Thread: Only a Stone Down a Well...
Only a Stone Down a Well...
I ran into Billy Cundiff today. At an undisclosed location for his safety. It was really awkward so I pretended I didn't recognize him. It was in a deodorant aisle. He took the cap off of Old Spice, smelled it, his face lit up, and he said, "smell this!" He tossed it to me and I dropped it on the floor.
"Uh oh! Looks like you pulled a Lee Evans!" he said.
I was so shocked that I said nothing. Later, I overheard him on the phone. His voice wasn't loud but had a savage tone. "I'd like to make reservations for February second!" he said. He accidentally turned on speakerphone and I heard the person on the phone say "Uhh sir, you don't really need to make reservations. You can just come in when you need to eat. It isn't like it's the Superbowl or something. It is only Groundhog's day."
Billy had the most sickening look on his face when the word Superbowl was mentioned.
Billy persisted, "No! There is simply no way you can expect me to believe that! Who doesn't want to see Phil? Reservations for two!"
"Fine. What is the party name?"
Billy said, "Uhhh, Evans."
Unbelievable. I guess there is no way they could be in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania on Thursday and be in Indianapolis for the Superbowl 3 days later. I guess seeing a goddamned groundhog is more important to them than being World Champions. That town isn't worth a damned thing unless Bill Murray is there.
Well I hope you're happy Cundiff and Evans! I hope the shadow is more pleasing to you than the shadow of your corruption is to me and the rest of Ravens nation!
In their defense, the hick bands that play at Groundhogs day will probably be 15 times better than the Superbowl halftime show. Seriously. Why can't they have David Bowie? Or MGMT?

Uh... what in the world is this?
A dream? Stream of consciousness?
Some of this is now getting ridiculous. How many threads are we going to have like this until next year?

Bead blast to dull, if you want black Gunkote and bake on.
They were popular in the movies. AHNULD of course had the laser sighted one in Terminator, and Billy Zane wielded Twins as the Phantom. Saw one in Crocodile Dundee too.
This KT Ordinance 80% 1911 frame I picked up a while ago is destined to be a rainy day long slide project. I'm kinda leaning towards a 7" barrel so I can thread it for a suppressor. Other than picking up the frame, I haven't really done anything with it yet. Just keeping an eye open for some decent parts to put on it.
Here it is next to my ATI GI 1911 with a 4" barrel.
The owner of KT Ordinance tossed these grips in for free when I visited his shop to pick up the frame. They're themed from the Boondocks Saints movie in case anyone is wondering about the logo.
The dust cover rail is completely solid, so I was thinking of drilling a couple of small holes on either side of center and putting a tiny laser in one side and a CREE LED in the other. It's harder to describe the idea that it would be to just do it. I've found a small enough laser system that I can adapt and I have a couple of ideas for the LED. The switches would be located at the rear of the rail so I can reach them with my trigger finger. When I get all the parts together I'll start a new thread if anyone wants to follow along with the build.
i've been looking around for a foster frame for my new "project" -- right now caspain don't have any in stock and don't know when they will have any more.
they have a nice stainless steel frame on their sight for $200 ish-- Double-Star seels a very nice frame that is railed for $300 some odd at brownells.
i don't think i want to put more than about two bills in a frame -- this is still sort of a budget project.
i have had excellent results from RIA frames --for $100 their sure hard to beat.
ibut then again my project is 'only" a 6"--LOL===
Browning's original design had a 6" barrel and a nearly vertical grip. As it evolved into the 1911, it went from .38 ACP to .45, the barrel got shortened, and the grip angle increased. I think JMB called it right on the 6" barrel, though.
The 7" slides are okay, but the 6" slides look better to me. And I never cared for the "tongue sticking out" look of the AMTs with the barrel longer than the slide...
That doesn't surprise me a bit about competing in A class with the Hardballers, Kernel. Mine shot like crazy and was probably the most accurate out of the box 45 I ever owned and other than being a bit finicky about ammo it was probably the best all around 45 I ever owned, other than a full custom one.
I still really kick myself in the ass for ever selling it,, but like most everyone else here,,tastes and circumstances changed, so sadly it was one of those that got away.
I did occasionally carry it back in the day,, but this was way before the days of all the compact 45 models being available like they are now and the 1911 platform was my carry piece for many many years being the old school dude I was. The shoulder rig was all that really worked for me with the AMT sense there was no practical way you could even think of sitting down when it was in a side holster, trying to drive with it that way,,,,forgetaboutit!!!! It stayed tucked under my leg while driving or in a slide type holster attached to the side of the console of my truck.
Luckily back then suit jackets and turtle neck sweaters and YES bell bottoms,,,, were in style, so it was somewhat easyer to carry it in a shoulder rig. A regular Mod Squad dude with a big shinny 45!!!!:lol::lol:
Oh My,, Oh my,,,how times have changed! I still miss those mini skirt days though !:bawling::hippy:
I loved the "wrap skirts". They thought they were safely "commando" with a fairly long skirt then a gust of wind would pick up...
Girls in skirts! LOL all them hormones.glad I fathered sons.
called sarco and ordered the 6" para slide today-- they asked would you like one of our 6" 1911 barrels their on sale for only $29.99?
i'm thinking $29 for a 1911 barrel? i'll pass---LOL!

First up is an ECU out of an 86 GLI 8v. It was working great before the car was torn down a couple of months ago. Not really much to say on this. You get what you see in the picture. It's the 8v ECU and the little metal mounting bracket. I'll even throw in the ICM since it's still attached. Part # 811 906 264 A
This is a CE1 fuse block pulled out a running/driving/working 86 Jetta GLI. It comes with what you see in the pictures.

Middle A/C vent out of a 86 Jetta GLI. Not cracked anywhere. Tabs/clips are still there. Works fine.
Power steering resevoir out of an 89 GTI. Nothing really fancy here. The clips are still there. It doesn't leak and the o-ring on the cap appears to be in good shape. If you want I have and can include the mounting bracket although it's got some pretty good surface rust on it. If you ask really nicely I might even be able to dig up the mounting bolts for the bracket.
Rearview mirror out of an 86 GLI 8v. It's a mirror. You use it to see what's behind you.

'The 22-year-old Hodgson is a playmaking center who had 33 points (16+17) in 63 games with the Canucks, while averaging just over 12 minutes of ice time per game. Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said Hodgson fits an immediate offensive need for the Sabres at a spot he calls the "second-most difficult position to fill in the National Hockey League behind goaltending."'

Official Trade Call: Sabres and Canucks Video – NHL VideoCenter
NHL.com provides an inside look at the official trade call between the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks.
Buffalo Sabres :: Cody Hodgson Montage [HD]
Cody Hodgson 2011-2012 Mashup
Sabres are usually part of deadline dealing
'"There's still usually moves that are made, one or two players that go in a different direction, but that's part of the business," Sabres captain Jason Pominville said Sunday. "We've got to focus on keeping it going and make a push [toward the playoffs]. We still believe."'
Turnover should start with Regier
'The damage is done.'
Pundits vary on plight of Sabres
'"You're fooling yourself if you're just going to chalk up this disappointing season to injuries. That's insulting to your fans' intelligence. … Specifically, it seems like an 'off' year for the key player on the team, Ryan Miller. That's not to say it's all his fault but my prediction (and I believe most would agree) was based on the fact that for the Sabres to be good, Miller had to be great and he hasn't been close."'
12th-place Sabres in tough spot as NHL trade deadline approaches
'What the heck do they do? Are they buying or selling?'
Regier's deadline work for Sabres has varied in recent years
'Coach Lindy Ruff has said the Sabres would've missed the playoffs last season if Boyes didn't switch from wing to center late.'
Monday's Rochester Coverage

Sabres let a point slip away in overtime
'The Sabres remain 11th in the East, six points behind eighth-place Winnipeg. They're 8-3-3 in their last 14 games but the loss ended their three-game winning streak and now they play four more a long way from home, starting Wednesday night in Anaheim.'
Major renovation rejuvenating MSG
'Also included in this year's work were 20 new courtside-rinkside suites that have been rented at about $1 million each annually and a private club in that area that allows fans to watch teams leave and enter the ice or court. MSG Network has a studio in that area that regularly shows that new wrinkle during Knicks and Rangers telecasts.'

