As former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's ex-Chief of Staff continued testifying Thursday in Blagojevich's retrial, testimony and evidence focused on the alleged senate seat shakedown and the alleged race track shakedown.
Complete Rod Blagojevich Trial Coverage >>
Key Points :
UPDATE: 2:22 p.m.
Prosecution asked Harris about who Cheryle Jackson is, and why Blagojevich didn't want to consider her for the Senate seat.
Harris testified that she is an African American woman who is a former Blagojevich communication director. He said Blagojevich was mad at her, saying she bounced a campaign check to him and hand not "made it good."
Prior to the Dec. 4, 2008 phone call , Harris testified he was not aware that Blagojevich was going to reconsider Jackson Jr. for the Senate seat and that Harris was unaware of the $1.5 million in campaign contributions Jackson Jr.'s people were offering in exchange for the Senate seat.
Harris testified Blagojevich wanted him to make a call to Rahm Emanuel to find out if Jackson Jr. was still acceptable to President-elect Obama to be appointed to the Senate seat.
The prosecution finished questioning Harris.
Judge Zagel sent the jury out of the courtroom and called the counsel up to the bench.
Blagojevich defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky asked the court to recess until Monday because Aaron Goldstein – the attorney who was slated to cross-examine Harris – went home sick.
The judge asked the prosecution if it had any other testimony for now, and they said they did not..
Judge Zagel said he will tell the jury that Goldstein went home sick, and will let them go home early.
Since there is no court on Fridays, court is done for the week, and will be back in session Monday at 9:30 am.
UPDATE: 2:14 p.m.
Court is back in session after a lunch break.
The prosecution resumes questioning Harris about a call at 11:23 a.m. on Dec. 4, 2008 .
In the call, Harris says Blagojevich explained to him why Blagojevich is reconsidering Jesse Jackson Jr. for the Senate seat. Blagojevich talked about needing a back-up plan if appointing Lisa Madigan doesn't work out.
Harris testified that Blagojevich said it was a mistake to not consider Jackson Jr. earlier, calling it a tactical mistake.
In the call, Harris says Blagojevich had already taken steps to make Jackson Jr. the appointee by setting up a meeting for Monday. Harris says he didn't know about this until now.
Harris testified Blagojevich didn't like Jackson Jr. because he pulled his support for Blagojevich in his re-election campaign and endorsed Roland Burris instead of Blagojevich at his father's behest.
In the call, Blagojevich says Jackson Jr.'s people have offered him $1.5 million in exchange for appointing him to the Senate seat. Harris says he didn't know about this prior to this phone call.
Harris testified he had no knowledge of Blagojevich ever asking the Obama Administration for anything in exchange for Senate seat.
Harris testified that Blagojevich saw some political benefit to select Jackson Jr. for the seat, because it would help him among his black voter base.
UPDATE: 12:44 p.m.
After questioning Harris on the race track bill and money for the Cubs, the prosecution turned back to discussions of the senate seat. When it became clear in November that Jarrett wasn't interested in senate seat, Harris testified Blagojevich wanted to search for different names to appoint. Harris testified Blagojevich maintained control over this search.
Harris testified he and Blagojevich discussed Jesse Jackson Jr. as a possible appointment, and though Blagojevich rejected it at first, he later indicated he was considering Jackson Jr. after all.
The prosecution played a recorded conversation from 11:23 a.m. on Dec. 4, 2008 . In the call, Blagojevich tells Harris he thinks he dismissed Jackson too early and that he might consider him as a fall back if he's prepared to put Lisa Madigan in the Senate.
Blagojevich tells Harris he's been approached by third parties with offers of campaign contributions and help around $1.5 million.
Blagojevich and Harris talk about how to explain to Tom Balanoff that they decided to go with Jackson, and say he's a good pick for the black community, saying he's an "Uber-African American." Blagojevich dismisses other potential black candidates, including cursing about Cheryle Jackson and saying she bounced a check.
Harris and Blagojevich agree Jackson Jr. is a good pick and Blagojevich asks Harris to call Rahm Emanuel when they hang up.
Court then took a break for lunch.
UPDATE: 12:28 p.m.
Harris' testimony then turned to Blagojevich wanting to ingratiate himself to the Chicago Cubs and be friendly to them. Harris testified Blagojevich told him to get the Cubs anywhere from $1 million to $15 million in state funding.
The prosecution played a recorded conversation from 9:26 a.m. on Dec. 3, 2008 . In the call, Blagojevich tells Harris he spoke to Marc Ganis for some ideas about supporting the Cubs. Ganis was a sports facility consultant that worked with the Cubs.
Blagojevich wanted Harris to verify that the White Sox got $15 million from the Ill. Sports Authority and Blagojevich wanted to know about giving the Cubs a grant for environmental initiatives or technology, Harris testified.
Harris said he told Blagojevich the White Sox money was different because the state owns that ballpark.
The prosecution played a conversation between Blagojevich and Harris from 9:57 a.m. on Dec. 3, 2008 . In the call, Blagojevich tells Harris he spoke with Ganis and Crane Kenney and that Kenney thought the environmental or technological initiative idea was good.
In the call, Harris asks Blagojevich why he is fixated on $15 million, and Blagojevich replies it's because that's what the White Sox got. Harris tells him the White Sox are different, that the Cubs are a private, for-profit entity and he doesn't think they should give them money.
Blagojevich says Ganis told him $1.5 million was nothing, and he suggests the Cubs could match the grant as a "public-private thing."
Harris testified Blagojevich promised the money to the Cubs and they had to figure out a way to "back into," or justify, giving the state grant to the Cubs.
Harris testified Blagojevich told him to have a street named after Jim Hendry, the Cubs manager.
UPDATE: 12:08 p.m.
The prosecution played a recorded phone call from Nov. 26, 2008 at 12:53 p.m. In the call, Blagojevich asks if the government can pay for a Christmas party because he doesn't want the campaign paying for it. Harris asks Blagojevich if he talked to Lon Monk about the race track bill, and Blagojevich said he wants to sit on it until he sorts through other bills.
Harris testified he wasn't sure what else Blagojevich wanted to review and knew of no reason not to act on the bill.
Following the call, Harris testified he talked to Bill Quinlan about the bill not being signed and told Quinlan he was concerned Blagojevich may be holding it up to get more campaign contributions from the race track industry. He sais he wanted Quinlan to get Blagojevich to sign the bill on a trip they were about to go on.
The prosecution played a recording from 7:41 a.m. on Dec. 2, 2008 between Harris and Quinlan. In the call, Quinlan tells Harris he tried to push the bill on Blagojevich, but he held off. Harris asks why he won't sign it, and Quinlan tells Harris "let's just say, it is what you think."
The judge stopped the testimony briefly to explain what he meant by letting evidence be introduced to explain someone's state of mind.
The prosecution went back to questioning Harris about what he did after the phone call with Quinlan. Harris testified he decided not to take further action, viewing it as a matter between Blagojevich and Monk, and he thought they would work it out.
UPDATE: 11:42 a.m.
The prosecution turned their questioning of Harris to legislation that was pending in 2008 on the gaming and horse racing industry. Harris testified a bill that had been passed by the Illinois General Assembly was waiting for Blagojevich's signature. The race track bill would have directed casino money to subsidize horse racing tracks.
