A few years ago, the editors of Guitar World magazine compiled what we feel is the ultimate guide to the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time. The list, which has been quoted by countless artists, websites and publications around the world, starts with Richie Sambora's work on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" (Number 100) and builds to a truly epic finish with Jimmy Page's solo on "Stairway to Heaven" (Number 1).
Railhammer has announced that its Hyper Vintage model pickups are now available with chrome covers. The covers are made of German silver (nickel silver) and are chrome plated. Unlike brass, German silver has a minimal effect on the sound of the pickup.

SKB has announced that Strat/Tele guitar and Precision/Jazz bass cases are available now — only from SKB Corporation. The cases were previously manufactured exclusively for Fender Corporation. The 1SKB-66PRO Rectangular Electric Guitar case accommodates Stratocaster- and Telecaster-shaped models, while the 1SKB-44PRO Electric Bass case will fit Precision- and Jazz-style basses.
Lace Music has announced that Gibson's new Bill Kelliher Golden Axe Explorer guitar is fitted with Lace Nitro Hemi pickups dressed in gold-plated finish. Kelliher, one of the guitarists for Mastodon, has been a Lace endorser for some time. It is fitting that his new Signature Gibson Explorer guitar uses some of his favorite pickups.
Jimmy Page is regarded as one of rock's greatest guitarists, bandleaders and producers for the incredibly rich canon of music he created with the mighty Led Zeppelin. But not everything produced by the man was as crushingly heavy as Zep favorites like "Whole Lotta Love," "Heartbreaker," "Black Dog" and "Rock and Roll."

Hi everybody. First, I'm sorry because I went on a trip and I can't login in Maria official website for 13
However, When I heard Maria lost in IndianWells and Miami tournaments I became sad because Maria
can't win any tournaments in 2012 until, and this is so bad for Maria.
Now I think that Dartagnan is right Maria Should change her coach and her team if she wants win
tournament in 2012.
Do you agree with me?
Olympic games is close!!!!!!
You'd be a fool to change your coach... Just make them go on an errand at the final.Now go down to the local fire station and get those guys to show you how to unchoke some chicken... Make them put their arms around you. For example... if one fire station won't do it go to another and another.
"Just say - show me how".
(don't say it in russian like - show me cock)
I agree with you. It is never late to make a changement in her team.
Only idiots never change, clever persons always change to become better.
Yes I asked Masha to change her team and coach a long time ago because she needs a new method of work with news ideas if she wants to win finals.
I always believe in a change in Masha's team.
Azarenka also made a change in her team before winning finals.
Yes you are right, all athletes wants to have a gold medal at the olympic games so it is more difficult to win one.
Yes Masha should make a changement right away or it will be difficult for her to win a medal.
Hello there . What's up with banana in your photo, ?????
Hi The Vinnys. you misunderstood buddy!!I love Maria not only I and her all fans love her. I know Maria plays well I love her very much but I and all her fans are anxious about her ability because she is top player in WTA but now she can't play as well as past.We say if she change her coach she will play well than know. Yes this is Maria's house and we should talk about Mariawe should talk everytime, when she loses or wins or... we should talk about Maria!Ok buddy??
No excuse . NO PLAYER HAS EVER COME BACK FROM SHOULDER SURGERY TO WIN A MAJOR ! !
evEry match they ( announcers ) make note of that so it will never go to bed !! I had back surgery and play tennis and I have not been the same since I had it...
besides Maris doesn't need an excuse she is AWESOME WIN OR LOSE ! You don;t need a trophy to be a champion !!
Maria is a CHAMPION !
She doesn;t need a coach The New York Yankees have not won a world series since 2009 and they have the BEST in baseball players ! ! they still have the same coach !
Maraia is number 2 she has come a long way, she will win be patient !
Maria has climbed to the No2 position in the world, has been in the Finals in 2 of the last 3 Major events, and currently has 3 consequitive Finals appearances (AO 2012) Indian Wells and Miami...and people want her to change her coach....because, lets face it... she is doing so badly....Human Logic...!
It's impossible be a champion but don't have a coach!!! The Vinnys you say she doesn't need a coach?!!
All athletes need a good coach.All champions have a good coach and Maria needs a good coach now because she is a champion and
Queen Of Tennis.
Right Masha has nothing to lose; she can try a new coach for important tournaments.
I mean she needs someone who knows exactly what to do during a final and what preparation she needs for a Grand Slam.
Masha's victories are in her hands.
For example at the last final:
Masha's frustration started to show—a sharp bang of the court with her racket as she fired one more in a growing tally of errors—but her solution was to hit the ball even harder. Sometimes it worked, but often it did not.
I would like to say that Miami tournament for Masha was not totally bad, she defeated many strong tennis players who had strong coaches But I think that Masha has not enough endurance to win a final. When you have not enough endurance, you becomes nervous easily and you make plenty of mistakes or you can't control yourself because you want the match to end quickly.
Everybody has noticed that Masha made plenty of unforced errors at the last final. Many fans told me that it seemed that Masha was not playing against an opponent but she was playing against herself, because only her errors caused her defeat.
An advice of a good friend:
Navratilova said. ___________________________________________________________________ She is right. And her coach had to realize it and react. But nothing happens. They let things flow but it flows in the wrong way. Maria is not good enough physically, she has not enough endurance, she has to get more skills, move better ( she is too lazy to move, she must get moved), avoid those DF and unforced errors and upgrade her net activity which is like non existent. A good coach had to realize this since a year ago, but nothing happened as we saw in all the tournaments she played. It's too bad that now she looses to everybody. ( not only to big ones ).
What's up with the Banana photo !?!?!? Looks a lil off and crazy ... explain please ?
CHEERS someone gets it ;)))

