Apple Pie Easy, one-crust
This one-crust apple pie is fast, easy, lower in calories, but delicious. We always make 2 apple pies while we're at it: one to eat and one to give away or to freeze (unbaked) for next time friends stop by.
Filling for one pie:
6 C sliced, peeled tart Barthel's apples*
3/4 C sugar
¼ C all purpose flour
½ tsp. cinnamon
` ½ tsp. nutmeg
Mix together dry ingredients. Sprinkle over sliced apples and mix thoroughly. Place filling into unbaked 9" single crust pie shell**. Heap filling up since it cooks down during baking. Add crumb topping. Bake at 425º for 40 minutes or until bubbly. If using frozen crust, bake on a cookie sheet as instructed on package. Cover with aluminum foil last 10 minutes to avoid over browning.
Crumb topping (optional):
¼ C butter or margarine
¼ C packed brown sugar
3/4 C all purpose flour
Mix ingredients thoroughly until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling.
*Favorite pie apples: Pippin, Cortland, Idared, Jonagold, McIntosh
**Pie Crust: A lot more pies get baked in our house since we discovered a good frozen pie crust. The one we like is Pillsbury Pet RitzT. Our favorite "from scratch" crust uses 1/3 C + 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine, 1 C all purpose flour, ½ tsp. salt, and 2-3 tsp. cold water. Mix flour and salt; cut butter into flour until crumbs are the size of peas. Add water and gather into a ball. Flatten, roll out, and fit into 9" pie pan.
Prepare pie as above. Avoid glass pans (they are easily broken in the freezer). Wrap pie in freezer or butcher paper, waxed side in. Tape securely with freezer tape. Write date and baking instructions on the outside. Use within 2 months.
To bake frozen pie:
Thaw 2 hours. Bake as above.

What a great stool, love its minimalistic design!
I like the concept but the white reminds me of two paper plates sewn together with yarn - like a kindergarten project. That doesn't mean I don't like the look though...just with a different color perhaps.
!! i bet this would make these http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00218240/ more comfortable (i have 2, and after an hour or so your butt gets a little...lumpy).
Very cool.
Thanks for sharing our project!
@hanc, we did actually mention that stool in our post - a nice leather/cord combo would be a great upgrade.
that's exactly what I was thinking!! I have the same ones
I love how this turned out!!

Girls, have you ever tried double penetration? Did you like it?
Girls, have you ever tried double penetration? Did you like it? ...Should I try it?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Be careful with whom you do it. Could be very risky. This is very graphic, but you should know this before you do anything like that. One of the people below said almost the same thing, as this. When you are in the position of being penetrated by two men, especially in the rectum, you can be easily injured, and a rectal 'tear' would not be hard to imagine. and would be a very bad injury. Young guys anticipating this kind of sexual episode, would probably know no boundries of what they might do or expect you to do. We fanticised about it for a long time before doing it and were VERY selective about the "third party".Keep in mind that the 'third party" is not very interested in maintaining a relationship with you if this is a Boyfriend you are considering as being your PRIME partner. The idea if doing it is very exciting, and it looks exciting to watch, but remember when you are on the receiving end of both men...you might live to regret the decision to do it. Plan accordingly.
What Guys Said 2
My wife enjoys it quite a bit. I give her anal and she uses a dildo for the vaginal. Just go easy... use lube.
which type of double penetration are we talking about? two in the vagina? or one in the vagina and one in the butt?
What Girls Said 8
it's up to you but it sounds painful
Just curious, how did that go for you?
It went very well, I loved it... Now I do it often.
Double penetration with a my man and a dildo that's hot
Once with a couple guys at a party and I do it all the time with toys. It's amazing, you have to try it.
I do the samething lol.... I love it
Yea I did it my freshman year with these two guys (ha obviously). It was pretty fun but you shouldnt try it if you haven't done anal already a few times before.
- Show Older Hide Older
I am surprised that you would do it in HS. My Girlfriend and I really searched around for a second guy and found one on the 'net' and met in Cleveland at a hotel. We thoughit was very difficult to do because of the body positions we had to get into and my Girlfriend had done anal several times before. We were juniors in college.
you got dped as a 14/15 yo? that's insane! and hot!
nope, but I wouldn't mind =)
I admit I fantasized about it once but I would never do it. What if the guys get too rough and overpower me and it gets out of control? I'd feel pretty bad about myself after anyway!
YES I THINK EVERY GIRL SHOULD TRY DOUBLE PENETRATION lol... I did it and it was absolutly amazing... loved every second of it... I tried it 3 months ago and Iv done it 10 times since the first time

I really like these. It is nice to have the cleaner and the q tip all in one. My only suggestion would to have someone with you maybe. To snap and allow the cleaner to get to the tip takes a little while. If the kitty doesn't seem to appreciate your work, you may need to hands.
Pros: all in one, effective

