Some of you know i have a touch & sew 758 that kind of works. I Haven't had time to work on her anymore but I wanted to get some suggestions, in the event that I can't get her running what do you guys suggest I replace her with? (I probably won't toss the machine. Probably shelve it) my requirements are simple:
Electirc (I'm sure shes not terriably interested in treadling her self. Thinks its cool though)
Just straight stitch is fine (she never used the cams on her 758)
and simple to thread/wind the bobbin. (she is apperantly bobbin challenged like me! Haha)
Singer preferred simply because she wants to keep the cabinet. (but if you think it will fit then I'm game for other brands!
And no "plastic fantastic" :P
Any suggestions?? This is my mothers machine so it will be for her. :) Thanks in advance!

Triple Shadow Brings 2 FROM THE SEA to La MaMa, 10/18-11/4
La Mama E.T.C. presents the World Premiere of Triple Shadow's new theater production, 2 FROM THE SEA, composed of two solo adaptations of plays whose themes are based on stories of the sea: Holiday Memory by Dylan Thomas, performed by Seamus Maynard, and Riders to the Sea by John Millington Synge, performed by Mari Andrejco. Both are directed by Beth Skinner and feature live music composed and performed by Edward Herbst. Lighting design is by Bessie and Drama Desk-winner Paul Clay (RENT), and scenic design is by Obie Award-winner Jun Maeda. The three-week season runs October 18 through November 4 at La Mama E.T.C., 74 East 4th Street, NYC.
Holiday Memory, adapted from a radio play by Dylan Thomas, is a wistful childhood recollection of a day at the seaside, and the excitement of the family as they prepare in the playwright's childhood home - a house on a hill overlooking Swansea Bay in South Wales. Thomas's memories are joyful and his words musical: "A slap of sea and a tickle of sand. A fanfare of sunshades opening." After a long day, the tired family returns up the hill: "And as we climbed home, up the gas-lit hill, to the still house over the mumbling bay, we heard the music die and the voices drift like sand." Accompanied by an original musical score for harmonium, mandolin and toy piano, intertwined with traditional Celtic songs performed by Edward Herbst, actor Seamus Maynard ignites our collective memories.
In Riders to the Sea, set in the Aran Islands, John Millington Synge refers to the annual Gaelic harvest festival "Samhain," held October 31 through November 1. The festival marks the end of harvesting and the lighter half of the year while ushering in the beginning of the dark season. Triple Shadow's adaption sets the time of the play during Samhain, when the boundaries between the world of the living and that of the dead become thinner, allowing spirits to pass between the worlds. Solo actor Mari Andrejco plays Cathleen, recalling the fateful day her mother lost her last two sons to the sea. Cathleen leaves a window open to the west with a light burning to guide the departed home and sets places at the table for her six brothers, father, and grandfather, all lost at sea. Music composed and performed by Edward Herbst includes traditional Irish songs.
MARI ANDREJCO (actor) has toured with Triple Shadow to Pantelleria Italy, Cairo Egypt, and Chiapas Mexico. She has appeared on stage, television and video, appearing as Queen Elizabeth I and Susan B. Anthony on PBS and working with Shakespeare and Company. Her most recent role was a Emily Dickinson in Triple Shadow's production of "The Belle of Amherst."
SEAMUS MAYNARD (actor) has performed with Le Groupov-Belgian National Theater, Julian Crouch's Improbable Theater at Walker Arts Center, Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, the Actor's Ensemble, and London's Barbican. He studied at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
Composer/musicIan Edward HERBST has performed his solo vocal improvisations at Festivals and Theaters in Montreal, Geneva, and Maxico. He was commissioned by Sardono Kusumo's experimental Indonesian dance-theatre company to collaborate on Maha Buta as well as Sardono's film "The Sorceress of Dirah." His book, "Voices in Bali: Energies and Perceptions in Vocal Music and Dance Theater," was published by Wesleyan University Press.
Director BETH SKINNER has received numerous grants from the NEA Theater, Opera-Musical Theater and Multidisciplinary Programs, NYSCA, and Massachusetts Cultural Council, collaborating with artists from Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, Romania, Hungary and Russia. She has studied and performed mask-dance theater in Indonesia with I Nyoman Kakul and other masters, and researched traditional and experimental performance practice, sponsored by the Indonesia Dance Academy in Bali.
Paul Clay designed the set for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical RENT, and has done design work for such noted artists and companies as Mabou Mines, Tom Noonan, Hal Hartley, Louis Andriessen, and David Dorfman.
Jun Maeda received an Obie Award for Sustained Excellence in Set Design in 1981. He has worked with Andrei Serban, Joseph Chaiken, John Jesurun, Ellen Stewart, and The Talking Band, among others.
TRIPLE SHADOW, founded and directed by Skinner and Herbst, celebrates its 20th year of being presented by La Mama E.T.C. Their productions since 1992 include Alice: End of Daze, Sea Change, Arctic Circle and Encircling Tides. The Company has appeared internationally at the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre in Egypt, the Festival Pantelleria, Italy, and productions in Chiapas, Mexico and Budapest, Hungary. For more information, visit www.tripleshadow.org.
La MaMa Experimental Theatre is a world-renowned cultural organization founded by Ellen Stewart. For 51 years, La MaMa has passionately pursued its original mission to develop, nurture, support, produce and present new and original performance work by artists of all nations and cultures. The organization believes that in order to flourish, art needs the company of colleagues, the spirit of collaboration, the comfort of continuation, a public forum in which to be evaluated, and fiscal support. Since La Mama's doors first opened in 1961, their primary dedication has been to new works, and many of the best plays and playwrights of the 60's and 70's have come from their lower East Side stages and workshops.
The show will run October 18 through November 4 (Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays at 7:30 PM; Sundays at 2:30 PM) at La Mama E.T.C., 74A East 4th Street (First Floor Theatre). Tickets: $18; $13 for seniors & students. Reservations: 212.475.7710 or www.lamama.org.

