minn. Aug. 15, 1989) (affirming district court's damages award of previously paid rent for landlord's rental of apartment in unsafe condition). In addition, "[c]ourts have broad discretion in fashioning remedies." Wenzel v. Mathies, 542 N.W.2d 634, 643 (Minn. App. 1996), review denied (Minn. Mar. 28, 1996).
Wardin contends that the district court abused its discretion in abating rent by one-seventh. We disagree. The lease provided for seven individual bedrooms. Respondents did not get what they had bargained for when the house contained only six legal bedrooms. The fact that two respondents used the third-floor rooms as bedrooms does not make rent abatement improper. See Love, 441 N.W.2d at 559-60 (tenant has option to remain on premises while continuing to pay rent and may recover damages for a breach of covenants of habitability). The district court did not abuse its discretion in abating rent by one-seventh for the uninhabitable basement bedroom.
Wardin next claims that the district court erred in allowing an abatement of rent for lack of utilities because the respondents had sufficient utilities at all times. When the covenant of habitability is violated, rent paid during the tenancy can be awarded as damages. Id. One of the respondents testified that the heat went out for three days in February 1996, and as a result, a water pipe burst. Wardin claims that there were no damages because the respondents agreed in the lease to maintain "all mechanical systems." The district court found that the lease did not comply with Minn. Stat. § 504.18, subd. 2 (1996), which provides:
The lessor or licensor may agree with the lessee or licensee that the lessee or licensee is to perform specified repairs or maintenance, but only if the agreement is supported by adequate consideration and set forth in a conspicuous writing. No such agreement, however, may waive the provisions of subdivision 1 or relieve the lessor or licensor of the duty to maintain common areas of the premises.
The lease provided that the respondents would maintain mechanical systems, but the district court found that the lease did not contain a "conspicuous indication * * * to support [Wardin's] contention that [respondents] were obligated to perform specific repairs or maintenance." We agree that the maintenance provision was not specific and was not set forth in a conspicuous writing. The maintenance provision appears on page three of a six-page form lease and is written in the same typeface as the rest of the lease. Also, the maintenance agreement was not supported by any consideration. The district court properly found that respondents were not responsible for maintaining the heating system and water pipes and did not abuse its discretion in abating rent for insufficient utilities.
III. Evidentiary Rulings
The question of whether to admit or exclude evidence rests within the broad discretion of the trial court and its ruling will not be disturbed unless it is based on an erroneous view of the law or constitutes an abuse of discretion.
Uselman v. Uselman, 464 N.W.2d 130, 138 (Minn. 1990).
Wardin claims that the district court erred in admitting evidence over his objection as to lack of foundation. A decision on the sufficiency of the foundation for evidence is within the discretion of the district court. McKay's Family Dodge v. Hardrives, Inc., 480 N.W.2d 141, 147 (Minn. App. 1992), review denied (Minn. Mar. 26, 1992). During respondent Smith's testimony, counsel offered photographs of the basement bedroom that were taken by a prior tenant who is not a party to this action. Wardin's attorney objected, claiming lack of foundation. The district court initially sustained the objection, but then allowed the evidence after finding that Smith's testimony that the photograph accurately depicted the condition of the basement on the day respondents moved in independently established the authenticity of the photographs. The district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the photographs.
Wardin next contends that the district court erred in limiting his testimony about physical damages. Photographs of damage were submitted, and while Wardin was testifying about the photographs, the district court stopped his testimony, finding that it was not helpful for Wardin to testify as to whether the photographs portrayed the damages he was claiming, because the court could simply look at the photos. Wardin also claims that the district court limited his testimony about a modified accounting ledger. To preserve evidentiary rulings for review, a party must make a timely objection at trial and move the district court for a new trial. Sauter v. Wasemiller, 389 N.W.2d 200, 202 (Minn. 1986). Wardin did not object to the court's rulings at trial, and Wardin did not move for a new trial. Therefore, Wardin did not preserve these evidentiary issues for review.
Wardin also claims that the district court erred in considering the conciliation court complaint when the standard of review for removal to the district court is trial de novo. Minn. Stat. § 491A.02, subd. 6 (Supp. 1997). As one of the bases for rejecting Wardin's claim for physical damages, the district court considered the fact that Wardin did not claim he was entitled to recover for physical damages when he filed his conciliation court complaint. Wardin claims he was prejudiced by the court's use of the conciliation court complaint, arguing that the district court failed to consider that he filed the complaint prior to knowledge of the damage and without the assistance of counsel.
Even if it was error for the court to consider the conciliation court pleadings, any error was harmless. In denying Wardin's physical damages claim, the district court considered other factors including the credibility of the respondents' testimony that they left the house in as good condition as when they arrived. Harmless error is not a ground for reversal. Midway Ctr. Assocs. v. Midway Ctr., Inc., 306 Minn. 352, 356, 237 N.W.2d 76, 78 (1975).
Wardin argues that the district court erred in rushing Wardin's attorney during closing arguments. Prior to his closing argument, the district court asked Wardin's attorney to focus on the threshold issues. After the attorney made arguments that filled 11 transcript pages, the district court asked him to "wrap up," and counsel concluded with arguments that filled one and a half transcript pages. Wardin argues that because respondents' counsel was not asked to hurry his argument, Wardin suffered unequal treatment. There was no objection to the district court's requests. Wardin's failure to object to the district court's requests prevents him from raising this issue on appeal. Sauter, 389 N.W.2d at 202. In addition, Wardin does not claim that he was prejudiced by the district court's actions and makes no claim that his attorney was prevented from making any argument. The district court did not err by asking Wardin's counsel to "wrap up" his arguments.

