I dont think I'v mentioned Swift once. Everything that you hear some announcer like Steven Smith say on the radio or tv is not always true. How many times did Chris Webber get traded to NY? How many times was Boozer traded last year?

Lol....I would never pay for that Insider crap.
And I never said we shouldnt get Harrington. My point is that he's a good tweener Forward, but nothing special in today's game. So stop overjocking him. If he was so special, he would have made much more noise while in Atlanta.
Dalembert is a unique player. It's too bad we'll probably never get him...

Did he want someone older? Or did he want someone more developed? Andre played 32 a night when he should be a college junior. Dalembert is a great athlete, no doubt. But when I've seen him he has never looked like he had a feel for the game. There's a chance he will develop this feel and a chance he won't. Like I've said I don't think Philly wants Marbury's game or contract anyway.
You might very well be right. I dont doubt that. But remember, a 3-way deal could always happen. But then it gets complicated, and begs to ask the question why wouldnt Philly just cut the crap and resign Dally themselves?
All of this is such bull****. I wonder often if Isiah has ever really had a single vision, or if he just does what he do.
If you're point is that Al's a good player but not Michael Jordan than why the hell have you been arguing with me? That's what I said from the beginning. He was a solid piece on a very good team. Dalembert cannot claim to have done the same.
Dalembert is not so unique. If he was that unique he would not have fallen to 26 or whatever in the draft and would have developed into a half way decent player. That's my point he's no Deke. He would be a nice project, but he's been in the league several years and is still undeveloped.
He's been in the league 2 years buddy. And plenty of players drop in the draft. That's not a valid point. Example - Arenas.
My point is that it's my opinion that Dally is a much better option than Kwame or Stro. But I'm not Isiah. And I'm also not Billy King. So until we hear some serious rumors regarding this, it's all speculation. But I'm all for trading Marbury in general, and I won't complain if we keep him. I just want wins, I want heart, I want hustle, I want attitude. Anything else is deserving of complete and utter demolition of this team...
I don't know if getting Swift for the MLE is such a stretch. Not sure, but I would assume it went up with the cap going up. Jerry West is a great GM, but he thinks that he's even better than he is. He'll have none of Zeke's garbage so unless we get a three way or maybe take on Jason Williams and/or James Posey I don't see it happening. He probably won't have any of anyone's garbage so Swift might have to settle for the MLE. West is so overconfident in his abilities though that if he sees something he likes in David Lee he might trade you Pau for him (joking). But he did take Bell and Jones in the first round. Swift also lost value after having a poor year when he couldn't get out of Memphis. He's as athleti as Dalembert although maybe two inhes smaller.
Harrington was like the 5th best on the team. Miller Jermaine Artest and Tinsley were better then Harington when he was on the Pacers.
Tinsley has always been inconsistent and is nothing more than a guy who brings the ball up the court at his best. I don't know that this is worth arguing because there was debate as to whether Tinsley was the best PG on the 03-04 team (with the great Anthony Johnson and the rotting Kenny Anderson as his comp) and Reggie was cleary over the hill and nothing more than a spot up shooter. Harrington had more had more MPG and PPG and people were talking about how him and Artest were the best pair of perimeter defenders in the league. Harrington is also a tweener in the positive sense: he can play both the 3 and 4 and even the 2 while some guys are called tweeners if they can't play any position. It's basically difference in the field in baseball between a career DH and a utility infielder. Tweener has this stigma attached to it because it's used to descrbe a guy like Kirk Haston who's just horrible. A more appropriate term for Harrington would be versitile.
Bobby, I believe you're referring to a private message I sent you. It's like me opting to tell you one-on-one my opinion of you in lieu of not being able to tell you in your face. Of course, I could've followed your cowardly example and dissed you publicly, but I'll leave that to your arrogant self. My beef is you having to be so arrogant with me and others in a public forum. If you get your kicks from insulting people you don't know, I invite you to send me all the filthy private messages your ego desires, just refrain from being such a pendejo in public.
desde la cuna del chango
Yes, i get my kizicks from publicly shaming you.
mets suck, knicks suck, yankees suck, rangers suck.
just plazaying... :.)
OT: bobs, i'm trying to be as patient as i can with you but you're pushing it real hard.
i did liked the fact that after all those insults between you and hometheatreguy you guys are getting along now, but PLEASE, try not to be so acid everytime somebody doesn't share your point of view. We have a set of rules that weren't followed all the time, but i will eventually follow the book
Marbury hasnt had a full season with a half decent team since he has played for the knicks, except when he was first traded to new york when he had kvh and h20 and they were winning games.At least give him a chance because it looks like this seasons team will be good.And if we are still **** at the end of the season then maybe trading him is justified
For the last time - this goes beyond just Marbury being a great talent. You have to account for his age, his knees, his contract, and the cap.
When you look at all those factors, trading Marbury is forgiveable. And if we're keeping him, there better be another huge trade on the horizon, b/c by keeping him, we'll never get below the cap in the next 3 years, and neither will we get very far in the playoffs (unless there's an addition of a legit Big Man).