Harris testified he received calls from Lon Monk, Chris Kelly and State Rep. Jay Hoffman to see the bill signed sooner rather than later.
In the call from Monk, Harris testified, Monk asked if Blagojevich was ready to sign bill and if he could expedite it, because it was costing the horse track industry thousands of dollars a day. At the time, Monk was a lobbyist representing race track owner John Johnston.
When Kelly called, Harris testified, Kelly told Harris that he had interest in seeing "fast action" on the bill being signed.
After receiving the calls from Monk and Kelly, Harris said he spoke to the staff to see if the bill was ready to be signed and then talked to Blagojevich about it.
The prosecution entered into exhibits a chain of emails from Nov. 26, 2008 between Harris, Bill Quinlan, Bob Greenlee and Matthew Summy, who reviewed bills ready for Blagojevich's signature and prepared them.
In the email, Harris asks the three men if there was any reason they couldn't sign the bill that day. Greenlee replies it was ok from his end and he assumed Blagojevich was okay with it, Quinlan replied he need to check the rules language first, to make sure there no "posion pills" written in that would limit the Blagojevich administration's rule-making powers, Harris testified.
Harris replied that he needed an answer quickly because it was costing the industry tens of thousands a day, Harris testified.
Quinlan later replied the bill was okay to sign.
UPDATE: 11:05 a.m.
Harris testified that he met with Emil Jones on Nov. 12 in part because Blagojevich directed him to. Harris testified he told Jones that Blagojevich was thinking about appointing himself to the Senate but was also considering Jones.
Harris testified he did not talk to Jones about Blagojevich getting his campaign war chest in exchange for the Senate because he knew Blagojevich would be angry and would send him back or want to talk to Jones about it himself.
The prosecution played another call from Nov. 12, 2008, this one at 5:30 p.m. In the call between Blagojevich and Harris, Harris tells Blagojevich about how his conversation with Jones went. Harris tells Blagojevich he told Jones that Blagojevich thought Jones could be helpful in the Senate if Blagojevich was "stuck" back in Illinois.
Harris tells Blagojevich he also mentioned "this big bucket of money," asking if he was going to help like-minded candidates.
In the recording, Harris tells Blagojevich that Jones said he didn't want to serve in the Senate after the end of Obama's term in two years. Blagojevich says he doesn't like that.
Harris tells Blagojevich he told Jones not to tell anyone about their conversation, and asked Jones what how he thought Obama would like his appointment. Blagojevich marvels at his answer, that he doesn't think Obama will "go out of his way to stop it."
Harris tells Blagojevich he mentioned that with the ethics bill Jones passed, Blagojevich is going to need extra help from Washington to get things done, so he'd need a friend there. Harris tells Blagojevich he thinks Jones really wants the senate seat and that he could be helpful to Blagojevich.
At the end of the call, Harris tells Blagojevich he tried to leave Jones with the impression that he was on the top of Blagojevich's list, and reassures Blagojevich that Jones would not try to take the Blagojevich's power to appoint himself away.
Harris testified that he did not give an accurate account of the conversation to Blagojevich, lying that he talked to Jones about his campaign war chest. Instead, Harris testified, he focused only on how Blagojevich and Jones would remain strong allies.
UPDATE: 10:39 a.m.
The prosecution played a call from 10:32 a.m. on Nov. 12, 2008 that took place immediately after the call they played previously. In, Blagojevich speaks to Mary Stewart, a staff member, and tells her to get Tom Balanoff on the phone.
Harris testified he did not know Blagojevich would contact Balanoff when they got off the phone and that he thought they were going to think about it more.
The prosecution played another conversation from that afternoon, recorded at 12:36 p.m. Nov. 12, 2008 . In it, Blagojevich tells Harris that whatever decision they make has to be based on his legal situation, his personal situation and his political situation.
Blagojevich tells Harris that his legal situation, specifically the "Rezko thing," will be easier to deal with if he leaves Illinois.
Harris testified that Blagojevich was saying he would appoint himself to the Senate if the "Rezko thing" got worse because he felt the justice department would back off their investigation of Blagojevich if were more closely aligned in D.C.
Harris testified Blagojevich meant his family finances by "personal situation" and a job that would keep Blagojevich politically viable by his "political situation."
Although Blagojevich told him to meet with Jones, Harris testified, Jarrett was still his top choice.
UPDATE: 10:26 a.m.
The prosecution began playing a recorded phone call between Blagojevich and Fred Yang from 9:35 a.m. on Nov. 12, 2008 . In the call, Blagojevich and Yang discuss a report that Jarrett will be given a position at the White House and how they think it affects Blagojevich's chances of making a deal with the Obama administration.
Yang and Blagojevich discuss whether he still could be named Health and Human Services secretary and if they should create a 501 (c4) nonprofit organization for which they could ask for donations. Yang tells Blagojevich that he likes the idea of Blagojevich running the SEIU's Change to Win campaign more.
Harris testified that day, he received a call from Rahm Emanuel that Jarrett was taking a White House appointment and Obama had a list of candidates Blagojevich could consider for the Senate.
The prosecution then played a call from 10:26 a.m. the same day between Blagojevich and Harris .
In the call, Harris told Blagojevich about the call from Emanuel, and said in no particular order, the Obama administration recommended Jesse Jackson Jr., Jan Schakowsky, Tammy Duckworth, and Dan Hynes.
Harris tells Blagojevich in the call that it was "unspoken" that they don't want Emil Jones appointed, and that Emanuel said there was no one else authorized to have conversations with Blagojevich about the appointment, no matter what else has been said.
Harris and Blagojevich discuss what they think the call from Emanuel means in terms of future cabinet positions and say that Mayor Daley was pushing Jarrett.
Harris also says in the call that it seems the Obama administration was reducing the importance of the appointment with a list that contains "two whites, a black and an Asian," saying it was like the only thing didn't want was Jones.
Harris testified Blagojevich told him call Emanuel for help creating a nonprofit foundation, but Blagojevich agreed not to make the call until they thought about it more.
UPDATE: 9:59 a.m.
Court was called into session for the day. The prosecution began playing the Nov. 12 taped conversation between Harris and Blagojevich they left off on the day before, in which Blagojevich says it's very important to make a lot of money and that he needs it because of the "public vulnerability" his family is under due to the federal investigation. Blagojevich talks about how hard it is that he won't be able to send his kids to college because he has to pay for all these lawyers.
Harris testified that, in the recording, when Blagojevich asked Harris if he should make Jarrett senator without a promise from the Obama administration, Harris told Blagojevich that Jarrett could be a strong ally and help him be a more effective governor.
Harris testified Blagojevich didn't agree with him and that he wanted something that would meet his financial needs and get him out of the governorship.
UPDATE: 8:52 a.m.
Blagojevich left his house for court, driving a gray Nissan SUV.

