The Deadly Knives [落葉飛刀] (1972)
AKA Fists of Vengeance
Starring Ching Li, Ling Yun, Lily Li Li-Li, Cheng Miu, Chen Yan-Yan, Chan Shen, Dean Shek Tin, Lau Gong, Goo Man-Chung, Chen Feng-Chen, Tang Ti, Lee Ho, Lee Wan-Chung, Lee Sau-Kei
Directed by Chang Il-Ho
Expectations: Low, but hopeful.
The Deadly Knives is about as standard as Shaw Brothers movies come. It has very little to set itself apart, and I doubt I will remember it in a few months. It's still entertaining and enjoyable, but it's just another heated revenge movie featuring the Chinese vs. the Japanese in the good ol' Bruce Lee mold. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but The Deadly Knives is kinda lazy in this way, and at times it almost feels like it knows it and doesn't care.
The Chinese vs. Japanese struggle in this particular film surrounds a forest and the logging operation that resides there. It is owned by the Yan family, but this particular forest is strategically useful to the Japanese Army. A Japanese businessman named Mr. Ogawa (Cheng Miu) enlists the help of Mr. Guan (Tang Ti), a Chinese man who prefers money over Yan, his Chinese neighbor. Meanwhile, Yan Zi Fei (Ling Yun) and Guan Yue Hua (Ching Li) are returning home from college on the train. They are the offspring of the two Chinese families in the midst of this struggle, but are blissfully unaware as they talk about getting married. All they need is the approval of their families… so… clearly, this isn't going to work out for them.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- Marathon County prosecutors have dropped perjury charges against a former Athens basketball coach convicted of using a computer to facilitate a sex crime with a former student.
56-year-old Rory McKellips and his 57-year-old wife Constance were scheduled for a jury trial for lying at the sexting trial, but a judge threw out evidence in the case.
Prosecutors stated in court that they could no longer move forward with the perjury cases, and dismissed them. The case against Constance McKellips is now off the books. Judge Mike Moran will be able to consider the perjury charges against Rory McKellips at an upcoming sentencing in the sexting case.
McKellips will be back in court December 6th for that sentencing hearing.

Crypto Stick
CeBIT Open Source 2011 - Project Presentation Crypto StickBy
During CeBIT 2011 open source projects such as Crypto Stick, USB stick developed to allow easy and high-secure encryption of emails and more, will have the opportunity to showcase what is currently in active development.
When did the project begin?
Since August 2008.
How many active members does the project have?
The core team consists of three Persons. About 10 Persons are supportingthe project and took responsibilities for smaller parts.
Why was the project created?
We were facing the problem to encrypt e-mails securely in internet cafes while beeing travelling. Pure software solutions implicate the risk that malware on the computer steals the secret key which allows to intercept all encrypted communication. The only solution to prevent it is to use a secure device - the Crypto Stick.
Why should a CeBIT visitor come to your booth?
Nowadays secure authentication in the Internet, encryption of e-mail and data are more important than ever, for every computer user. The Crypto Stick is the central basis. At our Cebit booth the visitor can get information how to encrypt e-mails and data and how to use the Crypto Stick.
Also we give insight in the development of the Crypto Stick. Because we are a hardware project this may be interesting variety compared to other open source projects.
As a goody we raffle off Crypto Sticks to all booth visitors on a daily basis. Therefore you must come around!
Who do you make your software for?
The Crypto Stick can be used by any Internet and computer user easily. Use cases are e-mail encryption (e.g. OpenPGP, S/MIME), data encryption (e.g. via TrueCrypt), user authentication locally and in the Internet. The Crypto Stick kann be used to replace passwords and can be used in the future as the only key for the digital identity. Therefore the Crypto Stick is highly flexible and targets both personal as well as cooperate users.
Where do you see your biggest current challenges?
Currently we are very busy developing an encrypted mass storage which allows to store and encrypt several gigabyte of data. A challenge in particular is to achieve a high performance.
If you could hire a full-time project developer now, what problem should he or she be ready to solve?
The PKCS#11 driver, which enables the usage with TrueCrypt and Firefox, is not stable yet and should be published as open source. This work could easily be assigned to another developer.
Under which license is the software currently offered?
The software is publishes as GPLv3 and the hardware as Creative Commons.

According to the Longview Police Department, 17-year-old Genaro Villela and 20-year-old Francisco Benitez, both of Longview, were arrested Sunday after robbing a gas station and locking two store employees in a cooler.
Villela and Benitez entered the store, located in the 500 block of S. Mobberly Avenue, early Sunday morning. Police say one of the men was armed with a knife.
Upon entering the store, the men locked two female store employees inside a large cooler and began taking items, loading the items into a van parked outside. A police officer drove by while the robbery was taking place and stopped after seeing a man hide behind a vehicle.
The officer located containers inside the van filled with synthetic marijuana, cigars, and cigarettes.
Both men have been charged with aggravated robbery and remain in the Gregg County Jail with bond set at $50,000.

