It's newspaper television. The internet is a wonderful thing.
What's next for AJC TV?
In reference to prior blog, you can add subtitles to the video for the slow to read sarcasm set. Don't confuse them with things like "pulling your leg", just flash "sarcasm" at bottom of screen.
All that said, I hear Jameer picks Bulls in 3 for 2nd round contest

@Worldwide Clyde (from the previous blog):
For the record, on this blog, I publicly predicted the Hawks in 6 while just about everyone else was predicting the Magic in 5/6/7. But if it helps your ego to claim that you were THE ONE that made this prediction, then so be it.
(I think there were maybe two or three bloggers in addition to myself that made this prediction before the playoffs began.)
@Najeh (from previous blog)
Really good analysis and summary of the game. Though I know I have disagreed with you on some of less important points throughout the year, you tend to really be head on the vast majority of the time. Keep up the good blogging!

I don't like this nice little factoid John Hollinger pointed out. It will give the ASG another way to rationalize staying put with the Hawks as currently constructed.
"… the Hawks stunned the Magic in six games to advance to the second round for a third straight season — becoming one of only three teams, along with the Lakers and Celtics, to make that claim."

J from the A
I agree.
Even if the Hawks get past Chicago. The Hawks still should make some changes.
The goal is to compete for a championship and the Hawks are not constructed to do that right now.

"A SHOUT OUT HAS TO GO TO THE GREAT MARVIN WILLIAMS. I tell you that guy allways surprises when he is at the end of his rope. Did you see those TOWERING THREE-POINTERS HE MADE LAST NIGHT THAT SWISHED THROUGH THE NETS! AWESOME. THAT WAS THE BEST GAME THAT MARVIN EVER HAD AND HE SAVED IT FOR THE JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT. Kudos to Marvin Williams. All Hail to the King. Not King LaBron James. King Marvin Williams. What a spectacular peformance by Marvin Williams–a professional in every sense of the word. No wonder Marvin started for all those years. Marvin played basketball the old-fashioned way. HE EARNED HIS SALARY LAST NIGHT. WOW. MARVIN WAS CLEARLY THE BEST PLAYER IN THE FLOOR LAST NIGHT."

"The playoffs are about matchups, and for any team in the eastern conference that has to play the Hawks, the hawks are a bad matchup for Boston, Chicago,and Miami. but miami would be the team that would give them the most problems because of Wade and James who both like to get to the basket.
The Hawks have mismatche advantages all over the floor against the bulls, starting with Horford over Noah, If josh plays in the post boozer will have a hard time. Keith bogans only averages 4 points as the bulls starting 2 guard, he will not be able to guard joe nor jamaal. Look for joe to post up derek rose in the post a lot and probably get him into some foul trouble. This series will be easier for the Hawks than it was against the magic. The magic would have beaten any of the other teams in the east in this years playoffs, but the hawks was the worst matchup they could draw."
Interesting observations!
April 29th, 2011
12:03 pm
All Hail King Marvin. lol @ JeJe
But in all seriousness. Marvin showed up big last night, hitting four key shots in the 2nd half. Those shots were big enough that we can forgive him for getting stripped. (Sorry, just had to get that jab in there.) And let us not forget, he also played decent defense, too. Might Marvin be able to transition into a Bruce Bowen+* type player.
*The '+' is because Marvin can guard the 2, 3, and 4. I don't think Bruce could ever guard the 4.

Much props to the hawks for beating a team that destroyed them a year ago. Before the naysayers start blogging before the ball is even tipped off about how we are going to lose, the team deserve some credit for that. As for the bulls, forget the media, I like our chances. I know we played an ugly series but the bulls look very shaky themselves against lesser competition. FORGET THE HYPE……LETS GO HAWKS
April 29th, 2011
12:06 pm
I think we forget that Keith Bogans is a very solid defensive player. He will give Joe and Jamal some fits, but if they stay aggressive, they should be able to take advantage. And when Korver comes into the game … well, Joe and Jamal need to punish him.
April 29th, 2011

Jameer see ya next year buddy. He was a hot mess in round1 so there will be no round 2.

I would say most proudly that I give MW more heck than anyone on this blog. Yet, when I tear into him, he does this! Great game Marvin. You showed up tonight.
Also, myself with a lot of others on this blog have said play JT, if an injury happens in the post season……. well it did and LD did not play him. I will say I have wanted JT to start. I will not blame Woody-Lite if he plays poorly. JT has to seize this opportunity for his career. If he plays well in this series, he will be Atlanta's point guard for the future. I think more pressure is on him than on Josh. Josh did have a bad scoring game, but I would not trade him.

Is there a way you can compile stats of Horford's Head-To-Head vs. Noah?
This is from nba.com's Stats Cube
Horford vs Noah on the court ( on a per-36 minute basis )
17.8 ppg
9.1 rebs
3.3 asst
So going head to head vs Noah isn't a problem for Horford. But Noah on a per-36 minute basis is a +16 in +/- rating when he's on the court vs Al. And that's because we haven't been able to stop Rose or Deng, combined with either JJ or Jamal not being able to get it going in the same game.
In those 2 Chicago blowout losses, Deng and Rose have absolutely destroyed us. And their bench has outplayed our bench. With LD significantly shortening his rotation, I wonder if that will have any effect on how the Hawks play the Bulls.
I honestly think you're going to see a lot of JJ on Derrick Rose in this series. That may reduce the effectiveness of JJ on the offensive end if he has to do that. So a guy like Horford may have to have a pretty big series, along with Smith, in order to overcome them. And if Jamal is going to be guarding Rose, he needs to offset what he gives up, by providing offense of his own.

OK we put da magic back in the hat, now we need something or someone to motivate the hawks to put the bulls back in the pen. Bulls strugled with the pacers, if the Hawks play the way they played against the magic we will be in the Eastern Finals. CAN JAMEER NELSON SAY SOMETHING STUPID TO PUMP UP THE HAWKS

Deng will crush Marvin as he always does unfortunately head to head. Marvin will probably put on his invisible cloak again….