"I like Ros."
I don't like every scene with her in it, but I do like the new character. In fact, I happen to like Ros a LOT more than Show!Shae. I can't stand what little we've seen of Show!Shae. I actually was kind of hoping Ros would follow Tyrion and take on the role of Shae, becoming the new Hand of the King's lover/whore/what-have-you. It would certainly have legitimized the attention given to her character in the early half of the season, and well, frankly, I just like her personality a lot more Show!Shae's or even Book!Shae's (not even taking into consideration all the junk that happens in A Storm of Swords, of course).
So, again, I like Ros. I thought the show's use of her and other women for sexposition (or exboobsition, if you prefer) was clunky and tiresome at times. Still, I hope this isn't the last we've seen of her. I hope the showrunners find new and more interesting ways to use Ros to advance the plot and further develop the main characters.
But haters gonna hate.

Hosting a Cookie Exchange
A Swap Meet of the Yummiest Kind
Admit it. There's nothing quite like those holiday baking commercials on TV. There's Mom, pretty in her clean apron with her makeup just right and her hair perfectly done; she's looking on as her sweet children joyfully help her bake platters of beautiful cookie after beautiful cookie. The kitchen looks warm and cozy, and honestly, can't you just smell those scrumptious treats coming out of the oven?
All right, let's face reality! Most of us can stay merry through the first few dozen cookies, but after that, mom is covered in flour, the kitchen should be declared a disaster area, and the "little helpers" have long since deserted the kitchen, taking lots of the goodies with them.
The holidays are a traditional time for baking and indulging in gingerbread, spritz, rosettes, and of course sugar cookies with sprinkles. We like having festive tins filled with treats for friends and unexpected guests that drop by. Yet with hectic schedules, it's not always easy to find the time and energy to bake as many cookies and as wide a variety of cookies as we'd like. That's when the cookie exchange becomes a really fun and useful event for moms – a time to socialize with friends and share the task of holiday baking.
- Coordinate your swap with friends, family, and coworkers. Each guest should bring a few dozen of her favorite holiday cookies; as hostess you may decide the amount and let your guests know how many they are expected to bring. If there are 10 of you, for example, and everyone brings five dozen cookies, all guests can leave with half a dozen of each type of cookie.
- Have the participants bring a few additional cookies to enjoy the day of the event. You may even want to turn the day into a potluck/cookie swap and have everyone bring a favorite dish to pass. Top if off with some tasty holiday beverages.
- Pick a date that will give each guest enough time to get a sitter and clear her holiday schedule. Hold your swap early in the season so people have a chance to use all their yummy cookies. Ask your participants to arrive at a specific time, and include an RSVP in your invitation so you can appropriately decide how many cookies will be divided.
- Include "cookie rules" in the invitation. All cookies should be homemade, easily transportable, and in the "holiday theme" – because after all, as much as we women love chocolate, those Toll House chocolate chip cookies just don't fit the "Christmas cookie" category.
- Keep a list of who is bringing what kind of cookie. It's no fun if three guests bring gingersnaps and will avoid embarrassment if one gingersnap cookie is noticeably superior to another.
- It's easy to get the cookies confused, so be sure to keep them separate. You might want to put a label with each person's name or a colored ribbon on the cookies to avoid a mix-up.
- Guests will need containers for their take-home cookies. They may want to bring their own large tins, Tupperware, or opt to use zippered plastic bags.
- Each guest should bring a copy of her cookie recipe for everyone in attendance. You may want to keep a few recipe/index cards and pens on hand in case you run short of copies.
When all is done, you'll be left with an assortment of delicious cookies and an enjoyable day to remember. Your cookie exchange may become a fun tradition – a great chance to break from the rush of the season and enjoy time with family and friends. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!

Plaza Theatre
376 Centre Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Opened in 1927 and was bought by Famous Players in 1930. They sold it in 1998 and according to information I have found is still open. Any more information would be appreciated.

At present the Plaza shows movies and is also used for live performances.
2006 picture of the Plaza Theatre—>
The Plaza notably still has the pre-1988 Famous Players logo as part of its marquee (dating from when that chain owned it), though it's been years since FP sold the theatre.
The Plaza Theatre in Shauvavon was a partnership situation between the Durham Family of Shaunavon and Famous Players Canadian Corporation. The Durham Family ALWAYS owned the theatre, but Famous Players split the profits in equal shares with the Durham family. The Durhams managed the theatre (under directions from Famous Players)! The best news EVER for this theatre is that the Durham family have installed DIGITAL projection. The Plaza Theatre is the longest continually family owned theatre in North America!!

SPOKANE -- Gonzaga had five players record multi-hit games in an eight-inning 19-10 non-conference loss to No. 18 University of Oregon on Wednesday afternoon. The game was called prior to the start of the ninth inning due to Oregon's travel arrangements.
Gonzaga (13-24-1) put up 10 runs on 13 hits but the Ducks (25-12) put up multiple runs in six consecutive innings to post the win. The Zags had Drew Heid, Steven Halcomb, Andy Hunter, Chris Sturdivant and Ernesto Ortiz each finish with two hits.
The Bulldogs answered a three-run Oregon second inning with a run on a RBI-double by Ortiz and then matched the Ducks three runs third with three runs off their own in the bottom of the fram, highlighted by back-to-back RBI-doubles by Mark Castellitto and Hunter to make hit 6-4 Oregon through three.
The Oregon offense didn't cool down and continued to get swings off the Bulldogs bullpen that saw Ryan Leahy and Max Manix each make their collegiate debuts on the day. The Ducks put up two runs in the fourth, five in the fifth, and three in the sixth before capping their scoring with three more runs in the seventh.
Ortiz added another RBI-double and Heid registered a two-run double in the Zags three-run sixth. Gonzaga picked up two runs in the seventh and one more on a Hunter sacrifice fly in the eighth to make it 19-10.
Heid, Hunter and Ortiz each finished with two RBI.
Gonzaga heads to San Diego this weekend for a three-game West Coast Conference series against the University of San Diego. Friday's series opener is scheduled for a 3pm start with 1pm starts slated for Saturday and Sunday.