Don't let their Hitchcockian manner scare you, grackles are just here to roost
Nov. 1, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Black-winged figures cross the sky as the sun begins to set over Victoria, signifying the end of another Texas October day.
Near the Victoria Mall the birds, most of them boat-tailed or great-tailed grackles, flock to the area until the power lines along the street are crowded with the chirping creatures silhouetted against the sun.
As traffic continues to rumble down North Navarro Street the noise of the cars is almost drowned out by calls from the densely populated highway above it.
Victoria is on the edge of the largest migratory path, called the Central Flyway in the United States. Amanda Rocha, executive director of the Texas Zoo, described the flyways as "super highways in the sky."
The Central Flyway, one of four flyways in the country, runs from Alaska to Central America, bringing more than 400 species of migratory birds through the Crossroads.
Rocha said birds migrate for one of three reasons - weather, food or breeding. The great journey for many birds starts near the end of September for the winter migration. The birds turn around to go back in a spring migration around March.
The grackles, however, don't have to travel too far. They come from only a little farther north than Oklahoma and as far south as Central America. And although most of the birds Victoria sees are migrating, there is also a year-round population in the area.
As though they had just detoured to take in the sunset, the birds begin to disperse from the lines as the sun got lower in the sky.
While the roosting grackles present a problem to motorists because of their droppings, the birds are safe. They are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
In a Hitchcockian manner, the flocks take to the air in search of a tree that will make a better roost for the night.
Rocha said she believes the grackles pick the lines for warmth and a safer place to roost in an environment without a natural forested habitat.
"It's about wildlife in general learning to live in a more urban area," Rocha said.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — It's been the Colorado Rapids' running joke that's dragged on for three months and counting.
The only problem is, nobody's laughing.
But it finally appears the never-say-die run of injuries that have plagued the Rapids since pre-season could be making significant progress. After a 10-day break, Rapids coach Oscar Pareja could have as many as three players back for next Saturday's clash at Vancouver, and three key ones at that.
"Brian [Mullan] is getting there, Conor [Casey] is getting close, Omar [Cummings] is getting close, too, hopefully we can get him back in full training early in the week," Pareja told MLSsoccer.com on Thursday. "[We're] getting there, getting people healthier."
In the Rapids' 3-2 win over Montreal on May 26, Pareja had to make do without starters Mullan, Casey, Cummings, center back Marvell Wynne and midfielder Pablo Mastroeni. And in the lead-up to the Rapids' 2-0 loss in US Open Cup play last Tuesday, starting center back Drew Moor tweaked a hamstring, forcing him out of the lineup for the contest as well.
All in all, it's been a headache of injuries that have forced Pareja to make do without the spine of his team.
"I was checking my notes and I don't think there's been a team where we've looked around and said, 'This is the full squad,'" Pareja said. "We are always just challenged with injuries, and it may be the case for many other teams. We are not complaining about it or making excuses, it's just a fact.'"
Mullan (right) told MLSsoccer.com that he expects to be in the lineup for the Vancouver game, while Cummings and Casey could both play as well, according to Pareja.
However, despite Pareja's optimism about Cummings' potential return to the pitch next Saturday, the Jamaican himself isn't so sure. After suffering an ankle sprain May 6, Cummings is hoping to be back in time for the Vancouver game but doesn't want to push it after ankle sprains sidelined him off and on for much of 2011.
"I guess I'm targeting next week, maybe, with the game being on turf," Cummings told MLSsoccer.com. "Coming back on turf with an ankle injury is not necessarily the best thing [for] playing your best game. We'll see how it goes."
One player who likely won't play in the Vancouver match is the speedy defender Wynne, who is still battling a right hamstring strain that he picked up early last month.
"The recovery's going all right. I feel like I should be further along than I am, so that's kind of disappointing," Wynne told MLSsoccer.com on Thursday, while eyeing a return for the Rapids' showdown against San Jose on June 20.
"I just ran today with Drew [Moor], and right now I'm as fast as Drew right now," Wynne quipped, "so that's kind of upsetting."

Two games after being replaced in the starting lineup, Scott scored a career-high 18 points and BJ Young added 16 as Arkansas pulled away for a 77-63 win over Louisiana Tech.
The Razorbacks (8-3) led throughout the second half but were unable to put the Bulldogs away until the last few minutes.
The win is Arkansas' third win in a row and third in a six-day stretch at home. The Razorbacks are now 8-0 in Bud Walton Arena this season.
Scott scored 10 of his points in the first half, a stretch that included a pair of thundering dunks. He was joined in double figures by Young and Devon Abron, who finished with 10.
Raheem Abbleby led Louisiana Tech (7-6) with 23 points, while Trevor Gaskins had 12 and Romario Souza 10.
Arkansas led throughout the second half but was unable to stretch its lead to more than seven until late in the game. The Razorbacks led 61-59 late when Souza missed a point-blank layup that would have tied the game for the Bulldogs.
Ky Madden followed with a three-point play on the other end to put Arkansas up 64-59. That started a 16-4 run to end the game for the Razorbacks.
Much of Arkansas' difficulty in putting Louisiana Tech away was due to the performance of the Jacksonville native Appleby.
The Bulldogs' freshman helped Louisiana Tech build a 17-6 lead early, scoring 11 of his 14 first-half points during the run. Appleby continued to shine in the second half, opening with a 3-pointer and floater to pull the Bulldogs to within 40-38, and he's now averaging 17.5 points over his last seven games.
Madden scored the first five points of the Razorbacks' late run, finishing with nine points and seven rebounds. Arkansas shot 48.4 percent (31 of 64), snapping a stretch of three out of four games below 40 percent from the floor.
Scott was 8 of 16 from the floor in eclipsing his previous career high of 12 points, set against Oklahoma on Dec. 10.