We have seen and "The Truth" has been told.
Congratulation to "our" Hawks on a victorious series against Orlando
From a larger prospective though exactly what does this moment really mean for the Hawks in general and for Hawksville in particular?
For the Hawks:
1. The 1st rd expectation of a previously 53 win Hawks team has been met
2. The past demons from humiliating losses from Orlando have now been exercise
3. The Kirk Hinrich trade has turned out to be better than expected
4. Jamal's future with the Hawks is clear, he must be re-sign
5. The Hawks 6 straight losses going into playoff has been proven to be irrelevant
6. As ugly as a loss can be with this team, it is just a loss; means little for next game
For Hawksville:
1. The perception of the Hawks front office should improve (for now)
2. Previous biases, strong-hole positions, and negative perceptions will be loosen
3. The trolls will have to find another home
4. The pressure is now of the fans to fully support their team

I Love the atlanta hawks. I knew the hawks could beat the Majics. They murder us last year and I knew the hawks would get revenge on orlando. Go ATL!!!
April 29th, 2011
12:29 pm
With the series starting on Monday night, I don't know if that will be enough time for Hinrich to recover from a strained Hamstring. I just don't see any way possible he could be ready to go in 3 days, if he strained his hamstring. In most cases, you're at least talking about a week.
Honestly, I would at least hold him out for Game 1, regardless if he says he can go or not. Not saying that we can throw away Game 1, but it's better to be without Hinrich for Game 1, than for him to play in Game 1 and re-aggravate the injury and possibly lose him for the rest of the series.
Then the question will be . . . will LD start Teague? And if he does, talking about throwing the dude into a raging inferno . . wow. He goes from very used benchwarmer, to guarding the MVP of the league.
But like I said, I think JJ is going to have to guard Rose. And honestly, that favors the Bulls if he has to do it for most of the game. Damien Wilkins defense is vastly overrated, but he may have to take a shot at guarding Rose as well.
April 29th, 2011
12:30 pm
Smoove absolutely MUST D-up Leoul Deng. I think a lot of people are underestimating the impact that Josh had on Hedo Turkoglu.
April 29th, 2011
12:38 pm
Jamal, in my opinion, won't be re-signed.
We're at 64 million in committed salary between 7 players even with Jamal gone. So unless the ASG all of a sudden wants to pay the luxury tax, there's no way they can get Jamal to sign for a small enough amount to get him to re-sign. The Hawks would literally have to trade a player like Hinrich or Marvin for draft picks, to make room for Jamal to be re-signed. And honestly, that would weaken us, not make us better. We really can't afford to subtract from the talent here, and not replace that with an upgrade in talent.
The better Jamal plays throughout the playoffs, the more his stock rises. I can easily see a team like New Jersey overpaying for this dude. At that point, it will come down to what Jamal wants to do.
Does he want to play on a winning team and have a shot at winning a title?
Or does he want to secure one last big money contract?
With no Jordan Crawford here to possibly take his place, the Hawks will go the free agent route and see if they can secure a guy for less than the MLE to replace Jamal. You're probably talking about adding low salary guys like a Kelenna Azubuike ( who played decently for a while at Golden St ), or maybe giving a guy like J.R. Smith close to the MLE, to be that super-sub off the bench.
Next year, it will be all about Marvin Williams as the 6th man, more than likely. And Teague will have no choice but to step up, with LD maybe having no choice but to play the kid.
April 29th, 2011
12:43 pm
Booo!: "I think a lot of people are underestimating the impact that Josh had on Hedo Turkoglu."
A case can be made that if Josh was in the game when Orlando answered every basket that the Hawks made (including "big-shot" Marvin), the game would have been won easier with Josh better help defense from those pick-on-roll plays.
Take it to the bank, the Bulls is watching the Hawks replays and will explicit their weaknesses
April 29th, 2011
12:46 pm
Please do not start Marvin Williams. Replace Collins with Za Za in the starting lineup. Jeff Teague, Jamal Crawford, and Marvin Williams
April 29th, 2011
12:50 pm
The Truth- every team watches tape on the other to find ways to exploit their weaknesses. This is not a revealing observation.
April 29th, 2011
12:55 pm
I would like to submit the idea that we should continue with Collins/Horford front line to start with. Let Collins bang Boozer (who looks tough but is very susceptible to physical pounding) and we all know Al has Noah's number. You then keep Josh on the wing to defend Deng. This plan only works if the Hawks control tempo, if Bulls get out running we would have to change the game plan.
If Hinrich can't go, you still don't start Jamaal. You go Teague, but switch Joe to Rose on defense.
April 29th, 2011
12:58 pm
maintaining a bench of Za/JC/MW gives us an advantage there.
Wilkins will need to play this series in spots. Let him chase Rose around and bang him some to wear him down.
April 29th, 2011
1:04 pm
North use, I too say JC is gone but for a reason other than just cash. That nasty lawsuit with a landlord sure doesn't help matters, and I think he goes and gets a more worthy contract than what Sund will offer. But thats for another day.
Now, onto Chicago…..a big chance to make yourself creditable in the league. LD now has to create a game plan to stop a top PG and a sharpshooter in Deng. Those 2 are assassins. Marvin will get his shot, but I don't see him matching skillsets with Deng. He will be back starting again though.
Then LD must punish the SGs of the Bulls and use our strengths to get points at the line.
I really think we have strengths the Bulls don't and they have Rose….this will be an interesting series, especially since CHI hasn't been in this position before.
Again, the Hawks have to steal a game early to have a shot, else it's a quick exit.
April 29th, 2011
1:04 pm
I think Jamal is gone as well. I just cant imagine spending big money (more than the MLE) for a 31 yr old SG after spending big money on a 29 yr old SG.
So you think Marvin will be our 6th man next year. If that is the case, who starts at Center? ZaZa? Personally, I don't like Josh starting at SF. Al needs to bulk up, change his mindset, and he committed to starting 70 games at Center next season.
April 29th, 2011
1:13 pm
For the Hawks to have a chance, LD needs to reduce the amount of time Jamal spends guarding Rose. According to NBA.com statscube;
Jamal's stats per 36 minutes with Rose on the court?
12 pts, 40% shooting (29% from 3), 1 FTA, 4 assists, -8 rating.
Rose's stats per 36 minute with Jamal on the court?
26 pts, 32% FG, 9 FTA, 10 assists, +8 rating.
I know Jamal does not spend the entire time guarding Rose, but LD has given him that job before. And Jamal sucked at it.
April 29th, 2011
1:17 pm
northcyde: "So unless the ASG all of a sudden wants to pay the luxury tax,"
A strong-hole position that should loosen
Hawks owner Michael Gearon is already on record saying he would, given the right set of circumstances. They have shown willingness to staying true to their word when supporting their players, JJ, Al, Josh and Marvin are examples. Publicly they have stated they will pursue Jamal in the off-season. Jamal has proven to be too vital to the team success for not giving him strong consideration for his return. However, much will depend on the NBA negotiations with the PA. His salary demand might not be impossible to fit into the salary structure since their current total payroll is nearly 72M vs. next (without Jamal) is 64.2M. That 8M difference can be Jamal's money assuming they stay at the current levels.