Nearly every church sees it: 20% of the people doing 80% of the work. How do we get more people involved? Scott Thumma says he knows how, so I invited him to share his story with the rest of us.
Scott, and co-author Warren Bird recently wrote a book addressing this dilemma that caught my interest. He advises pastors to go after the missing majority with a vengeance, check out the interview for details.
Watch the Full Program
Rather Listen? Click HERE for the Mp3.
We've all witnessed the decline of civic involvement over the last several decades in American society. People simply aren't as community-minded as they once were, and our churches are no exception. While this may be an excuse for the 80/20 dilemma, Scott Thumma says it goes much deeper than that – and that the way to greater participation starts with figuring out what the 80% are thinking. Here are my notes from the interview:
Listen to the Lost Sheep
Imagine if Jesus had told the 99 sheep, 'Forget about that lost one, he's expendable.' It's this kind of thinking Scott confronts when he says church leaders have an obligation to listen to the non-attending flock. He says setting up Listening Teams, whose sole job is to hear what the disenfranchised are saying, can be an effective strategy.
Are Our Ministries Spiritually Fulfilling?
Scott says church members disengage when they sense the work they're involved in no longer feeds their spiritual hunger. Connecting people with tasks that truly nurture, and utilizing their gifts, is key.
Meet People Where They Are
Scott says it's time for many churches to re-think everything from service times to meeting days because the Church should be going where the people are, i.e. soccer fields and shopping malls, and no longer waiting for people to find us. This may be the new frontier for effective ministry.
About Scott Thumma
Scott Thumma is a Professor at Hartford Seminary, Hartford, CT and researcher at the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, Hartford, CT. He has co-authored several books including The Other 80 Percent and Beyond Megachurch Myths. He has researched and written articles on the mega church phenomenon, congregational studies and vital church growth. In addition, he guides the Seminary's Dmin Program and its church survey service as well as maintaining a half dozen religion research websites including the portal site Insights into Religion:
A Word from Scott:
"The practices I recommend to clergy interested in building strong churches….
First, as a researcher, I always encourage clergy to focus on good research reports about congregational life and especially the attitudes of those in the pews – projects like www.Faithcommunitiestoday.org or www.uscongregations.org or reports from Lifeway, Baylor and Pew.
Second, talk to people both inside and outside your church – especially those you don't have in your congregation. You don't need to only preach to the choir, you need to preach to those you don't yet have as committed participants… and you have to know their needs and interests in order to preach to them effectively."
Books Scott Recommends:
Growing an Engaged Church – Al Winesman
Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations - Robert Schnase
Fusion – Nelson Searcy
Church Post – If you are looking to improve your church's communications you've got to check out this great email platform. I've found it easy-to-use, reliable, and John, Debra and Kim are great to work with.
Wistia – If you're still hosting your videos at YouTube or another 'free' video sharing site you know the drawbacks. Wistia helps me put out great looking videos and see who's watching for how long. The Wistia staff is easy to work with and very professional.
The Grow My Church Store – Everything from mugs to pens to fridge magnets, this is a promotional products store aimed at helping churches become closer communities, more hospitable, and welcoming. I started this store and shop there often because I couldn't find anywhere else to go for these products.

Is the meat and poultry on your dinner plate making you resistant to antibiotics? One advocacy group says yes.
Officials with Keep Antibiotics Working, whose mission is to eliminate the inappropriate use of antibiotics in food animals, urged the White House and Congress on Wednesday to push forward with legislation limiting antibiotics in livestock immediately.
They argued that American lives are at risk because farmers are feeding healthy animals a high volume of unneeded antibiotics, and when those animals enter the food supply, humans are developing resistance to certain bacteria.
Antibiotic resistance occurs when antibiotics no longer work against disease-causing bacteria. According to the Mayo Clinic, these infections are difficult to treat and can mean longer-lasting illnesses, more doctor visits or extended hospital stays, as well as the need for more expensive and toxic medications. Some resistant infections can even cause death.
"Every year, more than 100,000 Americans die from bacterial infections acquired in hospitals, and 70 percent of these infections are resistant to drugs commonly used to treat them. Antibiotic-resistant diseases now kill more Americans than HIV/AIDS," said Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-New York, the only microbiologist in Congress.
Slaughter has introduced legislation aimed at curbing antibiotic use in healthy animals while making clear that she still supports using antibiotics to treat sick animals.
Slaughter said her bill has 90 co-sponsors in the House, but a similar measure in the Senate has failed to gain significant support.
Opponents argue that legislation and regulation aren't the solution because Congress has introduced, and failed to find support for, similar bills for nearly a decade.
A leading critic of increased regulation is the Animal Health Institute, an organization that represents companies that develop and produce animal medicines.
"The Coalition for Animal Health opposes legislative bans of important animal health medicines that have been approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration. One of our central goals is to contribute to public health by providing safe and healthful meat products. We need healthy animals, and the tools to keep animals healthy, to meet that goal," the Animal Health Institute, which is part of the coalition, said in a statement.

Fruity strawberry tart
This tart's fruity fragrance was invented in a response to a request for a strawberries and cream bubble bar. With coconut cream to soften skin, along with soothing geranium and sensual jasmine, this bar makes the usual strawberries and cream fragrance smell rather ordinary. Crumble in the tub for a seriously fruity, delightfully creamy pink soak.
- Our fruitiest bubble bar: Two Timing Tart is like tucking into a bowl full of fresh, ripe strawberries.
- This tart is a customer favorite: Two Timing is a Retro best-seller.
- Go coco-nuts! Coconut cream softens the skin and makes for a milky, comforting bath.
Customer Review
Lush Love
"This is one of my new favorite bubble bars and I absolutely love everything about it! I was a little leery about trying it because the idea of a very fruity scent isn't usually something I would like too much. I am so glad I took a chance on it!