All those discussions, regarding Woody's sparse use of his bench earlier this season, always had an air of foreboding. Injuries, to key players, is a reality of the NBA (and all professional/collegiate sports). So when a coach like Woody makes a conscious decision to under utilize his bench, on an ongoing basis, it can mean one of two things:
1) He's too worried about winning each individual game, to an extent that he's willing to roll the dice, risking the season, as a whole, and leaving his team without a well-developed bench, ill-prepared for an injury like the one to Horford, or,
2) He doesn't believe the bench he has, no matter how much run he gives them, is capable of competing against opposing teams. He doesn't believe he can win with those players.
Since the latter theory contradicts the general consensus of most Hawks' fans, that Woody has the strongest bench he ever been provided with, by simple exclusion, it points to the former (that's point #1 for those of you confounded by references to "former" and "latter"). If this was a new concern, if Woody hadn't ridden his starters like dogs, all last season, there might be more of a question as to what gives. But, as folks have been chatting up SINCE last season, this is no surprise here.
So, today, with Al Horford out, the Hawks got spanked at home by the Sixers. And let's not lay too much weight on Horford's absence without highlighting that the Sixers are without all-star power forward, Elton Brand. We were outrebounded by 15 primarily by a small forward (Young) and a rookie (Speights).
Add to this train of thought the long-standing opinion of many (certainly me) that continuing to play Horford at center, instead of his natural position of power forward, would limit the upside of this current team. With the recent run of losses, this thought has apparently re-emerged (based on what I've read from folks). With Horford out, our starting frontline, for the next few games will be (in my ongoing opinion) two small forwards and an obvious second-team center. This is going to present a very real challenge for the Hawks during Horford's absence. And I think games like today are going to create an ever-evolving blueprint for how opposing teams attack the Hawks.
It seems like Woody doesn't have much of a choice but to give Solo and RandMo some run here. He lost without them today. So the outcome can't be any worse if he gives them a chance. And it's the only hope he has, that the Hawks have, of developing a reliable bench. From that perspective, Horford's injury, if it was to happen at all, and it appears that he will not be out for an extended period, couldn't have come at a better time.
But all this really then comes back to the front office and ownership. How do they feel about the development potential and ability of the young big men they've provided for Woody and the team? If they have a seemingly higher opinion, in that regard, to they push their head coach to give these guys a chance? Or do they now look to make some moves?
What's become pretty clear is that the Hawks are not in the same class, as the roster is currently constructed, as the Cavs, the Celtics and the Magic (in my opinion).
Does the organization make a concerted effort to build on the potential of this years' team, by looking to acquire the kind of improved front line talent that could conceivably give them a shot to take on the first-tier of the Eastern Conference? Or do they settle (and that's almost an unfair term to use for a situation that sees the best Hawks team in over a decade, but failing to seek in-season improvements to your roster, is, by it's very definition "settling") and go with what they've got?
And, finally, as most of you know, I've been running an ongoing commentary on my belief that the ASG is in a very tenuous position, from a cash flow standpoint, with annual operational losses, a significantly higher payroll (as long as Bibby stays here) and a credit market that's extremely unwilling to extend cash to support under-performing businesses.
So the question isn't just about whether the front office and the owners WILL make an effort to bolster this season's roster: it's really a question of whether they can AFFORD to.
What do you folks out there think about all that??
January 11th, 2009
9:18 pm
As usual great read Ando!
However, when you counting other people's money the conversation can get kind of testy! The only person I think is of any immediate use to the Hawks is Wilcox from OkC. So now that we know who we need it's a matter of putting together a package, crunching the numbers and finding out whether this can work.

nice stuff ando, short on semi-colons, something personal?
since you brought up the fella, mr young looked pretty good for a third year college kid. at half time i posed this question to melvin and manny t. if you had a choice who would you take, marvin or thadeus? surprisingly there were two answers. good chatting up those two guys and hanging a bit with melvin as he dropped down to some empty seats next to me.
not a good crowd today, family day and little to cheer about.
January 11th, 2009
9:53 pm
Oooo doc, a low blow!
Ando, I'll come back tomorrow and discuss.
January 11th, 2009
10:15 pm
Our defense at the guard positions,especially at PG,is killing the Hawks.Does Bibby's offense compensate for his lack of defense?I don't think so.You win with defense,and early on this season we were playing good D,but I think we started to believe we were a great offensive team.Our TEAM has to play DEFENSE……
January 12th, 2009
3:17 am
doc…As soon as Marvin learns that like a good pitcher, he needs 2 good moves. Right now he has about 8 mediocre moves. The problem being he outthinks himself when he gets the ball if it is not an obvious 3 point shot. Simplifying will make his offense better. His defense has improved this year.
The Young fella will be good, but you are tempting me to go back to my old standard…if Marvin played there and Thad played here, would you have the same argument. There is a Woody factor that makes this question less obvious than you state.
Ando…the Hawks can afford a move, but I don't know that they will make one. The affordability comes in doing what they did last season. If you want to send an expiring contract (Zaza) or two (Marvin) out, you can get a decent player in return for that 9+ mil. You could probably get something done with either Josh as well. However, I think the ASG would be against that move unless we really hit a severe downward spiral like down to 9th in the east.
All that said, if he wasn't hurt, I'd put in a call for Chris Kaman. Others may look at Channing Frye, but I wonder what we could offer Portland? They do need to save some cap room now that Miles will add about 9 mil to their cap number, but Frye makes less than Zaza.
January 12th, 2009
12:31 pm
JJ…Winning with defense is the correct way. But you can also win by outscoring opponents, and the Hawks are able to win some games that way. Uptempo, and running. However, Woody refuses to let them play that way.
The ironic thing is that if Woody let the Hawks run, that would hide some of his obvious strategic coaching deficiencies.
Good read Ando. The bad thing is if the bench does not play well immediately (for whatever reason) people will be quick to say thats why they don't get any PT. Completely ignoring the fact that it takes consistent PT and confidence (and Woody plays a huge role).
January 12th, 2009
12:47 pm
The inprovements to the bench in the off season were good compared to previous years. However, we all know Al is no center and he is getting beat up down there. If this continues the starting five may not 100% at playoff time. JJ even said after Sunday's lost to the sixers that the starting 5 are not clicking and digging a hole before the bench players come in. It took the Cav's and the Celtics years to develop a nucleus of winning basketball. Although money is an issue ownership has to see if a good product is on the floor people will come. Even with the economy tight, people want a reason to cheer and get together. Biddy is good but his defense is lacking at times. Flip can drive the lane but causes to many turn overs. JJ said this is the best year he has had here because they are winning and playing like a team. However, all that yelling Woodson is doing has not motivated them.
January 12th, 2009
3:02 pm
I think Woody needs to get Law involved more off the bench. We need to see what this kid can do.At times he looks like he has some skills however, he disappears from the rotation even when the team is getting blown Away. The last three games the team has been very flat!! Perhaps Law could and would have provided a much needed lift. Can anyone say late season colapse from a top seed to a bottom playoff seed again!!!
January 12th, 2009
4:51 pm
Nice post, Ando.
Good comments following it, too.
January 12th, 2009
5:32 pm
The answer to your question is that I would take Thaddeus Young over Marvin any and all days of the week. It is amazing to me how many times this year I have heard that Marvin has improved. I will give him a little credit on defense, but the defensive improvement makes him close to average, and not terrible. He is such a limited player. He can not create his own shot. He can't stay on his feet when he drives. I have never seen a 6′11 guy fall to the ground as much as duck. His handles are questionable. He can only hit a shot when he is wide open, and that is still iffy. He should be the main guy on the trading block. We really need someone at the three who can take someone of the dribble and get to the lane, as we have enough stand still jump shooters (Bibby, Joe, Evans, Flip). Young's game needs work, but he is fluent and has a very high basketball IQ (which is amazing because, I know that Paul Hewitt did not help to develop that). Marvin should definately be the odd man out. Think of all the young 3's in the league (Granger, Young, Deng, Prince, Melo, Thorton, Chandler, Howard, Gay, Durant,Outlaw…), can you honestly say that you would take Marvin over any of them now. I can't. We won't even go into the fact that he was drafted with the #2 pick in the draft. Maybe Denver will trade Melo for Marvin, since they got drafted in the same position in the draft and Marvin is a little younger. (That was a joke).
January 12th, 2009
9:00 pm
Ando, dude, could, you, possibly, use, any, more, commas?
And "tenuous"? Is this a Hawks/SAT/GRE blog?
Our owners want as much stability as possible with the Belkin mess looming, so Woody knows he has his job until it's all resolved. Any pressure they apply on Woody to use his bench is superficial. The ASG is reticent about things like that anyway. Oops, did I say reticent? Damn Ando, you are contagious. Like Anal Fissures.
January 12th, 2009
10:14 pm
um for clarity, anal fissures are not contagious, contiguous maybe just not contagious.
rod, cant argue the point. what it does say is marvin has not lived up to the billing he didnt ask for which was he is a one in ten year player. i really like what marvin has done this year only as i watched the finesse, smoothness and motor of the kid i had to wonder. he was probably the surprise of the draft last year as he made a huge impact from the point they put him in the line up and i doubt many expected it of him. dont know how he fits in the scheme of things with elton brand but he did seem comfortable shooting threes, leading the break and finishing at the rim and playing with the big boys.