Although Josh had a forgettable offensive performance this series well below his season average, his defense was outstanding. He absolutely locked Hedo down and made him vanish.
We will need that same effort on D next series agaisnt Deng.
Free Jeff Teague…
April 29th, 2011

if the hawks play with the heart and effort they played with against orlando in game 6 they will beat the bull in 6. but the question is which hawks team will so up??? the hungry team that plays with some much heart and effort like in orlando series game 6 or the team that often gives up when things dont go their way like in orlando game 5????
April 29th, 2011

Game 1 is a must win for the Hawks.80% of the time whoever wins game 1 wins a 7 game series since this format began…

Daniel your comment is amusing since you rarely post anymore. It's nice to see your sudden interest in the Hawks has reemerged. But your "grand-stand comment" is not needed to forge relevance. Apparently you missed my point. I won't bother to explain. You might miss it again.
April 29th, 2011
2:06 pm
@ The Truth
If they wouldn't go over the tax for a box office attraction and serviceable center like Shaq, I don't think they'll do it for Jamal . . unless we go deep into the playoffs. Like Game 6 or 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals deep . . with Jamal playing extremely well.
I don't trust 90% of the things the ASG say. I think Gearon said that he'd go over the tax for a superstar. So unless people start going to Philips specifically to go see Jamal, I don't think they'll do it.
Attendance dropped by 35,000 this year ( roughly 430 people per game ). If the average ticket price to Hawk games runs somwhere around $55, then the ASG lost $23,650 a game. Over the season, that translates in a 1.94 million dollar loss this year . . just at the gate. No telling how much money they lost in other areas.
April 29th, 2011
2:11 pm
I really think Marvin is going to play a key role in this series with the Bulls. We all know Joe, Jamall, and Al have to perform. We need one more player to rise up. I think it can be Marvin.
He was good in games 3 and 4 against the Magic. Last night, in Game 6, he was HUGE! He's been playing good defense and hitting most of his open looks ( I still do not know how the 3 he shot, with the Hawks up 5 late, did not go in). Marvin can do it. He's always had all the tools. Maybe this is the playoff run where he really earns his keep.
April 29th, 2011
2:17 pm
LD will lose the Bulls series when he goes back to starting the regular lineup which is just horrible.
PG Hinrich-Not what the Hawks need longterm and does not get others involved but plays good D most of the time.
SG Joe-Good all around player and best closer on team.
SF- Marvin-Maybe the worse starter in the league. Can not create his own shot, overrated defensively, and can not even make open shots consistently. Does nothing well consistently.
PF-Josh-Totally inconsistent at doing anything positive, consistently struggles to take good shots. Athletic ability looks to be fading this year.
C- Al- Not a C, does not defend the rim or play rough enough to be a C in the NBA.
That starting lineup is just overly flawed. Joe and Al are the only 2 guys that I would want starting on my team and Al would be at PF.
April 29th, 2011
2:19 pm
I am eating crow today and happy to do it. I never thought the Hawks could win this series. One thing Northcyde is JJ will not be on Rose. That would be the mismatch of the year. Not quick enuf(though who is?)
April 29th, 2011
2:19 pm
As I posted before the playoffs started we can make it all the way to the finals and I would not be impressed. The facts are as follows:
The Magic have messed there team up worse than we have.
The Bulls have not proven to be a playoff success.
The Celtics are old and unathletic.
If we get those 3 teams we can go to the Finals.
April 29th, 2011
2:29 pm
I dont like how LD handled Teague this season but if he has to play big minutes then he has to step up. This is his chance so he has to make the most of it. I wonder if he struggles early what will LD do. I hope the kid steps up. Marvin had trouble defending Deng in the regular season so putting Josh on him might be the move….@northcyde it might be a good idea to let Joe defend Rose late so he has more energy. I dont want Joe defending Rose the whole game.
April 29th, 2011
2:30 pm
AMAZING!!! 2 days ago, most of yall were rippin' the hawks, leavin' them for dead…now the same ones are sayin' how they previously predicted the hawks would win the series. lol.
hawks will win the chicago series in 6 games. we will win all 3 here and steal the first game.
April 29th, 2011
2:34 pm
@northcyde: in addition to Kelenna and J.R. as potential MLE-or-under 2 guards, if I am not mistaken DeShawn Stevenson will also be a free agent. Also what do you think about the prospects for a potential trade for OJ Mayo? The Hawks could offer Marvin or Zaza for Mayo. I don't know if Memphis would go for that, and to be honest, I am not sure the Hawks should go for that either. It's probably not smart to give up Zaza without an even better big man, and while I wouldn't mind giving up Marvin for Mayo, depending on the other moves the Hawks are able to make, it might not make the Hawks better because it may end up leaving the Hawks with another even large hole.
Perhaps if the ASG really thinks the Hawks are (near) elite, they will be willing to go a little over the salary cap to get the Hawks that fabled "missing piece." I know — wishful thinking.
April 29th, 2011
2:36 pm
Hollywould . . we may not have a choice. JJ guarding Rose would mean that JJ prevents him from getting into the lane and forcing him to shoot jumpers. Defense isn't just about how quick you are, it's about how smart you are. Whomever is guarding Rose needs to watch a lot of tape on that dude, and see what his tendencies are.
And with no Hinrich ( or at least a slowed down version of Hinrich ), that's one less player that we can throw out to guard Rose. JJ, just like he had to do in the past with guys like Jameer Nelson, Deron Williams, and Steph Curry, will have to take his turn guarding Rose. Overall, he's our best perimeter defender, even if he doesn't have the foot speed to guard Rose. Hopefully the fact that he's much bigger than Rose can disrupt him a little bit, especially toward the end of games, when JJ will probably definitely be guarding him.
April 29th, 2011
2:40 pm
northcyde: "If they wouldn't go over the tax for a box office attraction and serviceable center like Shaq"
Actually, in retrospect, I'm glad they didn't given Shaq evolving injuries. I'm not able to assess the financial losses of the Hawks with respect to this season since ticket sells are only one part of the equation.
"I don't trust 90% of the things the ASG say"
I can relate to this position, but after Sund unexpected addition of 1M in new salary when they acquired Hinrich, I gave up predicted what this organization will or won't when it comes to players acquisition. Given the upcoming uncertainty of the contract talks between the NBA and players, any theory (at this point) is likely a good one.

