Tulisa Contostavlos and Alan Sugar's online war was sparked when the Apprentice businessman tuned in to the new series of X Factor on Saturday night - and he didn't like what he saw.
Alan, 65, tweeted: "Can you tell me who the hell this bird is on X Factor. What has she done?"
He added: "This Tulisa talks nonsense on X Factor, what qualifications does she have to judge singing talent."
X Factor judge Tulisa replied: "@lord_sugar as someone that came from nothing to something maybe u should have more respect for people that have done the same.
"I have grafted from the age of 11 with my band NDUBZ, we wrote & produced all our music, sold 3 platinum albums, 3 sell out tours the last being an arena tour & a No.1 debut solo single!
"So mr lord of judgement... stick to judging the Apprentice & I'll stick to what I know MUSIC. #itsaNOfromme."
She then apologised to her 2,258,202 followers for her outburst: "Soz bout that peeps. But that t*at has been bad mouthing me since last year!"
But Lord Sugar proved he's not intimidated by Tulisa's feisty attitude and was determined to have the last word.
He replied: "Don't insult me by comparing my humble beginnings with yours."
Lord Sugar is known for his snappy, no-nonsense Twitter attitude and is embroiled in an amusing online war with journalist Piers Morgan.
Piers picked up on Alan's latest argument and Tweeted: "Oh dear... @Lord_Sugar getting schooled by @officialtulisa - most amusing."
But Alan retorted: "@piersmorgan shut up... you have as much talent as her."

Shooters know the .44-40 Winchester by a few different names. Originally released by Winchester, it was called the .44 Winchester Center Fire (WCF), or .44 Winchester for short. Some called it the .44 Largo. Winchester introduced the cartridge in 1873 with their new lever action rifle, the Model 1873. This new rifle and cartridge swaggered boldly into the shooting community, being carried to the peak of gun culture in the late 1800's by Colt's introduction of their Frontier Six-Shooter. This revolver was based on the immensely popular Single Action Army and was chambered in the .44-40 Winchester. The travelers and adventurers moving West during that time were able to carry ammunition of only one type for both their rifles and handguns. This simplified the logistics of supplying for their firearms, a feature valuable enough both then and now, that Winchester has chambered their Model 1873 rifle in .357 Magnum.
Union Metallic Cartridge started producing the .44 WCF cartridge, but when they released it, it was with the designation .44-40. This new name followed the convention of listing first the caliber of the bullet - .44, and listing second the powder charge - 40 grains. The result was ".44-40." UMC refused to include Winchester's name in their product descriptions, but Winchester refused to accept another company's name for a cartridge that they had developed. The .44-40 descriptor eventually became better known and more used, so Winchester compromised. They now refer to the cartridge as the .44-40 Winchester.
The .44-40 Winchester performs respectably by today's standards for pistols as a LRN bullet weighing 200 grains has a muzzle energy of 688 foot pounds, and a muzzle velocity of 1,245 feet per second. Many deer and game of a similar sized have been taken by this cartridge in the last 140 plus years, and there's no reason to think that will change anytime soon. Generally speaking, however, the .44-40 cartridge sees most action today in the hands of a cowboy action shooter. The .44-40 has recently surged again in popularity as a loading made specifically for cowboy action shooting with the heavy 225 grain LFN bullet easily makes the minimum power factor.
The .44-40 Winchester, whether used to recreate the times of the Old West, or bring home a deer with a short range shot, the cartridge is still serving its shooters well.

JPMorgan's Creditors Look Past Madoff Fees in Bond SaleCharles Mead
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is paying a lower relative cost to borrow than before the financial crisis even after ceding more than a year's profit to settle disputes linked to faulty mortgages and Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
The biggest U.S. bank borrowed $5.25 billion yesterday in an offering that included 10-year securities yielding 1.125 percentage points more than Treasuries, the narrowest spread among similar JPMorgan notes since 2005. The measure, used to gauge creditworthiness, has contracted from 1.33 points a year ago and is the tightest among similar-maturity bonds of Wall Street competitors including Citigroup Inc. and Morgan Stanley.
"They still command some of the best rates among the big universal banks, by all means," Chris Baker, a credit analyst at Morningstar Inc. in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
That's after spending more than $23 billion on legal settlements in 2013, which helped end a three-year streak of record annual earnings even as it led the world in corporate-bond underwriting for the sixth straight year. While litigation expenses may remain elevated in 2014, JPMorgan's earnings power means any legal issues should be manageable, according to Standard & Poor's.
5-Part Issue
JPMorgan's five-part offering included $1.5 billion portions of five- and 10-year debentures, $500 million of three-year notes, $750 million of floating-rate securities due in 2019 and $1 billion of 4.85 percent, 30-year bonds paying the same spread as the 10-year allotment, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"We have a hard time making sense out of extending 20 years, but picking up no additional spread," Baker said. The equivalent relative yields may be due to "pension funds needing long-duration assets and having a hard time finding the supply to match up with their longer liabilities," he said.
The 10-year bonds traded at 99 cents on the dollar to yield 4 percent at 9:43 a.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Tasha Pelio, a spokeswoman at New York-based JPMorgan, declined to comment on the bond sale.
JPMorgan's litigation costs sapped $1.1 billion from fourth-quarter profit of $5.28 billion, down 7.3 percent from a year earlier with the firm paying $2.6 billion to resolve criminal and civil allegations it failed to stop Madoff's fraud. That brought its legal settlements from the past two years to more than $29 billion.
Narrowing Spread
The bank, led by Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, booked a $7.2 billion charge in the third quarter amid provisions to cover legal expenses, including part of a record $13 billion settlement of mortgage-bond probes. Still to be resolved are inquiries into whether hiring practices in Asia violated anti-bribery laws, as well as possible manipulation of interest rates and currency benchmarks.
That hasn't stopped investors from accepting lower relative interest rates to own JPMorgan's debt. The average spread on the bank's dollar-denominated, senior unsecured debentures declined to 88 basis points on Jan. 20 from 117 at the end of September, Bloomberg data show. That's below the 101 basis-point average for similar debt linked to Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Corp. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which paid an extra 136 on Sept. 30, the data show.
The JPMorgan bonds mature in 7.5 years on average, compared with 5.5 years for its competitors. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
'Earnings Power'
While the bank has a lower Tier 1 capital ratio than each of its U.S. peers, it still generates the most profit, Bloomberg data show. Net income of almost $18 billion in the last four quarters is 29 percent more than second-ranked Citigroup, giving JPMorgan greater ability to withstand charges.
"When we talk about ability to absorb legacy settlement costs and other charges, no one's better equipped to do that than JPMorgan because they can simply earn so much," said Conor Pigott, a credit analyst at Barclays Plc in New York.
The company may produce an almost 11 percent return on equity this year, the highest estimate among competitors that may generate an average of 8.6 percent, Bloomberg data show.
"The earnings power of the baseline bank has remained strong and its businesses have not been impacted by the litigation," said Stuart Plesser, an analyst at S&P, which has an A credit rating for JPMorgan. "That earnings power is going to take over at some point in time."

