Sizing Information
We tried the size Medium in this jacket on Huey and we put an XL jacket on Dewey. These are the sizes they normally wear and both fit very well. The jackets are a bit roomy as compared to many other sport styles, so if you are sometimes between sizes, choose the smaller. Otherwise just choose the size your normally wear.
The chart provided by Speed and Strength shows chest sizes for each alpha size that are about a half size larger than what you'd normally see for "standard" conversion from chest size to alpha size (example: an XL jacket is usually listed as a 46 max chest). Considering my comments about how the jackets fit a bit roomy, I'd consider this chart to be accurate.

Our Two Cents
Here is a great deal on the Hi Vis color of this jacket. It is not being carried through for 2014 (but the other colors in the jacket are available for 2014… weird). Anyway, we were able to pick this closeout group at a very reasonable price. The Hi Vis color is my favorite! Paul, 09-16-13. * Here is my product review on this jacket:* The Trial By Fire mesh jacket is made for hot weather use. All areas but the shoulders and a bit down the sides of the torso are a full mesh jacket which will allow the air to blow right through. A design like this is welcome in really hot weather. It's my opinion that a full mesh jacket like this is even more comfortable than no jacket at all because it will keep the sun off and cut down on windburn (a problem in low humidity/hot weather). The overall styling is sharp and the construction quality is very good. We've taken some good photos of the jacket's features that you can view by clicking the "View Larger Images" link above. All the usual suspects are there. The one strange thing about this jacket is the removable liner. It is a VERY thin stretchy fleece material. It is not windproof or waterproof (which is common in full mesh designs, and it is not nearly thin enough to provide insulation. What's it for? I dunno…. maybe somebody will tell me! Speed and Strength says "moisture wicking", which I wonder about. Wouldn't you want the full effect of the air right on your body? Why a wicking layer? Anyway, overall, I really like the style… particularly in the Hi Vis color. :: Paul, 04-24-12

A teacher from Effingham County High School is being recognized as one of the top six outstanding agricultural education teachers in the U.S.
Dr. Freddie Waltz received a two-year lease on a new 2013 Toyota Tundra for his hard work and dedication to his students. Waltz says he plans to use the truck to drive his young farmers to various career development events.
"It's great. It's a real honor and certainly I contribute that to the group of folks that I work with here in Effingham County. If it had not been for them, this would not have been possible." said Waltz.
Each year, Toyota honors agriculture educators for their commitment to educating students on the importance of the agricultural industry. The two-year vehicle lease was presented through a sponsorship with the National FFA Organization.

Re: New SRS patch Wietse Venema Sun Mar 18 10:00:18 2012
Christoph Garst: > Hi, > > i've made a new SRS patch for debian postfix-2.7.0. > It is based on Sheveks patch for postfix-2.1.4 but has many I think I have found one architectural problem with this implementation. It SRS-ifies the envelope sender BEFORE giving it to a delivery agent. The problem with this is that the delivery agent will report delivery status notifications to the SRS-ified envelope sender address. This can be avoided by SRS-ifying the sender in the delivery agent while it encapsulates the message into SMTP. SRS is really a transformation that is tied to the SMTP protocol. This could be addressed by making smtp_generic_maps more general, such that there are separate variants for envelope sender, envelope recipient, and likewise the message header addresses (perhaps with names like smtp_sender_envelope_generic_maps, etc.) Wietse

Are people of faith in fact gullible?
Gullibility is the belief in something with no substantiating facts to support that something. I contend that if you believe in something based upon Scripture, whichever religion you belong to then you are gullible. That is not to mean evil or stupid but simply gullible. This also differs somewhat from credulous depending on what actions you take in support of your beliefs or faith.

Apr 18 2013: Dear Don Wesley,
Thank you for your insight. I feel that I have opened Pandora's Box with my question, but I am glad I did. Let me suggest a variation on the question I had asked earlier. Are Republicans/Democrats gullible? Now I think I would likely get an equally vocal response to this question from a different set of contributors but I would contend that the question is equally valid or invalid as the question regarding faith and religion. I still contend, particularly after this conversation, that we as a people must begin to insist on moderation and reason in dealing with our societal issues. This implies tolerance, forgiveness, kindness and consideration. This isn't a rellgion but common sense.
Apr 19 2013: Gord, my personal view is that, indeed, if aspects of a religion do not connect and are not supported by our "common sense" it should be really deeply examined.
In fact an often heard response to Swedenborg's Writings is "This is a religion that makes sense" The often contradicting literal text is unified, and make perfect sense, in their spiritual meanings.
Our definition of "faith" is "an internal [mental] acknowledgement of truth." IOW if we don't understand something, we cannot believe it, acknowledge it as truth.
Apr 21 2013: Common sense may have cultural or societal dimensions.
E.g someone from a christian infused cultural may laugh at reincarnation, and buddha being born out of his mothers side after she was impregnated by a ray of light, thinking this fails the common sense test, yet believe virgin births, resurrections and angels etc.
You might consider magical souls, and a spiritual realm common sense whereas i find it highly speculative etc. im doubtful of swedenborgs claims of talking to spirits on other planets, just the planents known at the time, not neptune.
However i agree in regards to practical instructions that make sense in their own right e.g. Buddhism's middle path between asceticism and materialism.
Your definition of faith is a bit circular potentially, and differs from other common definitions.