Rebecca Weiker, Re:store Justice Program Director
In her recent New Yorker article about the unlikely alliance of feminists and conservatives that helped create the victim's rights movement, Jill Lapore defines victim rights and offender rights as in opposition to each other. Restorative Justice offers an alternative approach, addressing the needs of both victims and offenders in order to create healing, offer reparations, promote accountability, and prevent future harm.
At Re:store Justice, our mission is to respond to the needs of both victims and offenders, with the understanding that systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma are foundational to much of the violence in our society. We believe that victims' needs can be met most fully when our response is grounded in human rights and facilitated by a restorative approach.
A 2008 Human Rights Watch report on the U.S. treatment of victims stated that "a criminal justice system based on human rights standards can safeguard the rights of both [victims and offenders] while advancing justice and the rule of law." These rights include being recognized as a victim, regardless of whether a perpetrator has been identified or arrested; being treated with dignity, compassion and respect; being included and allowed to participate in the criminal justice system; and having the opportunity to "be heard without prejudice to the rights of the accused." Finally, according to human rights standards, all victims must have their need for safety and healing attended to, and should have access to services that treat their trauma and address other needs related to their experience of victimization.
The victims' rights movement has advocated for increased opportunities for the victim to have their voice heard by the justice system through the victim impact statement. But the victim impact statement is generally used narrowly, as a means to a specific end: retribution and punishment. A victim is asked to share about their loved one at the trial in order to support maximum punishment of the offender, and sometimes, many years later, at a parole board hearing in order to ensure continued punishment of the offender. In a restorative framework, such statements can be used to meet many other victim needs: the need to be heard, to receive an apology, to ask for accountability, to forgive. In the Restorative Justice context, a victim statement can be used to elicit insight, empathy, remorse and accountability on the part of the offender.
Mitigating factors and victim harm in the criminal justice system are set up as oppositional factors in a zero sum game. The abuse an offender suffered is used to argue for diminished culpability and the harm that a victim suffered is used to argue for greater punishment. Both of these harms exist – we don't need to compare them. Ideally, sentencing should not focus solely on retribution but also take into account the potential for rehabilitation. Opportunities for release should be based on public safety rather than review of fixed factors that the offender will never be able to change because they are related to the original crime. Consideration of mitigating factors allows for the possibility that an act of violence is not the defining or predictive act of an individual's life. Acknowledging that an offender has the potential to move past their violent behavior does not diminish or devalue the experience of the victim.
Systemic bias in our criminal justice system impacts the way individuals are treated at all levels and stages of the system, from arrest to bail, to sentencing, to parole. Michelle Alexander, Bryan Stevenson, Patrisse Kahn-Cullors, James Foreman, John Pfaff, and other advocates and scholars have documented the ways in which our criminal justice system is infected by the systemic racism of our society. The value we assign to victims, and the harm done to them, are influenced by these biases. We must acknowledge the impact that bias has on the way we frame the value of victims, and the meaning of the harm done to them in order to truly understand who victims are, the nature of their needs, and how we can best meet those needs. For example, Marsy's Law, passed as a victim's rights bill by California voters in 2008, relied on dominant notions of crime, victims and public safety in order to restrict opportunities for parole, framing all victims as lacking power, so that the State could assert power. Additionally, many offenders were victims before they committed their offense. They lose their status as victims after committing a crime. In California, crime victims are not entitled to compensation from the victim compensation board if they are a felon or do not cooperate with law enforcement.
Finally, the criminal justice system simply is not a relevant place to find justice for many victims. Nationally, forty percent of all homicides go unsolved, and in Los Angeles County, 47% of homicides over the decade 2000-2010 were not solved. As the #MeToo movement has revealed, many survivors of sexual assault and abuse never report the violence done to them. There are many reasons for this, including a lack of power and confidence that they will be believed, and fear that the person responsible will not be held accountable.
We believe that victims' rights can be met most effectively by creating more opportunities for restorative and non-adversarial processes for both victims and offenders within and beyond the criminal justice system. Acknowledging the humanity of victims and offenders allows us to identify and meet the full range of what victims may want from offenders. More than punishment and retribution, their healing may require that the offender is accountable, makes an apology, expresses regret and remorse and makes amends to the extent possible. While these actions cannot be required from an offender, when freely given, they may be the source of true justice.

In Louisiana, the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness reported March 13 that initial reports indicated more than 4,958 homes in the state had been damaged by flooding.
Flooding was hitting Louisiana very hard March 12-13 and affecting much of Mississippi, as well, with governors of both states declaring states of emergency as storms and heavy rain approached. In Louisiana, the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) reported March 13 that initial reports indicated more than 4,958 homes in the state had been damaged by flooding.
Four days earlier, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards had declared a state of emergency in 16 parishes because of the weather, and he amended his declaration on March 11 to include the entire state. Edwards announced Sunday night that the federal government had declared a major disaster for the state, at his request. "I have traveled to every corner of the state to assess the damage of this flooding," he said. "I want to emphasize that this is an initial declaration. We appreciate the quick response from the federal government to our request, and we will continue to work with them to ensure that every citizen who is impacted by this storm receives the disaster assistance he or she needs. State and local officials have given timely support to every parish in need, and we will continue to work around the clock until we are out of the woods."
According to the GOHSEP announcement, the 4,958 total for damaged homes "does not include entire regions of the state still responding to flood-related emergencies. Thousands of people have been forced from their homes. This number also continues to climb."
At 2 p.m. March 13, the Mississippi State Emergency Operations Center's update said updated storm reports from 39 counties affected by heavy rainfall and flooding throughout the state indicated 185 homes had been destroyed or sustained major damage and a total of 649 homes had minor damage or were affected, with damage assessments still ongoing. No injuries or deaths had been reported, but two fishermen remained missing, according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, with more severe storms predicted for later in the day. Part of state was under a tornado watch Sunday evening.
GOHSEP is working with FEMA to streamline the disaster assessment process that will determine what level of federal support will be available for individuals, parishes, and state agencies dealing with flooding in Louisiana.
The federal disaster declaration for Louisiana makes federal funding available to affected individuals in Bossier, Claiborne, Grant, Morehouse, Ouachita, Richland, and Webster parishes. The assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

text: Well curses, I've done all this work on laying out my map and i've finally gotten to putting the sky on and i have a leak. Now I tried to fix it by enclosing the whole thing in a big box, just to test how the sky would look in the thing but it didnt fix the leak. How is that possible? I did the Load Pointfile thing but the red line just ran the length of hte map and pointed at my skybox. I checked all around the area but couldnt find any leaks there. Now when i tried ot Load Pointfile again it asks me to select it from the list, it says it cannot find the one for my map. I am wondering if my map is just FUBAR and i need to start all over again or what. Bah and to make this even more strange, while most of the sky is just that hall of mirrors effect, there is one section of sky that is stable. HOWEVER its not textured like the sky should be, its instead textured like the giant box i have around the map. Now how does that make any sense?