You know I really felt like he turned himself around last year, that he had grown up and found a home with the Knicks. I even wrote that I was impressed with his demeanor last season, looks like he was just playing for a contract.
George Karl said the Spurs or the Heat might be interested in him because they have peer pressure systems that keep guys like Beasley and Capt. Jack in line. I wish Karl was right but 30% shooters making 6M with his baggage are just not tradeable, Woj is right we're stuck with him. The question is how can the Knicks best use JR for his remaining years.

My main rig is sporting a GT 240 512MB DDR5 version. I was hoping the lower rm might knock off a couple of watts.So 38 watts on the GT 240 gets, 4,500 PPD according to FahMon
48 watts running the SMP client on the Athlon X2 clocked at 3.0 GHZ gets 900 PPD according to FahMon.
FF - if you look at the power efficiencies of the Athlon X2 vs the GT 240, it would appear you'd be using energy more efficiently with the GT 240.
Look at my numbers. I have the Athlon II X2 and the newer chipset so the idle number is nicer. However, the point still stands: 40W extra for SMP and around 40W extra for GPU. SMP gives ~1800 ppd while the GT240 is at least 3500 ppd, so double the points output for similar levels of power consumption.
Side note: Looks like my HD 4550 does not idle as well as the GT 240. It seemed to be around 20W (from memory, so it can be wrong) extra at the wall compared to using the IGP.

|We started by taking the Snowbird Tram to the top of Hidden Peak (first tram ran late and didn't get us up until just before noon, though) for a fun day full of scrambling and awesome views of the Alpine Ridge. We were cruising for the first part (made it over AF Twins, Red Top, and Red Baldy in about two hours), but our progress slowed significantly on the more sustained sections of scrambling along White Baldy's east ridge. Descending to White Pine Lake and getting back to the trailhead took a bit longer than anticipated as well, but overall it was an awesome route with incredible views the entire way.

text: I agree that Fed needs to come out playing fearlessly. I think he really needs to use his variety to keep Nadal uncomfortable. If Nadal is truly fatigued, then the variety gameplan should work very well. If Federer finds himself down early, he needs to slow things down and play a physical match and really dig into Nadal's service games. Fed also needs to serve well, which he has never done against Nadal on clay. I really believe that Fed has the odds in his favor and he will come out of here with a win. If he is the champion we say he is, he will take advantage of this opportunity and use this as a springboard into the upper echelons of tennis greatness. This is a huge match.

aspect ration?
Is aspect in short supply?
Engineering schematics for the upcoming iPhone 5 have slipped out onto the web. That's certainly what the white-on-black wireframe pictures are claimed to be by Asian site iDeals China to be. iPhone 5 design Source: iDeals China They drawings are said to have been produced for case makers to give them a basis on which to …
Is aspect in short supply?
Wearing a belt?
Oh, it never stopped.
really cares?
Trolling to give thumbs down!
Are they ditching iOS for Symbian?
This has been confirmed. They were going to try and use PalmOS apparently, but HP woudn't let them.
Will this include instructions for how to hold it? ... oh no, sorry, my mistake, that was a software glitch wasn't it, did they ever patch that?
I believe the end-users were re-programmed with proper instructions as to how to hold the device.
Yes, the antenna issue will be fixed. Why? It has a waistband now to protect the iPhone from users holding it wrong.
What it wont come with is a realistic price tag. Even my macbook Pro owning partner is looking at android units to replace a Nokia (that hasn't lasted well) and has discounted the bruised fruit as being ridiculously expensive for what it is.
Hehe, you care enough to post apparently! :D
This seems appropriate here: http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/joyimages/1510.jpg
the fact that it uses the same faceplate as the recently leaked one makes no odds. you'd be able to fit that faceplate on an iphone4 style back or an iphone3/ipodTouch type back.
....a phone.
Stop the presses!
Seriously, how can ANYONE care about this? It's a wireframe drawing that looks just like any other phone on the planet.
Can we get back to the real news please?
No it doesn't.
It looks like a touch-screen pocket computer that happens to be able to make telephone calls almost as an afterthought.
Tim Cook already said, on stage, at the VZW launch event, that the next iPhone was a "radical shift" and had "significant engineering differences" and was "really exciting." A new model looking almost exactly like the current does not jive with those public statements. I call BS.
No matter what they do, it will always be a big screen with some buttons around it.
Well, maybe not always but, at least, until it can be fold
Yes, but this is the Apple time-space continuum where the law of physics and, most importantly, user-thought don't apply. People will still dump their iPhone4 for the iPhone5 on launch day, even if it only has the craptastic bump of a dual-core Cortex A9 (oh yeah, Apple A5) processor and an iOS update. (yes, iPhone4 will get the same update, but will they care? not likely)
the screen is the same size and the surround has been shrunk due to adding the band around the outside? This way the overall dimensions of the phone remain the same, thereby not upsetting people who have cradles, cases, etc for the iPhone 4.
Then again, since when did Apple care about change the design?
The faceplates from before are obviously photoshopped.
Considering the white iPad 2 has a white menu button, it is highly doubtful that they would go for a black button for the iPhone.
There is no way that this can be genuine.