Because of complicated travel plans, my family and I ended up spending Christmas Day staying near a high-end suburban mall in a faraway city. The holiday morning greeted us with a light dusting of snow and a view of a vast, empty parking lot through our hotel window. There were no cars near the entrances to the department stores, none near the big-box restaurant bunkers lining the lot and none sidling up to any of the satellite shopping strips across the street.
We could go downstairs to the hotel restaurant, where the staffers wore red felt stocking caps and smiled bravely through double shifts away from their families. But it seemed to me that some research would turn a few restaurants nearby that were open on Christmas Day.
So I turned to Santa's little helper app, Opentable. I promptly discovered we were but two miles down the road from another cluster of shopping centers, where branches of several familiar chain restaurants were indeed serving food all day.
This could be a story told — with eyes tacitly rolling and snark at the ready — of how I spent too much on huge portions of heavy fare. Of how I ate more than I needed, enjoyed it less than I wanted, and then packed the rest to go because such epic waste is a crime.
But it isn't.
This is story of how we made do with the dining options that providence had placed before us, and how we figured out how to love our meals.
The fact is we all find ourselves in neighborhoods that seem the spiritual twin to, say, Perimeter Mall and its environs. Quick, unsexy business trips deposit you for a day or two at the Houston Galleria, or in Rockville, Md., or near the King of Prussia Mall outside of Philadelphia. You get hungry and you recognize more or less every restaurant around you. You are in Greater Cheesecakia. A special land of chic doggie bags with raffia handles.
These restaurants are all different — steaks, seafood, Italian — but they are in many ways all the same. Their servers will dress like cruise stewards and never miss an opportunity to upsell. The walls will be lined with pictures of people who've never set foot in this restaurant, and the background music from an earlier generation. (Frank Sinatra or, well, Frank Sinatra.)
Their wine lists will feature a broad selection of California cabernet sauvignon and absolutely nothing like that $10 Spanish red you buy at your favorite liquor store. The cocktails still use the "-tini" suffix as liberally as the rainbow hued liqueurs. The bread will arrive warm and tucked into a napkin, and the butter whipped to spreadable softness. The silverware will fill heavy in your hand. The bathrooms will be down a marble corridor and behind a frosted glass door, and if you ask where it is, you will be escorted.
All these restaurants seemingly share a pipeline to the Strategic High-Fat Mashed Potato Reserve and have a controlling stake in the Morton Salt company. They offer spectacular asparagus and raspberries year round — Chile's finest — and serve everything from anvil-sized wedges of iceberg lettuce with bleu cheese and bacon to equally massive slices of chocolate cake that seem fashioned of equal parts fudge and Plasticine.
But you can't go all foodie-hater on these places because they also trade in prime steaks, cold-water oysters and other fine ingredients that you don't eat every day. If you have a guilty pleasure — truffle-Parmesan fries, fish and chips, crème brûlée, fried calamari — you can be sure it's on the menu at one of these swank chains.
So over that Christmas holiday I developed three simple rules for satisfaction at high-end chains. Here they are:
1. Don't follow the script: All of these places have a goal in mind, and that is get you to order more food than the human body is designed to eat. Case in point: our first Christmas mall meal at McCormick & Schmick's, the nationwide chain that specializes in seafood and has local branches in downtown Atlanta's CNN Center and near Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody.
"Would you like some calamari for the table?" the waitress asks in lieu of hello. "Something to nibble on while you're deciding on an entree?" I saw where this was heading: fried calamari, followed by a Caesar salad and an order of, oh, say, blackened grouper with crabmeat sauté, andouille mashed potatoes and spinach.
The tacit point of a shareable appetizer is to let you know that salads and entrees are generally considered non-shareable.
Likewise, steakhouses make a lot of brouhaha about the side dishes — how many they serve, how much the table needs and so on. The subtext here is everyone gets his own 24-ounce steak.
So when it came time to fashion a celebration from the menu at McCormick & Schmick's, I had an idea.
"Why don't we order oysters, and lots of them?" I suggest to my oyster-loving family. Each of us got a salad or an appetizer — a decent chopped salad with bacon and blue cheese for me, a lump crab "tower" with layers of stacked avocado, mango and crabmeat for one daughter, etc. — and the oysters start coming. If you order by the dozen at this restaurant, these bivalves cost about two dollars per, which is the decent going rate for quality farmed cold-water oysters.
The waitress (staying cheerful through her own Christmas Day double shift) sets up two gleaming, ice-filled platters on the table, and we go to town comparing the Blue Points and the Malpeques, some preferring the creaminess of the former and others favoring the salinity of the latter. The adults at the table get glasses of Chandon sparkling wine.
Another dozen? Why not? Another dozen? Nope, we were full. What a feast! And we spent less than we might have had everyone ordered an entree.
McCormick & Schmick's: 190 Marietta St., Atlanta, 404-521-1236; 600 Ashwood Parkway, Atlanta, 770-399-9900.
2. Eat what you really want and build the rest of the meal around it: Just because a chain builds its brand around, say, overstuffed deli sandwiches, porterhouse steaks or sky-high chunks of cheesecake, it doesn't mean you have to order any of it.
The family and I find ourselves at Buca di Beppo — the Minneapolis-based chain of family-style Italian restaurants. If you've never been to the branch in Alpharetta, then seeing is believing. Within the big-box building lie a warren of windowless rooms meant to evoke one of the old-school red sauce joints that Italian immigrants set up in their basements. Every inch of wall space displays giddy images of Italian tack — pictures of Vespas and popes, of Sophia Loren and Mario Lanza, of grape-stomping and pasta-twirling.
Yes, pasta. Buca di Beppo is a doggie-bag restaurant. You order a dish that "serves four" and lug most of it home. We wanted some pasta, just not oceans of it.
"Doesn't a big salad and garlic bread sound good?" my daughter asks as we consider our game plan.
That it does. Soon we have a great big basket of warm, crunchy, greasy, puffy garlic bread and a bowl of the restaurant's chopped antipasto salad, which totally hits the spot. Crisp greens come tossed with cukes, onions, peppers, sharp cheeses and pepperoni — all mounded high in a bowl and served with a pair of tongs. It looks excessive, and we eat every bit. The wine list does cough up a few bottles of honest, rustic Italian reds, including a Regaleali Nero d'Avola.
We do get a small order (serves two) of perfectly decent penne arrabbiata flanked by two spicy link sausages, which takes the place of dessert. We're all satisfied but not stuffed silly.
Buca di Beppo: 2335 Mansell Road, Alpharetta, 770-643-9463
3. Go for the best, forget the rest: So a second area branch of The Capital Grille has opened near my office in Dunwoody, joining its sister in Buckhead. It is a steakhouse like the scores of others, and it follows the script to a T. There are the shareable appetizers, the soups and salads, the à la carte side dishes, the super-expensive steaks and chops, the monstrously rich dessert.
I am curious to try it because, unlike many other chain steakhouses, this group dry-ages its own beef in-house. I like dry-aged beef a lot because the process gets rid of that metallic flavor of blood that can dominate. Sometimes dry-aging introduces mild flavors of sourness and bacterial spoilage (which can actually be interesting) but mostly it makes the meat taste sweet and clean.
You have to get the best, thickest steak and you need enough people to eat it. And you should outfit it the way you want. If creamed spinach and baked potato is your jam, go for it. I like to get fries (which are very good at The Capital Grille if you can ask the kitchen to lay off the truffle oil) and a salad or some crisp green beans (also good) on the side.
A hungry friend and I make good headway into the 24-ounce dry-aged porterhouse. I like its pure, clean flavor though it didn't have that mineral edge that can make dry-aged steak so memorable. Still, what a nice thing to have near your office for a splurge that isn't too expensive if you do it right. Stay away from the script, eat what you want and go for the best.
The Capital Grille: 255 E. Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta, 404-262-1162; 94 Perimeter Center West, Dunwoody, 770-730-8447

