He sucks, BAD! Getting paid 10 mil a year to sit on his lazy a** and deliver 0-2 from the free throw line, is a liability on defense, and hasn't improved at all since... Bad thing is I don't think anyone wants to trade for a big guy that can't do much,except probably the Celtics, they need an inside presence, but they don't have to much to offer for him. He's playing like a bench C at Best. Thoughts?
Correction... about 11 mill a year.
They should give DJ a towel on every timeout to get rid of the Butter from his fingers.
Deandre and Bledsoe for pau gasol? Maybe he just needs a change of scrnary
Now that I think about it we overpaid for him because of the GSWs. I hate them even more.... Its a shame but we did match their offer. DJ has been a disappointment. He has not made any notable strides since his rookie year and his FT shooting has regressed big time.
No way would we help out the Lakers. Pau has regressed hard.
His defense has regressed more. Remember 2010-2011 when he was thrust into a starting role with Kaman down? He looked like a LEGIT defensive anchor that had some serious games of domination. Now he got paid and is a worse player in every way for 10 times the price. If the Clippers are smart they will package him with Bledsoe this summer and bring in a SG or SF of the future AND a veteran center who can actually play defense and hit free throws. I'd love something like Deng and Noah for these two but no way in hell we can get that.
I guess DJ is just a low bball iq player. I am not sure if he can even get much better at this point. It has taken him five years to even reach this point....
How about just Jordan for Gasol straight-up?
Bledsoe, Green, and Jordan to Utah for Jefferson and Burks.
I don't like Jefferson defensively
DJ is my dude but he SUCKS. This dude has everything but bball I.Q. And if we're gonna let go of DJ, we better get some really good center. Someone like Asik.
They should should try getting Javale Mcgee. I heard George Karl has some issues with him.
Agreed, but DJ isn't doing much himself.
They should should try getting Javale Mcgee. I heard George Karl has some issues with him.
Exactly. People keep saying blah blah defensively but DJ sucks ass defensively right now. Not to mention Turiaf, Odom and Hollins play solid defense off the bench. Jefferson is a guaranteed 15/8 or so even on this loaded team.
DJ doesn't need to do anything except rebound and defend the rim. He should copy Ben Wallace
Instead he's going to spend all summer working on his post game... only to have it vanish after 10 games AND come at the expense of improving defensively and on the boards. I'm sick of seeing guards like Klay Thompson manhandle this guy for rebounds.
21 minutes 1 point and ONLY 3 rebounds.
Now everyone knows why Vinny gives Odom more minutes. Cause DJ does not know how to block out, shoot free throws, catch or hang onto the ball.
Yea I'm done feeling sorry for DJ. I'm on the Joe bandwagon of... he can shut up and stop whining. He's the only player that's constantly pissed about getting benched and acts like a little wuss yet does nothing to EARN those minutes from the other players.
DJ needs to play like his hair is on fire. He's been too complacent lately- kind of afraid of making mistakes. Part of it is just afraid of making mistakes, committing fouls, etc., and then fearing getting subbed out. He can have a much bigger impact on the game, but it's just a matter of playing more with a sense of urgency and passion. Every player makes mistakes, but he needs to learn to keep up the aggressiveness all the time even if he just messed up. Also DJ needs to always EXPECT to get the ball when he is open. Too often he doesn't seem ready for the pass because, let's face it, he doesn't get it often.
But in general, if he plays with much more aggression, he would be way better off. Don't think too much and play with the instinct of GETTING THE BALL- whether it be rebounds or blocks, and I know he will do so much better.
If I was to get rid of DJ, I wouldn't want Pau, I'd rather have his brother. Because Pau would be even worse defensively against other centers...and DJ's pretty bad against bulkier centers. I mean, when Blake Griffin has to defend the other team's center man to man, something is wrong. Marc and his mid-range jumper would, in fact, be a perfect compliment to Blake's game, even if "lob city" would suffer slightly.
Not that it would have mattered regarding today's game against GS, but I'm starting to think a bulky 7 footer would be more advantageous than DJ at this point.
Gasol (Marc) is WISHFUL thinking, DJ's worth is as low as can be by my estimation, he's got a GIANT deal on his contract with like 3 more years, and he's playing like sht, not a good combination in the trade market.