Edmund Spenser
Of this world's theatre in which we stay,
My love like the spectator idly sits,
Beholding me, that all the pageants play,
Disguising diversly my troubled wits.
Sometimes I joy when glad occasion fits,
And mask in mirth like to a comedy:
Soon after, when my joy to sorrow flits,
I wail, and make my woes a tragedy.
Yet she, beholding me with constant eye,
Delights not in my mirth nor rues my smart:
But when I laugh she mocks, and when I cry
She laughs, and hardens evermore her heart.
What then can move her? If nor mirth nor moan,
She is no woman, but a senseless stone.
What's it all about?
This is a poem that bemoans a woman being completely unmoved by a man's actions. The theatre and the different type of plays the wannabe lover claims to be adept in, are really different aspects or spheres of life. He is left feeling confused and frustrated by her lack of interest in him.
Be aware that this sonnet is from a series of 89 that Spenser wrote called Amoretti. All these sonnets were to do with him wooing a lady called Elizabeth Boyle. You'll be happy to learn that in the end she did notice him and they ended up getting married in 1594 – don't we all love happy endings!
By this time Spenser (1542-99) was 42 at the time and only lived another 5 years (almost not worth all the bother). It's thought that the poem uses the theatre analogy because in the two years preceding all the theatres had been closed to try to prevent a plague spreading.
Unrequited love is probably the most obvious. The poetic voice (Spenser) explores his frustration that he cannot get this woman (Boyle) to notice him, despite all his best efforts.
You may also consider the theatre to be a key theme, but it is only used as a comparative so be aware.
A lovely little one.
Spenser uses an analogy comparing his pursuit of Boyle with the theatre. His love is the audience as he shows off his acting ability in a variety of plays. In reality this is Spenser trying to appear to be a desirable gentlemen in all sorts of differently real world situations. I say trying to appear as he says 'Disguising diversly my troubled wits' meaning that he is constantly think about how he can impress her.
His comparisons shows that whatever he does she doesn't seem impressed. When he laughs she 'mocks' and when he cries she 'laughs'. She doesn't seem to recognise his talents and scorns his efforts to impress her. (In my head, I imagine Bottom from A Midsummer Night's Dream trying to impress with his acting and failing to understand why the audience doesn't respond the way he expects them to).
In the final three lines, we get the sense that Spenser has almost given up as he questions 'What then can move her?' – is there anything that can impress her? Her calls her a 'senseless stone' and claims everything he does 'hardens evermore her heart', thus he's in disbelief that she hasn't melted after all his efforts and concludes it must be her fault as she is emotionless.
Language and techniques
The analogy is the biggest thing. You need to be confident explaining that it is used to compare his attempts to woo her with an actor's attempts to move his audience.
I'd also talk about the contradictory responses from his love. 'Laugh' contrasted with 'mock', 'cry' contrasted with 'laugh'. This heightens the feelings of frustration to almost anger as this woman is not just rejecting him, but scorning him – laughing at or mocking his advances.
Finally that last line contains quite a harsh metaphor comparing her to 'a senseless stone'. This conveys ideas of her having no emotion or heart and being cold and mean. It seems like Spenser has got to the stage of slagging off the girl he fancied, but who rejected him, in order to save face or his own feelings. I can't imagine Boyle was all too impressed with this assessment.
Okay, so it's another sonnet. It's divided into three quartets and then a rhyming couplet at the end.
The first quartet sets up the analogy and tells us how stressed or worried Spenser is as he is disguising his 'troubled wits' – putting his game face on, while secretly fretting about this girl's affections.
The second almost seems to be boastful about how he can play all the occasions and demonstrate all the emotional range that should (in his opinion) leave this girl crazy for him. However, the third shows that she is not at all impressed and doesn't show any empathy with what he is doing, rather she seems to think he's a bit of an idiot.
Finally the couplet sums up all his frustrations. He questions whether there is anything he can do and then decides it's her fault as she is emotionless.
Frustration passing into annoyance/anger.
He explains all his efforts and seems to appeal to us to sympathise with him as she scorns him and then is fairly rude about her when he is on the point of giving up.

Nine workers died and three others were injured on Wednesday in a coal mine explosion in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwest Pakistan, police told EFE.
The explosion occurred early morning and was caused by gases inside the mine, leading to its collapse, according to officer Gulraiz Khan of Kohat district, where the accident occurred.
Rescue operations concluded with the extractions of only three survivors.
Pakistan has significant reserves of coal and numerous mines, but poor safety standards make them prone to frequent accidents.
In May, two explosions took place due to methane gas build-ups in two mines in Balochistan province (southwest) which killed 23 miners and injured nine.
Global union federation for miners, IndustriAll, has warned about apathy and negligence in the mining sector in Pakistan and urged the government to act promptly to improve miners' safety.

Tally-Ho Stud's Kodiac (GB) (Danehill), already in possession of the UK juvenile winner's mark of 44 set earlier this season in September, broke Sunday Silence (Halo)'s juvenile winners world record, when Statehood (Ire) saluted at Lingfield. Snapped up for 200,000gns as a weanling by John Ferguson at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale in 2015, the Godolphin runner was the 52nd winner from Kodiac's eighth crop. Charlie Appleby's charge held on to take the seven-furlong feature by a neck.
The late Japanese-based Sunday Silence set the previous mark of 51 in 2004. Kodiac equaled the Shadai stallion's mark on Nov. 1, when Overcoming (Ire) scored at second asking over seven furlongs at Dundalk Wednesday for the China Horse Club and Ger Lyons.