High end chains have their place. Although not my first choice I certianly don't mind, or protest too much, when I'm brought to one (disclaimer: when dining alone, I nearly almost always choose local even if it's just the local diner up the road).
It's all relative, really – the "bread basket on the table" restos mentioned above would be considered "special night" meals in my home town. I can't count the times I have had to steer family and home-town friends who come to town away from the P.F. Chang's-McCormick's-Carrabbas range. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't.
But I always enjoy the bread

What is going on with this page? Unless I missed one, you haven't done a formal review since Lure on October 18th. There have been plenty of smaller openings that you handed off to the other guys (who do a great job), but I don't think anybody really wants to read post after post of how you cooked brussel sprouts or how to eat at a chain restaurant.
January 17th, 2013
10:28 am
Great article and great ideas. I suppose the chains have it down how to hypnotize the customers into ordering what they want you to order. On an unrelated note, I find it insulting that a large, well known steak house offers discount coupons of a paltry $4 on dinner for 2. That is one chain I no longer patronize just because of that.
January 17th, 2013
10:50 am
We all do seem to bemoan the box stores and restaurants and we all seem to know the spiel to a tee, but we all go. They're always packed. There's something to that experience that works.
I'll admit, when I read the article headline, I half expected it to talk about sending food back even though it was prepared exactly how you ordered it, "finding a hair" in something, and eating most of it and then saying you didn't like it – because people pull that crap because they know corporate will just comp something.
January 17th, 2013
11:20 am
You can't win, can you, John? When you review the high-end, foodie places, you get flamed – "no one can afford to eat out like that", etc. When you review a few chain places that we foodies will inevitably have to frequent on occasion, and you try to help us out, the foodies go nuts.
As much as I am a foodie, chains do have their place. I will never turn down a bowl of Chicken Bowtie Festival from Johnny Carino's or a ramen bowl at Houlihan's, and The Capital Grille's calamari is really good.
Great article.

A restaurant critic (especially the head critic in a major city) is supposed to be an expert on dining out. As a reader, I expect to learn something — something I likely wouldn't have experienced through my own, fairly average patronage. I want somebody with an expense account who is paid specifically to try new restaurants to tell me about new restaurants. Now I have to shamefully filter through the lameness of sites like Eater to learn about new places. I want to hear about high-end meals specifically because I can't afford to eat like that regularly. And if they're aren't any notable openings during the slow season, how about putting the same amount of effort into reviewing a place like Bantam+Biddy instead of putting yourself above that by delegating that to the B-team (who are supposed to write the 'blog-style' posts).
Sure, the calamari at CG is good. But I know that because I have to listen to co-workers tell me how good it is during banal business lunches. You can't have a meal there that isn't banal because that's the entire point of chains — to not offend. You ordered a bunch of oysters the last time you ate out for a change of pace? I'm glad you liked it. Congratulations. I probably could have figured that out on my own.
Dining sections are understandable trying to find a way to stay relevant. But instead of trying to compete with food blogs, this column is trying to beat them at their own game. You have a budget and a professional writer at your disposal. Take advantage of that and put more effort into the section. Top Chef recaps are cool, but I don't know if we need a recap of the daily adventures of the lead critic.

julio is correct in my view.
We get 1 or 2 restaurant reviews a week from John and crew. The rest is filler; often boring filler. (How to roast cauliflower…anyone? Restaurant inspections…whoopee. This months best pizza list…yawn.)
I know restaurant openings are limited these days, but there are so many places to eat in this city that you would think posts on lemon cake recipes and 'how to split a salad' would be rare.
January 17th, 2013

@ John
I appreciate both sides of the aisle. I cannot afford to dive into the latest greatest or the chain restaurants, but I appreciate hearing about both.
January 17th, 2013
2:58 pm
I find myself at such "high-end chains" every once in a while, and I do pretty much what John does in his "three simple rules," though I never thought of it that way. The beginning was a fun read, but I suspect many food-savvy people (that is, the type who read Food and More) have long been eating like that.
Thanks for "trying to mix it up a bit," John, but I'm in the camp that likes to read restaurant reviews.
January 17th, 2013
3:28 pm
John, I guess my post was just a jerky way to tell you that I like your restaurant reviews very much and wish you would do more of them. I understand they may get stale to write for you, but they are enjoyed. Jon and Jenny do a fine job as well. So…thanks!
January 17th, 2013
5:25 pm
This piece and others like it, such as your piece on where to eat before a show in Gwinnett, or how to mix it up at a Chinese restaurant, are some of my favorites, because aside from being smart and fun, they solve a problem. I love your cooking pieces, too, because we can't eat all our meals out, and our goal is to always eat well. I'll read anything you write, but count one more vote for keeping your "dining reporter" pieces in the mix. Thanks!
January 18th, 2013
10:29 am
John, I agree with Julio and Grasshopper. Most people who love good food are well aware of the dining strategies you wrote about.
The AJC actually could use more restaurant reviews. This is such a large sized metro area. There are so many new restaurants and changes we'd like to know about.
January 18th, 2013
2:08 pm
I may have to abstain entirely from this blog because there are just too many mean-spirited, humorless commenters.
January 18th, 2013
4:44 pm
I for one love ALL of your articles! I like that you mix it up. It makes it more relatable to everyday life. Don't fold Mr. K!! Keep up the good work! I love and appreciate the variety!
January 18th, 2013
4:56 pm
Enjoyed this article. Real life means you're not always going to be able to get to those top-notch local places, but must make do with the chains. As John has pointed out, that doesn't have to be a disappointment.

I liked this "busman's holiday" kind of story. I travel quite a bit for business (over 200 nights away from home last year) and I loved the reference to OpenTable. Between that site and Gayot.com, I can usually discover the best local places to eat.
One thing this story doesn't cover is the inconsistencies between chain restaurants. Ruth's Chris and Morton's are not my fav steak houses but I've dined at each chain more than once. There can be big differences in service and the food between locations. OpenTable reviews can be very helpful to discover whether the chain's location is on a par with their corporate standards.

I enjoyed the article; it's what I do when I go to what I think of as the "big-box restaurants".