'"Our guys mis-connected on a few plays there and that was the difference," said Miller.'

Brewers loom as attractive seller
The Milwaukee Brewers, who have yet to have a winning or losing streak of more than four games, might be one good week from getting into serious contention.
They also might be a bad week or two from becoming an active seller before the July 31 non-waiver deadline – and ace right-hander Zack Greinke would not be their only attractive chip.
Two other potential free agents - right-hander Shaun Marcum and right-handed reliever Francisco Rodriguez – also could appeal to contenders. So might backup catcher George Kottaras.
The Brewers – 6½ games back in the NL Central, 5½ games back in the wild-card race – are in a tricky spot. They again could reach 3 million in attendance, and some ticket buyers might be upset if they concede.
On the other hand, the Brewers have depleted their farm system to stay competitive in recent seasons, acquiring left-hander CC Sabathia in 2008 and Greinke after the 2010 season.
The best thing for the franchise long-term might be to make a series of trades, with Greinke being the biggest prize.
Some large-market teams might shy away from Greinke, who has battled depression and social anxiety disorder. Others might balk at the Brewers' asking price, knowing that under the new labor agreement, they no longer can collect draft picks if Greinke leaves as a free agent the end of the season.
Well, all it would take is one club to decide that Greinke is the missing piece. And the Giants last season traded prized pitching prospect Zack Wheeler for outfielder Carlos Beltran knowing that Beltran's contract prevented them from offering him salary arbitration – and collecting draft picks.
Marcum, currently on the disabled list with elbow tightness, would need to demonstrate that he is healthy before generating trade interest. But if he did, teams could be tempted by Marcum's 2.39 road ERA since the start of 2011, second only to C.J. Wilson in the majors.
Rodriguez isn't what he once was, but he struck out the White Sox's Gordon Beckham and Adam Dunn to escape a second-and-third jam in the eighth inning of a scoreless game on Sunday. His velocity has increased from 90.3 mph last season to 91.6 this season, though his strikeout rate has declined slightly.
Kottaras, a left-handed hitter who has an .865 OPS in 95 plate appearances, could be expendable once Jonathan Lucroy returns from a fractured right hand, with Martin Maldonado remaining the backup catcher.
Lucroy is expected back after the All-Star break. The Rays are among the teams in need of catching help.
-Ken Rosenthal
Trading for prospects is all well and good but unless we receive an actual major league pitcher in return how do the brewers even finish the season? Fiers has been a pleasant surprise but their depleted farm system is week at SP. Their top 4 prospects are all pitchers but all have major flaws that would relegate them to a 3 or 4 in the rotation at best. Peralta is the most confusing, he's struggling to throw strikes at all, to the clip of 45 walks in 71 inn this year in AAA. If the Crew trade Grienke and Marcum, Brewer fans will be looking at multiple losing streaks of 4+ games the rest of 2012. 2013 couldn't come soon enough...

18th C. French Leather Armchair
- No Longer Available -
Inspired by an 18th-century Louis XIII highback armchair, ours is a faithful reproduction. Employing the same craftsman techniques used 350 years ago, its burnished solid oak legs, arms and stretchers are hand-turned on a lathe while it bears the hallmark of mortise-and-tenon construction. The formal detailing is relaxed and balanced by a distressed finish, supple leather upholstery and hand-hammered upholsterer's brads.

Hillcrest High woodworking students put the "car" in "caring" as they worked on a project that combined classroom skills with a charitable cause. They made little toy cars for the Unified Police in Midvale to give to kids in time of crisis.
"We did this last year and donated it to Midvale Elementary," said Travis Rowley, woodshop teacher at Hillcrest High. "This year we wanted to do it a little bigger."
Rowley also asked his students to bring in crayons and coloring books, and they gladly obliged. The crayons, coloring books and toy cars were packaged together into 50 bags and presented to the police.
The idea is for the officers to keep the packages in their vehicles and give them to kids they encounter who might be sad or scared.
"It's to keep the kids calm, something to help them through the situation," Rowley said.
Leslie Covington-Taft, career and education coordinator at Hillcrest High, gave some examples of when the toy-car bags would come in handy.
"What they were thinking is when [the officers] come in on domestic-abuse cases," Covington-Taft said. "When they have to take small children out of the homes."
She also said it would be good to present the gifts to children at accident scenes or to kids who are homeless.
The students worked for two weeks off and on making the cars, which are about 8 inches long and 4 inches tall. They also hand-painted the cars different colors and put wooden wheels on them.
"They worked together to make it come to fruition," Covington-Taft said. "It was something they really enjoyed and how they wanted to give back."
Covington-Taft said she was impressed when she stopped by the classes to watch the kids work on the cars.
"They were cutting, and they were sanding," she said. "They were really excited to be doing it."
The students asked Hillcrest High's resource officer, Paula Stinson, to approach the Unified Police of Midvale to see if the agency would be interested in receiving wooden toy cars to give to kids. The officers were quickly onboard.
"We always handle and deal with kids that may have been in bad situations and need some cheering up," said Stinson, who is also a detective at the Midvale precinct. "There could be an accident when the children and parents are involved, any type of victimization, or there's been lost children."
A majority of the students from four classes that worked on the wooden toy cars were in attendance when the packages were presented to the police officers last month. Among those also present were Unified Police Underchief Tony Mason and Midvale Mayor JoAnn Seghini.
Covington-Taft said the students were enthusiastic and paid great attention when the officers explained how much this would mean to the small children.
"It got really hushed, very quiet," she said. "They listened intently … had smiles, and I think they all felt like we did a good thing here."
Manuel Weffer, sophomore at Hillcrest High, said he had a great time working on the toy cars.
"I love donating it, and I like the cause it was going toward," he said.
The officers at the Midvale precinct told him they don't get many donations, only some stuffed animals, so the toy cars can really make a difference. Manuel said he believes that even a small gift like a wooden toy car can cheer kids up.
"I have little brothers, and when they're sad, I give them a stuffed animal and they're better," he said.
Rowley first got the idea for his students to work on the cars when he took some time off for vacation in December last year.
"I didn't want the kids to just sit and read a book, so I came up with an idea that the kids could do safely," he said.
Rowley said the students were very encouraged by the fact that the cars would be given out to little children.
"It's amazing that when you ask kids, teenagers to do stuff like this, how willing they are," he said.
As they worked on the car during the holiday season, Rowley, who also teaches at Jordan High School, said the project really added to the spirit of giving.
"Between the two schools at this time of year, it's just fundraisers and donations one after another," he said. "It's amazing the kids always come through, and if you ask them they'll bend over backward to do it."