According to NBA.com, a little over 6 days and 14 hours remains before the NBA deadline is up. Normally, most Atlanta fans would half-heartedly lament the lack of rumors surrounding the Hawks, or talk of unrealistic trade proposals. Not this year. Since when is a winning record and a mere 1 game out of 4th place in the East cause for such alarm? Since when does a guaranteed playoff spot leave such feelings of gloom and doom?
Do we as Hawks fans not appreciate the team's 34 victories in 55 tries? Or is it something else?
Good teams do this, Good teams do that…
It has gotten to the point where nearly every Atlanta win comes with a handful of caveats. Well, at least if you're reading the blogs and what not. But it's not just local fans and media. It's everywhere. Why? It's now just about who you beat. It's also about who you don't beat. The Hawks may have a better road record this season, but they are 6-13 against teams with winning records. Needless to say (and I'm going to say it anyway), this does not bode well for the postseason. Good teams compete well against other good teams. The Hawks have not done that this season, for the large part. Good teams find a way to overcome injuries to regular rotation players. The Hawks have done that this season. Good teams know their identity and their gameplan. The Hawks act like they can only remember this for a game at a time, and sometimes only for a quarter at a time. Are the Hawks a good team, or simply one with a winning record? Like all things, this is debatable. But it's going to be hard to argue 6-13. It's just not what good teams do.
As usual, there isn't much going on out there about the Hawks and who they might like to acquire. The lone bit of noise being made has to do with alleged interest in Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ramon Sessions. It's hard to see how Sessions would make the Hawks instant or even eventual Eastern Conference Championship contenders, and adding him is a subject of some debate as well. While some stat experts can show that Sessions has issues on defense, could he really be worse than Mike Bibby or Jamal Crawford? Interestingly enough, there isn't much being said about his offense, which certainly has its moments. The Hawks aren't likely to get better at the point guard position through trade or free agency, but maybe that's not the bandaid they should reach for right now. Maybe they should focus on having a guy who can drive the ball to the basket, find his teammates when the defense collapses, and shoot from where he knows how to shoot. Is it the total package? No, certainly not. But with Bibby's lack of penetration and Jamal's lack of "makes his teammates better", maybe the Hawks should settle for solving one problem instead of continuing to strike out on two of them. Is Sessions worth the pursuit? Can the Hawks do better? What do YOU think?
Rock the boat, don't rock the boat
The only thing worse than a dejected fan is an apathetic fan. If Hawks management and ownership can't see this, then they are blind, deaf, and dumb. But that's precisely what is happening. Gone is the team that defended home court with a zeal not easily matched last season. In it's place is the same guys, but the passion appears to be missing. Larry Drew says the team has become too comfortable. Is he not part of this comfort level? General manager Rick Sund needs to rock the boat. He needs to rock it hard enough that the occupants think it's going to capsize and begin holding on for dear life. But, this is not Sund's way. The problem is that the entire organization seems quite well lulled to sleep. Even the finger pointing has all but stopped (sans Al Horford's recent post game comments about not getting the ball enough). Perhaps nothing is worse than having one of your team captains say that everything is alright, when so many things clearly are NOT alright. Don't tell Drew, but I think some of the players (too many of them) are still drinking the koolaid. Things only get worse after the all-star break. The Hawks only managed to sustain a single winning streak of longer than 3 games this season, and the schedule has been rather favorable. What are they going to do against all these winning teams that are coming up?
Time to rock the boat, Rick Sund. The occupants are mostly asleep, and the ship's captain looks like he's contemplating abdication.
So will the Hawks stand pat once more? Will they make any move of significance? Does anybody in the front office even care? We'll know soon enough.

What does teague do better than bibby?because he sholl can't shoot,he doesn't have any "LOCK DOWN" defense either.So how does starting teague make this team better?Have you saw teague when he has got atleast 18 minutes of playing time?PPG will go down as a team if we start teague.Hes just not the answer.He doesn't have that killer instinct in him and it makes me mad when he gets on the floor and make silly mistakes.Damn bibby don't turn the ball over.Be careful what you wish for.

How little we need from the PG….
The 1st problem was not using the early part of the season to start Teague when you had the leeway from management. If you didn't think he could do the job, he would have proved that thru his play. Now we have NO PG of any value on the team.
We don't need as much as people think from the PG…… We need a player who can play reasonable defense, create any easy shots at the basket and the fear of SPEED. We are games with the WORST PG siyuation in the league, SO HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY NEED FROM THAT POSITION.
The Hawks are a team built on being GOOD at every position(not great), they can't offset a liability like Bibby unless someone has a great performance. If every player does their job against a good team, we lose. Bibby would have to get 10ast a game, while attacking the basket to offset his defense. He
Teague's benefit. ..
SPEED.. His speed on the break would get the Hawks 4 to 6pts a game on the break.
QUICKNESS… He would be one of the top players in the league in steals..
ATHLETICISM… He is as athletic as Josh, but at the PG
REBOUNDING… our rebounding would improve because he could chase down more balls.
YOUTH…. Boundless energy
PERIMETER 'D"…His recovery speed
JOE… would nolonger get worn down from guarding those PG… he would be fresh in the fourth.
Bibby… would have fresh legs to shot his 3pt shots….I believe he would shot 50%…and get 8pts in 15 to 20min
Jamal… Jamal could be Jamal or be traded for a center that can finish around the rim.
These are the reasons I want Teague and some of the reasons I support the Sessions trade.
We are at the Elite door…Those other teams are 2 or 3 plays a game better than we are with Bibby at the helm. WE JUST NEED A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA TO KICK THE DOOR IN.

If I'm Melo, I would not sign with the Nets. By giving up 4 first round picks, they will be unable to acquire cheap talent in the future.
Even if they get Chauncey, he will either request a buyout, or decline his option next year and become a FA (imo). So who becomes the Nets PG then? And Brook Lopez is good, but he is not a dominant player.
Plus how many big name FA will want to sign with NJ/Brooklyn?
At least in NY he already has Amare, and CP3 will try and make his way there in 2 years. I think Anthony finds a way to get the Knicks to do whatever it takes to make a deal, so he can sign an extension with them.
February 18th, 2011
11:48 pm
The Hawks are trying to win 50 games, so they dont have the time to develop young talent.
Real talk though, the bottom line is the Spurs have an eye for talent, and their coach knows how to coach that talent.
If Shelden was drafted by the Spurs, he would probably be their starting PF by now (instead of possibly being traded to team number 7 in 5 years). The Spurs are that good

@ Ken, I agree. We definitely don't need another Duck out there. But there has to be wisdom to the assertiveness – shot selection is breaking this team and just because we don't have a true facilitator on the floor does not mean Smoove can't be more tactful when he has the rock. Wish he was more like Blake Griffin than Big Dog
February 19th, 2011
12:50 am
"At least Big Dog Glenn Robinson hit more of those shots, and averaged 20 and 10."
Big Dog averaged 6 boards per game for his career and never broke 7 boards per game in a season. I really hope y'all are not trying to imply that Big Dog was better than Smoove. Aside from his jumper, he was below average at everything else. Probably one of my three least favorite Hawks ever. One really infuriating player to watch, at least while he was in a Hawk uniform.