15/8 or not Jefferson is one of the worst defensive bigs in the league. The Jazz are over 10 defensive rating higher with him on the court. He is worst than Boozer in terms of defense. Our defense would be absolutely butchered with this guy on the court and he will contribute marginally to our offense at best considering he isn't particularly efficient scorer.
Let me post this again for reference.
Al Jefferson, Jazz
On/off floor MIN DefRtg
On floor 1,046 108.1
Off floor 553 97.6
Diff. +10.5
Pau is a beast and he'll fit in well with this team. Lakers aren't using him correctly. This is the same guy that was dominating under browns Princeton offense and in the Olympics. I have no doubt that when gasol gets traded he'll average at least 17 and 9
Diff. +10.5
Black hole on offense too
Can someone tell me the last game where do made a meaningful contribution? His regression is just pathetic. He is a nice guy but he needs to realize that he is a huge issue for us. At this point I'd almost rather start hollins, he is taller, makes free throws and is equally Athletic. He also has a better attitude. I honestly don't think DJ is infinitely better. I met DJ in November and he truly is a warm, nice person. Great cheerleader, but he needs to remember how he played in the early part of season. That seems like a fluke now
Not sure if we can get Orlando to bite, but I do a DJ + Bledsoe + our 1st round pick for Afflalo and Vucevic ...but don't think any major trade will happen till the off season anyway.
That's why I was mad that the clippers didn't attempt to grab Howard during the summer. They basically traded Howard for afflalo. Howard and Bledsoe with a pick or another player would have been a great trade for the magic
People keep acting like Blake will have a meltdown but friends or not Blake wants to win. If we got much better without DJ I doubt his sadness would last for long. Although if DJ cares about staying with his best friend for his career he better wake up.
A beast? C'mon...He's definitely got game, but he's no beast on defense. He'll be owned by bigger, stronger centers in the league.
And when I said I'd rather have Marc...of course that's wishful thinking (to whomever said that). I'm using him as an example. A bigger guy who can handle the real beasts of the league would be preferable.
I like having an athletic front court tho...it is just tou. If DJ can give us 8 points and 10 re ounds, I'd be thrilled. He just plays stupid
If we gonna Mel a trade the best trade and only trade that guarantees us a title because defense ultimately win championships is Noah who not getting along with coach deng 20 points a game great defender way better than butler with cp3 on griffin on his team and another pg back nate robinson for Bledsoe tpe dj and butler everything matches and bulls wanted butler in the past they would love Bledsoe and dj to make them younger lower salary playoff and championship experience
Make * not mel
And when I said I'd rather have Marc...of course that's wishful thinking (to whomever said that). I'm using him as an example. A bigger guy who can handle the real beasts of the league would be preferable.
Ur listening too much to whiny lakers fans. They always blame pau! Lakers won back to back titles with pau on the post and Bynum playing limited roles. He's no Tyson chandler but he isn't boozer either on the defensive end.
We can't afford Gasol, he is very expensive, btw why is it that everytime the OKC loss, the next game we loss also. I just noticed.
I don't listen to Laker fans.
Pau Gasol 15 pts 12 rebounds in 25 mins
What're you, his agent? The last thing we would need is someone soft on defense against other centers.
What're you, his agent? The last thing we would need is someone soft on defense against other centers.
Not his agent lol. Who's the center that's gonna terrorize gasol? Jj hickson? Jefferson? Asik? Perkins? There is no center anymore
eventhough hes older, someone like KG would be a trade id consider. id trade dj to boston to get KG. KG would help this team out. idk what it would take to get him, but seeing the celtics are not going anywhere, they may take dj and a future first for KG.
I like this one too! Imagine KG making that retard Bazemore from gsw cry just by trash talking him
Gasol would be great next to Blake. Both are amazing passers, both are versatile as hell. Only problem is his contract and age. He's a solution for maybe 3 years.
I'd cry tears of joy if we got KG a couple years back but he's about to turn 36. Would still be amazing to have but would suck with him likely retiring in a year or two. He almost retired this year.
I like this one too! Imagine KG making that retard Bazemore from gsw cry just by trash talking him
kg would be a great teacher for bg. and hes a defensive presence still at his age. plus hes much cheaper than pau. dj's and kg's contracts match
kg would be great. hell, he wouldnt have to play huge minutes. he is just as old as duncan, and look how they both are still playing at a fairly high level
Heck I'm just thinking about the Nenes and Cousins of the league, or the front lines from teams like Memphis or Chicago. Not to mention Howard or Bynum (whenever he gets back).