Mazda will unveil at the Tokyo Auto Show the RX-7 Coupe, a concept with design cues inspired by the Kabura and Ryuga, as well as other Mazda DNA. The RX-7 will be the first Mazda Rotary Coupe since the third-generation RX-7 launched in 1991.
The car will feature a particularly distinctive exterior design, with lightweight, compact and high-output next generation RENESIS(2) rotary engine. It will epitomize Mazda's spirit of sports car, as the RX-7 won popularity among the customers since its 1978 launch. The last RX-7 model (FD3S) ended a 10 year production run in August 2002, and is sometimes still regarded as the pinnacle of Mazda Engineering and Design.
The RX-7 is in its 3rd generation. Production was stopped in 2002, but RX-7 remains the greatest technical achievement Mazda ever did. The question is: is the RX-7 Concept that will be unveiled in Tokyo a preview of the 4th generation of the model launched in 1991? We will have to wait for the Auto Show to come and see!

|GRN Recycle Talk FAQ
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 98 10:08 WET DST From: email@example.com (Fred Friedman) Subject: Re: Litter vs. waste (Lisa Samstag)
Oct. 19, 1998
Dear Lisa Samstag,
The differentiation between the terms litter and waste are that litter is the far smaller category: it implies that someone dropped it in the environment, from a tire by the side of the road to a windblown newspaper, the sort of stuff which the organization Keep American Beautiful deals with.
Waste is the vaster category which takes in the municipal waste households throw away and sanitation trucks collect, destined not for recycling but for landfill or incinerator. It also takes in sludge from water or waste treatment plants, solid, semisolid and liquid wastes resulting from industrial, commercial, and agricultural operations. And it takes in other things including litter, as well.

Rosita Missoni
You started your hotel brand in Edinburgh. Why there?
If the Bank of Scotland had offered us Paris or New York or Milan or Rome, it would have been too much to start a new thing. Edinburgh was just the right dimension and it is an important, historic city. The location was interesting, five minutes from the castle on the Royal Mile surrounded by historic buildings and beautiful architecture. It was frightening in a certain way, and at the same time, I decided then to use black and white prints and inject color.
Color is your signature.
Color helps to make life more exciting, especially if it is following certain characteristics, certain traditions of the country. In Edinburgh, the doormen have kilts. They have less color than the regional Scottish kilts—they are black, white, and red, a modern ode to the Scottish tradition. The corridors leading to the rooms are colorful, and we wanted to have colorful furniture—purple in the bathroom, turquoise on the desk. The elevators are a total world of Missoni; they are kind of a secret, something you discover.
What about for Hotel Missoni Kuwait, your newest?
Kuwait is much more colorful. The hotel faces the ocean, and of course patterns are inspired by the traditional souks and markets and all their spices. We covered the ceiling with turquoise fringes as a continuation of the ocean outside. In the restaurant Cucina, we mainly used green and turquoise, and some black here and there. In the ballroom there are huge chandeliers with gold fringes, which help give movement. The pool is really stunning with a garden filled with all kinds of palms and cacti. The doormen wear a kind of kaftan. For that I consulted the Sikhs to see if it was offensive to make the garment since they are always dressed so elegantly in white robes, and they said not at all.
What is your definition of hospitality?
We enjoy hospitality in a very subtle sense. Hospitality is welcoming people so they feel at home. Feeling at home is to be at ease, to feel well, to have a sense, even without being aware, of pleasure. And of course service, without being too much. I don't want to be called Mrs. Missoni a hundred times. I can't stand it. I want a good restaurant, and I don't want to fight with a long menu. I want the menu to change at least four times a year, if possible following the seasons, because every season has different vegetables. I am European, I am used to following seasons with fruits and vegetables. I don't want to see asparagus at Christmas.
What's next for you?
We are working on a hotel in Oman, which has a beautiful location on the beach; it's a lovely country, the nature is very bare, but the sea is beautiful and they grow flowers everywhere. Fingers crossed (we have to get all of the special permits) that we will do one in Salvador, in the Gulf of Salvador. The nature is breathtaking since it is part of a national park. Another place we are looking is Turkey.

Product review: Sutus Business Central BC200
Sutus has small offices covered with crisp telephony, clever workspaces, networking and security, and a nice priceFollow @infoworld
But that's not the half of it. Each Sutus workspace is actually a collection of services that include phones, e-mail, and network file folders. Depending on permissions you set, these workspaces can belong to an individual, a group, or a location. I think this should provide a very good collaboration experience for very small firms.
In operation, the sound quality of the Polycom phones was excellent. Furthermore, accessing the system menus from the phones didn't tax me. For instance, three steps allowed me to access messages in my workspace or a shared workspace. Sutus also provides other typical voice messaging system (VMS) functions, such as forwarding messages and accessing the VMS from an external phone.
The BC200 doesn't match the telephony features of the high-end PBXtra configuration or Allworx with add-ons. But Sutus has three-way conferencing and supports fax machines connected to the Gateway 310.
Another point in this solution's favor is reliability features that don't cost extra. For instance, automatic backups and RAID hard disks, plus a reboot and recovery agent should make SMB owners feel more comfortable.
In the case of Sutus, less is truly more. The lower price (considering all the hardware components) doesn't reflect diminished features. Moreover, the Sutus hardware was the most compact of the group, considering that wireless and a router are built in. Sutus' sweet spot is clearly very small operations, so the only caveat is the lack of expandability.