JK – A fine article and change of pace. At chain restaurants (and most Atlanta restaurants) appetizers, salads, etc. are better constructed than entrees.
People who claim that they are foodies are generally insufferable. Thankfully, it's easy to pick them out of a crowd, you can see their brains directly through their noses
About your slight to chain establishment bathrooms. Seriously JK, do you prefer to wait in line for one-holer restrooms at places like Flip, Holeman & Finch or the Brick Store Pub? If one thing can be learned by our wonderful independent eatery operators, it would be to provide more accommodating facilities than an interstate Hwy gas station.

Sorry, but I got a little distracted by the photo of the "Porterhouse Steak" at the top of the article. Am I the only one that sees a pork chop there?

Plagiarism and what, if anything, should be done about it in our Colleges and Universities.
There is a business simulation that is being played in many colleges and universities where, if a company (team) is ahead of you in points, simply copy what they are doing right with their products and advertising.
Is that plagiarism?
Years ago, I talked with an container manufacturer who took the artwork from a competitor and made 10-12 drawings, each one a little bit different than the previous one but the last subliminally identical to the competitor's design so that business could be stolen from that competitor with the client in question.
Is that plagiarism?
Are we confusing plagiarism with unethical behavior or is copying simply copying without recognizing the source?
Most Colleges and Universities have a third party available to all instructors that will check out papers to see if they have been plagiarized. Many professors use that service but there are some that simply copy and paste sentences from various paragraphs into the Google search engine and press enter and the sources are readily available. Some have been paraphrased and some have been completely copied and used as their own.
So, here is the debate: should we hold students accountable for plagiarism when the "real world" does not or should we simply let it go, realizing that life over time is always self-correcting?
Sometimes, plagiarism is so easy to spot especially when one has in-class writing assignments and can compare them to out-of-class writing assignments and it is sad to think that college students believe that they will not get caught by professors.
Another issue for debate that is tied to plagiarism is: should colleges and universities prepare students for life and the "real world" or should they just acquaint them with the pursuit of knowledge? Can this question be easily answered by reading the Charter/Mission of the school?
Plagiarism is a substantial component of the competitive environment and should not be tampered with at any cost... is my opinion.

Jun 25 2013: The identification of plagiarism is really not as simple as we may think. For example many term papers involve mathematics, may be copied using the exactly same procedure in the proof, but all the explanations are changed in wording. Unless it is a dissertation where even the the proofs must be original ideas, then of course it would be identified as plagiarism. Even for that, when this identification is checked by a computer matching in word by word, if a wicked plagiarist changed most of the explanation and changed the symbolic representation of the variables in the equations then, the computer may never be able to find it.
By the way, I have never been such a plagiarist, but have been a victim of it.
Jun 25 2013: Computer couldn`t find plagiarizm correctly the same way it couldn`t think. If the freshness of an Idea blongs to precious play with meanings and context, a computer could lost it.
On the other hand it should be algorithms to determine the border between half-copied and original matherials. Something used by patent organizations or registration of an images.
Jun 25 2013: The only party who could discover the plagiarism in this case is the original author or his relatives/colleagues/students, but also someone who is making a thorough survey of the particular topic. That's why there were lot of discoveries many years later by accident. However, in modern days, if someone decided to scrutinize some public figures and pick out a particular publication or academic dissertation, then it would be easy to search the particular topic, and find out the original publication that was plagiarized. In other word, the common routine in general screening of plagiarized contents can't be very effective, but a pinpointed examination using modern searching tools could do wonders. Only humans could identify which field and sub-field, etc. where the passage or formula likely belongs, and attempt to the search there.

At my degree show I was left a little present by Shadow Stitch I could not believe how see managed to leave it without ANYONE seeing her! I placed it on my tree with the others before taking it home to keep. The first ever yarn bomb I had seen was by Shadow Stich and it was such a delight to see a little bit of colour in the streets of Edinburgh - I was even more delighted when I seen this hanging outside my studio door. It really did make me smile
See her other work at http://shadowstitch.blogspot.com/
So I received my results… a FIRST CLASS HONOURS degree in Design and Digital Arts. I am very happy indeed and so glad all the hard work and determination has paid off. It would not have been possible without the support of my family and friends and of course you! the people who kindly took part in my final project. I cannot thank you all enough. You can be proud to say that you helped me achieve my dreams and goals in life.
Thank you
Some images from my degree show 2011 for those who could not make it
On the opening night of the degree show I was nominated for an award, unfortunately I never won. However I was awarded the Peoples Choice award which was an award voted for by fellow students on all the courses who I guess loved my project.
Yesterday we had a little visitor at our bird bath, I thought the bird had a worm and that he had dropped it in the water by accident. Later on I was outside and I noticed it was WOOL from one of the original pom-poms I made last year and placed a few hundred yards away. It was as if he was leaving me a little present :)
The project is going to continue, although you do not need to fill in the questionnaire please still upload images to Flickr of Facebook or simply email me. I would love to see them,
many thanks

Josh Childress is going back to Greece.
The former Hawks swingman said he is returning to Olympiakos for the 2009-10 season and will not opt out of his contract and return to the NBA.
"I still have some unfinished business to tend to," Childress said by phone early Tuesday morning. "I definitely have unfinished business in Greece."
Childress had a Wednesday deadline to notify Olympiakos of his intentions to either come back for a second season overseas or return to the NBA.
A restricted free agent this summer, Childress said his representatives spent the past two weeks in discussions with the Hawks and several other teams about potential sign-and-trade deals that would have allowed him to return to the NBA this season, but could never get the Hawks to sign off on any of the proposed deals.
"At the end of the day it's a business," Childress said. "I was in basically the same situation last summer. Again, it's a business and you have to treat it as such."
Childress, 26, left for Greece last summer in a groundbreaking move for a restricted free agent of his stature. He signed a three-year, $20 million deal with Olympiakos, a deal that included an opt-out clause at the end of each season that would allow him to return to the NBA.
The sixth pick in the 2004 NBA draft, Childress spent his first four seasons with the Hawks. He averaged 11.1 points and 5.6 rebounds 285 career games with the Hawks, including 67 games as a starter. He finished sixth in the voting for the NBA's sixth-man award in his final season with the Hawks two years ago, the franchise's first playoff season in decade.
The Hawks own his NBA rights and will continue to do so, provided they extend him a qualifying offer again next summer. His status as a restricted free agent allows the Hawks to match any offers made to him by other NBA teams.
Milwaukee and Charlotte made strong plays for Childress. He made a visit to Milwaukee the first week of the free agent negotiating period. But in the end, none of the deals worked out.
"When I left Greece to come back [here to the U.S.], I had it in my head that was going back to Greece no mater what," Childress said. "Then when I got home and had my feet on the ground for a couple of days, I really wanted to explore my options and see what was out there. It was 50-50 from there."
Now that he knows he's going back to Greece, Childress said he can finish what he started. A sports hernia injury sidelined him for a long stretch of Olympiakos' season. Still, he returned in time to help his team to a spot in the Euroleague Final Four and a spot in the Greek League championship series.
"My team did well, but there's no question, I didn't have the year I wanted to have," Childress said. "And with that being said, I have some serious work left to do in Athens. That was part of my decision to go back, as well."
It helped, he said, that Olympiakos made it clear that they wanted him back for another year.
"They let me know as soon as the season was over that they waned me back," he said. "With me not having the best year I could have, it says a lot about the commitment they made to me that they didn't hesitate to let me know that. It shows me they have a lot of respect for their players."

