Christmas Candle
Christmas Ribbon
Store Bought Candle
This project is that simple that your probally wondering why we added it... well believe it or not we get numerous requests from non-crafty visitors how to Jazz up their candles for the Christmas Table.
Some times something obvious really isnt.....
Take your Christmas ribbon and tie it around the candle into a wonderful bow. If you find the ribbon keeps slipping you can use a small dress making pin to secure it by pushing it through the ribbon and into the candle. Do this under one of the loops so it can not be seen.
The more beautiful your Ribbon the more beautiful the finish....
These make Fantastic gifts ,Just tie it up in some cellophane and tie off with a bow and a small christmas gift card.
They make great gifts for Teachers, the Postman and even Grandparents.
They are also great for Christmas Fundraising stalls!!!

Very simple, but effective
too easy but i'm still making it!
How very true. We all need to be reminded of the obvious sometimes! I think I'll do a couple of these, just because they are so easy!
I think it is a great project,it is a perfect stocking filler.
Simple but sweet. Jazzes up candles nicely on the table, thanks for sharing it!!!!!
what, i did this when i was like 12!
Simple and Awesome! Great for my mom LOL
Many of you only see this as a boring project only cause you cannot come up with something more yourself. Use your imagination and make it better yourself they are only giving you a hand up. not a hand out. its a great way to say happy holidays.
The comments for this project are not very nice, you do realise not everyone is creative and they just need ideas. I think its a lovely project and can be given as is,or placed in a gift basket.
This is a great way to personalize boring candles, and great for all ages. Thanks I am off to make some for stocking fillers.
You're kidding, right?
its awesome

A Stranger in Town .. An Englishman in Spain - thoughts and impressions.
The story of our adventure in Spain
In October 2002 we purchased a holiday flat in Guardamar on Spain's Costa Blanca - not far from Alicante and Torrevieja and we try to spend a good part of the year in Spain.
This blog hopefully will contain our thoughts and impressions of Spain - the good and the bad and lots and lots of photographs of not only Guardamar but the rest of Spain as we eventually get to explore it.

There is a Kentucky state representative named Will Coursey that represents a district in western Kentucky just a little east of the Paducah area. Lately, (and just a few minutes ago as I am sitting here listening on the radio to the Kentucky vs. Indiana NCAA bball game) I have been hearing Coursey do radio commercials during the Wildcat's NCAA games broadcasts for a bank in western Kentucky.
Can he do that? Can a Kentucky state representative make commercials for a bank in his district? Seems beyond the pale to me.

I'm wondering if the miniatures will have bases similar sized to the 'Terrinoth' style (Descent, Dungeonquest, even Talisman size bases). If so, they'll add plenty of homebrew possibilities for the mentioned games. Looking forward to it.

Secreted Semaphorins from Degenerating Larval ORN Axons Direct Adult Projection Neuron Dendrite Targeting
Neuron, Volume 72, Issue 5, 8 December 2011, Pages 734-747
Lora B. Sweeney, Ya-Hui Chou, Zhuhao Wu, William Joo, Takaki Komiyama, Christopher J. Potter, Alex L. Kolodkin, K. Christopher Garcia and Liqun Luo
SummaryDuring assembly of the Drosophila olfactory circuit, projection neuron (PN) dendrites prepattern the developing antennal lobe before the arrival of axons from their presynaptic partners, the adult olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). We previously found that levels of transmembrane Semaphorin-1a, which acts as a receptor, instruct PN dendrite targeting along the dorsolateral-ventromedial axis. Here we show that two secreted semaphorins, Sema-2a and Sema-2b, provide spatial cues for PN dendrite targeting. Sema-2a and Sema-2b proteins are distributed in gradients opposing the Sema-1a protein gradient, and Sema-1a binds to Sema-2a-expressing cells. In Sema-2a and Sema-2b double mutants, PN dendrites that normally target dorsolaterally in the antennal lobe mistarget ventromedially, phenocopying cell-autonomous Sema-1a removal from these PNs. Cell ablation, cell-specific knockdown, and rescue experiments indicate that secreted semaphorins from degenerating larval ORN axons direct dendrite targeting. Thus, a degenerating brain structure instructs the wiring of a developing circuit through the repulsive action of secreted semaphorins.

Graded Expression of Semaphorin-1a Cell-Autonomously Directs Dendritic Targeting of Olfactory Projection Neurons
Cell, Volume 128, Issue 2, 26 January 2007, Pages 399-410
Takaki Komiyama, Lora B. Sweeney, Oren Schuldiner, K. Christopher Garcia and Liqun Luo
SummaryGradients of axon guidance molecules instruct the formation of continuous neural maps, such as the retinotopic map in the vertebrate visual system. Here we show that molecular gradients can also instruct the formation of a discrete neural map. In the fly olfactory system, axons of 50 classes of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) and dendrites of 50 classes of projection neurons (PNs) form one-to-one connections at discrete units called glomeruli. We provide expression, loss- and gain-of-function data to demonstrate that the levels of transmembrane Semaphorin-1a (Sema-1a), acting cell-autonomously as a receptor or part of a receptor complex, direct the dendritic targeting of PNs along the dorsolateral to ventromedial axis of the antennal lobe. Sema-1a also regulates PN axon targeting in higher olfactory centers. Thus, graded expression of Sema-1a contributes to connection specificity from ORNs to PNs and then to higher brain centers, ensuring proper representation of olfactory information in the brain.

Excitatory Interactions between Olfactory Processing Channels in the Drosophila Antennal Lobe
Neuron, Volume 54, Issue 1, 5 April 2007, Pages 89-103
Shawn R. Olsen, Vikas Bhandawat and Rachel I. Wilson
SummaryEach odorant receptor gene defines a unique type of olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) and a corresponding type of second-order neuron. Because each odor can activate multiple ORN types, information must ultimately be integrated across these processing channels to form a unified percept. Here, we show that, in Drosophila, integration begins at the level of second-order projection neurons (PNs). We genetically silence all the ORNs that normally express a particular odorant receptor and find that PNs postsynaptic to the silent glomerulus receive substantial lateral excitatory input from other glomeruli. Genetically confining odor-evoked ORN input to just one glomerulus reveals that most PNs postsynaptic to other glomeruli receive indirect excitatory input from the single ORN type that is active. Lateral connections between identified glomeruli vary in strength, and this pattern of connections is stereotyped across flies. Thus, a dense network of lateral connections distributes odor-evoked excitation between channels in the first brain region of the olfactory processing stream.