Detroit Bad Boys - All Posts A community of Detroit Pistons fans since 2005 https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/48119/detroitbadboys-fave.png 2017-02-26T16:30:02-05:00 http://www.detroitbadboys.com/rss/current/ This is an XML content feed. It is intended to be viewed in a newsreader or syndicated to another site, subject to copyright and fair use. 2017-02-26T16:30:02-05:00 2017-02-26T16:30:02-05:00 Considering Rip Hamilton's legacy
Hamilton will be the third "Going to Work" Pistons to have his jersey retired

In many ways, no one person signified the "Going to Work" Pistons more than Richard Hamilton.

Hamilton, who joins Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups, as members of the Pistons of the first decade of this century with their numbers retired by the Detroit Pistons, never jumped off the page.

He was a three-time All-Star who averaged 17 points per game in his career. He never sniffed an All-NBA honor and won't be going to the Hall of Fame. Truly, Hamilton's body of work never really stood out.

There were always players who were stronger than him, faster than him, shot the ball better and played more suffocating defense.

But he was relentless.

And what better word could be used to describe the Going to Work Pistons than relentless? They, like Hamilton, never stopped moving. They, like Hamilton, played all 24 seconds of every possession. During their best years, both Hamilton and the team had a tireless work ethic.

Another thing that strikes me as I reflect on Hamilton's legacy is that as that Pistons' era is defined by team ball with no superstars, Detroit's entire offensive engine was built around Hamilton's four teammates working to set up open looks for Rip's mid-range attack.

Hamilton was known as the best-conditioned athlete in the NBA, and a player that would never stop moving. But Hamilton needed to have those screens, often a thankless task, set by Wallace, both Ben and Rasheed, and to have Chauncey expertly bait opponents to create the passing lane that would connect Mr. Big Shot to one of Hamilton's countless curls.

It wasn't sexy, it didn't lead to highlights on Sportscenter, but damn if it didn't work well enough to keep Detroit's offense humming well enough to stay one of the most dangerous teams in the NBA for eight years.

Of course, there is an unfortunate irony to talking about how Hamilton and the team never quit. It was true ... until it wasn't.

Hamilton, unfortunately, also personifies the buffoonery of the post-Going to Work Pistons. The ones who walked out on coach John Kuester, who complained publicly and privately while happily cashing checks. Who forced a buyout from the Pistons before fading away during two forgettable years in Chicago. It all goes into the calculus into what Hamilton means to Detroit.

Perhaps, however, it's also important to think about Hamilton and his place as perhaps the last of an old-guard of players. Before an analytics revolution led NBA offenses to load up on a pace-and-space style that priortized shots at the rim and beyond the arc, there was Hamilton.

Always moving. Down sreens, back screens, cross screens, curl screens. double screens. Hamilton used them all, and at the end he would since a 16-foot jumper and run full-speed down to the other end. For 48 minutes every night.

Not sexy, but it worked. Yessir.

Keep shooting the rock, KCP!

We witnessed a good chunk of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's fourth quarter (and beyond) magnificence in the win over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday evening from Mophatt1's (always) timely Pistons High / Low post.

How about we take a closer look at some of KCP's opportunities and sit back and bask in his performance.

***

You could say this attempt is a tad wild and deep, yet KCP is quite familiar and comfortable with this kind of shot. For a shooter there's nothing better than feeling confident, waltzing up to the 3-point line and letting a shot fly. KCP was feeling confident indeed — and Jeremy Lamb picked him up late to boot. KCP took advantage. Though he would go on to miss five straight shots from the field before connecting on another one (shot 11/25 for the game, drained seven triples).

For those who have played competitive basketball at any level (pickup in the park / rec ball, it all counts), there are times when you really want to shoot it but know that you shouldn't — either because it's not going to be regarded as a good shot and you will be chewed out by a coach, maybe it's just not your usual sweet spot on the court, or it's not really within your range. Then there is the "heat check," and you're letting it fly from anywhere no matter what.

KCP was struggling in the third quarter shooting the ball, and he knew it. Thus, it seemed that he wasn't too content on shooting this one with most of the Charlotte defense already back. He let a shot fly anyway despite a screen that had been set for him by Baynes. I'd call this display a semi-hesitant attempt from KCP. Or in other words, it's a "proof of concept heat check" (although the two-for-one possibility may have been what KCP was thinking since the quarter was coming to a close). However, shooters need to keep shooting and KCP often does (and should).

