Delighted to have secured a third MotoGP podium of 2013 but disappointed not to have pushed Valentino Rossi for the win in yesterday's Dutch TT, Cal Crutchlow left Assen with mixed feelings.

at least you have now stopped changing words BBL... well done :) you do listen after all.
to avoid questions... As you are already aware BBL, in your first few posts to me you were editing it and changing some words, emphasis and meaning... not just inserting paragraphs etc and no, I didn't keep a written record of it... I just thought how sad.
expect more... they would only expect more if they genuinely rated him as an Alien BBL... because that is the territory he is performing in.... explain that with your absolute facts??? So Jarvis and co think Cal is an Alien and is expected the defeat the elite of the world... that means they think he is part of that elite...???
so your saying Cal was the fastest rider then eh...??? so you think he is of Alien status... not sure i agree with you there BBL... but regardless thanks, despite your child like ways, it's been fun on a slow evening :)) night.
you say one thing and then change your mind BBL... you said I was to have the last word... work on that consistency aspect eh... now I am going to sleep! Night.

Ahhh Benny ye just don't want to give credit to Cal do ye.We got a good Brit riding the wheels of a satalite bike and taking it to the 4 Aliens.Dovi last year got the parts over Cal, he done realy well but all his podiums were 20+ seconds behind the winner unlike Cal this year whos been finishing just seconds behind.
Dovis podiums last year or the bronze medal position were against Yorgi and Dani, Casey took 3 races out and rode injured for many more races,Rossi was on the Ducrapi and Spies chucked it at the sight of a corner.
Cal this year is up against Yorgi Rossi Dani and Marquez. Sad to say the Ducrapi this year in the hands of Dovi is turning out to be a Ducrapier and is being rode with a lot less skill than when Rossi was on it.

It is a sign of Cal's progress that 3rd at Assen is seen as a disappointment. He made several mistakes in the race (although my first opinion on the last lap incident was that Marquez braked extra hard to put him off line) and still finished 3rd. It was infuriating to watch him tip toeing along behind Jorge but it is obvious that he believes he has a chance with Yamaha next year, which would have gone right out the window if he had skittled their already injured, number one rider. Back when Jorge and Casey were finding their way in MotoGP, they were either getting great results of binning it and commentators were saying that you can teach a fast rider to be consistent but you can't teach a slow rider to be fast. Cal is showing that he has the ability to learn (last year, he struggled to overtake slower riders and he's passed plenty so far, this term, although Rossi, Pedrosa and Lorenzo aren't slow!) and he sure is fast, so I think the best is yet to come.
After decades of mid-pack to back-marker Brits, it is great to have somebody from this island to cheer for, who we feel disappointed with for only coming 3rd! Go Cal!

Noddy when Dovi joined tech 3 Cal had already been in that team for a year, and if my memory serves me correctly Dovi was the better rider in that team for that year - how do you know Dovi got all the "good bits" over Cal? I wonder how well Dovi would be doing if he had been with tech 3 for as long as Cal?

Yamaha have stated time and time again that they will only ever support two factory bikes. At the recent test Rossi stated "I also tried the swingarm Lorenzo has, which is a little stiffer and I liked this and we will continue with this. At the end we found a very good package that gave me a very good feeling, especially in braking" So not even Rossi has the same spec bike as Lorenzo. So once again Benny in your attempt to run down Cal you show your total lack of knowledge of the sport.
An honest question... why don't you just fuck of an die you twisted little nobody.

I've been thinking for the past few months of getting my first business credit-card. Between running a part-time business and my blogging business, there come times when I have to use a credit-card to make purchases. It's easy to make purchases, but separating my business and personal transactions gets pretty confusing at times. Far too many times last year I made purchases on my personal credit card for the businesses. And it's become a royal pain in the ass with all the paperwork juggling. I know that a change needs to be made, obviously one of the first rules of being a business owner is keeping your business transactions separate from personal transactions.
So, I need a business credit card. Badly!
Due to some past reading on business credit cards, I'm familiar with the process of obtaining a business credit card. It is much like applying for a personal credit card. In both cases, lenders want to know that they're not taking an undue financial risk by extending you credit.
Essentially this means that before you're approved, creditor issuers will scrutinize your credit score, your repayment history, and even the years spent at your current residence. Some business credit cards come with costly interest rates, however I'm not interested in those.
I am thinking of waiting until after I do my business taxes in the Spring. This way I can alleviate some pressure and make the process slightly easier. If the creditor reviews my tax statements, looks at the positive cash-flow and a decent income on monthly basis, it should make it easier for me to obtain a business credit-card.
Previously I was offered a small business line of credit, but I was not ready to take it at that time, so I rejected the offer. I'd rather get a business credit-card. Sure the interest is probably higher, but I don't need a massive amount of credit. For me it's about the convenience. And in order for me to get any small business financing will probably require some sort of personal guarantee from my personal side of finances. We'll see, maybe not, but than again I wouldn't be surprised.
So, I'll keep you guys posted on my journey to getting my first business credit card.
And btw….
Does anyone have any good business credit-card recommendations?

Hundreds gathered Thursday at City Hall to mourn a man killed by stray gunfire on Christmas day in Pasadena.
Victor McClinton, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department technician, was killed at about 11 a.m. Tuesday outside his home in the 1900 block of Newport Avenue, near Wyoming Street.
A second man who may have been the target of the drive-by shooting was wounded by gunfire, according to police.
McClinton, 49, founded the Brotherhood Community Youth Sports League nearly two decades ago and served as its volunteer director.

This was an utterly believable peek into Rude and Reno's relationship that made me want to read more. Wondeful job.