Add/View Comments (0)Diverse Functions of N-Cadherin in Dendritic and Axonal Terminal Arborization of Olfactory Projection Neurons
Haitao Zhu and Liqun Luo*,
Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 USA
- The cadherin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules have been proposed to play important roles in determining synaptic specificity in developing nervous systems. We examine the function of N-cadherin in Drosophila second order olfactory projection neurons (PNs), each of which must selectively target their dendrites to one of ∼50 glomeruli. Our results do not support an instructive role for N-cadherin in selecting dendritic targets; rather, N-cadherin is essential for PNs to restrict their dendrites to single glomeruli. Mosaic analyses suggest that N-cadherin mediates dendro-dendritic interactions between PNs and thus contributes to refinement of PN dendrites to single glomeruli. N-cadherin is also essential for the development of PN axon terminal arbors in two distinct central targets: regulating branch stability in the lateral horn and restricting high-order branching in the mushroom body. Although the N-cadherin locus potentially encodes eight alternatively spliced isoforms, transgenic expression of one isoform is sufficient to rescue all phenotypes.

Cory Mo - Neighborhood
Artist: Cory Mo
Producer: Cory Mo
Album: Ahead of My Time
Label: Endure Records
With production credits for Bun B, Mike Jones, Z-Ro, Lil' Keke, and many more under his belt, Texan producer Cory Mo is no longer satisfied with being "Houston's Most Unknown." The latest in a long line of seasoned beatsmiths looking to make a name for themselves on the mic, he's ready to take listeners nationwide on a tour of his Neighborhood. Mo's Lone Star State roots are written all over this record, from the laid-back twang of the self-produced beat to his unmistakable accent as he describes how things are done around his way. Lyrical heads are likely to take issue with the ultraliteral, punchline-free verses, but, taken as a whole, it's hard to argue with the Southern-fried swagger Neighborhood brings to the table. So, is Cory Mo truly Ahead of [His] Time? We won't know for sure till later this year, when his debut album hits stores.

As a producer Cory is teriffic, but as an emcee he still has plenty of work to do. With that said, I really enjoyed "Neighborhood" upon first listen. I am prepared to hear much more from this talented Texas...

The lights are on
Rayman Legends isn't releasing until February 26, but Ubisoft was nice enough to send out a free demo to everyone who has a Wii U.
Myself, Reiner, and intern Mike Mahardy played through all three levels the demo had to offer, which included the very awesome music/rhythm based level featuring a bizarre Rayman-themed cover of Black Betty by Ram Jam.
Watch every episode of Test Chamber in our hub by clicking here.
Email the author Kyle Hilliard, or follow on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, and Game Informer.
I couldn't help but smile while playing the Black Betty level. This game is going to be great if it's anything like the demo. The controls were tight, it made FUN use of the gamepad (nothing gimmicky), the graphics were AMAZING I mean the colors just popped off the TV, and the music was terrific. It's going to suck when this comes out at the end of February though because Monster Hunter is supposed to be out in March, and I probably won't have that much time to play it.
God this game looks so good. February is gonna be so awesome! I really hope Stairway to Heaven is one of the licensed songs. An 8 minute musical level? Yes please.
Got mine reserved and paid for.
I have the demo downloaded, just have to get around to playing it.
This makes me want the WiiU for something other than Zelda.
The art style of this game in both graphics and music are fun to look at and listen to. This will be a very great side scroll!
I played this demo in Best Buy with a few friends. It was a blast!
It looks so good!
Nice looking demo.
looks amazing! imagine what rayman would like on ps4 or something
This is probably my most anticipated game for next year as of now. The demo was outstanding.
woohoo. cant wait for this!
These are always so fun to watch & play!!
Mike Mahardy seems like a cool guy. Origins IS an amazing game and I agree with him when he says it was one of his favorites of the year.

"How should I care for Acrylic Glazing?"
"What's the best way to remove dust particles from a photo or matting?
If you have any other questions that are not addressed above, please contact email@example.com
You may safely clean the acrylic glazings we sell with a clean soft cloth. Any of the new micro fiber cloths work well, just be sure to slightly dampen the micro fiber cloth with water. Never use dirty rags or paper towels! Paper towels are the equivalent of wadded and ground up wood chips and will scratch your acrylic glazing.
If you use a cleaner, be certain it is specifically formulated for acrylic. Never use commercial window cleaners or solvents on acrylic! (Cleaners and solvents will make your acrylic cloudy.)
We clean our acrylic with Brillianize, which is a one-step acrylic cleaner and polish. Other excellent brands of acrylic cleaner can readily be obtained such as Novus. Just make sure the cleaner is specifically formulated for acrylic, then just dampen your micro fiber cloth and wipe.
Cleaning instructions are provided with the purchase of our acrylic products.

Always treat your fine art photographs as you would a water color. You may safely use a soft fine art brush to remove dust from a photo or mat, or you may use a hand held blower bulb. Never use anything damp including canned air.

Wind Power Projects: A Discussion on the Industry's Past, Present and Future
Together with the green jobs and wind energy industry's growth, the average size of install wind farm projects have also grown. In 2007, installed projects averaged about 91 MW. This size is over 30% below the average project size of 120 MW in 2009. Wind farm project sizes change because of a number of reasons.
Possible reasons could be: increasing wind power demands; increasing turbine sizes; continued practice of large turbine orders which reached up until the 2008/2009 credit crisis; partnership of project developers so such orders can be supported; and the increasing turbine and project costs. Whatever the reason may be, larger project sizes are a manifestation of an increasingly mature energy source that is making its way into the domestic electricity market.
In 2007, strengthening of the wind energy business had slowed down. But by the final quarter of 2009, it had normalized at 2008's tempo. 2007's slowdown may have been caused by several factors, along with an opinion within the industry that many of the prime targets for wind power investment were already acquired in earlier years.