Detroit was making their run and while the opportunity wasn't super wide open, it nonetheless was in rhythm and it's a shot KCP can hit. Can't find too much wrong with this shot — maybe just that there really wasn't anyone there to hit the glass. KCP went on to make 6-of-7 from the field to finish the game.

Not a thrilling effort on defense by Nic Batum, but let's bask in the poetry that is KCP's ability to rise up for a shot in very limited space and knock it down at a pretty decent clip. And behold that KCP body English too.

Once KCP got the ball you knew he was going to shoot it. Big time shot. I imagine that it's easy to normally get around the fairly slow-footed Kaminsky on the perimeter (but who am I to judge, as I sit here stuffing my face with an ice cream bar), yet after that with the way the Hornets defense was situated the only legit option left was a mid-range jumper. No biggie. The shot was in rhythm and KCP was on a roll (literally too) anyway. Also, props to Ish Smith for quickly getting the ball up ahead to the hot player and props to Tobias Harris for working his butt off to get prime position for a potential rebound.

Men lie Women lie FILM DNT

We're back! I missed you guys - well, most of you.

The Pistons staged another fourth quarter comeback to top the Charlotte Hornets 114-108. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's scored 11 straight Pistons' points late in the fourth to force overtime.

To the tape!

High

The Pistons' comeback was topped off by KCP, but without the services of bench-mates Ish Smith and Tobias Harris, there is no comeback and there is certainly no Pistons win.

Ish Smith

Going 2-12 from the field would suggest a rough night for Smith, but that doesn't take into account how the rest of the offense flowed when he was on the court. Ish handed out 16 assists, committed only one turnover and finished the fourth quarter and overtime in place of Reggie Jackson.

Smith and Harris continue to be on the same page:

If you know that your point guard is going to find you, it makes it that much easier to run/cut aggressively:

Ish creating space to hit a big fourth-quarter shot:

What's a High/Low without an Ish block?

Like all good shot blockers, he keeps the ball in play.

Smith finished the night with a plus/minus of +20. Jackson logged a -14.

****

Tobias Harris

Harris did most of his damage keeping the Pistons close in the 2nd quarter:

And in the 4th:

Harris continues to be the model of consistency, finishing with 25 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

****

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

KCP finished with a Pistons' high 33 points, including seven of 15 beyond the long line. In a back-and-forth duel with Kemba Walker late in the fourth, Caldwell-Pope wouldn't let the Pistons go down quietly:

The overtime period saw more of the same:

I - being of sound basketball mind and body - do not condone this shot:

But I love the result.

****

Any time a defense overloads the strong side, a skip pass is always in play:

Leuer makes Batum pay for the post help on Andre Drummond.

****

Below, Stanley Johnson takes away the roll and finishes on the other end:

Low

Kemba Walker is good enough, he doesn't need a Detroit on Detroit crime:

(Editor's Note: As soon as I saw this play, I knew it was going in the High/Low. The Charlotte brodcast was SCREAMING over it.)

All in all, it's a pretty good Drummond screen. He wipes out the defending Ish Smith and clears the path for Walker's easy two.

It's only funny because we won.

****

Reggie Jackson didn't stand a chance:

****

Walker is handful in the pick and roll. Jeremy Lamb shouldn't be:

A nice little Thursday stroll into the lane saw Lamb find Walker for the open three.

****

Leuer, Jackson and Drummond all need to communicate a tad better:

****

Morris and/or Jackson has got to take the roll away:

****

One down, 24 to go in the playoff push.

Let's not make an Orlando-style move...

The trade deadline is an angst-ridden time for most Pistons fans, and if we have learned anything over the past couple months following the team, the fans are not alone. Nearly every significant Piston has been in trade talks, and the uncertainty about the future of the roster has hovered over nearly every press conference and practice.

Despite this, the Pistons chose to make no moves at the trade deadline, opting to ride out the rest of the season with the same roster they have carried all year. While this is not the most exciting path, it's the right one for this team for a few reasons:

No urgency on the cost concerns

I normally don't sympathize with a multi-billionaire like Pistons owner Tom Gores, especially with regards to a basketball team that is basically a side project for him - a team he could sell at any point for a price tens of millions of dollars higher than what he initially paid to become the majority owner.

That said, I think Gores is right to balk at paying the luxury tax for this current roster after Kentavious Caldwell Pope's deserved extension. After last season, there was hope this core could contend for a conference finals in a few years. While that hope is not gone, it is diminished significantly by disappointing seasons from ostensible cornerstones Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond. Combine that with the tax becoming more and more of a reality as time goes by, and it makes sense that the Pistons explored unloading salary.

But that also does not mean the Pistons had to make a cost-cutting move if there was not one that made sense for them. Even if they are over the tax at the beginning of next season, they would have until next year's trade deadline to get back under it. If other teams strike out in free agency and the Pistons feel uncomfortable with their payroll, that would be a chance to unload salary if it ended up being a priority. The Pistons can feel good about how low the price has been to unload salary for teams like the Bucks with Miles Plumlee and the Rockets with Corey Brewer.

They run some risk that 2018 free agency will be another bonanza, and teams won't have the cap space to take one of their players, but if things trend in that direction, Detroit can just make a push to offload salary after a few major dominoes fall the first week of free agency.