Sorry it came to this kids, but don't say I didn't tell ya…until Olympiakos opts out of his contract, he'll return….until he gets that championship against Panathiniakos, he won't be coming back anytime soon….

"When I left Greece to come back [here to the U.S.], I had it in my head that was going back to Greece no mater what," Childress said. "Then when I got home and had my feet on the ground for a couple of days, I really wanted to explore my options and see what was out there. It was 50-50 from there."
Wishy Washy.
Now everyone has been applauding him for going for the money. But apparently that wasn't enough for him. Apparently he has unmet emotional needs as he wanted to be pursued, needed to feel love from some team other than the Hawks.
Apparently he was the twinkle in any team's eye, so he comes to the conclusion that he has "unfinished business" over in Greece. What must his teammates be thinking? Not only was his play somewhat underwhelming, he then turns around and decides he can be had if some NBA team..other than the Hawks…really really wants him. Not exactly a firm commitment to his "groundbreaking" move to a second rate league.
I still sat he was just trying to see if he could stick it to the Hawks. At the end of the day, this is really all about his bitterness. I guess this will become an annual occasion…."What will Josh Do? Well see ya next Summer champ, we're looking for players who want to be Hawks!
Same goes for Anderson. Does he want to be a Hawk or not? Time to find out and act accordingly. The pool of big men that can help the team is starting to dwindle.
Go Hawks!!

Josh Childress is a good player but not a starter and there lies the problem; he wants starter money. He is not big enough to be a small forward and he doesn't shoot well enough to play the 2 so his only roll is super sub. An energy guy of the bench that can generate offense with his speed. There are many players like him in the NBA…
July 14th, 2009
6:08 am
At least this will bring closure to any 'sign and trade' ideas that fans have suggested involving Chillz. The Hawks can also set their attention now on signing Marvin and determining who they want as the 2nd big man off the bench (Solo or a TBD free agent). This person has to be prepared to get many DNP-CDs so we have to determine how much we are willing to pay for that along with the person being mentally prepared for it. I see 5-10 minutes/game at most for this slot.

What the F@*k is Chills deal?!?!? They offered him a very reasonable contract last year. They would have matched any contract he got from another team, just like they did with Josh Smith. What the hell does he think he is worth?!? No team is gonna pay him anymore than the Hawks will. He talked to 2 teams!! And they didnt offer a contract!! So he goes back the Greece and obscurity?!? He will never get more money in the NBA than what the Hawks would have paid.

Oh well I guess we are stuck with Marvin "Duck" Williams. Jarrett Jack is really signing with the Raptors for less money than what we paid Mike Bibby and he can actually play DEFENSE. WOW! Oh well, I guess Rick (who has been in the league for 30 years and haven't won anything as a GM)Sund knows what he is doing. After all, he just wants to "CLOSE THE GAP" on the teams that finished in front of us. With a front court that has players such as Josh, Al, and Marvin we have the most UPSIDE and POTENTIAL of any team. I can see why Sekou and Mark Bradley love this Rick Sund so much. As matter of fact let's take Jeff Schultz advise and give Rick Sund a RAISE!! These are the best DELUSIONAL sports writers in the world. They have such HIGH STANDARDS!!
GO HAWKS! (back to the playoffs where you will either be eliminated in the first or second round, but hey if you win say 3 more games in the regular season, that would make 50 and you will be an ELITE team because according to your great GM).

Sekou, not to steal a future article topic from you, but do you have any word on what Marvin has been doing this offseason? In years past he'd always return to Chapel Hill to train with Tarheel staff & alums. Hopefully he's up there again working on his 3 pt shooting (which was much improved last season).

what implications will chills have next year? will he be a UFA or RA next yr?
July 14th, 2009
9:03 am
Chills back in Europe is the best solution possible excluding a sign and trade where the hawks get real value in return (Hickson – great, Bowen – no thanks). Critical is that we still retain his rights in the future, think of the value as a mid to late 1st round pick in the future. Anyone who thinks Chills is a marginal or bench talent doesn't follow bball closely, he just got stuck in the wing player log jam created by poor drafting.

Marvin Williams is just a taller, less accurate, Steve Kerr. Set shooter (don't call what he does a "jump" shot) who can't create his own shot, and instead relies on others to draw the defense and kick to him for a set shot. He's less effective than Kerr because he doesn't know how to move without the ball.
July 14th, 2009
9:31 am
If I may go back to the last blog… Petro or Mikki Fikki Moore? Petro is probably a little better than people think, he can make open jumpers. But he is not a banger and is more Mark Blount than Tyson Chandler. My left big toe weighs more than Moore and is probably a little smarter too. I watched him with the Celtics and he stood out like a sore-thumb. Because of his hustle and athleticism? No, because he appeared to have the lowest b-ball IQ on the team. If Wilcox or Gooden are out of our price range, surely Foyle, Magloire or Theo would be affordable. It looks like finding a quality big man for the Hawks will be like it was for the Braves to find quality relievers during many of the pennant-winning years. And in both cases, it comes down to not amking those areas priorities in the team's budget. Instead, Sund prioritized the back-up lead guard. Just as I suggested a few days ago.. Crawford & Petro/Moore or Flip & Bass/Big Baby/Joe Smith? To me, a no brainer choice.
July 14th, 2009
9:37 am
I think Sund would like to build a championship team, but it is a very difficult thing to do. Some teams get a huge headstart when they are able to land a Shaq, Howard, or LeBron in the draft. Other teams always have an inherent advantage due to their large markets and unlimited resources. The Hawks are better off than most teams in the league, but what would have to happen for them to reach the next level.
– Bibby would have to remain steady, and Teague would have to show that he can be a star at the point.
– Nothing against big Al and Zaza, but I'm on the bandwagon clamoring for a big defensive specialist at center. As I have said before, I was hoping they would try to work a deal for Camby or Chandler — but I haven't heard any trade rumors. These guys are on the last year of their contracts and their teams couldn't expect too much in return.
I don't know if the Hawks could take on that much additional salary without moving some of our current players.
– The ownership issues need to be resolved, and they need to show that they are willing to spend the bucks necessary to compete at the highest level.
– So far, so good on Sund. The jury's still out on Woody.