7 places that tempt me to spend
Bookstores, Williams-Sonoma are among them
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
I'm often tempted to spend money that I shouldn't.
I'm good at restraining my impulsive nature. I don't simply go into stores and then emerge later with a hefty bag, a credit card bill, and a dazed look on my face. Still, in certain places, I am strongly tempted to spend. I look around and see tons of items that I'd like to have.
Here are seven places that really fuel my spending desires.
Bookstores. What can I say? I love to read. I read about 10 books a month for my own enjoyment and probably five more for The Simple Dollar and other professional purposes. The smell and feel and sight of a new book are like manna to me. I usually resist most of my impulses by arguing to myself that I can get those books at the library or at PaperBackSwap, but it's definitely a struggle -- one I don't always win.
Williams-Sonoma. As I get more and more adept in the kitchen, I'm slowly upgrading my kitchen equipment to superior versions of the cheap (and sometimes problematic) equipment I have on hand. Williams-Sonoma does an extremely good job of convincing me to accelerate this upgrade process, enticing me with better knives, a wide array of very nice pots and pans, and lots of other items.
Wineries. If I stop at a winery and enjoy a tasting, I usually wind up buying at least a bottle. There's something about the atmosphere of a winery that gets me into the right mindset, and adding to that the fact that I truly enjoy a glass of a distinctive wine, it's unsurprising that I often leave wineries with a bottle or two in my bag.
Food co-ops. Stores that put obvious care into their food selection often entice me to be much more willing to buy foods impulsively. At regular grocery stores, I usually avoid impulse food purchases by knowing that the item is usually going to be full of ingredients I shouldn't be eating or won't taste all that good. At a food co-op, that's often not the case at all -- and thus I'll find myself picking up items like feta made from sheep's milk.
Gaming shops. I love playing games against family and friends, and gaming shops tend to bring out my strongest tendencies. I particularly like board games, and if I witness a game demonstration and the game seems fun at all, I'll often be very tempted to talk myself into buying it.
Art supply stores. My biggest weaknesses in art supply stores usually come down to notebooks/sketch books and writing implements. I can easily fill up notebooks with jotted notes, quotes, ideas, and other things, and the feel of a good pen in my hand is almost intoxicating and actually does a good job of fueling my writing tendencies.
The Apple Store. I usually don't buy anything at Apple Stores. Instead, they do a great job of convincing me to save up and spend much more than I should to buy a MacBook Pro or a new desktop machine or an iPod Touch. Apple puts a lot of care into the little details of their devices and, after spending a lot of time using them, I've come to really miss them when I use other devices.
There, my confessions. Putting them all down on paper like that is fairly refreshing for me, as it helps me to realize that I use quite a few different techniques to minimize the temptation to spend in those places. I've mentioned some of those tactics before in other articles, of course, but here are eight different tactics I use to minimize the negative influence these tempting places have on my wallet.
Avoid them entirely. The easiest way not to be tempted is to simply not visit these stores at all. This works to a certain extent. For years, I had a routine of going to a bookstore each Tuesday (to check out the new releases) and each Friday (to "celebrate" the end of a workweek). This routine usually meant that I would wind up buying a book or two at each visit, which could easily add up to $40 a week.
By simply breaking that routine, I saw a tremendous amount of financial benefit -- as much as $2,000 per year. While I still visit bookstores on occasion, they're no longer part of a routine. This makes the individual visits much more enjoyable because they're infrequent and not based on any sort of schedule.
Take notes. If you visit a store, fall in love with lots of items, and are tempted to buy, stop. Pull out a notepad and write down all of the things that are tempting you. List the books, food ideas, clothing, games, or other items that are really intriguing you.
This serves two purposes. First, you can take the list home, do further research on the item(s) and do some comparison shopping. Second, it allows you to utilize the "30-day rule," where you agree not to buy the item for 30 days and then re-evaluate at the end of the period whether you actually want the item.
Go with only cash. If you visit a place with such obvious temptations, leave your wallet behind. Just take in a small amount of cash, whatever you're completely comfortable with spending there and won't feel guilty about afterward. So, if you're going to a bookstore, take a $20 bill. This allows you to splurge a little, but prevents you from spending more than you should.
The real key here is to not bring in plastic, which effectively gives you access to far more money that you might otherwise have. Without strong willpower, credit cards can be a real danger, so it's good to avoid them until you do have the personal fortitude to avoid over-the-top spending with them.
Go with the right kind of friend. Some friends encourage you to spend. They talk up the items they see, compliment you on your choices and taste, and encourage you to splurge a little. Those kinds of friends will almost always cause you to have a bigger bill than you want.
I prefer shopping with either my wife or my closest friend, John. Neither one of them encourages me to spend more than I should. My wife usually makes no comment whatsoever if I choose to make a purchase. John usually just criticizes items in a humorous way, making them seem less appealing while also being entertaining. The end result? I buy less than I would if I were there with a heavy-spending friend.
Set an explicit budget. Each month, I allot myself a certain amount of money to spend on whatever I wish. Because I plan for it, I can spend that money without guilt, and the money is often spent at the places I described above. If I'm at Williams-Sonoma and see an item that costs two or three months' worth of free money, I'm patient. I'll wait two months without spending much mad money, then pick up that item without any guilt at all.
This is perhaps my most-used technique, and my wife uses it as well.
Use the 10-second rule. Sometimes, on a whim, you'll pick up an item and make a split-second decision to buy it. As you head to the cashier, stop for 10 seconds and ask yourself if you really need this item after all, or if you couldn't get a better deal on it elsewhere.
For me, this works quite well to at least slow impulse buys. I'll usually put the item back and add it to my list (see the earlier tip). It doesn't necessarily mean that I won't end up with the item in the future, but it will be bought with a rational, not an impulsive, mind.
Never go without a purpose. And, no, social engagements aren't a purpose.
Why are you shopping? If you're doing it just to spend time with a friend, your wallet will thank you if you find something else to do. Why not go through the stuff you already have? Why not spend time in a public place that's not designed to convince you to spend money?
If you actually do go shopping somewhere, particularly in places that you know tempt you to spend money, make sure you're going with a specific purpose. There's a book you want to pick up. There's a French oven you want to look at. You have some technical questions about your MacBook. You get the idea.
Find a substitute. Remember above, when I mentioned that I'd buy three or four books a week at the bookstore? Sure, I did read most of those books, but very rarely more than once. So, why not use the library?
Most of the big temptations above have great substitutes. Instead of going to game stores (usually to talk and browse games), I visit a few community gaming Web sites to get most of the same effect. Instead of hitting food stores, I use farmers markets for the same effect. This helps me stay away from many of my worst temptations.
What places tempt you the most? And what techniques do you use to control your spending there?