I'll say this...Pau's offense, much like his brother, would be a nice fit for BG offensively. I suppose as long as we still have guys like Turiaf and Hollins to come in, I'd be okay with it.
Ugh. None of this would matter if DJ was playing to his potential.
I still have faith in dj... i think hea just in a bad stretch, he's not elite so that happens.... he started out the year playing great, i saw the improvement
One thing. Support the players on our team.
Not everybody is perfect. I think he made progress especially in the beginning of the season. Give the guy some credit, basketball is a team sport not an individual one. He scares players because they expect a block.
Look at our bench even DJ is playing bad we've enough subs to replace him. And i think he's a great locker guy and mix very well in the group.

WASHINGTON — After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.The article goes on to quote experts who say that this is a wonderful thing, except for the facts that the Hispanic immigrants are uneducated and do not vote Democrat often enough.
Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public on Thursday, while minorities — including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country's history.
It is not a good thing. The immigrants do not share American values, so it is a good bet that they will not be voting Republican when they start voting in large numbers.
Latinos, on the other hand, are squarely within their peak fertility, with a median age of 27, said Jeffrey Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center. Between 2000 and 2010, there were more Hispanic births in the United States than there were arriving Hispanic immigrants, he said.The NY Times liberals seek to destroy the American family of the 1950s, as symbolized by Ozzie and Harriet. The TV characters were happy, self-sufficient, autonomous, law-abiding, honorable, patriotic, hard-working, and otherwise embodied qualities that made America great. In other words, the show promoted values that NY Times liberals despise.
The result is striking: Minorities accounted for 92 percent of the nation's population growth in the decade that ended in 2010, Mr. Frey calculated, a surge that has created a very different looking America from the one of the 1950s, when the TV characters Ozzie and Harriet were a national archetype.
Instead, the USA is being transformed by immigrants who do not share those values, and who have high rates of illiteracy, illegitimacy, and gang crime, and they will vote Democrat when the Democrats promise them more food stamps.
Update: This post was criticized by two left-wing blogs, the Daily Kos and Right Wing Watch. Apparently they like it when the NY Times celebrates Ozzie and Harriet no longer being a national archetype, but they are upset when I express a contrary view. Why do they hate Ozzie and Harriet so much? Draw your own conclusions. I say that they despise the mere concept of a national archetype that extols traditional American values.
Update: Another blog responds:
Oh my God. They were TV characters! From 60 years ago! Yes, they may have been a "real-life" family, but they were acting! In a TV show!...It was the NY Times article quoted above, not me, that said, "the TV characters Ozzie and Harriet were a national archetype." And I did not say anything about forcing people into a mold. The liberal blogs hate that archetype, but they are not willing to say why.
The fact is that "Ozzie and Harriet" is a myth. America never really was like that. And it certainly is not now.
But it's the height of intolerance and oppression to complain that America is no longer like it was 60 or 70 years ago, and try to force people back into that mold.

The chief officer of a major Savannah River Site contractor believes that as long as it has a "great customer" in the U.S. Department of Energy, it is "here forever."
URS CEO Martin Koffel said this week he feels everything is going to be fine despite the budget constraints as a result of sequestration and as long as the right political decisions are made.
"We have to be careful that budget cuts and sequestration don't delay critical missions. We have to remediate," he said.
URS and Savannah River Remediation have held the liquid waste contract at SRS since 2009 and are tasked with operationally closing 22 waste tanks over the course of its contract. Most recently, Tanks 18 and 19 were closed in October.
"With the operational closure of these tanks, we have witnessed one of the nation's most substantial nuclear waste tank cleanup efforts," Savannah River Remediation President and Project Manager Dave Olson said at the time.
Koffel was in Aiken on Thursday, visiting with employees and community leaders, such as Aiken Technical College President Dr. Susan Winsor. He also delivered the commencement speech at USC Aiken's graduation on Thursday.
He said he adores Aiken and is pleased with what URS is accomplishing.
"We have a great customer in DOE, a great workforce and a pro-business climate," he added. "There is no better place to work in the world than at SRS."
URS Global Management & Operations Services President David Pethick said business is predictable in that there will always be opportunities for the contractor to bid on projects. No incumbent sites are at risk, he said.
Global Management and Operations Services Business Group is headquartered in Aiken.