As far as the most likely candidates to be dumped, one of Boban Marjanovic, Jon Leuer or Tobias Harris would seem to be the most logical. Marjanovic will almost certainly be shipped away if the Pistons decide to bring back Aron Baynes, although if the team is paying Baynes' new contract the effect on the overall cap situation will likely be negligible. Leuer and Harris are good players that the team undoubtedly wants to keep on board, but they are not absolutely essential to the Pistons' long-term outlook, they could fetch assets in return unlike other salary-dump possibilities, and the Pistons theoretically have younger, cheaper players in-house to replace them in Stanley Johnson and Henry Ellenson.

Essentially, the Pistons have every right to be worried about the tax, but it should not have forced them to sell low on any of their players when time is still on their side.

The straw that stirs the drink

Most Pistons fans would rather just dump Reggie Jackson than those other names I mentioned, and I definitely understand why someone would feel that way. Previously the most important player on the team, Jackson now has sunk down to the worst net rating on the team, and just has not looked like the player who keyed Detroit's playoff run last year. The team has struggled since his return, and Stan Van Gundy even directly admitted as much in a high-profile piece by ESPN's Zach Lowe.

My issue with moving on from Jackson is this: As bad as Jackson has been, the Pistons are not going anywhere without him unless they can get some kind of answer at point guard in return (or in a different deal). It is possible the Pistons would be a slightly better team this year if they moved on from Jackson, but unless an actually good point guard (also know as "not D.J. Augustin") is attached the Pistons will either have to go shopping for a new one with the mid-level exception or hand the starting job to Ish Smith.

Neither of those options sound promising in the long-term. Nothing sounds any more appealing than just seeing if Jackson can get healthy and get back to the player he was last season in 2017-18. Chasing a few more wins this year is just not worth emptying yourself of all potential at point guard for a team that will be operating over the cap.

Secondarily, Jackson's trade value itself is at an all-time low. The reason Pistons fans want to trade him is the same reason most other teams have little interest in acquiring him. Trading away your players at low points in their value is not the way to build a winning team. The Pistons correctly identified that the offers out there for Jackson just were not enough, and I doubt their asking price was even that ridiculous.

Start with the man in the middle

Andre Drummond, the Pistons' other big name in trade talks, is arguably the more interesting case. We cannot forget that Drummond is just 23; He'd be a rookie if he had played four years in college. It's silly to act like he can't get any better, but at the same time I do wonder what room there really is for a significant breakthrough to All-NBA team levels. Drummond just does not have anywhere near the touch needed to be a good post-up player or shoot from outside three feet, and what potential he has as a post-up player is limited even further by his tendency to shy from contact, thanks to his awful free-throw shooting.

That leaves the pick-and-roll game for Drummond to flourish offensively, and I do think there is a lot of hope on that front. This has been something of a lost season for him as a roll man thanks to Jackson's poor play, and rejuvenation from his PNR partner would help not only his efficiency, but his offensive rebounding, which has slipped this season.

Defensively, Drummond has also been a disappointment, as he has rated worse than backup Aron Baynes, who has far inferior physical gifts. He is big and explosive with a lot of lateral mobility and can be disruptive at points, but it is difficult to point out areas where Drummond has made significant strides since his first season on defense. He struggles with rotation concepts and quick decision-making, and his effort waxes and wanes. Again, it is silly to act like Drummond cannot improve defensively at his age with his ability, but it is optimistic to project him as even a good defender until signs of improvement are clearer.

Now making an average of around $27 million a season for at least the next three seasons, Drummond's contract is not bad but no longer provides much, if any, surplus value. It will be difficult for the Pistons to get an awesome return in a Drummond trade, as there are few center-needy teams in the league and Boston (a win-now team looking to upgrade at center) doesn't look to be surrendering either of their Brooklyn picks - their best assets.

I am still not sure what the long game is with Drummond for Detroit, but the Pistons should not be in any hurry to move on from him. They bump up against a similar problem with Andre as they do with Reggie Jackson – it just does not make sense to move on at this point in time with Drummond's value at a relative nadir.

Even if they decide internally that they want to cut bait, it makes much more sense to first see if he can ramp up his pick-and-roll offense with either a healthy Jackson or an addition at point guard. A player of Drummond's age, track record and tools is not going to see his trade value significantly drop in the next season or two, especially since it is difficult to envision the trade market for centers being any worse than it is now.

The Van Bower difference

The bottom line is, Pistons fans have every right to be anxious about their core and explore options to change it, but this was just the wrong time to do so. The front office seemed willing to shake things up - as they have since they took over - so the lack of player movement is a likely indication that the offers were not very good.

Stan Van Gundy and Jeff Bower built this team to compete over the long term, and while this season has been bumpy and has cast doubt on the team's ability to be a conference finals contender down the road, it does not appear there were any trade deadline moves that changed that outlook. My bet is the team will be glad they did not make a rash decision. After all, a big reason they ever had a promising roster to begin with was capitalizing on other teams' angst. The Pistons are not stable right now, but with the available options the best move is to give this core at least until next trade deadline before a major shake-up.

The Pistons schedule favors a late playoff push

At 28-30, the Pistons are in the No. 8 seed in the Eastern conference, only half a game back of the No. 7 Bulls and a game and a half back of the No. 6 Pacers.... but only a game and a half ahead of the Bucks and two and a half games ahead of the Heat. It's a precarious position to say the least, but one they've put themselves in through inconsistent play and some untimely injuries.

So what do they have to do to hold fast to this position? What do the Pistons have to do to make the playoffs? Let's break it down.

FiveThirtyEight currently has the Pistons making the playoffs, as the No.8 seed, with 40 wins. That puts them in the same situation as last year (8 seed and a date with Cleveland), but with three fewer wins than last year and an under .500 finish - a step back, especially considering where expectations were to start the season.

