Here is from our beginner file.
Switching to a Raw Diet
Basically the hardest thing to grasp is yes, you just go out, buy some meat, and throw it to your dog. It's okay - just do it. There is a method to the madness, but it's simple. There are things to stay away from, such as weight-bearing bones (soup bones, femurs, marrow bones - may break teeth), meat from other carnivores (such as racoons)... but for the most part - chicken, salmon, beef, pork, duck, pheasant, venison, sardines, goat, alpaca... feed what you find cheap! At the very beginning, you will only be feeding one protein and slowly introducing other proteins and organs. Once your dog is used to raw, variety will be important.
To begin, just feed chicken. Make sure the chicken isn't enhanced by checking the sodium level - no more than 100mg per serving some dogs can't handle any -know thy dog. A little more bone than usual will help with making poop firm, since changing foods usually softens that up a bit. You also want to switch cold turkey - Raw digests differently than kibble and feeding both at the same time could make for a confused digestive system.
After you've just given chicken for a couple weeks no problem, introduce something else. Pork or beef is a good second protein that most everyone can find cheap, but if you have more access to something else (rabbit, venison, horse, whatever), then there is no reason not to introduce that instead. Repeat... after a couple weeks, introduce a different protein (pork, beef, venison, whatever). After that's been introduced for 2 weeks, add liver. Chicken liver is readily available. Introduce liver very slowly, as it is very rich and may cause diarrhea add more bone as needed to firm up stools and then slowly cut back.
The basic guideline is to feed 2-3% of the adult body weight, but it really depends on the dog; for instance, I have one dog eating 1.5% (Corgi) and another eating 4-4.5% (Doberman). I also don't even weigh anymore; I weighed the meat at the beginning, but now I know exactly how to eyeball how much everyone needs. Plus, not all my meals are the same size. For example, I found a cornish hen the other day for a good price, so I fed that to my Doberman one night (that's only about 1 pound) and fed almost 4 pounds of pork the next night.
A big rule of thumb is that raw feeding balances out throughout the week. The guideline to how much meat, organ and bone you're supposed to feed is 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ, but you're not going to be feeding bone and organ every day. So taking the same example into play again here, Jackson's cornish hen was a very high bone content meal. So the next night. he had a boneless meal of pork. He got another boneless meal the next day, and the day after that he got a bone-in meal with organs. It all balances itself out in a week-10 days.
I spend less than what I was paying for high end kibble (Orijen) and it is 110% worth it. But you can't just go to the store, buy some salmon for $7/lb and expect it to be cheaper than kibble. And for me personally, it did take a little getting used to finding the best deals, and locating the local Asian and Mexican markets that have good deals on meat. In hindsight, that's a good thing to do BEFORE you start feeding raw. Wal-Mart has good chicken prices (10lb bags of chicken quarters for less than 6 bucks), Kroger has good prices on whole chickens (0.75/lb), and I use the Asian market as well as texastripe.com for everything else. I don't pay over $3/lb for anything unless it's something special. Find your local ethnic markets, find some hunter friends, talk to butchers about scraps. It'll be cheaper than you'd think once you figure out where all the good deals are.
raw for a newbie
I was given a 6 month old male over the weekend. He has been on puppy chow and I want to get him off of it. I have a local Sam's club and Kroger to purchase from. Where do I start? Also read that cottage cheese and yogurt were good for them as well.
Kroger runs specials on leg quarters between .59 and .79 cents a pound. I can get beef and pork from Sam's at a decent price.
Also does being on a raw diet cut down on the dander? I have a son with asthma and don't want to get it flared up.

Norwich to take its tourism pitch on the road
Norwich — A converted American Ambulance is taking the message of the city's historic attractions on the road as a traveling tourism kiosk.
Outfitted with wireless access, iPhone compatibility and directions to the city's tourist attractions, the kiosk will be driven to state fairs in towns throughout northeastern Connecticut.
Ben Lathrop, president and executive director of The Greater Norwich Area Chamber of Commerce, announced the initiative Friday afternoon before city officials, chamber members and residents who helped make the conversion possible.
He said the traveling kiosk will "revolutionize tourism."
"Yes, Norwich, we're bringing tourism back," he said. "We're going to bring people in by going to them."
The traveling kiosk will offer directions to Dodd Stadium, Uncas Leap, Mohegan Sun casino, Norwich City Hall, the municipal Rose Garden and other sites.
Mayor Peter Nystrom said that Norwich, with 56 historic sites, is the most historic city in the state.
"We want people who haven't been to Norwich in a long time to come re-acquaint themselves with our great city," Nystrom said.
The traveling kiosk won't be ready until April or May, Lathrop said.
While Lathrop said he isn't sure where the kiosk's first stop will be, the city is in the process of applying for a space at the Big E.

I've got some fiberglass armor (I don't remember who I got it from, it was an eBay sale a long time back.
Anyways, after getting it attached to my vest and putting it on, it seems it's a little too "flat". It has some curve to it, but the ends seem to stick out a bit, which, to me, looks a little odd.
I'd like to put a little more curve in the pieces, so that they wrap around my chest more. I've read some people using blow a dryers to heat up their armor to reshape it, will this work with fiberglass? How easy is it to bend, and how likely is it just to return to the original shape?
Thanks for any input!