I saw that report too. But according to hoopshype, the 2012-2013 season for Marvin is $7.5 mil, and it's a player option, not a team option.

Currently, the Knicks are 5 games behind the Hawks in the loss column, and we have a 5 game road trip, along with a tough home schedule.
If the Knicks gut their team, they will still have a big 3 of Carmelo, Amare, and Chauncey. And depending on which veterans get bought out, NY becomes a very desirable destination.
Assuming we dont make a move, can we hold them off for the 5th spot?

Where the ball was dropped with this team, ignoring the confused drafts. was the selection of Larry Drew to coach the team. I have nothing against him, but this was a time for a change of culture and a time to bring in a respected coach that could corral the team. We might as well have kept Woodson as to keep his assistant. We needed Batman for the job instead of replacing the Green Hornet with Kato.
Once we made that move, I lost any

Al horford interview on hoopshype.
In which aspects do you feel you're a better player compared to last year?
AH: "I'm more aggressive offensively. This year's coach is giving me more freedom to go out and play and that has helped me a lot.".
Are you happier with Larry Drew than with Mike Woodson?
AH: No, I liked Woodson, you know? It all comes down to my maturation process as a player and being able to fit better with the rest of the team..
How have the Atlanta Hawks changed as a team with this new coach?
AH: Well, I think we're a little bit more organized as a team. We had more of a free wheeling system. Now we're more organized..
What's your take on the point guard position? Seems like the team is searching for help there. Mike Bibby maybe is a little old, Jeff Teague maybe is too young… Is that the team's weakest spot?
AH: Well, I think Bibby is doing a good job, although it's clear that in the future we're going to need another person. We don't know for how long he's going to be able to keep it up.".
Despite the more organized system though, we still have a lot of scoring droughts.

I think the Hawk(ASG)are looking towards the future rather than the present, with their emphasis being on a new CBA. Therefore, they're far more interested in using these expiring contracts to lose salary, rather than trading them and adding contracts that extend beyond the current CBA. With all of the uncertainty surrounding a new CBA, and the likelihood of a reduction in both CAPS, reducing their salary committments is their primary focus.
They'll lose approximately $4.2M from the combined expiring contracts of JCollins, EThomas, JPowell and DWilkins. They'll also lose another $13.3M from the combined expiring contracts of MEvans($2.5M) and JaCrawford($10.8M), along with the $3.63M trade exception, if they choose not to use it. That's a reduction of over $21M, which puts the Hawks $21M under the current luxury tax cap and about $9M under the current salary cap.
They know there's no player that they can acquire at the trade deadline that would get the team into the NBA finals. So, I believe they'll focus on next season and the new CBA.

Simply put…the Hawks organization is a mess. There is not STAR power on this team. They have a bunch of overpriced players that would be getting mid-level pay on any other team. Joe Johnson = $120 Million? Someone on the leadership team lacks the ability to run this organization. We all thought that Belkin was off his rockers, but we have found out that Belkin was right the whole time. #needtogetsmarter

Here's a trade proposal that was posted a couple of wks ago that would give the Hawks everything they needed.
GOLDEN STATE would send us C's ABiedrins/DGadzuric, SG CBell and PG SCurry($23.61M).
We would send them C's ZPachulia/EThomas, PF JSmith, PG MBibby, and a draft pick($22.37M).
This trade, if we could pull it off, would give us the PG we so desperately need, along with a starting quality(ABiedrins) center and backup(DGadzuric). It would also allow us to retain the expiring contracts and services of JaCrawford, MEvans, JCollins, JPowell and DWilkins, and DGadzuric's $7.25M contract would also be expiring.
Those remaining expiring contracts would put us about $20M below the current luxury cap, about $9M below the salary cap, and we'd have everything we needed as far as PG, C and PF are concerned. This would address the ASG financial concerns and make the Hawks a true elite title contending team.

The risk with Marvin wasn't that he'd "test the market" and find a better deal in '09. It was that he'd accept the qualifying offer and walk for nothing the next summer. Considering that we were already facing a similar prospect with Chills (and Marvin mighta gone his route too), it would not have been wise for us to have him go out there and "test the market" too much.
We paid him a click or two above the MLE, just a tad bit more than what we reportedly offered Chills. I really, truly do not know why people think the contracts given to him, Zaza, and Bibby are so bad. Centers far worse and far older than Zaza make far more than $4.5M/yr (if you compare per-minute production to salary, Zaza is among the better value backup centers in the league, even as much as he's fallen off), $7.5M a year is not at all overpriced for a 10/5/good defender on a playoff team, and $6M/yr through the age of 34 is not overpriced for a veteran borderline starter at PG.

I believe the Hawks will stand pat. I would trade Crawford if they can get any value back.
My only trade thought was to get Mark Gasol from Memphis for Williams, Crawford, & ZaZa (may have to take someone else to make the salaries work). Gasol is a true big and we can move Al to PF, Josh to 3.
As far as a guard I think we may have to pick up someone who's contract is up at the end of the year.