SNOW HILL – The completed initial work on the Route 50 service road is a quarter of a million dollars under budget, Public Works Director John Tustin reported to the County Commissioners Tuesday.
Phase 1A, the beginning of the project, was finished earlier this year. The work cleaned up and straightened out the Holly Grove Rd. and Route 50 intersection and constructed turning lanes.
"We took that dangerous curve out and widened it up," said Tustin.
The original cost of $1,357,703 fell to $1,101,005, saving $254,730, through a combination of small and large savings created by needing less materials. Less topsoil was needed than originally planned, for example, saving $27,923.
"When I rode through it looked good," said Commission President Virgil Shockley. "Compared to what it was, it was a 100-percent improvement."
"More than 100 percent," said Commissioner Bud Church.
The next phase, construction of the first section of the service road from Holly Grove Rd. west to Wal-Mart and Home Depot, and then all the way to Route 589, must wait on right-of-way negotiations.
The county has three of the four easements needed, but not one crucial one, allowing the road to be built though a property lying between Holly Grove Rd. and the big box stores.
Tustin said the next step would be negotiations with the parcel owner over that easement.
"I hope to have construction started by next spring. That'd be great," Tustin said later. "Still a lot of things up in the air."
Construction at the big box store properties would be undertaken by site work contractors hired by the store, as they will already be on site for work on the new Wal-Mart. The county will pay for that work.
"We'll have to negotiate those prices," Tustin said. "We'll know those prices before they start."
The second phase of the service road will stretch from Route 589 west to Seahawk Rd. "We don't know when phase II will start," Tustin said.
Later in July, Tustin will bring further updates on the service road to the commissioners, specifically the design proposal for phase II.
The county took on the project itself after several attempts to get the state interested in the initiative as long ago as 2003.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King did not give his life just for Black Americans, but for all Americans. He knew America could be better. He knew the America that was birthed with the hope of "liberty for all" excluded hundreds of thousands of people.
As he said in his famous sermon that is so often referred to as the "I Have a Dream" speech,
In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
In this "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom," tens of thousands of people from all corners of the nation gathered to insist on that which they knew to be true — that America must "make justice a reality for all of God's children."
I write this article because as I peruse on the web, I grieve the number of churches and theological institutions of higher learning that don't have anything listed on their calendars for Dr. King's birthday. And I write because of what happened some twenty years ago.
Our church secretary was completing the calendar for the church newsletter and had included a picture of the Rev. Dr. King. One of the church elders came in the office and muttered in disgust. When I sought more information the elder said, "As far as I'm concerned, King went to Memphis looking for trouble, he found it, and I'm glad."
We who are ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (and, I would add in the tradition of Rabbi Abraham Heschel who stood and marched with Dr. King, any leader of faith) must, by definition, determine who we are to be. If we concur with Mary in Luke 1 that God "has satisfied the hungry with good things and sent the rich away with empty hands," then Dr. King lived the truth of that with courage.
If we follow the Jesus who said that the Spirit of the Lord was on him to "preach Good News to the poor" and "that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors," then very few have lived these words like Dr. King. (And let me add, parenthetically, that those who refuse to honor Dr. King because of his dalliances should also no longer quote the Psalms.)
The gift of Martin Luther King Sunday is not just to honor the person of Dr. King but, rather, to honor what he preached. And to garner the courage to live what he preached!
Recently more young people were murdered in Chicago. People cluck their tongues about "bad" areas of town. The Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of Chicago's St. Sabina Catholic Church, whose own foster son was killed in street violence a number of years ago, wisely observed:
"Englewood has again been demonized as this community of violence. I believe that we should and must change a day where violence is acceptable and code of silence the norm, but as we talk about the violence in Englewood let's also talk about the violence AGAINST Englewood! HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT, POOR SCHOOLS, DRIED UP RESOURCES, HIGHEST AMOUNT OF ABANDONED BUILDINGS, and the list goes on. These realities create a Perfect Storm for violence and crime. Let's look at the cause as well as the effect!"
We live in a nation where "racism is in the air we breathe and the water we drink," as the Rev. Dr. Gardner Taylor (a confidant of Dr. King) observes. We who are in the majority culture must acknowledge and confess that we benefit from the privileges we receive.
As a Pew Research Center analysis revealed this past summer, "The median wealth of white households is 20 times that of black households and 18 times that of Hispanic households." The promissory note continues to be returned, marked "insufficient funds."
No, singing "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" does not ameliorate anything. But one cannot address any injustice without acknowledging it.
Dedicating a Sunday — even in an all-white church (perhaps particularly in an all-white church) — where the injustice is named from the pulpit is the beginning of a conversation that continues to be too rare in our nation.
Rev. Ruth Hawley-Lowry is a pastor in Michigan who is looking for the next place where she might "break the silence."

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Samurai8472, Feb 26, 2013.
Did an image search for her on Google.
She's hot enough for the part.
Agreed. Again, not to malign the looks of this young woman (and who knows what stage makeup will do to her) but MJ is supposed to be the epitome of the Perfect 10. The only reason why she's even aware of the existence of Peter Parker is because they were neighbors and because Aunt May was trying to play matchmaker.
I don't think this girl quite fits the "look" of the Perfect-10 Mary Jane. Again, she's pretty and everything but just from the pictures I've seen of her alone she doesn't really seem to fit the "look" of MJ common in comics. MJ is supposed to be stop-your-heart gorgeous. Which is pretty much what happens when Peter finally meets her face-to-face.
I don't feel this girl quite has this quality. But, we'll see. Maybe it'll be pulled off. I wonder if, then, they'll do the "Death of Gwen Stacy" storyline with Green Goblin's Sophie's Choice Gambit. I'd hate to lose Emma Stone in this franchise but if they did that storyline I'll be highly impressed.
-- Looking at more pictures of her it does seem with enough hair/make-up work she can be the gorgeous Perfect-10 expected of MJ. It's possible these more candid stage shots just aren't serving her well.
Christ, people - the paparazzi have made an industry out of demonstrating that actors and models can look plain and even unattractive without their makeup, in the wrong outfit or outdoor light. How anyone can be so naive this late in the day as to look at the candids of this kid on the Spider-Man set and not get the fact that she's not in make-up or character is...puzzling, to be kind.
Has anyone made the obligatory "I'm officially worried about this movie, now" post regarding ASM2, yet?
I look forward to their take on Mary Jane.
However I really don't want to lose Gwen. And I didn't even really like Gwen before this last movie, Mary Jane's always been Spidey's girl to me.
She looks more like Ultimate Mary Jane who's supposed to be a teenage beauty and more "down to Earth" than her 616 counterpart. I like the casting a lot and think she'll do great.
I think Woodley is gorgeous, even in the pictures linked.
What am I missing?
Agreed. I never cared for MJ being some drop-dead gorgeous supermodel anyway. It makes Peter look shallow as hell (and don't give me that "oh, well he sees what a good person she is inside" bullshit either).
I'd much rather they get someone who's charming and adorable and the type of girl someone like Peter really WOULD fall for.
Except that movie characters are frequently not the same as their comics counterparts, as we've seen time and time again. Heck, Raimi's MJ was pretty revisionist herself -- she was never a supermodel or a movie actress, but focused on theater, a direction that the comics' MJ never began to explore until two years after the first movie. And she never had the party-girl personality of the comics' MJ. Plus Peter knew her in high school.
So we can't assume this movie's version of MJ will be a copy of the comics' version any more than Dunst's MJ was. Maybe this is perfect casting for the version of MJ that this movie has created.
And if anyone's thinking that Gwen isn't supposed to be just as hot as MJ, you need to do some remedial reading. Gwen was introduced in her very first panel as "the ex-beauty queen of Standard High, as if you couldn't tell!" Although Ditko couldn't sell it the way Romita could. Note that that panel of Gwen dancing takes place while she's at a party with MJ, and depicts her quite successfully stealing the spotlight from MJ's dancing. There seems to be a perception these days that Gwen was supposed to be the plainer, more girl-next-door type, but the fact is that she was always meant to be every bit as stunning as MJ. Her nickname was even "Gorgeous Gwendy." She filled the role of the stunner who was out of Peter's league well before MJ became a featured character.
Peter wasn't interested in her until he met her. It wasn't that he fell in love with her looks he fell in love with HER. Just because she happened to be gorgeous doesn't make him shallow.
Having made a similar search, I withdraw my previous objection and now tend to agree with My Name is Legion. I will withhold final judgement until I see actual shots from the movie.
JD posted the first stills of Woodley as MJ on the previous page. I really don't see what the big deal about her is. Kirsten Dunst wasn't exactly the knockout MJ was supposed to be either (and I say this as a big Kirsten fan).
MJ 616 is supposed to be the hot supermodel with more to her than meets the eye (that's why Peter falls in love with her as Trekker mentioned) but it's quite clear from the casting that they don't intend Woodley to be 616 MJ. I get even more of an Ultimate Spider-Man feel from this film than I did the original.
i feel like i wandered into the lady of the week thread for a moment there.
Well, plenty of people had their problems with Dunst playing MJ, as well. Again, I really think Emma Stone would've been a perfect fit for MJ.
I googled the actress in question, and my first thought was "You're f-ing kidding me." And no, I'm not talking about how the actress looks or whether she's suitable for the part. I'm talking about all these guys who are saying she's plain looking.
^That photo isn't unflattering. She looks more like someones adorable little sister.
So maybe the bombshell red head thing just doesn't fit with Webbs Vision.
Peter will meet a down to earth Mary Jane who becomes very important later in life.
It's a more realistic approach I suppose. Two normal people getting together
Stay tuned for next weeks lady of the week hint lol
I think she looks very plain in those pictures, but it is when she doesn't have any makeup on.
Those topics were renamed from "Babe" to "Lady"?
I'm firmly in the "Emma should have been MJ" camp - and honestly this MJ is as far away from Comics MJ as you can get.
I mean she's cute - but I dunno, even with makeup I don't see her being this "ravishing future super model". Gwen looked more "put together" in her night gown than this one does at school.
She might surprise us - never know. BUT all I ask for is that she's got a vivacious, fun, party girl, sorta wild personality. Even if she doesn't "LOOK" like a drop dead gorgeous diva - she should at least project that. Like a "I may not be the hottest girl here, but I'm gonna have fun anyway!" sort of attitude and that's what makes her "hot".
I'm still relieved to see that they are trying to world build and do more than just explore what was set up in the first movie. It seemed like the Raimi movies sort of had all the set up in the first and the second and third basically retread on elements from the first.
She's beautiful.
Lol. Yeah I'm sure that's what every guy says who's dating a sexy supermodel. He fell in love with her brain.
Separate names with a comma.