seems again ultimately the hawks didnt want to part ways with chills as much as the other way around. two sides of the argument and street, dont see how anyone but a fool could see it otherwise. he is a commodity and an valued one and he is in a system in america that allows free enterprise for contractual employees, even within a union. obama would be proud of him is my guess rather than backing down and taking in less money to pay the government good healthy american taxes. sounds pretty american to me and something we fight for with our forces overseas to assure capitalism withstands outside pressures so we can have our way of life. in other words both sides made a decision, foolish to think otherwise or it is slave labor or communism.

Add one more to the chorus of how do we expect to compete with Orlando and other teams without another big giving more beef and defense at the C position? Orlando understands that, I would think anyone who watched the Hawks in the playoffs would also….
Sund? Where's the beef?

Is Chills going to become the "Brett Favre" of the NBA? Every summer are we now going to say, "oh well, what is Chills going to do? Will he return, will he not?"
Again I say give Sund his due. He will not overpay for overvalued assets nor will he give away assets at a discount. Now that's a prudent business man.
Go Hawks!!!
July 14th, 2009

Here's Chills reponse to a question on his Twitter page:
"Say what you want my man. Go ask your GM what happened"
Sounds to me that he was willing to comeback to the states but him and Sund didn't see eye to eye like Sekou said…

Thank you, doc, for that lucid commentary.

Things may be very interesting for Chills next summer. There will be more teams with cap space. It would be interesting to see what the Hawks would do if he receive an offer from another team. Match or let him walk? To be continue…
July 14th, 2009
9:59 am
Did Chills and Woody have a fallout and Sund has now become the fallguy?
Is it that Woody said I don't have a space for him so get assets for him?
Is it that the Hawks were upset about how the negotiations went last year and so there is some bad blood there, therefore the Hawks are playing hard ball?
Mr. Sund, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. When Chills left last year it was doubtful then that he would return, certainly to the Hawks anyway, so life goes on and we have to do what we have to do. In the words of Arthur Blank: "We have moved on".
Go Hawks!!!

He will be restricted again next year, because the Hawks tendered him a QO. So we'll be playing the same Chess game next year with Childress. It's frustrating as a Hawks fan, because we have money tied up (for salary cap purposes) in a player that will not contribute. But I understand the business.
Now that we know Chills/Andersen are not coming over, I hope Sund signs a big man or 2 (Wilcox or Gooden).

If Cuban set his sights on Gooden or Wilcox, you can scratch there name off the Hawks wish list. B/c we know Mark dont mind spending the money. Hopefully he will go after Big Baby….

Some interesting things concerning the Hawks:
1.You all loathe Michael Woodson, but do you realize with the team assembled, the Hawks could make the playoffs again this year, barring injury, thus qualifying Woodson for atleast a 3yr extension? A three year in a row playoff run, in the shadow of a 10 yr drought, would all but guarantee him a contract extentsion.
2.The Hawks are looking at another 2nd round blowout because the roster has not been strengthened to battle the likes of Cleveland, Orlando or Boston over 7 games. And if the Hawks match up with the likes of Chicago or Philly in the 1st round, they may not even get out of the 1st round.
3.The Hawks biggest chance of contending for an Eastern Conference/Finals Championship will come in 2 years. The big 3, Cleveland, Boston, and Orlando, will be much older and too financially strapped to really add to their base. Atlanta has been very fiscally responsible the past 2 years and they will get their reward in 2 yrs. The Hawks will have the room to resign Joe Johnson next year and they have resigned their key vets, so look out for Atlanta on the horizon in 2011.

in your blog you mention that the Hawks will continue to retain his rights, as long as they make a qualifying offer next summer. I thought I read in an earlier blog (or someones post) that next year his free agent status goes from restricted to unrestricted.
Which one is it?
Since he is no longer building up "NBA service time" are his rights similar to if we draft a Euro player who hasn't come over to the US yet?
Otherwords, his Euroleague time doesn't count towards NBA service time, so his a restricted FA status ad infinitum until he comes back to the NBA, either to the Hawks or as a sign/trade deal?

nire, just read last night's blog. I'll take the blame. Pin it on me. As a penalty, I promise to not cut the 17 hairs left on my head until Chill is back in the league. Dammit, 16 hairs left on my head.
Samuel, I agree with you. I've seen what Kurt Thomas can do and I will take that all day long, regardless of size. So your boy Curry is down to 330 pounds, huh? I read that he forgot to bring his sneakers to a team workout. Wow!
Ariose, I figured that Acie would struggle with Nellie but he shouldn't struggle in his third summer league.
Siler has been playing well. The Hawks better sign him immediately. And show some financial guts and send RandMo and his remaining contract to the streets. Put Siler in the "big man project" slot. And send dude to a NBDL team (with a nutritionist).
Can we afford Michael Ruffin?

Yeab Doc – take your political BS to another blog… I come here to get away from that crap.
I am still waiting for Sekou to report on what happened with Andersen. Perhaps one of the AJC columnists who can take sides can discuss why the Hawks keep wasting 2nd round picks on Euro players they apparently have no interest in actually paying a competitive wage to play for the Hawks. How many is that now, over there that could have been domestic pics and in camp over the last few years? Wasn't it Millsap that was available in the 2nd on year for the Hawks, and bloggers here wanted him, but BK took….