Discussion in '2009 Playoffs' started by max, Apr 20, 2009.
He was just riding Hermann's coattails. ;)
No need to update it now...anyways
Our defense was quick and on a string during the start of the fourth. We could switch and recover, bust the boards, trap, all the things you need to do against this team. Amir was quick to double and recover and he held his own on the boards. All that energy and athleticism is sitting on the bench the whole game. I wish Curry would sprinkle it throughout the game so we can take advantage of it instead of playing a lineup of Sheed, Dice and Kwame like he did tonight.
Pistons show up disinterested and allow the James Gang to cruise to 77-50 lead at the end of three. Only bright spot was Amir showing his muscles with a hard foul on Lebron and then he managed to square up with sideshow bob with a nice push off for an I care T. Piston scrubs start the 4th qtr on 25-6 run with Bynum and Alf leading the charge, but then a silly foul by Bynum with 4:04 left, stops the momentum as Curry takes out Herrman and Amir for Rip and Dice. The COY Brown had already showed signs of panic by putting three of his starters back in. Once Rip and Dice return, the Cavs go on a 11-3 run to seal the game as Bynum misses three straight jumpers, Rip misses two and Dice misses one....and the game was over. Why they didn't slow the game down by going to the rim for some possible and one situations was beyond me?? With less than 4 mins left you want to be able to score while the clock is not moving... FT discrepancy Cavs 32-43, Pistons 13-16 We made more FG's than they did (32-28), so once again the game was lost at the line because we were lovin them jumpshots... Maybe our second unit guys should have started the 3rd qtr or even the second?? Bottom line, our scrubs looked better than theirs for about 8 minutes in the 4th. We may be able to steal one at home, but tonight might be the last time the Pistons see Quicken Loans Arena unless they are guests of Lebron during the finals.
From the little i saw at the bar/restaurant. Yes i made them turn it on b/c i'm a masochist (a guilty masochist). Go Amir. Great foul ; too bad Curry pulled you. From what i could tell Curry outdid Flip tonight in terms of bench minutes. IIRC, No subs for almost the entire third, and i'm assuming the rally was made with majority bench players ? +13 +18 Can anyone guess what those are? The irony . . . LOL Is there really a need for Ben Wallace to play 8 minutes? Is he being eased back in or what? This SL still sucks, and for all those still watching, it's only going to get worse if it continues. I'd reiterate other stuff, but i could just take my post in another thread and re post it after every game. Same %#%, different day. Expected outcome, but props to Curry for screwing it up even further. 2 more games of this and we're done! I'd almost be willing to bet that we see the same SL next game and very similar minute distributions when the game is close.
The problem is he took out the two players that were doing the doubling and causing the turnovers and put in a slow center and an undersized three.
This clears up alot. Thanks. I was wondering what happened. I really feel like this strategy of trapping, sporadic doubling, using speed defensively will be very effective against LBJ/CLE. Glad to know it worked granted in a not so perfect test situation.
Or vice versa.
This is not possible. His stats do not reflect that. Obviously he was tricking people with his "intangibles".
Walter spreads the floor and Amir is constantly moving and setting screens for everbody. When you bring in Dice and Rip; both of those qualities go away. They came in and it became one on one basketball with contested jumpers. Amir was freeing up Bynum at the top and giving him options. Dice do that and Rip.
Curry had better be fired after we are eliminated in game 4.
Thought we were going to pull it out there for a minute. Got it down to 6. When Clev pulled their starters I knew there would be a small window because I will take out scrubs over any other scrubs in the league and certainly against Clev. Curry really should have left them in there or at least left Amir in for Dyess. At least he left AA, Bynum and Maxiel in there. Going to give the Cavs something to think about for game 3 ( I doubt it ) but its nice to think of anyway. Go back to starting Amir if you want to win this. He deserved it with his thugish play - maybe we can get some intimidation factor out of it. The way he was sending guys to the floor it will give them something to think about. Well. nice to think about but the reality is - we will be back to Sheed, Dyess and Tay next game. As usual.
All Cleveland has done is hold serve. This one looks like it is going 7. I hate to rain on Team Amir's parade, but the Cavs quit playing. CLE had their bench in to start the 4th and their starters were probably making dinner plans when they were put back in the game. Who were they showing and recovering against? The little things again (like talent and will) killed DET again. If you stopped the plays after the shot was taken, DET D was actually pretty good. They were solid against pick & rolls and were contesting shots for the most part, but the got killed on the boards and that is an understatement. Turnovers also killed them and that, unfortunately, is another understatement. Dyess looked like he was blinded for a portion of the first half with some of that passes he made. This isn't about individual players. DET is shorthanded. They can only win if they play like they did when won in BOS and Orlando with Rip scoring a lot and Stuckey close behind. CLE has a play maker and lots of shooters. The Pistons do not. You can see their offense dying when they swing the ball back to Stuckey. I think Curry's biggest mistake was not bringing Tay back in the 4th. That killed them.
To quote 'Scoe "That is one of my least favorite cliches. Finally...just a bit of reality. I don't begrudge anyone for wanting to see the kid play, but he's being given an awful lot of credit for having done so little with his NBA career.
Bynum in the game with 2 minutes to go in the 4th quarter of a playoff game? Who would have thought that was possible at the start of the season? Bynum could have been sent to the D-league and none of us would have ever known the difference. But the guy looks legit. Lebron had more free throws that the entire Pistons team... and the calls all seemed pretty fair. That is a problem. Also notice that it was our bigs picking up most of the fouls (Dyess and Brown), which means that the perimeter defense failed to contain Lebron again. And only 1 PF by Prince, which wasn't even on Lebron. What the heck is he doing out there? It was obvisouly nice to see that we made a game of it. I believe we held Cleveland to 1 FG in the first 10 minutes of the 4th quarter before putting the studs back in the game. That is the only way to come back from such a large deficit... hold your oponent to almost zero. It was disappointing to see the guys that got us back into leave the game, but good job by Curry leaving them in for so long in the first place. Not really a coaching failure to put in Rip Hamilton and Dyess (who immediately hit a nice J when he entered). But would be nice to see the energy guys integrated into the gameplan from the start. Cleveland is too athletic for our geezers.
What stupid coaching. Two centers makes us too slow. So he goes to three centers in the game. Thats right, a front line of Sheed, Dyess, and Kwame. And very predictably, the Cavs shoot from the outside knowing we can never recover to the shooter. Totally, ugly, preposterous basketball. And the national announcers are making total fun of us. Dumars should hang his head in shame for putting this product out there. And believe me, the coach is the worst part of it all. If not going to big, Curry goes too small. He basically avoids ever putting any thing that has half a chance to work out there. Of course, we were doing pretty darn well in the 4th quarter. Wow, Cleveland gets one bucket and several free throws in around a nine minute stretch. We got the lead back down to 7, with lots and lots of time left. So in comes the slowest player we got in Dyess. Dyess did get some bounds. But what about the defensive rotation that was making Cleveland cough up the ball so much they were not getting any shots up at all? That died when Dyess came in. And we really don't need his pansy outside shooting game either. Unless he makes nearly all of those, it hurts the team. Dyess did go inside some in this game. But still not enough. And he by no means did anything so special that he gets to replace Amir who was literally everywhere on defensive rotations. Combine Amir's activity with JMAX, plus a fine defensive duo in Afflalo and Bynum, wow, what defensive rotations. Herrmann did contribute by knocking down that 3, and he was ok guarding Wally Z in that stretch. At most, when Bron came back in, maybe Tay should have come back in to replace Herrmann for defense. That would have added speed to an already very quick unit. Lets say Big Z actually caused a problem for us. He did not. But if he did, then you bring in a center to address him. As it was, Big Z did no damage, so no change in our front line was called for. Did Curry bring Dyess in to shoot the pansy outside shots? Probably. Cause he is afterall the most clueless coach of all time. Or worse. Maybe you replace Bynum with Stuckey for a moment. Keep the speed up, give Bynum a quick rest - before putting him right back in a moment later. But no way you drop the team speed to a snails pace by bringing in Dyess for no reason whatsoever. Ok, so lets describe the Pistons offense thru 3 quarters. Occasionally, Rip would hit a jumper. Which never gets him to the line. Stuckey did go in some, but again probably attempted to impersonate Billups a bit too much, missing way too many outside shots. Sheed managed to connect on 2 threes and one other outside shot. And nothing posting up on several attempts. His leg is hurting, he has no lift from it, his post game is terrible at the moment. Tay just missed several shots. He was given easier defensive tasks, as he is too injured (back) to even begin to guard Bron. Note, that is one thing for sure Rip provided, half way decent defense on Bron for a lot of the game. Tay did fine on his easier tasks. He would have helped us more if he had never took a shot from the outside - since he can't make them. If he is this injured next game, no outside shots. Kwame, not much. Bad hands night. JMAX and Amir, and Afflalo, and Bynum. Tremendous defensive rotation in the 4th quarter. Wherever the ball went, a Piston was right there on the spot, now, no delay, never a step late. Herrmann was doing the simple task of following Wally Z around, and it all worked out just fine. Bynum was hitting some shots from the outside, and getting inside too. On that note, it seemed Stuckey had the right idea for a while, getting into the lane and making short jumpers. That worked, but he needs to keep doing that. Lot of turnovers. Should Bynum start. Maybe. He does seem to have a pretty decent handle on the ball. If spelled by Stuckey now and then to keep him fresh, he just might help us win this next game. But the next game. Well, what will Curry do. He is such a lousy coach, he will probably look at the film and decide his team needs to get bigger, and start Kwame at point and go up from there. Nope. He won't change anything. He will start the game with guys too slow to cover the defensive rotations. He will continue the nonsense by bringing in Kwame as the first big man sub. What a shame. A coach not even capable of learning a single thing from game to game. Now that I got some anger out. What else can I think of about what happened. Hmmm. Rip threw the ball away way too much. Our big unit, featuring no point guard, Tay, Rip, Sheed, Dyess, Kwame, was particularly horrid at handling the ball. It seemed to me that Curry was making a concentrated effort not to play Afflalo at that point. Who did not enter the game until 4 minutes into the 2nd quarter. Curry still has no clue about which of his players win games for him. After the big big big ball stupidity, he paired up Stuckey and Bynum in the backcourt, forgetting that its Afflalo who shores up his perimeter D. Stuckey plays some pretty weak, amateurish D. If I was the coach, he would not be allowed to play until he at least learns to keep a hand up to bother while defending.
Dyess and Rip were 1-6 after they were injected in the 4th quarter. All 6 shots were long jumpers. Maybe 1 was just inside college 3-point range. Max, Amir, and Fabio were 3-3 with 1 shot attempt a piece. And the rest was the Will Bynum, who was 4-11 I believe. The Jump shot report: RH 5-12 (.458 eFG) Bynum 4-9 (.444) Dyess 2-7 (.286) Tay 0-4 (.000) Sheed 3-6 (.667) Stuckey 2-10 (.200) Herrmann 1-1 (1.500) Afflalo 1-4 (.375) Maxiell 0-1 (.000) Overall, another weak effort by our big men in terms of drawing contact. Sheed, Dyess, Kwame, Max, and Amir made a combined 3 free throws in 100 minutes of court time. Lebron would average that many in 8 minutes.
That is the game summary right there. These guys will never get to the line shooting jumpers or not shooting at all....and..... we will not win.....
Lebron actually had 3 free throws in one trip to the line (after Amir tackled him). So that matched the output of over 1,000 lbs of Pistons beef tonight.
We are all witness. LeBron got roughed up tonight and with a 2-0 lead in the bag packed it in. He and the Cavs do not want to win the next 2 games, they want the Pistons to lose them. Who wants to do the dirty work and get your face messed up when there are commercials to be filmed? This thing ain't over by a long shot!