With the NBA trading deadline fast approaching, I have one real, deep fear for these Hawks — trading Bibby. If we struggle badly over the next few weeks … and we might … I think there's a real possibility that the ASG will dump Bibby to avoid paying the remainder of his salary for the year.
This is where the lack of run for Acie, and the rest of the benched bench comes into play. When everyone was healthy, we really needed to get these guys some more run. Now that Big Al is out, our other bigs will get some time — but that's something that should have been addressed BEFORE the injury.
The same may well hold true at the PG position for this team. Either though age, injury or trade — Bibby may not be here the whole year, and almost assuredly not next season. We need to start looking at some other folks here and now.
Maybe the expectations will be lowered over the next couple of weeks for this team, so that Woody feels like he can get the players not currently getting good minutes some good minutes. That way, our remaining players will be better off for the stretch run, and if we do make a move before the trading deadline, we have a better evaluation of our own talent to make solid decisions with.
One other issue bothers me at this point, and it's been glossed over in the good start to the season. Woody, Sund and the ASG have no real history with each other. They may not all be on the same page. That can cause problems, especially when a team is at an important transition point in their development like the Hawks are now. We have the makings of a good team, but so did the Bulls two years ago. One or two smart moves will make the Hawks contenders (like the Cetlics), but one or two bad moves will make us pretenders (like the Bulls). Or we could just get stuck in the middle for the next decade like the Nets.
I really would like to see better signs of unity from the ASG, Sund and Woody in terms of playing, developing and keeping talent over the next few weeks. In Woody's case, playing more folks. In Sund's case, shaking the trees around the league to find folks compatible with Woody's system, and in ASG's case, making the public announcement to simply continue supporting this team for now and the foreseeable future.
I don't know. I think we're at a crossroads here. As the blog title says, "The Bill Comes Due."
So are we going to pay it, or file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy? Hawks fans want to know.

I actually like the Bargnani idea. It would definately change the the look ouf our team dramatically. I just know that a move does need to made if we seriously want to compete in the east. I am glad to know that you do kind of agree with me. I have just finally come to realize that Marvin is a true bust. I have really had a problem this year with all the comments about how his game has improved. I actually feel like he has gotten worse. He seems like he is missing more free throws, he does not hit the open shot like he used to, and he consistently falls when he penetrates, and can not finish consistently. Barring a trade for a big man, I really feel like a wing player who can create his own shot, slash, and penetrate to kick or finish at the rim would really change the dynamics of this team. I feel like Marvin is that piece that we really need to get rid of because he does nothing for the team.
January 13th, 2009
11:43 am
I think Sund is savvy enough to allow Woody to do his job how he sees fit without interfering or mandating some specifics. Therefore, if things does not go accoordingly to expectations then Woody would have hung himself with his own rope…
January 13th, 2009
1:25 pm
When we are winning and Marvin is playing solid (not quite inspired, but solid) man-to-man defense and is content to go off to the side on offense and drain the jumper when his number is called, he will look like a good fit. When the other starters aren't bringing the swagger and we go down by 50, Marvin's willingness to go off the the side becomes quite annoying. Let's face it, Marvin is an athletic jump-shooter with great length and no swagger. He doesn't have the desire to dominate; he doesn't even seem like he has all that much fun playing. It's like bball is his duty, not his passion.
I would take the risk with Bargnani. Marvin's usefulness on the floor and our overall intensity, for which other players are mostly responsible, go hand-in-hand. Barg's skill set would do us better. This trade would have been a hail no at the beginning of the season, but now, gotta roll the dice, given how Bargnani is playing with JO out. Hopefully JO gets back and drives Barg's value down.
Please don't say that trading Marv would be an overreacting to recent woes. I wonder if anyone knows/can look up the farthest a team has advanced after being down 50 at some point in the season. Being down 50 is no joke; it necessitates a change. This team reminds me (slightly) of the 04-05 Falcons, luckily advancing to the NFC Championship despite gaping holes shown while losing to the Chiefs 56-10 (8 rushing tds!) and the Bucs 27-0. We have some gaping holes of our own: lack of an offensive system that consistently uses the post, frontcourt depth, and the horrendous management/development of our bench (we play 82 games Woody). Unless the NBA suddenly changes its playoff format to single-elimination, we aren't going to go as far as those Falcons, let alone win it all.
January 13th, 2009
1:50 pm
I agree Melvin. Woody will be his own judge & jury. He has a team full of vets with a couple of young players sprinkled in. Bibby, JJ & Al Horford are players that any coach would like to have. Josh & Marvin have been tutored exclusively by Woody since they came into the league. Woody has had 4 1/2 years to mold them into players that fit his system. If they continue to underperform or won't buy into Woodys system then either the players or coach needs to go.
January 13th, 2009
5:00 pm
Bargnani still plays zero defense. If you want to trade Marvin, trade him for someone who competes on both ends of the floor.
I think shifting J-Smoove back to SF will only expose his below-average ball handling skills even more and leave him guarding perimeter players too often, making it harder for him to play help defense inside where he makes the biggest impact. And if Bargnani is gonna be on the floor, J-Smoove's help defense will be more important than ever.
The roster is not what needs to change. If Mike Woodson would get the Hawks to push the ball more, none of these roster issues would be a big deal. I'm never a fan of changing personnel because the coach isn't good enough to use them properly.
If any personnel move should be made it should be bench-related. I'd be open to, for example, trading Flip Murray for DeSagana Diop. Yeah, the Hawks need more size, but Bargnani is not the answer.