"We are running a global business from here," Koffel said.

Time for another confession, I really struggled last week to actually do any genealogy. I blame two things for this:
- The warm summer evenings, perfect for walking or sitting in the garden doing nothing.
- I can't decide what to do next.
I need to stop beating myself up for not doing any family history, but I really feel that I should be doing some research, but haven't been able to pinpoint what I want to do.
I did a bit of work around the MITCHELLs and Exton, Hampshire but I just couldn't get enthused about it, which disappoints me. I fear all that time organising files and folders has spoilt my appetite for research.
I do have plan though for kick-starting my research, and that is in part because of the Capital Ring walk on Saturday. I have given myself a challenge, to find out why my grandfather was at school in the London Borough of Greenwich between 1917 and 1924, and when did he come back to Sussex after he finished school.
I will explain more about this challenge later, but for now I think I have settled on three projects to concentrate on, which is more than enough for the time being, and allows me some flexibility to take on other bits and pieces as they turn up.
The three projects are:
- Finish off my research into the GEERINGs of Hailsham, Sussex.
- Investigate and write about the life of William Joseph Henry BATEMAN of Victoria, Australia.
- Find out why my grandfather Charles Percy GASSON was in Greenwich, London.

Dear Gary sacks,
Please no Dwight Howard. We already have a no heart center who can't shoot ft's. let the fakers keep his sorry contract .
How'd that end up working out? That's the perfect example, Malone was coming off a 20ppg 8reb 7ast season and he joined with Shaq who dominates the paint and Karl Malone that year was reduced to 13ppg.
That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
I stand corrected.
whoever says that DH is slightly an upgrade over dj is crazy. When has dj ever had a 40+ game? or a 20+ rebound game? when has dj ever been a Defensive player of the year? or a consistent allstar? this guy is way above dj, not even close.
He had a 20+ rebound game against the lakers 2 or 3 yrs ago lol
but yea DJ is incomparable to dwight.
We could see three Clippers starting the All-Star game next year if this happens. Not sure if it's best for the team though.
but yea DJ is incomparable to dwight.
yeah I forgot about that game lol but 1 game is nothing. DH has done it consistently until last year . I just don't understand why some people act like DJ isn't far off from him haha some clipper fans overvalue our players way too much
That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
yeah I forgot about that game lol but 1 game is nothing. DH has done it consistently until last year . I just don't understand why some people act like DJ isn't far off from him haha some clipper fans overvalue our players way too much
i know lol i was jus playin. DJ's trash considering his contract. he'd be a great backup for 3.25mil tho
The only difference between DJ and Howard is that Howard is a better rebounder (Which allows Howard to capitalize on second chance points thus having a better average than DJ) and a defensive presence.
Can DJ become a better rebounder and defensive presence? Absolutely but the Clippers must invest on a personal coach for DJ and get a defensive minded coach (Jerry Sloan, Stan Van Gundy, Nate McMillan) to utilize DJ better than VDN.
If the Clippers pursue a better center or decide to trade DJ than my vote would be for Cousins... This kid is a beast, in need of some veteran leadership and guidance, but a definite beast.
1) You can build an entire defensive system around Dwight's abilities
2) Contrary to the common criticism, Dwight can score in the post, he just doesn't look pretty doing it.
3) Dwight draws attention and opens up the floor for shooters, Jordan does not
That basically covered Dwight being a vastly superior individual scorer, Dwight being a much greater impact defensive player, Dwight being a much greater impact offensive player outside of his individual scoring.
So yea, if DJ became a minimum 18/11 go to post option who could anchor a defense at a high level, but below DPOY level, and draw a lot of defensive attention which opens the floor for his teammates, then yea, the only difference would be Dwight being better than an 11 RPG guy as a starter, and being a higher level defensive presence.
Right now there's a great gulf between their impact on the basketball court.
Call me when DJ can average the equivalent of 27 pts, 15.5 rebs, .667 TS% with a 113 Ortg in a 6 game series playing 43 MPG. 5.5 tov/game or not, still very good offensive rating. Also helped anchor the Magic in holding their opponent to a 100.3 Ortg.
Based on your assertion that the only difference is 2nd chance points, rebounding and defense, DJ should at least be able to do 19-20 pts / 13 Rebs / .600 TS% in 43 MPG in a playoff series and help hold opponents to better than the atrocious >113 pts/100 that both SA last year and Memphis this year dropped on the Clippers.
