Well, I suspect you really haven't been watching much. The criticism of Lebron among the pundits has IMO been a bit unfair this postseason. Certainly no "apologists" from what I've heard.

Suburbs: schools, schools, schools, schools, and schools. I've never lived in the City proper, so I will leave that to someone who has.

No matter who wins, it should be an epic series. Maybe the best since the Magic-Bird matchups. If I was a betting man, I would have to go with OKC. I thought they showed the type of guts it takes to win a championship by coming back to beat the Spurs. And, man are they well-rounded with perhaps their ONLY weakness being the lack of a dominant post-scorer (which Miami doesn't have either). From a psychological standpoint, I don't think the Heat would'vd overcome that 2-0 hole OKC found themselves in against SAS. It probably doesn't hurt to feel like most of the country is rooting for you to the beat the Heat.

^Probably because a lot of them took the "marry rich, learn to love" approach

^Not sure..... but take a look at the middle-top pic in this link - http://www.lincolnhighwayoh.com/v1/twenty.html

I did not suggest otherwise. But there is a third 'cause' you are not considering. That 'toxic' debt, or whatever you want to call it, that the financial industry was playing hot potato with is not being replaced with more toxic debt. Sure, the family of four that bought a house they can't afford is being foreclosed upon, but their private debt (although defaulted on) is (hopefully) not being replaced by the debt of another family that will default 10 years from now. And then there is also some educational value to this recession in that people are probably/hopefully more mindful of the debt they are accumulating whether it be through mortgage, car loans, student loans, etc. One would also hope that lending restrictions/regulations are in place which would prevent private debt to be inflated as a result of simply awful deals.

That's only because we keep kicking the chicken down the road.

^Maybe if we still had our natural coastline, that would be a good idea. But considering that we have bastardized it with dredged land, boxy fingerdocks, hulking monstrosities, railroad tracks, and a highway.... I don't know how much of an authentic au-naturale look it could pass off.

Is someone forcing your eyes in the direction of these young menz's derriere? :?

OK, smartypants...... ever had raw chicken??

Whether it does or not, it doesn't stop people from putting on that 'front'

^^I would guess that it has more to do with a much tighter lending environment than default. Just a guess. Either way, it is good news. It doesn't matter if you bake, broil, grille, smoke or fry a chicken as long as its cooked.

I can't really say. I spent one summer there about 15 years ago. My sister went to school there. You can probably find someone more knowledgeable. I do recall being surprised after learning that over 100,000 people live in AA. IMO, it has more of a small town vibe. A few wannabes wandering around thec commercial district that I can remember, but where don't you run into that?

I believe teams generally use height w/shoes when listing their players. Take TT for example...... he is listed at 6'9 on the Cavs roster. He measured in at the combine at 6'7.5 w/out shoes and 6'8.75 with shoes. Thus, the more pertinent question is what's the point of measuring them without shoes...... I would have to guess it is to account for instances like Drummond and stop players from wearing shoes which give them an unfair advantage.

The campus itself is picturesque. One of the nicest in the country IMO. I would recommend taking a walk around it. All / most of the shops and eateries are right by campus and it is all very walkable. Most of the action will be S State St and to the west, between E Huron and E William St.

^^I think you underestimate just how much of a drop there is between Huron and the River. Also, due to engineering concerns (which were rampant when the CC/MM was proposed for this site), I would be surprised if the building is not on stilts in one form or another.

It is reported that Drummond just hit 38inch on the vertical and was "disappointed" (claims he can do 40inch+). Charlotte and Washington are going to have a hard time passing on him. He essentially measured size-wise the same as Alonzo Mourning with a lower body fat. I'm not sure I could stomach the 27% FT

Official NBA combine measurements of notable players Prospect Height (with shooes) Weight Wingspan Standing Reach (true "bball height" IMO) A Davis 6'10.5 221 7'5'.5 9'0 Kidd-Gilchrist 6'7.5 232 7'0 8'8.5 Beal 6'4.75 201 6'8 8'3 Barnes 6'8 228 6'11.25 8'6 Robinson 6'8.75 244 7'3.25 8'10 Drummond 6'11.75* 278 7'6.25 9'1.5 Lamb 6'5.25 174 6'11 8'5 Rivers 6'5 202 6'7.25 8'1 Sullinger 6'9 268 7'1.25 8'11 P Jones 6'11.25 233 7'1.75 8'10.5 One guy whose measurables should really help him will be the center from Illinois, Meyers Leonard. He measured in at 7'1.5 in shoes, 7'3 wingspan, 9'0.5 standing reach and only 5.7% body fat at 250lbs John Henson, PF from UNC, had the highest standing reach at 9'3.5 Drummond had the longest wingspan. I put an asterisk by his height because he was apparently the only player with a full two inches of soles on his shoes. Everyone else added anywhere from 1 to 1.75 inches with shoes on. He also had excellent body fat numbers (for his massive size) at 7.5% Interesting to note that although he is 1/2 inch shorter in height, MKG's standing reach is a full 2.5 inches above Barnes Barnes had a suprising (relatively) high body fat number at just under 10%. Then again, Kyrie was somewhere around 11% iirc. For comparison's sake, Sully registered a 10.7%