All this hype about RHS and spin, you tend to forget that you don't catch the sweetspot i don't mean s@#t:evil:. All i did was concentrate and hit the SP and i had no more use for excessive RHS. Even on my serve this helped with consistency,power, and spin i'd been missing on my serve since getting caught up in RHS. Such a simple thing makes such a huge difference.

Two FC Dallas Youth teams qualified for the 2012 U.S. Youth Soccer Region III Championships that began in Greenville, South Carolina this past weekend. The 97 Boys Central team and the 98 Boys Premier team each qualified for the tournament by winning the U.S. Youth Soccer North Texas Soccer State Cup in the U-15 and U-14 age groups, respectively.
97 Boys Central: U-15 Bracket (coached by Francisco Arias)
The 97s had a rough start to the group stage after being shut out in their first two matches. However, the team did manage a big win over eventual group-winners and U-15 Region III champions SAA Real Madrid Miami in their third group stage match.
FC Dallas conceded the first two goals in the match, the second an own goal, to set the stage for an unlikely comeback. The team responded with four unanswered goals scored by Oscar Romero, Jeffrey Withers, Leonardo Franzank and Leonardo Luvizetto. But the win wasn't enough to undo the squad's first two losses as their run ended in the group stage.
98 Boys Premier: U-14 Bracket (coached by Gabby Gentile)
The 98s found more success in South Carolina though, as they've made it all the way to the semifinals of the tournament. FC Dallas opened up the tournament with a convincing 5-0 win over HSC Phantoms, State Cup Champions of Alabama.
FCD took the lead in the first half off a goal by Tony Perez, but the Texas side poured on the offense in the second half. Adan Garcia scored the 98s' second goal just minutes before Junior Chavez made it a 3-0 lead. The fourth goal came off a free kick that Sebastian Venegas sent around the wall from just outside the box and bent into the far post. Bernie ZuaZua wrapped up the scoring with a one-touch goal off a har pass from Matthew Gonzalez. Fino Garcia set up two of FCD's goals to help the team start the tournament on the right foot.
In their second match the Dallas side faced FC Alliance 98 Black from Tennesse. FCD found themselves trailing by a goal midway through the first half after Jacob Helterbridle headed in a long throw-in. But Adan Garcia responded with a valiant individual effort to beat the goalkeeper far post just minutes later to tie the match at 1-1. A scoreless second half saw the match end in a draw and FC Dallas end their second day in South Carolina with four points for second place in the group behind their next opponent, Florida's Pinecrest Premier.
Pinecrest won their first two matches, making the final matchup of the group stage a must-win for FC Dallas if they hoped to win the group. The 98s proved up to the task, as Fino Garcia gave the team an early 1-0 lead after putting away a rebound. Minutes later Chuy Armendariz beat the 'keeper to make it a 2-0 lead. Pinecrest's Tavish Rice cut the advantage in half as he put in a goal off a corner kick towards the end of the first half. FCD put the game away early in the second half though, as Sebastian Venegas scored his second of the tournament to give Dallas the 3-1 win to advance the team to the tournament quarterfinals.
FCD's quarterfinal match against Georgia's GSA 98 Phoenix Red was a dramatic one. The teams went scoreless through both halves of regulation, but towards the end of the second half one of GSA's players received a second yellow to put the Georgia side down to 10 players. The sides remained scoreless through the entire first overtime period until the last minute when Dallas was called for a handball in the box to award a penalty kick to GSA. However, FCD goalkeeper Zach Sodolak made a game-changing save on the spot kick to hold the clean sheet as the match headed into the final overtime period. Junior Chavez played the hero for FC Dallas in the second overtime, scoring two goals to keep the match from being decided in a penalty kick shootout.
The 2-0 win set up a Lone Star State semifinal showdown against South Texas State Cup Champions Texas Rush Premier on Wednesday afternoon for a shot at the Region III Championship match. FC Dallas wasted little time in their semifinal matchup, jumping out to a 1-0 lead over their Houston-based counterparts thanks to an eighth minute goal by Fino Garcia. Garcia scored a brace just 12 minutes later after Junior Chavez sent in a pass that split the Rush center backs. Bernie ZuaZua made it a 3-0 lead five minutes into the second half off a feed from Sebastian Venegas, and 13 minutes later FC Dallas was awarded a penalty kick after Austin Day took a shot that hit the hand of a defender in the box. Adan Garcia buried the spot kick to seal the 4-0 shutout victory for FC Dallas.
On Thursday morning the 98 Boys Premier team faced Florida's Sunrise Elite with the Region III Championship and a berth in Nationals at stake. Sunrise entered the match having won all five of their previous matches while outscoring their opponents 10-2 at the tournament. In a tightly contested final, the lone goal of the match was scored by Sunrise Elite's Alexander Gomez to clinch the 1-0 victory for the Florida side and hand FC Dallas their only loss in the final match of the competition.
"We are very proud of the 97 Boys Central and 98 Boys Premier teams for winning the North Texas State Cup and advancing to the Region III 2012 Southern Regionals," said FC Dallas Youth Vice President Chris Hayden. " It is a great accomplishment to qualify for Regionals and to represent North Texas. It is also extremely important that our teams play an attractive style of soccer, which I know is stressed daily by coaches. These two teams have demonstrated their quality on and off the field all year long and did a great job representing FC Dallas on a big stage."

