Coach Katrina!
My son is 4 and a half. He has had a recent, how shall I say it…surge in his energy level? He's exhausting. All he wants to do is go go go! So last Spring, I was soliciting advice on facebook about what to do keep him entertained. A few Webster moms recommended sport sampler classes that the town offers.It sounded perfect. But if I don't have to leave I-town, I don't. I thought I would just peruse the I-town "Activity Guide" digital edition and see what they had to offer. Lo and behold- there were several sport samplers! I signed my son, Josh, up for a class called "Rookie Sports."
It was a wonderful experience.
So I signed him for some more classes. And some more. The classes are really great; they are exactly what I wanted to for my son: fun, psychically demanding and loosely (and I mean this in the best way) educational. There have been a few different coaches for these classes. (If you are wondering, Josh took Rookie Sports, Sprouty Sports, Soccer Camp and is currently enrolled in Rookie Track and Field- I told you- the kid needs to MOVE!)
They have all been nice coaches, but Josh's favorite is definitely Coach Katrina. He has made up a song about her that he sings all day long. The riveting lyrics are: "Coach Katrina! Town of Irondequoit! Coach Katrina! Town of Irondequoit!" He is really smitten.
I got a chance to talk with Katrina a bit and learned that she is actually the Recreation Supervisor for the town. Ms Hall is working hard to bring a strong youth program back to I-town, as apparently most programs had dwindled back in 2009. When we spoke on the phone, she told me her first goal is to grow the "lower elementary programs, focusing on 2,3 and 4 year olds." And she is doing a great job. If you have young kids, and you don't peruse the Activity Guide, I think you are missing out. They have so many options for kids, and not just sporty stuff- art, cooking, even Spanish!
Even is you have a toddler, there are many "Tiny Tot" options out there. I had a playdate with a friend in Webster, and we went to their, "Come and Play"- a genius idea. The town of Webster has a gym set up full of toddler outdoor stuff- slides, houses, balls- and you can let your kid run wild while you talk/run interference. I left come and play thinking, I wish I-town did something like this…And guess what? It is on this seasons schedule- thanks to Ms Hall who is constantly looking at other towns brochures to see what they have to offer. (It is called Pre-K Play).
Ms Hall is also interested in parent feedback. Even though she was not the "Sprouty Sport" coach, she stopped down to Camp Eastman to check out the class and talk to parents. After the class, she sent us all surveys, and genuinely listened to our suggestions. (One of which was to make the classes cheaper- which they did! These classes are a bargain).
Of course- space is an issue. That "Come and Play" in Webster- it was in their new community center. We don't have that luxury. Ms Hall intimated that the "lack of a gym is tricky." Trying to create a variety of programs that meet at variety of times without a variety of space is a challenge. But so far, Ms Hall seems to be faring just fine.
I hate to hear a young family say they are moving to another suburb because it has "more to offer." As my late mother would say, "Wherever you go, there you are." If you are in I-town, see what we have to offer. https://www.irondequoitrec.com/programguide/index.html We may not have a fancy community or aquatic center (yet!), but we do have some really great programs- thanks to enthusiastic people like Katrina Hall.

Classification and external resources | |
Specialty | Pathology |
A benign tumor is a mass of cells (tumor) that lacks the ability to invade neighboring tissue or metastasize. These characteristics are required for a tumor to be defined as cancerous and therefore benign tumors are non-cancerous. Also, benign tumors generally have a slower growth rate than malignant tumors and the tumor cells are usually more differentiated (cells have normal features).[1][2][3] Benign tumors are typically surrounded by an outer surface (fibrous sheath of connective tissue) or remain with the epithelium.[4] Common examples of benign tumors include moles and uterine fibroids.
Although benign tumors will not metastasize or locally invade tissues, some types may still produce negative health effects. The growth of benign tumors produces a "mass effect" that can compress tissues and may cause nerve damage, reduction of blood to an area of the body (ischaemia), tissue death (necrosis) and organ damage. The mass effect of tumors are more prominent if the tumor is within an enclosed space such as the cranium, respiratory tract, sinus or inside bones. Tumors of endocrine tissues may overproduce certain hormones, especially when the cells are well differentiated. Examples include thyroid adenomas and adrenocortical adenomas.[1]
Although most benign tumors are not life-threatening, many types of benign tumors have the potential to become cancerous (malignant) through a process known as tumour progression.[5] For this reason and other possible negative health effects, some benign tumors are removed by surgery.[6]