Professor Gregory Fox to Address 'Internationalized Territories' in Cohn Scholar Lecture, March 20
DETROIT (Feb. 7, 2008) –Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce that Gregory Fox, Wayne Law Professor and Cohn Family Endowed Scholar in Legal History, will speak in a lecture titled "Internationalized Territories" at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 20, 2008, in the Law School's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium.
A brief description of the lecture, which is free and open to the public, is as follows:
In East Timor, Kosovo and Bosnia, the international community turned traditional principles of sovereignty on their head: it became the government of the territory. The international and the national are indistinguishable in these cases. Professor Fox will discuss the history of such "internationalized territories" and ask if it holds any lessons for why, in the post-Cold War era, the international community is increasingly taking this extraordinary step.
Professor Fox is the author of Humanitarian Occupation (forthcoming, Cambridge 2008 , For details, click here) and the editor (with Wayne Law Professor Brad Roth) of Democratic Governance and International Law (Cambridge 2000), as well as the author of numerous articles and book chapters on international legal topics. Professor Fox was co-counsel to the State of Eritrea in an arbitration with the Republic of Yemen concerning the status of a group of islands in the southern Red Sea. He has also served as counsel in several international human rights cases in US courts.
Prior to teaching, Professor Fox worked in the litigation department of Hale & Dorr in Boston and held fellowships at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and Public International Law in Heidelberg, Germany and at the Schell Center for Human Rights at Yale Law School. From 1992-1995 he was the co-Director of the Center for International Studies at NYU Law School. He was also the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation/Social Science Research Council Fellowship in International Peace and Security.
Professor Fox is a member of the Executive Council of the American Society of International Law, Chair of the International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society and the first Chair of the Committee on International Human Rights of the State Bar of Michigan.
Professor Fox is a graduate of Bates College (B.A. 1982 phi beta kappa, with highest honors) and New York University (J.D. 1986).
The Cohn Family Endowed Scholar in Legal History was established by a distinguished Detroit judge, the Honorable Avern Cohn of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Judge Cohn has served that Court since his appointment by President Jimmy Carter in 1979.
Judge Cohn was born in Detroit. He practiced law in the city from 1949 until his appointment to the bench. He has long been a generous supporter of the Law School, and this gift is only one among many contributions he has made over the years to support the capital campaign, scholarship, and students.
The Cohn Family Endowed Scholar in Legal History is used to support the research, teaching, and scholarly activities for the holder of the appointment; the appointment will be for a two year period. In the second year of the appointment, the Cohn Family scholar will deliver a public presentation on historical aspects of his or her area of specialization.
Professor Gregory H. Fox was the inaugural recipient of the Cohn Family Endowed Scholar in Legal History. Professor Jocelyn Benson was recently named the second Cohn Scholar.
Wayne Law is located at 471 W. Palmer St. in Detroit. Parking is available in structure #1 across from the Law School, on Palmer Street (corner of Cass) for $3.50. For further information, please contact the Dean's Office at (313) 577-3933.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

As a graduate student, outreach is an instrumental part of our educational experience, whether we are presenting our recent work at a conference or mentoring a new student who joins the lab. Here at Hopkins, we are presented with ample opportunities that would fall under each of these categories. One of the rewarding activities in which I have participated is the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) program in partnership with Garrison Forest Schoo (GFS)l, an all-girls school located in Owings Mills, Maryland.
The WISE program is a partnership between GFS and Johns Hopkins University, and each year, around 14 interested juniors and seniors take part in a four-month research program. Students in the WISE program are matched with a graduate student research mentor who could be from a number of Hopkins programs, including the Schools of Engineering, Medicine, Arts and Sciences, and Public Health. The WISE students come to Hopkins for six hours each week, where they are able to participate in laboratory activities, department seminars, group meetings, classes, and even try their hand at a few experiments.
During my second year, I was able to serve as a mentor to two WISE students, and I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to mentor them. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to explain my project on nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for cancer treatment so that they could understand the research and also be able to explain it to their fellow students and teachers. I wasn't sure how much they would be able to do, but throughout the course of the program, they were able to learn how to use pipettes, prepare the nanoparticle solutions and even try to culture cells and view them under a microscope. At the conclusion of the program, they both gave ten-minute presentations on all that they learned. Both said that without this program, they might not have strongly considered a future major in a science field but would certainly do that as a result of their experiences.
Again this year, we have another WISE student working in our lab with a first-year Biomedical Engineering graduate student. Between reading some background information on the project, learning how to use the equipment, and even trying a few simple experiments, it has been a busy, but enjoyable, first few weeks in the program.
If you are interested in more information about the WISE program, please visit http://www.gfs.org/academics/the-wise-program/. I would encourage everyone to strongly think about becoming a mentor for a WISE student in the future. It was a rewarding experience for me, and I hope it will continue to push new students into STEM fields for their future careers.
John-Michael Williford is a PhD candidate in biomedical engineering working in the laboratory of Hai-Quan Mao.