Formally established in 2006, the Pioneers Oral History Project at Texas Woman's University is dedicated to gathering the oral histories of women, particularly focusing on those who have been associated with the University or who have been "pioneers" in their own lives. The project is associated with the Department of History & Government's oral history courses and works with students to teach the theoretical and practical skills needed to conduct useful and scholarly oral histories. While static sources such as newspapers and other documents are valuable, oral histories serve as an important research tool for researchers who learn about the past directly from the people who lived through it.
Ongoing projects include the TWU Former Students Project and the TWU Current Students Project, which showcase interviews with former and current students of Texas Woman's University and Texas State College for Women. The program also features a collection on Pioneering Women Attorneys, which contains interviews with women who graduated from Texas law schools before the implementation of Title IX, federal legislation passed in 1972 that guarantees equal access in education regardless of gender. Planned future projects include interviews with TWU faculty and staff to help preserve the history of the University.
Interviews completed in the Pioneers Oral History Project are transcribed and then preserved in both multimedia and more traditional archive formats. All work within the Pioneers Oral History Project follows the highest standards of the Oral History Association, the national professional organization of oral history practitioners.

Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
Sealand Traveler all in one
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
Thank you for the advice, everyone. It seems that the general consensus is that the setup leaves something to be desired.
We don't have many options as far as placement of the holding tank (or increasing its size), but I think the suggestion that we really try to deal with this in the fall is spot-on given that the relatively short sailing season is almost upon us.
I think we're going to take it out for now (keeping the parts), put in a portapotty, and reevaluate in the fall if necessary. The idea of removing an unused system is much more appealing than using it this season, perhaps dealing with various problems, and then having to remove it once it's been "broken in", so to speak. We could just leave the whole thing alone and rely on water bottles and a bucket in an emergency, but while I have no problem with a Lady J, a bucket may be pushing it.
Thanks again.
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
Why not sea trial your system with a few gallons of fresh water ? Maybe it'll work just fine as a liquid waste disposal system.
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
Re-route the waste line up to a vented loop and then downhill to the holding tank. Consider the Lavac head to use little flushing water, given the very small tank.
I only repeat, since this was buried in a note that appears before the question was asked again.
If it can be done, I prefer a holding tank as one must use nuclear chemicals in a porta-potty that are ultimately dumped into the environment.
Good luck.
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
Two points to consider, one how will you use the boat? Day sails , with a couple of overnights? Staying at a marinas or on the hook? If your going to be sailing on the sound and will return home most days a portapot may work as well as a head with a small holding tank. If you install a portable , many have the option of a remote( deck pumpout). Don't know where you'll be keeping your boat , but
In the mystic river area where our boat is(noank) you can e-mail a pumpout request and don't have to be present and you'll get a confirmation email that it was completed( saves time). Second, I'm just finishing a complete overhaul of my "waste management system". I' m replacing all of it , head, holding tank,
Thruhulls, valves , hoses, right down to the hose clamps, and its not a cheap project! I'll be well over a thousand by the time all is done. So you might want to keep cost in perspective , not to mention that it will take longer than you think to yank it all out science out a new plan and install a new system, and the New England season is short so do what you have to , get it in the water , enjoy it then tear into it in the fall ( it'll get there faster than you think).
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
I chimed in on the last thread advocating keeping the head. But that was before I realized that it wasn't a well-designed system. I think I'd do more research into possible holding tank arrangements, especially close to the head itself (do you have room in a settee, or in the bilge? Could you put it immediately in front of the head, and build a false step over it as you enter the V-berth?). If nothing seems practical, then I agree with your original assessment of tearing everything out and going with a Port-a-Potty.
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
Don't you still need a loop that is above the waterline when the boat is heeled to keep the holding tank from emptying back out the head while heeled? yuck
I would not want to find my cabin sole covered with poop, would make for a miserable sail and I know who would get stuck with clean-up duties. The porta potty may be a simple $125 fix in the short run.
PS evaluated several recently, they have come a long way and they don't use as much water to flush.

Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
The problem is that the waste out hose from the head travels about thirteen feet through the bilge/ under the cabin floor, then has to gain about two and a half feet to get up to the holding tank that is attached on a bulkhead under the cockpit, past that bulkhead is the lazz locker that holds the outboard. The only place one could maybe move the holding tank to would eliminate all the storage for the galley/ nav table, and it would still be two feet above the waste hose where it exits the head. so I'm thinking that the current head system needs to be removed and a porta potty should be reinstalled.
I know that the head debate rouses many to levels of passion, but a quality new porta potty can be set up for dockside pump out that alone strikes me as reason enough to remove the old poorly laid out head system.
Is the current head system as described above a disappointment just waiting to happen or not? From what Slowbutsteady is saying I think its got to go.
What say you fellow sailers?
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
Can you put supports under the line so the waste doesn't have to defy gravity? Or perhaps suspend it from the underside of the floor/top of the bilge?
Re: Back for more - portapotty vs. manual head
SlowButSteady is right about the waste in the line and it will eventually permeate the hose. Even if the waste line does not defy gravity, it requires at least one full gallon of clean water to keep it clear of deposited particles. One way to fix this would be to get a new hose and route it from the head, straight up along side the hull to a point that is higher than the waterline when heeled, install a vented elbow to prevent a siphon and then route it any way from there to the holding tank without ever creating a low spot. The only part of the hose that would have standing water would be the piece from the head to the vent and that should have clear water, if you flush enough. You can probably get away with the hose you have routed up to this new vent and only buy the hose to get back down to the head.
The problem with a 6 gallon tank is it is legitimately about 5 to 6 flushes. They really need to be vented outside the boat, which requires a 1" hose, also run with an anti-siphon loop, to a thru hull above the water line at heel or through the deck. While not required, I would hope it has a way of emptying overboard, when allowable.
If you were willing to spend some money, the Lavac Head may be the answer for you, if it will fit. They work by hand pumping a vacuum that builds up and then shoots the contents of the bowl to the tank. You would probably still need to re-route the waste lines away from that dip, but they only use a few pints of water per use and your 6 gallon tank would last much, much longer.
Good luck. For me, any boat without an operating head can not be cruised and isn't even a day sailor, its a couple of hour sailor, maybe.......