America's (Amazingly) Good Energy News
NRDC's First Annual Energy & Environment Report
For decades, America's energy news trended from bad to worse, beginning with the oil crises of the 1970s. However, NRDC recently conducted an exhaustive analysis that found a remarkable turnaround. Based on key economic, security, and environmental indicators, the state of the U.S. energy economy has never been better. And in an era of escalating Mideast turmoil and gyrating oil prices, this accumulated resilience could hardly be more timely.
Extensive new government data reviewed by NRDC shows much of the credit can be given to a huge and inexpensive energy resource that deserves far more attention: energy efficiency. In fact, over the past 40 years Americans have found so many innovative ways to save energy that we have more than doubled the economic productivity of the oil that runs our vehicles and the natural gas and electricity that runs almost everything else. Factories and businesses are producing substantially more products and value with less energy.
As a result, across the United States:
- Total energy used per dollar of goods produced is down;
- Gasoline per mile driven is down;
- And the cost of energy services (from lighting to refrigeration) is down.
Because increasing efficiency is far less costly than adding other energy resources like fossil fuels, this is saving the nation hundreds of billions of dollars annually, helping U.S. workers and companies compete worldwide, and making our country more energy-secure.
Most importantly, positive energy trends are substantially reducing our national carbon footprint, putting the United States on track to meet President Obama's target of a 17 percent emissions reduction by 2020 (relative to 2005). However, these trends must continue and accelerate to offset the most damaging effects of climate change. We should build on America's positive energy trends, and give priority to efficiency improvements that cost far less than the energy they displace.

Source: DMI news release
ORLANDO, Fla. – The dairy checkoff gives producers a voice in the marketing chain after milk leaves their farms, and that helps grow sales, said Tom Gallagher, CEO of Dairy Management Inc., which manages the national dairy checkoff program.
While brands are focused on market share, producers need growth in all dairy product categories, Gallagher said during the UDIA/NDB/NMPF annual meeting in Orlando, Fla.
"The checkoff is the producer's voice to grow categories and increase sales," Gallagher said.
Among the checkoff's priorities, Gallagher said, is to work with partners such as McDonald's, Domino's and Quaker, and encourage them "to do something they wouldn't do otherwise, or to do it faster, to meet consumer demand and grow sales for everybody."
As an example, Gallagher cited the transformation and regeneration of the pizza category. The dairy checkoff has worked with Domino's and others to improve quality and place more cheese on pizzas. Checkoff partnerships with Domino's and others have moved more than 6 billion additional pounds of milk the last three years. The checkoff also is growing sales of U.S. cheese in the Pacific Rim.
Another example is stimulating formulation of dairy products in quick-serve restaurants. "The work with McDonalds has moved more than 2 billion additional pounds of milk over the last three years," Gallagher said. "It also has stimulated others in the category to follow McDonald's lead in dairy innovation."
A new partnership with Quaker will explore other opportunities. Quaker has committed to building consumer awareness of preparing oatmeal with milk instead of water.
Gallagher said 9 billion servings of oatmeal are prepared annually but less than 30 percent of those are made with milk.
"Each one percent increase would mean an additional 30 million pounds of milk sold," he said.
All told, DMI's partnership strategy combines $200 million of checkoff investment with nearly three times that amount of "other peoples' money" to help drive dairy sales.