Gun control legislation was introduced to Congress on Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013. In response, Power4Patriots offers 30-plus suggestions regarding how people can protect themselves from attackers without using a gun.
Nashville, Tenn. (PRWEB) January 26, 2013
For the first time since the massacre at Newtown, Conn., gun legislation was introduced to Congress on Thursday, Jan. 24, according to CBS News and other media outlets.
Power4Patriots, best known for teaching people how to build their own environmentally-friendly sources of energy such as solar panels and wind turbines so that they can slash their power bills and be safe when power outages occur, is responding to this news story by recommending 30-plus gun alternatives for those who wish to be ready to defend themselves against an attacker, whether outside or inside their homes.
Following are Power4Patriots' 30-plus gun alternatives:
In addition, following are a variety of items one can use in self-defense if attacked by a home invader: vase, candleholder, statuette, large ashtray, fireplace poker, dining room chair, kitchen knife, frying pan, rolling pin, scissors, aerosol hairspray or wasp spray, canned goods, thick tumbler, mop or broom handle, shower curtain rod, towel rack, toilet tank lid, fire extinguisher, golf club, baseball bat, a key held between the thumb and index finger, and hammers and other tools.

I believe that in the sentence
Ich danke 'du/dir/dich'
- ich = subject
- danke = verb
- du = direct object.
Wouldn't that mean that it would be "Ich danke dich"? I hear people say "Ich danke dir" frequently and it's a little confusing.
I believe that in the sentence that:
Wouldn't that mean that it would be "Ich danke dich"? I hear people say "Ich danke dir" frequently and it's a little confusing. |
is the only correct version. Danken takes the dative case. You will never hear otherwise. I would recommend to forget about the concept of direct and indirect object; or better, you should realize that the definitions of direct and indirect object in German and English are not identical. Neither is the use. So just because some verb takes a direct object in English doesn't mean that that is the case in German. |
Emanuel already mentions that Ich danke dir is the correct way of saying I thank you. I just want to tell you how you can simply answer this question with help of some online tools. Unfortunately, only a few sources mention the necessary information explicitly and, if they do, this information is sometimes a little hidden. Starting with Duden, you'll find the following example to the entry to danken: In this sentence no object is given and since the hint tells you that the dative object is missing you can guess that the usual object following danken is dative. On Wiktionary (and Duden, too) you'll find this information: With a little knowledge of German you know that the ending -m in jemandem hints that the object is dative. Accusative would be jemanden as in jemanden verfolgen. Having a look on the entries to dir in Duden or du in Wiktionary you'll find out that dir is dative: Finally I need to mention that danken can be follow by dative, accusative and even genitive objects. |

Boyd's name popped up on countless records in the 1960s and '70s: Pink Floyd, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake. Joined by singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock, Boyd reads from his book, White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s, while Hitchcock performs songs from or inspired by the era.
Earle has lived through the sort of horrors that have launched a million country songs: addiction, affliction, heartbreak, even prison. He wears them in his voice, but what's most appealing about him is the wide-eyed, unmistakable fearlessness with which he goes about his life these days.

Ford Motor Co. is recalling 11,500 2013 Ford Escapes in Canada and the U.S. and is asking owners not to drive the SUVs until dealers repair fuel lines that can crack and spill gasoline, causing engine fires.
The company asked owners Thursday to contact their dealers immediately.
Dealers will deliver a loaner vehicle to these customers and will transport their 2013 Escape to the dealership for the necessary repairs, Ford said in a statement.
"The company is working to make parts available as quickly as possible and customers will keep the loaner vehicle at no charge until the repairs on their vehicle are completed."
"We have identified an issue and are taking quick actions in the best interest of our customers," said Ray Nevi, assistant director for Ford's automotive safety office.
"Our intensive investigation and testing has identified the area of concern and we are moving as quickly as possible to repair vehicles for our customers. In the meantime, it is extremely important that affected customers not ignore this recall and immediately contact their dealer."
Ford said no injuries have been reported.
The Ford Escape vehicles affected are equipped with 1.6-litre engines, which were built through July 11, 2012; Escapes equipped with the 2.0-litre and the 2.5-litre engines are unaffected.
Ford dealers will stop delivering or conducting demonstration drives of the 2013 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.6-litre engines until the issue has been resolved, the automaker said.
More information on the recall is available online at fordowner.com.

And Tabi looking so fresh. He must have eaten a lot of kimchi these past few days :3 XD Is it just me or he's really gaining some carbs?
JIYOOOOOOONG~~~ TABIIII~~~~ !! omfg. it was so amazing seeing them again on stage. Tabi, you getting handsome each day,, and Ji please stop seducing me. Daesung, your eyes >/////<
GD dyed his hair again?
Why am I not surprised?
Omo omo omo!!! Seungri's usual hair is coming back!!^o^ I'm glad to see them all together again...:D And it looks like GD changed his hair colour again, I wonder what colour that is. Some says it's mint green + white, but we'll see....in Crayon MV!:D
I think Seungri hair is back since last month :D I love his hair in VVIP MV <3 maybe GD's hair is mint green + white..I want to see his fully hair :D *please take off your cap Jiyong oppa~ I hope GD release Crayon teaser MV before 15sep~ lol even his skirt look so hot..well fashionista Jiyongieee~ :D
SeungRi ahh have you slept? He looks tired... But still they are 5 handsome boys!
GD looks so hot in that man skirt!!!
GD in a skirt! OH MY SO FABULOUS! o/
Take off your hat so we can see your hair, Ji. *-* lol, different color for every single.
it's so nice to see them back perform on stage again after a short break... miss their fantastic performance on stage... ;-) so love Bigbang... -)
The maknaes surely had enjoyed themselves. They got chubbier. So much cuteness and sexiness to handle!! Its reaaaaallly good to see them enjoying like this. Meanwhile the hyungs were damn tired. Rest well please!!
Aargghhh i really miss them so much as five!!