Cuddyer's success against Buehrle continues
By Tom Green / MLB.com
"I saw something I've never seen before in 11 years -- that one guy in our lineup tonight has 104 at-bats against the starting pitcher," Tracy said. "I thought it was a misprint at first. I thought it was a misprint, but this definitely connotates history."
That hitter, of course, was right fielder Michael Cuddyer, who has fared well against Buehrle during his career, while Cuddyer played with the Twins and Buehrle with the White Sox.
Entering Monday, Cuddyer had hit .317 with three homers, 10 doubles and 11 RBIs when facing the veteran southpaw. The 104 at-bats are the most among any Rockies player against Buehrle, with the next closest being catcher Ramon Hernandez, who had faced the lefty 39 times.
Cuddyer's track record against Miami's soft-throwing veteran, combined with a 3-for-4 effort Sunday to break a 0-for-13 slump, was enough to convince Tracy to move Cuddyer into the cleanup spot, dropping Troy Tulowitzki to fifth in the order and Todd Helton to sixth. The move paid dividends early, with Cuddyer hitting a two-run double off Buehrle in the first inning Monday. Tulowitzki followed with a two-run homer.
The lineup change marked the fourth time Cuddyer has batted cleanup, and the Rockies are 2-1 in the previous three games. Despite the offense sputtering during the last few games, the club ranked seventh in the Majors in runs scored, and Tracy admitted he didn't want to make any "astounding" changes to the lineup, only subtle ones.
Colorado's skipper was also noncommittal when asked if batting Cuddyer cleanup was just for Monday, or if he would see how it plays out and consider it as a long-term change.
"If our club is going to jell offensively, it's not by me tinkering with the lineup every single day," Tracy said. "It's just an opportunity to give some guys the chance to relax a little bit and go out there and do their thing, and hopefully the waters will settle and offensively we can get to where we want to be."
Nelson working his way back from wrist issue
MIAMI -- Third baseman Chris Nelson is inching closer to his return to the Rockies' lineup.
Nelson has dealt with inflammation in his left wrist since April 25, when he injured it in Pittsburgh while diving to make a play. The injury did not immediately improve, and the Rockies placed Nelson on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, retroactive to May 15.
"You don't want to be on the disabled list," Nelson said last week. "It's nothing you want to be proud of.
"But at the same time, I'm not really helping my team or helping myself. I just need to get it back healthy. Especially hitting with my wrist, and diving and all that good stuff, this is a learning experience."
Nelson is eligible for reinstatement on May 31, and manager Jim Tracy doesn't anticipate Nelson being out longer than that. Tracy said the third baseman will join the club's Triple-A affiliate, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, this week while they host the Oklahoma City RedHawks.
"I don't have the schedule in front of me, but he is going to play with the Triple-A club within the next day or so and begin his rehab," Tracy said.
Nelson had a history of various injuries during his Minor League career, and often received criticism for repeated injuries. Before landing on the DL, Nelson was hitting .219 with five doubles and seven RBIs in 24 games for the Rockies, including 20 starts at third base.
Despite slump, Helton remains in lineup
MIAMI -- First baseman Todd Helton has been mired in a month-long slump, but that doesn't mean Rockies manager Jim Tracy's confidence in him is wavering.
Entering Monday, Helton was hitting just .170 with a .191 slugging percentage in May and was homerless in his last 51 at-bats. Helton has seen his batting average dip to .219, the lowest it has been going into a game since the first week of the season, when he was hitting .211 going into a series opener against the D-backs on April 13.
Despite the struggles, Tracy still has confidence in -- and respect for -- Helton's hitting ability. When asked if he considered starting Jason Giambi, who has hit .414 with four homers in 29 career at-bats against Marlins lefty Mark Buehrle, Tracy brushed off the possibility, saying "the guy that plays first base for us, he's also a pretty good hitter."
"I've said many times, when you're dealing with a player of that magnitude and things aren't quite working out the way he'd like them to be at this time, he's also the same guy that's one good swing away from being the hottest hitter in the league," Tracy said.

One of my favorite parts about being a child was the birthday party magician. I regularly attended birthday parties prominently featuring magicians, and to prove the faith I had in them and their magical ways, I would systematically go through all of their belongings and find the methods to their supposed "magic." Needless to say I was not their favorite audience member.
This video I post today, however, is a reminder of why it's good to believe in magic, and how things like a cup and ball can be marvelous and hilarious with some simple--what the heck, magical--sleight of hand.

