    suns bushing for a championchip

    I think it was a good trade. I think most people don't realize how much chemistry affects a basketball team. I think it's more important in basketball than in almost any other sport. I loved Shawn Marion and I appreciate what he did while he was here but the competition has been stepping up and something had to be done. If you don't want to be here, then I don't want you here. I also think his attitude was negatively affecting the play of other players. I think just him not being here will change the overall play and offensive agressiveness of some of the other guys. I think it's a pretty big risk but only time will tell. I think it's going to work wonders for the team chemistry and I also think it's going to be a huge shot in the arm for both Shaq and the Suns. He is going to be super motivated for many reasons, mostly stopping Kobe. He is going to bring in a championship attitude and I hope we see new life out of him. I also think it's going to help a lot to open up our half court offense, which is extremely crucial in the playoffs. I really hope it works, and I am optimistic, but only time will tell.

    Love the pictures. Looks like you had a good time. Last night I made plans to go out today and see if I couldn't drop a yote or 2 out that way. I figured conditions would be good today. I had everything packed and ready to go last night. About 2:30 in the morning my 3 year old daughter comes in crying. I had to miss my trip and take her to the doctor. It ended up turning into a daddy-daughter day, which is fine. Turns out conditions were great too . Oh well, there will be other oppurtunities.

    You guys won't believe this..........

    When I was 15 or 16 I went Bass fishing with my dad and cousin in Sinaloa. Some of the local kids showed us the hide of a jaguar stretched out on some sticks they had put together. We slept in tents and I never went too far from camp when I had to take care of business at night . I do remember seeing one deer on the shore during our 6 days of fishing.

    36a

    I'm done with 36A. I had the November hunt there in 07 and decided it will be my last time in that unit. On our first scouting trip down there we found a dead body(actually it was right off the batamote road). On opening weekend I gave an illegal in the same area some water and then told BP where he was at, they later picked him up. After that first trip down there I couldn't shake this uneasy feeling that I had the whole time I was down there. It took a lot of enjoyment of the hunt away. I'm still planning on hunting down south, just not 36A.

    Gift card

    I started with $60 Barskas that, surprisingly, weren't too shabby. It was a whole lot better than being out there without glasses. I guess it all depends on how soon you need them. If possible I would say hold out and get the Nikon Monarchs, they are great binos, but if not possible go with what others have suggested for the $200. Good luck in your search.

    Nicely done. To accomplish all that in one year is pretty cool. Isn't that the broadhead buck????

    It's about time!

    Remember the deal a few years ago where they had a crackdown in the MVD and busted a ring of about 25 people???? They were using the real machine to make real state ID's and DL's for I think it was $600 a piece. I saw a SS card one time that I knew was fake and it was really hard to tell. You can get whatever you want for the right price.

    Went bowhuntin' in unit 22 today

    Heck yeah!!!!! I enjoyed the way you posted the pictures and left it at that and made us wait. You'll have to hold out for a big one in January since it will mean waiting a long time to go again if you do get one.

    Okay. Thank you for cititng your sources. I did some research and came up with these numbers: Population of Mexico-103,263,388 in 2005(according to Wikipedia) In 2004 it was estimated that there were 10.3 million illegal immigrants living in the US. From 2000-2004 it was estimated that there was a net total of 450,000 new illegal immigrants arriving to the US each year. So we can assume 10.75 million illegal immigrants living in the US in 2005. The percentage of illegal immigrants by region and country(according to my sources) lists 57% of illegal immigrants being from Mexico which if we do the math 57% of 10,750,000 is 6,127,500. There is a huge difference between 57% and 90%. Which one do you believe???? I guess which ever one you want to....or makes your argument sound better. I think this just further proves that numbers are just that, numbers. The obvious is that there are a lot of illegals living in this country. We also happen to live close to Mexico and so that is what we mostly see. Ever been to Miami????? You pretty much have to be able to speak spanish there and if you speak with a Mexican accent they're going to look at you funny. Here are my sources: Bean, Frank D. and Gillian Stevens. 2003.

    It's about time!

    Did you know that over 11% of everyone born in Mexico is living illegally in the US right now! Where did you get this number from???? You have mentioned it a few times but are yet to cite the source. You were quick to bash Jamaro for doing the same thing.

    All posts so far seem to have good valid points. I agree that no matter what laws we have people will find ways to skirt around them, find loopholes or they will just plain ignore them....they do that now don't they??? The economy has slowed down somewhat and I think that will be the biggest factor in where people go. I was living in Argentina in 2001(yes legally ) when they had a huge economic crisis. The value of the Argentine peso was 1 to 1 with the US dollar before their economy crashed. I watched it fall virtually overnight to 3 to 1 and sometimes as bad as 4 to 1. It fluctuated on a daily basis. In Argentina there were a ton of Peruvians living there illegally and they were nannies, house cleaners, landscapers etc and it worked out very good for them because they converted their Argentine pesos to US dollars and then into "soles," the Peruvian currency, and it worked out very favorably for them. They would then send most of it back to Peru, just like a lot of illegals here do. After their economy crashed and the value of the Argentine peso fell it was no longer worth it to them to work in Argentina. Almost all of them went back to Peru because they no longer had a reason to be there. They will follow the jobs and if there aren't any then there won't be any reason to stay. The economy is already slowing down and I think that is the main reason for people either going back or moving somewhere else.

    Some more Christmas Fun!

    When I was in a new department at an old job I had the guys liked to give me a hard time sometimes....kinda like the rookie treatment. It didn't bother me, it was always in good fun. The supervisor told me that it was if they didn't give you a hard time that you would need to worry. We do it because we like you
  23. There was an article about that place in the EV Tribune a week or so ago and it looks really neat. I'm planning on taking my kids there one of these Saturdays.

    numbers and percentages are both worthless....they can easily be manipulated to portray what ever it is you want to portray. The problem is out there all you have to do is drive down the road and look out your car window and it's obvious....I don't need some media outlet to try and tell me that there is a problem or how big it is. I don't think there's a clear cut easy solution either IMO.