Is this your brand on Milled? You can claim it.
Dear Dot & Bo Community, We launched Dot & Bo just over 3 years ago with the mission to empower people to design the homes of their dreams through engaging stories. During this time, we've emerged as one of the largest online furniture retailers in the U.S. market, growing our business by 16x and serving millions of members. From offering tailored design advice and uncovering the latest decor trends to most recently expanding our services to office design, we proudly built a go-to design destination that enabled people to translate their decorating inspiration into a reality. It is with a heavy heart that we must share that Dot & Bo will be ceasing all operations as of the end of the day Friday, September 23rd. We were in deep discussions to be acquired by a prominent public company, but ultimately the partnership did not come to fruition. We are humbled to have had such loyal customers and are extremely proud of the impact we made on the home furnishings market, but ultimately we were unable to find backers with the necessary vision to help us achieve our mission. On behalf of the entire company, we are grateful for the opportunity to have helped you make your home a more inviting place and only wish that we could continue doing so in the future. Sincerely, The Dot & Bo Team

Have been lurking for a while now. I miss this place.
Came down with my girlfriend memorial day weekend and fished with some friends. Netted some mullet and chummed an Estero Bay grass flat with chunk mullet. We caught 4 or 5 lower slot redfish in about an hour. Went offshore for tarpon and only saw one off Knapps. My buddy caught a 3' blacktip shark on the new Shimano Tranx on a Terez rod...sweet combo. The blacktip came up and smacked a 10" mullet so that was fun to watch. Sure beats bass fishing. Hope everyone is doing okay in my hometown!

Manager, Pharmacovigilance Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals.
This tutorial will focus on four emerging areas of change in pharmacovigilance (PV) and present them within a Canadian context. The first area deals with the new good pharmacovigilance practice (GVP) Inspection guidelines and policy that have been released by Health Canada and become effective September, 2013. Areas of change from previous inspection model will be highlighted.
The second area in this tutorial will focus on the recently announced acceptability of Periodic Benefit Risk Evaluation Reports (PBRERs) to meet the requirements for Canadian Summary reports in Canada. Focus will be on how these reports differ from PSURs and how to begin to develop these new format reports for Canadian submission.
The third emerging area of change that will be reviewed is the development of the PV Master File, a new concept recently introduced by Europe, and the associated PV Quality System. We will review how to set up a PV Master File in Canadian context and how to set up a robust PV Quality System. Discussion will focus on implementing the Master file concept and maintaining it over time. We will discuss the benefits of moving in this direction for Canada only and within the context of a global PV environment.
The fourth area will overview the Risk Management Plans (RMPs) in Canada, their current status and general considerations when submitting them, background on Drug Utilization Research and describe Health Canada expectations when designing them, and applied overview of some common Health Canada Risk Management Plan review comments will be provided.

The Savannah Songwriters Series will present Canadian folk artist Linda McRae on April 28. A native of Canada's west coast, McRae discovered music at age 6, when she began playing accordion. She since has added guitar, bass and banjo.
"I had a daughter, and when she grew up and moved out of the house, a popular band asked me to join," she says.
That band was Spirit of the West.
"We recorded platinum and gold records in Canada," McRae says. "I left and started doing my own stuff. I drove across Canada and the United States to perform, and I've been doing that ever since."
McRae was with Spirit of the West from 1988 to 1996. She also appeared as a guest musician on The Wonder Stuff's album "Never Loved Elvis."
Her debut solo album, "Flying Jenny," was released in 1997. It included guest performances from members of Blue Rodeo, The Tragically Hip and The Band, as well as Syd Straw and Gurf Morlix, and showcased the songs she had written while with Spirit of the West.
In 2003, McRae released a second album, "Cryin' Out Loud," which is pure honky-tonk. Her third, "Carve it to the Heart," was steeped in the dust bowl traditions.
Today, McRae lives in Nashville with her husband, James Whitmire, who is also her manager. Her latest album was nominated as Canada's Contemporary Folk Album of the Year.
"It was great to be nominated," she says.
Many things inspire McRae's songs.
"Personal experiences, friends, newspaper articles, things I overhear, current events," she says. "Inspiration is everywhere you look. You've got to keep your eyes and ears open."
Songwriting is personal for McRae.
"There's something really amazing about writing a song," she says. "It's something that didn't exist at one point, and all at once, there it is.
"Recording is particularly interesting because you get to hear someone else's take on a song. I love playing live and getting audience reactions.
"I love all aspects of it," McRae says. "It's really great."
Activists as well as musicians, McRae and Whitmire work with inmates and recently were at Folsom Prison, known for Johnny Cash's classic "Folsom Prison Blues."
"We started working with at-risk youth to show them there are alternatives to a life of crime," she says. "We wanted them to know there is someone to listen to them. Some of the guys at Folsom gave us two-page letters to read to the kids.
"That letter has made a tremendous difference. We feel like we're getting through to these kids."
Doing the prison work is a way of giving back, McRae says.
"I've been playing music full time for over 25 years," she says. "It's nice to pass along some of the things I've learned and help other people.
"Music has been therapy for me. I believe arts and music can help people who are in bad situations see that there is another way."
Also appearing will be folk musician Todd Hoke and locals Jefferson Ross and Thomas Claxton.
"I met Jefferson and Todd through a mutual friend," McRae says. "We just got along great and Jefferson asked us to come. I can't wait to see Savannah."