Slowey….and a programming notePosted on June 25th, 2008 – 7:37 AM
By La Velle
The results are definitely better for Twins righthander Kevin Slowey lately. He's won his past three starts, during which he's posted a 1.35 ERA.
He's been throwing two bullpen sessions with pitching coach Rick Anderson between starts, the normal session two days after starts then a 4-5 minute touch-up session a day later to make sure he's sharp. Anderson has tried the same thing with Glen Perkins, tonight's starter.
I expected that Slowey would take a while to adjust to major league hitters, and he's in that process now. He's far from overpowering, so he has to have pinpoint control and get one step ahead of hitters.
He needed 55 pitches to get through three innings on Tuesday. While San Diego didn't hit him too hard, he had trouble finishing off hitters and some at-bats ran long. That's the big hurdle he needs to clear now – putting hitters away – and he'll really take off.
I've said this before, but Scott Baker had the same trouble a couple years ago. Now he's the Twins' most reliable starter. If Slowey can take that next step, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire won't have to debate a pitching move after six innings and 92 pitches.
In other news, I'm filling in for Rock Bottom Radio from Noon to 2 p.m. today on KFAN. Phone lines will be open.
Update: Just wanted to point out that the umpire who appeared to step into Mets manager Jerry Manuel on Tuesday before tossing him from the game was Brian Runge. Runge is the same umpire who tossed Ron Gardenhire from a June 15 game in Milwaukee. Gardenhire then was fined for time-wasting.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My first character, warrior, was originally a herbalist/alchemist. When Wrath launched, I changed the herbalism to Armorsmithing in hopes of good armorsmith-only tanking stuff. Yea, I was pretty foolish. Since then I have leveled a hunter with skinning/enchanting(skinner/miner before hitting outland), shaman with leatherworking/tailoring(was LW/skinner 'fore lvl 75 or so), druid with herbalism/alchemy(I love alchemy as a profession)... I'm probably going to drop my warrior's alchemy to better fuel her blacksmithing in Cata and also to...
I'm making my (tauren) Priest engineer and jewelcrafter because those are the only two professions I don't have in the high 400's already. And hence, having a miner around could be beneficial :)
So yea, I juggle about with professions a fair bit, since I find leveling them quite fun.

Let Them Wash With Honey Cake
All clichés aside, this truly is the most wonderful time of year—especially for beauty junkies. Between the limited-edition product sets and all the festive packaging, its like being a kid in a candy store—a gold-flecked lipstick, shimmer powder-packed candy store. The latest exciting seasonal offering to cross our desk comes from Shiseido. The famed Japanese skincare company re-releases its cult favorite Honey Cake soaps once a year, and the time to cash in on the translucent disks that can be used to cleanse both body and hair (the lather is that impressive) is now. Formulated with a mix of vitamins, minerals, and the amino acids found in honey, the sweet amber and fern scented French milled soaps are super-mild yet extremely effective at washing away impurities, requisite festive packaging included. Choose from emerald or ruby-toned wrapping while supplies last—or until December 26, when the soaps will disappear until next year.

Working Group on Development of Children for the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012): (Volume One)
AbstractNineteen per cent of world's children live in India. India is home to more than one billion people, of which 42 per cent are children, defined as persons under 18 years of age. In international comparisons of the status and condition of children, India continues to rank poorly on several key counts. The world's tenth largest economy unfortunately ranks 127 on the Human Development Index (HDI). If all child rights indicators were to become a critical measure for HDI, India would fare even worse, because of its low levels of achievement on accepted national goals for the survival, development and protection of its children.