Im sorry can anyone tell me when they performed this? And what this event is about? A little lost here , thank you:)
It was today :3 Tokyo girls collection in Shanghai I think.
Oh thanks, I was confused too. Looks like Daesung still has blondish color. That pic with the guitar must be old.
Thanks for replying!!:):)
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! BIGBANG REUNITE ON STAGE AGAIN OMO I MISS THEM SO MUCH T^T especially Tabi~~~~~~~~~ ♥♥♥
they dont have any airport photos here.. i saw in the other site.. i wonder if g dragon have a new tattoo.. on his chest and on his right hand..
I'm sorry we didn't get to post them :( There were not many, and I was asleep at the time...took me a while just to collect and post all the photos...LOL!
and I don't think those tattooes are real. I mean GD has just come from his new MV filming for "Crayon" so...they are prolly just not washed/worn off like when he did "That XX". :)
I really, really missed seeing them together like this! Somehow, it's like it has been ages ! And they are all looking handsome as always :)
always stay like this please ♥
LOL,Y is Dae's face like that in the interview pic?XD His funny awkward face =P
How come they didnt put this on the september schedule like for updates at the sidebar?
Lol Dae is forever smiling. HAHA
Taeyang....i really want your moehawk back. Your hair is just....no...just no
I love GD wearing skirt again!!!! >_<
GD looks really cute here~~~ ^___^
GD SeungRi and TOP look so tired. They've got the busiest schedules out of the group and probably haven't gotten enough sleep. I feel so bad for them because they're running themselves ragged for us. Stay Healthy bbs
and tomorrow is SeungRi's fan meet... Hope he and all his hyungs keep healthy..
dae those chubby checks me gusta !! i see that you have been eating well. too much cuteness to handle
somehow or rather, i feel that its greeat that they dont wear anything uniform unlike idol groups out there. they look relaxed and all the more confident.. is it a wonder y i love all of them to bits???
I thought Dae dyed his hair back to black since his update with him playing the guitar!
Maybe he did and then they just dyed it again...maybe it was a black wig...maybe it was the shadow...or a temporary dye....Dae and YG can be such a mystery....Who know?!?! LOLOLOL!
Full of charisma, energatic, childish, cute, handsome! It's BIGBANG!
seriously,tabi looks hot in those pics.gotta love my bias.fighting bigbang.
is it just me or Jiyong's new hair is a very light green O.o
9/10 pictures with Dae in it, he is smiling .. so do the maths :D So in 100 pictures, 90 of them he would be smiling.... this smiling cutey spicy shiny monster :D
I don't normally like math, but when it involves Dae and his smiles...I'll do the math all day long :D
Gd must be tired, After filming non stop for his mv Glad he's smiling
Please tell me Taeyang won't keep his hair like that T_____T
i freakin love their clothes! Dae's pants just wow. and GD hes soooo damn hot i enjoyed these photos a lot! GHAD they looked more and more and more handsome everytime i see their recent photos. love you BIGBANG!
So Gorgeous in Black and Red ^__^ YB and Jiyong with caps ... so cute !
Taeyang... miss u're old mohawk :(
it's ok YB to keep ur hair like that.. no matter what kind of ur hair it is, still u have that swagg!! so cute and young!! luv u YB ^^
Wow, Fantastic Baby
GD always looks gorgeous, even in a skirt kkkkkk
I'm really starting to love those pony tail braids on Taeyang... I saw this one picture he posted up on Instagram and he wore a cap... He looked so cute!!! Though I miss the mohawk very much... As I said to myself that I will probably get used to his braids, but it will take some time... and yeah it did took some time but I'm loving it now. He still have his swag that we all love... his voice is still beautiful as always... everything is still the same... just not his hair. ^___^ Haters will hate. =P SUCK IT! Bahaha.
Tabi and Daesung looks chubbier... SO CUTE! I just wanna pinch their cheeks. GD and Daesung looked straight at this camera... How lucky!! :) Seungri's hair is growing... I gotta say, I love him with the short hair, but he looks best with his hair this length. (: GD's hair looks to be different. Can't wait to see what the color be. (:
BIGBANG is back on stage as five again after a while. Oh how I missed them. (: I hope TOP doesn't change his hair... I loveeee it black and short! Freakin' handsome & sexy! :)
oh omo son geniales ^_^
Tabi as ALWAYS WHEN ISEE HIM MA HEART MELT AWAY ~♥_♥~ Taeyang ALWAYS SWAAAAGGGG ~♥_♥~ GI 2the DI LIKE A BOSS especially IN 3RD PIC ~♥_♥~ Daesungii OUR ANGEL I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ~♥_♥~ VICTORY OUR BIG BANG LIL HANDESOME ~♥_♥~ ~♥_♥~

This one comes courtesy of the real estate broker Aubrey McClendon designated to sell his estate on the shores of Lake Michigan.
"What we're selling is the house and a little over six acres with 500
feet of frontage on Lake Michigan and 700 feet on the Kalamazoo River,"
said Dick Waskin, a broker with the ReMax Realty of Saugatuck. "It's a house that's built in a location that could never be duplicated.
"It was bought pretty much as an investment," Waskin said of the
lakefront mansion. "He's come to a point, where it's time to start
reaping back some of that investment."
He's come to a point where it's time to start reaping back some of that investment. Gosh, when did that point come about? I wish we knew.

The Loudest NBA Crowd of All Time? It wasn't Sacramento (or Seattle!)
Now, having had my ears drums nearly melted at several Seattle sporting events over the years, I had a hard time believing this. I mean, even with all those goddamned cowbells, how could roughly 17,000 people at Arco be louder than a sold-out Coliseum booing Charles Barkey and the refs in the 1993 Western Finals against the Phoenix Suns? Or the grunged out Key Arena maniacs cheering on the Sonics as they blew out the greatest team of all time in game four of the 1996 NBA Finals? Or the (then) record 40,172 screaming Supersonics fans at the Kingdome in 1980?
Well, it turns out the Guinness Record for loudest NBA crowd of all-time is not held by the Sacramento Kings. Nor is it held by our beloved Seattle Supersonics. Well then, who the hell does hold the record?
(click below to find out)
Flashback: Stern pressured Maloofs to sell Sacramento Kings to Seattle?
Twitter user RW34MVP (wasn't that one of the bounty hunters in Empire Strikes Back? ) posted an article from six months ago by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports stating that the NBA was pressuring the Maloofs to sell the Sacramento Kings to Chris Hansen because Stern was "determined to get a franchise back into Seattle" before his reign as
Between now and his departure, Stern is determined to get a franchise back into Seattle, league sources said, and has become a strong ally of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's group to bring back the NBA there. Ballmer's group has been trying to get the Maloof family to sell the Sacramento Kings, so that the franchise can eventually play in a new arena in Seattle.
From the league office, pressure on the Maloofs to sell has been growing, sources said — just as hopes for a new Sacramento arena have been fading. Seattle Sonics fans will never forgive Stern for his complicit role in Clay Bennett's deception to move that franchise to Oklahoma City, but make no mistake: Stern desperately wants to return the NBA to one of its great markets and wants it for his own measure of vindication before he leaves office.
As one source involved in the process said, "Stern has enough time to get a team back to Seattle, but he'll let Silver deal with the crowd [booing] on opening night."Yikes. Have times really changed this quickly or was this whole Seattle vs. Sacramento deal a diabolically Stern-esque set-up from the start?