There are about 20 million manholes in America, and all of them have essentially the same construction: a massive cone section rising up from the sewer. Until the late 1920s, these cones were made of bricks. In subsequent years, precast concrete arrived on the scene. Above the cone section is a short section called the "chimney," which is capped by an iron frame and cover.
The chimney is a tricky necessity. Each one must be custom-built to the right height and slope for its location so the cover and frame are flush with the road surface. And while each concrete chimney is unique, they all share one characteristic: they're a headache.
"The rings break, so you get silt, rocks, and stormwater flowing into the sewer," says Roger Glanzer, utilities supervisor for the Minneapolis suburb of Edina, which has a population of 47,000. "That means you're paying for treating water that doesn't need to be treated."
Further, the chimney continues to deteriorate over time. The deterioration, in turn, causes the roadway above to become prone to collapse, which leads to potholes around manholes. The whole process leads to a lot of labor-intensive, expensive road repairs.
There are three main causes of manhole chimney deterioration:
- Freeze-thaw cycle: This culprit is especially prevalent in the northern United States.
- Microbes: In sanitary sewers, they metabolize hydrogen sulfide gas, transforming it into sulfuric acid. The acid gradually turns the mortar between the rings to dust.
- Improper construction: Building a concrete chimney requires skill, but the job all too often goes to a worker with little or no masonry construction experience.
In the late 1990s, Glanzer decided to use rings made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), manufactured by Ladtech Inc. of Lino Lakes, Minn. He's happy to report he's had good results.
"We put some of them in areas where we periodically go back and look at them to see if there's any sign of infiltration or degradation," says Glanzer. "It's been about eight years, and we've had no problems. When sealed properly, they don't allow infiltration."
The rings are easier to handle because they're virtually unbreakable and weigh a fraction of their 85-pound concrete counterparts. In addition, the plastic rings can be installed more quickly because they interlock with each other and are self-aligning. Workers seal the rings together with a butyl rubber compound. Both HDPE and butyl rubber are highly resistant to acid.
"The only problem we've had was getting the engineering superintendent to change his specs," says Glanzer. "He didn't think the plastic would hold up, but it does, and the crews like working with them."
Glanzer has partnered with Lad-tech's distributor to train crews on the ins and outs of installing the rings. Overall, they've found the process to be fairly straightforward. Glanzer calculates that each installation (requiring a new cover and frame, and post-installation asphalt repair) costs about $700, which is paid for by sewer assessments.
It appears to be money well-spent.

The good news is that outfits like the Concord Coalition (www.concord coalition.org) and Fixthedebt.org -- the offshoot of the Simpson-Bowles debt-reduction commission -- are attracting a larger following among the public and business interests -- in part because of the grass-roots efforts of folks like Henderson and Burdick. ...
Sara Imhof, a onetime nurse and General Accounting Office analyst, worked with Burdick and Henderson as Midwest director of the coalition.
"The politics is still about bipartisan bickering." Imhof said. "Some Democrats say leave entitlements out of any bargain. Republicans say no more taxes. If politicians asked their constituents for shared sacrifice, I think the response would be good. We're encouraged by that."

