@Imperious:

The supporting cast basically didn’t show up. I don’t like the substitutions. For example, why not play Greg Ogden? The whole point was to have a big man and he just sat on the bench. Also, they didn’t really play Haslem till the end and they broke the confidence of Chalmers. He never played this poorly ever.

Big men wouldn’t have helped outside shooting, which is what killed the Heat - best FG% in any finals in history, nearly 50% from 3 as a team.

They need to trade for a PG, get rid of Wade.

Not sure what happened with Chalmers, but he was terrible.  Cole would have been a better start.

Need a real center, not Anderson

Need a bench more than they need a center.  But that’s where they took cuts to sign the Big 3.

Run more plays for Bosh

Maybe in the 1st game - after that he caught the Wade flu.

I now know where Hepps got his nick from…

Really? I think I am happy to hear one fly by though!

I too enjoyed reading it. Thank you.

@Gargantua:

Today marks 1 year cancer free.

Have to say… thanks again boys - Wouldn’t have happened without your support!

And here’s a photo of the Mr. celebrating with a can of beans.

Nice!

Nice avatar John Brown.

Thanks wittmann! I found the picture the other day and thought it would be neat. You know me, I like to change my avatars, all the time, LOL. :-D

I love my pic of Wittmann and am too computer retarded to know how to change it anyway. (My wife opened this account and did the pic.)

I am half Italian and do love the Italian WW2 Fighters.
Not much to love about the tanks!

Believe it or not, I just learned how a couple of years ago. I guess everything I learn, I learn the hard way, LOL. :-)

Stalin’s mustache was awesome in the series, that is the only positives you will hear from me.

By the way I once visited the Washington Navy Yard, where one of the Enterprise’s anchors is on display. � That was a real treat to see.

I was in Seattle last year and looked out onto the Sound and knew that the navy yard was just a few miles across the way. Wish I could have gotten over there.

Um, I was referring to Washington D.C.  I’d love to visit the naval facilities in the Puget Sound area, but the only place on the West Coast where I’ve been is San Diego – which I was lucky enough to visit at the day when the USS Midway crossed over to the pier where she became a museum ship.  I still have the CV-41 baseball cap I picked up as a souvenir.

My apologies, I thought you were talking about Bremerton, WA. I didn’t know that DC had a navy yard, being on a river and all.

The Economist summed it up pretty well: Russia had to get a deal done, and the Chinese got a favorable terms as a result. They’re hardly staunch allies, just global powers that share some, but not all agendas. I’m happy for the Chinese people that the country will burn less coal as a result.

Talk about “what ifs”.
If Jackson had been present for Lee’s second Northern invasion and had he commanded half Lee’s powerfully motivated ANV and things gone better for the South at Gettysburg(if there had been one), would Bragg have needed removing after Missionary Ridge as such a calamitous reverse might never have occurred?
Grant may already have been in the East and a lesser man commanding the Army of the Cumberland(Rosy). Bragg was well loved and supported by Davis. He may well have finished the war commanding the fabulously brave and aggressive Army of Tennessee.
The Army may even have survived intact and never having been commanded by a man, out of his depth strategically and logistically, such as Hood.
Chancellorsville. Was it the South’s pyrrhic  victory?

Found this article and thought it’s interesting?

Much of it seems right on track but some it seems doubtful.  Japanese isn’t Hawai’i’s?  Vietnamese for Texas?  Maybe it’s right, it’s just not what I would have expected.

@aequitas:

What is Tagalog of kind of language?

A language found primarily in the Philipines.

Japan, China and South Korea should all slice up North Korea and solve that problem.

True. Behind Virginia was the wealthy state of North Carolina, which sent much in the way of supplies to the front, as of course was the grain rich Shenandoah. ( I am still desperate to drive up it.) Richmond was ideally positioned to guard and watch that part of the state.

I do wonder how big and important Atlanta was before the fall of Nashville and whether it only grew in importance as a supply base as a consequence of its early fall.
Somewhere had to replace it.

He is generally know among Ricardians as “The Weasel”.

@toblerone77:

More on topic I have used the arrows mostly as a sign of agreement or respect.

Or as for me ,If anybody adressed allready what I was going to say anyway or even better I just give him a plus 1 for that. But I do give a minus for bad language or an insult.
If you have a diffrent opinion? it’s ok. We agree to disagree, but if you start to insult somebody as a protest I do minus that.

Sad that they couldn’t exchange it for Chinese Drywall or Chinese Salmonella Toys since China can’t build her own carriers and has to use trickery like " hey were turning it into a gambling casino" to get ex soviet era carriers out of the Turkish straights.