Ultimate poison pill in Seattle Supersonics, Sacramento Kings battle? Keeping Maloofs in NBA
When I mentioned a few weeks ago that Team Hanson was about to go into Scorched Earth Mode in their efforts to build Seattle Supersonics 2.0, I was thinking Ballmer might let his rabid pack of Microsoft lawyers off the leash. I don't think anyone dreamed they would truly use the nuclear option. The very last of last resorts. The unthinkable horror of . . . THE MALOOF SOLUTION!
Two sources told ESPN.com the Maloofs have informed their fellow owners that if their deal to sell and relocate the Kings to Seattle is not approved by league owners next week, they will not sell the team to a Sacramento-based group that promises to keep the Kings in Sacramento.
Instead, the cash-strapped Maloofs have made a "backup" agreement with the Hansen-Ballmer group to sell it 20 percent of the team for $125 million to allow the Maloofs to continue to operate the franchise.
From ESPNOh sweet lordy. PLEASE let this just be more crafty posturing to leverage an expansion team out of the NBA. Seattle does not want these guys owning the Sonics. I think this town has had enough sleazy, awful owners, thank you.

George Karl: Still Fighting
There is, of course, a lot of sadness if you're a fan of
George Karl today. His team, the Denver Nuggets, were given every opportunity
they could possibly hope for by their opponents, the Golden State Warriors,
last night in Oakland and yet were unable to overcome a massive second-half
And with that, the Nuggets were out of the playoffs in the
first round, something Karl's teams have become all-too-familiar with in the
past three decades.
In fact, Karl devotees might be surprised (not all that
surprised, but surprised) to know that no man in NBA history has failed as
often as George Karl in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Quickly, a list of
coaches who have accumulated the most first-round losses in league history:
George Karl, 14
Jack Ramsay, 12
Jerry Sloan, 9
Lenny Wilkens, 9
Larry Brown, 9
Rick Adelman, 8
It is, in some ways, a list of great coaches. All of them
either are now or will be at some point, Hall of Fame coaches, and I include
George Karl on that list.
The smart observer will note that total 1 & Dones doesn't
take into account the overall seasons; after all, Ray Allen missed more shots
in his career than Steve Scheffler, does that make Scheff a better shooter?
Here, then, is a graph of the top playoff
coaches in league history, with the percentage of their playoff runs which
ended in 1 & Dones:
It certainly helps Karl's cause, and the fact that were the
Celtics to lose in the first round this season Doc Rivers' career totals would
almost be identical to Karl's illustrates how tenuous an NBA coach's playoff
career results can be.
But let's put all of that aside. I come here today not to
bury Karl, but to praise him. Denver fans this morning are no doubt morose –
their team has failed, once again, in the first round, marking the 8th
time in 9 years they have done so under Karl. The parallels to Seattle's
experience with Karl are astounding – an exceptional regular season squad full
of exciting players is booted too early for the home fans, prompting the
tittering of dismissal talk throughout the region.
Certainly, there is more than just coincidence to Karl's
failures in the first round. For him to have flopped out so miserably in 11 of
his past 13 playoff runs speaks to more than just idle chance, and I am sure
that someone more talented than I will be able to figure out just what it is
about Karl's game-planning that leads to his repeated failures in the
But lest we forget, George Karl is a human being, and a good
one at that. Not many coaches would take on the league by sporting a Seattle
tie (see accompanying photo) while coaching a visiting team. Not many men in
his profession have been through the physical tolls that Karl has been through
in the past few years and managed to remain at or near the top of their line of
work. And fewer men still have been able to reach the post-season as often as
Karl has in his career.
And that, more than anything, is what people should focus on
today. Yes, the Nuggets failed in the first round last night, and yes, it is
easy to point fingers at George Karl this morning as the culprit. But before
you do, ponder this: George Karl has reached the post-season 22 times in his
career, the most of any coach in NBA history, alongside Pat Riley and Larry
Brown. If the Nuggets retain Karl and reach the playoffs next year, George Karl
– not Red Auerbach, not Phil Jackson, not Pat Riley, not Jerry Sloan – George Karl
will have led more teams to the playoffs than any single coach in the entire
history of the NBA.
There are many things to take away from last night – missed
opportunities, missed calls, missed shots – but I, for one, will focus on how
George Karl looked as he walked off the court. Quite a bit thinner and a little
older, certainly; but not beaten.
Never beaten.