Is there anything else to say? Let me know how you guys feel about glocks. :)
Printable View
Is there anything else to say? Let me know how you guys feel about glocks. :)
Very simple manual of arms, easy to care for and clean, most models are very accurate and will feed and shoot any ammo.
Just my opinions. :mrgreen:
So many people talk about how ugly the glock is. Since when did guns have anything to do with fashion statements. It's a tool! You don't buy a power drill because it looks nice. Reliability and quality over anything!
It's a brick, that feels like a brick with little to no ergonomics in comparison to other polymer pistol that has since the Glock's first appearance, given raise to a number of polymer pistols that doesn't feel like a BRICK!
Remember you ask. :smt075
I have two. The deciding factor for me was that it was a proven weapon (proven over many years and in lots of police departments).
There were other weapons that offered slight improvements over the Glock (thinner, lighter, smaller, more capacity, etc). But none of these improvements were substantial enough to dethrone the Glock.
On the down side, I think Glock should offer more single stack guns. I think a thinned single stack 9mm would sell well in the G26 sized weapon.
If anyone is curious go to the glock Wikipedia page and read the requirements the fire arm had to go through to be chosen. Quite rigorous. And as far as it being a brick? Maybe it's because I'm a bigger guy but most other guns are to small. I love everything about it. And your right about a skinnier 9mm. It can be annoying concealing a glock. But after all it was designed for the Austrian army not civilians.
No my next criteria is consumer reviews. Then price, then warranty options. And if the drills are really the same in every way, then those 2 companies are doing a crappy job on marketing and giving competitive pricing.
Tie six or more together, and they make great boat anchors......
glock has awesome marketing!
Glock has a solid reputation and is reliable, however; ergonomics and trigger suck for some of us, so it is not for everyone though its supporters seem to think so, but the SIG P226 went through some rigorous tests from the US military and passed, along with Beretta. Admittedly Glock was not allowed to participate because it is a foreign manufactured gun. All that aside it is great we have so many choices and a preference for the Glocks is a subjective one......JJ
You do know beretta is Italian and sig is Swiss right?And glock did have a chance to compete but the guidelines didn't give them enough time. But now marshals and FBI carry them.
The contract stated that the military firearms be made in USA...both Sig and Beretta had factories here ready and able to produce them as did the others who competed. After the trials Beretta has been making them here. Glock did not meet the specifications to begin with and did not have a factory here at the time.......JJ
The handgun was adopted into service with the Austrian military and police forces in 1982 as the P80 (Pistole 80),[14] with an initial order for 25,000 guns.[10] The Glock 17 outperformed 8 different pistols from five other established manufacturers (Heckler & Koch offered their P7M8, P7M13 and P9S, SIG-Sauer of Switzerland bid with their P220 and P226 models, Beretta of Italy submitted their model 92SB-F, FN Herstal proposed an updated variant of the Browning Hi-Power and the home-grown Steyr entered the competition with the GB).[15]
The results of the Austrian trials sparked a wave of interest in Western Europe and overseas, particularly in the United States, where a similar effort to select a service-wide replacement for the M1911 had been ongoing since the late 1970s (known as the Joint Service Small Arms Program). In late 1983, the United States Department of Defense inquired about the Glock pistol and received four samples of the Glock 17 for unofficial evaluation.[16] Glock was then invited to participate in the XM9 Personal Defense Pistol Trials, but declined because the DOD specifications would require extensive retooling of production equipment and providing 35 test samples in an unrealistic time frame.[16]
Shortly thereafter, the Glock 17 was accepted into service with the Norwegian, and Swedish Armed Forces, surpassing all prior NATO durability standards.[16] As a result, the Glock 17 became a standard NATO-classified sidearm and was granted a NATO Stock Number (1005-25-133-6775).[16]
By 1992, some 350,000 pistols had been sold in more than 45 countries, including 250,000 in the United States alone.[14]
Glock turned the USA down. Not the other way. And sig didn't have a plant till 85
Who cares.....I didn't even know Norway had a military.....do both of the guys and their german shhepard all have one? They couldn't make 35 guns to be tested in the same amount of time all the other companies could ....Hmmmmmm. That just seems unfair. I own a glock amongst other handguns. I am just not a big internet copy paster though, I rely on me to form my opinion.
There are other guns out there and there even other guns with NATO stock numbers on them. What the heck does that number mean anyway? I am not a bit impressed by that and i own a gun with a NATO syock number on it and advertised as a big deal by the company. It's a great weapon but the NATO # I think it's hype, or not I am not sure.
Glocks are reliable and a lot of places use them. As has been stated,their marketing dept is clever! They give such a good deal to certian entites it would be hard for them to pass on them. Then they advertise "used by the Icelandic Armed Forces" and get people in the public to buy into it and pass it on. I have a few buddies that shoot Glocks and even compete with them. They shoot good and do very well. I personally will not use one in competition nor do I normally use mine at all. Its nice but it is nothing special nor is it superior to most other brands in any criteria I place importance on.
Now they have a way better mag spring then those Italian guns don't get me wrong........................its a joke, mellow out!
Don <><

I'm mellow I was however in debate club 0_o. Nerdy I know. But I like when someone comments to back up a statement. Arguing opinion is one of the great freedoms we have. I just wanted to explain the facts I had to formulate opinion. And I guess copying and pasting was a problem?

I don't understand.
Map9690, do you own a Glock? Do you need reassurance from us, that you made the right choice? Is that what this thread is about?
If that is indeed what you're after, please allow me to reassure you: If you like your Glock, then you made the right choice.
Glocks don't feel good in my hands; but if your Glock feels good in your hands, it was the right choice.
Glock magazines stick in the gun if they're not completely empty, which I don't like; but if you don't mind pulling magazines out, you made the right choice.
Glocks come with fragile plastic sights, which rip off if I try to rack the slide on my belt. I don't like that; but if you never slide-rack one-handed, you made the right choice.
Feel better now?

I used one of these at my last job for about 30 months and it didn't break. When I accidentally turned it in with my badge, I ordered a couple of more. The clip works well, and I haven't had any problems. I probably extend and retract it about 10 times a day, so I easily got 5000 pulls on the reel without any problems.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this in any of the color variation. I even trust the quality so much, that I've keep both my Desk Key and Badge on the end. Were it to ever break, I'd be locked out of my desk... so that's a big vote of confidence from my end.

Emirates Stadium was the destination for a very special tournament last week when the annual Premier League Schools Tournament arrived in north London.
The 40 teams competing at the Gunners' home were all winners of local tournaments organised by each Barclays Premier League club for schools in their area. The two lucky schools representing Arsenal were Hanover Primary School in Islington (U11 Mixed), who won a tightly contested final against New North Community School to earn the right to follow in the footsteps of their Arsenal heroes.
Mossbourne Academy in Hackney (U13 Girls) who won a closely-fought contest on penalties to earn their place at Emirates Stadium.
Prior to last week's tournament, both Arsenal representative teams were given a chance to visit Arsenal's London Colney Training Centre. where they were given some top advice from midfielder, Mikel Arteta.
On the pitch, the Arsenal teams did themselves proud but eventually missed out on a share of the honours – Fulham (Corpus Christi Primary School) saw off the challenge of Tottenham Hotspur (Rhodes Avenue Primary School) in an entertaining Under-11 final, bringing to an end a nationwide tournament that began back in August and featured a record entry of more than 1,000 schools and 8,000 players.
Wigan Athletic (St Peter's Catholic High School) were triumphant in the Under-13 girls' tournament, meanwhile, winning nerve-wracking penalty shoot-outs in both the semi-final against Aston Villa (Stratford Upon Avon High School) and the final against Blackburn Rovers (St Bede's College).
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore, who presented the trophies at the end of the day alongside Arsenal Ladies' forward, Kim Little, said: "The Premier League gets ever more global as we know. There are more people watching in more countries, there are more players from overseas countries, but the clubs also work very, very hard at staying close to their communities and tournaments like this are a very important part of that."
All participating teams got to wear their Club's kit, walk out of the Players' Tunnel to the sound of the Premier League's official anthem and have their matches officiated by six Premier League referees.
One of those was Phil Dowd who oversaw the FA Cup Final at Wembley just four days earlier.
"It's a bit more relaxed here," Dowd said. "The kids were really, really well behaved. I didn't have to give any red or yellow cards, so no reports for me to write!"
Talking about the impact of the tournament, the Premier League's Head of Community Development, Simon Morgan added: "[This is] the culmination of what our clubs do day in, day out, which is promoting football within their local communities. The whole point of this is promoting football participation and hopefully giving these youngsters a lifelong love of football so they want to keep playing when they're older in their various cities and towns across the country."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