We Shared a Thrift, and it was like Snorting PCP
It was a snow-slushy, sunny day in oil town Alberta when I found myself on a prison break with one of my sister wives, Tinkerbell.
sister wife [sis-ter wahyf]
1. In a polygamous marriage, a woman who is simultaneously the sister and co-wife of another. [Wiktionary]
2. A Mormon co-wife, originating from the Mormon concept of 'sisterhood'.
3. A female employee working for 'the man' within a team of female co-workers; involuntarily co-existing among a smoldering cauldron of estrogen and diverse personalities while striving towards a common goal of gettin' er dun; sometimes experiencing syncing menstrual cycles and pre-menstrual melt downs.
I rode shotgun as Tinker drove aimlessly, just two girls with no direction (except temporarily away from work). Her voice was casual when she asked, "do you like thrift stores?"
Adrenalin pumped through my arteries like the bass drop of a dub-step song, the same rush I experience when watching youtube videos of Persian kittens being bathed, surfing through feminist ryan gosling dot com, or hearing the intro to Return of the Mack and knowing that the next 3 minutes and 43 seconds of my auditory experience will be fucking bliss.
"I have a raging boner for thrift stores, Tinker."
It was then that the interior of Tinker's jeep exploded with hyper-feminine "oh my gods" and the birth of a new comradery based on mutual, thrift-inspired lady-boners. As the decibel of our chipmunk squeals hit brain bleed, we lost traction on a patch of ice and slid towards the intersection ahead. While the slide wasn't dramatic enough to require the holy-shit handle, it was worrying enough for me to chant in my native tongue of Fucklish.
This is it, I thought. Whether we make the stop, or rear end the Honda in front of us, this moment-- right here, right now-- will be the climax to my excitement for the day.
We made the stop.
As we exhaled in sync, like the fate of our menstrual cycles, Tinker turned to me with a smile and said, "you lost your stiffy, didn't you?"
"Yeah, I'm a little flacid right now."
We continued on our way to a neighborhood thrift store, a thrift store I had once entered and immediately exited due to their merchandising style which, sans piles of used adult diapers, was inspired by hoarders. But this time was different: spatially spread out, sectioned off, and not managed by someone with a severe mental illness. Tinker and I puttered through the vintage trinkets, verbally analyzing items based on era, colour, texture, purpose, possible refurbishment, how that item made us feel at that exact moment, all the while preceding the same script of adjectives with the word 'so'.
"So cute."
"So awesome."
"So cute."
"So awesome."
We made our way to the back of the store, which at one time had been a storage room, or possibly the hoarder's dungeon that housed the squished, mummified animal carcasses, when something in the shadows caught my eye.
Elaborate replica formerly for sale via Etsy shop, Painted Cottages.
Suddenly shit got real.
I knew from the get-go that this headboard was not meant to be mine. I was infatuated with the colour scheme of my bedroom, and red was not welcome. When we saw the $40 price tag, and at closer inspection, confirmed the velvet was not saturated with fifty year old bodily fluids, it became apparent that Tinker needed to do what was right and buy the headboard. Tinker, however, has a husband.
I understood (and respected) Tinker's hesitation. She was being conscientious of her husband's boundaries, a courtesy that I was rarely given by my past man-wives who would stock pile dizzying numbers of man-dolls, sports paraphernalia, edged weapons; who would add their decorative touches by creating feng shui murder scenes with electrical chords webbing across the floor, or hanging a corner store calendar featuring Canadian landscapes in the middle of a massive, feature wall. I understood the sensitivity of bringing another 'show' item into the household, particularly since Tinker told me she has an affinity for spending evenings in her garage with a bottle of wine, spray painting the shit out of second-hand, home accessories. Tinker texted her husband her sales pitch, cell phone picture in tow. After a short period of text tennis, husband gave the thumbs up: "as long as it doesn't collect dust in the garage."
As we carried it outside and loaded it into the back of Tinker's jeep, the sunshine hit the red velvet, proving that the brilliancy of the color had defied the test of time. Grandma had obviously kept that shit swaddled beneath plastic in her guest room for fifty years with a sign reading, "touch it n' imma cut a bitch." When we saw the red velvet illuminate, we screamed, we cheered, we hollered, and I may have thrusted my groin through the air repeatedly while grunting, "fuck yeah."
I then realized I had been wrong. Drifting on that patch of ice would not be the climax to my excitement for the day. Tinker and I had found a pristine, antique, red velvet headboard for $40. In the world of vintage, that shit doesn't happen every day. We didn't just go thrifting, we had a thrift. WE HAD A DAMN GOOD THRIFT.
"I feel like I just snorted some PCP."
"Followed by a rail of cocaine," Tinker replied, and we knuckle-bumped our fists together like the O.G.'s of thrift.
"I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I - I - I'm hunting, looking for a come-up

LOS ANGELES, July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The life of Oprah Winfrey, one of the most famous and influential persons in the world, is being made into a movie. Larry A. Thompson, acclaimed Hollywood filmmaker, is basing his story on the recent biography, Oprah, written by investigative reporter and international bestselling author, Kitty Kelley, and published by Crown Publishers, a division of Random House.
"Oprah Winfrey's fascinating journey from rural Mississippi to the World Stage is packed with simple truths and complicated personalities," said Larry Thompson. "Kitty Kelley's extensively-researched book offers us the factual foundation to frame our cinematic portrait of this powerful and beloved Icon.

In addition to Oprah Winfrey, Kitty Kelley has written bestselling biographies on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, England's Royal Family, Nancy Reagan, and the Bush Family. Thompson has produced critically-acclaimed movies about Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz, Sonny & Cher, and The Duke & Duchess of Windsor. His latest movie, "Amish Grace" is the most-watched and highest-rated original movie in the history of Lifetime Movie Network.