Two people are hospitalized after an accident Saturday afternoon which involved a part that broke off of a trailer and crashed through the windshield of another vehicle.
The accident happened on the eastbound lanes of interstate 20 near mile marker 538.
Authorities tell KLTV that one vehicle was towing a trailer and that the brake drum broke off of that trailer. The broken part then crashed through the front windshield of another vehicle. Two people in the second vehicle were care-flighted to a hospital with serious injuries, but their exact condition is not known. Their names have not yet been released.
The accident was cleared a short time later.

Will Fleet, who served as publisher of the McClatchy Co.-owned newspaper for four years, announced his resignation Tuesday, Oct. 23. His last day is Oct. 31.
Ralph Alldredge, publisher of the San Andreas-based Calaveras Enterprise, has previously been named as a partner in the sale.
Fleet identified himself to the Tracy Press on Oct. 15 but requested that no news of his departure be released until he formally resigned from the Bee.
The final steps of the sale by members of the Matthews family — which has owned the Press since 1943 — could be officially completed in as little as 10 days. The sale will include the Tracy Press, the Patterson Irrigator and the Scotts Valley Banner.
Chief Judge Christopher M. Klein approved the pair's purchase bid in U.S. Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of California in Sacramento on Oct. 10.
While the Press and the Banner have been under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since July 2010, Patterson Irrigator LLC remains solvent.
The Press filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2010. The Press was first printed April 2, 1898.
Robert Matthews serves as the Press' present publisher. Alldredge and Fleet are expected to serve as co-publishers of all three papers.
Each man has previously served a one-year term as president of the California Newspaper Publishers Association.

TORONTO - The Raptors have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with free agent forward Austin Daye, a source confirmed to TSN.ca Tuesday evening.
Daye, 25, will be signed at or near the league minimum and the second year of his contract will not be guaranteed.
Acquired by Memphis in the deal that sent Rudy Gay to Toronto at the end of January, the 6-foot-11 forward averaged 4.0 points and 1.9 rebounds in 31 contests with the Grizzlies after spending his first three-plus NBA seasons with the Pistons. Detroit selected Daye with the 15th overall pick out of Gonzaga in 2009. He has averaged 5.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in four seasons.
A versatile forward who has had success as a three-point shooter off the bench in Detroit, Daye will give the Raptors added depth behind Gay and DeMar DeRozan on the wing. He will also have to contend with Landry Fields, sophomore Terrence Ross and the newly acquired Steve Novak as a reserve for Toronto.
First reported by Yahoo Sports, the signing of Daye will cap the Raptors' roster at 15. The recently acquired Quentin Richardson is still under contract but will not play for Toronto as the team continues to weigh its options before parting ways with the veteran forward. The Raptors prefer to include Richardson in a trade but no deal is immediately imminent.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

8. Nik Stauskas - Kings

45. Dwight Powell - Hornets

Black Bean Chicken
By Colleen Frampton
Healthy and yummy black beans with a sweet tangy sauce over chicken or served vegan over rice.
6 cups dry black bean (washed)
6 cups water
1 cup Crown Maple Syrup
1 large onion (diced)
1 bell pepper (diced)
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp salt (to taste)
3 Tbsp pepper (to taste)
32 oz can tomato puree
16 oz can diced grilled tomatoes
4Tbsp garlic powder
1 diced fresh hot pepper (your choice)
4 large chicken breasts
1. In a large stock pot, pour in water, salt, pepper, onion and garlic and bring to a boil. After washing, add the black beans to the pot and leave the lid off. Cut heat back but maintain a low rolling boil.
2. Add onion, bell pepper, Crown Maple Syrup, brown sugar and hot pepper (if you choose). Continue to cook it down stirring occasionally until the beans are done and the dish thickens. (About 2 to 3 hours -- the longer it cooks, the thicker it gets.)
3. Bake or grill the chicken breasts.
4. Serve with rice and a green such as kale and ladle the beans over everything.

Dacia Radar Detectors
"I recently purchased the above radar detector and am thoroughly enjoying it. I find that it is very sensitive to picking up the police radar bands in my area and gives me plenty of notice to slow down if I find myself going a little over the speed limit. I would recommend this radar detector to anyone who is looking for a quality unit."
"The cord arrived just in time for me to use the unit on my motorcycle. It performed perfectly, saving my butt when it needed saving."
Posted by William J.
"I bought Coiled SmartCord to replace the original power cord for a Beltronics radar detector. I have had it over 2 months and have used it every day since purchase. It does not overheat and does the simple job for which I bought it. Nice replacement."
Posted by Joseoh T R.
"I would like to say that the Shifter ZR4 is easy to install; nice product; I would recommend to everyone. Thanks, CARiD, for the great service, making this purchase happen so smoothly!"
Posted by Mark M.
"Love my Beltronics radar detector! I use it in my Escalade. Excellent detection. I like the voice notice and that the warning beeps fade after the first alert. I 100% recommend this product."

The Official website of Strafford County New Hampshire
Watson Road will be closed
Effective September 29
Weekdays between
7:00 Am and 5:00 PM
Until Further Notice
It is with great pleasure we welcome you to the new Strafford County website. Whether you are a current, past, or prospective resident, we hope you enjoy your visit to our virtual home.
Cited as one of the original five New Hampshire counties in 1769, Strafford County was organized at Dover in 1771 and named after William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford, in the belief that William was a direct ancestor of New Hampshire Governor John Wentworth. However, though the two men were in fact distant relatives, William Wentworth himself never had any children.
Bordering York County in Maine, as well as the counties of Belknap, Carroll, Merrimack, and Rockingham here in New Hampshire, Strafford County is divided into three cities and ten towns, and is home to approximately 125,000 citizens.
Our county boasts a number of locations listed in the National Register of Historic Places, among them the Public Market, the remains of the County Farm Bridge, and the New Durham Town Hall. Perhaps most well known is our National Historic Landmark in Durham, the house of Revolutionary War General John Sullivan.
We look forward to seeing you in our towns and cities, and we're glad to "see" you here on the web!
Very Truly Yours,
Strafford County Commissioners
George Maglaras, Chairman
Robert J. Watson, Vice Chairman
Leo E. Lessard, Clerk