Reference[7] |
Benign neoplasms are typically but not always composed of cells which bear a strong resemblance to a normal cell type in their organ of origin. These tumors are named for the cell or tissue type from which they originate, followed by the suffix "-oma" (but not -carcinoma, -sarcoma, or -blastoma, which are generally cancers). For example, a lipoma is a common benign tumor of fat cells (lipocytes), and a chondroma is a benign tumor of cartilage-forming cells (chondrocytes). Adenomas are benign tumors of gland-forming cells, and are usually specified further by their cell or organ of origin, as in hepatic adenoma (a benign tumor of hepatocytes, or liver cells). Teratomas contain many cell types such as skin, nerve, brain and thyroid, among others, because they are derived from germ cells.[3] Hamartomas are a group of benign tumors that have relatively normal cellular differentiation but the architecture of the tissue is disorganised.[8] There are a few cancers with 'benign-sounding' names which have been retained for historical reasons, including melanoma (a cancer of pigmented skin cells, or melanocytes) and seminoma (a cancer of male reproductive cells).[9] Skin tags, vocal chord polyps and hyperplastic polyps of the colon are often referred to as benign but they are actually overgrowths of normal tissue rather than neoplasms.[3]
Health effects[edit]
Benign tumors are very diverse, and may be asymptomatic or may cause specific symptoms depending on their anatomic location and tissue type. They grow outwards, producing large rounded masses, which can cause what is known as a "mass effect". This growth can cause compression of local tissues or organs, which can cause many effects such as blockage of ducts, reduced blood flow (ischaemia), tissue death (necrosis) and nerve pain or damage.[1] Some tumors also produce hormones that can lead to life-threatening situations. Insulinomas can produce large amounts of insulin leading to hypoglycemia.[10][11] Pituitary adenomas can cause elevated levels of hormones such as growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1, which cause acromegaly; prolactin; ACTH and cortisol, which cause Cushings disease; TSH, which causes hyperthyroidism; and FSH and LH.[12] Bowel intussusception can occur with various benign colonic tumors.[13] Cosmetic effects can be caused by tumors, especially those of the skin, possibly causing psychological effects on the person with the tumor.[14] Vascular tumors can bleed, which in some cases can be substantial, leading to anemia.[15]
PTEN hamartoma syndrome[edit]
PTEN hamartoma syndrome comprises four distinct hamartomatous disorders characterised by genetic mutations in the PTEN gene; Cowden syndrome, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, Proteus syndrome and Proteus-like syndrome. Although they all have distinct clinical features, the formation of hamartomas is present in all four syndromes. PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene that is involved in cellular signalling. Absent or dysfunctional PTEN protein allows cells to over-proliferate, causing hamartomas.[16]
Cowden syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterised by multiple benign hamartomas (trichilemmomas and mucocutaneous papillomatous papules) as well as a predisposition for cancers of multiple organs including the breast and thyroid.[17][18] Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome is a congenital disorder characterised by hamartomatous intestinal polyposis, macrocephaly, lipomatosis, hemangiomatosis and glans penis macules.[16][19] Proteus syndrome is characterised by nevi, asymmetric overgrowth of various body parts, adipose tissue dysregulation, cystadenomas, adenomas, vascular malformation.[20][21]
Familial adenomatous polyposis[edit]
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a familial cancer syndrome caused by mutations in the APC gene. In this disorder adenomatous polyps are present in the colon that invariably progress into colon cancer.[22] The APC gene is a tumor suppressor and its product is involved in many cellular processes. Inactivation of the APC gene leads to a buildup of a protein called β-catenin, which activates two transcription factors; T-cell factor (TCF) and lymphoid enhancer factor (LEF). These cause the upregulation of many genes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis (programmed cell death), causing the growth of benign tumors.[23]
Tuberous sclerosis complex[edit]
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by mutations in the genesTSC1 and TSC2, which produce the proteins hamartin and tuberin, respectively. This disorder presents with many benign hamartomatous tumors including angiofibromas, renal angiomyolipomas, pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis. Tuberin and hamartin inhibit the mTOR protein in normal cellular physiology and the inactivation of the TSC tumour suppressors causes an increase in mTOR activity. This leads to the activation of genes and the production of proteins that increase cell growth.[8][24][25]
Von Hippel-Lindau disease[edit]
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is a dominantly inherited cancer syndrome that massively increases the risk of various tumors including benign hemangioblastomas and malignant pheochromocytomas, renal cell carcinomas, pancreatic endocrine tumors and endolymphatic sac tumors. It is caused by genetic mutations in the Von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor gene. The VHL protein (pVHL) is involved in cellular signalling in oxygen starved (hypoxic) cells. One role of pVHL is to cause the cellular degradation of another protein, HIF1α. Dysfunctional pVHL leads to accumulation of HIF1α, which in turn activates the production of several genes involved in cell growth and blood vessel production (VEGF, PDGFβ, TGFα and erythropoietin).[26]
Benign vs malignant[edit]
One of the most important factors in classifying a tumor as benign or malignant is its invasive potential. If a tumor lacks the ability to invade adjacent tissues or spread to distant sites by metastasizing then it is benign, whereas invasive or metastatic tumours are malignant.[1] For this reason, benign tumours are not classed as cancer.[2] Benign tumors will grow in a contained area usually encapsulated in a fibrous connective tissue capsule. The growth rates of benign and malignant tumors also differ; benign tumors generally grow more slowly than malignant tumors. Although benign tumors pose a lower health risk than malignant tumors, they both can be life-threatening in certain situations. There are many general characteristics which apply to either benign or malignant tumors, but sometimes one type may show characteristics of the other. For example, benign tumors are mostly well differentiated and malignant tumors are often undifferentiated. However, undifferentiated benign tumors and differentiated malignant tumors can occur.[27][28] Although benign tumors generally grow slowly, cases of fast-growing benign tumors have also been documented.[29] Some malignant tumors are mostly non-metastatic such as in the case of basal cell carcinoma.[3] CT and chest radiography can be a useful diagnostic exam in visualizing a benign tumour and differentiating it from a malignant tumor. The smaller the tumor on a radiograph the more likely it is to be benign as 80% of lung nodules less than 2 cm in diameter are benign. Most benign nodules are smoothed radiopaque densities with clear margins but these are not exclusive signs of benign tumors.[30]
Multistage carcinogenesis[edit]
Tumours are formed by carcinogenesis, a process in which cellular alterations lead to the formation of cancer. Multistage carcinogenesis involves the sequential genetic or epigenetic changes to a cell's DNA, where each step produces a more advanced tumour. It is often broken down into three stages; initiation, promotion and progression, and several mutations may occur at each stage. Initiation is where the first genetic mutation occurs in a cell. Promotion is the clonal expansion (repeated division) of this transformed cell into a visible tumour that is usually benign. Following promotion, progression may take place where more genetic mutations are acquired in a sub-population of tumor cells. Progression changes the benign tumor into a malignant tumor.[5][31] A prominent and well studied example of this phenomenon is the tubular adenoma, a common type of colon polyp which is an important precursor to colon cancer. The cells in tubular adenomas, like most tumors which frequently progress to cancer, show certain abnormalities of cell maturation and appearance collectively known as dysplasia. These cellular abnormalities are not seen in benign tumors that rarely or never turn cancerous, but are seen in other pre-cancerous tissue abnormalities which do not form discrete masses, such as pre-cancerous lesions of the uterine cervix. Some authorities[who?] prefer to refer to dysplastic tumors as "pre-malignant", and reserve the term "benign" for tumors which rarely or never give rise to cancer.[citation needed]
Some benign tumors need no treatment; others may be removed if they cause problems such as seizures, discomfort or cosmetic concerns. Surgery is usually the most effective approach and is used to treat most benign tumors. In some case other treatments may be of use. Adenomas of the rectum may be treated with sclerotherapy, a treatment in which chemicals are used to shrink blood vessels in order to cut off the blood supply.[15] Most benign tumors do not respond to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, although there are exceptions; benign intercranial tumors are sometimes treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy under certain circumstances.[32][33] Radiation can also be used to treat hemangiomas in the rectum.[15] Benign skin tumors are usually surgically ressected but other treatments such as cryotherapy, curettage, electrodesiccation, laser therapy, dermabrasion, chemical peels and topical medication are used.[34][35]

Wool consists of the cortex, overlapping scales (sharper and more protruding than those of hair) that may expand at their free edges causing fibers to intermesh; elasticum, the inner layer; and a core. When soaked, the elasticum and core contract, shrinking the fiber. Elasticity resulting from the molecular structure of wool and resiliency from its crimp make wool fabrics crease resistant. Fine wool will stretch one third its length. Wool is warm because its fibers are nonconductors of heat and its crimp permits it to enmesh still air. It is highly absorbent and releases moisture slowly. Its tensile strength is one fourth greater than that of cotton. A protein compound of complex chemical composition, it is soluble in hot caustic soda.