After a week off, time to get back to work and since I left, the Pirates have not lost and own the best record in Major League Baseball. I am buying into this Bucco team. Still only the start of July but they seem to have a swagger and confidence that they have not had the last two years when they started out well and faded the last two months.
Good news for the BayHawks in extending the lease with the Erie Insurance Arena to keep them here through the 2015-16 season. The Otters may be a different story but the D-League seems to be well entrenched here,
Our good friend Dan Budziszewski has been named the new Athletic Director of Harbor Creek High School replacing Andy Krahe who was promoted to principal. Buddy has been the head football coach for the Huskies since 1982, the longest tenured coach in the area. His promotion may mean that Buddy could be stepping down. I know one thing, he loves to coach so that might be a difficult decision if he should have to make a choice.

Before actually going with the porn thing, talk to your wife about how you feel. Also remember that this can be a bit of a touchy subject with some people. Another option would be to see a marriage counselor.
The biggest thing I can say is not to resort to seeing other women unless you have the okay from your wife. Otherwise you'll have bigger problems on your hand than an unsatisfied libido.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
By Christian Jennings - bio | email THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) - Every year about 36,000 people die from the seasonal flu. Health Departments in southwest Georgia began offering flu shots last week.
Wednesday people in Thomas county had the whole day to get a flu shot without even getting out of their car.
The seasonal flu vaccine is being offered ealier than usual, and at a cheaper price.
Health officials say getting your seasonal flu shot is more important now than ever, because it's an important way to fight the spread of pandemic H1N1 virus, it doesn't protect against swine flu, but it will help prevent co-infections.
So in Thomas county, 900 vaccines were on hand to do just that.
"Have you ever had a flu shot?" asked a health official. "No mam, it's my first time," one patient said.
It was the most common answer at the drive-thru flu clinic in Thomas County. The pandemic H1N1 virus may have scared people into getting a seasonal flu shot, for the first time.
"This is my first flu shot. With the swine flu, it does make you think twice," said Marcia Scanlan.
Dozens of health officials worked three lanes of traffic. The process was simple. Roll up your sleeves, get stuck by a needle, and drive off.
"We have been extremely busy. We probably saw more in the first two hours than we did in six last year," said Shemika Lucas, Enivornmental Health Specialist at the Thomas county Health Department.
The seasonal flu shot is available almost a month earlier than it was last year, and at a lower price.
"Last year it was 25, this year it's 20. We wanted to push the initiative," she said.
An initiative that worked for the people who used their lunch break to get a shot, instead of a burger.
"I work in the health field, as an EMT, so I'm around sick people all the time," said one man.
"I work with young children, I want to be as healthy as I can so I don't pass anything to them," said Kimberly Armstrong.
Clinic workers weren't taking any risks either with hand sanitizer at every station. Everyone just doing what they can to stay healthy, and flu-free.
And we know it seems redundant, but health officials continue to stress washing hands and coughing in your sleeve as simple ways to prevent getting sick. And most importantly, if you are sick, don't go to work, don't go to school, stay home.
The vaccine for H1N1 won't be available until mid-October at the earliest.

ShortTalk: Dictation Made Rewarding
Executive Summary
ShortTalk is a new method for composing text by speech. This spoken command language is carefully designed to be rewarding to use, right from the beginning. In contrast to so-called "natural language technology" of available dictation systems, ShortTalk can be fluently interspersed with dictation. There are no cumbersome phrases like "go to the beginning of the line." Instead, ShortTalk codifies natural and universal editing concepts that can be combined in command phrases, typically consisting of only two syllables.
For example, "ghin line"—with "ghin" as in "beGINning"—is an unambiguous spoken command for moving the cursor to the beginning of the line. It is a rewarding phrase, because it is faster to say "ghin line" than to find and press the home key on the keyboard.
With almost no application- or user-specific vocabulary, ShortTalk works for e-mails and structured text such as XML or source code. Analytical and empirical studies indicate that ShortTalk, combined with occasional pointing, may be faster than conventional editing using keyboard and mouse.
The technology holds the promise of making tablet-based computers attractive for text entry, since only few keys are needed to complement speech input that takes advantage of ShortTalk.
A one-minute video demo is available.
KeywordsDictation system, speech recognition, user interface, speech interface, spoken command language, editing by voice, stenophonic principle, entropy of command languages, tool use and language acquisition.

Full week of work a boost for Matt FlynnPosted by on December 6, 2013 – 2:45 pm
Last week, QB Matt Flynn got a couple of short, walk-through practices to get ready for his first Packers start of 2013.
This week, Flynn was able to get a full, normal week of preparation for his second straight start in place of Aaron Rodgers, and he expects that to make a big difference.
"Without a doubt," he said. "I feel like I'm calling the plays and not really thinking about where guys are lining up and what they're running. I feel more fluid with everybody and feel we can get a little chemistry going."
Any and all fluidity was lost last week against the Lions, a game Flynn says you just have to "forget about." Detroit packed eight and sometimes nine defenders at the line of scrimmage, daring the Packers to beat them with the pass, and Flynn says it's up to the offense to take advantage of those situations, which leave single coverage on the outside against the wide receivers.
"It should be a quarterback's dream," he said. "Obviously last week we didn't execute, but that's over with, and we need to get it done and play like the Green Bay Packers."
Up front, the Packers could be shuffling on the offensive line again, with C Evan Dietrich-Smith listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday. He injured his ankle on Wednesday, and the Packers have a few different ways they could go in his absence.
Flynn expects the Falcons to give the Packers a number of different defensive looks to try to confuse them with their pass-protection assignments. Given that, it will be important to trust the offense and the preparation. As much as everyone wants to make up for the disaster in Detroit, that can't be the mentality come kickoff on Sunday.
"We don't go out and try to make something happen, we don't go and try to press and be something we're not," Flynn said. "We go out there to execute, and if we play our best, it should be good enough."