Inconsistent Growth
Despite recent stronger economic growth, many low mid-market companies are concerned about a coming correciton. Usually focused on year-over-year top line growth, owners should recognize that not all revenue is equal. Revenue can be the cheapest form of capital but not if it comes with hidden risks, precludes the potential of new technologies, fails to inspire needed talent to join the company or prevents locking in recurring revenue commitments. Getting the operating engine running efficiently is as important as chasing revenue for revenue's sake.
Data from more than two thousand companies shows that many are still struggling with the operational effectiveness necessary for sustained growth in enterprise value. Note that 84% of companies are capturing less than 70% of their potential.

The Man
It was a dark grim night and a man and his wife just died. He was wearing a black jacket. He went into the woods. He was going to the Hellfire Club but as he was walking he heard a girl singing la la la la la then she ran behind a tree and when she came out she was a zombie with blood on her top. The man ran. . . he picked up a stick, stuck it in the ground and she ran into it. He ran into Tucker and Dale they tried to kill him. . . .

I lost my baby girl at 26 weeks, went in for an ultrasound and they found no heartbeat. Had to deliver still birth, doctor said they umbilical cord had a marginal insertion to the side of the placenta. I am devastated , broken, lost. Its been a month today and had my follow up apt with my doctor who asked me "So what are your plans are you going to try again? " your perfectly healthy". I don't think another baby will ever replace her. I didn't want another baby I wanted her. I must admit the thought of another pregnancy scares me, but I don't want to give up my hopes, its probably too soon as I told the doctor, but I don't want to close that door, I need to heal .... How do you cope? How to you begin to heal? what helps? ..........

A Future with Developmental Disabilities – Eric
In a previous post I said that I would be talking to other families about their visions of the future for their child with developmental disabilities. I spoke with Eric's Mom recently about the future of her twenty year-old son.
On a scale from one to ten, with ten being total care and one being "I'm OK Mom, I can take care of myself.", what is the level of care that Eric will need? Eric would fall somewhere between a nine and a ten.
Do you have a plan in place for Eric when you are no longer able to provide care for him? "I think planning for the future is out of our control." Eric's Mom knows that Eric's future depends on the availability of services and it's not a question of what her plan is but if she can plan.
What are your primary concerns for Eric's future? Eric's Mom wants him to live in an "environment of love, caring and with positive people."
Where would you like Eric to live when he can no longer live with you? Eric's Mom doesn't care so much about where he will but how he will live. If he can get what he needs in an environment that meets all of his needs – not only physical, but emotional and social, she thinks that he will do well.
Is there someone to oversee Eric's care when you no longer can? Eric's Mom has a sister who is willing to step in should the need arise and Eric has a younger brother who will probably participate in his care to some extent someday.
Do you have an idea when you or Eric will be ready or need to live on his own? If there were opportunities available, Eric and his Mom would "absolutely be planning on him to move now". Eric's Mom feels that he is "ready now, pretty much" but there are no options for him at the present time.
What is your best hope for Eric's future? Eric's Mom hopes that the environment that will meet Eric's needs will someday be available for him.
Eric's Mom mentioned a quote that she read somewhere that says, "We all need someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to." And she wonders why should Eric be any different than anyone else.

As if South Africa's injury concern against India wasn't enough, some of their key players still remain doubtful for the forthcoming Test series against Australia.
As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis, pace spearhead Dale Steyn and middle-order batsman Temba Bavuma have a very little chance to regain their full fitness before the first Test against Australia, starting on March 1. On the other hand, ace batsman AB de Villiers and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock are expected to be fit.
Reports further suggest that Steyn, who was ruled out of the Test series against India with a bruised heel, won't be considered for selection till the third Test of the four-match series. However, a final call will be taken on du Plessis and Bavuma on the eve of the first Test.
"We've obviously had a lot of senior guys out injured and it's had an effect. But we are sure AB and Quinton will be ready for the first Test and we are hopeful Faf will be," South Africa team manager Mohammed Moosajee quoted according to ESPNCricinfo.
"When he (du Plessis) was diagnosed [on February 2] we knew he would require four to six weeks recovery time, which takes us, at the earliest, to the first week in March. So we have to take it on a week-by-week basis and see how he is progressing. The same with Temba, though he might be out for a week more than Faf," he added.
The full-time Proteas skipper du Plessis picked up a finger injury during the first ODI against India, which ruled him out of the remaining limited-overs series. While India won the six-match ODI series with a stunning margin of 5-1, they are currently leading the three-match T20I series 1-0.
Batting wizard AB de Villiers, who made a comeback to the limited-overs team in the third ODI after being recovered from the finger injury, picked up a knee injury on the eve of the first T20I against India. As far as de Kock's injury is concerned – the 25-year-old is currently nursing a wrist injury that he picked during the second ODI against India.

Please read the walkthrough, don't just rely on the map, as there are a couple different options for how to do this dungeon.
Sprite, gives quest to rescue Illyree
Secret Passage
You have to jump off the ledge here, which will damage your characters
Healing Herbs on ground
Chest containing the key to Illyree's cell
Two trrapped chest, need a tool use skill of 12 to disarm
Illyree's cell
Cave Slimes
Worg and Wolves
Upon first entering Guhkbar's Pit you'll need to immediately need to do something for light. Once you have some light go down the passage to the west. When you see something in front of you choose the option to wait. A sprite will talk to you and give you a quest to free her mistress, Illyree, who Guhkbar is holding captive.
Follow the sprite through the rest wall and you'll find yourself in a passage leading to the south. You'll have to fight quite a few bats along here. Shortly after the passage turns to the east you'll come across a drop. The only way into Guhkbar's Pit is by taking this drop, but be aware that it's going to damage your characters. You'll want to heal them right away. Now you have two options of which way to go. If you go to the north you'll find yourself in a room with a pool of water and some Healing Herbs lying on the ground. Right around the corner to the east is Guhkbar. If you're going to kill him yourself, then it's best to go into combat mode before going around the corner, and cast Haste and War Blessing on your characters as well.
Head around the corner and kill Guhkbar. Go over to the eastern side of the room. To the south is a single chest, which contains the key to Illyree's cell. There's two chests to the north, both of which are trapped. You'll need a Tool Use of 12 to disarm them.
The alternative method is to head north after the drop. In the northwest corner is a room with some Cave Slimes. The next passage over leads to Illyree's cell, and she'll tell you how you could sneak to the chest with the key to her cell without having to fight Guhkbar. Using this method you can retrieve the key and free Illyree without the battle, but Illyree won't give you as good a reward, and she'll kill Guhkbar herself, meaning you won't get the Experience.
The northeastern corner of the pit contains a Worg and a couple wolves.
Once you've done everything, head out through the portcullis in the room where Guhkbar was.