- I'm not sure how much the 2010 team has improved. Sanchez will be better than the group of second basemen that the Giants ran out in 2009, but he's an injury risk in a playergroup that's tended to age poorly.
- Mark DeRosa in LF nets the Giants zero wins over playing Fred Lews in LF over a full season.
- Aubrey Huff could very well do worse at first base than a full season of Travis Ishikawa. Again, it's another position that I'm not sure the Giants got better at.
- The pitching will probably regress a little. To expect the pitching to stay the same that it was in '09 seems foolish.
- Being positive: bringing Molina back isn't a terrible deal if it means the Giants are committed to Posey as soon as they can call him up and not have it affect his arb-clock down the line. Molina should not hit 4th for the Giants in the upcoming season.
All interesting thoughts. Molina obviously didn't get the 3-year deal on the free agent market that he was looking for. I'll be working on the 2010 WAR team projection. Hopefully I'll have it online in a week or less.

I am not keen on taking my current bike. I'm seriously considering buying a new but very cheap road bike when i get to france. I've been told i can buy something for about 150 euros (though i can't see anything like that on the internet) from a shop called decathlon. This bike will enable me to go faster and more easily than my mountain bike. And being new i shouldn't have any mechanical worries, though i don't know how much weight the back wheel can stand. That's my only concern. I will look into it here at a local bike shop.
my friend who's been to paris a few times told me to book my eiffel tower tickets in advance. I supposed i should do this for other sites too to avoid the big long queues.

Connecticut College News
Ladysmith Black Mambazo - By Lilah Raptopoulos ´11
02/11/2009They took the stage of Palmer Auditorium on Thursday, February 5, and the first words spoken were in Joseph Shabalala´s raspy grind: "Our mission is to spread our culture, our culture of South Africa… of love! Of harmony." Ladysmith Black Mambazo is prone to the same imperialist struggle that many African artists have to face, and the same questioning of motive that all under the spotlight will eventually ask themselves: How did we get where we are? Is it at odds with who we are? The group spreads a pure, traditional message of love and peace, with lyrics like, "Problems can be solved when people come together/The sun rise and set forever." And yet the men were thrust into the global spotlight by the white-as-white Paul Simon, who "discovered" them during a search for inspiration in South Africa. Their message could be muddled by their multimillion-dollar profits and the money they´ve made for Disney, Michael Jackson and Graceland. Their traditional garb last Thursday was offset by their Rolex watches and perfectly synchronized choreography. They´ve been to the Grammy Awards. They´ve won Grammys. And yet somehow, the message pervaded all. If it takes integration into the capitalist system that has torn apart Africa in its effort to "develop" Africa to teach a few white Connecticut College students a lesson on unity, so be it. If that makes them a personal friendship with Nelson Mandela and invites them to sing of togetherness to the Queen of England, we´ll take it. And then we´ll buy their DVD. The internationally acclaimed group was brought to Connecticut College by OnStage, that brings performances to campus for students and the greater community. They opened in 1998 with The Flying Karamazov brothers, a juggling slapstick comedy group, and since have booked acts featuring the campus-known David Dorfman Dance Company, the lesser-known Flanders Recorder Quartet - four men in tuxedos that play various sized recorders - and the Vienna Boys´ Choir. But never have they brought in such a widely-known group as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, which made for an overwhelming mix of faculty couples, students, young children and upper-class Connecticut suburb dwellers in our Palmer Auditorium. In the audience, an African-American mother and daughter swayed in their seats. A white-haired woman shook her outstretched hands silently, with vigor, at LMB in applause. With the start of the second act came a change in the theater´s atmosphere from that of cordial acquaintance to full-on friendship. The audience began to collectively cheer through the end of every song, the last five minutes of repeated phrase that allowed for the group´s coordinated knee lifts, hand shaking and ninja high kicks. We unabashedly sang Zulu lyrics that translated to, "This woman is beautiful/She has a beautiful set of teeth." Twenty students left ther seats for the last song to dance on stage, and during the group´s encore, "God Bless Africa," not even a seat squeaked. It´s like Ladysmith Black Mambazo are people and gods at the same time. They have Dad Humor and call each other "the guys," and give high fives. They wear bright white Reebok sneakers with black pants and poke each other in the middle of songs. And yet there is another tension, one of informality versus tradition. Founder Joseph Shabalala is described by his sons as more of a deity than a daddy. He is reverentially referred to as "Mr. Shabalala" - as in, "This was the time Mr. Shabalala was inspired to write all of these beautiful songs." Shabalala´s influence was, and is, untouchable. He was presented as the force of the group´s 48-year career, as the founder and father of four current members. He would leave the stage inexplicably between songs only to return with a wide smile and words of wisdom such as, "The indigenous music of our culture is a mirror - it tells us who we are." His authenticity was, if anything, believable. The individual voices of Shabalala´s group came together harmonically, from son Thulani´s light soprano to cousin Albert Mazibuko´s low, tribal Barry White rumble, to form this sound that you couldn´t walk away from skeptically. Ladysmith Black Mambazo couldn´t be anything but genuine. It would be an insult to the sheer delight these men brought their audience to call the show insincere. They were singers with a message, throwing around the word "Love" with no hesitation, sure, maybe giving in to The Man, but doing so with a deep bow and the lyrics Paul Simon made famous in "Homeless": "We should take care of one another."

22 Aug 2012 - 15:17:08
European vice-captain Thomas Bjorn has not ruled himself out of being afforded a wildcard pick for next month's Ryder Cup.
Bjorn was approached by European captain Jose Maria Olazabal at the recent PGA Championship at Kiawah Island and asked to become one of his four vice-captains for the tournament at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois.
The 41-year-old Dane, who was also a vice-captain under Colin Montgomerie in 2010 at Celtic Manor, happily agreed, despite still being in the frame for a wildcard pick.
Now, on the eve of his defence of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles, which is also the final Ryder Cup qualifying event, Bjorn revealed he has not given up hope of being picked for the September 25-30 competition.
"I don't think when Jose Maria asked me to be a vice-captain he was ruling me out of playing on the team," said Bjorn.
"So, I think he realises that there are certain people, if they go and play well this week and win this week, he'll have to think about them.
"Going back two years, Edoardo (Molinari) had to win here to get on the team, and he did, and that changed Monty's way of thinking a little bit on the Sunday.
"But if you come here and feel like you've got a chance, and you win, then you probably deserve a spot.
"So, I am sure Jose Maria will think about anybody who wins this week. But then I also know there's only way of getting him to think that and that's winning this week."
Bjorn, who played in both the 1997 and 2002 European winning teams, is currently lying 16th in the Ryder Cup qualifying table and knows that if he were to win he would not break inside the top-10 automatic qualifiers.
If he were to be considered as a wildcard pick, he would no doubt need to successfully defend his Gleneagles title.
Two years ago, Italy's Edoardo Molinari did just that, winning the Johnnie Walker Championship and forcing Montgomerie's hand, despite finishing just one place outside of automatically qualifying for the team.
And with the Ryder Cup now just five weeks away, Bjorn believes recent European Team success in Rory McIlroy's PGA Championship triumph and Sergio Garcia's win in the Wyndham Championship has been a big boost in confidence for the Europeans.
"It's been a couple of important weeks," said Bjorn.
"There were a few months over the summer when there was a bit of worries. But you have to always remember that the US have a team that's on very, very good form and have put in some very, very strong performances this year.
"Their team is very, very good. So, when they play the way they have done, it leaves a little less room for our guys. But Kiawah was very important, and Sergio's win last week was also very important.
"It just gives a boost around the whole team. There are signs from pretty much all in the team at the moment that they are moving in the right direction, and that's probably what you want to see as a captain, right now.
"We are five weeks away and five weeks away is probably the perfect timing for all of them to be right on top of their game."