Hate to say it, but its going to be another beating! Offense standing around with there thumb up there butt, Defense trying to figure out how to tackle, and MM calling the Offensive Plays!! ATLANTA 24 GREEN BAY 17.
By Peter Hoelen on Dec 6, 2013 | Reply
First of all the Packers are seriously wounded, and more than just Aaron Rodgers. Secondly the Falcons are a huge disappointment based on the recent annual performances and their expectations this year. They are getting healthy and do not want to lose anymore games either.
If the Packer Defense could only put together a "Great Performance" for once this year. Then green Bay could win by only scoring 17 points.
By goinforit on Dec 6, 2013 | Reply
My biggest question is, are the packers going to coddle Flynn and taylor the plays that fit only him, or, open the playbook and ride his arm for a win?
Either way he has to earn his keep
By Rob Tolstoy on Dec 6, 2013 | Reply
Pack can lose this game and still make the playoffs easily. It's not a must win by any stretch. Really bugs me that everybody has called each of the last 3 games must wins when they haven't been. Get real, learn some basic arithmetic .

We have to wait till next year . Get every one back and keep them healthy . Get a good draft and maby a free agency qb. And offense lm. Then the pac will be back. Also look for a defensive quo ordinator ?.
By PREACHER on Dec 7, 2013 | Reply
@ Rob Tolstoy You are not very smart when it comes to doing the math! Packers NEED to win out to have ANY chance of the playoffs!!! They are 1 1/2 games back,Detroit must lose 2 and the Pack must NOT lose any more games. Green Bay has Dallas and Chicago yet to play. There is NO wildcard team coming out of the NFC NORTH. So it winning the division,or watching ( my pick,DETROIT) IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.

Why would you think that people who don't have enough self reliance to get and hold a job would be successful running an "employee-owned factory"? If government regulations against hiring people wee removed many of these people would be hired and they would have a chance of gaining the experience they need.

Wednesday afternoon a group of very special kids had the chance to do some Christmas shopping in Spokane Valley at Target and each one with a very different kind of personal shopper.
Armed with gift cards and their own personal escort, 14 kids took to the aisles of target this afternoon to do a little shopping. The kids are part of the Salvation Army's Youth Program and for the past couple of years they have teamed up with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office for some last minute Christmas shopping, not only for themselves but also their families.

Best known for the hit "Rescue Me," Bass retired from music to raise a family with trumpeter Lester Bowie.
Soul singer Fontella Bass has passed away at the age of 72.
The "Rescue Me" hitmaker died at a St. Louis, Mo., hospice center on Wednesday after suffering complications from a heart attack.
The star, whose mother was gospel singer Martha Bass, began singing in a local choir when she was just six years old and she later joined her mom on the road as she toured with the Clara Ward Singers. Bass signed to Chess Records and released two collaborations with Bobby McClure – "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing" and "You'll Miss Me (When I'm Gone)" – in 1965, before finding global fame with the smash-hit "Rescue Me."
Video: Fontella Bass performing "Rescue Me"
She followed that with the hits "Recovery," "I Can't Rest" and "You'll Never Know." Following the release of her second album in 1972, Bass retired from music to focus on her family with her jazz trumpeter husband Lester Bowie.

Along with fame traditionally comes fortune, and for most of those who enjoy the privileged life, the new money opens them up to a world where they can purchase everything that he or she has ever dreamed about. This was the case for the world renowned soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo when he began to collect fine examples of modern day high speed art in motion. However, due to the 24 year old phenom being offered an incredible $128 Million to move across the English Channel and play for the pride of Spain, Real Madrid. In order to take the next step in his career, the young Cristiano must clear out his inventory of right hand drive vehicles.
A few of the exotic cars going up for sale are a Bentley Continental GT Speed priced at £114,950 and a Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Tiptronic S that the footballer is looking to get £69,995 for. One of the more mundane automobiles that the Ron aldo has to give up in order to make the move is a turbo diesel Mercedes Benz C220 CDI for £10,795. Don't feel bad for multi-millionaire, because it is very likely that as soon as the young athlete settles down in Madrid that all of these cars will be replaced. Other cars in Cristiano's collection include a Porsche Cayenne , a Bentley Continental GTC , an Audi R8 and the infamous Ferrari 599 GTB .

Here I am in Sin City.
It was a four hour flight here,
Gazing through dirty windows at
Things I wish you could see too,
Because every long minute of that
impeccably long four hours
Was occupied by you.
Your arms
Your nose
Your shirts
Your smell
Your music
But you are on a long car ride
With her
And she fills your mind
past your ears
And out through your
tolerable hair.
Remember when you said
That I looked like her?
Well today,
I saw someone that looked like you
And I was hit by all
The pointless things you gave me
A clothespin
A blanket
Monday nights
A heart with
Density equivalent to
The hardest stone you can find.
But here I am.
And all I can see is the bright lights,
And how they shake like
They're hiding something bruised.