How to Prepare Your Garden for the Effects of Global Warming
Notice how your plants are blooming later and later every year--or not blooming at all? Yep: it's global warming, which everyone who starts their morning with the Drudge Report insists doesn't exist--and, if it does exist, why bother stopping it since Mother Earth's march is unstoppable?
Thankfully, cooler (pardon the pun) heads are out there to help you get through the new normal.
Science reports that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has partnered up with the American Public Gardens Association (APGA) at a garden in Pennsylvania to teach the public about the rise in temperatures over the years, and how it's affecting gardening techniques. For instance, the hosts reported that through their tracking, they've seen "that plants are flowering earlier on average 1 day per decade over the last 150 years," which averages out to plants now flowering two weeks earlier now than when they usually did.
How long until we get apples in the spring?

does anyone here use a windows phone? I was wondering how much data would you use in a month compared to using something like an iphone or s3? I'm interested in switching but I'm worried about the data usage, for example those live tiles. Any help would be appreciated
I use one and have never run out of "Data Time" with the phone. I believe when is phone is "asleep" no data time is being used.
Not sure how the data works, but I can tell you that the Microsoft store is extremely generous. The employees are a lot more helpful and friendly, unlike the stuck-up apple employees. My mom had the HTC radar for about six months, and there were lots of problems with it- so when the Lumia 920 and Windows 8X came out they gave her a free one(she chose 8X). It just about last week here calender would not work so they just gave her another phone. Unfortunately its only the stores that are good: tech support is awful...
The data usage shouldn't have too much of a difference compared to Android. You would still have email to auto sync, facebook, stuff like that. In Windows, its just about the same thing. Besides, if you would like to save your data usage, leave it off until theres a point where you NEED to use it. On Android, theres a data manager from the app store which does help me control how much i use. Sync all your data using apps at once to save data then shut off your data. Whats your data cap? If its >500, then you shouldnt have a problem with windows. If you REALLY need an app to keep track of your data, i can either go find one for you or make one for you. Try posting this on XDA-Developers forum.

Betty Interviews
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: On Design and "The View"
Exclusive interview with The View's ultra-conservative team member
-Jennifer Goodkind, A Fashionable Life
You may remember Elisabeth Hasselbeck as a contestant on Survivor: The Australian Outback (where she finished fourth), or you may simply know her as the bubbly and youngest co-host of The View.
And let's face it, whether you like her politics or not, Hasselbeck is an admirable force to be reckoned with. The mother of two (pregnant with her third), who is married to her college sweetheart and hunky NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, has a full-time gig on America's hottest daytime talk show and has just returned to her fashion-design roots with her own line for QVC Dialogue. She really is doing it all.
Elisabeth has become The View's solo and maligned mouthpiece for conservative Republican opinions–opinions that are not even remotely shared by The View's other co-hosts. She is usually the single dissenter in all heated political discussions amidst a couch of liberals and is often the target of attacks from the other ladies on the couch. (Nonetheless, the women of The View recently won the honorable title of TIME magazine's 100 most influential women.)
I sat down with Elisabeth to talk about what it's like to be in the middle of the "couch crossfire," what designing her own line for QVC has taught her, and what her idea of happiness is.
BettyConfidential: Your design career started at Puma shoes, where you were a member of the design team. You come well equipped to design the line Dialogue for QVC. Did you go into this venture feeling confident because of your past design experience?
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: I am in love with this project. It is a special time. I love design. It's in my blood. My dad is an architect, and this truly is a great opportunity. My senior year in college was spent doing an independent study project for industrial design at Reebok where I had a fantastic mentor who taught me everything. After I graduated, I went to Puma, where I worked with a fantastic team of creative talent (who happened to be all guys). They were willing to take me under their wings and show me what worked for them and what didn't. They were so accepting of letting me bring my sense of fun into the shoes. I went on from there and designed my own wedding gown.
Then on The View I was so fortunate to be able to design a couture wedding gown for one of our viewers, which had so much meaning to me as I got to know her. I started to take over my daughter's crayons to sketch outfits, which helped with the realization that I needed to do something on a bigger scale with my design, and my desire to express myself through design. Being able to partner with QVC and give their Dialogue line my own perspective has been phenomenal.
BC: Tell us about Dialogue!
EH: My love of fashion, design and of course, a good bargain has all come together with Dialogue. You don't have to restructure the mortgage on your home to buy a jacket! You can put together a wardrobe that works for you right now in this economic climate. The QVC woman is a smart shopper; she knows what she wants. The prices are great without sacrificing quality. I love that the line is called Dialogue. That worked for me, that's what I do every day on The View.
BC: You have said that you don't want to be defined by the word conservative, and yet on The View you have been the conservative voice. How can you get around the fact that you are known as the conservative Republican who ultimately always holds the minority opinion on the couch?
EH: I believe that we live in a country where we should all have our own perspective even if it's not shared by everyone. The United States was founded on freedom of speech, freedom to practice all religions. We should all be able to respect one another whether we agree or agree to disagree. That's what is so special about The View. Not only do we love one another, but we celebrate the fact that even though we don't always agree on everything, we respect each other. I have never let anyone else define me. I always say, "It's just my opinion, you don't have to share it."
BC: I think even people who don't share your political views still have compassion when you're in the position of one against four. Do you feel intimidated?
EH: I am definitely not intimidated, but I will credit the women of The View for not letting me feel that way. I have known from day one that we were all about respect and honesty. This is a loving environment where I could say, "Hey, what did you mean when you said that?" We deal with things right on the spot. Everybody knows that we get to that moment of clarity right there and we truly do love each other more for sharing our true perspectives on the issues at hand. I was brought up in a home where it was OK not to agree with everybody. I find it energizing more than intimidating. Sure, it gets emotional, but we often tackle issues that evoke passionate feelings and opinions.
BC: To ask the question 'what does the future hold' would be a little silly with your third baby due in August. Are you looking forward to the summer heat while in your third trimester? How will you handle your demanding schedule and family?
EH: I have been working so hard on all the finishing touches for Dialogue since I will be premiering the newest collection on May 26. I always put my family first and look forward to putting my feet up at the end of the day. I have had great pregnancies. It's the after that I worry about. I don't recover as quickly as I'd like to, but we'll see how it goes in the heat and with two kids running around!
BC: If I were to ask you what your idea of heaven was and you were not allowed to include your children because that is too obvious, what would you say? By the way, you are allowed to include Tim in your slice of heaven!
EH: I have a hard time thinking of the perfect day or week without the kids. I truly feel guilty answering that without including them. Being with the kids guilt-free of all the obligations and deadlines. To be with my family all together all the time would be great. Nothing else that I can think of could equal that.
BC: What is your idea of complete hell?
EH: Unpacking a suitcase, waiting for a flight at the airport with kids, being out of diapers.
BC: What are three words that best describe you and how you see yourself?
EH: Critical of self. Nothing that anyone could say affects me like the judgment of myself. Maybe that's why I am good at what I do. I have a high standard; I think I am just incredibly critical and demanding of myself. I set the bar very high and if I don't reach it, I am hard on myself. I want to be as good a Mommy as I can be, and I am also creatively disorganized.