Writing workshop at Shutesbury Elementary School is based upon four principles: students begin writing by writing about their own lives, they use a consistent writing process, they work in authentic ways, and they learn through independence.
Writing workshop is designed for use at all grade levels but each grade level has specific units of study tailored to meet developmental and curricular needs. Students have a large amount of choice in their topic and style of writing. The teacher acts as a mentor author, modeling writing techniques and conferring with students as they move through the writing process. Direct writing instruction takes place in the form of a 10-minute mini lesson at the beginning of each workshop and is followed by active writing time. Conferring in writing workshop takes place during the time when students are actively writing. The teacher circulates around the room and meets with individual students to discuss their writing progress. Each writing workshop unit ends with a celebration and sharing of student work.
In first/second grade, writing workshop units of study include…
- Taking Charge of Writing (Narrative)
- Becoming Experts: Writing to Teach (Information)
- Big Thoughts In Small Packages (Poetry)
- Writing About Reading (Opinion)
- Lab Reports and Science Books (Information)

Ellie and Anna show us how to arrange flowers in a traditional (and not so traditional) way, plus, we're giving away three copies of their new book... read more
We do love a good floral! So much so that we couldn't help but get pretty excited about Anna and Ellie's latest book launch. Not your average florists, the two pals make up the brilliant Flower Appreciation Society where they share their love for all things beautiful blooms related. Jumping on the floral bandwagon (of course!), we just had to ask Anna and Ellie to show us how to arrange flowers in a traditional and a not so traditional way for the Laura Ashley blog, and, as we know you're all such floral fans too, we've got three copies of their new book to giveaway!
In their first book, they take readers on incredible, meandering journey through an A to Z of blooms ‑ from Anemones to Zinnias and everything in between. If you're a bride‑to‑be doing your own wedding flowers or have ever wondered why your tulips just won't stand up straight, The Flower Appreciation Society has all the tips, tricks and wonderfully creative ideas you could ask for.
Now, without further ado, lets hand over to Ellie and Anna to give us a go to guide on arranging flowers…
Flower arranging with a Cake Stand:
Try this unique way of arranging your flowers is perfect for adding to a birthday cake to wow your guests!
1. You will need: floristry foam, scissors, 2 x Laura Ashley cake stands, a selection of flowers and foliage (we have used dill, lilac, Solomon's seal, sweet peas, peonies, roses, mint, viburnum
2. Stack the cake stands on top of each other
3. Cut chunks of soaked floristry foam to fit the gap between the two stands and wedge them in.
5,6,7. Stick your flowers and foliage into the foam to build a wonderful floral covering. Keep adding until the floristry foam cannot be seen anymore.
8. Then simply place your cake on the top stand. Not only will your flowers stay fresh all day but they won't get in the way of cutting the cake!
Flower arranging the traditional way:
Arrange flowers like a pro in one of our pretty vases, ideal for putting in your hallway.
1. You will need: a Laura Ashley vase, scissors, a lovely selection of flowers and foliage (we have used lilac, viburnum, dill, garden roses, poppies, peonies, Solomon's seal and sweet peas
2. Strip all the leaves and thorns that might sit below the water level. Lay your flowers out in neat groups so you can see what you have got to work with.
3. Select a medium-sized bloom to start with and place in your left hand (the reverse if you are left- handed)
4. Now choose a different colour and shape flower and place on top of the first at a slight diagonal angle. Keep your hand relaxed as you gather the flowers, holding them gently- this will prevent them from getting bruised and will allow you to reposition the flowers, pulling them up higher or down lower if needs be.
5. Continue adding the flowers at a slight diagonal in a varied order. Try to avoid two of the same flowers sitting too close together. Each time you add a few stems turn the bunch using your free hand so that you are conscious of what is happening at every angle. Keep all stems facing the same direction so the stems support eachother. As they are added, the twist will become obvious.
6. Stop when you are happy with the shape and size of your arrangement, bearing in mind the size of the vase.
7. Hold the flowers in front of the vessel so you can measure how much of the stems to cut off. It is always better to be on the safe side and cut your stems a little longer than they need to be, so you have the option to make them shorter.
8. Place the arrangement into the vase, letting the flowers fall naturally. You can now fiddle with the shape, adding or removing flowers as you see fit.
Thanks so much to Ellie and Anna for showing us how to arrange flowers like a pro! Fancy having a go? Browse our latest vases to pop your beautiful blooms in. Want to get hold of their latest book? (We know we do!), hop on over to Twitter, make sure you're following us and RT the below to win. We've got three copies to giveaway!

Celebrate the Memorial Day with an old-fashioned train ride.
One round trip train is scheduled to depart on Memorial Day from the Nelsonville Depot and go to Logan, lasting approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. It is the same route to and from East Logan; the train simply reverses direction by moving the locomotive to the other end of the train.
Along the way, you will pass by the remains of Hocking Canal Lock No. 19 and Haydenville, Ohios last company town. You will also get a glimpse of the current industry in the Valley including gravel mining operations and a lumber facility. On-board narration will provide a history of the area and railroad.
You may bring soft drinks and food aboard. No restrooms on the train (available in the depot). There is a wheelchair life available at the depot as needed.