The Hawks will never be winners until they can A) succeed in the draft (Horford was anomaly) and B) avoid paying the c-list players like Joe Johnson difference-maker money. Joe's a solid player, however, he's not a front-line, marquee player.

Steven A – you've lost your mind. Josh Smith is the most overrated player in the NBA. Sure, he can slash to the rim with the best of them, but he never fails to go away from what is working and start heaving up bricks from outside. The kid is a head-case. If someone is willing to take him, I say let him go.

Ken S,
Remember that Horford's current contract ($5.4 mil) increases to $12 mil, Marvin's contract goes up from $6.7 mil to $7.5 mil, and JJ, Teague, Josh and ZaZa all get raises next year.
I was ok with ZaZa's contract.
I was ok with the $6 mil annual salary given to Bibby. What I didn't like about his deal is the 3rd year was guaranteed. i think it should have been a team option.
One other team (reportedly) that had interest in Bibby was Philly, and they did not want to give him 3 years (they didnt want to give Andre Miller 3 years either). I would have even preferred to give him an extra $1 mil per year for that option, which is similar to what Andre Miller got from Portland. 3 years, $22 mil, but 3rd year is a team option.
I did not like the Marvin contract at all.
In '06-'07, Marvin was injured and only played in 64 games. In '08-'09 Marvin was injured, and only played in 61 games. Would he want to take the risk of signing a 1 year QO, when he basically missed 20 games in 2 of his last 3 seasons? I know its a risk, but Marvin would have had more to lose (imo).
Also, one year earlier, Rick allowed Josh (who was much more valuable) to test the market. Why not let marvin test the market as well? And if he decides to sign the QO, they could still try and work out an extension before he hit free agency.
How many teams were going to have the cap space the following year to offer Marvin 5 years, $37.5 mil? And of the teams who had the cap space, how many of them needed a starting SF? We dont know all the answers, but I think Rick was in a position of strength at the bargaining table.
And then to top it off, his 5th year is a player option? I know Marvin is solid, but he plays SF, which is one of the easier positions to fill in the NBA. So at the very least, I think the 5th year should have been a team option.
Obviously, I'm not a GM, so I dont know what topics were discussed in the meetings, but I just think Rick had the better cards at the table, and he played it very conservatively, when he could have done better.

until ASG relinquishes ownership, the Hawks are no threat to win any division. Nor are they a threat to
win any playoff series beyond the first. I think the real problems with the Hawks start with ASG and trickle down from there. Face it, the ownership mess is the laughingstock of professional sports in North America.

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again. Trade for Devin Harris or Mo Williams, J.R. Smith and Nene or Gortat and Petitrus. Bibby and 1st rnd pick for Mo Williams or Harris, then trade Mo Evans, Williams and 2012 1st rnd pick for J.R. Smith and Nene or Gortat and Petitrus
C- Nene or Gortat
PF – Horford
SF – Smith
SG – Johnson
PG – Mo Williams or Harris
C- Collins/Zaza
PF – Zaza
SF – Petitrus or J.R. Smith….Pape Sy
SG – Ja.Crawford/Jo.Crawford
PG – Teague
I think this team could beat any team in the East, cause when our starters go out or strugglin you'll have players on the bench that can step in. hawks don't develope their picks anyway so why not trade them away. Imagine if last yr we would of traded Teague or Bibby and our 1st rnd pick for Harris or Mo Evans…we wouldn't be talking about we need a PG

Just say No to Sessions. Get Devin Harris or Steve Nash or just stand pat. It's funny how Sund claims he does not want lateral movement and we here about them going after a former D-League player and maybe giving up 1st round talent. This franchise is lost and Sund is a huge reason why. Say No Sessions.

From a nytimes.com blog;
Carmelo Anthony is informing those close to him that he will not sign a contract extension if he is traded to the Nets, according to a person aware of Anthony's preference.
But the Nets are unlikely to agree to trade for Anthony without the assurance that he would sign an extension. On Saturday, a spokeswoman for Mikhail D. Prokhorov, the Nets' majority owner, said that he had no plans to meet with Anthony while in Los Angeles for the All-Star Game, according to The Associated Press.
"Mikhail has not met with and has no plans to meet with Carmelo Anthony," the spokeswoman, Ellen Pinchuk, said in the statement..
Either way, I just want the trade to be over so other teams can start wheeling and dealing.