31 -16, Suns killing Hawks at the end of the 1st. Josh gets rejected by Amare with 2.5 seconds to go, and that's a good metaphor of the game so far.

'Zup doctor in the house? Makers Mark night. Big meeting today with the Pres. of the U of R. We're collaberating on a portion of his next book. I'm a happy man in one sense, but really bummed at seeing the HAWKS in WIZARDS mode. What did WOODSON do, show our heros a tape of a LIZARDS game and say "play like this?"
January 13th, 2009
10:10 pm
50 – 46 at the half.
And we had an Acie sighting before the late fourth quarter too … coincidence?
January 14th, 2009
4:05 am
I noticed a concentrated effort on the part of Murray to move the ball, protect the ball, and of course score the ball. This guy would be an All-Star if they only counted his stats every other night.
Pachulia, as Ray pointed out, worked his azz off tonight on Shaq (was that Shaq?!), and contested (you know, made it harder to see) a number of the Diesel's jumpers.
Morris looked fundamentally sound, and Law has developed a nice chemistry with Murray- guess the second team came away from the practice with something.
Overall, a great game to watch (even though it gave me heartburn). I don't have a lot to complain about, just a tough loss to a very good Western Conference team on the road. Sometimes your star is going to miss the big shots.
Why don't we run more slashing type plays with Williams and Smith? That would facilitate ball movement and make shots for the two of them, who are having to ad-lib the few shots they're taking.
January 14th, 2009
7:14 am
Hey guys,
You're absolutely right. The bill has come due. The questions that I have are:
Do we believe JJ is burned out/disinterested/doesn't take criticism well/is injured or is just going through a slump?
Do we believe that we can't be successful ala Golden State with a smaller front court that retains our current players?
Whatever the backcourt woes, we've got to work on them. More than anything else, we're suffering from poor shooting. Big men aside, with respectable shooting from the floor and the foul line, we've won at least two of the past 4 we've dropped (Orlando at home and PHX last night).
It would be great if Woody could conjure up some of Riley's old motivational tricks to fire this team up. That is the missing ingredient. Yea, a big man would help – if he's a quality big man. Don't see many of those guys running around for little or nothing. Serviceable isn't good enough to take us to the top.
January 14th, 2009
9:08 am
If you dig a little deeper into those shooting stats, Josh could be lumped in with Mike and Joe on that shooting. He was better, but not great…the 3 were a combined 19 for 60. Zaza and not-Thad (i.e. Marvin) were 10 for 16.
I would also add that the shooting 3 all had negative +/-, while Zaza who had to Superman-up against Shaq came in with the balanced 0 which I acknowledge as a major effort and positive for our depleted front court. The one starter with a + rating…not-Thad.
In fact, Marvin had a +6 rating while playing 40 minutes. Because we lost by 5 this means in the 8 minutes that he was out the Hawks were -11 as a team. Seems like not-Thad could tell several of y'all that his big bottom clearly pulled its weight against the Suns.
This allows the easy segue to Thad has a ton of potential, but RIGHT NOW, Marvin is a bigger contributor.
For this post, I'll let the local ESPN stat geek do the heavy lifting.

It's not always the number of mistakes a player makes that must be noted – it's also WHEN the player makes the mistake.
If the team is up by 10 & a player makes a bone-headed mistake it usually goes unnoticed. The same player jacks up an ill advised shot with 39 seconds in the game when we really need a bucket – that player will get criticized a lot (even if he had played well before that).
That is where Josh Smith is right now. He does so many things well during a game, but seems to continually make the "bone-headed" play at the wrong time. It seems like he takes a bad shot, throws a bad pass, dribbles the ball off his foot, forgets to box out, is late on a defensive rotation at the absolute worst times.
Everyone on the team makes these same mistakes, it just seems like Josh has a bad case of timing. Is this related to his bball IQ like some think or is it just Murphy's law for poor Josh.

At 10, join the debate with Naresh Puri, sitting in for Nihal. He's asking, are Asian women who drink uncultured? There's a warning today that heavy drinking amongst women is on the increase. Are Asian women who booze disrespectful and bringing shame on their community. After 11, cricket commentator Peter Baxter will be talking about his new book 'Can Anyone Hear Me: Testing Times with Test Match Special On Tour' and after 12, we will be discussing the story of the pregnant woman who was 'refused' a seat on the Manchester Metrolink tram.

The death of Amy Winehouse, while sad, is hardly shocking.
Video of the British soul singer stumbling around stage and eventually getting booed by fans in Belgrade last month was a topic of discussion on shows ranging from Howard Stern to the syndicated entertainment yakkers.
Peter Conlon, president of Live Nation Atlanta, said he was just talking to someone about Winehouse at lunch yesterday after hearing that the singer had canceled her South American tour.
"I just said that she has to get some help or something like this would happen," Conlon said.
Conlon, a veteran promoter in Atlanta, said he has no recollection of Winehouse ever playing here, although she was supposed to play Chastain Park Amphitheater last August. The tour never materialized because of alleged visa issues.
"We had a date on hold forever, waiting for her," he said.
Conlon said that while Winehouse won't be revered at the same level as Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin – who both also died at 27 – she will retain legendary status.
"She was a very talented artist and definitely earned a place in music history," he said. "She'll always be remembered as this troubled artist whose drug problem inhibited her career."
Scott Lindy, program director at Star 94, remembers when Winehouse came up to the studios at Sirius satellite radio in New York when he worked there.
"She was funny and engaging and didn't come off like a star," he said. "When she went into the studio to do her [live] session, it was just amazing. People were just mesmerized. One of the producers at the session said, 'She doesn't know how talented she is.'"
Lindy said Star did play Winehouse's best-known song, "Rehab," prior to his tenure there (it hit No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007) but not recently, even as a recurrent.
Even though the station is having an all '90s weekend, Lindy planned to insert some of Winehouse's music to play through the weekend.
Do you think Winehouse's legacy will extend beyond "Rehab"? Will she be revered like those musicians who also died at 27?

She was more famous for being a junkie who didn't want help than she was for being a musician. Let's stop with the false deification. She's not even a footnote in music history, but her early death will certainly make sure she becomes a "legend". Keep an eye on your Facebook and Twitter friends the next few days. Just wait for the outpouring of false sympathy from people who have never once mentioned this woman before.

she will always be remembered as that lady who died the day after the horrible tragedy in Norway

Legend? She was more famous for being a junkie than a singer.. She got what was coming to her and I don't mean that in a bad way; it's the truth. She even said it herself "they tried to make me go to rehab I said no, no, no." She didn't want to change her way so there she goes. R.I.P.

I think her legend will grow – the music and songs have a timeless quality. That she is British and not american means her legend will be rooted more strongly there – in fact potentially far more than the american 27yo's.

She wasn't perfect as are none of us. It's very sad.