Fox's Regimental Losses
Chapter IV.
Loss in Officers--List of Generals Killed--Surgeons and Chaplains Killed
THE loss in officers killed or wounded, in proportion to their number, was in excess of that of their men. Of the total number killed and wounded during the war, there were 6,365 officers, and 103,705 enlisted men; or, one officer to 16 men. In the common regimental organization there was one officer to 28 men; and this proportion would have consequently required only one officer to 28 men among the killed. The loss of officers, however, was not so excessive as the difference in these ratios would indicate; for, as the ranks became depleted the latter proportion was not maintained. In the Army of the Potomac, just before starting on the Wilderness campaign, the morning reports showed one officer to every 21 men "present for duty, equipped." As this latter proportion was a frequent one, it may be assumed that the difference between it and the actual ratio in the killed indicates fairly the excess of the loss in officers.
At Gettysburg, the officers lost 27 per cent. in killed and wounded, while the enlisted men lost 21 per cent.,-- as based on the number engaged. At Shiloh, the loss in officers killed and wounded was 21.3 per cent., and in men 17.9 per cent.,-- as based on the morning reports of Grant's six divisions.
This greater loss among the officers did not occur because they were so much braver than the men in the ranks, but because the duties of their position while under fire involved a greater personal exposure. Sharpshooters were always on the alert to pick them off; and, even in the confusion of a hot musketry fire, any soldier, no matter how poor a marksman, would turn his rifle on any conspicuous man in the opposing ranks whose appearance indicated that he might be an officer. In close quarters, guns were not apt to be aimed at privates if a Lieutenant was in sight near by. There was just as good stuff in the ranks as in the line; in fact, the line officers were recruited almost entirely from the ranks; but when the gallant private donned an officer's uniform, he found his chances not at all improved, to say the least.
This additional exposure is well illustrated by a comparison of the casualties at Gettysburg with those of the Wilderness. In the first named battle the percentage of loss among the officers was one-half greater than in the latter. At Gettysburg, the fighting was done in open fields, where the officers were in full view; at the Wilderness, the fighting was done in dense thickets which concealed the opposing armies. In the latter, both officers and men were hidden by the leafy screens, and hence their casualty lists show a like percentage of loss.
In the Franco-Prussian war there was a remarkable excess of loss among the German officers. The percentages of killed and mortally wounded in the entire German army were: Enlisted men, 3.1; Line officers, 8.0; Staff officers, 9.6.
The largest number of officers killed in any infantry regiment in the Union Armies is found in the Sixty-first Pennsylvania, of the Sixth Corps, in which 19 officers were killed or mortally wounded during the war. Among the number were three colonels: Col. Rippey was killed at Fair Oaks; Col. Spear fell while leading a successful assault on Marye's Heights; and Col. Crosby, who had lost an arm at Fort Stevens, was killed in the final and victorious assault on Petersburg. The total loss of the Sixty-first in killed and died of wounds, was 19 officers and 218 enlisted men; total, 237. It was a gallant regiment and was bravely led, as its loss in officers clearly shows.
The following list embraces every regiment which lost 16 or more officers killed during the war:
Regiment Division Corps Killed 61st Pennsylvania Getty's Sixth 19 5th New Hampshire Barlow's Second 18 12th Massachusetts Robinson's First 18 48th New York Terry's Tenth 18 73d New York Hooker's Third 18 81st Pennsylvania Barlow's Second 18 145th Pennsylvania Barlow's Second 18 31st Maine Potter's Ninth 18 20th Massachusetts Gibbon's Second 17 14th Connecticut Gibbon's Second 17 62d Pennsylvania Griffin's Fifth 17 63d Pennsylvania Birney's Third 17 5th Michigan Birney's Third 16 16th Massachusetts Humphreys's Third 16 61st New York Barlow's Second 16 l26th New York Barlow's Second 16 82d Ohio Schurz's Eleventh 16 100th Pennsylvania Stevenson's Ninth 16 6th Wisconsin Wadsworth's First 16
Heavy Artillery
1st Maine Birney's Second 23 8th New York Gibbon's Second 19
A heavy artillery regiment had just twice as many line officers as an infantry regiment. The largest regimental loss of officers killed in any one battle, occurred in the Seventh New Hampshire at the assault on Fort Wagner, the regiment losing 11 officers killed or mortally wounded in that bloody affair. Among the killed was Col. Putnam, who fell after he had gained an entrance within the outer works of the fort. He was a graduate of West Point and an officer of the Regular Army; like many other Regular officers he had received permission to accept the command of a volunteer regiment.
The Twenty-second New York Infantry lost at Manassas 19 officers killed and wounded out of 24 present in action; 9 of them were killed, among whom was the Lieutenant-Colonel, Gorton T. Thomas.
The following list includes every infantry regiment in the service which lost 8 or more officers killed in any one engagement:
Regiment Battle Division Corps Killed 7th New Hampshire Fort Wagner Seymour's Tenth 11 7th New York Fredericksburg Hancock's Second 9 22d New York Manassas Hatch's First 9 59th New York Antietam Sedgwick's Second 9 145th Pennsylvania Fredericksburg Hancock's Second 9 43d Illinois Shiloh McClernand's ---------- 8 87th Indiana Chickamauga Braiman's Fourteenth 8 1st Michigan Manassas Morell's Fifth 8 14th New Hampshire Opequon Grover's Nineteenth 8 24th Michigan Gettysburg Wadsworth's First 8 120th New York Gettysburg Humphreys's Third 8
In addition, mention should be made of the loss of officers in the heavy artillery at certain battles. The First Maine H. A. lost 12 officers, killed or wounded, at Spotsylvania, May 19th, of whom 6 were killed or mortally wounded; and at Petersburg, June 18th, the same regiment lost 32 officers, killed or wounded, of whom 10 lost their lives. In the Eighth New York Heavy Artillery, 9 officers were killed at Cold Harbor. But the large number of extra officers allowed these regiments will not admit of their classification with the infantry regiments just mentioned.
There is a remarkable difference between the loss of officers in battle and by disease, as compared with that of the enlisted men. In battle, one officer was killed for every 16 enlisted men; but, among the deaths from disease, one officer died to every 72 men, and in the colored regiments, one officer to every 215 men. The officers had better facilities for purchasing food, and were furnished with better quarters while in camp; but in an active campaign, in bivouac or on the march, they encountered substantially the same exposure and privation; they were exposed to the same storms and their food was equally scanty. There was not enough of difference in the fare to account for this remarkable difference in the death-rate. It might account for some of it, but for the greater part the reason must be looked for elsewhere.
The general officers never hesitated in time of battle to share the danger with the men whenever it became necessary. The gallantry with which they were wont to expose themselves is fully evidenced by the long list of those who were killed.

There were also 23 Brevet Brigadier-Generals who were killed in action, but who were without brigade commands. They were regimental or staff officers whose brevets, in most instances, dated from the day they were killed. There were 35 general officers who died of disease during the war. Among them wereseveral prominent and able officers-- Generals Sumner, C. F. Smith, Birney, Mitchel, Welsh, Buford, Corcoran, Ransom, Crocker, and other noted generals.
A large number of brigades were commanded by Colonels, some of whom held a brigade command for a long time, during which they displayed marked ability, but without any recognition of their services on the part of the Government. The list of Brigadiers killed in action would convey an erroneous impression as to the losses in that grade,, unless accompanied by a supplementary list of the other brigade commanders who also lost their lives in battle.
The following list is composed of Colonels who had been entrusted with brigades, and were exercising such commands at the time of their death. They were men of noble spirits, intrepid soldiers, whose gallantry and ability had won the admiration and respect of all.