HAWKSVILLE - The Hawks' epic struggles on the road have been well documented this season.
From a fantastic start early in the season with wins over both Orlando and New Orleans to the end of the season, when the Hawks strung together gritty back-to-back wins (in Toronto and Milwaukee) to save their home court advantage fortunes, the Haws big hits on the road were few and extremely far between.
But if they're serious about taking this first round playoff series over the Miami Heat, the Hawks better make sure they've packed some serious swagger for Games 3 and 4 in the house that Dwyane Wade built.
Play like the fragile, shell-shocked crew that got trounced in four games in Boston during last year's series against the Celtics, and this series might end prematurely.
Show up like the supremely confident bunch that smoked the Magic and Hornets at the start of this season, and the control the Heat feel they have right now will disintegrate before the sun comes up Sunday morning.
I've heard nothing of from Hawks captain Joe Johnson or anyone else about a no-nightlife policy in Miami similar to the one the Wade and Udonis Haslem enacted for their teammates while in our fair city for Games 1 and 2 (granted, no one is certain the Heat lived up to that edict. But it sounded like the right thing to do at the time).
But if the Hawks need any reminders of how truly important this business trip is to their postseason fortunes … surely they don't.
ENOUGH ABOUT BASKETBALL, for a minute at least. And we are allowed to discuss other things, briefly, when they make us laugh or are ridiculous enough that we just can't ignore them.
This item qualifies in both categories.
As if things couldn't get any more ridiculous after the Spirit the Hawk fiasco from Game 2, that blasted bird is back in the news again.
He had his wings clipped by the organization Thursday evening. And this morning I get the news that Spirit is already "Tweetin" or whatever you call it when you spend too much time on Twitter.
In the pantheon of sports mascot disasters, Spirit's unauthorized in-game flight and the resulting public relations nightmare (seriously, Spirit rivaled the Miss California-Perez Hilton flap for the most ridiculous thing you've seen on the air the past few days) could only have happened here.
Honestly, can you see this stuff happening anywhere else but Philips Arena?
It's as tragic as it is comical.
WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT of tragic.
Has anyone seen the Hawks' bench lately?
Flip Murray scored 15 points on 4-for-15 shooting in Game 2 and the Hawks' reserves were still outscored 37-20 in that loss.
Both teams went four players deep into the bench in Game 2, but with far different results. Murray and his bench mates shot a combined 6-for-20 from the floor and managed just six rebounds between them. The Heat bench, led by Daequan Cook, shot a nasty 14-for-26 from the floor, including an insane 8-for-11 from beyond the 3-point line, and also grabbed 19 rebounds.
While studying the anatomy of the Hawks' defeat, make sure to include the disparity in bench production up high on the talking points list.
In today's edition of the SOUTH FLORIDA REPORT we have several items worthy of your time.
According to my man Mike Wallace of the Miami Herald the Heat is stealing a page from the Hawks' playoff book and trying to stay humble after a big win in the series. We'll see if they have better luck with that than the Hawks.
Wade apparently has more going on that just basketball, per the Herald. Of all the times to bring this stuff up … is there ever a good time for this stuff? Probably not.
My guy Ira Winderman from the Sun-Sentinel had some interesting statistical minutiae on his blog. In fact, he made several points that make even more sense a couple days after the game than they might have immediately after the game.
Former AJC staff writer Carlos Frias of the Palm Beach Post snapped me back from the silliness with this sobering story about Udonis Haslem and the tough time he and his family have endured and continue to deal with during this series.
THE LAST WORD today goes to blog regular niremetal, via Big Ray, who keeps the party jumping along with HB Ando on the Hawks Hack blog. When it comes to keen observations, no one does it better than you all (and I know it's time to move on to Game 3 but for a rehash of Game 2, this is it):
Since they were easy to miss, here's a compilation of my 4 comments about tonight's game -
1) Where's Mario?
2) Man. JJ bricks two free throws and Josh throws the ball into the seats on a breakaway. Clearly, clearly, clearly the focus wasn't there tonight.
3) That being said, if the Heat can only win if they shoot 58% from deep and have JJ on the bench with foul trouble for the entire third quarter (and he had NO rhythm when he came back from that), then the Hawks definitely can bounce back.
4) And finally…Marvin goes on a tear in the 3rd and Woodson decides to bench him for the rest of the game? WTF??
To respond to your bit about JJ…this was the ultimate in Woody asking him to do too much and him breaking down. He actually guarded Wade pretty [dang] well in the first half. Most of Wade's points when JJ was in the game came when either Flip or Mo was covering him; most of the rest came when Bibby switched onto him off a screen. But JJ eventually got into foul trouble. And Woody is so [darn] terrified of leaving a player with foul trouble in the game that he benched JJ for almost the entire third quarter. What the [HECK] is that about? Like most shooters, JJ needs a rhythm to be at his best. Benching him for a good 25 minutes of real time (even though it was just 9 minutes of game time) just iced him for the rest of the game. And then when JJ finally came back, it looked like Woody put him on Wade again while Flip guarded Cook (?!?).
He never tried putting Mario in to hassle Wade, even after it was clear that Mo and Flip were getting shredded and JJ was toiling and getting into foul trouble from having to chase Wade around screens.
And he benched Zaza right after he made a tough shot on one end and drew a charge on the other.
And here's the worst one. The one that makes the absolute least amount of sense. He benched Marvin after Marvin scored 7 points in the quarter on 3-4 shooting and didn't allow his man to score a single point for the entire quarter. Jones scored less than 1 minute after Marvin went to the bench, after Jones/Cook/Beasley had been held scoreless for the entire third period while Marvin was in. And Marvin was never seen for the rest of the game.
It makes no sense. None. NONE.
Pardon my French, but we are royally [screwed] if he can't show the ability to make in-game adjustments, because the Heat WILL go on at least 1-2 runs every single game.