During his years as premier of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev denounced many of
the policies and atrocities of Joseph Stalin. Once, as he censured Stalin in a public
meeting, Khrushchev was interrupted by a shout from a heckler in the audience. "You
were one of Stalin's colleagues. Why didn't you stop him?" "Who said that?"
roared Khrushchev. An agonizing silence followed as nobody in the room dared move a
muscle. Then Khrushchev replied quietly, "Now you know why."

Anonymous philosopher, on the wisdom of silence: Once on a railway journey my father
unintentionally perpetrated some slight infraction and was unmercifully bawled out by a
minor train employee. I was young then and hotly told my father afterward that he should
have given the man a piece of his mind. My father smiled, "Oh," he said,
"if a man like that can stand himself all his life, surely I can stand him for five

Casey Stengel was a longtime major league baseball manager whose unique way with the
English language became known as "Stengelese." He once said, "I've always
heard that it couldn't be done, but sometimes it don't always work." That's typical
Casey held a position on the board of directors for a California bank. According to a
story that originally appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Casey described his duties this
way: "There ain't nuthin' to it. You go into the fancy meeting room and you just sit
there and never open your yap. As long as you don't say nuthin' they don't know whether
you're smart or dumb."

Grace Coolidge, the wife of President Calvin Coolidge, tried to surprise her husband by
having his portrait painted. When it was finished, she hung it in the library of the White
House. Later the same morning the President happened to walk into the library accompanied
by a senator. They stared at the picture together in silence. Finally Coolidge commented
quietly: "I think so too."
Bits & Pieces, January 9, 1992, p. 23.
When Calvin Coolidge was President he saw dozens of people every day. Most had
complaints of one kind or another. A visiting Governor once told Coolidge he didn't
understand how he could see so many people. "Why, you finish with them by dinner
time," the Governor remarked, "while I'm often at my desk till midnight."
"Yes," said Coolidge, "But you talk back."
Bits & Pieces, August, 1989.
It had been a rather stormy board meeting and some very harsh things had been said. One
man--always highly respected and unusually wise in his judgments--had said nothing
throughout the proceedings. Suddenly one of the leaders in the argument turned to him:
"You have not said a word. I am sure we would all like to hear your opinion about
this matter." "I have discovered," replied the quiet one, "that there
are many times when silence is an opinion."
Bits & Pieces, September, 1989.
A mousy little fellow was waiting on a corner when a car stopped and a huge man got
out. "Excuse me, please," the big guy said, "but I'm a stwanger in town and
I'm lost. Can you diwect me to Wolling Woad?" The mousey fellow looked at the big guy
nervously and said nothing.
"Are you deaf?" the big man wanted to know. "Can't you speak
Still getting no answer, the big man walked over to a police officer. "Excuse me,
please, officer, but can you tell me how to get to Wolling Woad?"
"Rolling Road? Why sure -- you go down this street and turn right."
"Thank you vewy much," replied the muscleman as he went his way.
The officer watched him leave, and then went over to the little fellow. "What's the
matter with you?" he asked. "Couldn't you tell him how to get to Rolling Road?"
"Howy smoke, officer, are you cwazy? The minute I twied to tell that big wascal how
to get to Wolling Woad, he'd have town me wimb from wimb."

Sailing in the med? Yes, for sailors the waters of the Mediterranean provide ideal challenges and breathtaking views.
A calm and placid sea?
By reputation it is, but the reality is very different. Bounded by Europe, Asia and Africa, the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean – three miles deep in places – are frequently disturbed by sudden and surprisingly strong winds that blow from the land towards the centre of the sea. Many of these winds have names, including the Scirocco (originating in the Sahara), the Meltemi (Greece and Turkey), the Bora (Croatia) and the Mistral (southern France).
The current flows from west to east at between one and two knots along the North African coast, before splitting into two near Sicily.
However the towns along the Mediterranean cost are quite a different story. They are the most charming ever, wander around and getting lost there is the pure pleasure!

Not only they are amazing internationally well-known tech speakers, they are the visionary of software development, coming up with latest idea, with concrete hands-on experience.

Steven Mak, Agile Coach at Odd-E Hong Kong
"Great to hear YOW! conferences are finally coming to Hong Kong! I have really been enjoying the high quality of speakers presenting at YOW! nights. Even though my specialty is web development as opposed to software development, I still really enjoyed and learned from all talks."
Charis Rooda, Founder and producer of Webconf.asia events, and Co-organiser Codeaholics
8 Reasons Why You Should Attend a YOW! Event
Get a new perspective on your work
The relaxed setting at YOW! events provides the opportunity for you to meet and talk with world-renowned speakers face-to-face about your specific development challenges.
Learn from authors and creators
Many of the languages, practices and ideas that you use as a developer have been authored and created by the speakers at the conference. The speakers are all practitioners with many years of experience in the industry. Enjoy unbiased and technically rich talks
Listen to unbiased vendor-independent talks
YOW! is not aligned with any technology, practice, methodology or vendor. The invited speakers are chosen from a network of over 400 authors and experts by an international program committee. The focus is on craftsmanship rather than sales or product pitches.
Return to the office with renewed energy and inspiration
Working the daily grind of software development can be intense work that requires great adaptability and frequent changes in requirements and technologies. Being in a pro-active learning environment is a great way to get inspired.
Connect with like-minded people
YOW! events typically attract developers who are serious about staying informed of the latest trends. The events provide a unique opportunity to make contacts, create strategic partnerships and network.
Expand your view on what's possible & be inspired in unexpected ways
Many attendees have commented that they often learn more from speakers they don't know much about at first. However, this provides an opportunity to discover new thought leaders to learn from and follow.
Support your company's commitment to learning
Many companies recognise the need for ongoing learning to encourage innovation by providing training budgets. Get your company's support to learn from the best.

Today Tim had an adventurous day. He headed to visit with Tim Mansfield in Macau. It takes roughly 45 minutes to get to the ferry and then an hour ferry rid to Macau. Jp and I went on the beach and got saw some snails. I talked to Aunt Patsy, Grandma and Grandpa. We figured out how to hook up Vonage. Devon, Alexis and Emma scaled the cliffs outside and found a hidden cove. I am not feeling all that well lately, something got me—either a bug or something I ate. Tomorrow we will visit Watermark and check out the youth there. The kids have not really clicked with other kids at the church we have been visiting so we think we will search a little more. Tim and I like the adults there—they are super nice but the kids need a youth group they like.