Best Sixth Man in Seattle Supersonics History: EJ, Downtown, or ?
Paul had a nice mention of Eddie Johnson's birthday today –
which brings to mind the question: Who was the best Sixth Man in Sonic history?
It's a tough one to answer, tougher still because games
started information doesn't exist prior to the 80s. Assuming that Fred Brown
automatically receives a nod as co-champion of this phantom trophy, who else
deserves the honor?
Here's some quick numbers on players who started fewer than
30 games for the Sonics in a given season:
7.1, Sam Perkins, 96-97
6.9, Sam Perkins, 95-96
6.8, Antonio Daniels, 04-05
6.7, Shawn Kemp, 91-92
6.0, Vincent Askew, 93-94
6.0, Dale Ellis, 97-98
6.0, Nate McMillan, 93-94
20.5, Xavier McDaniel, 88-89
18.5, Tom Chambers, 85-86
17.5, Ricky Pierce, 90-91
17.4, Eddie Johnson, 90-91
17.1, Eddie Johnson, 91-92
21.6, Shawn Kemp, 91-92
19.3, Ruben Patterson, 00-01
18.6, Xavier McDaniel, 88-89
18.4, Eddie Johnson, 90-91
17.7, Fred Brown, 82-83
WIN SHARES/48 minutes
.197, Danny Fortson(!), 04-05
.188, Ricky Pierce, 93-94
.177, Shawn Kemp, 91-92
.173, Sam Perkins, 96-97
Best Rebounder: Shawn Kemp, 21.2 TRB%, 1991-92
Best Scorer: Ricky Pierce, 26 points per 36 minutes, 1993-94
Best Passer: Nate McMillan, 9.3 assists per 36 minutes, 1990-91
Best Blocker: James Donaldson, 2.9 blocks per 36 minutes,
I think you'd have to choose Shawn Kemp (1991-92 Edition) as
the winner of best performer in a single season. You've got a guy averaging
(per 36 minutes) 13 rebounds, nearly 20 points, two and a half blocked shots, a
steal and a half, shooting above 50 percent from the field, and 75 percent from
the line … yes, I think I'll take that sort of production.
For a career choice, though, it's a bit trickier. Sam
Perkins' numbers are certainly representative of his overall contributions to
the mid-90s Sonics, Nate McMillan's yeoman's work for so many years certainly
deserves a mention, and who can forget Ricky Pierce's instant offense in the
early 90s, but I think – with no influence from the fact that today's his
birthday – Eddie Johnson deserves the nod.
EJ's 20+ points a night (per 36) for 3 consecutive seasons
is pretty sensational, and unmatched in the team's (documented) history. With
that in mind, I think it's safe to say that Eddie Johnson and Fred Brown are
the two best Sixth Men in Sonic history.

Seattle Supersonics vs. The NBA
Chris Hansen: You won't like him when he's mad. Aw, who are we kidding? We'd totally still love him. |
I was never really a fan of taking the Sacramento Kings. We'd basically be doing the same thing OKC did to us, only we were using the excuse of being honest about it. Well, just because someone warns you before they kick you in the nuts doesn't make it hurt any less.
But this was how you got a team in the harsh 21st century economic reality of the NBA. Kill or be killed. Every basketball fan for themselves. No survivors. WOLVERINES!
Sure, I wasn't real happy about how this sausage was being made, but after a few years in the NBA wilderness, I'd probably pinch my nose and eat it.
So when the NBA relocation committee (consisting of a whopping seven team owners, including good ol' Clay-face) announced on Monday afternoon they had ruled against the Kings moving to Seattle, I admit I was a little glad I wouldn't have to abandon what little scruples I had left in regards to finally getting a replacement for my dearly departed Seattle Supersonics.
The best chance we had at snagging another city's team was gone. Five years of anxiously hovering like hungry vultures over dying basketball franchises was history. And the NBA had stated clearly that expansion, the only truly guilt-free way to enjoy the Sonics in Seattle again, was not going to happen. So it was over.
Well, at least I was now free to unleash my full hatred upon the NBA. Or, you know, not watch as many regular season games. Perhaps I could finally find some peace. Or maybe even a new sport. I wonder if Seattle has a professional handball team?
But then, something crazy happened.

Seattle: A Bridesmaid Once More
Today is a difficult day for Sonic fans. Not as difficult as
that dark day a half-decade ago, when the team announced it was leaving for Oklahoma,
mind you, but certainly not an easy one, either.
There is an ironic twist to this bizarre story, though, and here
it is: The Kings are staying in Sacramento for many reasons, and one of those
reasons is that the fan base in Sacramento was energized by what happened in
They were energized by the threat of relocation, they were
energized by the Sonicsgate tale, and
they were energized by the emergence of Chris Hansen's ownership coalition.
Certainly, Sacramento's elected officials, devoted fans, and
possible new owners deserve the lion's share of credit for what happened today
(or, anyways, what should happen; who knows when you've got lawyers circling
the carcass).
But in many ways, a major reason why the Sacramento Kings
are not the Seattle Sonics today is because of the efforts of the people of
Seattle. It is entirely possible that were it not for the people behind Save
Our Sonics and so on, Here We Stay might never have shown up.
Remember, Sacramento does not have a new arena, it doesn't
have a new ownership group, it doesn't have anything. It certainly has the
promise of those things, but that promise has not, historically, been worth
much to the people counting chits in the NBA office. Today, though, those
promises were worth enough to the league to forestall a relocation to Seattle.
And so, Sacramento, relish your conquering of the Axis of
Evil. For once, the league's extortion
tactics did not require an actual pound of flesh: just the promise of one.