text: I mentioned a few weeks ago that it was too bad we couldn't pry reggie Jackson away from the OKC Thunder as he's a great PG who's overshadowed by Westbrook. Well the sports gods have listened. haha. Today i read the Knicks should try to pry Westbrook from OKC with a package deal of Chandler-Felton-Shump and a few throw ins...in return the Knicks get Perkins and Westbrook. The sports writer thinks they go for it as Perkins doesn't fit in with their style of play and Chandler would. I'd love for Westbrook to be robin for Anthony. Sounds like a nice pipe dream, but i've been wrong on many trade accounts before. Did you guys read this today

NSW greats hail Dennis captaincy choice
Legendary NSW rugby captains Simon Poidevin and Phil Waugh have hailed the appointment of fellow flanker Dave Dennis as the Waratahs' 2013 leader, a choice made by new coach Michael Cheika just 20 minutes before its public announcement.
Dennis, 27, replaces prop Benn Robinson following a 2012 Super Rugby campaign which ended with the Waratahs suffering eight straight losses to finish 11th with a 4-12 record.
He enjoyed a breakout year in 2012, winning the Waratahs' Players' Player of the year and making his Test debut, playing in all of Australia's 15 Tests.
Dennis confirmed Cheika had only informed him he would be captain less than half an hour before telling the rest of the world.
"It's true, it's a bit of a surprise, but something I'm extremely proud of and he (Cheika) goes about things a bit differently, but it's been received well," Dennis said.
Asked why he had waited to virtually the last minute to make his decision, Cheika said: "What I wanted to do is make sure I took enough time to assess who would be the leader of the team."
The decision certainly met with the approval of Poidevin and Waugh.
"I think it's a fabulous choice of captain. He had an incredible year last year," Poidevin told AAP.
"He's a guy who gets it. He's come from club rugby, he's had a great affinity with the community and juniors and he's a standout leader."
Waugh, who played alongside Dennis in the Waratahs team, described the new NSW captain as passionate and loyal.
"He works hard, he's certainly got the respect from all the players and he's got that probably rare ability to connect with everyone in the squad which is such an important part of being a captain," Waugh said.
"I think it's a great choice."
Dennis said he would lead by deed rather than word and revealed Waugh and Robinson were among people he would consult on captaincy.
"He's just got to continue to be himself. He'll put his own mark on the captaincy," Waugh said.
Cheika said Dennis had earned the right to captain NSW after performing at club, Super and Test levels.
"Given to certain players, the captaincy will certainly make you a better player and I have no doubt that David will take that up," Cheika said.
Cheika said the Waratahs wouldn't have a leadership group, but he would appoint a couple of vice-captains after consulting Dennis.
Dennis acknowledged there would be pressure on the Waratahs to perform after a disastrous 2012 campaign, but wasn't about to make promises and predictions about the coming season.
"You can't say a lot - we've just got to show it," Dennis said.
"We can't make any guarantees, but what I will say is we will try everything we can to perform and to make the state proud.
"Passionate performances, try and play attacking rugby."
Cheika expected to have close to a full complement of players available for the first game against Queensland, with back Berrick Barnes expected to be right to face his former team despite suffering a knee knock on Tuesday.

King Salsa was founded by master Percussionist/Drummer Robin Jones in England in 1986. In its 20 or so years the band has had a colourful and varied career and has become something of an international institution in Latin (mainly Cuban) music, dance and folklore. King Salsa has been featured at most of the world's best jazz and Latin venues and festivals including sell-outs at the legendary Ronnie Scott's club in London, the Brecon Jazz Festival, Marlborough Jazz Festival, Malta, Pori and alongside Irakere at London's Cabot Hall.
The personnel have always been drawn from the top current group of crack young players internationally, and have also backed many of the world's greats in Latin and Latin Jazz. Many great players and singers have graced the band's ranks, many of whom have become Band Leaders in their own right, and who often make return appearances. These include master percussionist Bosco De Oliveira (now resident in Brazil but still comes to play with the band on occasion), trumpet virtuosos Steve Waterman, Mark Armstrong and Graeme Flowers, trombone legends Dennis Rollins and Paul Shepherd, the inimitable violin of Omar Puente and multi-instrumental star Gerry Hunt.
The current line-up features a range of ferocious new talents; The trumpet section features the world class lead trumpets of Jean Paul Gervasoni, Alex Maynard and the section and jazz solos of Gavin Broom. The piano is under the capable digits of the amazing Chris Kibble. The bass chair features Jonny Gee, an ever-present figure on the UK jazz and Latin scenes. The timbales are in the hands of Marc Cecil who is becoming one of the most sought after Drummers/Percussionists on the scene. Virtuoso tenor, baritone sax and flute man is Jamie Harris and new trombone star and Musical Director is Tim Smart. Alongside Robin, the percussion section is spearheaded by master percussionist/vocalist Carlos Fuentes (from Chile). Add to this the charismatic lead vocals and percussion of Enrique Bringas (from Cuba) and Juan Pablo Lopez (from Colombia), and you have it. Robin himself has had a vastly experienced career, playing with most of the world's greats of Latin, jazz and pop including Stan Getz, Phil Woods and Latin Jazz piano great Charlie Palmeiri. More recently he has been seen with trumpet greats Eddie Henderson and Arturo Sandoval.
The band has recently released a breathtaking new album, entitled 'Sabroso Mambo'. Available through Weave Records, all good record stores, iTunes and CD Baby, it is one of the most exciting Latin albums produced in recent years.
The band also has two previous CDs 'Aché' and 'Chango'.