DJ's contract makes things tough. I was hoping by now that he would have improved enough to have been able to earn the contract that he signed. If DJ is kept around, I think the Clippers really need to go hire Bill Laimbeer or Patrick Ewing to work with him constantly.
It's funny, but I remember being concerned when we traded away Kaman and went with DJ. It's a moot point but considering Kaman has not had heavy injuries the last couple of years (wish that would have een the case when he was a Clipper) would we have been a better team the last couple of years if he was our center? I was just thinking about it.
I definitely agree with you on that one. DJ is great and is my favorite Clipper at the moment but he really hasn't shown me the improvement I expected out of him, hopefully he makes huge strides in his defensive and offensive game this off season. As far as D12 to Clippers, I'd absolutely hate that and would love for Gary Sacks to slap whoever suggests it
I talked to a LAL fan and he's been smoking crack
! LAL doesn't want Howard, CP3 and D12 will sign with Dallas to play with Dirk because Cuban will spend$$$. Sterling is cheap (even when I mentioned he was willing to go over the cap he still didn't relent. Even though Pau's contract is $20 miil they won't amnesty him but amnesty Metta because they can feature Pau next year. In one year after Metta, Kobe and Pau are gone the LAL will be back
F*ck me running. It would be easier to do that than for any of the above to happen.
^Don't see how a Faker fan can afford crack with the price of their tickets and all..............
Meanwhile back in the jungle
D12 and CP3 are free agents and can sign with whom ever they choose. Sign and trade won't happen even if it were doable.
DJ is garbage. With D12 we would have beaten Memphis. BG and D12 can coexist if BG's jumper is close to 40%, his FT shooting is 75% and his ball handling improves. BG has had triple doubles. Imagine a pick and roll with BG and D12. BG taking his man or passing to CP3 or D12 or Willie in the wing.
CP3 is going nowhere. His State Farm Commercials easily make up for any loss he will take. He couldn't do it anywhere else and his Comm'ls are a HUGE hit. If he went to LAL the general public would consider him a scum bucket.
Where else would D12 want to go? Remember he didn't want to go to LAL and now they suck more. The only alternative is Houston. Hardan is better than any of our SG's but CP3> Lin. BG > whoever.
$18 mill. $20 mill. The $2 mill is chump change. When you figure D12's endorsements and with Lob City they will be there, it's financial wash for any $$ he loses in salary. D12 is a good looking articulate guy. He can conjugate a verb and every other word isn't MAN. Chick appeal. In a previous post I mentioned how I showed a female friend the clip of BG jumping over the Kia? All she could think of was that he was handsome and wished she could introduce him to her daughter $$$$ D12 $$$
I bet if I showed her a clip of D12 she'd have $exual Fanta$ie$ a$ well
Unfortunately 5 yrs ago we would have traded DJ for EJ. Lopez and who ever and taken a loss. Then signed D12. Then unload Lopez. Pick up Pierce? Maybe? LAL had a $100 mill payroll but won a ring.
Lob city is back with D12 and BG. That means $$$ and endorsements.
CP3/ Wayans
EJ, Jamal
Pierce, Matt
BG, Brand
D12??? Kaman/or Lopez
5 years ago we could have pulled the trigger and we would have made BANK
Bledsoe and Willie should start somewhere else. They go. Hill and Billups go. They will embarrass themselves. Hill played in how many games? Willie was better than Chauncey
We will have to eat it for 2-3 yrs but it will be the best team in the league
Dropping my crack pipe.
Start Willie. Try to dump Caron.. Get rid of Billups and Hill (I cry bitter tears but Darwin's Rules)
If we're willing to eat it
Pierce or Butler/ Matt
CP3 Malik
Sloane or VDN (Sorry)CB assistant coach. Would like Gentry.
Betting Howard ends up in Texas for one of those teams not named The Spurs.
The more I think of it we are a viable option, a real viable option if we can dump the Texas Turd. Why would he go to the Rockets if he can come here? I always considered Houston his number one alternative but why? He once said that he wished LAL had the comraderie that we do. ENDORSEMENTS Lob City will do that. Remember BG sells out visitors' arenas. Imagine D12 AND BG
Lawler said BG is a Gym Rat. That means a much better game this fall. If BG can become a Streach 4 "Oh Me Oh My"
With BG as above we can beat anyone. Now D12 can guard Gasol. He can also run (I hope) The more I think of it this is a No Brainer
How much $$ would DTS make from D12 stuff?