"I really, truly do not know why people think the contracts given to him, Zaza, and Bibby are so bad. "
My major beef with Marvin's contract is not that they paid him too much or that he hasn't improved since signing that deal (which are both true), but that they told Smoove to go get his own deal as a restricted free agent the previous year (resulting in a very palatable contract) and then turned around and bid against themselves while signing Marvin. Why not use the same negotiating tactic with Marvin, when it was so successful with Smoove? If the Hawks could run the risk of Smoove leaving, when Smoove's value to the Hawks is and has always been significantly than Marvin's, why couldn't they run the same risk with Marvin? Worst case scenario would have been that Marvin just signed the QO, and even if that were the case the Hawks would have had a full season to either trade him or negotiate an extension.
And also, there certainly were small forwards signed that offseason (Trevor Ariza, Ron Artest, Matt Barnes) for lower annual salaries who met or exceeded Marvin's impact and per-minute production, and a creative GM could have found a way to either trade him for a piece or multiple pieces that would improve the team overall. With that said, it's fair to say Marvin's annual salary is not that exorbitant; in my opinion, the years on his deal are what really make his contract an albatross, and there's a good chance that if he had been asked to find his own deal he would have signed for either fewer years or a lower annual salary.
In any case, Marvin's contract is the most defensible of the three. Marvin hasn't gotten any worse since signing the deal; Bibby and especially Zaza have. As northcyde likes to point out, Andre Miller signed that offseason for two years and a team option for a third year, while Bibby was given a guaranteed third year. Granted, Miller signed for a higher average salary, but he has produced at a much higher level over the last two years than Bibby despite having some initial problems fitting into Portland's offense. If bumping Bibby's annual salary up by $1 million or so would have allowed the Hawks to not guarantee his third year, that would have been a smart thing to do. Again, it's not so much the annual salary that's the problem with him as the years. Sund should have seen his decline coming (which presumably he did since he hesitated to guarantee that third year) and accordingly tried to avoid giving him that third year.
Finally we come to Zaza, whose contract is the worst and most untradeable of the three. There are less than 10 big men in the NBA who get regular playing time and have a lower eFG% than Zaza this year. He has gotten worse at the one thing he has ever done well — rebounding — and much of his rebound rate comes from getting his own egregious misses anyway. Jason Collins gets paid a minimum salary and has played better defense and made fewer mistakes than him this year. Only six big men in the league have played over 500 minutes this year and have higher turnover rates. He is 298th in PER, 215th in true shooting percentage, 364th in eFG%, and 202nd in win shares. If you assume that the typical team has an 8 man rotation (meaning that there are about 240 players who play regular minutes), those ranks would imply that Zaza is a fringe rotation player for an average team, let alone a playoff team. Why any GM would feel the need to lock up a player of that caliber for four years at any rate is mind-boggling, let alone at $4.5 million per year. Chris Wilcox signed that summer for $3 million per year over 3 years. Rasho Nesterovic signed for 1/4 of Zaza's annual salary. Ryan Hollins signed for half that much and only two years. Don't get me wrong, all three of those players are unquestionably scrubs, but each one meets or exceeds Zaza in every traditional stat per minute and in every advanced stat category and signed for less annual money and fewer years. Zaza's contract is absolutely indefensible in every way, shape, and form, and quite honestly I'm not sure every 6′11″ D-Leaguer couldn't come in here at a minimum salary and do what he does.

Really, if you're not going to play a guy for more than 20 minutes a game, I don't see why he should get more than a one or two-year deal, especially when you are unwilling to exceed the luxury tax threshold.

Big Dog averaged 6 boards per game for his career and never broke 7 boards per game in a season. I really hope y'all are not trying to imply that Big Dog was better than Smoove. Aside from his jumper, he was below average at everything else. Probably one of my three least favorite Hawks ever. One really infuriating player to watch, at least while he was in a Hawk uniform.
You're right about the rebounds, shoulda done my homework. As for the rest of it, who is "y'all?" I never said or even implied Robinson was better than Smoove. He's a better shooter/scorer when it comes to a perimeter game, and he's a career 20 ppg guy. That's it. I don't miss the guy, and I don't feel like he and "Smoove" even played the same position. When I saw Glenn, I saw a SF. When I see Smith, I see a PF.
As for infuriating, I find Smith to be quite a bit infuriating in his own right. This is coming from a long time Smith fan who is not interested in arguing about who the most infuriating Hawks player is in history.

Najeh ,
Your 6:20 p.m. post was pretty dang strong. Some very good points, and I'd be interested in seeing any intelligent rebuttals to it, especially from any and all who felt the center position was in just fine and dandy shape with Collins/Zaza/Thomas as the backups to a an all-star who already was leaning away from the center position (and this hasn't even come to a head yet…which I believe it will).

Do you watch Shark Tank, the show where entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of potential investors? My husband and I are borderline obsessed with it; I can't think of another show that feels so interactive in terms of causing us to repeatedly pause the TV so we can hash out our opinions of any given deal ("Ugh, royalty in perpetuity? Classic Mr. Wonderful" "Oh what a complete surprise, Robert's out, who could have seen this coming?").
I like assessing the products I see on the show, but I can't help noticing that out of all the various parenting-focused products that have cropped up lately, none of them truly address MY needs. In fact, it seems like for every day-to-day parenting challenge I face, someone out there has invented a solution ... that doesn't even remotely solve the problem.
Here's what I'm talking about:
PROBLEM: It's difficult to get all the peanut butter out of a large jar. You know when you're down to the final half-inch or so and you can't get the dregs out without smearing PB all over your hand?
EXISTING INVENTION: The silicon "PB N'J Spreader" utensil.
Are you supposed to scoop out the jelly with the grape side, then spread it with the peanut? THIS IS JUST WRONG.
MY SUGGESTION: Make a Jif container with a second lid on the bottom. BAM.
PROBLEM: Kids leave their dirty laundry all over the floor instead of in the hamper.
EXISTING INVENTION: The "Dunk Your Laundry" door hanging laundry basket.
Because that doesn't look flimsy and too small and like a saggy sock-filled testicle conspicuously displayed in your kid's room.
MY SUGGESTION: A pressure-sensitive mat you put near the hamper that produces an earsplitting air horn alarm if someone carelessly tosses their jeans on the floor.
PROBLEM: Boys make toilets gross.
EXISTING INVENTION: Multiple lids, one for each member of the household.
Mmmmm, layered urine crust sandwich. Can't wait to clean not one, but several peed-on lids at a time.
MY SUGGESTION: Toilet with moisture-detecting sensors built into the seat, lid, and base. User must wear a collar during elimination, when moisture is present, collar delivers electric shocks of varying intensity and duration. Adult sizes also available.
PROBLEM: Children whine when their cereal gets soggy as a result of their own breakfast-related shenanigans.
SOLUTION: The $20 "Never-Soggy Cereal Bowl," which allows you to dip each cereal spoonful into a separate container of milk for "the perfect bite every time."
First worldiest first world bowl ever.
MY SUGGESTION: You goofed around with your brother for too long and now your Frosted Flakes are a little bit mushy?
What parenting-related product do you wish someone would invent?