Hawks better not lose this series. If so, Woody has to go. PERIOD! Dont give me that crap about how we've won more games every year under his azz. I'm tired of hearing it. I've never seen such an up and down team in my life. Whether it be in college, the pros, or high school. This group has been together for years now. They've got better on experience alone, but they should be better than they are, IMO. It's time to get it done Woody. It's 2nd rd or bust! Come on guys, you better step it up in Miami, because you gave away your home court advantage. Go Hawks!
April 24th, 2009
12:10 pm
I do expect the Hawks to win at least one of the next two road games. They have not suddenly become consistent because of the playoffs. This team is always up and down…or haven't you noticed.
It is very important to stop the Miami supporting crew from their roll. Wade will do what he does.
When has Woody been good at in game adjustments? He can come up with a plan between games, but I wouldn't bet a cup of water on his halftime adjustments or out of bounds plays with less than 5 seconds.
I believe that Bibby carries a case of cologne called Swagger. I am comfortable that we will go in there with confidence. Hopefully we can make better use of situational match ups. I do wonder about Marvin's health. I recall that folks with bad backs have a much tougher time when they cool down. Maybe it is harder for Marvin to keep coming back if he has been on the bench for awhile.
Joe Cool will ice the Heat this weekend.
Let's go Hawks.
April 24th, 2009
12:11 pm
Every game has to be played like you are going to win. In the after game analysis, if you are a Hawk, don't let it be said by or about you; that you coulda, shoulda, and maybe you woulda. Wade is good (and even better) when he has his back-up. Everyone of the Hawks has too be on their game from the coach(es) to the last man off the bench. Don't be the "trooper' at the Big Horn found with bullets still in your rifle. GO HAWKS!

home court advantage is only for game seven, it doesnt matter how you get there. this year as others have seen some falter coming out of the gate only to rebound, like the celts did last night. i expected this team to win a game in miami and still do. the sooner the better as if they wait too late then they are faced with the prospects of winning three in a row. we got to say right now it is best to concentrate on coming home with the series tied.

It's going to be very tough for Atlanta to steal one of these 2 games in Miami. The entire city is pumped, it's going to be ELECTRIC at the AAA with everyone in black.
I will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Mario West really that good of a defender? What other player(s)would you compare him to? Height?
I keep hearing, well if Miami can only win by shooting 58% then the Hakws are fine. Well, no one knows yet if Miami can or can't win that way, and it wasn't like Miami just barely won. It was very decisive. Sure, Atlanta made a late game run but that's always expected from the home team in the playoffs.
So in my opinion, Miami can shoot worse, and yet still win. The main factor is forcing the Hawks to play their brand of basketball, which is slow, grind it out, halfcourt basketball.
Don't get me wrong, Miami must bring their A game to win. But that doesn't mean the only way they can win is if they shoot lights out like they did on Wednesday. Insensity, defense, and dictating the tempo and style of the game are the key factors here.
April 24th, 2009
12:20 pm
Let's face it. 5 years in, Woody is who he is: A head coach who cannot make adjustments during the game, a head coach with no offensive system, and head coach who does not develop his bench. In my opinion, Woody is a really good defensive minded assistant coach. If we're concerned about him getting exposed now (by a rookie head coach), wait until we play Cleveland.
Another issue I have with the Hawks is when a player is hot, they dont look for him. Bibby was shooting well, and JJ refused to pass the ball before it's too late. Marvin can be hot, and he doesnt see the ball for a few possesions. I think it starts with the coach, but the players are to blame as well.
Adjustments I would like to see: Play Mario, give Marvin more minutes, run some plays through the front court early to see if we can get them going (maybe get JON a quick foul or two). We also need to run a couple plays to get JJ easy shots early. And obviously, we have to play defense, and run run run.
Maybe I'm expecting too much lol.
If we struggled with FT at home, I wonder how we will do in Miami with the crowd?
Woody and the players need to step it up though.

SEKOU wish you were in south florida great work!!!!! it seems to me that hawk fans are living in a fantasy,they dont want to believe they are in serious trouble,like i said give woody benefit of doubt on coaching plan,but at same time you have to be worried b/c he looks like he might not have answer,kinda like pick ur posion,next everybody want johnson to be something he's not which is elite,nba full of nice players but so few elite i.e. kobe d-wade,lebron in that order,johnson has be in league how long has he ever been that,i dont think so not night in night out, yea a game here a stretch there but not all the time,and finally the bench is much weaker than hawks fan realize evident by your stats of game two anybody can get points run fastbreak,but as you can see heat slowed the pace,now they have no option on wade,will keep fresh body with different abilities on jonhson to wear him down,live with what everybody else give which you really cant depend on,and keep them from fastbreaking and that's a win every nite!o'yea game 1 was to be expected but dont think t will happen agiam

aj, carry over. always thought that the hawk flying in was a lame idea. his appearance for sure didnt secure that folks would be in their seats for the tip off as fans here are notorious for being late or stuck in the "party room" as the game starts opposite to the players benches and below the premo boxes. as i commented on yesterday spirit was a severe distraction and an omen of things to come. besides i think they changed his venue to be flying in from a different vantage point is how one person next to me saw it. not sure, as i could never see him in flight anyway unless it was on the big screen. if they changed his flight routine then it is their bad as well. anyway it is stuff for the animal lovers to debate whether he should be there or not. no offense to the hawk, ground him. it is time to find another way to get folks in the seats and hollering.

12:33 pm
I usually dread watching the Hawks play on the road. I'm not sure how I feel about games 3 and 4, though. The Hawks have won in Miami this year, but that was before O'Neal and Moon, plus Beasley did not play in that game. It's going to be tough.
Tired of hearing about how the Heat were just hot in Game 2. A number of the shots they hit were open looks. If the Heat get those looks again tomorrow they will shoot just the same percentage, if not better. The D has to pick up.
I b#tched about the FT shooting all season long. You had to know that it would jump up and bite this team in the a$$ at somepoint.
Also, how will the Hawks respond to being in a tough spot? Last season they had a big game at NJ, late in the year with a playoff spot on the line, and were blown out. We all remember the beating that was put on by the Celtics in game 7. The Hawks did, however, manage to win Game 6, but were at home….
I really don't know what to expect. If I learned anything from the Game 2 debacle on Wednesday, it's this: The Hawks are still a bunch of headcases. You never know when they will have the mental ability to lock in on a game/situation or mentally check out like they did on Wednesday.
Josh Smith is right. They lose this series and this whole season was for nothing. The purpose of this season was to get the 4th seed (check) and get into the 2nd round. Fail to do that and the season was a failure.