hi all
just uploaded my new site, your feedback would be much apreciated.
Still not completley done, need to add the rest of my portfolio and small fixes.
Mucho bonito qué ese significa es que el reloj tiene un caso de gran tamaño y un bisel de gran tamaño. La pulsera que está en el reloj de best rolex replicas realmente una pulsera de la ostra. Ésta es la misma clase de pulsera (o por lo menos igual mirada) que la reproducción Rolex Milgauss tiene también, de nuevo, haciéndola muy dura decir los relojes de la reproducción del auténtico.
It's not bad, but it's not great.
I'm not crazy about the font you've used for the headlines (logo, about, etc…)
I feel like the guy sitting in the chair feels out of place.
The way you've got your portfolio items laid out on the front page makes it hard to read. They either need more spacing between them or something to define their own space or the images should all be aligned to the same side. …Or both.
You should stylize your link colors.
You should make the margin on the footer zero since the vintage paper background just stops flat.
Overall, my main problem is that you stuck to a nice grid for your main three columns but in your main content it just kind of looks like your threw some stuff in there without really trying to keep things looking lined up. You are off to a pretty good start though.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
I have to agree with above poster…
I don't quite understand your logo… It looks kind of like a lazy guy reading a newspaper, which I don't think screams out "creativity" or "web designer" I see what you're going for.. the vintage look.
Also, I'm guessing your name is Adam Gitin, because of your URL. You never would of guessed that reading your website because AG Web Development sounds like some sort of company where AG could stand for something random like "Advanced Grid". Then in your ABOUT AG, you just say "I" not even, "My name is Adam Gitin, and I develop on the Web." or something to explain the AG. To further add to the confusion and puzzle, you go on to say "I work for 4Hilton" Well, wait a second, this looks like the AG Web Development website… not 4Hilton… OHH you're a designer who does freelance work, and also is onboard at 4Hilton.
See where I'm going with that? It should just make more sense I guess. Also, I think if you're going for the vintage look, you have to style the rest of the site to be more cohesive. I see you're using a typewriter font, which is great and appropriate, and a little razor ad which looks like it's featured somehow. But then, you have a sleek looking contact form, and your portfolio thumbnails are all crisp and clean with a border… they don't quite go.
And lastly, definitely finish out the end… The cut off is quite abrupt and with a look like that, you can do so much to have an attractive footer.
That's just my opinion. =)

Pittsburgh Crips Member and Associate Plead Guilty for Roles in Illegal Gang Activity
Additional Pittsburgh Crips Gang Member Sentenced to Prison
WASHINGTON - A Crips gang member and associate each pleaded guilty today in federal court in Pittsburgh to racketeering charges, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton of the Western District of Pennsylvania. Jamar Pharr, 27, of Pittsburgh, aka "Brownway," pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to engage in a racketeering enterprise before Senior U.S. District Judge Gustave Diamond in the Western District of Pennsylvania. Devon Shealey, 25, of Pittsburgh, pleaded guilty before Judge Diamond to one count of violence in aid of racketeering (VICAR). In addition, yesterday Karl Anger, 22, aka "K-Loc," was sentenced by Judge Diamond to 58 months in prison for conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise, consecutive to 72 months he is currently serving on a state court conviction for an aggravated assault shooting, for a total of 130 months in prison. The shooting was also charged in the federal indictment as part of the racketeering conspiracy. Anger pleaded guilty on Jan. 19, 2011, to the federal racketeering conspiracy charge. According to court documents, members and associates of the gang participated in a pattern of racketeering activity that included robberies at gun point; attempted murders; distribution of heroin and crack cocaine; obstruction of justice and witness intimidation. The three defendants were members or associates of different gangs in the Northside area of Pittsburgh that formed an alliance in 2003 to expand the gang's drug trafficking territory and increase the gang's membership to better protect their territory and profits. Members of the gang, known as the Brighton Place/Northview Heights Crips, maintained exclusive control over drug trafficking in these neighborhoods through continuous violence and intimidation of rivals and witnesses. Gang members supported each other through payment of attorneys' fees and bonds, as well as payments to jail commissary accounts and support payments to incarcerated members' families. Gang members had violent confrontations with members of the rival Manchester OGs, and other street gangs operating in the Northside area of Pittsburgh. Members and associates obtained greater authority and prestige within the enterprise based on their reputation for violence and their ability to obtain and sell a steady supply of illegal drugs. According to court documents, the Brighton Place/Northview Heights Crips gang members identify themselves by wearing blue, flashing Crips gang hand signals, and using phrases such as "Cuz," "C-Safe," "Loc" and "G.K." According to court documents, Pharr was considered a respected member and leader in the enterprise. Pharr had a reputation for violence, and instructed other members and associates of the enterprise as to how to conduct the affairs of the enterprise, including how to possess and distribute firearms and controlled substances, and how to commit acts of violence and witness intimidation. Pharr also distributed controlled substances, including heroin. According to Shealey's plea agreement, he was involved in shooting at a member of the Manchester OGs, in an effort to gain entry in the Crips gang. According to information presented at sentencing, Anger obstructed justice when he tried to convince the victim in his assault case not to testify. At sentencing, Pharr and Shealey each face maximum prison sentences of 20 years. According to Shealey's plea agreement, his prison sentence on the VICAR charge to which he pleaded guilty will run concurrently with the 34 to 68 year sentence he is currently serving as a result of prior convictions for armed robbery, gun possession and witness intimidation Shealey is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 19, 2011, at 11:00 a.m., and Pharr on Dec. 15, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. Pharr, Shealey and Anger are three of 26 defendants charged in February 2010 with being members or associates of, and conducting racketeering activity through, the Brighton Place/Northview Heights Crips gang. This prosecution resulted from a Project Safe Neighborhoods Task Force investigation that began in 2005. To date, 23 members or associates of the Brighton Place/ Northview Heights Crips who were charged in this indictment have pleaded guilty to racketeering charges. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Charles A. Eberle and Troy Rivetti of the Western District of Pennsylvania and Trial Attorney Kevin Rosenberg of the Criminal Division's Organized Crime and Gang Section. The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police; the Allegheny County, Penn., Police Department; and the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office.

Trip End
May 01, 2008
Montevideo has a downtown, an old city, and a long board walk along the Rio Plata. Montevideo could use more visitors here, the city is making progress by placing tourist police on the streets to protect and assist the few of us who are here visiting the city. Compared to the millions who live in Buenos Aires, Montevideo has allot less people with plenty of room to spread out.
If you are ever hanging outside the Tres Cruses Terminal in the cute little park cross the street be careful about sharing anything with the local drunks. Tres Cruses is pretty safe even at night-plenty of people walking around and little cafes to eat and drink. But if you decide to have your own sandwich and your 1 liter beer in the park keep an eye on the drunks. The locals hanging in the park are going to ask you to treat them to beer. You can pretend not to know the language or just ignore them they will eventually go away.

Just saw they don't have my size
Can anyone tell me if they're as narrow as CP's or as wide as Lanvin's? Maybe I can take a 43..
Those are Ann, right? Famously wide and run big
If they're wide as Urth says a 43 could work, but if they're the same as CP's they'd probably be too narrow.. Maybe I should just order them and see for myself.
Thanks both