The data is bounded to and rendered within the listbox. This is achieved by utilizing the self attribute of the listitem to assign variables which would each represent an Employee. The data binder will then loop through each employee and output the template code shown in Figure 13 below. Each listcell will therefore be bounded to the respective bean and its mutators. A similar methodology is applied to the components in the group box which represent the selected item. Each one of them is bounded to specific data of the currentEmployee bean using techniques discussed throughout this chapter. Therefore, as the currentEmployee changes when selecting on a different employee in the listbox, the relevant textboxes are also updated. These techniques apply throughout ZK. The relevant extract is shown in Figure 14. Having loaded and displayed the data, it is time to start manipulating it.
Figure 13: Listbox display template
<listitem> <listhead> <listheader label="ID" hflex="2" /> <listheader label="First Name" hflex="3" /> <listheader label="Last Name" hflex="3" /> <listheader label="Age" hflex="1" /> </listhead> <listitem self="@{each='employee'}" value="@{employee}"> <listcell label="@{employee.id}" /> <listcell label="@{employee.firstName}" /> <listcell label="@{employee.lastName}" /> <listcell label="@{employee.age}" /> </listitem>
Figure 14: Extract showing currentEmployeeInformation
First Name: <textbox id="txtFirstName" cols="25" value="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee.firstName}" /> Last Name: <textbox id="txtLastName" cols="25" value="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee.lastName}" /> Age: <intbox id="intAge" cols="1" value="@{employeediv$composer.currentEmployee.age}" />
CRUD operations on the UI
So far the data has been loaded and displayed, but the whole point of web applications is to manipulate data. Hence add, create, update and delete methods need to be created. This is achieved via 3 buttons displayed in Figure 15. These buttons are tied to functions in the controller which capture the events. The functions are outlined in Figure 16. Figure 16 highlights the business logic behind the crud operations, most of these are self explanatory and are of basic Java calls. One item readers may notice is that each component is referenced directly from the code. To enable this function, a developer only needs to specify the component type and its id in the controller and ZK will do the rest through automatic wiring. For example, Figure 17 shows that declarations are enough to make access to components possible in Figure 16.
The last talking point is how ZK would know to update the listbox model after updating, adding or deleting an item. This is simply a matter of assigning load-after in the model attribute on the listbox to the relevant button events which update the model. When one of these events are fired the model will be reloaded. Figure 18 demonstrates the code necessary for this. Breaking it down, it is as simple as specifying the component id followed by a '.' and the event name.
Figure 15: CRUD buttons
<button id="btnAddEmployee" label="Add" width="36px" height="24px" /> <button id="btnUpdateEmployee" label="Update" width="46px" height="24px" /> <button id="btnDeleteEmployee" label="Delete" width="46px" height="24px" />
Figure 16: Controller Click Events
// click events public void onClick$btnAddEmployee(ForwardEvent fe) { String firstName = txtFirstName.getText(); String lastName = txtLastName.getText(); int iAge = Integer.parseInt(intAge.getText()); Employee employee = new Employee(firstName, lastName, iAge); if (!_model.add(employee)) { reportError(Messages.getString("EmployeeController.0"), employee); } } public void onClick$btnUpdateEmployee(ForwardEvent fe) { if (lstEmployee.getSelectedItem() != null) { Employee employee = (Employee) (lstEmployee.getSelectedItem() .getValue()); employee.setFirstName(txtFirstName.getText()); employee.setLastName(txtLastName.getText()); employee.setAge(Integer.parseInt(intAge.getText())); } else { UiUtils.showMessage(Messages.getString("EmployeeController.2")); } } public void onClick$btnDeleteEmployee(ForwardEvent fe) { if (lstEmployee.getSelectedItem() != null) { Employee employee = (Employee) (lstEmployee.getSelectedItem() .getValue()); if (!_model.remove(employee)) { reportError(Messages.getString("EmployeeController.3"), employee); } } else { UiUtils.showMessage(Messages.getString("EmployeeController.4")); } }
Figure 17: Component declarations
//text boxes Textbox txtFirstName; Textbox txtLastName; //int boxes Intbox intAge;
Figure 18: Load-after
model="@{employeediv$composer.getEmployeeModel, load-after='btnAddEmployee.onClick, btnDeleteEmployee.onClick'}"
As demonstrated, implementing a representation of Java data which is editable is very easy in ZK. Using 2 ZK specific files (index.zul and EmployeeController.java) it is possible to leverage the power of ZK to create a general CRUD application which can operate on a Java based datastore. ZK's advantage is due to it's server-centric nature which provides easy access to all the server's resources, thus eliminating the need for any glue code.
Going further
The source code for this application is available on Github. If you would like to read more about ZK and other features, such as its transparent server push mechanism, then the documentation is a great place to start.