Her legacy?
July 23rd, 2011
2:00 pm
She was so talented! It's such a shame that her drug abuse and seemingly inability to overcome her demons will overshadow the music she made, and stopped what should have been a long and wonderful career with incredible vocals.. Tragic.. Is probably how she will be remembered.. If you were a fan of her music before today though, then gifted vocalist is how she will be remembered.. I think it's so very sad that she ever started such destructive behavior. Imagine the career she could have had without the drug use.. What a shame, and shameful she couldn't get the help she so obviously needed..
July 23rd, 2011
2:02 pm
I think people who hear her music for what it is (and don't concern themselves with petty celebrity gossip) know what an inspired voice she was… informed by music of the past but synthesizing it all into something new. Look at the album art on "Frank" to see her very well-rounded CD collection. She knew her stuff– she was well-listened, and you can hear it in her voice. At 20 years old when she made that album to go from this new hiphop/jazz synthesis on one track to sounding like Sarah Vaughn singing a ballad on another is something.
Most with a gift like that are haunted by demons, and Amy was no different. Jimi, Curt, Janis, all of them… even going back to the likes of Billie and Bird. Not saying Amy stands as tall as all of them, but she did have an extraordinary gift that we shouldn't discount by judging her for the demons she fought. Her art might not have been the same without them.
July 23rd, 2011
2:05 pm
These days with the media pushing everything up high, these days with more stars being made than born and these days with the music market being so big it is no surprise that we had someone like Amy for a very short stint at the very top. Yes, she had some talent – probably more than others and yes firstly she was picked by some agent, manager…etc because of this. But pushed to the top and held up there she was nothing but a puppet on strings.
July 23rd, 2011

I loved her music so much & my brother was in love with her voice. I hope her soul rests. I love u Amy W !
Ps. Let's stop judging … Let's love & miss her. She is & no one 4 that matter is near from perfect.
July 23rd, 2011

I'm surprised she lasted this long!
July 23rd, 2011
2:28 pm
Typical R and R story; drugs, booze, music, and OD. Most great artists music or art, have some kind of drug problem. She had the best voice in music in the last 30 years.
July 23rd, 2011
2:33 pm
I guess I find it an interesting represtantaion of our culture that many seem to find it amusing or funny that Amy Winehouse is dead, yet many of the same people think the deaths of Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe, Janis Joplin, Chris Farley, Jimi Hendrix, Sid Vicious, Jim Morrison, John Belushi, and others were tragedies.
July 23rd, 2011
2:59 pm
Unfortunately, the psuedo "soul singing diva" (oh, please…) will be remembered as a legendary artist. In reality, she was an overhyped, drug addict, who, like Pat Boone & Elvis before her, got pushed to the public forefront mostly because of her ethnicity. True or false? Funny how Erykah Badu & Jill Scott are billed as "neo-soul" artists, while Ms. Crackhouse, is (was) viewed as the real deal…smh!

It seems extraordinary talent is bestowed at a high cost. You can also find the same disorder(s)/

July 23rd, 2011
3:15 pm
Like all those who went before her, someday she will be remembered as a gifted singer. I listened to Back to Black today on the way home from work…it is an amazing cd, such a waste, very sad!
July 23rd, 2011
3:34 pm
An overly hyped, synthesizer and lipsync dependent so-called singer with all the personal appeal of Quasimodo….very nasty looking to boot. Comparing her to Van Gogh as a troubled artist is a crass joke. All that said, RIP.
July 23rd, 2011
3:45 pm
The headline about her death is about the least surprising headline ever. What a waste of talent.
July 23rd, 2011

Great – another talented junkie turned into a legend. When you start listing all her talents, include the canceled concerts and the ones she stumbled through.

As a great singer. Who just could not get her self together. It very sad how she let her self go. She could have been someone great.

Legacy?! Trainwreck and shallow end of the gene pool. The only blessing is that she never reproduced.
July 23rd, 2011
5:26 pm
In her death perhaps what most of us will miss is the extremely talented energy, persona of a young woman who soulfully sang about her existential woes. A young woman from the wrong side of the tracks who for a moment ended up on the right side of the tracks, but perhaps with her death she will forever be immortalized and regaled to a higher level than she could have ever imagined whilst alive. If only Amy had held on….

Give her a break gang. She is dead, she lead her life the way she wanted and this is the outcome.

When they tried to make me go to rehab, I should have gone, gone, gone…
July 23rd, 2011
6:27 pm
Why would she be remembered?
July 23rd, 2011
7:15 pm
Perhaps as a wasted talent. She accomplished little but seemed to have been given much. She was self indulgent, confident in her "talent" but indifferent to doing anything with it.
Wasted talent seems a cliche

The first time I heard her I wasn't paying attention to the music video. I thought the music was unique and original. When I turned to look at the video, I thought, "Oh, dear. What a trainwreak." The tattoos, the heroin or crank addict physic, the thick painted on make up. I could not stop watching her and hearing her voice. It was just too much.
She was talented but she was doomed before she became famous. If she had not become famous she would have ended up the same way. Fame did not fuel her downfall. She was flawed before it took hold.
Sad but true.
July 24th, 2011
5:23 am
She'll be best remembered for being dead.
July 24th, 2011
5:09 pm
She had the potential to die of self-loathing and chemical abuse. The obvious diregard for the gift of life and the gift of talent is not something to be praised. She didn't want help and, in fact, was happy in her misery. Well, she lived up to her potential; she died badly. What a waste. Please, let's not make a romantic figure out of a pure fool.
July 24th, 2011
11:50 pm
All of those head lice now with no place to go….come on, people!!! Her picture is in the dictionary next to 'skank'. She tattooed everything but her eyeballs. She screwed anyone and anything, She punched and kicked those poor fools who went to see her yodel. She couldn't get through a performance without staggering, puking or snorting. Her existence was all about the search for the next high…who cares if she could sing sometimes? She is the role model for what happens when we indulge really stupid people. At least the mortician will give her a bath, something she apparently hadn't had in months…
July 25th, 2011
9:21 am
She was and will always be a LEGEND!!! If it was not for her, we would not have the sounds of Adele, Duffy, or Estelle. She paved the way for them. She left a mark. Back to Black along with her first CD are classics. May her soul find peace that it could not find while she was alive.