Hahahahahaha - Well, I am glad you entered into the spirit of this, especially as I was only intending this to be a small (small, to the point of miniscule) joke and I wasn't really intending to award points (except to the Puffs, naturally) However you entered and were enthusiastic. So I applaud your enthusiasm.
There is a little problem, though. Some of you caught the spirit of the competition but made SPaG errors. Some of the entries were wistful stories but I didn't laugh. Obviously humour is a personal thing, but there were only one or two I chuckled at, and one of them is ineligible and the other is too wrapped up in a personal joke for me (I did grin, though, really - despite the use of my pet peeve)
Therefore, because of the parameters of the challenge, I am only awarding participation points.
This is NOT the same as cake-womaning. If any of you had been cake-womaned, then I wouldn't have awarded participation points. Another point ... please get your entries beta'd. Please ... pretty please ... or I'll set the goat on you.
Gryffindor - 5
Hufflepuff - 5
Ravenclaw - 10
Slytherin - 10

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. - A teenager injured in a drive-by shooting is going to Washington, D.C. for President Obama's State of the Union address.
Megan Hobson is accompanying U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to the address next Tuesday.
On April 17, 2012, Hobson was injured in a drive-by shooting when her sister's car was riddled with bullets.
"I was the only one of the four of us in the car that got shot," Hobson after she was released.
The bullet tore through Hobson's pelvis, nearly killing her.
"I actually went into shock on the table. I had to take 35 units of blood and platelets because I basically was bleeding out," said Hobson.
Hobson now counsels other youths recovering Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, where she was treated.
"This is the reason I stayed so I can help somebody else get through this hard time in their life," said Hobson.
Hobson wants to become a pediatric oncologist.

My daughter collects roaches, I've found some with the above name but I've never heard of them before and I'm wondering if they are a real species. If they are then great, her name is Ruby and it would be nice to add these to her collection but I have my doubts. The only information I have is a picture the seller posted which obviously came from a website which unfortunately I can't enlarge to read. Has anyone heard of these at all? The seller describes them as rare, I'm inclined to believe they may just be a fairly ordinary roach but I'm interested enough to ask for ID help. Incase your wondering, Ruby is 5 and LOVES bugs of all kinds. Here's hoping someone can clear this up for me as all my internet searching has drawn a blank so far and I'd prefer to know what I'm buying before I commit to it, cheers all, Emma
I'm no roach expert, but it seems that there is a species called Florida Woods Cockroach (Eurycotis floridana), which may be one of the species kept as a pet. Some sellers offer 'red ruby' cockroaches which they call 'floridiana' variey and which may be a colour mutation of this species.


text: Some of you may have read my thread about my Colt SP1 upper I got about a month ago. I have been chipping away at it for a few weeks. I put it on a Nodak Spud 601 slick side lower with a Fulton Armory LPK in it. I aged the lower parts with naval jelly for that old grey look. The furniture is period correct A1, I wet sanded with 800/1500, kiwi shoe polish then micro fiber buffed them to a shine. I like the hard candy black look with the retro's. Put a GI olive drab sling on and an M8 bayonet. I am happy with how it came out. With all the forgings the upper is from 70-73 but I wanted to do an early 60's military model build. I have a 3 prong flash hider but I am not real sure I want to monkey with taking off of the original. I can't wait to take it out to the desert and shoot it.