Those darned folks at NBAdraft.net are killing me. When I went to bed last night, they had the Hawks taking Wayne Ellington, the elegant North Carolina shooter, with the 19th pick in Thursday's draft. At 3:02 a.m., they updated their mock, and now they have the Hawks choosing Jrue Holiday, a point guard from UCLA. And I'm doing some rewriting because …
I like Ellington a lot.
I don't like Holiday at all.
He averaged 8.5 points and 3.7 assists in his one season at UCLA. True, he was playing alongside/behind Darren Collison, a more seasoned point guard, but the consensus across college basketball was that Holiday had underwhelmed. (He actually seemed a better defender than an offensive player.)
Holiday has been projected to go in the upper half of Round 1 but could be sliding. Me, I think there's good reason. Me, I think he's way too raw. Me, I'd much rather see the Hawks take Eric Maynor of VCU or Ty Lawson of North Carolina, both of whom NBAdraft.net projects as being available at No. 19. But maybe that's just me.
More projections: Chad Ford of ESPN.com has the Hawks taking Jeff Teague, the Wake Forest point guard, in his mock. (Link requires registration.) DraftExpress also tabs Teague as a Hawk. But Ian Thomsen of SI.com has Teague going 14th to Phoenix and has the Hawks taking Earl Clark, a 6-foot-10 forward from Louisville.
True confessions: I don't much like Teague much. I like Clark's talent but not his disinclination to dominate. (I've seen enough of that with Marvin Williams.) But I'm seeing Hawks GM Rick Sund this afternoon, and I'm sure he'll tell me exactly who the Hawks plan on drafting.
The Atlantan John Hollinger, who does love his numbers, has Lawson, who's 6-foot, ranked No. 1 among prospects (requires registration) on ESPN.com. He has Blake Griffin, who'll be the No. 1 pick, No. 2. He has Nick Calathes of Florida, who might or might not go in Round 1, No. 6. He has Danny Green, who might have been the sixth-best player on North Carolina's roster, rated No. 8 in this draft.
And Hollinger has Toney Douglas of Florida State (and Jonesboro High), who was voted the ACC's best defender and who led the league in scoring, ranked 62nd. (Note: Only 60 players get drafted.)
This is one of those statistical rundowns I don't fully buy, especially when measuring potential. But Hollinger claims his Draft Tracker, whatever its methodology, sniffed out Carlos Boozer, Josh Howard and Danny Granger. So there.
The hard-working folks at NBAdraft.net have compiled a divisional rundown, complete with salary numbers and expiring contracts and suchlike, and they have a particularly keen take on what the Hawks must do not just with the draft but with the summer.
To wit: " Re-signing both [Mike] Bibby and [Marvin] Williams may be tough for the Hawks this summer. They may have to decide between Bibby's leadership and Williams' potential. Bibby has proven his worth in Atlanta and will not cost the Hawks as much as signing the younger Williams. Williams has proven only that he wasn't worth the No. 2 overall pick in 2005.
"The Hawks will be better served signing Bibby to a reasonable 3 year contract and drafting a wing player with the 19th pick for insurance in case Williams gets a large contract offer from an outside team like expected. The Hawks already have at least 20 million coming off the books for the big 2010 free agent class, and if they let Williams go elsewhere then they could be even bigger players in the summer of 2010."
Given that I wrote a little something last week about the need to part with Williams, I'd like to applaud the sagacity of this appraisal. And while I'm applauding, here's what NBAdraft.net sees as the Hawks' draft options:
"They could get a quality guy to replace Williams' role. Wake Forest's James Johnson would be a steal at No. 19. North Carolina's Wayne Ellington should be able to come in right away and score points. Louisville's Terrence Williams or Xavier's Derrick Brown could also be good fits."
I've already said I like Ellington. I don't like Johnson at all. Brown I like some. As for T-Will of the 'Ville: Loved him as a collegian, but how many pro teams need a point forward?
And in Round 2 …
NBAdraft.net has the Hawks spending the 49th overall pick on DeMarre Carroll, a forward from Missouri. DraftExpress has them taking Dionte Christmas, a swingman from Temple.
And you know who NBAdraft.net has going 55th? Jodie Meeks of Norcross High.
Tell me again. Why'd he decide to leave Kentucky with a year's eligibility remaining? Had he not heard about the Wildcats firing Billy Gillispie? Who leaves school to go 55th (of 60)?
For further reading: Here's a later post containing the fruits, such as they were, of my Monday interview with Hawks GM Rick Sund.
June 21st, 2009
10:13 pm
Between the Hawks' recent first-round debacles and the uncertainty of this year's draft, I don't think anyone can begin to have a decent idea of who the Hawks might take until they get to around pick #14 or #15.
June 22nd, 2009
7:51 am
If the Hawks can take Teague, it should be a no brainer. They are still banging their heads against the table for not taking Paul a few years back. Now I don't think Teague is in the same league as Paul, but I think he can be a solid NBA PG. This will also allow the Hawks to get rid of Bibby next summer. And why would the Hawks take Ellington? He is nothing but a jump shooter. Not very athletic, doesn't create his own shot well and doesn't really play defense.
June 22nd, 2009
8:04 am
Another wing player, seriously? Whatever, at least it appears this GM has a plan, maybe.
June 22nd, 2009
8:13 am
I'm ready to get Bibby re-upped, I know that. He's the hardest piece to replace if he goes. He and Zaza.
June 22nd, 2009
8:18 am
Hawks need a point guard and a center. This draft is stong on point guards and has few center prospects. Its time the Hawks learned to draft for need rather than continuing to take the best available 6′7″ tweener. Given the circumstances it seems that the best available point guard should be taken. By the way, what is the current status of the Australian center that plays in Europe that the Hawks have draft right to?