Pausing during a 'Nique-heavy day for some late afternoon notes . . .
Michael Cunningham, Hawks beat

LD Defense win championships…

4:17 pm
First of all Nique I hope all is well with you man. I see that dude didnt know who he was messing with. Now back to the Hawks. TO ALL MY BLOGERS- I have never seen a coach that received so much hatred as I have seen yall give Drew. You grade papers at the end of the test. Therefore lets grade him after the season is over. This is his first year and yall are treating him as though he has been the head coach for ten years. Yall want the man fired, people have been talking about his family. MC-give the man a lil love. I have one question for all the BLOGGERS. If we beat Orlando and advance to the second round and then get swept in the second round, will yall still be asking for his termination?

"Van Gundy teams can be trusted to make the right adjustments (not to mention the right preparations, which aren't possible on a regular-season schedule), but can Larry Drew teams be trusted to respond? If there's a reason to believe that to be the case, it's fairly well concealed under Drew's other missteps this season."
LD = Inspector Clouseau
March 31st, 2011
4:45 pm
The Hawks are not a rebuilding project so I will expect Drew to get fired unless he shows progress. I do agree when you coach the Wolves or Wizards you give a coach time to develop his players. LD did not get that luxury, coaching a 53 win team you have high expectations. That is not to say he will not be a good coach in the future, but he needs to grow with a team.
In almost every statisical category the Hawks are a worse team. He has made a couple of good coaching decisions (starting Twin against Orlando and finishing with him and giving Teague a start against Portland to give team a spark), but repeatly he has shown he is a first year coach.
March 31st, 2011
4:50 pm
Thank you MC – Josh had to urge him to finish with Twin??? As I watched the game, it did appear it was slipping away because Dwight's eyes got bigger and the basket larger when LD put ZaZa and Al on him! So, Josh urged him to put Twin in the game….

LD is a liability. Why did he wait so long to put Collins in? Why the hell wasn't jt in to slowdown Nelson? Why the hell was JC2 playing pg .KH didn't shoot well or play great defense on Nelson.why didn't Wilkins play. I am afraid that we will not be able to overcome his bad decisions. God I would love to see Etan play for more than a minute every 30 games. I hope he gives our starters some rest before the playoffs.

Wow, another reason why LD should be fired! This kid averaging 23.8 over last 5 games. LD holding him back…. LD holding JT back!!!! We could have traded JCI and played JCII!!! If we would have seen him play… would have saved ASG $10million off JCI contract!
March 31st, 2011
5:10 pm
@steve brown – I noticed. I know there's been much blog debate on whether we traded away our future, but you can't deny that Crawford really stepped up to the challenge after Wall was ejected.
March 31st, 2011
5:14 pm
Drew: "I still want some more. I'm not ready to say that yet. I see signs but I am waiting on us to put together a series of wins against teams like the Orlandos, the Bostons, and the San Antonios. See if we can play with that consistency."
I agree with LD. Hold your horses Smoove. Let's see y'all beat Boston and/or San Antonio before we declare y'all out of the woods. Let's not forget that the early March win against Chicago was followed by four straight losses, and the two impressive wins against Portland and Milwaukee were followed by two blowout losses. They need more than one win over a quality opponent to show that the last month and a half are behind them.
March 31st, 2011
5:19 pm
None of Collins' fouls looked like flagrants to me, but at the same time, Dwight is a lot like Shaq in that a foul that is hard enough to be called a flagrant against anyone else is not going to look like a flagrant when committed against him. If Collins comes down with the same force on, say, Chris Bosh, Bosh probably goes flying and Collins gets called for the flagrant. I can sympathize to an extent with Dwight in that it's gotta suck to get hammered twice as hard as everyone else and not have a flagrant foul called in your favor all season.
March 31st, 2011
5:24 pm
Making excuses…
All these national writers making excuses for what has happened to the Magic. They are not the same team as last year. They are SMALLER and SOFTER and no one seems to accept these facts.
I know how we have played this year but we have 50 win talent and they are starting to focus.
The Magic are worse 2-4 this year and they are in trouble.
March 31st, 2011

We should draft Jon Leuer.

YES! Even if the Hawks reach the ECF Drew should be relieved of his job.

You can stop worrying about what Jordan Crawford is doing with the Wizards, because he was never going to do anything close to what he's doing now under LDrew. Just like Woodson, he'll play his vets into the ground, no matter what the outcome, before playing a rookie or younger guard.
We're already seeing him give major mins to Jamal, despite him being in a prolonged slump and playing out of position, while JTeague receives minimal mins, even when his speed, quickness and DEF are desperately needed. After almost 2yrs of receiving the WOODY/DREW TREATMENT, Teague seems to be holding up a lot better than SStaudemire and ALaw managed to do.
I think Teague and Hinrich make a very complimentary backcourt, and I think JJ is better suited to playing SF. He's not as quick, fast and/or athletic as most starting SG's, but he has enough of those attributes, along with his size and strength, to have an advantage over most SF's.
Most SF aren't included in pick and rolls, so he won't have to fight over so many picks. Most SF operate on the wing, so he won't have to defend his man in the open back court. Both Hinrich and Teague are quicker, faster and more athletic than JJ, which makes them better able to defend pick and rolls and provide help DEF.
I can't say we have enough talent to win the NBA championship, but I can certainly say we have enough to determine who does. All that's missing to make it all work is a HC that can instill more structure, accountability, confidence and decipline.