LMAO this is great!
This made me laugh. The multiple toilet seats made me gag.
to solve your peanut butter issue just use a rubber very long handled spatula that is for frosting cakes. It will clean out the jar of peanut butter till nothing is left and you will not get any on you hand if the handle is long enough.
Its what I use.

Last week I went to Lucknow, by train- Shatabdi to be precise. Getting up at 5 in the morning was compensated by the thought of having tea in 'Kulhar' (earthen glasses).
The memories of my childhood days in Lucknow, went flashing through my head. I would sometimes visit an Eating Joint (not a flamboyant joint- that's why 'sometimes') called 'Sharma Tea Stall', which was famous in Lucknow for it's bun-makkhan (bun with butter) & Kulhar mein Chai. That's the first place where I was introduced to Kulhar mein Chai, as a kid. I absolutely loved it. Tea tasted different in Kulhar; not to forget the aroma of mud along with that of Tea. (No wonder the tea served in 'kulhar' was more expensive than that served in cup- they charge you for the 'experience'- slice of life products). I also made it a point to have tea in kulhar at the roadside Dhabas, during journeys by road. Beside everything else (I believe) Kulhars were the most hygienic option. Let me fast forward to 28th August, 2004. I'm sitting in the train, looking out through the window at the green fields… Maybe not-so-green… We didn't have good monsoons this year… 31 districts declared drought hit… poor farmers…(thoughts abridged) My thoughts were disturbed by the train attendant, for tea. He placed the tray and a glass. A Glass!!! "Hey! Excuse me." My sister called out before I could recover from the shock of seeing a glass. My sister continued "Don't you have Kulhars?" "Yes we have , Ma'am." " Then we'll prefer Kulhars. Please get two of them" Turning to me, she asked, "You want Kulhar to, right?" I 'nodded ' (a 'yes' of course). I was still contemplating why wasn't the sever carrying Kulhars along with the glasses. The last time when I travelled in July, they had both Kulhars & glasses and would ask passengers what they'd prefer. Why did they withdraw the option? Is it because most of the passengers didn't want it? If yes, then why? Are the Kulhars unfashionable or uncivilised or both? We used it in Ancient India, the why not now?
A simple question- "Just how many of my fellow Indians eat non-Indian food (whatever it's nationality be) three times a day, seven days a week?" Wait, I'm coming to the point. If eating Indian food (cooked the same style through centuries) hasn't become unfashionable and uncivilised then why Kulhars? Especially when it's the best option of the two (2nd being glass-even if it's not plastic), at least in public transports like train. I'm not going to give an encore on benefits of Kulhars, as it's been heard many times in the past couple of months. I just want to ask everyone to go for Kulhars. One should feel proud of it. At least Indians can do it for a start and maybe, as always, the world will follow us.
Once, again the trail of my thoughts was disturbed by the train attendant- offering me a Kulhar this time. My sister and I were the only 2 passengers in the whole compartment sipping tea from Kulhar; 'proudly'.
this reminds me of the numerous cups (err.. kulhars) of tea which i drank on agra-mathura-delhi track... hmmm.. its tastes so good.. yummy
tea is those earthen glasses totally different altogether. when i was a student at jal i was not much of a tea drinker. but i used to make sure i drank tea in up, just for those earthen pots.
anything in them plain rocks.

Executive Orders: Good, bad or depends?
In recent months there have been a lot of discussion about the President and his use of Executive Orders. The question is, are Executive Orders a good thing or bad? If one party within Congress is hindering government so badly, is the President correct to use the Executive Order to go around them?

Actually the Executive Order is allowed and has been used all the way back to the days of Washington. I think if it was not then the Supreme Court would have done something about it.

Executive orders are a violation of the Constitution, no matter the justification given. Congress makes the laws. The Ececutive Breach executes those laws passed by Congress. This Administration decides which laws to enforce and which ones not to. Immigration is the prime example.

"you support the Marxist actions of obama. No more proof needed."
I don't support any Marxist actions Ithink. You failed. Try actually using proof next time.
"than a thousand unimportant trivial decisions. The number does not matter."
That's odd because most people seem to be upset that Obama is going around Congress. They don't seem to care the reason why he is going around them. Even the Congressmen on Fox News seem upset just because he is using the Executive Order and not for the reasons of why he is using it.