What do you cover your boat blinds with?
I have a boat with blind for the versatility, storage and other stuff it provides. Because my duck hunting mentors used cedars and I'm too cheap to buy camo material, cedar is what I've used for years.
Of course, your blind should blend in with the surroundings, but ironically most all of my hunting spots don't have cedar trees or even other trees nearby. I'm usually in rice/scrub brush or grassy shores. I've had good luck with the cedars as have my neighboring fixed blinds. I'll continue to use cedars.
My boat blind has a mostly open top exposing the boat or shadows in some spots, mostly around where we sit. I know this has been a downfall in years past. I was thinking of installing some roll-up camo material to close up the holes. I would do this with some heavy tan-brown colored felt with something on it to break up the flat surface.
My point: Has anybody sucessfully used cornstalks for non field-hunting camo? I could roll the cornstalks up when the covers aren't in use and they are a natural material. They don't fit with the surroundings but neither does the cedar. Functionally I think they'd work well. Oh yeah, I think I need to take any corn cobs off so I'm not "baiting", right? Is there anything your experiences that says that corn stalks aren't a good idea in this situation?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Mogilny, Jul 7, 2013.
Stop disrespecting Ham Slamwich.
Seems like a very realistic rotation. I'm really interested in seeing Mitchell get some minutes, but they will probably be extremely limited for a while.
Oh man! You are right. I would like to replace Curry with Ham.
Minutes will be hard to come by early, but he'll have a shot at 15 minutes per as soon as any one of our top three bigs gets hurt.
At the moment, yes. English could get better of course. Mejia is now a very well rounded player, and really, with no experience at all I still like him better than the best I have seen from English so far. Mejia's first instinct with the ball is crash it to the rack, and draw the foul. English is a shooter. I like both of them.
Not to criticize, just my thoughts on this rotation. You have 16 minutes of leaderless basketball with Bynum. Meanwhile, Billups seems to strongly want some point guard minutes. My guess, if Billups is half healthy, he is the guy we want to keep our offense organized while Jennings sits. Backup shooting guard. We simply don't have one. Billups really does not want the job, and I would guess that what he has left in the tank will serve us a lot better at 16 minutes a game at point vs. shooting guard. So, we need to get a shooting guard. For certain, we can't use Stuckey as a shooting guard. He is worthless with the ball not in his hands. I see Stuckey as a good solid 3rd string point guard though, one who will actually play some minutes since I don't see Billups staying that healthy all season long. Starting shooting guard we agree on. Pope. Starting point, we obviously agree on. Jennings. Small forward. Most assume Smith will start there. I believe we would be a better team though if we started Smith at power forward, and had Monroe and Drummond take turns starting willy nilly. The main thing, only the likes of Drummond, Smith, and Monroe will see time on at our bigs positions. You got 96 minutes to split at power forward / center, and since Drummond is only good for about 26, it leaves 30 each for Smith and Monroe. Neither should get too tired at that rate. So who do we start at small forward? 6-9 Tony Mitchell.Not ideal at all. But he will rebound the daylights out as a small forward and give us a very solid front line defense. A starting front line of Mitchell, Smith, and Drummond will be needed apparently to clean up from our new starting point guards somewhat poor defense. Backup small forward. Not on the roster yet. Sure, a guy like Pope could play there, but I say let him stay at shooting guard where he can use his decent height to give us a mismatch more often than not. Datome is too slow. JJ, too slow. Singler, too slow. So in all, Dumars has to come up with two more players. A legit shooting guard. (and I would try a guy like Mejia or English before going and spending a lot of money on one.) And some young kid who can do the job defensively for us for the minutes Tony Mitchell sits. (And I kind of like former Alabama player, 6-6 Tony Mitchell, for that.) In all, we should keep it to just two players who are not really, really good on D. Our starting point guard. And Billups, our backup point guard. One poor player on the floor at a time on D can be covered.
Could the Pistons get away with playing Meija and English together at the 3 and 2? (That's like asking if the Bulls could get away with playing Jordan and Pippen together.). That would be a heck of a defensive tandem with a dangerous offensive game. Sent from my iPhone using the keyboard.
I think Rod Stuckey's first, second, third, and fourth instinct with the ball is crash it to the rack and draw the foul. But you didn't even put him in the rotation.
NO. I like Stuckey, but he did not get to the foul line too much last season. (If he did get to the foul line more, hey, we probably never would have needed to draft Knight)
Ok, so if Dumars feels he has to go into the season as the roster currently is, an wait for the trade deadline to see what he can pick up with the expirings of CV and Stuckey, maybe we can come up with a half way decent rotation with what we have. Having not seen Datome play, but yet hearing that even a few years back his lateral quickness was not of NBA quality, I don't want to include him here. But heck, why not for now. Just maybe he can play. I will keep an open mind. But Singler, hey, even with last year's squad, we managed to win a few games with him at shooting guard. And I will include Stuckey as he is better than many on the roster. Start: Jennings, Singler, Datome, Smith, Drummond. 2nd unit: Stuckey, Billups, Pope, Mitchell, Monroe Lots of problems with this rotation. But with what little we have to work with at present, there it is.
When did lateral quickness officially replace bloodflow as the official PF meme?
I lol'd.
Just to defend this rotation a bit though.: One, it keeps Smith at his preferred position of power forward for all of his minutes. Two, You always have either Smith, or Monroe on the floor for a post up game. Three, both units have some ability to shoot the ball, giving the post up guy some room. Four, although the front lines are not the best defensively, the talent there is spread out evenly between the two units. At least we should never at any point have a layup line going for the other team. Five, Billups and Stuckey have played together in the past. They should be able to work out something as to where the ball is primarily in Billups hands, but in Stuckey's enough to let him do his thing too. (and let Billups on occasion knock down a three pointer from an outlet pass.) Six, both units have fast break ability. Seven, I got Singler starting, not Pope. That is because we need Pope to help shore up the defense with a slower Billups in, and of course, a lost in the picks Stuckey.
You know I meant an open mind until I watched 30 seconds of game film on the guy in frame by frame.
I see that you still refuse to include Bynum in your lineup. It was hard for me to understand why you wouldn't want the Bynumite-Drummond combo on the floor. Last season they were probably the most effective duo to see playing time. And then, I figured it out. Sandbagging. Classic Lee, you almost had me there!
Perhaps Lee has an agenda against winning....
My hobby is reviewing game tape. It annoys me no end when in situation after situation, you find Bynum looking up at the action, totally unable to affect the play in any way. This includes watching taller guards just shooting over him as if he were just not in the gym, rebounding situations, and any switches that occur, which makes that mismatch the other team had go from an ant vs. an elephant to gnat vs. a planet. Like what if the other team gets the rebound near their basket? What can Bynum do about it. Just watch, and nothing more. The Pistons do not ever need that to happen this year. Stuckey is not all that bad, and Billups is itching to take the backup point guard minutes.
I would 1000 times rather watch Bynum play basketball than sticky. Even in super slow motion, frame by tedious frame. Just like you can't teach height, you can't teach heart either. Bynum has it. Sticky don't. If all it takes is being tall to play great defense, then Charley V. should be a much, much better defender than Ben Wallace. But Bynum doesn't just have heart. He has handles, a decent shot, excellent court vision, high bball IQ, great ups, fantastic speed, and a cheap contract. Plus, he's best buds with our possible franchise star. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Billups already said that he doesn't want to play 2
I wouldn't expect our PG, whoever he is, to defend the rim against a rebound close to the basket. I would expect that job would be handled by the Center or Forwards.