A cool hike would be Green's West Ridge to the summit of Green, then back down West Ridge a bit to Green Bear to Bear Peak West Ridge to Bear Peak summit. Maybe next time...

Chimney fire comes through roof of Richmond home
Deputy Fire Chief Ed Atkins said the initial responders saw flames coming up through the roof of the home and soon found the fire had spread from the chimney to other parts of the attic.
The crews were able to keep the fire contained to the attic, sparing most of the rest of the house from major damage.
'It was a good stop by our guys,' Atkins said.
No one was hurt in the fire, though the family will be displaced for a while, Atkins said.
Richmond crews were assisted by Fitzwilliam, Winchester, Swanzey, and Royalston, Mass., firefighters.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Apr 18, 2013.
Maybe the guys being snapped up are not the ones that Pistons are interested in?
Pistons are looking to break the NBA record for single-season coaching interviews. Pistons interview Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin for coaching job | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
I am not sure I am on the board with he last 3 draft picks. Those were the most talented left in the draft at the time Joe had to make a pick. Also, Joe wanted AI for the longest time and finally got a chance to act on his desires, albeit a few years too late. Pistons almost got AI before if not for the infamous Matt Geiger veto.
May as well give Lee a courtesy interview too...
Lee would say the consultant is clueless.
I'd be happy if Lee interviewed the new coach...........a great read..............
I think a lot of fans might think that Coach Lee356 was clueless, and had an Agenda Against Winning... but we would all know that he was just sandbagging.
Utah gets it... Karl Malone to work with young Jazz big men | NBA.com
"You have two elbows and two knees. Swing em around a little. No no, a little less MMA and a little more Metta World Peace" Excerpts from Banging in the Post: Run your own corner by Karl Malone.
No you're not entitled to your option. Or the comfort of knowing your option is well accepted. Dumars would/is concerned about losing a popularity contest ? I'd go with others that Laim wants JD's job period. And since we all agree Laim would speak his mind freely, I could see an uncomfortable situation where Laim says a draft pick is a bad choice. Thus undermine JD. Can some one show me where LFrank was Gores guy ? And JD said he would've preferred another ? Was he trying to undermine Gores ? Or viseversa
A) We'll agree to disagree. I AM entitled to my opinion...I am NOT entitled to my own facts. What I offered was opinion. It was not presented as a factual account of the situation. You're welcomed to disagree with my opinion, but you're NOT welcomed to telling me that I cannot have an opinion. End of story. B) You pretty much just agreed with me by following up and suggesting that Laimbeer would rock the boat. Well done.
Bill Laimbeer isn't some kind of loose cannon. He's a professional and has always carried himself that way in business, the broadcast booth and in basketball. Sure he griped to refs and acted like a jerk to get under the skin of his opponents. He's always been about the team winning and as far as I know, has never done anything to jeopardize that (except maybe brawling with Zeke in practice). Frank was Gores'/Dave Checketts' pick. Joe wanted Mike Woodson.
Check out these two articles from 2011 Frank remains a finalist in Detroit - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston Pistons Set To Hire Lawrence Frank - Winning Hoops
That's absurd. He is completely entitled to an opinion. You are also entitled to disagree, or even not respect that opinion. Short of Gores coming out and making out with Lawrence on national TV, there isn't many other signals stronger than the ones he sent out that it was his hire.
Short of Gores coming out and making out with Lawrence on national TV, there isn't many other signals stronger than the ones he sent out that it was his hire. So that's the clue. And what clue did JD give that Mike was his preferred guy ? P.S. The Low is supposed to be setting up a puppet gov. somewhere. Not joking around here.
Thanks Dre. So Checketts must be on the outs cause his candidate failed. First Checketts then PJackson, what BS from Gores. * from that ESPN post: Dumars continues to serve as Detroit's lead basketball decision-maker, with Gores announced when he officially took control of the franchise that "we're going to lean on (Dumars) pretty heavily." But the hiring of Frank is another indication that Checketts' voice is also being heard. Sources said that the decision to interview Ewing, an Orlando Magic assistant, likewise originated with Checketts. Frank was 225-241 in parts of seven seasons coaching the New Jersey Nets before joining Rivers' staff in Boston this past season, replacing Tom Thibodeau, who was hired to coach the Chicago Bulls. Woodson, who interviewed for Minnesota's coaching vacancy earlier this week, elected to take the Atlanta Hawks' job before Brown's final season in Detroit instead of waiting to see how long it would take to inherit the job from Brown. He posted a record of 206-286 in six seasons in Atlanta, advancing to the second round of the playoffs twice. Checketts' consulting and investment firm for sports teams, SCP Worldwide, currently owns Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer and is trying to sell the NHL's St. Louis Blues.
Maybe I was thinking options on opinions and whiffed as usual.
I find it interesting that the 3 remaining coaches in the playoffs are all non-NBA players. Both Finals coaches last year were both non-players also. Why can't the Pistons go in this direction?
Because we have an ex nba player GM.
We just went in that direction.