WASHINGTON -- The Concord Coalition said today that the Conrad-Feingold-Domenici bipartisan budget enforcement amendment provides a strong and needed dose of fiscal discipline. It sets new discretionary spending caps for two years at tough but achievable levels, extends the pay-as-you-go (paygo) requirement for entitlement expansions and tax cuts, and renews important points of order that enforce discipline.
The rapidly deteriorating budget outlook highlights the importance of this amendment. With sudden speed, budget deficits are back and for the first time in several years there is no clear agreed upon fiscal goal. As a result, open-ended budgeting is back. Rather than setting priorities and making hard choices, Congress and the President are falling back on an old habit - cut taxes, increase spending, eat up the Social Security surplus, and run up the debt. It's a dangerous path to follow when looming just beyond the artificial 10-year budget window are the huge unfunded retirement and health care costs of the coming senior boom.
Restoring a sense of fiscal discipline -- and eventually returning to non-Social Security surpluses -- is a very difficult challenge. It is virtually impossible without the type of enforcement mechanisms established in this amendment.
With the discretionary spending caps, paygo, and vital enforcement points of order scheduled to expire, the choice for policymakers is whether to extend the current mechanisms -- and thus maintain a measure of fiscal discipline -- or to simply let the entire budget enforcement framework expire and be left with renewed deficits and no mechanism for enforcing fiscal discipline.
In Concord's view the choice is clear. Allowing caps, paygo, and 60-vote points of order to expire is an open invitation to fiscal chaos. The Concord Coalition strongly commends and supports this bipartisan effort to restore fiscal discipline to the budget process.

Not to mention his cap hold the summer of 2014(150% of his previous season salary...lol) will be ginormous eating away at any additional little wiggle room we had during Free agency.
Remember all those fans bichin at fans for bichin at Grunwald for not getting it done this off-season saying he only had so much room to work with? Well what do we think will happen if we hike up Melo's salary to the tune of highest paid player in the NBA?
Once he's signed his salary will be more than his Opt In salary of 2014 by about $2-3mil more<--------That right there could be the difference of trying to sign someone like a Copeland talent or not.
Fans will only care once Melo complains he has no help and we're stuck in perpetual mediocrity.

Simple focus, fearlessness give Miley advantage
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Last spring, while everyone was buzzing about some of the top pitching prospects in the D-backs organization, catcher Miguel Montero pulled a reporter aside.
"Keep your eye on Miley," Montero said, referring to left-hander Wade Miley. "He's going to be good."
Miley was easy to overlook, despite having appeared in eight games for the D-backs in 2011, and he seemed a long shot to make the team at the start of the spring.
Miley even had his car all but packed to head to Triple-A Reno when he found out he had made the team. And it wasn't until he pitched well out of the bullpen that he was given a spot in the rotation.
So what was it that Montero saw in Miley?
"I saw that hunger on his face and he was fearless, so it caught my eye," Montero said. "I knew he was going to have a good year."
In a way, Montero's prediction was off the mark. Miley didn't have a good year; he had an exceptional one. He was the lone D-backs player selected to make the All-Star team and he wound up going 16-11 with a 3.33 ERA in 32 games (29 starts).
Miley wound up finishing a close second to the highly-touted Bryce Harper in the National League Rookie of the Year voting.
"He ain't afraid of nothing," Montero said. "He just goes out there and goes after any hitter. Guys who try to pitch around guys or are scared to get hit get into trouble. He wasn't scared of any of that. It shocked me, because when you see that on somebody's face you have to keep your eyes on them because he's a guy you should be afraid of as a hitter."
Miley receives a lot of good-natured teasing from people for some of the things he says -- like saying he hoped to visit Alcatraz Island while the team was in San Diego last summer -- but rest assured Miley is not dumb.
In fact, it could be argued that he's got the smartest approach of anybody on the team because of how he manages to keep things simple.
For instance, rather than worry about what type of pitch to throw a hitter, Miley will let Montero decide that and he'll focus all his attention on making the pitch a good one.
"Miggy's good," Miley said. "I haven't thrown to many catchers comparable to him in terms of his plan and what he wants to do during a game. He's been here for five or six years, he's seen the guys around the league and knows their strength and weaknesses, so why not trust him? It doesn't matter what type of pitch you throw. As long as you make a quality pitch, I think you'll have success."
It's that kind of mental approach that has D-backs general manager Kevin Towers and manager Kirk Gibson believing that Miley will not experience a letdown from last season.
In fact, mention the dreaded "sophomore slump" to Miley and he'll shake his head.
"Why think about that?" he said. "That's my answer. Why even put more pressure on yourself? I just want to go out and pitch. I'm not going to try and do what I did last year. I'm going to go out and pitch and try to help my team win every five days. I'm just going to pitch like I've done my whole life."
Miley credits his ability to focus strictly on the task at hand to Jay Artigues, his coach at Southeastern Louisiana University.
Artigues drilled it into Miley's head that the only thing he could control was the pitch he was throwing at that time, so to give that his full attention. The lack of worrying about things other than throwing the pitch his catcher calls allows Miley to work fast.
"I try not to turn my back on the catcher," Miley said. "Just get it and go. Your defense plays better and the guys you're facing don't like it. Why not use that to an advantage."
If Miley does slip, he has Montero there to keep him on track.
Earlier this spring, Montero noticed Miley thinking too much on the mound and saw that his mechanics were not as good. Prior to Miley's next bullpen session, Montero pulled him aside.
"I said, 'I really don't want you to think right now because you're a guy that doesn't think,'" Montero told him. "'You just go out there and let it go.' As long as he stays healthy and stays on top of his body and in shape, he could be even better with experience."
Miley recently had a brief bout with a "dead arm" period that pitchers typically go through at some point during the spring, but after skipping a start, he appears to be back on target to start the season on time.
"I just hit a wall, but I feel great now," Miley said.