In each regiment there were officers whose duties did not require that they should go into action-- the Chaplain, the Quartermaster, and the Surgeons. Although they had no tactical position in the line of battle, there was a loss of life among their number which entitles them to some other place in the records of the war than that of mere non-combatants. Many of them waived their exemption from danger, and gallantly volunteered for service in the field; while others-- the surgeons, for instance-- attended calmly to the performance of their duties amid perils which would test the stoutest heart.
Though the surgeons seldom took an active part in a battle, they were required to be near, and much of the time were under fire. Some of them went on the field with their regiments in order to render timely aid; others were stationed near by at some field hospital, where they often found themselves exposed to serious danger. During the war, 40 Surgeons were killed and 73 wounded while bravely attending to their duties on the battle field. They had not the excitement of the fight to dull their sense of danger; they had not the incentive of promotion; they were not spurred by ambitious hopes; victory might bring laurels to others, but not to them; they met their fate, actuated and sustained by no other impulse than the sense of duty.
Many Surgeons died from disease while in the service, and their names also lengthen the Roll of Honor. A record of these patriots,-- their names and regiments, and the battles in which they lost their lives,-- appears in the Medical and Surgical History of the war.
Several lives were also lost among the Quartermasters, some of them having been killed while serving as volunteer aids, while others fell while attending to the duties of their position when under fire. Among the first to scale the heights of Missionary Ridge was a Quartermaster-Sergeant of a Michigan regiment, who had borrowed a gun and volunteered for the fight.
It will, doubtless, be a surprise to many to note the number of Chaplains killed in battle. These gallant members of the Church Militant were wont to take a more active part in the fighting than has been generally credited to them. They were frequently seen in the thickest of the fight, some of them handling a rifle with the skill of a marksman, while others, unarmed, would move about among their men encouraging them to do their best.
Among the Chaplains killed in action, there were:
Rev Arthur B Fuller 16th Massachusetts Fredericksburg Rev Orlando N Benton 51st New York New Berne Rev John M Springer 3d Wisconsin Resaca Rev Francis E Butler 25th New Jersey Siege of Suffolk Rev John L Walther 43d Illinois Shiloh Rev Levi W Sanders 125th Illinois Caldwell's Ferry Rev John W Eddy 72d Indiana Hoover's Gap Rev Horatio S Howell 90th Pennsylvania Gettysburg Rev Thomas L Ambrose 12th New Hampshire Petersburg Rev George W Bartlett 1st Maine Cavalry Cold Harbor Rev George W Densmore 1st Wisconsin Cavalry L'Anguille Ferry
In addition, there were several who lost their lives by the diseases incident to the hardship and exposure of a soldier's life.
Chaplain Fuller, of the Sixteenth Massachusetts, had resigned from the service and had just received his discharge, when he learned that his regiment was about to go into action, at Fredericksburg. Crossing the river in the boats with the forlorn hope, he joined the skirmishers of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, who were then fighting their way through the streets. He fell dead, rifle in hand, in front of a grocery store on Caroline Street.
Springer, of the Third Wisconsin, fell mortally wounded at Resaca, after having "seized a musket" and fought for four hours in the "hottest of the fight."
Howell, of the Ninetieth Pennsylvania, was shot at Gettysburg during the retreat through the town, and died on the steps of a church.
Butler was killed at the Siege of Suffolk, while carrying water to some wounded men.
Bartlett, of the First Maine Cavalry, was killed at Cold Harbor. He was struck in the breast by a shell and "literally blown to pieces."
Benton fell at New Berne, and General Reno states in his official report that he "was killed while nobly encouraging the men to do their duty."
Eddy, of the Seventy-second Indiana, fell at Hoover's Gap, Tenn., struck by a cannon ball. Of Chaplain Ambrose, who was killed in the trenches at Petersburg, the regimental historian says that "a braver man never lived; a truer man never wore the garb of Christianity."
At Resaca, among the Confederate dead which lay so thickly in front of the Twenty-seventh Indiana, was a family group: a gray-haired Chaplain and his two sons.
The official reports make frequent mention of Chaplains whose gallantry and zeal had attracted the notice of their general. In the Chancellorsville reports, General Berdan, commander of the famous Sharpshooters, states that "Chaplain Barber, of the Second Regiment, took a rifle and went in with the skirmishers, with his usual bravery."
At Antietam, Gen. J. R. Brooke mentions in his report "the brave Chaplain of the Sixty -sixth New York, Rev. Mr. Dwight, who was constantly in the field, in the thickest of the fight."
Gen. Giles A. Smith, in his report of the battle of Atlanta (July 22d), states that Chaplain Bennett, of the Thirty-second Ohio, "carried his musket and fought all day in the ranks, which I learn is his custom on all such occasions."
The officers of a brigade petitioned that Chaplain H. C. Trumbull, of the Tenth Connecticut, be brevetted a Major; stating that, "always at his post in time of danger, he has, on two occasions at least, displayed marked and conspicuous gallantry; dashing into the thickest of the fight to rally and encourage the wavering line." Gen. Terry forwarded the paper with the endorsement: "No officer of his regiment has displayed more gallantry in action, or done more to animate the men to do their duty."
Aside from such notices, these men have not received the recognition due their services, but lack of space forbids further mention here.
Many of the Chaplains had served in the ranks as enlisted men prior to their appointment. They were regularly ordained clergymen, whose patriotic zeal had impelled them to exchange their pulpits for the camp; so, when a vacancy occurred in the chaplaincy of a regiment to which any such belonged, the Colonel was very apt to recommend the clerical musket-bearer, whose gallantry perhaps had already attracted his attention.
In this connection, mention should also be made of the many clergymen who left their pastoral duties to accept commissions in the army, some of whom held regimental or brigade commands. Among the brigade commanders killed at Cold Harbor was the Rev. Jeremiah C. Drake, Colonel of the One Hundred and Twelfth New York, an officer conspicuous for gallant and meritorious service on many occasions. A similar instance is found in the Confederate Army in the case of Bishop Polk, a corps-general, who fell while on the Atlanta campaign.
The musicians formed a numerous class among the non combatants. Although their legitimate duty in time of battle was confined to that of stretcher-bearers, they often participated in the fighting. At Shiloh, the band of the Forty-eighth Ohio laid aside their instruments, procured rifles, and went into the fight, where two of their number were killed. Still, it must be confessed that the dead drummer-boy was not so common a feature on the field as might be inferred from the work of battle-field artists.
The frequent loss of life among the stretcher-bearers attests the faithful work of the men employed in that duty, most of whom were musicians. At the battle of the Weldon Railroad, the ambulance train of the Fifth Corps lost 2 sergeants killed and 6 stretcher-men wounded: 8 horses were killed, and shells passed through two of the ambulances. This was not an uncommon experience. This Page last updated 11/17/02