Allen Iverson's Lambo in Lock-Up
Allen Iverson 's sick Lamborghini is sitting in an Atlanta police impound yard … after the former NBA superstar got pulled over last night … TMZ has learned. Atlanta PD confirms Iverson was a passenger in his silver 2009 Lambo when they pulled over the ride because it had expired dealer tags. Police impounded the whip and gave A.I. a ticket. By the way, after Iverson got his belongings out of the Lambo — he slipped into another car … his friends were following in an even sicker Rolls-Royce. That's just how he Rolls.

Twin will need to work on his cardio because it looks like we will need him to finish off the 4th quarter with orlando.
We also need to get teague more ready because kirk and jamal can't see nelson. Nelson is the wildcard going into the series. Actually kirk would be a good fit guarding redick.
March 31st, 2011
6:57 pm
Now i know a lot of you are thinking, hey, Ken strickland is so stupid. He was singing Drews praises and bragging about the princeton offense and how this would take the hawks to another level. You guys are probably thinking, hey Ken is blind and has a low basketball IQ and now that his belove Princeton maestro Drew is a clear and obvious burst he want to jump ship rather that admit hes an Idiot.
We You are right. I am an idiot. But you my friend are a bigger idiot because you read me.
Yes, I admit Woodson did a great job considering the talent level. Remarkable as a matter of fact. But thats not why Im here.
Im here because I like chitting out my mouth. My conversation goes no where because Im clueless. Which brings me to my main point…
WTF you looking @
March 31st, 2011

That right my mine point is the hawks participate in the nba and therefore deserve to have a trademark or logo.

7:00 pm
Ok balls in your court. How do you feel about that?
March 31st, 2011
7:03 pm
Free The Teague!
It was a good game, but at the 4:00 min mark of the 4th quater, it was evident that Collins needed to be in there and Jamal needed to be TAKEN OUT in order to protect the league. At least LD isn't as slow as Woody but he's dangerously close.
Woody-lite makes my stomach turn sometimes Smh….

To me hawks play way better on road this year,than all other previous years going into the playoffs with several good road wins over teams.I think hawks can do well on the road in playoffs and steal one or two from orlando.Hawks confidence is higher on road than at home.
March 31st, 2011

How can the hawks get Jordan crawford back he had 39 points againt heat what was the hawks was thinking
March 31st, 2011
7:33 pm
@Rev In Tampa-You have got to be kidding. Are you saying if LD doesnt win the Championship he should be fired? Maybe you just hate him because he is a black man. Do you realize that 6 coaches have won 28 out of the last 30 championships.
March 31st, 2011
7:45 pm
The Game Has Changed no he sucks! We have cited SEVERAL EXAMPLES.. NONE OF WHICH IS BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. IT IS BECAUSE HE IS AN IDIOT!!! For the record, there have been MANY black men who were IDIOTS!!!!!!.. and clueless and a poor coach.. and he is certainly one! The Hawks win only because of them being a good team.
March 31st, 2011
7:45 pm
We hate him because he don't have a clue & is stubborn as a junkyard dog. He caused us jc2 & next years first round draft pick & is screwing jt. I hope to hell he don't run our starters into the ground before the playoffs
March 31st, 2011
8:04 pm
The Game Has Changed,
For your information I was one of Larry Drew's biggest supporters on this blog. Many can attest to this. In fact, my reversal has been so great that doc is calling me "dev in tampa" to illustrate how completely I have become my polar opposite in regards to Drew.
My question for you is, "Are you Larry Drew's Grandmother???"
March 31st, 2011
8:07 pm
Can people please stop with all the Crawford updates? Yah, it's great that he's doing so well on a lottery team, but come on people. We only drafted him because we didn't know if Joe would be back. [insert insane contract here] But because Joe did come back we were NEVER going to play him, especially with Jamal still on the roster. Would you all have preferred if we didn't trade him so he could sit and twiddle his thumbs on the bench?
I'll take Teague over Crawford any day of the week. He shows way to much potential in his entire game, whereas Crawford seems to be stuck on his jump shot. Which brings me to my next point, do we really want another extreme jump shooter?!
And i'm sure Jordan is happy with the trade too.
March 31st, 2011
8:14 pm
Y'all get over it. Jordan Crawford is gone. Stop crying about old news.
I swear, Hawks 'fans' are incredible. Hawks had a great win, and they still find something to complain about. Teague's playing time. Trading Crawford. Fire Larry Drew. Josh has been playing high level bball and they still dog him out. Insane! Y'all incredible!
Dwight takes some hard shots and he's whinning? Get over it sissy. You must be able to take it if you dish it out too. No more easy dunks, dude. Twin Terminator is in the house.
Great win, man. Hawks controlled the tempo throughout. Surreal win. And fans still complain.

All we are saying is he is JCI replacement. We can save money and have instant offense off the bench. Maybe we can use the extra cash so we don't have to sign Josh Powell this summer.

The moment Dwight came back into the game, I was screaming for Twin to return as well. Drew blew that and thanks to 'low basketball IQ' Josh, coach pulled his head out of his butt.

Throw it down big man, Dominique (as Bill Walton would say)
Those of us that are quickly turning the corner as if to believe the Hawks have the necessary stuff to beat the Magic-please take a minute to look at some troubling obstacles. In all the games we have beat the Magic, they haven't played well, and they haven't suited all their players, and were still within 1 or 2 plays from winning the game.
The Magic beat us on 3 fundamental issues-3 point shooting, pick and roll defense and dribble penetration. We played a good game last night, I somewhat hesitant to call it a perfect game, but make no mistake four of those type games will be hard to find next month against the Magic. In addition, the Magic are almost where Boston was last year-they haven't really put together a formidable run yet they have found ways to win games against big teams, and they are going to win about the same games in the regular season as Boston did last year with their core players playing with something to prove especial JN and DH. ( Almost like the old team we called the Celtics last year). Make no mistake, they are not the Celtics, just expressing some similarity.
To beat the Magic we would have to stick to a strict strategy with in game adjustments where necessary and one on one Dwight D to stop the 3's. LD would have to coach up in this series in my opinion, not to say the Stan has done great in the playoffs. To illustrate game strategy and coaching: Last night while we are doing well with Twin on Dwight and then LD decides to go to his "training camp strategy" of AL going one on one with Dwight just because on paper it has worked out before on other big men. I think Najeh talked about Josh running down yelling he's too big before LD finally succumbed to making the change.
Also, our old switch on pick and roll defense will not fair well when the game slows down in April. I am sorry, but this is going to be a 6 game series at best.
March 31st, 2011

Lets not get to head of ourselves im with LD we need more wins to say were good. The next is for Marvin to play great that is our chance for a good playoff run now.