Detroit has 25 games remaining: 14 home dates and 11 road games. Schedule looks like this:

Pistons remaining schedule

To win 39 games - the projected bare minimum to make the playoffs, according to people much smarter than I - they'd have to go 12-13 post-All-Star Break, which isn't too far off the pace they've set for themselves to date this season. To get to 41 wins, respectability (who takes an under-.500 playoff team seriously? Nobody), and maybe a non-Cleveland playoff matchup, the Pistons would have to go 14-11.

Yes, this means if they won all their home games and lost all their road games, they'd make it to .500. I think that's funny and highly improbable too. But the question is can Detroit cobble fourteen wins out of the remaining schedule?

The answer is a SOLID maybe. Let's put in some common-sense stipulations for how we should project whether or not the Pistons should win a game:

The Pistons should beat teams out of the playoff race (the 12-15 seeds), regardless if they're at home or on the road.

Games against teams in the 6-11 seeds are coinflips - could go either way depending on a variety of factors (home vs. road, who's on a back-to-back, how much effort Andre deems worthy on a given night - the usual stuff).

The Pistons should lose to teams in the 1-5 seeds. They've established throughout the course of the season that they DO lose to those teams, so let's not kid ourselves. (Fun fact: Detroit's last non-buzzer beater win against a team over .500? Jan. 18th against Atlanta. Over a month ago. Yay.)

With those rules in place, what does the schedule hold?

Wins (Green): @PHI, NYC, PHI, @BKLYN, @ORL, @NYC, BKLN, @ORL (8)

Coin Toss (Yellow): CHA, POR, @NO, CHI, @IND, @ CHI, MIA, @MIL, @ MEM, WAS (10)

(Yes, a road game against Memphis and Washington are coinflips, give it a second)

Loss (Red): BOS, CLE, @ CLE, UTAH, TOR, TOR, @HOU (7)

You're right, that's kinda messy and very text-heavy. Pretty picture time:

(It's dubious how much Memphis and Washington will be playing for that late in the season; it's easier to call those games coinflips.)

Looking at the schedule, March has a LOT of games (17 of the remaining 25 games). But there's not a lot of red at the end of the month. There's a big opportunity for the Pistons to do the same thing they did last year - get hot and play their way into the playoffs.

There's also the very real possibility they lose most of their coinflip games at the end of this month and the beginning of March, and dig themselves a hole too deep to escape from.

Again, Detroit only ("only") needs 14 wins to get to 41. With eight "wins", that means the Pistons would only need to go 6-4 in the coinflip games to make the playoffs. If you want to take FiveThirtyEight's more generous offer of 39 wins for the playoffs, the Pistons could as few as four coinflip games and still sneak into the playoffs. And if you sneak a home win against Boston or Toronto - a game you're supposed to lose - the picture gets even brighter.

If the Pistons can maintain the level of play they've shown since the beginning of February, they can definitely make the playoffs - with or without a move at the trade deadline. The bench, particularly Ish Smith, have played really well this month. Detroit starts the second half of the season with three straight home games. The teams below them in the standings either have injury issues (Milwaukee/Charlotte) or were never supposed to be in this position in the first place (Miami).

Winning their first coinflip game last night against Charlotte was a step in the right direction, playoff-wise, but fans can't let the the euphoria of the win mask the overall inconsistent play from the team. The Pistons have the talent, the coaching, and the experience of chasing the playoffs from last year to build upon. But there's little room for error: There's no nine-game homestand for them to play through like last year.

If Detroit misses the playoffs, it won't be because they had a huge road trip to the west coast or because the schedule suddenly got tough on them. It'll be because they didn't play well enough during a relatively easy portion of the schedule.

The Pistons should make the playoffs. Whether or not they will is entirely up to them.

A monster fourth quarter and overtime performance leads the Pistons to a comeback victory over the Hornets.

Full disclosure: the Pistons were down 13 in the fourth quarter when I left my house to take my dog for a walk. I figured I was safe.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had other plans for the Pistons tonight, erasing what was at one point an 18 point deficit in the third quarter. Over the last two minutes and change in the fourth quarter, KCP went unconscious to score 11 straight Piston points and will the game to overtime.

True story: I had tickets to this game. I passed on them at lunch because 1) home life and 2) I was terrified of going to a trade deadline dismantled Pistons game. I am an idiot.

Outside of KCP, Ish Smith played spectacular down the stretch, dropping beautiful dime after dime throughout the 4th quarter. He finished with 16 assists (!!!) and closed the game down while Reggie Jackson watched from the bench (*insert thinking face emoji*).

Oh wait, here's some more fuel for this fire.

Reggie Jackson is a minus-14 in 20 minutes tonight. Ish Smith is a plus-22 in 32 minutes.
— Dave Hogg (@Stareagle) February 24, 2017

The Pistons defense was spectacular throughout the fourth. These closeouts had me on the verge of tears. Marcus Morris poured in a crucial seven points in overtime to seal the victory against what had become a stagnant Charlotte Hornets offense. Tobias had a ho-hum 25 point night to help matters as well. Interesting to see was the lineup closing the game: Ish Smith, KCP, Tobias, Marcus Morris, and Leuer at the five. I like it.

The Pistons are off till Rip Hamilton night on Sunday. Until then, to the victor goes the spoils, and the comments.

Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will remain in Detroit for the rest of the season

After each of the first two trade deadlines under Stan Van Gundy and Jeff Bower ended with a whirlwind of activity (some even lasting after the deadline passed), today's was anti-climatic.

Rumors have been circulating for days, suggesting the Pistons were aggressively trying to trade Reggie Jackson and fielding offers on Andre Drummond and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Van Gundy played down the likelihood of the Pistons making a move at the deadline, though he has done so each of the past two years as well. But turns out that it was the case this year.