Naked cave man could get kicked out of mountain
EL PASO, Texas - The man who said he's been living in the area around McKelligon Canyon for three years is squatting on city land.
"People come out here to barbecue, people come up here to sleep and camp out," said the man who sat shirtless inside the cave he's been using as his home. He declined to give his name. "This is Franklin Mountain State Park." Watch the full interview with the man here.
"I don't know where exactly he's living, but I know he's not living in the state park," said Texas state park ranger Raul Gomez as he looked over a Google maps image of the area around McKelligon Canyon.
Gomez said the "cave" the man's been living out of is actually an old collapsed water collection ditch that Gomez said sits on property belonging to the El Paso Water Utilities - Public Service Board.
A spokesman for EPWU was not immediately able to confirm if the land belonged to the PSB, but released a statement:
"Land records indicate a very intricate patchwork of property owners in the immediate area. El Paso Water Utilities staff will have to inspect the area to determine who owns the land. If it is land for which EPWU is responsible, staff will work with El Paso Police to immediately remove any trespassers."
According to El Paso Police spokesman Mike Baranyay there's a process the city has to complete before they could kick out the man.
Baranyay said that firstly, someone would have to file an official complaint, then police would have to inform the squatter and give him an opportunity to clear out on his own.
But the hardest part, Baranyay said, would be proving the man has been using the "cave" as a permanent residence.
"He says he's been living up here for three years but none of the hikers or mountain bikers who are out here have never seen here or said he's caused problems out here in McKelligon Canyon," said Gomez.
While the future isn't clear for the man in the mountain, he said he has no intention of staying in a shelter. "(Shelters are) the police and lawyers milking the taxpayers. Shelters are costing the taxpayers money."
On Sunday a group of hikers approached ABC-7 after stumbling upon some the cave and the man inside. The hikers said he chased them out of the dwelling in the nude.
When asked about the allegations of nudity, the man said, "That's stupidity."

Redmond drug bust nets 2 -- despite canal swim
Drug agents seize $11,000 worth of methamphetamine
REDMOND, Ore. - A traffic stop in southwest Redmond led to the seizure of $11,000 worth of methamphetamine and the arrest of two Bend residents on drug charges – but first, one tried to get away by jumping in an irrigation canal and swimming across it, to no avail, Central Oregon drug agents said Wednesday.
Shortly after 9:30 a.m. Monday, Deschutes County sheriff's detectives stopped a silver Kia near the intersection of Highway 97 and Yew Avenue for various traffic violations, including failure to drive within a lane of travel and failure to signal a turn, said Lt. Ken Mannix of the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team.
"Information developed during the stop led to the deployment of a drug detection K-9," Mannix said in a news release.
During a search of the car, Collins ran and jumped into a nearby canal, Mannix said. He swam across it and got out, but was then arrested without incident by Redmond police.
A search of the car turned up about 9 ½ ounces of meth with a street value of about $11,000, as well as drug paraphernalia, packaging material, scales and other evidence of sales and manufacturing of the drug.
Collins and White were lodged at the county jail in Bend.
Collins remained held Wednesday on $100,000 bail, facing charges of meth possession, distribution and manufacture, heroin possession, attempt to elude a police officer and car theft.
White, charged with meth possession, distribution and manufacture, was released Tuesday after posting 10 percent of her $15,000 bail.
Mannix said Collins has been the subject of other recent CODE Team drug investigations, the most recent last September, when he was arrested on various drug charges and agents seized about a half-ounce of meth.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by MotownPride, Oct 5, 2012.
Sometimes I look at my roster and can't believe it has done as well as it has (knock on wood)
Yea, it will be interesting to see how your team fairs now that Durant is out 2-3 weeks.
haha. However, I did lose BK and Joe Johnson for a couple games each last week, taking a hit on 3 pointers. I expect BK to be fine and continue his underwhelming season. All my PGs are pretty mediocre except for maybe George Hill. btw...that Terry for Harden trade offer is still open Johnson is more of a concern with Yahoo reporting he may occasionally sit games from here on out
Your Jedi mind tricks didn't work that time, Bill.
You know I at least got detteam to go check the Internets to verify the non-injury....
Naw. Check my roster's stats and health status first thing every morning while taking a dump
Durant's injury info might not have been known about that early. You do know that people can get injured in their sleep, don't you?
I was wondering if yahoo, espn, et al offered scoring using a player's average weekly game rather than the sum of their games in a week. That would seem to eliminate the number of games mismatches that occur. A team's weekly score would be the sum of their ten player's average game during that week. The percent categories are already baseless so could remain as is.
Actually, dealing with the number of games played per week is part of the fantasy strategy in many sports (baseball, basketball, hockey, etc.).
I guess. But a manager's tools for dealing with a lot fewer games than his or her opponent are pretty limited. Basically you can drop players with fewer games and try to find guys among the available pool with more. That seems more a lose now or lose later option if you end up dropping somebody good with two games in favor of a player on the scrap heap with four or five.
I agree. In weekly leagues, there is more strategy. You often have to decide on things like "Do I want 3 games of Kobe Bryant or 4 games of Rodney Stuckey?".
Fixed for ya... pretty even if you ask me
I'm hoping that Al Harrington is going to prove a shrewd pick up after his return yesterday...
This is turning out to be a very competitive league where almost anyone is a contender. I don't think I've seen a league where so many teams with win percentages so close. We have a ton of teams near the .500 mark. The playoff race should get interesting in a hurry.
Maybe the playoffs should be extended to put all teams that finish over 500 in the playoffs....which means maybe 10 instead of 8?? Of course I say this when I am # 9 looking in...
Or, we could shrink it and just put the top 4 teams in....unless I fall out of the top 4, of course.
Let's skip the playoffs and just award the title to the #1 ranked team!
Or the team that beat the #1 ranked team last week.....
Let's start this week over. I was traveling all day yesterday and forgot to set my lineup.
Oops. I'll sit some of my guys this week to make it even.