Evangelical Homophobia-Planting in Uganda: A Tough Seed With Poisonous Fruit May 10, 2011
Posted by rogerhollander in Africa, Human Rights, LGBT, Uganda.Tags: Africa, Bible, bigotry, evangelical, fundamentalism, gay rights, homophobia, human rights, lgbt, religion, religious bigotry, roger hollander, uganda, valerie tarico
Christian extremists in Uganda's parliament are hoping that hunger and high gas prices will provide the cover they need to finally subject gay men to punishment of biblical proportions. They haveintroduced a bill, up for vote on May 11, that seeks life imprisonment for gay sex and, for repeat offenders, the death penalty. Last year, similar legislation was averted by international outrage. President Museveni was afraid of losing valuable aid dollars, and after outcry arose across the West, with Barack Obama calling the law "odious," Museveni prevented the bill from coming to a vote.
Stopping the bill was insufficient to save the life of one Ugandan,David Kato, who was beaten to death with a hammer in January. Kato was Uganda's most outspoken gay rights advocate and had received many death threats before he was killed. In the winter months before his death, one newspaper ran a front page photo of Kato with an anti-gay rant and a banner urging "Hang them." Last spring I traveled in Mozambique, where a full-page article in a local paper interspersed Bible verses, exhortations to spiritual living, and similar anti-gay vitriol. Although leading fundamentalists like Albert Mohler appear increasinglyresignedto "tolerance" here at home, across Africa the marriage of Christianity and homophobia appears to be thriving—thanks in part to an American tendency to take our outdated wares and social movements overseas.
Two years ago, I wrote an article that asked, "If the Bible Were Law, Would You Qualify for the Death Penalty?" It described some of the thirty six causes for capital punishment listed in the Good Book, including cursing parents, witchcraft, being raped (only within the city limits), adultery, and of course, homosexual sex. Mercifully, even the most old school American Christians seem to ignore the Bible on these points. But one of the unfortunate consequences of Americans exporting biblical literalism to developing countries is thatpeople in those countries take the Bible literally– including the parts we all, missionaries included, wish they wouldn't. In Nigeria, American Pentecostalism has fused with local animism and resulted in children being beaten and burned as witches, just like the Bible prescribes.
In Uganda, American evangelism may besimilarly responsiblefor Kato's death and the proposed law. In March 2009, frustrated by their inability to block the gradual inclusion of gays in the universal human rights umbrella at home, Evangelical leaders traveled to Uganda and led incendiary workshops seeking to increase Ugandan fear that gay men are a threat to straight marriages and children. It would appear that Uganda's already fractured and restive society is reaping what the American missionaries have sown: further contention and violence.
"I don't want anyone killed," said Mr. Schmierer, one of the Evangelical leaders who traveled to Uganda two years ago. "But I don't feel I had anything to do with that [Kato's death]." Many evangelicals, those who see the Bible as literally perfect, find it almost impossible to imagine that the Bible itself could be responsible for inciting violence or that those who preach biblical inerrancy could be complicit in that violence. And yet other Christians, those who see the Bible as the imperfect record of the imperfect struggle of our spiritual ancestors, find this causal chain quite plausible. According to theologian Thom Stark (The Human Faces of God),the biblical record attributes divine sanction in places to some of the worst of Iron Age impulses, including human sacrifice. Unless we understand those writings in their human context we are bound to glorify passages that instead should teach us about the darkness in the human spirit. And glorifying human darkness puts us at risk of enacting it.
It is troubling that of the many offerings that might have been carried by American Christians to Africa in the service of theGreat Commandment, what has been carried instead are the seeds of homophobia—fear, hatred, and death. It will take many voices raised together to reverse the damage done by a few misguided missionaries. I hope those voices will be raised this week (petition here)and again next year, and for as many years as are needed until Uganda's gay community can live in love and peace

Thanks for the Videos Speedo, much appreciated. So far I watched the first three hours of Jeriziah, and the first hour of Swiftblade. I have to say that I was disappointed by the Jera-Videos as you just rage a lot and don't really give much advice. If I could give you one advice I'd say don't scream or shout in the microphone. It's weird in an instructional video.
Your SB-Videos are way better, as you actually comment on what you're doing and why. I'm glad I didn't give up on you
Wildsoul plz.

please don't use Dota-Terms in an HoN instructional video (like health scroll in the Swiftblade video)... doesn't make sense to confuse the newbies, does it?
Thanks again.
Using dota terms is something I just can't avoid for some items, since I've been doing it for 5 years now and some dota items just sound smoother and more realistic when it comes to what the items actually do.
even absolute beginners should be able to figure out the name recognition after i say one item then buy a similar item that sounds like it does what i said. Besides, my streams main focus is aimed more at the intermediate-advanced hon players; hopefully it can still help beginners though.
Really enjoying these videos, please keep it up.
I hope to see a Hag video sometime, That's a hero I'd like to watch a pro use, so I can get tips on how to get better.
Thanks for all the hardwork.
Micro day... Please?

Big Hag plays? Please and Thank you?
I like you Speedo, but do you have the balls to not go mid? To not pick a stomper? :|
None of these heroes are heroes that people need to learn.
I challenge you to do a glacius day.
I challenge you to do a shadowblade day.
I challenge you to do a wildsoul day.
I challenge you to do a kinesis day.
I challenge you to do a geomancer day.
I challenge you to do a balphagore day.

I take solo sidelane 1v2 whenever it benefits my teams lanes to do so. Also the heroes you listed are either pure support (which i am admittedly terrible at and cannot teach at a high level) or unfamiliar with the hero in general, and wouldn't be able to teach at a high level. I may change it up and do days where i practice heroes like kinesis or shadowblade, but wouldnt be able to teach much to an audience since i would be learning myself.
I think it is more important for me to teach people what i am doing and why on the heroes that i can play at an elite level with first, and then down the road do general 'watch me be a noobie and learn this hero' stuff. also most of the heroes i've done aren't stompers :P
with that being said, i put off fa day until tomorrow because im tired, sorry guys

Also, if you guys would like, I can do the support heros, anyone that wants to learn support simply needs to watch/ask me

There is one game that I don't hear much talk about when it comes to this generation's best and even "Greatest Games of All Time" discussions and that game is "Geometry Wars". It was my first downloadable game I ever bought when I got my 360 nearly seven years ago and over all these years, I am still just as addicted to it. It pioneered digital games to the mass appeal they are today and is, at least in my opinion, right there with the likes of Tetris, Marble Madness and some of the best puzzle games and games in general ever made. I'm just baffled that it's 2012 and I'm still playing this game.
Also, think of this sentiment, some of the earlier games that became known as some of the greatest games ever made, like Tetris and such are very simple in concept. Here is Geometry Wars, in a time when games have evolved to become bigger and more grandios than anything video game players in the 70's, 80's and even the early 90's would have ever thought, GW is in the same vein in that it's simple in concept but deep and yet, it's in a way more captivating and has held my attention for not too far from a decade where's no other bigger game has in the exact same way. It's just interesting to think about it.