Today in Sonics History: Rick Barry, Leonard Gray, and a Purse
What would you say is the craziest moment in Sonic playoff
40-something fans might opt for the arrest of Dale Ellis and
Kevin Williams outside a Houston nightclub in the midst of the second round of
the 1987 playoffs. 30-somethings might go for the Ricky Pierce/Gary Payton
post-game battle after an inglorious defeat to Denver in the first round of the
1994 playoffs. 20-somethings may side with Jerome James donning his infamous garbage
bag cape after a first round win over the Kings in 2005.
But what if I told you those were mere trifles; that the
craziest moment involved a livid Rick Barry, players getting doused with
refreshments, Leonard Gray's fists, and a crazed woman with a purse?
It was April 1975 and perhaps the only thing riding higher
than the Sonics were the Captain and Tenille. Coached by Bill Russell (the
Sonics, that is, not C&T), the Sonics and Seattle were NBA Playoff virgins
and the city was in pandemonium, caught up in the excitement of a first-round
win over Detroit and what had become a terrific second-round series with the
Golden State.
The Sonics had knotted the series at two with a 111-95
shellacking of the Warriors in Game 4. Sure, the team dropped Game 5 down in
San Francisco, but Game 6 was looming on Thursday, April 24th at the
Coliseum and the Sonics had lost all of two games at home in nearly two months.
Unfortunately for the home green and golds, Fred Brown
(broken finger), Tom Burleson (knee), and Spencer Haywood (sprained arch) were all
nursing injuries, meaning the team was going to need all the help it could get
from its avid supporters.
With the hated Rick Barry (and you'll see how hated later
on) helping the Warriors get out to an early lead, aided by backup center
George Johnson, who came off the bench to finish with 18 points and 15
rebounds, the mood amongst the 14,082 in attendance began to get grim.
But the Sonics wouldn't quit, rallying to tie the game in
the second quarter after trailing by as many as a dozen points. Haywood – still
ailing, he would only finish with 8 points – watched from the bench as backups
Tal Skinner and Rod Derline spurred the comeback.
The recovery was short-lived, though, and by halftime the
Warriors were out in front by eight points. Golden State expanded their lead to
double-digits in the third quarter, despite the best efforts of Seattle's Slick
Watts; the headbanded wonder turned in what Russell called "one of the great
games in basketball," finishing with 24 points, tying his career-high and
marking only the second time all season he had tallied more than 20 points in a
single game.
Watts' tremendous play came at a price, as the diminutive young
guard noted afterwards. "They hit me, knocked me around all night," Watts told
the AP later.
For that era's Sonics, Gray embodied a role later inhabited
by Danny Fortson, Maurice Lucas and Frank Brickowski – The Enforcer. While
still a rookie, Gray wasn't afraid of throwing his 240 pounds around. Tutored
by Lute Olson and Jerry Tarkanian at Cal State Long Beach, Gray was a big,
burly guy with a heart of gold (at least, from the vantage of his teammates and
friends; Tarkanian called him "the meanest SOB I ever coached"). Seeing his
point guard getting hammered and bludgeoned by the Warriors, Gray went to work,
picking as his target the man everyone loved to hate – Rick Barry.
The Sonics had fallen behind by nearly 20 points when Gray
and Barry began to tussle. Things got so out of hand that referee Richie Powers
was forced to issue warnings to both players – either knock it off, or hit the
Well, Leonard Gray was never one to let an opportunity pass,
and the possibility of getting the red-hot Rick (he'd finish the night with 31
points) Barry out of the game was just too tempting to pass up.
It was with that in mind that Gray issued the Rump Kick
Heard 'Round the Sound. With Barry facing the opposite direction, the Sonics'
O.G. kneed him in the hindquarters, following it up with a punch when Barry
spun around, drawing an immediate ejection from Powers and, it should be noted,
a roar of approval from the thousands watching courtside.
It didn't end there. As soon as Gray exited the premises
fans began pelting the court with coins and "other objects," and events started
to get crazy. Spurred on by another Sonic rally which cut the lead to
single-digits, the fans were out for blood, and Rick Barry was beginning to
look awful tasty.
When George Johnson blocked yet another shot in the final
moments, sealing the Warriors' series-ending victory, emotions got completely
out of hand. The visitors scampered for the exits, their path blocked by unruly
Seattleites intent on revenge. Half-filled popcorn boxes, beer, and soft drinks
rained down on the visitors, and that was the least of it.
At one point, Barry, trying desperately to get to the locker
room in one piece, felt someone pawing at him.
"I was leaving the floor and someone was kicking me and
hitting me from behind," Barry said later. "I turned around and it was a woman.
I mean, I really couldn't believe it. I
just swung around and pushed her out of the way. But if it had been a guy I
would have hit her.
"This is basketball – what do they think we're playing,
soccer in South America?"
Other reports indicated the woman in question had smacked
Barry with her purse and – as if that wasn't enough – even tried to trip him. (To
be fair, pretty much everyone associated with basketball in the past 40 years
probably wanted to do the same thing to Rick Barry, and that includes his
family). Worse, the affair turned truly ugly when fans, players, and police
began to mix it up near the entrance to the Warriors' locker room. In the end,
a half-dozen fans were taken away in handcuffs.
The final side note for this crazy story would not emerge
until a full six months later. On October 23, Spencer Haywood and Bill Russell
settled their long-simmering feud by parting ways and Haywood was dealt to the
New York Knicks for a draft choice, cash, and rookie forward Eugene Short;
meaning the scant eight points he scored were his final contributions in a
Sonic uniform. All the accolades, all the notoriety, all the hysteria of the
Haywood Era had ended that night in Seattle with barely a whimper.
20 years later, Watts, who would emerge as a local favorite
with Haywood gone, was a little less than complimentary to his teammates when he
reflected on Game 6.
"The other guys didn't come to play," Watts wrote in his
autobiography. "I came to win but the other guys just froze – they kind of
choked on me. All our so-called 'big scorers' disappeared."
And there you have it. A beer shower, a hailstorm of coins, Spencer
Haywood's swan song, Slick Watts' coming out party, a purse careening off Rick
Barry's head – that was NBA playoff basketball circa 1975, and Seattle was falling
for it harder than a love-struck teen with "Love Will Keep Us Together" on her
bedroom radio.

New Sonics Jersey Found
There have been plenty of Sonic jerseys in history - you've got your classic championship era jersey, your minimalist early 70s jersey, your Howard schmaltz jersey of the 00s, and so on ... but does anyone else recall this one?
It's from this Ebay sale, if you're interested, wherein the prospective bidders might learn that it is from the 1992-93 season, was never worn (obviously), and is in new condition (also, if you scroll to the middle photo with the finger holding an interior tag, a delightful joke about Shawn Kemp, err, arises).
Personally, the thought is in the right place, but I think the numbering is a little poor and the tightness of the letters makes it tough to read the word 'Sonics.' Still, it ranks in the top half of jerseys, had it actually been one the team wore, and would be better than what we saw on-court during the 1996 Finals.