I've been searching this for a while and haven't found the answer. Ill be buying a Jetpack harness soon and was wanting to know about the coloration on the scuba harness and the buckle. I am currently making a ROTJ SE suit and I came accross this. I know its from the original ROTJ costume but can't seem to find any pics of the harness in the "SE" section of the pictures.
It appears that it was once painted a tan color or khaki and just eventually got worn out. Is this really painted that tan color or is it just the lighting or something else? Also, is it this way on the SE suit?
And the scuba buckle: On some pics it appears to be armor green (panzer green I think some use) or is it silver? Again, I couldn't find any on the SE costume so I'm not sure. I have also seen in some pictures its silver:
Just wanted your opinion

Number Of Asian Private Equity Deals More Than Double, But Values Up Only 40 Percent-McKinsey
Asia-Pacific offered one of the few shining spots for private equity players as the only place where firms' total investment values turned to pre-crisis levels, a new report from McKinsey finds. Across the region, volumes more than doubled, while values have risen by only 40 percent. The size of the average deal is therefore falling.
"The number of Asian deals valued at less than $100 million more than doubled. Meanwhile, the larger deals that garner the most attention (that is, those valued at more than $500 million) showed much less dramatic growth, rising from 16 in 2010 to 24 in 2011, a total that remains well below the 2007 peak of 37%," McKinsey writes.
That echoes increased attention by mutual fund managers to smaller companies, often in smaller markets.
McKinsey outlines some of the trends at play in private equity in its latest white paper:
- Asia is becoming a larger source of M&A activity, where they are the acquirer rather than the target.
- Cornerstone deals where a fund gets into an IPO by agreeing to hold on to shares for a certain time are on the increase.
- A more mature secondary market has increased liquidity and flexibility.
While China accounted for almost 45% of Asia's 2011 activity, the economic slowdown throws its prospects up in the air. As private equity investors become more cautious about investing in China, many are setting their sights on Southeast Asia, McKinsey writes.
- The jury is out on Vietnam - "The principal question about Vietnam is whether the country can continue its current trajectory. Industry players who spoke to us had divergent views about whether the country's prospects are becoming stronger or fading fast."
- Indonesia, however, is an unanimous favorite, McKinsey writes. But so far the private equity market has ben small. Challenges include: Restrictions on foreign ownership in the mining sector and corporate governance issues.
There aren't many diversified ETFs focusing on small-caps in this part of the world to tap into the developments in private equity. The SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Small Cap ETF (EWX) is up 10% this year. But there aren't many ways to play broad, emerging Asia small-caps with an ETF. The SPDR S&P Small Cap Emerging Asia Pacific ETF (GMFS) has just $4 million in assets, and Wisdom Tree is drafting up a small-cap Asia ETF, according to IndexUniverse.

Hey all!
Great to source upon this forum as I am intending to pursue the CertTesol Trinity/CELTA. I would like to enquire about taking the respective courses. I am from Singapore and would like to pursue my interest in TEFL/CELTA. With research, I have listed out that Singapore is offering the CELTA from Cambridge and nothing on the CertTesol Trinity. However, Hong Kong is offering the CertTesol course. My interest is that I would like to head over to HK to embark upon my teaching prospects and chances. Another reason is that my-fiancee-to-be is of HK nationality and that I have grown to like the country. Would it be advisable to take the CertTesol course in HK itself or the CELTA in Singapore? What are the advantages if I were to have the course in HK? Full time or part time? Anyone have had similar experiences or advise, do enlighten me on this issue. Cheers!

REPORT: Van Susteren's imbalanced treatment of health care reform constitutionality
Following the House of Representatives' passage of the Senate health care reform bill, Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren has featured an imbalanced roster of guests to discuss constitutional challenges to the legislation. Between March 21 and April 6, Van Susteren hosted 15 guests who claimed the bill is "unconstitutional," including many attorneys general who are planning to sue over the bill, compared to only one guest who argued the bill is "constitutional"; Van Susteren also hosted one attorney general who is involved with the legal challenges, but said only that the legislation was "unprecedented" without taking a position on its constitutionality.
On the Record hosted 15 guests who say the health care bill is "unconstitutional," and only one who called it "constitutional"
The following is a list of the guests who appeared on On the Record to discuss the constitutional challenges to health care reform and the dates they appeared:
Ken Cuccinelli (R-VA), Attorney General [3/22/2010, 4/2/2010]
Henry McMaster (R-SC), Attorney General [3/22/2010]
Bill McCollum (R-FL), Attorney General [3/22/2010, 4/2/2010]
Jon Bruning (R-NE), Attorney General [3/23/2010]
Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Senator [3/24/2010]
Bob McDonnell (R-VA), Governor [3/24/2010, 4/2/2010]
Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Senator [3/24/2010]
Sarah Palin (R), Fox News Contributor [3/26/2010]