Halloween Rides on Ghost Trains & Haunted Boats for LA Kids
So you've already been to the pumpkin patches, and you're ready to take Halloween to the next level - you're ready, in fact, to put it in motion. Well, we know six different ways to take this haunt on the road - with everything from an old-fashioned train ride through fields of pumpkins to a terror-filled hayride through fields of zombies. Whatever Halloween means to your family, you can make it a ride at one (or more) of these annual haunts.
Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch
Daily September 21 - October 31, 2013
Admission free; Each activity $4
1 Irvine Park Road
Irvine, CA 92862
This train isn't haunted, but it spends 12 minutes meandering autumnally among the pumpkins. In addition to the Pumpkin Train, kids can jump in a moon bounce, go on a hay ride, play carnival games, get their faces painted, and pick pumpkins at Irvine Park Railroad (most activities $4). Be sure to check the coupon page before heading over.
The Pumpkin Patch is located just behind the train station, and admission is free, but the County of Orange charges a gate entrance fee ($5) to drive into Irvine Regional Park.
Headless Horseman Dinner Train
Select dates October 5 - 27, 2013
Adults $47; Children (ages 4-12) $32; (ages 2-3) $24; Infants free
351 Santa Clara Street
Fillmore, CA 93015
Slightly off the haunt-beaten path, Fillmore & Western Railway invites families to creep aboard a vintage train for a spooktacular adventure that includes dinner, storytelling, and a search through a remote pumpkin patch for the Headless Horseman. Costumes are encouraged, and advance reservations are required.
Every Sat & Sun in October
Adults $20; Children (ages 4-12) $12; (ages 2-3) $10; Infants in lap free
Another offering by Fillmore and Western each October is the Pumpkinliner, a daytime family ride on a vintage train to the railway's own pumpkin patch. There's nothing spooky about this ride at all - just a wholesome family outing on a Halloween-themed train to a pumpkin patch that feels wonderfully far from town.
Ghost Train
Weekends October 12-31, 2013
Griffith Park
5202 Zoo Drive
Families with young kids looking for spooky rides through Griffith Park line up annually to ooh, aah, and eek on the Los Angeles Live Steamers' Ghost Train. The unique, seven and a half gauge ride-on train gets a big dose of witches and goblins for the season, as well as flashing lights, creepy skeletons, and eery tableaux. Kids must be at least 34" tall to ride; brave kids of three, uncynical kids of ten, and grown-up parents of everyone in between squeal with glee as the train spirits them away.
Los Angeles Haunted Hayride
Thu-Sun (+ some Wed) October 5-31
Griffith Park (Old Zoo)
4730 Crystal Springs Ave.
This is not your mama's hayride. The Haunted Hayride, a vehicular source of thrills and chills not for the faint of heart, causes adult screams through Griffith Park each year. This is an event best shared with teens and no one younger - but boy will your teens think you're cool. If you have kids of different ages, the Halloween carnival set up at the ride's starting point offers options for family members not ready to be scared witless.
Queen Mary's Dark Harbor
Weekends October 2 - November 2, 2014
$20 and up (best prices are online)
1126 Queens Hwy
Long Beach, CA 90802
The motion here is only side to side - but there is no young kids' version of this haunt. The historic, purportedly haunted Queen Mary creates its annual Halloween Terrorfest on board in port in Long Beach, featuring several spooky mazes that wind their way through the hull of the ship. Costumes are not permitted, and Dark Harbor is not recommended for anyone under the age of 14.

Joe Giudice: Cheating on Teresa With Atlantic City Hoes?by Free Britney at . Comments
Cheating allegations involving husband Joe have dogged Teresa Giudice all year on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Now new details have come to light.
Reports say he was canoodling - and likely more - with an Atlantic City side piece last month.
Georgia resident Rosie Jones tells Radar Online she was at Harrah's Resort when she spotted Joe Guidice at the bar with a woman he eventually left in a cab with.
"I walked into Harrah's bar around five in the morning and saw Joe Giudice conversing with a young girl," Rosie told the celeb gossip site. "I know it wasn't Teresa."
"She looked like a working girl, although I can't prove it. They walked to a more secluded area in the casino and played the slot machines for a bit."
Teresa was in Charlotte, N.C., as a guest at the Southern Women's Show at the time.
"Joe's friend came over and she sat on his lap and then Joe started rubbing her face and stroking her hair," Rosie explained. "Joe had his arm around the girl."
They eventually left together, the onlooker claims.
During the Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion Part 2, cast member Jacqueline Laurita also called Joe Giudice out for cheating right to his face.
"And now that you're going there, you told me your husband cheated on you several times," Jacqueline said to Teresa Giudice at the Bravo taping.
"You caught him with his secretary, the babysitter… and you asked me what you should do because my ex-husband had cheated on me."
Teresa adamantly denied the cheating accusations then. She has yet to comment on this new report of Joe palling around with the A.C. chick.
Caroline, Jacqueline and Melissa are so jealous of Teresa that they are dead set on ruining her credibility. All these women are a bunch of haters; they don't have personalities so they feel like if they dump on Teresa it will make them look good. All of these women try so hard to equal Teresa but they are lifeless and fake. They supposedly come from good homes with good husbands and great children, BULL. Caroiline's children couldn't make without their parents, financial support; Jacqueline is crazy just like her daughter; She is incapable of completing a thought without stuttering. Melissa's husband Joe is trying to put his wife out there to be a celebrity and she has no talent and no personality.
Joe might be a cheater, but I bet one or two of those husbands cheat. I don't think Joe's cheating is going to stop people from loving Teresa.
I am sorry but are you being paid by Teresa? The other females are respectiful woman! Teresa throws back the hard working and honest Italian culture centuries. Pay back the money you owe and teach your children respect. I feel sorry for you! God Bless
Did you enjoy the Kool-aid?
Clearly they Not only enjoyed the Kool-Aid, but bought, spiked it and distributed it themselves...
She knows damn well he is cheating but doesn't want to lose that house and the $$$$. Once she is settled with her cook books and wine sales etc, and done with the show, she should have enough $$ to go out on her own. He was so ignorant as usual on The Reunion Part 2 that I was actually embarrassed for him. Burping out loud, slugging that Red Bull. The shifty eyes and the dumb Ginnie attitude. who the hell would want this piece of shit.??? Teresa is the most stupid housewife on any of the shows.
I agree with you so much. She herself has not an ounce of class, has sloppy grammar, dresses like a cheap hooker with those ugly, sequined, feathered clothes. It looks so awful. Those other women have no reason to be jealous of Teresa. She's not attractive, she speaks horribly, CAWFEE.. oh Thank God I don't know anyone who speaks that way. All I can say is if she's on Season 5, I'm tuning out and will never watch that loud mouth screeching loser again. She's disgusting..
Joe is a piece of crap. whats interesting is that whenever teresa is called out on her behavior, she blames it on her husband. they are both horrible people. Do they not realize that it is 15 minutes of fame, and it will go away, and when it does they will have no family. The c word that he called his wife on the show was awful, and to me showed that he does not value her as a person, as a money maker yes, but not as a person, and the mother of his girls.
I think that Joe is the reason behind Teresa's behavior. He wants her all to himself because she the big money maker right now. He wants to isolate her from everyone who loves her so that he can control the situation without ant outside interference. Teresa is completely deaf and blind. As far as the magazines, I think that Teresa does'nt really want to sell these stories, but in her mind she is doing whatever it takes to keep her lifestyle afloat. Her vanity has exploded in her face. She needs to come down from that very high cloud she is drifting on and start anew. Joe is like a cancer eater Teresa alive. She should really come down from that cloud before it is devastatingly too late. She should put her children before any money, anybody, and any husband. Good luck, Teresa.
psst: TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE?
Once again, really, who is the difference? She's 40 years old and she's old enough to know better. Look at how she started junk with another really cheap looking definite hooker, Danielle, but Teresa did start that whole scene and she's disgusting. She's like some nasty high school kid that used to bully people just for the sake of doing that. Jacqueline acted ridiculous herself. I think she is a terrible mother because she's not effective with Ashley and she can't hold a sentence together to save her damn life. She's like a total ding bat.. What the hell. She gives the lowest life of people chances and I'm sorry, when it's in your face that a person is scum, she just keeps on calling them friends.That's a bad trait. I can see her daughters attitude comes directly from her because Jacqueline was just as responsible for acting like an ass when they attacked Danielle,as much as she grosses me out, as Teresa was. So she has no room to talk.
I don't think Joe just started this behavior. I don't think this is something Tre didn't already know about him. It doesn't come as a surprise. His behavior being made public is the problem. That may be the straw that breaks the camels back. She has her children to think of too. And she loves him. She's going to have to do something now to save face.