'Big Brother 15' Spoilers: Was the Power of Veto Used in Week 9?
Monday, August 26, 2013
John Kubicek
Senior Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
Over the weekend on
Big Brother 15
, I'd dare to say there was more actual gameplay than in the last month combined. Alliances shifted, new deals were made, plans were concocted and at the end of it we have a dramatic Power of Veto Ceremony.
SPOILER WARNING: This article contains
Big Brother 15
Amanda won the Power of Veto
. She used it to save McCrae. Andy is the replacement nominee.
Just like that, 3 A.M. is officially dead and Aaryn, the competitive beast and villain of the first half of the season (until she took a backseat to Amanda) is going home. Amanda has complained a lot about how stupid Elissa is, but in reality, Elissa just called Amanda's bluff and made the smartest decision ever by not succumbing to the plan to get GinaMarie on the block.
Once Amanda won the PoV, she concocted a master plan that involved McCrae, Aaryn, Andy and Spencer. She would start to psychologically torture Elissa, berating her with some of the most vicious attacks she's made yet (including cruel remarks about her husband and children). Meanwhile, Andy and Spencer's mission was to side with Elissa and convince her to put up GinaMarie as the replacement nominee, making her think that Andy would go home if he was on the block against Aaryn. The premise, originally, seemed to be saving 3 A.M. and blindsiding GM.
This didn't work, mostly because Elissa trusts GM more than she trusts Andy. During all of this, Andy, Spencer, Judd and GM actually
formed a new alliance, the Exterminators
, putting Andy in an awkward position. Right after the ceremony, Amanda, Andy and McCrae sat down with Judd to explain it to him and say that they are voting to keep Andy, not that it matters since Andy's new alliance already guaranteed him safety.
However, Andy's lies are finally starting to catch up to him, and he's in the awkward position of having to do a high-wire act in between McCranda and the Exterminators. It looks like all of those plates he's been spinning are starting to fall, and he's going to have to pick a side. Although knowing Andy, I'm sure he'll try to float along to see who wins HoH next week before making his choice.
Whatever happens, I'm fairly confident Aaryn is going home. Andy has alliances with all five HGs who are voting this week and should get a unanimous vote. However, that could turn since all of his deals, secrets, lies and other questionable moves could come to light, especially if Aaryn gets dirty and throws him, and 3 A.M., under the bus (which won't be that helpful since Andy already told Spencer about it).
The real test is next week. If Judd, Spencer, Andy or GM win HoH would they really nominate McCranda? I've heard that tale before, so I'll believe it when I see it, but the fact that Elissa nominated McCranda's two closest allies and best weapons is a great start.
-This is the ninth time the Power of Veto has been used this season, tying the number from season 7. The only season with more uses was last year, when it was used 10 times.
-Despite being used eight previous times, only three replacement nominees have been evicted: Nick, Jeremy and Judd. And only one of those, Jeremy, did not get to play in that week's PoV competition. All of this bodes well, statistically, for Andy, as he is a replacement nominee and did not compete for the PoV.
-Now that McCrae and Andy were both nominated this week, every HG this year has been nominated at least once. Because McCrae was saved, however, he is the only person in the house who has never had to face an eviction vote.
-In addition, Amanda and GinaMarie have never been nominated by another HG, as both were America's nominees for MVP.
-Because of the number of HGs this season, Andy and McCrae's first nominations make this season tied with the earliest that everyone has been nominated in terms of number of HGs remaining. In season 6, Howie Gordon was the last HG to be nominated, at the Top 8, and in season 13, Kalia Booker and Daniele Donato both became the last HGs to be nominated at the Top 8 as well. In every other season, the last person to get their first nomination happened at the Top 7 or later.

Steamboat Springs While still protesting a condition that could deprive their school of money, the board members of the North Routt Charter School agreed to sign a contract Thursday night that will guide the school for the next three years.
The board also hired its first director Mary Bramer, who will work part time.
The school is upset at the Steamboat Springs School District's condition to keep half of the "small attendance center" funding, which could amount to anywhere between $25,000 and $40,000, said charter board member Sandy Clark. Small attendance center money is doled out for charter schools that are at least 20 miles from the district's nearest school.
District Superintendent Cyndy Simms said the small attendance center money is meant to be given to the district to offset the costs of funding the charter school.
The charter school is a public school and, though it will maintain its own board, it is entitled to the same property-tax based funding the district receives. The school was approved for 95 percent of the district's per pupil funding for each student that moves from the existing schools to the charter school.
On Thursday night, the group also hired Bramer as the school's part-time director. Bramer, whose salary has not been determined, will interview the one full-time and one part-time teacher the school plans to hire.

TV preview: Anthony Jeselnik loves being the jerk on new comedy show
February 18, 2013 10:00 AMComedian Anthony Jeselnik, a 1997 graduate of Upper St. Clair High School, makes no apologies for his style of dark comedy that may strike some who hear it as inappropriate. And he's happy to warn listeners up front as evidenced in the title of his new Comedy Central series, "The Jeselnik Offensive" (10:30 p.m. Tuesday).
"The most guttural laugh you could get out of someone is when someone has died and you make a joke so inappropriate it causes people to laugh," the 34-year-old comedian said in a recent phone interview from Los Angeles, where he makes his home. "Then I thought, what if you could do that with every joke? And what do I have to do to pull that off?"
When: 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Comedy Central.
Starring: Anthony Jeselnik.
Mr. Jeselnik said he adopts an arrogant, undefeatable jerk persona for his stand-up performances: "I'm almost never myself on stage. I consider myself the villain."
In his special that debuted last month, "Anthony Jeselnik: Caligula" (now on DVD), he tells several jokes about an ex-girlfriend who's moved in with a new boyfriend.
"I've heard rumors that he's abusive," Mr. Jeselnik says, "which makes me want to go over there with a baseball bat and then blame it on her boyfriend.
"But I don't want to sound like a misogynist up here. My ex-girlfriend wasn't a bad person," he continues, "but she was terrible in bed. She would just lie there, screaming, 'Noooo!' That's rape joke No. 2, baby doll."
Mr. Jeselnik previously brought his humor to Comedy Central's roasts of Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen and Roseanne Barr.
"I would say [my style of comedy] is kind of dark but smart with maybe an emphasis on misdirectional jokes," he said. "My big idol is Jack Handey who did 'Deep Thoughts' on 'Saturday Night Live.' Every joke had a dark twist to it."
An example of his misdirection from "Caligula": "Yesterday I accidentally hit a little kid with my car. It wasn't serious. Nobody saw me."
Mr. Jeselnik said his parents back in Pittsburgh, Anthony F. and Stephanie Jeselnik, were concerned about his lack of income when he started out as a comedian. But now that he's found success, they're generally pleased.
"The only time they get a little annoyed is if I say something blue. They don't mind a rape joke or a death joke," he said, giving an example of a profane joke from the Comedy Central roast of Roseanne Barr that set them off. "My parents were devastated. If I ever talk about sex or be crude, that's their Kryptonite."
Mr. Jeselnik's road to success began with a desire to be a writer. He graduated from Tulane University with a degree in English literature in 2001 and a dream of writing the Great American Novel. An internship in Los Angeles between his junior and senior years of college convinced him there were other avenues for a writer.
"I got into stand-up just to become a writer," he said. "My stuff is more well written than it is well performed, if that makes sense. I get to rely on my jokes more to get me through it."
Mr. Jeselnik was hired to write for "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" early in that late-night talk show's run, but he stayed for only a year.
"Jimmy had a completely different voice and wanted me there because of what I could do just in case," Mr. Jeslnik said, explaining his dark humor was to be deployed if Mr. Fallon's show had been trounced -- critically or ratings-wise -- and needed to move in a different, darker direction. "That never really happened. Jimmy wanted to be nice and make everyone happy and make everyone love him, which is the opposite of my philosophy."
Even during his tenure on "Late Night," Mr. Jeselnik continued to do stand-up shows on weekends. He said he's been back to Pittsburgh to perform.
"People in Pittsburgh don't seem to care that I'm from Pittsburgh," he said. "Maybe it's because I don't talk about being from Pittsburgh on stage. ... When I get my face painted on the Primanti Bros. wall, we'll know I've made it."
His new series, which airs after the popular "Tosh.0," will offer Mr. Jeselnik's take on pop culture and current events, taping just a few days in advance of air.
"I've always wanted a monologue to deal with the darker stories of the week, the woman who tattoos her baby, the guy who kills his wife," he said. After 15-20 jokes about the week's bizarre news, "The Jeselnik Offensive" will turn to a segment called "Sacred Cows," where Mr. Jeselnik will take a subject that's inherently not humorous (e.g., cancer) and try to make it funny. He also will welcome a panel of comedians and celebrities each week.
Of course, with a weekly show that has advertisers, Mr. Jeselnik may find his offensive commentary under greater scrutiny. Other comedians have been publicly shamed for jokes some deem offensive, including "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan after a homophobic stand-up rant in 2011 and Comedy Central's own Daniel Tosh ("Tosh.0"), who generated criticism after directing a rape joke at an audience member at one of his live appearances.
"I'm sure someone will try to complain, but I'm not affected by it," Mr. Jeselnik said. "Everything I say is awful. My comedy is not, 'You guys remember when summer camp...' My comedy is, 'By the way, rape.' Every single joke of mine is horrible. You couldn't pick just one out. ... Just hate me across the board. That's fine with me."