SVG said, "Yeah, we talk about a lot of our players, but we place a high value on our guys. We have. And that's why we probably will not be able to desperately blow it up here at the deadline. You can blow it up if you want, and just get rid of guys, but that has not been what we've been trying to do at all."

Makes sense.

But what is unusual is the names that we've seen pop up from the Pistons this trade deadline. Jackson, Drummond, and KCP essentially make up the core for the Pistons. They've started every game they've played under SVG and we've not really seen any real trade speculation for them before the trade deadline approached.

Maybe it was all bullshit, blown out of proportion thanks to NBA Twitter. But if not? It could be the launching point for the Pistons offseason.

Without improved play defensively from Jackson and Drummond after the All Star break, these trade rumbles could get louder for the two players.

Caldwell-Pope has struggled since his return from a shoulder injury over the past month. He looked like a potential max contract player in his 40 games before the injury. It could be that the front office is having difficulty reconciling the dollar amount they're willing to pay KCP, opening up the possibility of a sign and trade.

Of course, all of this could go for naught if the Pistons play well in the final 24 games. They're currently in playoff position, sitting at the eight seed in the Eastern Conference, and the two teams sitting in the seeding immediately above them also looked in limbo at the deadline. Even if the team's record doesn't improve over last year, they could stand to improve their playoff seeding.

Ultimately, it ended up as an uninteresting trade deadline. But it does set the scene for an interesting final stretch for the season.

Pistons' playoff destiny is in their own hands, and a win against Charlotte is a step in the right direction.

The Pistons avoided disaster the last time these two met in early January:

Marco Belinelli's game winner was waived off as time expired and the Pistons escaped with a 115-114 win.

The meeting also gave Pistons fans a true introduction to Boban Marjanovic.

Game Vitals

When: February 23rd at 7:30 p.m.

Watch: Fox Sports Detroit

****

The Pistons are 2-1 against Charlotte this season and DBB discussed the Hornets here, here and here (tl;dr: Kemba Walker is good).

At 24-32, Charlotte finds themselves 2.5 games behind Detroit for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The All-Star break couldn't have come at a better time for the Hornets, who were losers of four straight and 1-11 in their past twelve games.

Ouch.

Not sure if Frank Kaminsky's look from All-Star Weekend will help or hurt the Hornets moving forward:

Look I was goin for... pic.twitter.com/StG0nGcvx0
— Frank Kaminsky III (@FSKPart3) February 19, 2017

I like Frank, so let's error on the side of his outfit improving their team.

****

Cody Zeller participated in only two of those 12 ugly games thanks to a quadriceps injury and is still iffy to join the <s>Hornets</s> <s>Bobcats</s> Hornets tonight.

While his replacement in the starting lineup — Frank the Tank — has played admirably in the absence of Zeller, there is a clear downgrade on the defensive end without Zeller available.

Per Synergy, when Zeller is the defending big in a pick and roll, the opposing team's ball handler PPP is at .736; this ranks 4th in the league of all bigs (minimum 200 possessions).

Obviously, this matters because of Detroit's high use of the standard pick and roll.

On the complete opposite end of the defensive spectrum, we have the Pistons' Andre Drummond. Using the same scenario, Drummond checks in at 57 (out of a possible 62 qualifying bigs) with the opponents ball handler scoring .95 PPP.

Obviously, this matters because of Charlotte's high use of the standard pick and roll.

Defense can't be measured in a singular statistic as there are many — literally — moving parts, but in this case, the numbers match the eye test.

It's a plus for Detroit if Zeller can't go tonight, but don't sleep on Kaminsky — especially on the offensive end.

New from the Centre for Implosion Research, the Vortex Energiser. The Original Vortex Water Energiser™, when attached to the domestic water inlet pipe, energises all the water in the house – instantly and constantly. There are no further maintenance requirements.
Today the Austrian forester Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) is considered to be a pioneer of modern water research and the holistic observation of Nature. As early as the first half of the 20th century he warned of the consequences of environmental exploitation. He proposed a radical new way of looking at Nature, Science and Engineering and developed totally new concepts of energy production, in harmony with Nature. Schauberger's maxim was: Understand and Copy Nature. His inventions include devices for refined drinking water, spiral pipes for carrying water with reduced friction, environmentally friendly river regulation, as well as power generation from water and air using the principle of implosion.

By Congressman Roger F. Wicker
March 28, 2005
There are better ways to protect the environment, Congressman says
An international climate agreement aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants went into effect last month. The Kyoto Treaty was ratified by 141 countries-but the U.S was not among them. President Bush was correct to reject this ill-advised pact because of the devastating effect it could have on the U.S. economy.
The treaty, named for the Japanese city where it was created, would impose mandatory restrictions on automobile and manufacturing plant emissions that its proponents say are contributing to global warming. The list of treaty signatories includes 35 industrialized nations, which would be bound by strict limits. Other treaty participants-including countries with whom we compete for jobs such as India and China-are classified as developing countries and would be exempt from the same limitations.
The agreement would have forced the U.S. to reduce emissions to a point below levels recorded in 1990. The White House estimated that such action might result in a loss of almost five million American jobs and a $400 billion jolt to our economy. The Bush Administration also correctly points out that the treaty is ineffective and discriminatory because so many rapidly developing countries would not be bound by the same limits.
The President has noted that the U.S. is spending more than $5.8 billion this year on research, new technology, and tax incentives to reduce air pollutants. The measures are aimed at improving energy security without hurting economic growth and job creation opportunities.
There is still disagreement among many scientists about the harm these gases might produce in the atmosphere. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said, "We are still learning about the science of climate change. In the meantime, we have made an unprecedented commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a way that continues to grow the economy."
The Wall Street Journal echoed questions about the science and added its criticism of the Kyoto Treaty in a recent editorial: "The world is being lobbied to place a huge economic bet - as much as $150 billion a year - on the notion that man-made global warming is real. Businesses are gearing up, at considerable cost, to deal with a new regulatory environment...Shouldn't everyone look very carefully, and honestly, at the science before we jump off this particular cliff."
From ratification to enactment, the treaty took more than seven years. It was the subject of much discussion during that time, but neither President Clinton or President Bush ever asked the U.S. Senate to consider ratification. The Senate took a non-binding vote in 1997 and sent a clear message of disapproval. The vote was 95-0.
Rejection of the Kyoto Treaty is not a signal of indifference from the U.S. government on the issue of improving the environment. Congress and the President are pressing ahead on initiatives to promote hydrogen-powered vehicles, boost renewable energy sources, and produce more efficient clean coal technology. President Bush reiterated that commitment on his recent trip to Europe. In meetings with European Union members, he pointed out that our focus on developing new technologies would fight pollution and improve living standards for people around the world.