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (release) -- Tennessee couldn't have asked for better momentum heading into its meeting with No. 1 Alabama Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.
Freshman Marquez North made a name for himself for one of the most clutch catches that any of the Vol coaches had seen in their careers.
North, who has a habit of reeling in one-handed catches for big yardage, outmuscled Ahmad Christian for a 39-yard gain to put the Vols in field goal position and set up the victory.
"Up there, right there, especially where we are at as a program, just everything that catch meant," said wide receiver coach Zach Azzanni. "But I tell you what there were a lot of plays that led up to that catch to help that out. Justin Worley made an unbelievable throw as he got hit and we got a piece of the defense end with the back and the line held up we just get out small part with making the catch."
North's name was trending WORLDWIDE for 15 minutes after his one-handed, game-changing grab and nationally for 25 minutes.
But the play would never have been made if there wasn't a mindset change to attack.
"Attacking the ball in the air and going to get it," said Azzanni of North's mindset. "He wasn't going that early on in camp and early on in the season. There were a couple that he could have done that earlier in the season and he didn't. We have really focused on that. He came up big and used all the things that we did and worked on and came down with a couple."
Azzanni isn't surprised in North's ability. The freshman finished the game with just three catches, but for 102 yards.
"The first two [catches]I know how they happened," said Azzanni. "He went and he did what we had been working on."
The final grab...
"Now that last one was just him being him," said Azzanni. "He made a heck of a play. You don't teach that one. He was confident because he made those first two. It was really neat for him to come down with that, just to give him some confidence and give everyone confidence."
North's on-field confidence hasn't changed who he is off the field.
"He is the same kid," said Azzanni. "He is pretty even keeled that is what I like about him. He is pretty simple and pretty even keeled and he comes to work which is why he is improving."
Speaking for the first time since senior kicker Michael Palardy drilled a 19-yard field goal to snap the Vols' 19-game losing streak to ranked teams, special teams coach Mark Elder said Palardy's success on Saturdays starts at Haslam Field.
"It comes down to he is consistent in practice," said Elder. "That is the biggest thing. You are going to play on Saturday how you practice during the week. He comes out here and he performs well in practice and he takes that confidence of doing well Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to the field on Saturday and does well."
Not only is Palardy shining as a placekicker in 2013, but the Florida native is getting it done on the punt and kickoff units, where he's sent 16 deep for touchbacks.
"Being able to get the ball deep in the end zone is huge," said Elder. "Being able to place the ball in the proper spot, if it is not in the end zone is also equally important because everyone is sending their coverage unit a certain direction, whether it is middle, right or left.
"It is critical that if it's not deep in the end zone where they are taking a knee that you get it in the right spot. He has done a really nice job as far as the depth of his kicks, here and there he can improve slightly on his accuracy with that. But by in large he is doing a nice job as far as punting, placing, kicking and kicking off."
On the other side of the ball this week, Elder believes special teams have played a huge role in the Crimson Tide's No. 1 ranking and 7-0 record.
"Absolutely... their punting, I think they are 10th in the country; they are averaging something like 47 yards a punt. He (Cody Mandell) is outstanding. Kicking off, they are difficult to get the ball past the 20-yard line. I am certain that the kicker can put the ball deep in the end zone, but they just put it inside the five and force you to return the ball. They do a remarkable job in their coverage unit.
"Obviously, a couple big returns for touchdowns, they blocked a punt and they are extremely dynamic in the return game. Their special teams, just as much as their defense or offense, it is one-third of the reason why they are winning their ball games there is no doubt."
Forty-four consecutive games.
Senior offensive lineman Ja'Wuan James has started every game of his Tennessee career at right tackle. Staying at the top of your game for that long is tough, not to mention staying healthy in the trenches.
UT offensive line coach Don Mahoney thinks the way James' presents himself off the field and his ability to flip the switch is what's gotten him here.
"He has to be in a mindset - there's a time to be serious and there's a time that he is who he really is and like you said, he's kind-hearted, gets along with the guys in the manner which he's himself.
"Then, when it's time to be business, whether it's in the weight room, meetings, on the field, it's like coach said, you cross those lines, you flip a switch, and that's exactly what he does."
It's hasn't been a calendar year, but Mahoney knows he's going to miss James when his senior campaign is over.
"He's definitely one that I'm going to miss being around, because even on gameday, he knows how to keep us all in check with his personality and the things he'll say and see. Extremely intelligent - he sees the things we're both discussing on the sideline and when I watch the film on Sunday. He's right on with everything that he's said.
"There's not seeing things that aren't there. There are not things that are happening that aren't there. It's exactly what it is. He's a very intelligent, extremely smart and very trustworthy."
The Iron Bowl, the annual clash between Auburn and Alabama, is undoubtedly one of the top rivalries in football.
Having spent the past four seasons with the Tigers - winning the 2010 season BCS National Championship - Tennessee linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen is very familiar with the Crimson Tide.
But in just a short time on Rocky Top, he now has a firm hold on the importance of the Third Saturday in October, which is actually being played on the fourth Saturday in October this season.
"It is just as big," Thigpen said on the Tennessee-Alabama rivalry. "Our guys are really into it this week. They know it is one of the biggest games of the year with them being the No. 1 team in America. You have to get up for that team and I think our guys have accepted the challenge."
Thigpen's experience at Auburn has also made him very familiar with the atmosphere at Bryant-Denny Stadium
"That is probably one of the most electric stadiums in the country," said Thigpen. "It is probably one of the better ones in the country. It is going to be loud. Their fans are all into it. This is the best of the best. This is what you play for in the SEC. If you match up with those guys it says a lot about you.
"That program, year in and year out is going to be top five in the country. This year they are No. 1, two national championships in a row. What better game to make a statement for Tennessee Football?"
Two national championships in two years, but Thigpen believes this Crimson Tide team to be even stronger.
"It seems like they have gotten stronger," said Thigpen. "They're younger than years in the past; they've been an older football team. This year they have a lot of young talent, you look at (Kenyan) Drake and T.J. Yeldon both of those guys are young. Christion Jones has really stepped up and been their main target at wide receiver. It just looks like everyone has gotten better and better and more confident. They are playing really well together now."

Look for lightweight, aerodynamic frame designs that stay in place and offer plenty of protection without getting in the way. Interchangeable sunglasses are favored by cyclists and runners for their versatility. Minimalist designs and strategically placed vents allow airflow that prevents fogging, while nose and temple pads keep them from slipping.
Glare-cutting polarized sunglasses are great for fishing because they make it easier for you to see under the surface of the water, and they reduce eye fatigue so you can stay out longer. Wrap-around frames are ideal for fishing and other watersports, offing extra protection from the sun and enhanced peripheral vision.
Sunglasses that shield you from the stronger sun at altitude and light reflected off snow are ideal for mountaineering and other high-alpine pursuits. Sometimes referred to as glacier glasses, these sunglasses have darker tints, wrap-around frame designs, and side shields to keep sunlight from getting in around the perimeter of the frames.