From what is said of arete, what can you tell of the influence of the Greek women?
But arete pleaded hard with her husband for Medeia, for her heart was softened.

arete, daughter of Aristippus, continued the latter's teachings after his death.
arete was the first to speak, for she recognised the garments which Odysseus was wearing as the work of her own hands.
arete was also learned in natural history and in other branches of science.
There the fair maiden, arete, placed a crown upon his head, and Hebe clothed him in a white robe for the banquet of the gods.
But for all that, arete besought him, until she won him round.

There she advised that he should seek the Queen, arete, whom he would find at that hour busied with her weaving.

Quote:Quote:The are not contradicting, you can dislike something, but still not harass it. I hate Harry Potter books, but you don't see me burning them. Nope what you said is that you value the weakness of the majority, as it enhances your strength as percieved by both yourself and others. That is ego, and also very arrogant. Projecting weakness onto someone based on their inability to perform specific tasks (fighting, rock climbing etc). Rather you should look for thge strengths that those people do possess, and learn from them.You are a teenager, and it is only understandable that you face the world with confidence and ideals. Experience will teach you that there is no glory in a superiority complex.
Quote: For the longest time I've been on a sort of personal journey to bring myself closer to the ancient Ninja of the past.
Quote:1.) Ninja as intellectuals. Ninja think before they act, weighing the consequences, and staying one step ahead
Quote: Strength is useless without weakness.
Quote: The soul of a warrior. Too many people today have a weak soul.
Quote: it is a duty of the strong to protect the weak
Quote: Too many people seek only to better themselves, and to define themselves be artificial standards.
Quote: Why? You don't live in the past, why not be a ninja of the present?
Quote: If most (intelligent) people do this, why point out ninjas in particular?
Quote: Somehow I doubt you can approach a 250lb thug named "Ted" and tell him that he shouldn't pick on the weak because it shows bad character.
Quote: But if everyone was just as strong as you were, then the widely excepted definition of "strong" would have to be moved up.
Quote: the mindset that I must push myself to conquer my own faults, and take on new challenges.
Quote: It is kind of selfish to only care about a small group that you particually approve of.
Quote: What is the point of being strong if you have nothing to aplly it to.
Quote: And the artificial standards? I don't see why people care about the designer clothes you wear, or the group of friends you have. Clothes cover our naked bodies, and friends are friends.

More money, more production
Was worth the money last season, so repeat that
If there's one thing to be optimistic about, it's that DeRozan's been a late bloomer in the past as well (he didn't start playing well until conference play at USC, and it was the 2nd half of last season where he finally started to impress).
Maybe we'll see a similar curve this season?
hahaha true, true. And the funny thing is, this is how pretty much everybody felt about Bargnani as well!!! And now, everybody loves Bargnani again!
Me, im not hating on Demar. Im disappointed, same way i felt about Bargnani when he forgot about rebounding and defending. But the stark difference here is, Bargnani had something consistent even when he didnt care about defense...scoring. He put up points night in and night out. But with Demar, there's no consistency. But i still consider him a part of the core. Like what Apollo said, with a full camp, i have no doubts he'll be back in the saddle.
i think he'll be in a whole new saddle pimped out with Diamond Jewels and shit with a full camp.
I don't think you're remembering correctly. Bargnani went through virtually identical problems:
- Streaky play
- Confusion
- Struggles to adapt to being the primary defensive target when his crutch(Chris Bosh) was in street clothes on the bench.
DeMar is going through the same stuff Andrea did early on in his career. It was not until the past couple years that Andrea showed any consistency to his offensive game. He would be lethal one night and as cold as dry ice the next game.
The biggest concern for me is that our starting SG, who's supposed to be a cutter and catch-and-shoot type player, is still shooting well below 50% inside the 3-pt arc (only 43% the past 10 games). I'd be curious to see stats that show where his shooting % (2pt & 3pt) rank against other SF/SG in the league, as a fair comparison of DeRozan against the league benchmark.
*** So I decided to answer my own question, from ESPN Stats
1) DeRozan ranks 19 (out of 21) in FG%, among qualified SGs (38.7%)
2) Looking at SF, DeRozan would rank 17 (out of 18) in FG%, if he were included among qualified SFs
3) DeRozan is not even "qualified" (on pace to make 55 3pt shots) for 3PT% stats, but of SGs who have 20+ 3pt attempts, he would rank 50th in 3PT% (32%)
4) DeRozan would be ranked outside the top 30 among SFs who have 20+ 3pt attempts
Last edited by CalgaryRapsFan; Thu Feb 16th, 2012 at 01:01 PM.
In the last 10 games DeRozan is 34th in FG% among all guards (PG&SG). Of those players 19 of them are are point guards. Jose is #5 overall with a 525%
These are the players ahead of DeMar
Dwyane Wade , MIA
Landry Fields , NYK
Jared Dudley , PHX
Gerald Henderson , CHA
Jason Richardson , ORL
Jason Terry , DAL
Ray Allen , BOS
Anthony Morrow , NJN
James Harden , OKC
Monta Ellis , GSW
Kevin Martin , HOU
Paul George , IND
Nick Young , WAS
Jamal Crawford , POR
DeMar DeRozan , TOR
In the last 5 games DeMar is 16th among guards. 5th among shooting guards. Jose is #1 overall with a .598 FG%
DeMar does not rank in the 3P% due to the amount of attempts he takes.
Last edited by saints91; Thu Feb 16th, 2012 at 01:34 PM.
My question would be why are you lumping him in with SG and PGs? How many minutes have you seen him play at the point? It's fair to compare him to SF but not PG.
They just have breakdowns of C's, G's, and F's on NBA.com
He would be 33rd amongst forwards (PF &SF) and 13th out of just SF's in ten games
25th in the last five games and 8th among just SF's
Last edited by saints91; Thu Feb 16th, 2012 at 04:17 PM.
Another good game from DeMar. Shooting over 50% and getting to the line. He has pretty much dropped the 3 from his game.
It's not all about his shooting, unfortunately. Zero assists, zero rebounds??? That's near-impossible for an athletic 6-6 starting wing who plays over 30 minutes a game.
Maybe it's not Bayless vs. Barbosa as the energy scoring punch off the bench long term. Maybe it's Demar vs. Barbosa...
Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.
Yeah I wouldn't say he had a particularly good game. He didn't notch a single rebound or assist, nor did he do anything to stop his assignment. He also didn't show up in the fourth quarter at all.
That was not his fault. LotteryBall came through on his contract obligations again:
*During break between 3rd and 4th quarter*
LotteryBall: "Yo, DeMar. Come here baby."
DD: "Whut up, Lottery?"
LotteryBall: "You gots to try one of these new Codeine M&M's. They are incredible for a 4th quarter boost."
DD: "Shit yeah. Hand some over LotteryBall. Oh yeah. These are good shit. Give me another handful."
And there you have it. DeMar was asleep on his feet due to candy coated codeine.
Lol DD has been scoring well over the last few games so now you guys have tp bitch about his rebounding. Shooting guards don't have the same rebounding responsibilities as big men. So who the hell cares?
You must have loved the Sam Mitchell days. If we wanted Derozan to just be a scorer, then we would not care, but we want him to be a complete player. That means playing D (something Demar struggles with greatly), rebounding a bit, setting up other guys, and finishing games is important. With Casey as the new coach, this stuff has never been more important. Everyone has to pull their weight, and just scoring is not enough.
Last time I checked our team is 3rd in defensive rebounds so DD's "lack of rebounding" if you can even call it that is not affecting the team. DD is currently averaging 3.5 rebounds so how many rebounds do you want him to average? 4? Are those extra .5 rebounds really gonna make a difference? Come on now...