June 22nd, 2009
8:22 am
This is a very interesting draft with so many different potential routes by all teams. Based on trades and free agency who knows who will fall to the Hawks at 19 or if the Hawks will still have the 19th pick on draft night. There are a lot of point gaurds. The Hawks should take one. Hopefully Mr. Flynn is available, but if not there is Lawson, Teague, Mills, etc. Ellington is a good shooter and we could use one more shooter. We made have to trade for a quality big man or maybe we could sign Gotat away from Orlando. We've seen Billy Knight work and he wasn't too bad by my account. Now lets see what Rick Sund does. Go HAWKS!!!
June 22nd, 2009
8:30 am
What are the odds that we try to move up in the draft? Is it possible?
June 22nd, 2009
8:50 am
If we sign Bibby, then sign Ellington. If we let Bibby go, you better sign Lawson. If you keep Bibby and can trade Josh for a center, draft Hansbrough. So, it all depends on the direction of the team. Problem is, they won't know before the draft and will draft the wrong guy. History proves it.
June 22nd, 2009
9:14 am
you sure that's Meeks? i thought he was #23…
June 22nd, 2009
9:19 am
I'm definitely growing on wayne Ellington as a Hawk. When drafting outside the lottery, I always value older, experienced guys with winning backgrounds. Plus he provides ATL with a skillset that is in serious need (outside shooting). Hey, if we pick up Ellington, would we have more collegiate champions on our roster than any other in the league?
Do you think Patty Mills, with his speed, shooting and international experience is worth trading up in the 2nd round to acquire? Mills and Ellington seems like a nice future back court to groom.
June 22nd, 2009
9:29 am
Trade down and get Patrick Mills. He will be the sleeper in this draft.
June 22nd, 2009
9:39 am
Ellington is not "very athletic" by NBA standards. He's not a great defender and does not have much quickness laterally. He reminds me of a Shan Foster, athletically, but probably not the shooter Shan was. I believe Foster was drafted in the 40's…the Hawks should take a serious look at Tony Douglas. He will be biggest steal of this year's draft.
June 22nd, 2009
9:41 am
You know, if we got another coach we'd solve at least three problems. We'd have a decent PG (Law, who currently may as well not even be on the roster despite being at least as good as half the people we're suggesting in the draft), JJ wouldn't "fade down the stretch" anymore because he'd no longer lead the league in minutes every season, we could package Marvin "no package" Williams, Bibby, and "Speedy Claxton's Expiring Contract (I refuse to believe the actual person exists)" for a CENTER. Now there's a novel idea. Horford is a great enough talent to play the position if he has to, but why force it? If we got Caron Butler, it wouldn't even have to be a great center, just a big body. There ought to be a way to swing two trades out of the aforementioned players plus the 19th pick and get Williams' replacement and someone like Ilgaskus. If we must keep Woody, we could trade at least 5-7 players to get them since he only uses a 7 man rotation anyway.
June 22nd, 2009
9:52 am
People kill me with the "..we passed on Chris Paul and Deron Williams stuff.." and the Marvin Williams at 2 overall and Shelden Williams at 5 overall were huge mistakes – listen folks, hindsight is 20/20 otherwise this draft stuff is a big crapshoot – no one has a crystal ball – all the GM's can do is use the info available, pick and hope for the best – Marvin was the consensus " best athlete in the draft " and Shelden was ALL-EVERYTHING in college – the best center we could hope for is Gortat and the best college point guards we saw were Lawson and Mills – we'll see
June 22nd, 2009
10:05 am
Great article MB. Any idea who the big free agents are next year?
June 22nd, 2009
10:06 am
Is there any chance that the Hawks get Childress back this year? That would be a big help and a back up plan if Williams doesn't return. I think that if Ty Lawson is on the board at 19 then we shouldn't pass him up. The Hawks are at best when they run the floor and Lawson is the by far the best guy for that style.
June 22nd, 2009
10:07 am
Any likelihood that the Hawks would trade next year's first round pick (and maybe Acie Law) for a pick in this year's draft? That might give them the opportunity to take both Wayne Ellington and Terence Williams.
I agree with you about Ellington–sweet jumper and some protection in case Johnson leaves in free agency after next year.
If you plan to re-sign Bibby and Murray, why not draft a point forward like Terence Williams? Since shooting, not play-making, is what Bibby and Murray do best, adding a playmaker to the line-up should not only help them but should also free Joe Johnson from having to handle the ball so much.
Besides, having a point forward worked out pretty well for the Bulls of the 90's didn't it?
June 22nd, 2009
10:10 am
Jay, I'm pretty sure Jordan might have had a little to do with it. They could've had a point center and won titles.
June 22nd, 2009
10:11 am
Almost forgot about Zaza. But 8 hasn't been enough since the 70's.
Yes, lots of people mistakenly thought Marvin wasn't a reach at the time, but only BK and Shelden's Momma thought he was a top 20 pick (much less 5…still hard to even type that without cringing).
June 22nd, 2009
10:11 am
What we need is another coach! The Hawks coach is terrible at using his bench. Just look at how he gave a obviously injured Al Horford starters minutes over ZaZa when Horford was available in the playoffs. And when did Joe Johnson get hurt? When we were down by what? 30 points in the 4th quater?? I mean seriously… would Phil Jackson still have Kobe in the game at that point to risk injury?
Our coach has no idea how to rest players and use his bench!
June 22nd, 2009
10:12 am
Resign Bibby and develop Teague. No one could guard him in college. He's a fast player like Paul and could be a great player for years to come. Get a shooter with the second pick (Meeks).
June 22nd, 2009
10:21 am