REVIEW: Iron Man 3
Billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) returns to fans still brilliant, but slightly broken. His life after the alien ordeal with The Avengers is riddled with worry and flashbacks. With no sleep and no mental reprieve, Stark shuts himself away in his shop to tinker, create and hide.
Unfortunately, hiding from the world isn't really an option when your alternate identity is Iron Man. Dragged into a personal war with a new terroristic villain named The Mandarin (Sir Ben Kingsley), Stark must protect the ones he loves as his home and safety literally crumble around him.
Taking a massive beating physically and mentally has Stark working to regroup and revive his fighting spirit. The web becomes even more tangled as his girlfriend Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) is dragged into the fray by an ex-business associate named Aldrich Killian (Guy Pierce).
Seeking answers and the truth to this new foe finds Stark having to live more "Man" and less "Iron". Realization lands when the insidious plan unfolds and the magnitude of the danger comes to light. Iron Man must now decide if his fight is based on revenge, saving the world or finding the woman that compels the man inside the suit.
If I'm to be honest, I wasn't totally blown away by this movie. Overall the film is fun and entertaining, but the ideal "Epic-ness" of Iron Man and the Marvel universe weren't there for me. In retrospect, the twists and the roles of the villains were minor let downs. Though I must say I did enjoy Director Shane Black's humorous touches.
While it may not be as blockbustery as I wanted, the movie is not terrible by any means. Action, effects and humor all played their part well. Robert Downey Jr. brings Stark to life like only he can. The plot is interesting, but I must admit that it feels more episodic than previous films. Perhaps the gleam is off the rose, or maybe I just want more after the explosion that was The Avengers.
Whether you will love this film or not, all I can promise is that Tony Stark will return.
Grade: B
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running time: 2hr 20min.

As a side note, I was also sent the new Iron Man 3 toys from Hasbro. And I must say that these new toys are amazing! Never more have children had the opportunity to become their favorite characters. With ARC FX Mission Mask and the Motorized ARC FX Gauntlet, kids are only an adventure away from saving the world or maybe just the backyard.
Below is a video of the new toys. I would have posted a photo of myself wearing them as well, but I feel I've already stretched my Sci-Fi Nerd license too much already.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Founded in 1848 the cemetery started with just six acres of land adjoining the borough of Lewisburg in East Buffalo Township. They moved most of the interments from the old grave yards in town here as soon as the land was ready. and during the thirty years nearly all the lots were taken. An additional six acres were purchased in 1878. The cemetery has been managed by an incorporated association from inception with lot holders having vote at annual meetings. It is located on rolling hills overlooking the town and today adjoins Bucknell University on the one side. There was a stone chapel built in 1899 which is open for an ecumenical meditation service the first and third Sunday of every month from noon until the completion of the meditation service . People also assemble at 7:30 PM on the these days. The chapel is also available for Memorial Services and Weddings.

"We love this recipe! Discovered it a few weeks and have made it several times since--reminds us of an Orange Julius. We've been experimenting with different fruits and the same base ingredients: strawberries with strawberry yogurt--meh. Mango and banana with plain yogurt and pineapple juice instead of orange juice--divine! The pudding mix seems to be the key ingredient for smooth and mellow flavor."

So I have access to a milo field that got flooded with about 2 feet of water and can't be harvested. With all the crops standing, you can't see that there's water in it until you walk start walking into the field and about 30 yards in you start splashing. Bumped about 10 teal and a few big ducks off of it. I know it will get hammered by the ducks eventually, but I've never hunted a field like this and have a couple questions for anyone familiar with this situation.
Any ideas on concealment? I thought about sitting between rows and bending the stalks to either side of me over my head and zip tying those together. Make a little milo tent. Is this necessary you think?
Can't go trample an open hole or else it's "manipulation" of a crop and "baiting." Birds seem to land anyway though. I'm sure through natural movement and retrieving decoys/birds a hole will get opened in a few hunts.
Any tips from people who hunt this kind of deal more often are welcome.

Invictas must be for the young - because as I get older, Invictas just look more and more boring.

Yeah no kidding. I am very disappointed to see yet another watch on woot so soon after the launch of the accessories & watches subwoot.
Invictas are good as a "gate keeper" watch, meaning for a person starting a watch collection, or someone who's interested in doing so, Invictas are a way of getting their feet wet.
But after a short while, for someone who wants to continue collecting watches, it's time to move on to more substantial timepieces.
If you want to see what a real $495.00 watch looks like, okay, it's $510.00 dollars for non European Union customers, check out this dive watch from Christopher Ward London. I don't work for the company, but I am a customer. This watch, unlike the Invicta, which runs on a battery, which will eventually die, is an automatic, meaning you can either wind it or it keeps itself would when word on the wrist. No battery to change out.
Although professional divers don't wear dive watches, they have dive computers on their wrists, an amateur diver, which I'm not could use a well put together, (non-Invicta) watch to do so.
End of rant.