Daryl Morey's master plan may be coming together after all.
According to a CBS report, free agent center Dwight Howard is no lock to re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers and is most intrigued by playing in Houston, where All-Star guard James Harden led the league's youngest team to the playoffs, where it was eliminated in six games by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"With six weeks to go before Howard becomes an unrestricted free agent, the team that is said to intrigue him the most is the Houston Rockets, according to multiple people briefed on internal conversations surrounding Howard's free-agent decision," CBS reported. "The Rockets have a young star, James Harden, who has proved himself worthy of playing the leading role for the franchise; a budding 3-point shooting threat in Chandler Parsons; a defensive-minded coach in Kevin McHale; and Omer Asik, the kind of 7-footer Howard is believed to want next to him in the frontcourt."
If this is true, it gets the Rockets' roster as close to a championship contender as they have been in Morey's six seasons as general manager. The Rockets aggressively pursued a trade for Howard last season, but at the time had a bit of a motley crew for a roster, one that didn't include Harden (or, for that matter, Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin).
With Lin, Harden and professional pest Patrick Beverly, Houston is strong in the backcourt. With Asik, it has one of the league's best interior defenders and in Chandler Parsons it has a versatile small forward who is grossly underpaid. The Rockets' biggest weakness in 2012-13, when they were the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, was a lack of reliable scoring on the block.
Howard, of course, would help tremendously.
Houston needs to clear some cap space, but that won't be a problem. The biggest question is, "Does Howard want to play in Houston?" and it sounds like the answer is, "He might."
Ramona Shelbourne tweeted that sources say we will NOT pursue Howard...
Kinda sucks yet feels like a relief at the same time.
Wow, best news of the day. Great way to start the week!
we dont have a gm. vinny was a semi gm last year and he's no longer under contract. so yea we cant pursue anyone. who's gonna pursue him? sterling LOL
I can see why they wouldn't trade pau, he is a HUGE expiring, just like Kobe Bryant.

The 95th Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce Dinner offered attendees a night of dining and music as well as spotlighted a few shining stars in the community on Friday night.
Betty Ryberg was named Woman of the Year, and Lionel "Smitty" Smith was awarded Man of the Year.
Wayne's Automotive and Towing Center received the honor of the Small Business of the Year, and Shaw AREVA MOX Services was announced as the Large Business of the Year.
The night was filled with smiles, laughs and even a few tears.
Betty Ryberg
Ryberg, who was described as energetic, enthusiastic and someone with an infectious smile by the Chamber, was greeted by her grandchildren when she came up to receive her award, which made her eyes start to mist.
She excitedly hugged Chamber members who were presenting the award and thanked everyone profusely. The organizer of one of the area's biggest events, "Dancing with the Aiken Stars," was overwhelmed by the award.
"One of the biggest supporters I had was Greg (her husband)," Ryberg said. "I'd ask him, 'Is this crazy? Is this idea crazy?" and he'd say, "If you love it, everyone else will love it."
Lionel "Smitty" Smith
Smith, described as a modest man and a class act with a big heart, was quite humble when he received his award.
The man who opened Lionel Smith Ltd. was also greeted by his triplet granddaughters who all gave him a big hug.
He said he was absolutely surprised that he was named Man of the Year and jokingly said there wasn't much left to say following Ryberg's award presentation.
Too Much Sylvia, which performed throughout the night, played ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" in honor Smith for his years of offering fashionable men's clothing in his downtown store.
Large business of the year
Shaw AREVA MOX Services, which has been in this community for more than a decade and has approximately 2,300 employees, received the honor of Large Business of the Year for its generosity in the community through donating to various nonprofit organizations as well as having a significant impact on the local economy.
Small business of the year
Wayne's Automotive and Towing Center was named Small Business of the Year because it has offered a variety of quality services to the Aiken community for more than 25 years. Known for its "Heels on Wheels" female-friendly car maintenance program, the business has had the ability to find ways to address the needs of its customers.
Aiken's future
Arthur Buzz Rich, the 2012 Chair of the Chamber, was also given an award for his years of dedication and service to the organization.
Several Chamber representatives spoke before the awards were announced.
Stephen Wilson, 2013 Chamber chair, said many steps are being taken to address the future of Aiken.