As I stated in a previous blog. This entrepreneur first basketball player last con-artist did just as I expected. What ticks me off more then anything is how some of the Hawks Fan-base keeps sucking-up to this guy and for what? He comes back in town, feeds his ego and leaves. This move makes him a career journey-man for his entire basketball career. It seems as though he wants the Hawks to renounce his rights so he can become a free agent when his Greece contract expires. As a GM, I would do just the opposite; throw his contract in a closet and let it rot for as long as required.

Bottom line,
It was about the money. I have no problem with that but he should just call it what it is. On the radio link he said it wasn't about the money. He said, it was about the "experiences" and meeting new cultures and BS like that.
Doc, I think Barack could school him in horse. His jumper still stinks.
Next year, it will be the same thing. It's not like his stock will go up after playing two years against "college level" talent.
hey Chills, got one more image for you to take with ya before you go:

Prediabetes and Cancer: Is There a Link?
By Athena Philis-Tsimikas, MD, Special to Everyday Health A new research study has troublesome news for the 86 million Americans who have a condition known as
Fatty Dairy May Keep Type 2 Diabetes at Bay
A recent study found that eating a large amount of fatty dairy products such as cream and fermented milk could lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Diabetics Face Much Greater Risk of Heart Damage
People with diabetes and pre-diabetes may be suffering from previously undetectable heart muscle damage, a recent study found.
Diabetes: An Overview
Diabetes Symptoms
Some common signs of diabetes include frequent urination, unusual thirst or weight loss, and fatigue or irritability. But there may also be no apparent symptoms in people with type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes Diagnosis
Diabetes is diagnosed through one or more tests that measure blood sugar levels. Because its symptoms may be less noticeable or nonexistent, experts also recommend that people at high risk for type 2 diabetes undergo these tests as well.
Diabetes Treatment
The goal of diabetes treatment is to keep blood levels stable and stay healthy. In addition to drug therapy, it's important for people with diabetes to watch their diets and get the right amount of exercise.
Diabetes Drugs
People with type 1 diabetes must use insulin every day. Those with type 2 or gestational diabetes may also use insulin, as well as oral medications to help keep blood sugar within a recommended range.
Diabetes Diet
A diabetes diet can help keep blood glucose under control and ultimately reduce the risk of diabetes complications. In general, people with diabetes should make sure their diet is balanced and healthy.
Diabetes Complications
If blood glucose levels remain chronically elevated because of poorly controlled diabetes, tissue damage will eventually occur. And although this damage can happen anywhere in the body, the kidneys, eyes, nerves, and heart are at greatest risk.
Diabetes Related Conditions
People with diabetes are at increased risk of other physical and emotional health issues. Some of these are linked to the damage caused by uncontrolled blood sugar, while others may be tied to the stress of living with the disease.
Living With Diabetes
Daily life with diabetes can have many challenges, but it's possible to be both happy and healthy by sticking to your treatment plan and keeping a close eye on blood sugar levels.

Infertility Testing usually consists of several stepwise tests to detect and then treat causes of infertility. It usually takes less than 6 weeks to find out the causes of infertility.
About 80% of infertility is caused by one or more of three problems.
Infertility and fertility testing must answer which of these may be responsible for the couple's inability to get pregnant, and most of these tests can be completed within 5 weeks:
Step 1: HIS Fertility
A male fertility test is the sperm analysis or sperm count and this test should be the very first step in fertility testing. This is a test done usually in a male infertilty clinic or a urologist. It should be done even before the womnan has any specific testing done.
The ejaculate is obtained through masturbation, placed in a sterile collection cup, and brought to the laboratory. The best results are obtained when the husband abstains for three days, and the sample arrives at the lab within an hour of ejaculation. The sample is then evaluated for volume, sperm count, motility (how many are swimming) and morphology (how many are a normal shape). Here is more information on how to obtain the semen.
Although normal values vary between laboratories, a normal count is typically >20 million/mL and normal motility and morphology are >50%. This test is done to rule out male causes for infertility, and to see if the couple might benefit from treatment such as artificial insemination.
Step 2: Ovulation Detection
The first question that must be answered is whether she is ovulating normally. Are there typical signs of ovulation?. Are the eggs of good ennough quality and has the couple made love regularly during the 5-6 fertile days before and the day of ovulation.
There are several ways to find out if and when you ovulate:
Step 3: Egg Quality and Hormones
Cycle Day 3:
7-10 Days after Ovulation
Step 4: Fallopian Tube Patency
Testing the fallopian tubes is essential when checking fertility. This can be by with an HSG or a laparoscopy.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) The HSG is an X-ray test in which dye is injected through the cervix and up into the uterus and fallopian tubes, while the doctor watches on a video screen. The HSG is usually done in the first half of the menstrual cycle, between the end of the menstrual period and before ovulation. The HSG is useful in determining if the fallopian tubes are open and if the cavity of the uterus is a normal shaped. There is a slight increase of fertility after this test.
Laparoscopy A laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which a telescope is inserted into the abdomen, usually in the area around the belly button, and the pelvic organs are examined. This is usually done under general anesthesia, but in some instances is done under local anesthesia only. A laparoscopy is 'diagnostic' if used only to look at the organs, and it's 'therapeutic' when additional surgery is done as treatment.
Sonohysterogram A sonohysterogram is similar to an HSG except it is done in the doctor's office with ultrasound rather than an X-ray machine. Saline is injected through the cervix into the uterus, and the uterus and fallopian tubes are examined with ultrasound on a monitor.
Step 5: Other Tests

Molecule of the Week
December 22, 2008
Morphine is the most important alkaloid in opium, an extract of the poppy Papaver somniferum. A good grade of opium contains 9–14% of anhydrous morphine. It has been used as a potent painkiller for more than 150 years, especially after the development of the hypodermic needle. But it is extremely addictive and withdrawal is difficult.