J.B. Van Hollen (R-WI), Attorney General [4/2/2010]
Mark Hutchison, Nevada lawyer [4/6/2010]
Jan Brewer (R-AZ), Governor [4/6/2010]
No position on constitutionality
Greg Zoeller (R-IN), Attorney General [4/5/2010]
Jennifer Granholm (D-MI), Governor [3/26/2010]
On the Record guests repeatedly questioned health care bill's constitutionality without challenge
Cuccinelli: "The individual mandate" to purchase insurance "overreaches the authority of the Congress." Appearing on the March 22 edition of On the Record, Cuccinelli stated that "[t]he unconstitutional aspect is that the individual mandate on Americans that they must buy health insurance or face penalties overreaches the authority of the Congress under the commerce clause," while acknowledging "[t]here are no cases directly on point with what we're dealing with. Otherwise, this wouldn't be such an open question." [accessed via Nexis]
McMaster: Health care reform is "an assault on the state sovereignty and the liberty of the people, and it's got to be stopped." On the March 22 edition of On the Record, McMaster asserted: "The big question is, what does the Congress think gives them the authority to require people all over the country to buy health insurance if they don't want to buy it? There's nothing in the Constitution that allows that, and the 10th Amendment expressly prohibits it." McMaster also said the bill is an "assault on the state sovereignty and the liberty of the people, and it's got to be stopped." [accessed via Nexis]
McCollum: Health care reform is "taking the states' resources and putting it to use for the federal government's purposes." McCollum, appearing on the March 23 edition of On the Record, called the bill a "sweeping attack not only on rights of an individual to be free from the federal government telling them they have to buy a product or service. They could require you under the premise that would be in this bill to go out and buy a car or to go out and buy membership in a club or something." He also claimed the bill is "taking the states' resources and putting it to use for the federal government's purposes and manipulating the states to their end to a degree that is beyond the sovereign protections in the constitution for states." [accessed via Nexis]
Hatch: "They want to force people to do whatever they want them to do. That's what you call totalitarianism." On the March 24 edition of On the Record, Hatch said the individual mandate would amount to "the first time that your liberties would be taken away from you where you would be forced to do something you don't want to do. I just don't think that's constitutionally sound," and "[t]hey want to force people to do whatever they want them to do. That's what you call totalitarianism." [accessed via Nexis]
Gibbons: If health care passes, "[t]here's no reason to stop the federal government from deciding on what you eat that day." On the April 6 edition of On the Record, Gibbons claimed that if the individual mandate passes with health care reform, "all of our Article 1, Section 7 limitations of federal power are for naught. They're out the window. There's no reason to stop the federal government from deciding on what you eat that day." Gibbons also called the legislation a "trespass on the rights of the citizen." [accessed via Nexis]
Fox News has been home to GOP AG's who wish to overturn health care reform
Continuing their activism [1] against health care reform since the House passed its landmark legislation, Fox News and the Fox Business Network have hosted [2] numerous Republican state attorneys general, giving them a platform to promote efforts to overturn that legislation through the courts. Many legal scholars have disputed the primary claim of the attorneys general that the bill is unconstitutional because it requires people to have health insurance.
Conservative legal scholars, other experts says bill is constitutional
Conservative law professor Adler: Supreme Court precedent would support constitutionality of mandate as part of "overarching regulatory scheme." In an August 22, 2009, blog post [3], Case Western Reserve Law professor Jonathan Adler stated that while he opposed Democratic health reform efforts, he could not support the argument that "neither the power to 'regulate commerce among the several states' nor the taxing and spending power could support" the health insurance mandate. He wrote:
As much as I oppose the various health care reforms promoted by the Obama Administration and current Congressional leadership (and as much as I would like to see a more restrictive commerce clause jurisprudence), I do not find this argument particularly convincing. While I agree that the recent commerce clause cases hold that Congress may not regulate noneconomic activity, as such, they also state that Congress may reach otherwise unregulable conduct as part of an overarching regulatory scheme, where the regulation of such conduct is necessary and proper to the success of such scheme. In this case, the overall scheme would involve the regulation of "commerce" as the Supreme Court has defined it for several decades, as it would involve the regulation of health care markets. And the success of such a regulatory scheme would depend upon requiring all to participate. (Among other things, if health care reform requires insurers to issue insurance to all comers, and prohibits refusals for pre-existing conditions, then a mandate is necessary to prevent opportunistic behavior by individuals who simply wait to purchase insurance until they get sick.)
Adler [4] is a contributing editor at National Review Online, a member of and has been honored by the Federalist Society, has worked for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and is a member of the Cato Institute's Supreme Court Review Academic Advisory Board.
Opponent of individual mandate Kerr: "I would expect a 9-0 (or possibly 8-1) vote to uphold the individual mandate." In a blog post, George Washington University law professor Orin Kerr, who served as a special counsel [5] to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) during Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation proceedings, stated [6]:
In my view, there is a less than 1% chance that courts will invalidate the individual mandate as exceeding Congress's Article I power. I tend to doubt the issue will get to the Supreme Court: The circuits will be splitless, I expect, and the Supreme Court will decline to hear the case. In the unlikely event a split arises and the Court does take it, I would expect a 9-0 (or possibly 8-1) vote to uphold the individual mandate.
Blogging about such issues tends to bring out some unhappy responses, so let me be clear about a few things: (a) I don't like the individual mandate, (b) if I were a legislator, I wouldn't have voted for it, (c) I don't like modern commerce clause doctrine, (d) if I were magically made a Supreme Court Justice in the mid 20th century, I wouldn't have supported the expansion of the commerce clause so that it covers, well, pretty much everything, (e) I agree that the individual mandate exceeds an originalist understanding of the Commerce Clause, and (f) I agree that legislators and the public are free to interpret the Constitution differently than the courts and to vote against (or ask their legislator to vote against) the legislation on that basis.
But with all of these caveats, I'll stand by my prediction.
CRS: "[I]t seems possible that Congress could enact an individual coverage requirement that would pass constitutional muster." In a July 24, 2009, report [7] that analyzed a hypothetical mandate, not any specific proposal, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service stated in the report's summary: "While it seems possible that Congress could enact an individual coverage requirement that would pass constitutional muster, there are various constitutional considerations relevant to the enactment of such a proposal." Later, the CRS report stated: "While there is no specific enumerated power to regulate health care or establish an individual coverage requirement, one can look to Congress's other broad enumerated powers which have been used to justify social programs in the past. In the instant case, both Congress's taxing and spending power, as well as its power to regulate interstate commerce, could be applicable." The report further found that "if Congress chose to require individuals to have health insurance by levying a tax, then using the revenue for funding health benefits" -- which the bill signed into law does -- "this could be viewed as an appropriate use of Congress's taxing and spending power."
Cornell law professor Dorf rejects both "libertarian" and "federalism" objections to mandate. In a November 2 FindLaw.com article, Cornell law professor Michael C. Dorf [8] wrote [9] that he "rejected" what he described as the "libertarian" "objection that an individual mandate would be an unprecedented burden on liberty because it would affirmatively direct conduct, rather than either forbidding conduct or imposing affirmative obligations on only those who engage in conduct that the government has the power to forbid." He added that "there are substantial precedents for such affirmative obligations and even if there were not, there is no reason in principle why an affirmative duty is a greater restriction on liberty than a prohibition or condition." He also assessed the "federalism objection" to the mandate's constitutionality. Dorf noted that there "is nothing in the text or history of the Constitution to support" the conclusion that the Constitution forbids Congress from mandating that individuals engage in market activity. Dorf then cited the landmark 1819 McCulloch v. Maryland [10] case, which states: "Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional." Dorf also wrote [9] that "the individual mandate is 'plainly adapted' to the undoubtedly legitimate end of regulating the enormous and enormously important health-care sector of the national economy. It is therefore constitutional."
UC Irvine dean Chemerinsky: Constitutionality of reform proposal, including mandate, supported by "unbroken line of precedents stretching back 70 years." In an October 23, 2009, Politico piece [11], University of California-Irvine dean Erwin Chemerinsky [12] stated, "Under an unbroken line of precedents stretching back 70 years, Congress has the power to regulate activities that, taken cumulatively, have a substantial effect on interstate commerce." Chemerinsky further stated:
Those opposing health care reform are increasingly relying on an argument that has no legal merit: that the health care reform legislation would be unconstitutional. There is, of course, much to debate about how to best reform America's health care system. But there is no doubt that bills passed by House and Senate committees are constitutional.
Some who object to the health care proposals claim that they are beyond the scope of congressional powers. Specifically, they argue that Congress lacks the authority to compel people to purchase health insurance or pay a tax or a fine.
Congress clearly could do this under its power pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to regulate commerce among the states. The Supreme Court has held that this includes authority to regulate activities that have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. In the area of economic activities, "substantial effect" can be found based on the cumulative impact of the activity across the country. For example, a few years ago, the Supreme Court held that Congress could use its commerce clause authority to prohibit individuals from cultivating and possessing small amounts of marijuana for personal medicinal use because marijuana is bought and sold in interstate commerce.
Wake Forest law professor Hall says mandate falls within Congress' regulatory and taxing powers. In an August 2009 blog post, Wake Forest law professor Mark Hall [13] wrote that "Congress has ample power and precedent through the Constitution's "Commerce Clause" to regulate just about any aspect of the national economy. Health insurance is quintessentially an economic good." He further stated that "even if a simple mandate were not a valid "regulation," it still could fall easily within Congress's plenary power to tax or not tax income."
Fordham law school dean Treanor: Mandate consistent "with well-established precedent that runs back more than 70 years." NPR reported [14]:
But William Treanor, the dean of Fordham University's law school, said he's confident an individual mandate would be held constitutional if it went to the Supreme Court. Treanor said the mandate to buy health insurance would be seen by the high court as part of Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce.
"The view that it's not consistent with the enumerated powers is at odds with well-established precedent that runs back more than 70 years," he said. "I think this is very clearly something that Congress can do under the commerce clause power."
John Marshall Law professor Schwinn: Mandate "all too squarely falls within the recent and settled jurisprudence." In a September 25 blog post [15], John Marshall Law School professor Steven Schwinn [16] concluded that "the individual mandate all too squarely falls within the recent and settled jurisprudence," writing that "an individual mandate is almost certainly the kind of economic activity that the Court would uphold under Congress's Commerce Clause authority" based on recent claims that "allow Congress to regulate activities that have a "substantial effect" on interstate commerce."
Yale law professor Amar reportedly says mandate enforces through taxation would be an exercise of "fundamental constitutional power." NPR further reported: "Yale legal scholar Akhil Amar said the fact that a requirement to buy health insurance would be enforced through fines shows Congress is exercising an even more fundamental constitutional power: its power to impose taxes. Amar says courts should not be concerned that such a mandate has not been used before. 'There's a first time for everything. Before there was a federal bank, there was no federal bank; before there was a Social Security Administration, there was no Social Security Administration,' Amar said. 'Have we ever had a law just like this before? No. That's why it's being proposed. That's true of many laws.'"
UC-Hastings law professor Massey: Mandate constitutional as part of regulation of health care market. In an August 23, 2009, blog post [17], University of California-Hastings law professor Calvin Massey [18] cited Adler's blog post, writing: "after Gonzales v. Raich the commerce power permits regulation of activities that, standing alone, might not be permissible but which are subject to regulation because their regulation is necessary and proper to the accomplishment of a valid larger regulatory scheme. No doubt Congress may regulate the market of health care insurance and requiring everybody to buy insurance is necessary and proper to the accomplishment of the scheme. As Adler notes, if insurers must insure all comers it is necessary and proper to require people to buy insurance before they are ill."
Yale Law professor Balkin: Supreme Court "would have to reject decades of precedents" to find mandate unconstitutional. In a February 11 article [19] in the New England Journal of Medicine, Yale law professor Jack Balkin [20] stated that passage of an individual mandate would be constitutional under both the General Welfare Clause relating to Congress' taxing power and the Commerce Clause. He concluded: "Although opponents will challenge the individual mandate in court, constitutional challenges are unlikely to succeed. The Supreme Court will probably not even consider the issue unless a federal court of appeals strikes the tax down. In that unlikely event, the Supreme Court will almost certainly uphold the tax, at least if it follows existing law. To strike down the individual mandate, it would have to reject decades of precedents. It is very unlikely that there are five votes on the current Court for staging such a constitutional revolution."
NSCLC's Lazarus: Arguments that individual mandate is unconstitutional "have no basis in law." In a December 2009 paper for the American Constitution Society, National Senior Citizen Law Center public policy counsel Simon Lazarus stated [21] that arguments that the individual mandate is unconstitutional "have no basis in law, neither in the grants of authority to Congress in Article I nor in limitations on that authority in the Bill of Rights, nor in the case law interpreting these provisions. Opponents' real grievance is with the law in its current state. Their hope is that a majority of the Supreme Court will seize on a challenge to mandatory health insurance as an occasion to make major changes in current law." Lazarus argued that an individual mandate constituted a regulation of interstate commerce. But he noted that, even if the courts were to disagree, in a concurring opinion in Gonzales v. Raich, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote [22]: "Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce."