This post is a part of the Starting Solids series. The Starting Solids series is a five post series on what to feed your baby when you start solids and when to start that process. Be sure to check out the other posts in the series!
First off let's start off with the fact that health experts recommend all babies be exclusively breastfeed (that means no cereal, juice, etc) for the first 6 months. Oddly this isn't what many doctor's are telling their patients. Many doctors still give the 4-6 month guideline despite the fact that the World Health Organization, American Academy of Pediatrics, and UNICEF all recommend not starting solids until 6 months. Why doctors can't listen to health experts is beyond me, they really should keep up to date with the rest of the medical world's views.

It hurts so deeply, My heart feels shattered,
I want to be there , to my love it dont matter.
They always get their way, I wished she could see,
Its them being judgemental , She claims its me.
I thought when your as one, You stand firm by their side,
Not this relationship, Oh what a surprise.
The feeling of poison, run through my veins.
The feeling I feel is nothing but pain.

Wednesday 4 October 2006
Rockstar claims that Vice City Stories is twice the size of Liberty City Stories. But, as we all know, it's not size that counts. It's how many car-jackings, helicopter chases, gang wars and insane stunts you can squeeze into Sony's gleaming PSP that matters.
And after our first hands on with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it's clear that things have moved up a notch since Liberty City's crime wave.
As US Army soldier Vic Vance you're lured into a world of crime by your powder-snorting brother, Lance Vance, the treacherous co-star of PS2's Vice City. GTA fans can welcome back an assortment of returning characters, including cahones-obsessive Umberto Rebina, but there are more than enough new faces to prevent the familiarity becoming tiresome.
The stubborn on-foot controls from Liberty City Stories are untouched. But developer Rockstar has tweaked VCS's missions to be longer, more varied and more exciting, and you'll now spend less time desperately clawing at your PSP to avoid getting gunned down and more time tearing around in the game's fantastic selection of vehicles.
Remember, GTA was never meant to be a shooter - it's better to scope your surroundings, sprint for cover, arrange the camera and take out nearby enemies than to charge in, blasting away mindlessly. Unless you take your time it'll be curtains, quick. Keep your head and you'll be rewarded - we sweated through a mission that began with a nail-biting shootout but finished with a glorious quad-bike chase across the sunny beach.

Everything we ordered was terrific. The spicy was spicy and the "doux" was flavorful.
The cheese Nan was a big hit. We were four with 4 mains and 2 sides no drinks and spent 65 euros. The service was extra special and the place was packed.
We had occasion to try out a few Indian places in Toulouse during our trip there for 5 days. We found Le Maharaja to be the pick of the lot. The food was solidly good - you get all the standard, and well deservedly standard on menus worldwide, Indian items. We could customize it to our infant's taste preferences. We...
Top meal, no ppd's? Kingfisher decent. See you about 23:30. Discount?.. Cheers Joe. You were missed.
Average Indian food. But according to me the service makes all the difference. We never felt welcomed. The main course arrived even before we finished the starter. This is not acceptable. We didnt want to send the food back. Rice was not even luke warm!
The waiter was busy looking outside without even registering that the customer is calling him...
Slightly underwhelming interior so we weren't expecting much. The waiting staff were really friendly and we ordered prawn puris to start. These were fresh and delicious. For main course we had a mixture of madras and what we thought was a jalfrezi. The prawn madras was very tasty indeed. The hotter dish...zalpezi...? was blistering hot and very tasty. The rice...
Because I had wanted to try ramen while in France, my husband decided to try Indian. Service was great and they were very kind about accommodating for my nut allergy. Unfortunately the food wasn't super great. We had butter chicken, tandoori chicken - the butter chicken sauce was very sweet and missed some of the flavour were used to. Generally...
Not a good start to be served prawn crackers as "poppadoms" - maybe they had run out of the genuine article and thought no-one would notice. That said, the food that i ordered was well flavoured and pretty good although very mild. Prices were reasonable.
For me it was an excellent experience. The nan was very good. I had a combination of dahl, bagi, fish (fried) and shrimp curry - all was quite good. The staff was very polite and responsive. Cheers!
Nan bread is usually a good thermometer. It was no nice, cold and really dry. May not have been freshed either. I have to say it was a sunday. But no excuse.
My veggy thali was basic and served on some aluminium plate like a kid canteen plate. But wifey, a curry expert and kids seemed to be enjoying their...
Feel like a quick trip to India? Need a real picker-upper as the weather gets colder? The atmosphere here is authentic, and the service is so charming and personal, I just can't stay away. I'm a vegetarian, and their vegetable offerings are a wonderful change from French food. I'm addicted to their Chana Curry (chick peas) with nan. This with...