Science is developing the tools towards de-extinction of species on the planet that have become extinct. The question becomes; Should we?
Stewart Brand and his colleagues are at the biotech precipice of reviving extinct species. The Revive and Restore project plans to not only bring species back but restore them to the wild, as well as protect currently endangered species.
I don't think any of us will have a problem with the latter, this discussion is focused on the primary goal; reintroduction of extinct species. We are not talking about dinosaurs here, but the Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, Heath Hen, European Aurochs, Bucardo, The Taz Tiger, etc.
Up for debate here: Should we?
Where we can all appreciate the science being developed, we must discuss the implications of initiating projects like this. I submit we need to discuss this on behalf of the existing species that we have, as well as for the animals that are lost.
Some questions to consider:
Do we value the argument that we should 'undo the harm' that humans have caused in the past, due to over-hunting or destruction of habitat? Should we rewrite or undo history?
Many of these species have not been in the natural environment for 100 years. It is fair to say that the natural predators or prey of these species, the plants or insect life they feed on, the environments they roam through ... have altered in their absence. Has the cycle of the earth, moved on without them?
We have a long history of experiencing what can happen when biodiversity is altered by introducing a species not indigenous to the area in question. Cane Toads in Australia, Grey Squirrel in Europe or the Gypsy Moth.
Is this project actually an introduction of a species back into an environment that may not be able to sustain it as it once did?
Even though we can grieve the lost of the Dodo, should we bring it back at all costs?
Or as Daniel Chan asks below;
how can we effectively simulate the effects of introducing pre-existing species to the environment before actually doing so?
What other Questions should we ask?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 18 2013: Since the beginning of our existence as a species, proto-humans and humans have been concerned with killing huge numbers of animals of many types for food and, more recently, for pleasure. It only seems appropriate that now we are developing the technology to undo the vast amount of damage that we and our long line of ancestors did. In the past several millennia human population has grown, in my opinion, totally out of control causing vast damage to habitats and to the populations of the other species on the planet. It is time for a wakeup call by which we must realize the planet's biosphere must be shared with others for the heath and safety of all beings whatever their niche. De-extinctions should become a major environmental priority across the globe.
As with all human activities, there will be mistakes, dumb errors, and even misuses, yet the net result of revitalizing and re-diversifying the world's biomes seems to me to be one of the most positive and productive humanity can engage in.

The man who co-wrote the massive 1979 hit "Good Times" received some very good news this week.
Nile Rodgers
, leader of
and producer and co-writer of smash hits like
Diana Ross
' "I'm Coming Out" and
's "Like a Virgin," has announced that he is cancer-free. He has been battling prostate cancer since late 2010 and in fact wrote about getting the news at the end of his autobiography,
Le Freak
Now, the 60-year-old Rodgers has taken to Twitter to announce that he is currently clear of cancer. He tweeted, "Whoa, I just got home from the doctor. He gave me [a] video of him going down inside my body… Instead of showing gross internal video, I'll show my doctor's examination room. I'M ALL CLEAR AGAIN!" Good times indeed.

Atomic Bombshell
New research uncovers a link between Freud's inner circle and the Soviet atomic bomb
This new and moving human aspect of the affair helped to stir the interest of Glenda Abramson, the Oxford professor who edits Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, when we submitted an essay on our preliminary findings. As scholarly journal publications take time "in the pipeline," and we were now consumed in further exploring the story, the present article is a progress report on our research—and we hope readers will forgive the almost forensic detail that has become our stock in trade.
Some of the new evidence we have found is directly connected with our reassessment of the "espionage" debate. One example is the prominence of figures connected with the psychoanalytic movement in the Soviet establishment during the peak years of Max's activity in Berlin. We knew that Soviet Russia's first envoy to Germany, Adolf Yoffe, was a patient and student of Alfred Adler while the latter was still a member of Freud's circle. His successor, Viktor Kopp, was the vice-president of the Soviet Psychoanalytic Association (which enjoyed official aegis as long as their mentor, Freud's admirer Trotsky, was in power). Our hypothesis that these professional acquaintances provided Max—and the Eitingons' family enterprise—with a direct link to Moscow has now been borne out, offering a fascinating window into the links between two revolutionary movements of the 1920s—Soviet communism and psychoanalysis.
The former commissar for finances of the short-lived Hungarian Soviet republic, Jenö Varga, was an early supporter, then a member, of the Hungarian Psychoanalytic Association. After the defeat of the Hungarian revolution, Varga was interned in Austria, and upon his release he attended seminars in Freud's Vienna residence before being transferred to Russia. In 1923, after being posted to the Russian commercial mission in Berlin, he resumed his connection with Freud's circle via Eitingon's Institute. Freud's Secret Committee was soon notified (in a document recently published by the Freudian scholar Christfried Tögel) that Varga would "enable correspondence with Moscow by courier," a connection that was then next to impossible by other means. It might be argued that this link was used for psychoanalytic business alone; we doubt it.
A lot of what we've discovered rounds out the Eitingons' characters and their place at center stage of cultural as well as political history, ostensibly apart from the issue of Soviet intelligence. But more often than not, their double lives are intertwined. Take, for instance, Mirra's first marriage. We originally knew about it only from the 1943 Yiddish memoirs of the author and playwright Osip Dymov, who launched Mirra's stage career. An affair between them was widely rumored and became a scandal in 1907 St. Petersburg when her second husband, Boris Khariton, fired four pistol rounds at Dymov (though a distinguished journalist, Khariton was not a marksman: He missed all four times). The incident provided the plot for Dymov's best-known play, Nju, and later a major silent film. Describing it, he wrote that "the young lady who played such a serious role in my destiny" had, before wedding Khariton, fled a marriage to a scion of the Brodsky dynasty—the sugar magnates of imperial Russia—to whom she had borne a son. But Dymov didn't actually name Mirra (to protect her reputation, as he explained), and there was no other evidence of this marriage and child.
So, imagine our delight when a few weeks ago we found conclusive proof that this child, Viktor Brodsky, was a high-school student in Baku in 1913 and in affectionate contact with his mother, who was by then already in Berlin. Freud heard at some point that Mirra had had two children, the first of whom was killed by the Bolsheviks. But Freud also heard that her second son, whom we now know was Yuli Khariton, was "in Siberia," and untraceable—which was incorrect and possibly resulted from the Eitingon's own efforts to obscure their link.
We're now trying to establish Viktor's fate, which besides adding to the drama might have a lot to do with the espionage inquiry. Recently, we discovered that a Jewish "artist" named Viktor Brodsky, of the right age, who gave his birthplace as Yekaterinodar—Mirra's hometown—arrived at Ellis Island in 1923, with a group of defeated "white" Russians who had escaped to Constantinople. There were only a few hundred Jews in Yekaterinodar at the time, and for two to be born the same year with the same name seems highly unlikely. He then changed his surname to Piatakoff—the name of a prominent Bolshevik, and hardly a convenient name to assume at random when applying for naturalization, which he successfully did. Viktor Piatakoff, who described himself as a textile designer in New York, lived to age 92—just like his apparent half-brother Yuli Khariton. But that's all we've been able to find out about Viktor so far. If Tablet readers can help, we'll be much obliged.
Another facet that we have just begun to explore is the Eitingons' close friendship with Arnold Zweig, the German-Jewish writer who found refuge in Palestine but then returned to East Germany in 1949. Zweig, whose finances were precarious until he began to receive royalties from Moscow, often enjoyed the Eitingons' hospitality and published glowing eulogies of both of them. His last novel, set in the Middle East during World War II, Traum ist teuer ("dreaming is costly"—never translated into English), features a saintly psychiatrist, Manfred Jacobs, who is an obvious lionization of Max Eitingon, as well as a pampered Mrs. Jacobs who resembles the negative stereotype of Mirra.