One of those steps was to create a Blue Ribbon Panel that is looking at other communities to see if there are any themes in their success that are missing in Aiken. Those findings are scheduled to be released in August.
Rich praised the Chamber for such accomplishments as influencing amendments in the proposed Open Space Element that the City of Aiken has been working on and for the establishment of the Aiken Young Professionals group.
Rich said that there were two types of people in Aiken – those who were smart enough to move here on their own and those who are here by chance. He's one of those who moved to Aiken with his parents when he was 4 and said he was wise to stay.
He has been impressed by a community always trying to improve itself and encourage more people to get involved in any way they can.
Playing on Chamber President and CEO J. David Jameson's locally-famous quote, Rich said, "If you're smart enough to live in Aiken, you're smart enough."

Thank you Randy and Chuck
@Chuck: Can we discuss someday a development of biosensors?
Very interesting session! smart - yesterday, intelligent - today, super intelligent - tomorrow.
Smart sensor - means sensor with activity in it to indicate its good or bad state via some communication protocol.
Hello from Oregon
thanks randy
Interesting that on this week I dont see historical tracking as a feature of what is considered smart in sensor technology
Reviewing the week late again
Thank you, Randy!
@Chuck - integrated with mcu (and n/w interface)
@Chuck - not familiar with IEEE 1451
Great to have access to the recorded sessions...
Missed the live lecture...
Thanks Randy and Chuck. Today was interesting and can't wait for the next two sessions.
have not designed any products using smart sensors.
"smart sensor" to me means something that has advanced features such as self calibration, signal processing or built-in tests. usually "smart" means integrated uC of some kind.
not aware of IEEE 1451 until today's session.
thank you Randy,
designed sensor apps for temp, voltage, curent, presure, humidity, ligh monitoring.
interested in sensor compensation, linearization, calibration and self disgnostics
finally from miami...
I suggest " Industrial Control" as another topic
Thanks Randy; another excellent presentation.
Are smart sensors multisensing?
If I well understand, Smart sensor is a combination of sensor and actuator. Do I have a good understanding?
On slide 17, what does CMC stand for? Is it a memory?
Missed the live presentation but followed the archived one. Another excellent webinar! Thank you Randy and Chuck!
Gettting down to basics.
smart sensors are coming every where.
Thanks Randy and Digi
This is really Good Stuff!
Way to go.
Really good... thanks Randy
thanks audio cut off on live recorded fine thanks looking foward to buy book need the mcu parts thanks
Thanks Randy. Great series so far
It looks like that is going to do it for today.
Thanks, everyone.
@Chuck: I wrote an I2C/SMBus interface to a smart battery, which had a TI chipset for command/status info. It integrated sensors for temperature, voltage, current, as well as higher level status like State of Charge (integration of the charge/discharge status).
@Chuck: no smart sensors, just dumb sensors to which we add some smarts (generally the lower "rungs" of the "ladder" that Randy showed in his slides).
I like the presentation, but the audio cuts off many times.
I'm told that the audio dropped out for many of you late in the session. For anyone who's interested, I'd like to repeat a question I asked at that time: Have you designed products that use smart sensors and, if so, what kinds of products were they? Thanks.
Possible topic; industrial and automotive motor control
Thank You, good session
by plug and play, does this mean the sensor output would be the same from device to device.
That was the intent. A user could replace one sensor with another from the same or even a different manufacturer and the sensor had data regarding its calibration and other aspects that would have prevented it from being used in a system without additional effort from a knowledgible user. Industrial applications were the initial target of 1451.
thank you!
battery 'fuel gauge' and charging
A session on "Sensor Compensation" ie. Calibration, Linearization, Signal Integrity and Disgnostics as per the Microchip slide from todays deck.
Would like to know more on how they control and measure Li-Ion battery on EV vehicles.
@Chuck: I think a case study of the development of a smart sensor from concept (including the physics of the base sensor), through the design trades, to manufacturability issues, to deployment, would be interesting and helpful. This would perhaps some of the "hands on" flavor of Carol Lenk's latest LED session, or along the lines of some of Clive Maxfield's sessions such as the telescoped history of electronics he did for us a while back.
Good information today Randy, looking forward to tomorrow.
Topic: Batteries & monitoring and charging.
embedded development for sensors. What is the best solution?
Possible sensor topic: signal conditioning, using 16 bit and higher A/D converters
energy harvesting....is the coolest thing...