Having to change a watch battery every 5 (?) years doesn't seem to be much of a hardship.
charliecarroll wrote: ZERO "0" Customer Service From INVICTA.
Before you buy an Invicta you may want to Read This!
I could fill up thee pages of comments on all the known problems, ethics, less than honest sales techniques, crap for customer service, etc., about INVICTA but it is easier just to share a couple links that will get you to some facts you should know before you spend your hard earned cash on this brand. These three links have to do with customer service issues. And, these are by no means the only complaints to be found on the web and are just a small sample. Google it yourself.
Customer service is always a true indication to what all of a company is about or, not about in the case of INVICTA.
BBB also rates the company with an F but many state that the BBB is not what it used to be and a rating can be "purchased". I have no clue as to any truth in that but since I see that quite a bit when the BBB is brought up in discussions I left out their link. But for what it is worth to those that trust the BBB, I did note the rating they give Invicta.
For what it's worth, I got a non-working Invicta watch (off woot? can't remember.) I sent it back to the service center and they wanted me to pay $25 (on a $50 watch) for handling and repair. After complaining mightily they relented, but overall pretty lousy service I'd agree.
I think I'm in. Invicta is not a bad name, and it appears this model has 4 stars on Amazon for a lot more money.
babygrl1178 wrote:Yeah no kidding. I am very disappointed to see yet another watch on woot so soon after the launch of the accessories & watches subwoot.
I would imagine Woot is doing this to get people to associate watches with the woot label, so they will use the subwoot. Just sayin.
Definitely. Now if we can just get woot to not list any sports, tech, or wine related items on their main page since there are subwoots for those too.
$495 list price, eh... Yeah, Woot, about that list price...

I hope fashion swings back to thin, smaller faced watches before the ones I have that I can wear and hardly know they're there die.
Sounds like the Swiss Legend I got a couple months ago. I thought it looked nice, but holy moly is it HUGE.
I don't know if I should wear it on my wrist or around my neck like Flavor-Flav.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson appear to be going strong.
The on-again/off-again couple was photographed grabbing lunch together in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Kristen wore her hair down with a backwards baseball hat and shades, along with a white Beach Boys T-shirt, faded black cut-off shorts (rolled up just above her knees) and her signature Converse sneakers.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Hottest Vampire -- Robert Pattinson
Rob - sporting very closely-cropped hair - wore shades, a black T-shirt, black jeans and black shoes.
The former "Twilight" stars looked to be "very much in love, lovey dovey, cuddling and smiling," an observer told People.
PHOTOS: Kristen Stewart's Best Red Carpet Looks
The lunch date marks the third time Rob and Kristen have been seen out together since Rob returned from filming a movie in Australia last month (the couple also attended a birthday party for Katy Perry's assistant on March 20, and had dinner together the night before).

Discussion in 'December 2010' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
The full court hook shot isn't great either.
its great when it goes in..
The one where you try and bounce it off of the shot clock ain't all that great either.
LOL! For anyone but Kareem, maybe...
Anyone remember Tom Heinsohn draining 3pt hook shots with ease during the Legends games in the 80's?
Problem is I don't see a stat for Mid Range so not sure where the writer got his stats.
They call it "the longggggg two pointer". My vote for worst shot is the desperation-end-of the half heave from the other end of the floor. The shot goes in less 1% of the time and if it does, it's normally after time has expired. I especially hate it when my fantasy players take it....I need all the help I can get in the FG% category and that shot does not help me
He uses my definition.
Someone please post a link to Silvertongue's write-up. I can't seem to find it. You must be mistaken. I read this forum regularly and so I know that Tayshaun is a selfish, me-first, blood-sucking menace that we must rid ourselves of immediately. I have these crazy bug bites from my Christmas vacation and I'm pretty sure it's Stuckey's fault.
Are you sure Lindsey Hunter isn't responsible?
Separate names with a comma.


text: Ok, some of you know of my issues with my P226. Well, she performed well on the range two weeks ago and I have decided to give the revolver a break. I'm going to try taking her to an IDPA match again tomorrow. I may hit the range one last time before the match to get my hands set for where she needs to be aimed to hit center mass, but she's grouping well again, although still a bit off to the side and low (tested by more shooters than myself). She's going to get a good bath first, then we'll see what happens. Wish us luck. I'll let you all know how it goes. (although I don't expect to perform any better, personally LOL!)

Ballmer told The New York Times that IBM made a mistake when it quit the PC, hard disk, and networking equipment businesses, because companies need to diversify if they want to profit over the long term. Here's what he told the Times:
"I.B.M. is the company that is notable for going the other direction. I.B.M.'s footprint is more narrow today than it was when I started. I am not sure that has been to the long-term benefit of their shareholders.
Times says:
I.B.M.'s strategy has worked out O.K. for its investors over the last decade. Shares of I.B.M. are up about 30 percent since 1999, while shares of Microsoft have dropped about 30 percent over the same time span.http://blogs.computerworld.com/14838/ballmer_ibm_should_ignore_profits_get_back_into_the_hardware_business

Soon as you have the cash in the bank? I'd write and mail 'em a paper letter. It's not often companies stand up and do the right thing so quickly. Ones that do should be identified. Anyone can be "good" when nothing is wrong. It's when the SHTF that true character comes out
Every apt I have ever lived in, the parking was at "owner's risk". I was going to say unless you can prove it was intentional, the most you would get is a "sorry". It was its because of blowing leaves with a leaf blower them shut happens. It'd be no different than finding leaves around my Jeep.That's why my bike doesn't stay parked outside.Sent from my iPhizzle using Tapatalk