10 Ways To Use Concrete In Your Home
In the past, the use of concrete was reserved for basements and old warehouses — but not any more. It can bring a bit of texture and ruggedness to a space, or likewise feel warm and comfortable. Check out a few ways to make the look work in your own home, no matter if you live in a loft or an old farmhouse.
1. Countertops: This tutorial from long time reader Splatgirl is still at the top of the list for making concrete countertops a reality. Her work is easy to understand and puts things in perspective for those who have never attempted, or even thought about, tackling something like this on their own.
2. In Accents: Concrete isn't terribly tricky to cast and this quick tutorial is a good one when it comes to making something simple from the substance like a wall hook. You can purchase mold making supplies at your local craft stores in a kit to make your own hardware or concrete accessories.
3. Wall Treatment: If you're wanting to give your walls a more rugged and industrial look, check out this tutorial to see how to make it happen. It would be perfect in a home gym or even a kitchen backsplash for an extra funky look!
4. Paint It: Many homes have unfinished basement floors and although they can seem a little blah, a bit of paint can warm them right up. This is an easy tutorial to teach you how. What once was grey and cold is now light and bright!
5. Sinks: Cold concrete and cool water seem to go hand in hand as we've seen more sinks appearing on the market that make this pairing happen. Here are a few favorites; though you could use the same tutorial for countertops mentioned above to make your own (with the right form).
6. Privacy Screens: Even if you're not a fan of mid century styling, there's no denying the beauty in a repeated pattern. In many cases concrete blocks give us this look and more companies are starting to bring back the classics. Here's a bit of inspiration for your own home!
7. Fireplaces: A concrete fireplace can take on almost any feel. They can be vintage or modern alike, but no matter what your tastes, there's sure to be one for you. They create a blank slate and leave your fireplace feeling uncluttered and calming.
8. Furniture: We promise they're more comfortable than you think! Here's a few designs from Eric Billig and Holmes Wilson.
9. DIY Outdoor Furniture: Ever wanted to have a permanent place to play checkers outside in the morning sun? These chairs and table sets are handmade and easy enough to make at home!
10. Fake It: Even if you don't have concrete floors or care to mess with the sloppy mess that can be associated with projects of this sort, this is a simple way to get the look without all the hassle. Make sure to check out this paint technique that would work on sub floors for a temporary fit or even something more permanent.

Just make sure if you're doing concrete countertops that you or your contractor really know what you're doing. We have concrete countertops in our rental. Our landlord told us to use Minwax Paste Wax to keep them nicely finished. However, you can't get them wet, or the protective coating bubbles off. Washing dishes is impossible and guests' drinks make a mess. In my book countertops are for cooking, making messes, and are all about durability. Either have an awesome finish, be okay with the patina of use, or forgo concrete altogether!
I love concrete counters! And I really like the idea of a concrete screen like that, too!
We have concrete counters (that my husband, a builder, made) in our bathroom and plan to put them in the kitchen once we move. They definitely patina and will not look perfect! We love it that way.
If anything breakable touches your concrete countertop harder than a a kiss... Kiss it goodbye.
RE: comment by ibog......what's your point? ANY hard surface is unkind to breakables.
That said, I have concrete in my kitchen and I absolutely love the patina that it is developing. My contractor made the surfaces glass smooth and the character that the counter has taken over a year is absolutely beautiful!
A note to obsessives; if you can't stand the slightest sign of imperfection, I would recommend that you try some other surface as concrete is a natural substance like wood....it's the imperfections that make it beautiful.
Love concrete! Here in the Yucatan Peninsula, they do so much beautiful stuff with concrete, especially kitchens.
We LOVE concrete and have totally been considering DIYing some concrete countertops, but we DO have polished concrete floors in our home and we LOVE them!!! We can't wait to finish them through the rest of the house!!!
I am curious about what it's really like to live with concrete floors...strongly considering it for my second home.