10 stunning riverfront towns Cincinnati, OH Why Go: Cincinnati's taken an especially hands-on approach to reclaiming its waterfront, clearing a path through old highways and industrial parks. This Fall, it's slated to open the first phase of a $120 million, 45 acre riverfront park at its center—the crown jewel in a decades' long revitalization effort. What to Do: Montgomery Inn at the Boathouse is a favorite for local barbecue, as well as its unique riverfront setting (925 Riverside Dr., 513/721-7427, pork loin back $21, montgomeryinn.com). To get even more up close, hop aboard a historic riverboat for a cruise along the Ohio River (bbriverboats.com, Historic Harbor Sightseeing Cruise, $18). http://travel.yahoo.com/ideas/10-stunning-riverfront-towns.html?page=all

I wouldn't cross your fingers too much on the river. I am sure there will be some great scenic overlooks, but I doubt phase II will have much interaction at river level (other than parking). From the plans we have seen, it appears the focus will be much more on Huron Rd. The Intersection with Ontario certainly could use some re-thinking to make it more pedestrian friendly.

Very interesting read.... U.S. debt load falling at fastest pace since 1950s By Rex Nutting | MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Everyone knows America has too much debt. What they don’t know is that things are getting better, not worse. Little by little, our economy is reducing its debt burden, slowly repairing the damage caused by 10, 20 or 30 years of excess. If you want to know why economic growth has been so tepid, here’s your answer. Four years after the storm hit, the economy is still deleveraging. And it’s very hard for any economy to grow when everyone is focused on increasing their savings. Total domestic — public and private — debt as a share of the economy has declined for 12 quarters in a row after surging over the previous decade. The rapid rise in federal debt over the past four years has distracted us from the big picture. The level of public debt is indeed worrisome, but it’s not as big a worry as the economy’s total level of debt — public and private. Although we have a whole cottage industry devoted to warning us about the dangers of too much public debt, we don’t have any comparable Cassandras telling us about the dangers of too much private debt. Yet the history of the past 30 years (or 300) clearly shows that too much debt, of whatever variety, can pose a systemic risk to the national and global economies. As much as we hear politicians, pundits, tea-party patriots and the Congressional Budget Office obsessing about government debt, it was excessive private debt — not public debt — that caused the 2008 financial meltdown. And it was private debt — some of it since transferred to the public — that lies behind the current European debt crisis. (Greece is unique in having a public sector that ran up spending while its private sector is rather conservative.) READ MORE: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-debt-load-falling-fastest-040045522.html

Thanks for the clarification. When I had read your initial post about renting, I thought you had got a place in the area between Superior and Euclid Ave. The area you are renting in is much better. You have a great location. Cumberland Park and Cain Park are within spitting distance. You can walk over to Taylor Road for places like Cafe Tandoor (Indian food) and Melt (unique restaraunt specializing in 'gourmet' grilled cheese). You can walk to Coventry easily and safely down Euclid Hts Blvd and enjoy all the variety there. You can walk up to Cedar-Lee for its pubs, restaraunts, the theatre and the library. You can walk to the Rec Center (if you join) and the Mayfield-Lee area. You can even walk to Cedar-Fairmount fairly easily. You are about as centrally located as you can get in the Heights. Of course, as with any non-white picket fence neighborhood, you want to keep your wits about you. But no need to have your head on a swivel. Random violence in this neighborhood is rare.

MTS is right that your description is a bit confusing. I ssume you mean Euclid Hts Blvd (not Euclid Ave). What street are you on? Hyde Park/Superior Park/Altamount/Desota/Berkely/Beechwood? That area? Perhaps one of the large tudor buildings closer to and along Taylor Rd? Or did you mean to say 'west' of Lee and Cain Park on Cumberland, perhaps?