It's full sails ahead for a new salt water recreation program at Drayton Harbor. Northwest Parks and Recreation District 2 and Drayton Harbor Maritime are co-sponsoring a community sailing school to begin in early June.
The program was made possible through a donation of more than $8,000 from parks and recreation to organize, operate and provide for the sailing school. District and harbor officials said its development has been in the works for some time.
"Drayton Harbor has been lacking in salt water recreation," said Northwest Parks and Recreation District 2 (NWPRD2) commissioner Richard Sturgill. "This partnership and this community effort are enabling this to happen."
Sturgill said the school received donations from community banks, Semiahmoo Yacht Club, Blaine Harbor Marina, West Marine Express, Blaine Marine Services and numerous other local organizations to help fund the sailing program.
"It's a real community effort. It's something that's been long overdue and everyone seems glad to help out," Sturgill said.
Sailing instruction will be led by experienced sailor Ron Snyder, a Drayton Harbor Maritime (DHM) board member. Following the success of previous DHM sailing programs, Snyder said NWPRD2 decided to join forces to provide the valuable activity for the community.
The school will begin Sunday, June 7 with a swim test at Lynden YMCA pool and Graham Hunter, DHM board member, will be the other lead instructor for the program. Snyder said the swim test was implemented to ensure participants remain calm if a boat capsizes. Students can expect to learn basic safety tips, how to sail to and from the docks and how to navigate the Drayton Harbor waters.
Snyder said he hopes participants gain not only sailing skills, but a connection to the water and the environment we live in.
"We're passing on to Blaine what we love," Snyder said. "Sailing is one of those recreations that causes no harm. You're just using the water, a boat and the air."
The school is open to all ages and Snyder said there is still plenty of time to sign up. Those interested should check out the district's Web site, where registration is also available. The cost of the week-long classes is $75 per person. Morning and evening classes are offered and youth scholarships are also available for those who qualify.
"A student in your class can be anywhere from age 11 to 111," Snyder said. "We found that mixing the youth and the adults, whether they're seniors or young adults, doesn't matter. If anything it adds a real interesting dynamic to the teaching."
Snyder said the establishment of the sailing school is just the first step among many toward the development of a Drayton Harbor Maritime center. The future facility would provide sailing lessons, boat and kayak rentals and tours.
"Blaine is a waterfront community with a long history of fishing and sailing," Sturgill said. "Drayton Harbor, and the surrounding areas, is an untapped resource for saltwater recreation. We want to utilize this incredible opportunity."

For International calls made with SmartPlug, your TEL3 account will be debited (per minute) based on your plan's rates.
You can configure your access number on the phone's settings selecting either "local access number" or "toll free number". The main benefit is that you will be charged local access rates in either case. That means we waive the 1¢ toll-free add-on charge for all calls made with SmartPlug to any country! Simplicity meets economics! View all our rates.
SmartPlug cell phone software automatically recognizes International phone numbers with the prefix "+" or 011 and 10 digit numbers with a "1" in front.

- Once the free SmartPhone software download is complete, it is ready to be installed. Your phone's system will prompt you to begin the installation. Once the installation is complete your phone's system will notify you of its completion and you should see the TEL3 logo added to your applications.
Note: Most SmartPhones require a "Soft Reset" after installation or after making changes to the preferences. Read more.
Once installed, all you have to do is either dial the long distance number directly on your cell phone or select a number from your phone's directory just like you would for any call. As your cell phone functions, the SmartPlug cell phone software constantly operates in the background. Once it recognizes that international calling is in place, it redirects the call to TEL3.
The result: Significantly cheaper international calling, without cumbersome calling codes, access numbers and PIN codes.

Filled with unforgettable characters and settings, animation has been a part of our cinematic heritage practically since the birth of movies. Many filmgoers first encountered animation when it was hand drawn on acetate sheets— more commonly known as cels. That method is still in use today, but just as often, animation utilizes other techniques and materials including clay, paper cutouts, stop-motion models, and most recently, computer-generated imagery. Some filmmakers are faithful to just one technique, while others will combine them. But whether in features or short films, family favorites or experimental art films, animation has remained at the artistic and technological cutting edge of movie entertainment and has given us many classics. Take a look behind-the-scenes at one of the medium's most beloved and powerful forms of creative expression, and get to know some of the names from around the world who have shaped this colorful art form.
Animation is a popular worldwide presence that has inspired visionaries everywhere from America to Europe and Japan, creating a diverse and truly global community of talent.read more

The Indianapolis Colts confirmed today that their head coach has a treatable form of leukemia. Chuck Pagano will miss at least next Sunday's home game against the Green Bay Packers.
Team president Jim Irsay said Pagano has begun four-to-six months of treatment – and it's not likely that he'll resume his full duties for the rest of the season. In the meantime, offensive coordinator Bruce Arians will be the Colts' interim head coach.
The 51-year-old Pagano was hired by Indianapolis in January, after he ran Baltimore's defense. Team officials said Pagano said acute myeloid leukemia, in which the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells that interfere with healthy cells. Symptoms include weakness, weight loss, and more. Chemotherapy is among the generally-prescribed treatments.
Pagano was hospitalized last Wednesday night. The Colts had a bye this past weekend. And they'll take a 1-and-2 record into next Sunday's contest against the 2-and-2 Packers at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Sigma Chi
The fundamental purpose of the Sigma Chi Fraternity is the cultivation, maintenance and accomplishment of the ideals of friendship, justice and learning within our membership.
Sigma Chi Fraternity best serves its purpose by developing, implementing and monitoring programs that foster leadership, build character and promote positive relationship skills which, in turn, enable our members to become productive and caring participants in their families, colleges and communities.
Sigma Chi's core values are friendship, justice and learning. Our vision is to become the preeminent collegiate leadership development organization—aligned, focused and living our core values. Our mission is to develop values-based leaders committed to the betterment of character, campus and community.
Chapter Update
Sigma Chi had a rough start this September, after mourning the loss of two of our brothers, Karston Waarvik and Andrew Archer, we did our best to keep our brothers involved and productive.
We started the fall semester with a parking lot concert that went very well and brought our drifting brotherhood back together. We finished renovating our mausoleum with new carpet and furniture which greatly improved the look of our house. We also renovated a couple of rooms within the house to make room for more live-in members in an effort to finally get ahead of the costs of running this house.
We hosted our second annual Homecoming Alumni Dinner with the Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority in late September and welcomed many alumni from both our house and the sorority as well as the Waarvik family. The dinner was a great success and we look forward to next year's homecoming. In a further effort to reach out to our alumni we hosted another alumni dinner on the 95th anniversary of our chapter. Within the next 5 years leading up to the 100 year anniversary we hope to make this event a favorite among our alumni. We hosted a successful Parents Day Dinner and a very well assembled and entertaining Derby Days as well this fall.
Recruitment has been the strongest I have seen in my time here. Any alumni who wants to help or just has some suggestions for the house please email Dillon Haskelll.