Rajon Rondo must suck defensively because Tony Parker is getting into the lane against him at will. lol
But seriously, Parker is absolutely killing Rondo right now. Rondo is providing absolutely no resistance.

Some of these fans wish we would blow up the team just so Jordan Crawford can score 39 points on our way to 10 win seasons .
The wizards arent trying to win games they are trying to see what there young players can do thats why they traded Hinrich to begin with.

For those who felt Sund and the ASG made a BIG mistake by refusing to overpay to sign Snaq, do you still feel that way? Shaq hasn't been healthy enough, or played in enough gms, to qualify for anything but medical treatment.
Shaq frequently missing extended time while nursing questionable injuries is what turned Kobe and DWade against him. Both of these players are well known for their toughness and willingness to play through pain and serious injuries.
We all know Shaq would never even think of coming back from surgery as soon as JJ did. Shaq is the REAL BIG BABY ON THE CELTICS.

It's a shame that the Hawks are being "coached" by the biggest idiot in the history of coaching. When they play smart, they're very good; unfortunately, several of them lack the good sense to continue to do what works, and they have no coach to guide them. They're going to get killed in the playoffs, thanks to nitwit Larry Drew.,,

Big Krit is not original at all. He sounds just like Pimp C. Krit gives you the old skool southern rap style but his lack of originality will hold him back from ever being anything more than a southern success. Plus, his name is a dig at T.I.(King Remembered in Time), which is lame to name yourself in direct reference to someone else. Lastly, when KRIT tries to step up to the throne T.I. will murder his career like the other wanna-be competitors and he will use the name to show that KRIT was just another mini me.
On to the Hawks, Larry Drew and Rick Sund both have to go along with Kirk Hinrich, along with moving Al in a trade or move him to his correct position of PF. What I mean is all the stopgap (getting one until you can get the one) stuff must end here.
Kirk Hinrich should be traded so there is no way he can be your starting PG day 1 of next year.
Zaza, Marvin, or Joe must be traded along with Kirk Hinrich to rid the team of 1 of there bad term longer contracts.
You must get a C and a SF or a C and a PG in the trade that moves Kirk Hinrich and Zaza or Kirk and Marvin or Kirk and Joe.

I just thought about my earlier blog where I answered the question about exactly how stupid I am. Its a good question that merits a lot of research, for those of you who may be interest.
I dont know why you guys dont really care for Drew's Princeton offense. This motion offense has got us where were at…think about where wed be with out Drew? I shutter to think! Lets just keep it going.
Now, back to what I was talking about. A lot of you think Im an idiot. well Youre not the only ones who feel that way. Perhaps the reverend Dmaryb will sprinkle some vinegar on me or something. The bottom line is I have a lot of chit in my mouth.

Comparing him to them and saying he's as good as them are two different things. Nobody is putting KRIT in that category based off one album, but it's a similar style and dude has a lot of potential.

Here's a word on the so-called "coming back early from injuries" nonsense.
The Predicament– Hawks have an offseason $120 million signeee with very poor statistics and a history of making derogatory comments aimed at his own fans.
The Trick/Bait — They (in this case the Hawks) must get the public to buy into in some initial (and ongoing) press release that states some arbitrary period of time that is "expected" before the player returns. This *may* involve exagerating an injury or some alleged procedure in order to serve their purpose.
(Note: Once the public has fallen for this hook, line and sinker — everyone with the agenda has got the public right where they want them)
The Objective — If an entity with access to the press (in this case the Hawks) desires a positive reaction (from the public) surrounding a player — they wax a longer period of absence than is actually expected for the player's return from injury.
The final spin —The player *appears* (to the public) in a positive light (almost heroic) when they "return early" from injury.
(Now wasn't that easy?)
The press is the enemy of anyone who does not have access to it for the purpose of brainwashing people in order to enhance their own agenda.
Believe ONLY what you know to be fact — based on your own observation.

Word on The Street!
doc, allegedly this Rashan guy swung on the security people first, made contact there, then swung on Nique in his chest area. Then Nique gave him a lovely facial, he will need cucumbers to reduce the puffy eye lids I guess. LOL!
That ref looked like a defeated boxer after 15 rounds, he'll need a
"cut-man" heh? Seems like he was looking for trouble and he found it!.
I was listening to The 2-Live Stews today on 790 The Zone and,
Doug and Ryan said this Rashan was a friend of theirs. Apparently, when they met this "crotch – sniffer"?
He gave them each, two samples of his custom made shirts to try out, in hopes they would place orders in the future and recommend his services to their family, friends and contacts. Ryan said he took the shirts but never ordered anything. Doug may have placed an order or two.
Ryan said Rashan got a little aggressive with him and intimated that since he didn't show him any love, perhaps he should pay him for those samples. Ryan checked him and put him in his place, but remained friendly. They saw the mug shot and was like – damn! wow! Why did he come at Nique at work, in the arena with that ISH. This guy has some serious personality disorders and created a discrepancy for himself.
Between Tim Donoughey (sic) and this guy, are these ref's certifiable or what. Can you say egotistical? – all comments are alleged.
doc, BTW … I haven't seen the TMZ video yet, so.
I'll be in Section 314 tomorrow with my Grand-Daddy, so if you are there, I would love to meet with and introduce myself.

I wish people would get over this Jordan Crawford thing.He is really playing minor league ball with a big league team.Iffhe was with a team that was playing for a playoff position he would be on the bench.He is learning to play because The Wizards have nothing to lose.We see the point total,but we don't see the missed assignments and the turnovers.He is getting killed on defense and if you saw how Wade and the other top players were using him,people would not be so jacked up.He is in a good place to learn,but if he was playing for a upper ranked team he would be in the D League.