With new data formats and increasing data volumes, new deployment models have emerged for managing e-discovery. Besides the traditional on-premise software, wherein the organization manages the software and review staff in-house across the entire process of e-discovery, companies and law firms can now also opt for SaaS models that offer the convenience of on-premise software without the need to manage it within the internal datacenter; managed services models that allow for a wholly outsourced approach to e-discovery; and hybrid approaches that combine two or more deployment methods dependent upon the unique needs of each case.
A variety of legal, technical and organizational factors can determine which option is the best for each individual organization, and leadership is often left questioning the most strategic choice. The first step is to gain basic understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of each of the deployment models:
- On-premise: For organizations that want complete control over the software and data, hosting the software in-house may be the best option. This typically offers corporations the opportunity to put in place specific security capabilities to address their confidentiality and privacy requirements; however it may not always be the most cost-effective. If a case arises that balloons outside of the on-premise software's capacity, the corporation is faced with adding resources or outsourcing to accommodate the size of the particular case. Hosting the software in-house also requires larger upfront costs, ongoing investments in upgrading and refreshing the technology on a regular basis, and IT involvement in maintaining and managing the software.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): This option provides a similar level of control as the on-premise model, but with more ability to align costs to operating budget. These types of offerings typically come with a subscription fee, which allows the organization to plan a set e-discovery operating budget that gives them access to the tools needed for any size matter. As analytics and predictive coding becoming more ubiquitous, it is important to maintain access to all of the latest and greatest features as they become available to remain competitive and avoid using antiquated technology. With this model, the burden of maintaining the most recent version of the software is removed, as long as software is continually innovated and the most up-to-date versions are available without any additional upgrade fees or maintenance.
- Managed services: The decision to use this option usually comes down to whether the organization has the people on staff to handle the case management and administration of the tools. For very large cases, tight timelines or for legal teams that simply don't have the resources or desire to host the software or do the e-discovery project management, managed services allows for outsourcing the entire e-discovery process. Certain types of matters, especially second requests and other regulatory issues that go at a very fast pace, are a good fit for managed services. This provides the extra care and resources the legal department needs to ensure all of the data is reviewed and produced on time.
- Hybrid: Many legal departments take a hybrid approach to deal with the unique needs of a variety of cases. Some medium-sized matters may only need a team to have access to the SaaS solution, while more pressing cases require additional resources from a managed services provider. We're seeing a number of law firms move to implement a hybrid of on-premise, SaaS and managed services models to address the wide range of matters they handle on behalf of clients.
Key Considerations
The next step is to evaluate the drivers that matter to your organization and how compatible they are with the different e-discovery deployment options. Below are the top three key trigger points that can help you evaluate the best approach for your organization.
- Cost: What is the total cost of ownership for your current approach? And, given your litigation profile, are you likely to see cost savings using another deployment model? Figuring out your cost-control strategy will enable you to evaluate the potential cost benefits of a different approach, and whether it is worth the effort to implement a change.
- Culture: Most legal departments have a general preference or attitude toward e-discovery strategy, outsourcing, cloud usage and other factors that may determine which deployment option is the best fit. The relationship with outside counsel and on what level they will be involved is a factor to consider, as well as the company's litigation profile and e-discovery capabilities of internal employees.
- Security: Security breaches and cyber-attacks against large corporations are regularly reported in the news. Information security must be taken into serious consideration as far as what technology, process and protocol need to be in-place now and the future to protect client data. Law firms and companies must do an objective audit of internal IT as well as extensive research for selecting outside providers, including law firms, to ensure that security is not compromised. Industry regulations and standards will need to be considered as well when determining the level of security required for your organization. At times, there might be a misperception that merely by keeping data in-house that it will be more secure than outsourcing to a provider. The fact is vulnerabilities exist in all deployment models. Therefore, it's critical in understanding your security and compliance requirements for your e-discovery projects and working with information managers and security specialists to implement the level that best addresses your needs using available technologies, setting access controls, and strict data management and information governance policies to protect your data.
Once cost, culture and security are evaluated, e-discovery teams should have a better understanding of the top two deployment models for their particular organization. From there, additional criteria can be weighed to ensure the model is a good fit, including business goals, e-discovery processes, and platform functionality.

Surprise ending
The meeting
Patrick and Veronica first met through a mutual friend in 2004 but it wasn't until five years later that Patrick made the first move and asked her on a date. "I only agreed because friends and family encouraged me. I was worried that things would be awkward if things didn't work out," says Veronica. "But I shouldn't have been worried. I was left absolutely bewildered. I wondered - who was this man that could out talk me, a woman of considerable conversational ability?" she says. "He was definitely worth another shot...Our relationship works because we have contrasting personalities but share the same values. We both love a good laugh. We make each other try different things in life. Life is much better together!" says the 35 year-old.
The proposal
Patrick proposed in 2009 while they were away in Borneo, Malaysia. They had planned to climb to the summit of Mount Kinabalu for whichthey had to get up at 3am. "We just made it to the summit at sunrise. I was crying because I couldn't believe I had made it," says Veronica. The air was thin and they were exhausted. "Patrick grabbed me around the shoulder and said 'Will you marry me?'" says Veronica. "A proposal was the last thing on my mind in my state of exhaustion, but of course I said 'Yes'".
The wedding day
"It was a beautiful and joyous wedding, with no tears on our part - we were both very relaxed. I was laughing all the way down the aisle and through the mass," says Veronica. They held their wedding in front of 160 guests at Nine Darling Street in South Yarra – the last wedding there after 90 years as a reception venue. "Whilst it was a formal wedding, we made sure it was as personalised as possible. Mum made home-made preserves with produce from Patrick's mum's garden, as well as individually wrapped wedding cakes," she says.
The dress
Veronica wore a silk, strapless Julie Simonelli gown with a sweetheart neckline. It featured Swarovski crystal beading on the front and trailing down the back.
The cake
They chose the 'chocolate lettuce', the signature cake from The French Lettuce in Carlton. A light chocolate cake with a variety of nuts and layered with Kirsch and apricots.
The photography
The photos were taken by Andrew Noble Photography.
The honeymoon
They went to French Polynesia – Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea islands.

Ive been reading around this board for awhile and I must tell you Metro that you are the biggest moron on this board by far. Just because you supposedly predicted that the Isiah situation wouldn't work doesn't mean that you are right about everything.
Melo is one of the best scorers in the NBA and it would be nice to stop chucking up threes all the time. Yes we have been making them but wouldnt it be nice to establish a nice mid range game too? Trading Melo for Gallo and Randolph and a few more pieces is NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. Get over yourself and support trading for Melo because it WILL happen. Melo will be the second option to Amare not the 4th. Your smoking some real good **** i guess.
I'm right about mostly everything.
We don't need scoring, thats all Melo is you idiot.
Who told you it will happen? You're an idiot.
You are a good admire, awful poster. Go back to lurking.
I tried to read this thread, but the poor grammar, lack of punctuation
having to look at Eddy Curry's face on a fat woman's body over and over again
gave me too much of a headache.
This thread is classic! Metrotard will be defending this one for years! I'm not the only one tired of his sorry ass, half the forums are tired of this punk and his girlfriend KingLoserbury. Everyday a new member logs on cuz he can't take the idiotic statements from him anymore. It's funny, how Metro resembles his favorite player Marbury. Dude is a cancer, and the sooner he leaves the better the forum will be for it.
But Metrofraud's delusional mind and fragile self esteem somehow twists the attacks and the verbal smackdown's he receives daily into a positive... No number of pity rep points from your girlfriend KingStarbury can change the fact you are the worst poster in KO history and watching you get angry and defensive is almost as fulfilling as how good the team is playing. Keep the hits coming Metro !
And.. lol at u for saying your "right about mostly everything". That's a douchebag-quotable right there if I ever saw one. Stop dude. This thread is a complete abortion.
You should take a break from posting for a while..