Reality, I have to take your word for it. But this would be the first time that a city was "pumped" about playing the Hawks. And I must admit, I kind of view Miami is being indifferent to their sports. Marlins can't get 10,00 fans to show up when they're a top team. The U doesn't get much love. But again, you're there and I'm here, so I'll take your word that the city is abuzz with Heat-Hawks talk.
Mario is a very athletic 6′4″ super-energy guy. I think he won a dunk contest in college. He was a walk-on at GA Tech and an undrafted FA who came to Hawks camp and earned an NBA job by out-working everyone in the gym. He has one mission in life, to stop the opposing G. If there is a loose ball, he will get it or die/kill trying. Stray rebound? He owns it. His offense is restricted to lay-ups and offensive rebounds. If allowed, he will use up his 6 fouls in 12 minutes. He is likely the hungriest NBA player in the league. He treats every minute on the court like it will be the difference between his children going hungry, homeless and school-less and his kids having a comfortable life. He attacks offensive players like they're taking food away from his kids. I hope that provides a helpful description of Mario West. He can't stay on the floor for extended minutes but you will feel his impact during his brief stint.

What are you talking about? Your analysis of this series is very JV'ish. You simply paint the Hawks with the "they can only win when they run" brush and leave it at that….you work for ESPN? Try watching more than two games before you give your insights.
The Hawks can win when the game is slowed down. They just can't win when they allow millions of open looks, like Wednesday.
Joe Johnson not elite? You must not have seen the organization before he got here? Just because he does not pose for the cameras every two seconds (LeBron and Dwayne, I'm looking in your direction here) does not mean he is not one of the elite players. The guy works hard, keeps his mouth shut, and doesn't need his nuts sucked by ESPN and TNT to reassure himself he is a good player. I'm glad he is on our team. You continue rooting for the media darlings. And, try watching some basketball, for once, while your at it…

better shooter,better defense and is not bigger than everybody he pays against so yea d-wade is better right now,but you like espn give the kid the keys to the world, lebron is only player in recent memory not to win a ring to get so much pub. nobody said he wasnt good but dont give him everything hell he jus hit his first game winner what last year u must have man crush on him,besides kobe rise his game over the summer like he did d-wade on the defensive end,besides kobe, you mean to tell me you what lebron jumper over wade's for the last shot. be real

Who Died…? It's not sad. It's a process. The Hawks are building. Last year, it was make the playoffs. This year, have homecourt and advance to 2nd round. Next year, the bar will be set higher. By then, you will probably have a new favorite team. Let me guess…you have a Wade jersey, a Kobe jersey, and a LeBron jersey all lined up in your closet?
Again, you are a JV basketball fan. You really think your Heat are a threat to make the conference finals or NBA finals? Oh, wait….you probably have three other teams that you are a "fan of" on the back burner. No doubt that one of 'em are making the finals, right?

no my thoughts are grown man and obvious let them run they capable of 40 fastbreak points but if you slow them down and reduce that number to say like 14 to 18 thats 20 points lacking, and once you get them in a half court set with no clear cut go to guy it can be a problem, true bball head no johnson great player but he very well can disappear too,so he's not an elite player,and if u gonna double wade of course so one is open are u kidding me,if u guard him str8 up then you already know the outcome,i jus wish for once you would show confidence as a hawk fan and stop crying first the refs,now coachin, next players, even the bird got so blame,i mean what's next! see you expect to win but deep down inside you very nervous right now,o'yea beasley will dominate at home,so now who,s gonna check him

Sekou, thanks to responding to Big Ray. He had some excellent points, and you provided great feedback. Like O'brien said,
"Let's face it. 5 years in, Woody is who he is: A head coach who cannot make adjustments during the game, a head coach with no offensive system, and head coach who does not develop his bench. In my opinion, Woody is a really good defensive minded assistant coach. If we're concerned about him getting exposed now (by a rookie head coach), wait until we play Cleveland".
O'brien you nailed it.
Doc, you're right we have to win in Miami. The question is which Hawks team is going to show up? Here's another question Doc. If the Hawks refuse to run Woody's offense, do we blame the players or do we blame the coach?
I think we blame both, but I blame our point guard and bwaf the most. The point guard has to be the coach on the floor, and our point guard play has been very inconsistent. If you're not going to run the offense, Woody needs to put somebody in that's capable of running our offense. Honestly, I think Bibby would be better at the two guard; He's nice coming off those picks shooting his jump shot in rhythm. Don't get me wrong he played a great game one, but can we get that on a consistent basis. I just don't think so.

I am a Georgian living in Jupiter, FL so I listen to talk radio in SoFla all the time. The stations down here were all over Holman's call of the game the other night. They are requesting fans bring rubber chickens to the game to mimick Spirit the Hawk.

no i expect them to make second round but with a superstar anything is possible and at the rate you have the hawks progressing might as well root in 2011,all that talent hawks have in 2011 they will make finals my heat wasnt even suppose to be in playoffs let alone 5 seed but here we go with a favorable matchup with hawks and for you to think hawks are so superior to heat why all this chatter

Right on about Woodson's adjustments!!!! I remember him taking Marvin out of the game when he was the only one to have any success shooting in the first quarter. I figured it was because of lack of conditioning but he had shown NO signs of fatigue. Quite the contrary. Also, it occurred to me why did he not put Mario in the game to aggravate DW? Evans was abused by DW. It's not like they would miss his offensive output because there was none. If you can't shoot (the Hawks clearly sucked in game 2), you can at least try to keep the Heat from scoring and nothing else was working defensively.
As far as taking Zaza out of the game. Woodson has a much lower tolerance for mistakes for some players than he does for others. He has virtually no tolerance for any lapse made by Zaza or Acie. Usually one mistake by either and they are OUT!!!!