Traveler's Guide to the NBA
The NBA will be deciding the fate of pro basketball in Seattle within a week or two (or three, or four, but who's counting, right?). Since it has been a few years since the league graced us with its presence, here's a rudimentary guide to the NBA for those unfamiliar with the terrain. As always, click to enlarge.

Seattle Supersonics: 1977 World Champs?!
Someone might want to tell the seller of this ebay item to check the ol' NBA history books (not to mention logos) on this one. I wonder if this is the same person who "officially licensed" Rafael's Supersonicsoul artwork on there a couple years ago.

Fog-delayed Kate beams at crowds (From Bicester Advertiser)

Fog-delayed Kate beams at crowds
1:28pm Tuesday 5th March 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
The Duchess of Cambridge has arrived in a cold, foggy Grimsby more than an hour late but beaming at the hundreds who turned out to see her.
Kate, whose helicopter from Kensington Palace was severely delayed due to adverse weather, smiled as flag-waving crowds chanted: "We want Kate!"
With her baby bump visible beneath her chocolate-coloured three-quarter length Hobbs coat, the Duchess began her visit at the north-east Lincolnshire town's National Fishing Heritage Centre - her first of three engagements.
A Palace official said her helicopter landed at Humberside Airport an hour and a quarter later than expected due to fog but Kate will complete her visit as planned. On her arrival at the dockside museum, the Duchess met local dignitaries before being given a tour of the centre, which celebrates the region's strong fishing heritage.
Former trawlerman John Vincent, now a guide, showed her around the award-winning museum, with its mocked-up 1950s high street complete with a traditional pub, which he and Kate called into. She also discussed environmental issues, such as the sustainability of North Sea fishing, with local trawler owner Kurt Christensen. Mr Vincent said: "It's been fantastic, a great honour. She's a great lady. She was very knowledgeable and asked some very good questions. We had a bit of a laugh going round too. I wished her all the best with her pregnancy and asked her to give my regards to William and Harry and bring them down here."
On leaving the museum, the Duchess made a beeline for the excited crowds, who shook her hand and presented her with flowers and a teddy bear. Six-year-old Zara Williams had been waiting with her family since 9.30am to meet the royal visitor. Zara, from nearby Goxhill, presented Kate with a bunch of pink roses and said: "She was really pretty. She was really nice to me and I liked her clothes."
The Duchess was greeted with loud cheers by the crowd gathered outside Grimsby's Peaks Lane Fire Station. Around 200 people bordered the streets outside the station, some had been waiting in brisk temperatures for nearly three hours to see Kate.
She was met by local dignitaries before making an unplanned stop on her way into the building to meet around 10 adults and children who were patients at nearby St Andrew's Hospice. Stooping slightly to talk to a group of women, who were wrapped in blankets as they sat in their wheelchairs, Kate shared a loud laugh with them. Claire Moss-Smith, 86, said she had said to the Duchess: "I'm waiting for you to be Queen." Kate laughed, she said, and replied: "You might be waiting a long time."
Once inside, Kate met young people involved with the Prince of Wales's flagship charity The Prince's Trust, and the visit was the first time she had met people on the ground involved with the charity. Some were past members who had been part of the scheme, while others were part-way through the 12-week programme delivered in partnership with Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. The Trust's Team programme is a 12-week personal development scheme which helps unemployed 16 to 25-year-olds build the skills and confidence they need to get a job.
As well as meeting with the young people, Kate was also introduced to the fire crews working at the station and shown the fleet of fire engines. She was shown a fire pole inside the station and said: "That reminds me of the scene in the Bridget Jones film." In the movie, the character Bridget Jones is made to slide down a fire pole as part of her job as a television journalist but makes an ungracious landing on top of the cameraman.

According to Tobin Ayers, the event was held on Oct. 20-21 and consisted of each clubs 15 best golfers (10 men, four senior men, and one lady). Ayers noted that the format is very similar to the Ryder Cup Matches that are played between the U.S. and Europe.
"The event is called the McIntosh Cup named after one of The Lions prominent members," Ayers said in a statement. "This is the second year we have done this and it is always something both clubs eagerly await."
The first day of the event was played at Meadow Lakes and it consisted of three nine hole two-man matches. One match was of low ball, one was a scramble and one was of alternate shots.
The second day was played at The Lion and it was 18 holes of individual match play.
This year Meadow Lakes won the event, 22-20, to move the cup to Meadow Lakes.
"We hope it will stay for many years to come," Ayers stated. "We also want to give special thanks to Matt Brynteson and Wayne Monroe for organizing the event."
Next year the tournament will have the clubs play 27 holes on day one at The Lion and 18 holes at Meadow Lakes on day two.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Cutting defense is moral choice
November 13, 2012 · Updated 1:53 PM
To the editor:
When a household donates money to help others that is a moral decision. When a household makes a decision to live an extravagant lifestyle and not give back to the community that is also a moral (immoral?) decision.
Likewise, the federal budget is a moral issue. In the current federal discretionary budget the military accounts for over 50 percent of all discretionary spending. During the past 10 years, domestic spending has been cut and human services reduced, while military spending has continued to increase unabated at an average annual rate of 9 percent. This is a moral issue.
The likelihood of sequestration of budgeted discretionary spending (spending over which Congress has control) has raised the possibility of the military budget being reduced by 10.4 percent. While the media and politicians are expressing dismay at the possibility of a reduction in the military budget, many people of conscience see this as a positive opportunity to critique spending from a moral perspective.
One that emphasizes peace making, compassion and justice. The sequester of discretionary spending outlays raises the issue of what has the increase in Pentagon spending in time of economic recession meant from a perspective of compassion, justice and peace? Are human and social needs being sacrificed for wars and preparation for wars? Are our most vulnerable citizens considered expendable?