Rankings Directory
Saturday: West State Rankings
Keep an Eye On: With smooth, natural change of direction Oklahoma State verbal Jerel Morrow could develop in to a true lock-down corner in college.
The Missouri Top 20 is led by St. Louis John Burroughs running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott will decide between Ohio State and Missouri on National Signing Day. He an all-around back with great explosion and speed to make big plays happen. He could be an instant impact type of player in college and is versatile enough that he even got looks at safety during U.S. Army All-American Bowl practices.
Keep an Eye On: Hogan Prep star Anthony Sherrils who will likely end up playing in the defensive backfield at Missouri. At No. 8 in the state he could easily be argued up the list, he was in the fight for the No. 5 spot.
The Nebraska Top 5 is topped by Lincoln Southwest defensive lineman Christian Lacouture, who actually only lived in the state for a very short amount of time. He moved to Lincoln because of his commitment to the Big Red, but made a decommitment right after the prep season ended, committed to LSU and very promptly moved to Baton Rouge to begin his career in the SEC as an early enrollee. Keep an Eye On: Josh Banderas would have been the top-rated star in the state. The U.S. Army All-American has great size and plays with passion.
The Oklahoma Top 20 is led by Southmoore High defensive D.J. Ward, an Oklahoma commit. In quite a unique situation Ward ends up as the top pick despite the fact that he did not even play a snap as a senior in 2012 because of an OSSSA transfer rule that made him ineligible.
Keep an Eye On: Tahlequah Sequoyah quarterback Brayden Scott, who will play for former OU star Justin Fuente at Memphis. A dual-threat with some moxy.
The Texas Top 125 is led by A'Shawn Robinson from Fort Worth Arlington Heights. A two-way player in high school, who has drawn comparison to Nadamukong Suh for his spirited play at times. He is actually a little bigger physically than Suh is right now, but has the same type of frame and shows flashes of that intensity and high level of play that made Suh so special at Nebraska and in the NFL.
Keep an Eye On: Another Fort Worth star in Southwest High wide receiver Robbie Rhodes. The big-bodied wideout is drawing comparisons to Justin Blackmon and is the highest rated Baylor commitment in the history of Scout.com.


text: Speaking of rookies. I know Memphis is far out of the playoff picture at the moment. But they don't plan to stay there. Conley is back from injury and starting at point now for them. Further, Stoudemire is not playing at all for them. Rather, Lowry is doing all the backup point guard minutes. Memphis is a far better team now, for playing a rookie, and a guy who only played 10 games last year in his rookie season. Further, Navarro is a rookie. Today, he finished out the win for Memphis. Oh yeah, and Rudy Gay is just in his 2nd year, and has pretty much passed Gasol as their top scorer.

Ultrasonic Cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaners
New Toy!
Hi all, I'm new on this forum and I've been trying to scour the site for some information, so I apologize if somewhere buried are answers to my questions.
Who here has used an ultrasonic to clean their hand guns?
I'm in the diamond/jewelry business and we have a few of different sizes (certainly big enough for the slide,barrel, etc.).
I've heard of people also dunking their frames in as well but with many made from polymer, I'm cautious with that. I have a Sig P226 with a polymer frame and a P220 Combat with an alloy frame.
What I'd like to do if I can perfect this type of cleaning is to offer the cleaning service to our local PD (for a very nominal charge) as a courtesy. BUT, I need to know that it's done correctly and that service weapon will be GOOD TO GO once we've had it (for obvious reasons).
I've seen a few different solutions, one to clean then one that lubricates. It's quite hands off and with the ultrasonic, it cleans all those nooks and crannies and lubricates everything.
I'd sure like to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!

Krebs @ 300 celebrates the 300th birthday of Bach's star pupil, Johann Ludwig Krebs, baptized October 12, 1713. Like Bach, Krebs wrote in a variety of different genres, and this program showcases Krebs's diversity with his cantata Jesu, meine Freude and the Concerto in B Minor for Harpsichord and Oboe, as well as works for chamber ensemble and solo harpsichord. Although many of his works betray the strong influence of Bach, Krebs also wrote pieces in the newer manner and combined older contrapuntal writing with galant and Sturm und Drang styles. This concert takes place on opening day of the New York Early Music Celebration.

Low level cloud over tropical Queensland, Victoria and southeast SA are due to the onshore flows driven by a high pressure centred over southeast Australia. Skies are mostly clear over the remainder of country under a ridge of high pressure.


text: If Jennings keeps going the way he is going (focus on passing but threat to score, offensive jumpstarter, transition leader) there is no reason why he cannot turn into a fantastic floor general. He just needs to calm down a bit. KCP is looking like a seriously good wing defender. He needs to make more offensive cuts and develop his awareness. Smith is a PF, and an all around good player. Drummond could be a superstar. We need a small forward.