Comments about Frigidaire Gallery FGHT1846KR Stainless Steel 18.28 Cu. Ft. Top Mount Refrigerator:
1st time ever to purchase new appliance although having been married for over 30 years. Bought the gallery series in stainless. Love the no fingerprints and the design of the exterior handles. All the appliances match which I heard was issues with other brands. Fridge is nice and quiet and the interior lights are great.

THE LEGEND OF LAKE MANOR-word count 8,297
For the young psychic Cassandra Lopez, coming to the infamous haunted mansion Lake Manor, was more like a mission. She knew the Manor and its employees needed her help to rid the home of specters, consisting of a young a slave boy, two wrongfully hanged men, a ballerina, a thieving bartender, and a pregnant woman.
LEAVING HOME With no regrets, tears or sighs.
The time has come when I must leave.
My dear family and home.
My heart is filled with joy and love,
and yet I give a sigh.
Now I must struggle toward,
the goals that I have set.
And overcome the fright and fear,
of lifes trial that must be met.
No longer will I have the guidance,
of parents loyal and dear.
For I realize what they mean to me,
now that the parting is here.
As I start out into the world,
going my separate way.
I will always carry with me,
fond memories of childhood days.
I know dedication is the power,
for all the things that Ill do.
And straightway from this hour,
Ill make they proud of me too.
And if all of my hopes and aims come true.
As the future years go by.
I can look back and humbly say,
I owe it all to mom and dad.

Julianne Moore donned the power suits and an Alaskan accent to portray Sarah Palin for HBO's miniseries "Game Change," which is set to premiere on the premium channel in March 2012. But Moore tells the New York Daily News that despite stepping into Palin's shoes, she hasn't grown to respect her.
She tells the NYDN that she "read every single thing" she could about Palin and "watched every interview" in preparation for the role, but when asked if she developed a new-found respect for Palin, Moore "raised an eyebrow and sighed deeply. 'No,' she said quietly," says the paper.
"Game Change," which tells the story of the Republican party during the 2008 presidential race, also stars Ed Harris as John McCain and Ron Livingston, Sarah Paulson and Woody Harrelson.

Clarins Bronzing Duo Mineral Powder Compact.
Clarins Bronzing Duo SPF 15 Mineral Powder Compact in 02 – £26 *
I was lucky enough to receive the new Clarins Summer Makeup Collection which I will be posting about very soon, but I couldn't resist telling you all about my new favourite product which is in the collection. I have been wearing the Bronzing Duo in 02 for the last few days and I'm completely obsessed.
If you know me, you will know I'm absolutely blush obsessed, this is only the third bronzer I own (compared to hundreds of blushers!) so for me to have been converted over to the dark side (lol) is quite a big deal.
This blusher really gives such a gorgeous flush of colour (see it on me here) and a brilliant glow, it applies so easily and really changes my whole look. I mix the two shades together and apply with my Topshop blush brush and I'm so pleased with the results, such a subtle, luminous glow.
I love this with a nude/peachy lip and minimal eye makeup, it's a really lovely summer look.
What do you think of Clarins makeup?

For ports maintained by email@example.com, remove names and/or e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people who are no longer maintaining those ports.

From the conceptual and analytical skills students gain in upper-level math courses to the practical skills student learn in computer programming, our students are well prepared for careers and advanced study in a number of fields. Students also find natural collaborations among the sciences and with art and communication technologies.
Concepts and techniques of mathematics and computer science play a vital role in everyday life. The curriculum and other activities of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science reflect this.

With L. de Brouckere in the chair, a Joint meeting was held in Paris on the 25th November of the Executive of the International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) and the Bureau of the Labour and Socialist International (LSI). The IFTU Executive was represented by Jacobsen, Jouhaux, Kupers, Hicks (deputising for Citrine), Bondas (deputising for Mertens), and Schevenels, General Secretary. The LSI was represented by de Brouckere, Adler, General Secretary, and all the members of its Bureau. The Spanish Labour Movement was represented by Comrades Cordero and Vega. The meeting had before it the resolution on the Spanish situation adopted by the special meeting of the IFTU General Council, held on the 10th November, and also proposals for the organisation of Spanish relief and a world peace campaign drafted by Schevenels, the General Secretary of the IFTU. After a detailed discussion, in which nearly all delegates took part, full agreement was reached as to the relief campaign and it was decided to press energetically, through international deputations to governments, for the realisation of the following demands: "Public opinion in all countries which remain free should rise up with overwhelming energy against any attempt to impose a solution of force on the Spanish people from outside. "There must be no submission to the will of the Fascist countries, no settlement of the Spanish conflict without consultation with and the consent of the Spanish people, and no grant of belligerent rights to Franco. "On the contrary, there must be the restoration of international law on behalf of the Spanish republic, cessation of the policy of so-called non-intervention, and the withdrawal of Italian and German technicians and "volunteers". "Effective and immediate steps must also be taken to assure supplies to the civil population in Spain. The Spanish people, who are making a heroic and victorious resistance against the better-armed and better-supplied Fascist forces, must not be brought to defeat through starvation." The two Internationals further unanimously declared that: (1) a settlement of the war in Spain cannot be sought without consultation of the Spanish people, represented by the legitimate Government of the Republic, and that (2) a settlement can only be found on the lines of international law, (which has up till now been held in contempt) by the withdrawal from Spain of all the foreign troops which have invaded it, together with their technicians and the material of war with which they are destroying Spain.