Hi all, first time poster here so please correct me if I use incorrect terminology or put something in the wrong place.
My boyfriend just picked up these two see through figures today at £2 apiece - it's not visible in the photos attached but they have copyright stamps that read "LOT LFL 1995". Some cursory googling made me think they're probably from the Galoob micromachines line, but I couldn't find anything that included the aspect of being able to see the internal machinery of the vehicles.
Can anyone shed some light on this? We'd love to know where they're from.
Thanks all!

Although the game wasn't the marathon 25-22, 37-35, 28-26 match that the Lady Trojans played last year in Smithfield, the result was still the same. The Lady Trojans opened their season with a win over 5A Sky View 25-16, 23-25, 25-19, 25-21. The Lady Trojan started well and jumped out to a quick 19-5 lead before the Bobcats realized what hit them.
"The girls really came out well. They were ready to play. They passed well and were on fire," Coach Liz Wiscombe shared.
Defensive specialist Dani Wortman and setter Ellie Anderson served well early in the match, with Wortman serving three aces in a row. Anna Cox hit strongly out of the middle and led the match with 15 kills. At the 22-11 point, Morgan's libero Hannah Farr made an amazing one-handed save to continue play and score the point.
"Sky View is a good blocking team. They are tall and play very well. It was a great team to start off the season," Coach Wiscombe noted.
The Lady Trojans wrapped up the first game 25-16 and moved to the second game. Morgan played from behind most of the second game. Service errors and bad passes kept Sky View in the lead 5-9 and 11-14 before Morgan tied the game at 16-16 on a stuff block by Marcie Stapley. Unfortunately, the Lady Trojans were unable to pull out the set and lost 23-25.
"Our second game wasn't great. We have a number of service errors and if you can't serve the ball, you can't win the game," Wiscombe concluded. "In the third and fourth games we settled down and played." Morgan ended the game with 17 service errors and an overall 82 percent service percentage.
The Lady Trojans took the next two games to come away with the 3-1 victory. Cox led with her 15 kills, and Baylee Loertscher followed with nine. Brookelyn Hurlbut added eight and Stapley contributed five kills. Anderson and Wortman both served four aces for the match with Anderson hitting 91 percent of her serves. Anderson, the sophomore setter, had 39 assists including several dump sets that caught Sky View off balance and led to points for Morgan. Cox led the blocking with four with Stapley, Loertscher and Hurlbut adding two each.
On the defensive side, Loertscher, Farr and Cox led the serve receive with 19, 14, and 13 apiece. Wortman dug up 12 balls and Farr 11 followed by Loertscher with eight and Hurlbut and Anderson with six each.
Morgan played at Northridge Tuesday and the JV and sophomore teams will travel to the Davis tournament Thursday and Friday. The Lady Trojans will face the Lancers in Layton on Wednesday, Sept. 7 and host Bear River on Thursday, Sept. 8 in their first Region 11 game.

reading while: friend gets a haircut, 4:53pm
She got the book from a friend who is in the process of transferring her library electronically. She reads pdf books and graphic novels too, and has no medium preference. Before this book, she was reading Michael Chabon's Wonder Boys. She feels her biggest reading accomplishment was finishing Documenta #12, and is partial to reading anything from "depressed white men."