"I have one question for all the BLOGGERS. If we beat Orlando and advance to the second round and then get swept in the second round, will yall still be asking for his termination?"

April 1st, 2011

From the previous blog;
Defensively, from what I see, he can not stay in front of the quicker guards in the league, which was the problem when Bibby was here..
If Bibby only had trouble staying in front of the quicker guards, then the Hawks would have only switched against quicker guards. But the reality was the Hawks switched every game all the time, because (imo) Bibby could not stay in front of anybody.
Woody said the switching was to cover up certain guys weaknesses, and I think it all started with Bibby.
April 1st, 2011
7:32 am
I'm with Najeh and LD. I can't get carried away just because we've beat 2 bottom feeders (Nets and Cavs), and won a close gmae against Orlando. I need to see it more consistently against good teams before I buy in.
•L.D. said he most likely would go back to the "regular" lineup vs. the C's: "At the five spot, Krstic is good but I think we can match up pretty good with him with our regular lineup. I haven't made a decision yet but I'm leaning that way.".
In the Celtics-Spurs game last night, Krstic left with a knee injury and is going to get an MRI, so its very unlikely that he plays tonight. Maybe they will go with JO, who just returned from injury.
Rondo went off against Tony Parker last night. 22 pts, 14 assists, 0 turnovers. Wow.
With the Celtics playing last night, and no Shaq, no Krstic, I would like to see the Hawks win tonight. Maybe LD will find minutes for Teague
April 1st, 2011
7:41 am
Also, to be thorough, not all of Rose's points came with Hinrich guarding him. And I am willing to bet that not all of Nelson's points came with Hinrich guarding him, so despite scoring above their season average, I dont think you should put it all on Kirk.
And just because a guy is a good defender does not mean he is a defensive stopper. Sometimes all the good defender can do is make his opponent work harder for his shot, and still get a hand up.

No, Woodsons switching was designed to cover up Al Horford's frail defense in the paint. He was and is getting abuse regardless of who the point guard is. There was an argument that once bibby man beat him there was little to be done. We changed Bibby and that did not work. It only works when we put some one under the basket not named Al horford. Of course there are more Big bodies around than during Woodsons tenure. Woodson had little choice but to rotate and switch to help Horford. It doesnt matter if Gary Payton was the point. Opposing Coaches will still pick and isolate Horford under the basket and abuse him.

I Double Dare You!
"somebody tell Dominique to pay his debts."
You don't know anything about Nique's debts, perhaps you want to stay out of that aspect. Second thought, I dare you to go tell him
Yourself. Just go get all up in his face. Go ahead … He'll be court side tonight, he ain't hard to find.

MC, you got to be scratching your head AT some of the comments LD makes…that was a rhetorical question…I know you can't respond.
Just when you want have a good feel about this dude…he keep talking about going back to THE regular line-up. When is he going to understand that old model is broken…he's a HC now…he got to come up with something new.
Thanks to the Hawks recent upswing…I was able enjoying watching the feature NBA game on TNT.
It was interesting watching the Lakers and Celtics preparing for the playoff…Both coaches was focus on getting their reserves prepared for the playoff…because they know it's a war of attrition.
Doc, said the reserves are going to look bad because they haven't been getting much PT…that why some time you have to leave them out there…even if cost you a few games…my point is…he was more concern with his reserves being able up to perform up to his team's standard…even if it cost him a couple games.
The great coaches know half court execution is paramount in the playoff…and all know that has been the Hawks undoing.
I'm thinking to myself…would it behoove LD to adopt a similar…or at the very lease consider some aspect of that approach…we have starters that need rest…and reserves that need PT…shouldn't Twin start the rest of the season…so the Hawks can fine tune their half court execution…hmmmmmm…just saying…again purely rhetorical.lol
Ken Strick, now that's the Ken I know…still bashing Shaq…even though he would have provided the ASG an athlete with star power and KA GILLONS dollars in free marketing…keep bashing away…glad you are feeling a little better.lol

@Rev In Tampa-Why are you even on this blog. Why dont you keep your comments in Miami or Orlando. You are so out of touch with reality. If Larry Drew should be fired even if he reached the Conference Finals is crazy. There are only going to be 4 coaches remaning at that point. Even if you like it or not, he will be around for some years. So get use to it or stick with your Florida teams. And @AJ-any players stats go up when they go to a losing team. I like Jordan but he was not going to be doing that in the playoffs against Orlando. Jamal can but not Jordan.
April 1st, 2011
10:04 am
The Game has changed,
I think if LD makes it to the second round, they should bring him back next year. But if he loses in the first round, he should be fired.
However, regardless of whether the team makes it to the second round or not, there needs to be a trade to shake up the roster, because its not all the coach's fault. Players need to accept some of the blame.
I like Jordan but he was not going to be doing that in the playoffs against Orlando. Jamal can but not Jordan..
They key words are Jamal CAN. But with the way he has struggled the last couple months, I dont expect much from Jamal in the playoffs…
April 1st, 2011

"However, regardless of whether the team makes it to the second round or not, there needs to be a trade to shake up the roster, because its not all the coach's fault. Players need to accept some of the blame. "
This statement is irrefutable!
"They key words are Jamal CAN. But with the way he has struggled the last couple months, I dont expect much from Jamal in the playoffs…"
For some reason, Jamal feels no love from The ASKG and whether he has allowed this to affect his play this season? We will never know.
If this is the case, however, how can a player accept a 10.8M and not render a professional effort? That would be unacceptable on all levels.
I would have no interest in re-signing such a man.

@O'Brien-I dont think we should consider it a shake up if we make it to the second round. We just need to add a bonafide center and go from there. Only 8 teams make it to the second round. The Celtics are on the decline as well as Orlando. So I put the Hawks right up there with Miami and Chicago for the years to come. Jamal will have it together come playoffs. Trust me

The defensive effort the Hawks show tonight is more important than a win. I would rather lose 85 to 84, than win 108 to 107. The playoffs will be played in the 80 point range and that is the Identity we need to show. Scoring a hundred points against Boston is an aberration and could be easily dismissed.
April 1st, 2011
11:28 am
Josh Smith has averaged 23.5 points and 10.0 rebounds the past four games, a boost of confidence he'll need against Boston. He's missed all 11 shots he's taken in the two meetings with the Celtics, totaling three points – his two worst individual performances in the past four seasons.