I do beleive the revfs were blowing quick whistles (Biased ones at that), but that's no excuse for our poor peremeter defense. It is encouraging to hear that the Heat didn't get to play to their strength, which is attacking the basket.
We always score enough points, this was really just a defensive breakdown. I am sure the hawks will be fine after studying the tape and fine-tuning their rotations.
Also, Our bigs got punkd' under the baske on wednesday. We will have to clean that up also.

Astro Joe,
Miami fans are indeed fair-weather, but when their teams are good they get behind them to the fullest. They get rowdy. That's just how it is in Miami. I don't like it, but at least they go all out when the team is competing.
The Dolphins are the aberration here. They actually have strong tradition with a huge and very loyal fanbase….all over the world.
The Hurricanes have a very strong loyal fan-base (which are all the fans currently going to their games). When they're good, then the rest of the city hops on. The orange bowl used to be INSANE when the 'Canes were competing for championships. Just insane.
The Heat do have a strong, loyal fanbase but it's certainly not as large or widespread as the Dolphins or Canes as Miami is afterball a football town…no doubt about it.
The Heat's fanbase really kicked off with the arrival of Pat Riley. He changed everything and made Miami actually matter in basketball. He brought in Zo, built contenders, and then did again after everything collapsed. The 2006 championship really brought the city together and made many die-hard Heat fans for life.
Anyways, Miami fans can get very passionate and loud when motivated. Think back to the Heat's 04,05,06 playoff runs. Those crowds were electric.
Having a once in a generation superstar like Dwyane Wade only adds fuel to the fire. Dwyane Wade is already challenging Dan Marino as Miami's favorite sports legend.
So yes, I can guarantee you the city "pumped" because their beloved D-wade and the Heat are back in the playoffs fighting. Don't matter who their opponent is (although if it's the Cavs next series, it will be extra crazy).

that's not true,with team full of 1st and 2nd year and rookies playing,outside of wade what do heat really have outside of promise, yes we expecting bigg thing for beasley,and if he was defensive ready which seems like he is now the he would be second best player on court which hawk has shown they can stop him he's getting everything he wants jumpers drives

Here it is and most who follow sports are aware of this, talent wins out in the end. Energy, excitement and even luck can push a team to some quality wins but the good "teams" usually win out. The Hawks have three things going aginst them. First, they are a below average basketball IQ team. All the physical talent means little when trip after trip down the court take bad shots and attempt bad passes. Josh Smith is a prime example of a low basketball IQ player. Great on talent low on smarts. Second, they are a poor freethrow shooting team. The give up probably 5-10 points a game at the freethrow line. Third, their coach is in over his head. Like the current Whitehouse administration but I wont get into that here. Woody seems like a good guy but far too much physical talent on this team over the past few years for them not to have accomplished more. However, running the coach out of town isn't always the right answer either. They have gotten better for 4 or 5 years in a row but looking at where they were coming from that isn't saying too much. If the Hawks get bounced in the first round and I believe they will I would try to land a free agent or two before I moved to fire the coach. I hate to bash on the Hawks because I am really proud of them this year but to deny the obvious would limit me as a fan. Good luck Hawks. Hope you prove me wrong? Oh by the way, Woody is far better than some of the other amatures we've had here that past several years "Terry Stotts" So, Woody thank you for being average I guess????

Lascho, and right you should. Haslem is the ultimate team player, competior and leader. The guy is a warrior, never complains and he's clutch. He will always be loved by Heat fans….he's 305 born n' raised.

Who Died? The East is extremely thin. Maybe the worst conference in all of pro sports. With 5 players on the floor at a time, 1 makes all the difference needed in what has become less and less of a team game over the years. Given the weakness of the East, it shocks nobody that the Heat are in the playoffs.

my thing is this die-hard heat marlins and DOLHPINS FAN,now like i said in playoff you need superstar we got that d-wadem, atlanta dont have that least in my mind, next bench is a must starting 5 wont always show up,and the bench for hawks is horrible,20-25 points aint enuff,and next tempo is key, u keep a team from the things they like to do and your chance of winning improve,that's why this is bad recipe for hawks!believe it or not you stand better chance of beating cavs than the heat for that reason alone bench the same

Too bad Spirit got grounded. Cause he was my clue as to what the outcome of the game would be. Wednesday night was not the only game that I recall Spirit doing his own thing. There was another game this season that Spirit did the same thing and the Hawks loss the game. I wish I could remember who the Hawks played my guess is between the Celtics, Magic, or Spurs. And it was at the end of the season too. So that makes two, if only he was allowed to fly a third time with the same behavior, then I could confirm or deny my stupidstition. I blame Spirit the Hawk for our loss. He didn't stick to his game plan and neither did the Hawks. I also blame the fans, the fans at game 1 was way more crunk than the fans at game 2. I didn't feel the energy/electricity that I felt on Sunday. We booed the heck out of Wade on Sunday and I think it threw his game off. But on Wednesday something was off and not just Spirit the Hawk and the team.
And I'm starting to get tired of people saying that we don't come to the game on time. When we leave home/work we are on time. By the time we get near the arena or at it, we have to contend with the freaking no traffic directing cops. Find a parking space. And then the slow let me search your purse, check your pockets workers, and then have our tickets scanned. And I have to mention the not so bright fans who clog up the aisle getting in one line when there are about five or six lines to get into the arena. It's enough to drive a sane person mad. Not everyone can get to the game early cause some of us are just now getting off of work, especially during the week.
Is it possible for the Philips Arena to get a no leaving the arena rule until half time. Because it's so irritating to have to keep getting up for people who wish to come back and forth the whole game. I'm like dang sit your behinds down you are ruining my game. I've missed a few exciting moments in the game because of people who won't stay seated. I got a solution, get an aisle seat. Everything about Wednesday' game irritated and aggitated me. And the loss to the Heat on our homecourt just made everything worst.
And what do you know, I got tickets to Game 5 and that's on a Wednesday night too! The Hawks owe us fans a win on Saturday. We got violated in our own house and I want justice/revenge. It's war time. I wanna see the Hawks taking this series personally.