So Melo joins the Knicks and all of a sudden develops a 3 point shot, more efficient shooting, and learns how to run screens, catch and shoot, play off-ball instead of iso? You are asking him to change his entire game.
Miami figured it out? James is still playing like James and Wade is still playing like Wade. The system was changed to suit them, they did not change for the system. James is NOT an off ball player anymore which was how it all started in the beginning of the season.
If Melo comes here we need another coach that runs something else.

Carmelo Anthony is a smart offensive player. He understands the importance of spacing and is a willing passer. He would move the ball to the open man in our offense. It would be luxury for him to utilize the system more than to constently have to get his offense from isos like he does in Denver. He also shoots the three w effortless ease, tho obviously he's not the most accurate. He can play off ball and he'd particularly good as the screener in our pick and roll when Amare's not in the game. He could also do alot of things coming off the pick. He could be very creative in those situations. Melo would be fine in our SSOL system. He would just have to get used to playing w Amare and Felt, get the timing down and so on.. He would be really good in this offense.

Metro's perspective is often unique and contrarion. He is controversial, combatively confrontational and given to hyperbole. But he is definitely no fool. His basic point in this thread is that our offense is fine. Melo provides plenty of offense, but little else. That is a legitimate point.
I would love to have Melo as a free agent and I can accept giving up any one of Gallinari, Chandler and Fields. But not two of them.
And if we get him, i have some concerns about chemistry. We have two and perhaps three alpha males in Amar'e, Felton and Chandler. Chandler's demeanor may not show it, but his actions do. Melo is definitely an alpha male. Amar'e is thriving as the team's unquestioned leader. Will we diminish some of that with Melo seeking to share, or dominate, the spotlight? I am not sure either is used to second position.
Melo's 3-point shooting can improve just like Wilsons did. Why do you guys just act like its impossible.Melo has to take percentage busters when the clock runs down on that team.Who on Denver besides him can draw a double team? Defenses are focused on him 85% of the time which leads to you having to take tough shots because they force you to do it. When you pass to your teammates and they cant make buckets then you have to take it upon yourself. Kobe gets penalized a buttload for it all the time because alot of games Pau just dissappears into a cremepuff and no one can hit a shot.
Melo can run a pick and roll,that is complete horse crap and Melo does play off ball because thats how he gets alot of shots off of down screens and working for post position. Lebron's Offensive game is actually more limited than Melo's so this whole concept he can't play with this team isn't accurate im sorry.
Posted these because this is all brought to you by Mr.Mike D....
Yes Miami figured it out. They were a new team, they had to grow w/ each other. They didn't want 2 step on each others toes so you saw alot of just standing around letting each other iso. Problem with that is it actually takes the threat of having these great players off the floor because the D can zero in on the ball. Now they actually move off the ball and try to get in transition which is the best for them considering you have Wade and James.
Lastly as I said in another thread, who's to say D'antoni is here for the long run? Because I don't see it. It's nice watching this team,they are fun to watch, but truthfully it just doesn't work on great defensive teams when they can examine everything day in day out in a playoff series. Not only that it also causes us to lose games we probably would'nt lose if we weren't jacking up 3's.

Well i'm just not getting the results I expected from the Sony A230, perhaps its just me doing something wrong or my other theory is that the lens kit that came with the camera is just not sufficient enough for my purposes.... thoughts?
Night shot of Fairbanks Alaska, as seen from my apartment.
F/5.6 (lowest) @ 55mm
3.2second exposure
Taken at my Apartment up here on the hill during sun down.
F/5.6 @ 45mm
1/8 exposure
Both pictures were Tripod mounted with the Sony Steadshot anti-shake disabled (as this can actually cause blurriness when you tripod mount it), the night shot was taken in manual mode whereas the sun-down shot was taken in auto-mode to give some sort of insight to the difference between what I had the camera do and what it recommended be done. Anyone notice such a large difference in anything here that I'm doing wrong to make the night photo come out that unclear, something just doesn't seem right. Is it possible that the lens is not sensitive enough, perhaps I would get much better result from something like a 1.8 wide angle lens.. or is my ISO setting slightly too low on the night shot (maybe i should be using 200?).

It's video taken from the view of the train that you have to see to believe.
MONROE COUNTY, Ind. - The Indiana Rail Road Company has released video taken from the perspective of the conductor of a train as it ran over two women who had trespassed on an 80-foot-tall railway bridge in southern Indiana.
"Railroad tracks are private property, they are not public thoroughfares, and they are very dangerous."
Officials said that was never more clear after the recent, near-fatal incident.
Indiana Rail Road Company Manager of Intermodal and Economic Development Eric Powell said just before 7 a.m. on July 10, a train was headed northeast in Monroe County, approaching Lake Lemon (see our map below) when the train's engineer saw two women in the train's path.
Powell said the women were trespassing on the middle of a bridge that spanned an inlet of Lake Lemon, known as Shuffle Creek Trestle. The bridge is 500 feet long and 80 feet high.
The engineer of the train reportedly stuck to protocol, immediately applying the emergency brake and sounding the horn. But as the two women ran from the train, the engineer said he was helpless to do more as the train caught up with them.
The video in this story comes from a camera planted on the front of the train's locomotive, and shows the scary scene unfold.
You can see in the video as one woman lies down on the tracks, the other seems to consider jumping off the bridge entirely. Then, with the train just 30 feet away, the second woman seems to think twice and lies down on the tracks. That's the last you see of them.
The engineer said by the time the train came to a stop, it had completely passed the point where the subjects stopped running, and the he believed he had just killed two people. He quickly alerted the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
But the two women survived, Powell said. They escaped to a nearby car and got away.
"The consequences of trespassing on railroad-owned property are never taken seriously by those choosing to do so, and this incident at Lake Lemon is one of the most glaring examples I've seen in more than 40 years in this business," Indiana Rail Road Company founder, president and CEO Tom Hoback said.
Hoback also explained that such a stunt could have had even worse consequences. Using the emergency brake of the locomotive on the bridge could have taken down the bridge itself, killing the engineer.
The two women were identified by authorities and could be facing charges.
Powell said more than 900 people were killed last year in the U.S. by trespassing on railroads, 28 of which were in Indiana. Find more facts on trespassing laws and railroad safety here.