The broad temporal relocation does not seem to me to run directly counter to the meaning of the play as it did in Lloyd's recent dystopian Threepenny Opera, where the replacement of petit bourgeois snobbery and violence by Crimewatch 2000 in-yer-face yobbery and violence destroyed Brecht's point that the values of criminals are interchangeable with those of the middle classes. Here, the updating simply fails to justify itself by throwing a new light on the sexual politics of the piece, while Lloyd's efforts to clarify and whip up interest in the narrative element (showing us various offstage marriages and arrests to joky-urgent incidental music) are almost touching, given the stubborn way Congreve's plot continues to make three- dimensional chess seem like a game of snap.
The cast is a decidedly mixed blessing. Mirabell is supposed to have reformed after an intriguing rakish past, but Roger Allam plays him as though he'd just emerged from a stint as a more than usually stodgy and sententious vicar. Millamant's prevarication over committing herself, conveyed with a delightfully self-parodic capriciousness in Fiona Shaw's performance, becomes all too understandable. In the famous scene where they make their detailed marriage contract, the two of them seem to be in separate plays. Shaw's intensity as she shudders at the thought of children or "dwindles" to the ground as a neat pile of mockingly prostrate obedience at Allam's feet seems to push the piece, at moments, beyond comedy into almost proto-Ibsenite territory. It's about time she gave us Beatrice.
Excellent in a less controversial manner are Sian Thomas's splendid Marwood, a stylishly villainous bird of prey and Geraldine McEwan's sublimely funny Lady Wishfort. Decked out in a puffball riot-of-roses minidress, this scrawny, superannuated crone is given to hilarious little girlish gambols across the stage and tossings of the head. The joke is that she seems to be quite taken in by this show of bemused innocence herself. There's no mistaking the raddled horniness, though, when, as she reassures Sir Rowland that there is not the "least scruple of carnality" in her designs, her normal egad-style bray swoops down to a throbbingly concupiscent contralto. Watching her practise alluring ways of rising in confusion from a couch, you realise just how gracefully Nancy Reagan and Barbara Cartland have consented to grow old. Wishfort here winds up a tipsy wreck, left out among the binbags: where McEwan should end up is on the short list for an award.

Like Zoltan's Alice, the love of his life is actually made of latex, sensors, and pseudo-artificial intelligence software. Unlike Alice, however, she actually is sexy. A plastic woman, but a woman. Aiko is her name and, according to the 33-yo Le Trung, it costed him almost $21,000 so far. The son of Zoltan, however, is not in this for the sex. He just wants the perfect companion, one that is available 24/7 and never complains.

She is very patient and never complains.Besting Zoltan crude blow-up doll, however, Aiko has touch sensors on her face and body, so she can react if touched: "Like a real female she will react to being touched in certain ways. If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you. She has all senses except for smell."He also says that "her software could be redesigned to simulate her having an orgasm and reacting to touch as if she is playing hard to get or being straight to the point." To add to the realism of having a real woman in his life, Le Trung has maxed out all this credit cards, taking loans, and even sold his car for her. Sponsored I'll say no more.

Back stitch is often used along side cross stitch to define a clean neat line in a design. It is classified as a linear stitch because you can create lines with it! Back stitch is an old adaptable stitch which can be used as a delicate outline or as a foundation in composite stitches, such as Pekinese stitch. It is also a great stitch to whip or thread with a heavier yarn. You can add beads to it too!
If you want to work blackwork patterns using hand dyed or variegated threads use back stitch. Many blackwork patterns can be very effective worked this way and the changing colours add a contemporary touch to a traditional style of hand embroidery.
This is a stitch that is considered a basic stitch as it is always introduced to beginners, but I feel people underestimate its versatility which ensures its timeless appeal to generations of stitchers. For instance in this sample (click to see a larger version) I have used back stitch to define the lines of the sand. Set against the highly textured embroidery the simple 'basic' stitch creates the contrast I wanted.
If needed, mark your line with a quilters pencil or soluble pen or pencil. Bring the thread up from the back of the fabric on the line that you want to create. Make a small backward stitch through the fabric.
Bring the needle through the fabric a little in front of the first stitch and still on the line. Pull the thread through the fabric.
Make the second stitch backward,inserting the needle down into the hole made by the first stitch and bringing the needle out a little in front of the second stitch but still on the line. Repeat this movement and continue sewing in such a manner along the line.
Back stitch is also known as point de sable

This review is from: Cooler Master Eisberg 120L Prestige – High Performance Push-Pull CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Copper Radiator
Pros: Was great for the time I had it worked really well. A bit noisy but i like to know things are working so I liked the noise. Knew exactly when the pump went out just because of the noise.
Cons: Finally crapped out after 2 years almost to the week. Would buy another one but after the pump went and no way to fix I think I'll go to another product.
Other Thoughts: Not sure if i had to get another mounting bracket to fit my board but I might have.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GeForce GTX 680 DirectX 11.1 GV-N680SO-2GD 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: Have not found anything it can't handle yet. Fans run quiet no whine at all plus no heat issues.
The card is heavy and takes up 3 slots but it's stiff enough not to sag or bend.
Cons: None! It's big but it's powerful.
Other Thoughts: This card rocks no complaints what so ever. Just use 3 screws to mount to the frame and you won't have any problems.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) DirectX 11 N560GTX-Ti 448 Twin Frozr III PE/OC 1280MB 320-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: none
Cons: Worked for 4 days then the one card went and 2 days latter second card went.
Other Thoughts: Called MSI and they told me i must have gotten a bad batch of cards.
Way to go MSI great quality control
Newegg customer service was great in helping me with my returns lets hope the next 2 cards are not from the same broken batch.