If somebody owed you 13K for some home made suits?
Why wouldn't you get a 50% deposit up front and the balance upon delivery? If you are not that smart and this passes for years without resolution? Then file a civil suit – that's where ignorant people go who can't resolve issues in a CIVILIZED manner!
Like Doug and Ryan said on their talk show yesterday. This Rashan character gave them 2 shirt samples each in hopes of future orders and referrals. When, Ryan took the samples and didn't order any thing, this man became aggressive and demanded Ryan pay him for the unsolicited samples!
So, we don't know anything about this alleged money owed.
Why not stay out of that aspect and refrain from baseless opinions and statements. I don't see any of this is lewis's business.
Even if he does owe the money, there is no justification for a physical assault ending in a self induced butt whuppin' and cry for sympathy.
Take him to court, not court-side.

If the Hawks happen to do decently in the playoffs ( which is highly unlikely ), it will be in spite of Larry Drew, not because of him. This guy has proven over the course of this season that he hasn't a clue! He needs to be GONE after this season.

I dont think we should consider it a shake up if we make it to the second round. We just need to add a bonafide center and go from there..
That's a possibility, but Hawks are already over the cap, so unless they are willing to spend the MLE to go over the luxury tax, that bonafide center will have to come via trade. And I think Josh and Al are their only good trade chips.
IMO, even if we make the second round, there have been too many home blowouts to not make a trade (especially if we keep LD).

@O'Brien-The Hawks have money. ASG is just stingy. Phillips Arena was paid for by the Phillips company so money is available. Going over the luxury cap is only a big deal to teams who dont want to win. The Lakers payout is almost 92 million this year. Do you think they care about the luxury cap. The Hawks payout is 70 million and next year that will drop to 64 million so they have they have the money to put some butts in the stands and win win win baby.

"Phillips Arena was paid for by the Phillips company so money is available."
ASKG has a 99 year lease of the arena to display their two professional teams. There is no FREE rent in America, definitely not in downtown Atlanta. The recent court battle won allowed them to separate all three entities so that they may be negotiated for sale independently.
Are you saying the building is paid for, so it's free to play there?

@AG-You are right we have the same team from last year. But sometimes you have to take a step back before you move forward. The team may not be a rebuilding team but we are dealing with a first year coach. He is learning on the fly. You can be an assistant coach for a hundred years but once you become the head coach its a different ball game. Look how long it took Phil Jackson to implement his system. 4 yrs. This is chess not checkers. Give the brother some time. Rev from Tampa is saying he should get fired even if he reach the conference finals. Thats insane. What do you think is good enough for him to keep his job?

The step back would have been to start Teague.

In this case, the numbers dont lie.
When point guard Mike Bibby has been on the floor for the Heat, Miami's defense has surrendered 15 points per 100 possessions more than when he has sat on the bench. (We use per 100 possessions as the standard to control for potential tempo effects).
That sounds bad, but how damaging is that? Consider this: the difference between the league's top defense (Chicago) and the league's worst defense (Cleveland) is 12.5 points per 100 possessions. Do the math, and you find that Bibby's defensive impact has been about three points wider than that.
In fact, according to Synergy Sports, opponents have shot 51.2 percent on spot-ups when guarded by Bibby, but it's effectively 66.3 percent shooting once you account for the fact that many of those spot-up shots come from beyond the arc. You don't need a leaderboard to gauge how atrocious that is. .

DescriptionCamp Dick and Camp Peaceful Valley sit up a beautiful, sub-alpine, glacial drainage surrounded by the scenic Indian Peaks Wilderness. Pristine granite boulders sit along the valley that stretches West from the end of Camp Dick for several miles along the Middle Saint Vrain River until the Indian Peaks Wilderness boundary. Technically the vast majority of the climbing sits up-road from the actual Camp Dick. The area is also popular with a wide range of day hikers, off-road enthusiasts, car-campers, hikers, fishers, mountain bikers, and backpackers. Spending a weekend of camping and climbing here will not disappoint. Getting ThereCamp Dick is located along the Peak to Peak highway (also know as CO Hwy 72) about 18 miles North of Nederland and 4 miles South of CO Hwy 7. It takes about 25 minutes to get there from Lyons, about 45 minutes from Boulder, about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Denver, and about 40 minutes from Estes Park. CampingYes! Summer camping at Camp Dick is great. If you hike in 1/2 mile along the 4x4 road or hiker's trail, you can set-up camp for free. There are many options with most of them being right next to the river in beautiful locations. I highly recommended that you make it into a camping/climbing trip. I would avoid all camping within the actual Camp Dick/Peaceful Valley group campgrounds unless hanging out with large groups of RVs and paying for camping is your thing.

CHARLOTTE--Pittsburgh residents Michael Ditoro and his wife are on vacation, and as they make their way to Myrtle Beach, they spent their layover attending the early mass.
"When we came in, my wife heard an announcement on the intercom about the mass, and we were looking for a place to go to mass this morning, so here we are," said Ditoro.
The Sunday morning mass and interfaith services are just one of the many things the 19 chaplains offer to airport employees and passengers.
"We basically are here to support the people who work here as well as the passengers, should they have a need for some spiritual help, some spiritual support," said Deacon George Szalony.
And just two months ago, they added yet another new program.
"To make ourselves more accessible, what we've done is all of the duty chaplains, whoever's on duty as a shift, carries a cell phone now so that employees who work in the airport can call and reach us if we're needed at a gate or we're needed in the airport," said Szalony.
They say it's a large airport, and with only one chaplain on duty at a time, they need the help of others to let them know when they're needed.
"The good news is, it's only been used once. If somebody's going to call us, it's because there's an issue. So the best news is that the cell phone never be used," said Szalony.
It's something that's reassuring to passengers, who say it's a great service.
"If you're in a public place and you're upset, you probably need some kind of help, someone to hold your hand and that's what we're here for," said Szalony.
"Because I have a lot of faith in my faith, so I would try to search, if I was having a big problem, I would really search for some help at the time," said Ditoro.
Szalony says their three Sunday services, two masses and one interfaith, usually attract 50 to 70 employees and passengers.