Judge not…Poor woman. What a tortured soul and wasted life..regardless of her talents. The views on here are part of why we still have such a drug problem in america. Addiction is a disease. Once it takes hold some people are just resistant to treatment. How can anyone sit on the sidelines of someone else's life and try to pretend to make judgements on their decisions? Wonder how we would judge some of YOUR decisions…maybe even taken out of context? Maybe not? Maybe as humans we are inherently flawed in our own perfect way? Maybe now she is at peace.
July 25th, 2011
1:10 pm
When something like this happens, it's always maddening to see the 'judge not' people come out of the woodwork. I lay part of the blame at the feet of people like that. You're the type of friends that would let one of your friends wreck their lives as you stand by and pretend to mourn for attention. Isn't it worse to not DISCERN that she did something incredibly stupid and self-serving that hurt countless others?
Is talent an excuse? Look at the picture of her mom, who is clearly broken and will never be the same. No one should want to follow that lead, no matter how much talent they may have. Who cares about Adele, Duffy, or Estelle in the context of a 27 year old woman being dead? Wouldn't it have been better if she had never found fame that she couldn't control if she were still alive, living a life that gave back the love of others? Fanatical fans and egotistical stars seem to not truly care about each other. They only want what the other can give them. The fans want music, entertainment, and an image to emulate at any cost, while the star wants to be deified and, perversely enough, misunderstood and tortured, so they can justify fighting some sort of battle with their ego. What has this society done to people?
July 25th, 2011
1:54 pm
NOT great, not really even mediocre…..not a legend….won't even be missed….an alcoholic druggie who bit the dust – got what she deserved – no sadness here!!!!!
July 25th, 2011
2:57 pm
I listened to her music for the first time on Saturday and I must admit that she was talented. Unfortunately, she had an uncontrollable habit that she did not want to kick. I don't really know why nor do I care because that was her business. My heart goes out to her family, friends and fans because to them she was more than just an artist and an addict. She is and will always be a legend to them if noboby else. RIP Amy, you certainly deserve it…………….
July 25th, 2011
5:53 pm
I think for those who are judging this women after she isn't even here anymore, should take just a moment of their time to think as they are about to comment on a deceased lady that if they were in her shoes, do they want people to talk bad about their life story? People need to stop and think instead of just jumping to conclusions, and making judgement, what do you know truely about her? Do you know her past? What she could have been threw? For those out there looking to just put someone down, stop and think what your saying. Please.

I dont think she will be remembered as much for her Legacy or talent than the Tranwreck of a Life she led. People are more fancinated on how bad she lived her life wrecked by drugs more than her legacy of music. Very Sad because she did have a unique sound.
Its always been that way as far as Talked about More after death than in life. Jim Morrison Lead singer for the Doors was Talked about a Hell of a lot more after he died then when he was Living.
The Doors were NO Beatles Rolling Stones Bon Jovi, or even Queen when it came to record sales. the others sold Much more. . But his death made him as Large as the Superbands. I will argue with anyone that says the Doors outsold the Beatles, Bon Jovi, or the Rolling Stones..but the death of their Front man is Still talked about almost 40yrs later like he was Larger than them all or Just as Large as John Lennon. Yes Jim was larger in death. mostly for his Bad boy Drug image not his music Legacy.
Jimi Hendricks, Janis Joplin. both brilliant artists. but Immortal because of How they died. that being Drugs.
Amy Winehouse, have to admit I was not a fan, didnt even listen to her music until the day she died. I went on Youtube..listend to You know I am no Good.Great. From what I hear, sounds like a Great Unique voice gone forever, because of Drugs. So typical..the Cost of Fame for Some
in the land of Hollyweird.

She, like me, (The King of Popping propofol) was the greatest entertainer that ever lived. Chamon!
July 26th, 2011
10:56 am
Well put Bobo… one hates to speak ill of the deceased but the negative banter is less about Winehouse than it is her enablers and those attempting to deify this loser. Even in the context of pathetically self-absorbed and self-indulgent fallen "legends", she doesn't even register. No real impressive body of work, no series of memorable fine performances… just a couple of CDs and a long list of broken dates. I pulled up her Wikipedia entry recently and could only SMH. Seriously? I doubt the Queen of England has a write up that long. lol
I'm listening to Jill Scott's latest as I type this and thinking how hard it is for Scott to sometimes get a good review from some music critics despite her voice and lyricism, her presence and her professionalism. She embodies all that is wonderful about Soul and R&B in both pure ability and feeling. Yet those same reviewers froth at the mouth for such a pretender as Winehouse. Not at all a bad R&B singer, but given far too much credit for simply daring to do so.

Deflections of composite beams
Modified calculation methods can be used to determine deflections of composite beams, but simpler procedures based on limiting span:depth ratios are often adequate.
Deflections of composite beams can be calculated using the principle of transformed sections. In this the concrete flange is replaced by an equivalent width of steel, in inverse proportion to the Young's moduli for the two materials. This enables the second moment of area of the transformed section to be calculated. The deflection can then be determined as if the beam were composed entirely of steel.
As an alternative, satisfactory deflection performance can be ensured by limiting the ratio of the length of span of the beam to its overall depth.

The velvet worms (Onychophora — literally "claw bearers", also known as Protracheata) are a minor ecdysozoan phylum with ~180 species. These obscurely segmented organisms have tiny eyes, antennae, multiple pairs of legs and slime glands. They have variously been compared to worms with legs, caterpillars and slugs. Most common in tropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere, they prey on smaller animals such as insects, which they catch by squirting an adhesive mucus. In modern zoology, they are

The call for a mass protest on January 25th last year - the start of Egypt's revolution - began from the Facebook page, Kullena Khaled Said. It was a page created to highlight the fate of a young man beaten to death by the police in Alexandria. But as events changed across the Arab world, it became a focus for hundreds of thousands of protestors demanding an end to Mubarak's rule. Its creator was Wael Ghonim, a Google executive, who used his knowledge of technology and the love of his country to inspire a generation of young Egyptians to demand change.Revolution 2.0
Revolution 2.0 is published by Fourth Estate.
From Tahrir Square in Cairo, to the streets of Athens, to the avenues of Madrid, to Westminster and St Paul's, 2011 saw an uprising against regimes and systems of government almost unprecedented in world history. Journalist Paul Mason visited many of the places where revolutions were 'kicking off' and spoke to many of the new generation of revolutionaries. So who are these people and how significant was the world economic crisis in triggering such widespread social and political unrest?Paul Mason
Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere: The New Global Revolutions is published by Verso.
In 1989 revolution spread throughout Eastern Europe, toppling the dictatorial regimes in Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Romania. Out of all of these countries only Romania overthrew its old regime through violent action. A lifelong advocate of peaceful protest movements and a civil rights activist with Martin Luther King, Mary King argues that armed struggle is ultimately less successful. She looks at the parallels between the recent Arab Spring and the Autumn of Nations two decades ago.Mary King

Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl: The Power of Creatine Multiplied...
Where Regular Creatine is Lacking
Creatine is by far, one of the best discoveries that has ever hit the bodybuilding/fitness world. Creatine monohydrate has proven effective in increasing muscle mass, strength and all around athletic performance.
Although, with every good thing comes a cost. Creatine monohydrate's absorption rate is poor and is only as good as the cell's ability to absorb it. Thus, creatine transporters, such as huge amounts of sugar, and loading phases are needed. Saturating the system in creatine is thought to help with its absorption, but leads to bloating, cramping and dehydration. So ask yourself this question: Does putting more gas in your car make it go faster?
Significant Absorption Means Impressive Results
Axis Labs has just exhausted the competition. Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl is an exceptionally soluble creatine resulting in advanced absorption, increased bioavailability, and stability. Instead of saturating your system in creatine and hoping for absorption, creatine ethyl ester directly penetrates the muscle cell resulting in 30 to 40 times more functional creatine. This means no more loading, bloating, cramping or dehydration. Most users notice a difference in their first dose.
Hold on tight! You're in for a ride