wow- there are so many directions that the Hawks could go this summer. The thing with Marvin is that you HAVE to at least sign and trade him. We cannot let the #2 pick just walk in a restricted year. Therefore, even if we move him we have to get back similar financial value, which still makes signing Bibby and Zsa tough. I would prefer to sign Flip, Za, and Marvin(even if a trade) and draft a point guard.
June 22nd, 2009
10:24 am
Oh and one more thing. I don't like the idea of taking Ellington. Toney Douglas went for 30+ against him in the ACC tournament (FSU won that game) and went for 27 against UNC during the regular season. Not to mention the fact that Coach K said that he is the best player in the ACC. He also brings defense and toughness. They could get Douglas in the second rd which sounds a lot better than taking Ellington in the first which is a player of equal or lesser talent.
June 22nd, 2009
10:25 am
wow- Toney Douglas at 62? I think he would be a steal at 49. I hope the Hawks can get him.
June 22nd, 2009
10:27 am
System-specific. Hawks need to draft catch and shoot players or big guys who can clean the glass. One of the reasons Acie isn't a good fit (besides his chronic hang-nail problem) is that he needs the ball for 10-15 seconds to be effective. That would allow him to either drive to the rim or penetrate and dish. But only Joe gets to hold the ball that long in this offense (even Bibby doesn't just pound the ball). Teague appears to be more like an Acie type of guard. Give me Tony Douglas. He will stop dribble penetration, can catch and shoot and will grow into a better distributor. And his ACC DPOY pedigree is no joke. Check the stats, the Hawks problem last year was more about defense and less about offense.
June 22nd, 2009
10:27 am
thanx MB
June 22nd, 2009
10:38 am
There is another Tar Heel, if he drops to 49 as one mock draft guesses, that the Hawks should take. Danny Green is an upgrade to Josh Childress. He's the same spark-off-the-bench as Childress, but a better shooter and defender. I would take Lawson if he is available and not resign Bibby, but it would be difficult to pass on Hansbrough if he is available. He never takes a second off when on the floor, something the disappearing acts like Marvin, Josh, Bibby and Joe might learn from.
June 22nd, 2009
11:06 am
Trade Marvin for a draft pick! Get Steph Curry!! Get a coach that has the balls to tell Josh Smith hes a terrible shooter and is killing his team with his stupidity!
June 22nd, 2009
11:13 am
If Jrue is on the available then we should take him. He may be raw but he has potential to be good and if we resign Bibby then we can allow him time to develop and figure out if Acie is the guy for the job or should we use him as trade chip.
As for Ellington, he reminds me of a taller Rodney Monroe that played at NC State in the 90's. Deadly shooter from anywhere on the court but not much of a creater off the dribble.
June 22nd, 2009
11:28 am
Jrue Holliday is an interesting pick, which depends on if you think the UCLA system was "holding" him back. I dunno…. little shaky if you ask me.
June 22nd, 2009
11:28 am
What do I come away with from this blog? Mark Bradley doesn't like Wake Forest players. True confession, I don't like Mark Bradley at all either.
June 22nd, 2009
11:35 am
Hawks don't set weak-side screens. And other than Horford, they really don't have anyone even capable of setting a bone-rattling screen. At #19, Sund would do well to find someone who can impact a game in about 12-18 minutes of playing time. And not by scoring but by either playing wicked perimeter defense or being a Jason Maxiell-type force on the glass.
June 22nd, 2009
11:36 am
And that's what scares me about him (the Rodney comparison). He seems to be a great shooter but what else does he bring to the court (ala JJ Reddnick). However, I do admit that I haven't follow him that much as I did some other college players.
Also, I think Dejuan Summers will be the sleeper of this draft…
June 22nd, 2009
11:41 am
I disagree with you on Jeff Teague. He athletic, he can drive, and he can shoot. I know he not a true point guard, but dont you think he can develop those in time, especially sitting behind Mike Bibby?
I think his scoring can help us. thoughts?
June 22nd, 2009
11:55 am
How does Wayne Ellington compare to JJ Reddick?
June 22nd, 2009
12:04 pm
I have to agree with all the comments on needing a new coach. It's ridiculous that this team is BUILT for running yet our coach steadfastedly refuses to change his style to a running game. A coach who cannot change with the makeup of his team is not worth having. It's much easier to change one person than a whole team. Without a 3-5 year overhaul, this team will not fit Woodson's style. They might not ever fit his style given there are so few players you can find that do fit into it.
If you also take into account that the old-school, slow-down basketball is no longer the style that most of the better players fit into, then you are further handicapping yourself. Oh yeah, lets not forget that most of the free agents that are worth having will simply NOT come to a team that forces half court sets.
If we got a coach in here who knew how to use this talent, Acie would be workable at point and we wouldn't be forced to sign the below average defender and mediocre PG in Bibby. Josh Smith would become a true force on offense given that most PF's cannot run with him, and most SF's he could back down. Marvin can run as good as most PF's and would be tough to matchup. This would also force other teams to stop plying bigger centers that could post up Horford (Hawks had major problems with this last year), because he can run so well they would have to counter that with a smaller guy (except for maybe Orlando). Our entire bench outside of ZaZa can run with anyone also.
We are wasting the prime years of the best young, athletic team in the East by continuing this half-court nonsense when we have NO reliable outside shooters. Johnson went thru so many cold spells last year we need to move him NOW, while he still has some trade value.
June 22nd, 2009
12:05 pm
What's with the point guard talk? The Hawks need size inside and lots of help on the offensive boards.
Wasn't that obvious in the playoffs?