ITER fusion reactor enters key construction phase.
The $20bn fusion reactor has entered it's first key phase of construction which involves pouring 15,000 cubic metres of concrete into a hole on the site in the south of France. The plan for ITER was born in 1985 at the Geneva Superpower Summit, the idea was to develop fusion energy for peaceful purposes because it's benefits are so great.
Construction first started in 2010, but has since fallen behind schedule, with physicists now wanting to start the first experiments in 2020, but not use any of the hydrogen isotopes until 2027. David Campbell,who is the project's head of plasma operation, said this: "Although there are a lot of uncertainties in fusion plasma physics and it will take some time to optimise conditions in the reactor, the work already done [in smaller experiments and computer modelling] makes me confident there are no show-stoppers to prevent us producing a few hundred megawatts of fusion power."

The End of the Great Moderation?
AbstractThe current financial crisis followed the "great moderation," according to which some commentators and economists believed that the world's central banks had gotten so good at countercyclical policy that the business cycle volatility had declined to low levels. As more and more economists and media people became convinced that the risk of recessions had moderated, lenders and investors became willing to increase their leverage and risk-taking activities. Mortgage lenders, insurance companies, investment banking firms, and home buyers increasingly engaged in activities that would have been considered unreasonably risky, prior to the great moderation that was viewed as having lowered systemic risk. It is the position of this paper that the great moderation did not reflect improved monetary policy, and the perceptions that systemic risk had decreased and that the business cycle had ended were based on other phenomena, such as improved technology and communications. Contributing to the misperceptions about monetary policy solutions was low quality data provided by central banks. Since monetary assets began yielding interest, the simple sum monetary aggregates have had no foundations in economic theory and have sequentially produced one source of misunderstanding after another. The bad data produced by simple sum aggregation have contaminated research in monetary economics, have resulted in needless "paradoxes," have produced decades of misunderstandings in economic research and policy, and contributed to the widely held views about decreased systemic risk. While better data, based correctly on index number theory and aggregation theory, now exist, the usual official central bank data are not based on that better approach. While aggregation-theoretic monetary aggregates exist for internal use at the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and many other central banks throughout the world, the only central banks that currently make aggregation-theoretic monetary aggregates available to the public are the Bank of England and the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. Dual to the aggregation-theoretic monetary aggregates are the aggregation-theoretic user-cost and interest rate aggregates, which similarly are not in official use by central banks. The failure to use aggregation-theoretic quantity, user-cost price, and interest-rate index numbers as official data by central banks often is connected with the misstatement that expenditure share weights move in a predictable manner, when interest rates change. In fact the direction in which a share will change when an interest rate changes depends upon whether or not the price elasticity of demand is greater than or less than -1. No other area of economics has been so seriously damaged by data unrelated to valid index-number and aggregation theory. We provide evidence supporting the view that misperceptions based upon poor data were responsible for excess risk taking by financial firms and borrowers, and by regulators at central banks. We also provide evidence indicating the poor data may have induced the Federal Reserve to underestimate the rate of growth of monetary services and hence to have fed the bubbles with excess liquidity unintentionally. We also provide evidence indicating that a similar misperception produced an excessively contractionary policy that finally burst the bubble. Many commentators have been quick to blame insolvent financial firms for their "greed" and their presumed self-destructive, reckless risk taking. Perhaps some of those commentators should look more carefully at their own role in propagating the misperceptions that induced those firms to be willing to take such risks. While there are many considerations relevant to the misguided actions of private firms, individuals, and central banks during the period leading up to the current financial crisis, there is one common thread associated with all of them: misperceptions induced by poor data disconnected from the relevant economic aggregation theory.

I had a ZX81 with 32K of memory and a full size keyboard attached. It still had to load the programmes through an old tape player though which took forever and would often take several attempts to load. It was a great machine to learn on and I created some great programmes.
The Codemasters games were my favourites - ATV Bikes and Super Stuntman amused and infuriated me in equal measure!
When I was at school (about 1968) we had an Olivetti Programma 101 (or something like that) which was really a programmable desktop calculator. About the size of a small suitcase! You could record key steps and it had primitive looping and conditional functions. Programs were stored on magnetic cards about the size of a punched card (if anyone remembers those!) As you might have guessed from my surname my first program was to calculate a (very approximate...) value of Pi.
Then I moved on to Elliot 803 and 4130 at University and ICL 1900 series at my first job with ICL. It took four men to wheel in the 512k memory upgrade for our 1900 machine - but it went like a train after that!
Happy days!
It was a VAX 11/780. Well, technically it wasn't mine, but it was the first one I used. I remember playing Empire on it rather too much. After that, the first computer I used at home was a Commodore PET 2002 with a massive 8k of RAM, and that horrible calculator-style keyboard. They've got one in the Museum of Computing in Swindon now :-)
My first PC was a Windows 98 custom built PC ,
Commadore 16, but the Amiga 500+ was may favourite computer growing up. I whiled away hours on championship manager, the simpsons, golden axe and the secret of monkey island. Paperboy was my favourite commadore 16 game.