When Kanter is eligible
Mavs get Kanter Thomas
Grizzlies get Mathews Noah
Knicks get Parsons Powell Wright
1.) 26 Sep 2017 11:59:18
Wow, that's a whole lot of garbage being moved in a single deal.
03 Aug 2017 02:21:10
For Mr. Pugh
OKC get Melo O'Quinn Favors Teletovic
In case George Melo Westbrook bolt, OKC has all the cap space to retool or all cap space to keep them together.
NY get Adams Henson Korver
Building a frontcourt depth that will haunt smaller teams with shot blocking, rebounding and defense.
Utah get Kanter Singler
Utah twin towers look will give Jazz different offensive option beyond Hayward with a creative pg like Rubio.
Bucks get Burks Kuzminkas
Bucks improve future cap space to decide on who to resign or bring 1 more star FA for Giannis
1.) 03 Aug 2017 04:54:44
Dellavedova for Leonard
Blazers are overload at pf only have 1 backup unreliable backup. Bucks will need bigs who can shoo t and run.
Brogdon/ Burks/ Lewis
Middleton/ Payton/ Vaughn
Giannis/ Snell/ Kuzminkas
Maker/ Parker/ Wilson
Monroe/ Leonard/ Hawes.
2.) 03 Aug 2017 05:14:28
I could understand Thunder trying to get Melo but not that big a fan of them dealing Adams to do so (O'quinn is a solid backup and Favors is good but he hasn't been healthy in awhile) . If they did I think they should minimally getting more back (you forgot about Patrick Patterson who is their incumbent starting pf and a very solid stretch 4 that can defend some) .
Although Knicks would probably prefer a perimeter player adding Adams would be a great return for the Knicks and Henson although a little redundant wouldn't be a terrible addition. Isn't Korver still on Cavs?
Utah is currently employing the twin towers approach and has done so for past few years with guys like Okur, Millsap, Jefferson, Favors, Gobert and even Kanter. They traded Kanter away and I doubt they want him back since he was very unhappy and basically requested a trade. Favors is a better player than him and paid less so I don't understand why they'd give him and a solid role player in Burks up for two inferior players.
Bucks are in the luxury so I could understand them making this move from that perspective but it isn't going to clear enough cap space to make a significant difference. If they waived rights of their FA they could have close to 20 mill but I doubt they let Parker go without seeing his market first in RFA so that would lower them to about 10 mill if they kept his rights. Not really enough to add another star unless they worked out some funky sign and trade offer.
3.) 03 Aug 2017 05:48:59
Jaw meant McDermott not korver. did drop the ball on Patterson no need for teletovic. Kanter being healthier is a big edge over Favors and a Post scorer something neither favors or gobert is. Thunders sight on being able to keep Westbrook, value more than keeping either big. Keeping him is based on keeping George Melo adding 4th big name could make difference. Cap is 104. Currently 2018 is at 71mil with my trade 64 mil. Now dump Burks Dellavedova with Parker for expiring of Wade. Bulls consider taking a chance to fill their void at SF with Parker. Kidd is equally good in front office as coach as he was as player. Wish I say the same for players. ISIAH.
4.) 03 Aug 2017 14:16:28
Appreciate the shoutout! Just can't see us moving Adams unless it's a younger, more locked in star. He's very valuable.
5.) 03 Aug 2017 14:55:37
It's moot, since Anthony is refusing to go to any team except Houston.
6.) 03 Aug 2017 22:23:08
decent but swap out adams for abrines fergason 1 pick and okc don't get favors.
7.) 09 Aug 2017 00:14:47
Take out Adams and McDermott and add Grant and some other small things and that's a good deal.
01 Aug 2017 17:38:46
Rockets get Melo
Hawks get Favors Exum Ariza Randle Onuaka HOU & NY future 1st Jazz 2nd
Knicks get Schroder Bazemore Burks
Jazz get Anderson Lee
Jazz get better players
Rockets get their guy
Hawks rebuild
Knicks get their pg Burks for Henson
1.) 01 Aug 2017 18:23:02
Knicks won't get anywhere near that for Anthony.
Low rotation player is all he's worth.
2.) 01 Aug 2017 18:43:09
Then IT should work in a deal then Super.
31 Jul 2017 01:32:55
What Knicks fans want fire whole the front office.replace with GM Allen Houston make Ewing an executive. Reed VP & Walter Frazier President
Trade Hardaway for Harris to join his father in Detriot.
Keep Melo until NY force to waive his no trade clause find suitor to take him or take on Noah for either younger talent with big contract or expiring contract.
Rockets get Melo Noah
Bucks get Anderson Gordon Ariza Long Anuaku
Knicks get Monroe Hawes Teletovic
1.) 31 Jul 2017 06:31:28
Rockets already struggling to clear cap space for Melo and keep a couple of good rotation players, they're not going to take on a useless Noah and lose Gordon/ Ariza.
Not getting Harris for Hardaway after the Pistons added Galloway, Bradley and Kennard this offseason. If Pistons are looking for anything, it's a PG or PF, of which Hardaway is neither.
2.) 31 Jul 2017 15:48:03
It's crazy to think that any team would take on Anthony AND Noah. If Anthony goes, the Knicks would have to sweeten the deal, not weigh it down with Noah.
3.) 31 Jul 2017 20:33:24
The Rockets aren't taking on Noah.
29 Jul 2017 00:22:57
Rockets get Melo Grant
Hornets get Anderson Thomas
Knicks get Ariza M_Will Irving
Bulls get MKG Noah
Cavs get Wade Ntilkina knicks 2018 1st
shizzee75's talk posts with other poster's replies to shizzee75's talk posts
23 Sep 2017 23:00:47
Kanter for Dieng
Knicks need def. Wolves need bench scoring
1.) 24 Sep 2017 02:40:34
Dieng is a better player, a better fit for Minnesota who needs defense and spacing more than rebounding and post scoring and he is on a better contract. There is. Not reason for Minnesota to do this.
23 Sep 2017 14:34:18
No trade should happen for another month when Jae Crowder is available
1.) 23 Sep 2017 15:08:20
Crowder is more useful to the Cavs than Melo. The only way Melo to the Cavs makes sense is if he were interested after a buyout. Unless the Knicks are interested in a package of Shumpert, Frye, Jefferson, Felder and a 2020 lottery protected first.
09 Jul 2017 21:11:13
Courtney Lee for C.Joseph was better trade. Mills sleeping😚
1.) 10 Jul 2017 01:38:54
Maybe but Raptors are close to luxury cap so Miles' contract is a little more friendly and gives them more lineup versatility as he can play some stretch 4.
07 Jul 2017 04:21:31
Tim Hardaway 😏 to NY for wtf 4yr 71mil OMG I just rubbish myself
1.) 07 Jul 2017 09:47:04
He is a restricted FA so they had to overpay if they wanted a shot at him. However, that is the only justification I can make since although he made a big leap last year and is only 25 I don't think he is worth that kind of money if Waiters only got 4 yr 52 mill.
20 Jan 2015 22:02:38
OKC goes for it all.
Knicks improve defensively and can offer Jackson 5 yrs to keep him
Brooklyn gets good player in return for Lopez and expiring contracts
OKC get Calderon Lopez Andersen Larkins
Brooklyn get Perkins-exp Collison-exp Hardaway
OKC 1st
Knicks get Jackson Lamb Morrow Knicks 2nd
OKC 1st unprotected either 2015 or 2016 depends whether or not Cavs get the 1st.
OKC can get to the finals from any seed
Knicks 2015-16
resign Jackson Acy
trade Melo Early for Stanley Johnson N.Young
trade Okafor for Sixers 4th & 16th pick not 1 or 2nd
sign Milsap and Hibbert Afflalo
Hibbert/Cauley Stein-16th/Robert Upshaw-44th
01 Oct 2017 08:34:45
Cavs and Celtics fans swear that every gm is at their disposal for stealing player on this site more any elite teams.
01 Oct 2017 03:27:47
Noah for lebron.
26 Sep 2017 04:14:38
Knicks could always use more centers. should consider the deal to play keep away or monkey in middle with 7 centers.
23 Sep 2017 21:09:00
It's time for league to force Dolan to sell the team.

I am finally finishing up my work in progress. It is a middle grade (low middle grade) story about two best friends during the early 1960's. I am thinking it is going to be an episodic style or maybe just one book. All I know is I am finally put the finishing touches on the first story.
That is all I am ready to post about this story. Maybe sometime in the future I will post more about it.
Today is August 10, 2014 and I only thought I was getting close to finishing the story. But the girls aren't done telling their story…so, I will keep on writing what they dictate. Rock on!