Number one: the non-aggression principle: you do not initiate the use of force against your fellow man, woman, child, or hermaphrodite. Number two: property rights: we own ourselves, we own the effects of our actions, and government violates the non-aggression principle by creating a monopoly of force; a small group of people, with all the guns on the planet, who get to order everyone else around."

A certain gardener invited his friend to see the beautiful roses which had flowered in his garden. His friend was a goldsmith, and he went there with his touchstone. On seeing the roses he said to his friend, "I do not believe your statement simply by seeing the roses. You cannot deceive me, I am not a child. I test gold, so to test roses is child's play. I shall test them."
The gardener asked, "How will you test the flowers?"
His friend replied, "I have brought my touchstone with me."
The gardener became nervous and thought, "I made a mistake in inviting this man!"
But by this time the goldsmith had plucked a flower and tested it by rubbing it on the touchstone. He threw the flower on the ground and said, "The touchstone has shown that there is nothing in this flower; it is fake."
The sage of this sutra will feel the same as the gardener must have felt if someone tries to understand this sutra from the logical point of view. Flowers are not tested on the touchstone for gold, and if someone tries to do so, the flowers are not at fault; it merely shows the man's foolishness. Of all the sutras of the Ishavasya, this especially has the flavor of self-realization. This cannot be tested by the touchstone of logic, and it is fully implied in the sutra that it should not be so tested. It is telling us that it is going to say something which is irrational, which is beyond logic, which cannot happen and yet happens, which should not happen and yet happens, which has no basis for its happening, which has no way of being proved - and yet it happens, and yet it is!
Life is irrational: what does this statement mean? It means that those who try to find out the meaning, the secret of life from the point of view of mathematics, logic, justice, conventions, rules and regulations, will remain without knowing it.
The goldsmith tested the flower on a touchstone. If you take that flower to a science laboratory and say, "This is a very beautiful flower," then the scientist too will dissect its every part and say, "Where is the beauty here?" He will extract its elements one by one and scatter them. Each chemical will be separated and then he will ask, "Where is the beauty?" It has juice, minerals, chemicals, and all such things, but there is no beauty in it anywhere. If beauty is not found in the laboratory of a scientist, it is not the fault of the flower; nor is it the fault of the scientist, because his laboratory is not there to discover beauty. The dimension in which beauty may be sought and measured is altogether different.
So those who think about life from a mathematical point of view can never measure it, because life is basically a secret. All our knowledge, however great it may be, is founded in ignorance; it simply hints at what remains to be known. And as we come to know more and more, we realize the depth of our ignorance. We are not able to unfold life, and if we try, we become more and more entangled.

NBC fumbled and the NFL lied because a performer known as M.I.A. felt it necessary to flip off millions of families. It is unfortunate that a spectacular sporting event was overshadowed once again by broadcasting the selfish acts of a desperate performer.The Parents Television Council would like you to know that it does not approve of M.I.A. flipping them the bird last night. Also, nobody cares what the PTC says.

We've all heard it a hundred times a day on the radio, but now the music video is here. It's no walk in the part, how do ya do, gold chains, big booty b*tches, I'm rich, video. It has a lot of deeper issues in it. I feel that it definitely makes the song better.
Now if you don't know, Mr. Carter is being sued for stealing the beat on how to love. Read about it on TMZ.
Weezy will be performing tonight at the VMA's, and will drop his newest album, Tha Carter IV, at midnight. Although, there have been many leaks, whether they are real or not is to be seen.