Thanks, fwjava.
@Randy & @Chuck- Thanks for the presentation.
Thank you!
Thank you for today's lecture Randy
Thanks Randy!
For future subjects, what agout sensors/actuators integration?
Maybe a few tutorials on things to watch out for when integrating analogue to digital.
@chuck- More information on what sensors are available and some insite one what types of sensors may be under development.
Thanks. Bye.
Thank You Randy.
Thanks Randy
More on wireless mesh networks.
dedicated session for harvesting transducers
Thanks Randy and Chuck.
Thank's guys!
I look forward to energy harvesting tomorrow.
@rruther2: On my audio widget, it is the red triangle on the left end (in the leftmost box) of the widget. When you are actually listening, it is replacing by two vertical lines, presumably indicating Pause.
Thkx Randy, hope to hear you tomorrow.
Thank you Randy, Hear you tomorrow...
The JW Player 5.6.1768 need IE to Temporarly Allow Popups.
Smart = $
Intelligent = $$
where is play?
There is a danger that "Green" products are under the control of someone "who knows better" and will switch off thing you might rely on.
on now thanks
Green is so overused.
Refreshed twice and it came back.
Hmmm... the Blog Talk Radio widget paused itself. I pressed the Play button on its left end and voila! I have audio again. Same here.
That worked
re push the play button on the media player strip works now
ditto to the audio dropout using chrome
refresh + press play fixed it...
keeps dropping out here also. have to refresh browser to get it going again, repeatedly
Audio back after refresh. Thanks.
refresh and press play again
Note that I did not need to refresh the page to recover. I just pressed the play button on the widget.
Its back
ok got it
same here, refreshed page and it came back
Audio back on
Hmmm... the Blog Talk Radio widget paused itself. I pressed the Play button on its left end and voila! I have audio again.
no audio
no audio here either
Audio dissapeared.
Reload web page: audio resumes.
push play and it is back on
Thye audio is lost!
Re-poke the webpage
lost audio here
Lost my audio.
no sound
just lost audio here too
audio just cut out
lost the audio
Lost audio.
Audio just cut out.
Just lost audio.
FYI - audio good here
Signing out ... audio is shot. Thanks, Randy, we'll check in tomorrow.
IEEE 1451.4™ MANUFACTURER ID PUBLIC LISTING at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/manid/public.html
have you looked at the Freescale Xtrinsic sensors?
Smart sensor: plug & play, self calibrating, configurable
@chuck, plug and play, swappable with autoconfiguration, network accessible
I thinka "smart" anything should be aware of being connected to a network and BIT, self-cal, accepting commands and outputting data without human intervention - "plug'n'play".
Good morning everyone
mine isnt too bad with cracking but it does stop and start, but no lag.
A smart sensor simply learns information over time, or has that learned data available to make desicions .
Q. What makes the "smart sensor" smart question smert...
A. connectivity.
network health, packet health, self routing mesh network ability
A compensated sensor with digital communications capability.
Same definition as was given.
hit refresh on your browser
Sound breaking up - even with Chrome
Late, but hi to everyone
Any idea on the cost of the standards?
Load cells from Transducer Techniques use TEDS; saves me a lot of aggravation because it automatically scales the readout. I just plug in whichever load cell I'm using and the display and RS-232 output read directly in pounds with whatever resolution I selected previously.
accelerometers interfaced with NI cRIO module
we have our own AGH-7500 hydrophone which is a TEDS device - electronic data sheet shows capacitance / frequency response / calibration date / etc.
I haven't encountered any.
IEEE 1451 is new to me.
Yes, wireless eKo Nodes used in agricultural field environment monitoring via web based hosts.
No. First time being aware of such a specification.
@chuck, no, haven't heard of this standard
not yet.

A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting and Removing Annuals When planting annuals, begin by preparing the soil. Rototill rotted compost, soil conditioner, pulverized bark, or even builders sand into the existing soil and rake it smooth. Annuals grow quickly, so space them as recommended on plant tags. Remove plants from their containers or packs gently, being sure to keep as much soil as you can around the root ball. If the rootball is tight, loosen it a bit by gently separating white, matted roots with your fingers or a pocket knife. Plant at the same depth they were in the containers. Gently fill in around the plants, providing support but not cutting off air to the roots. Water the plants well.
Through the season, be sure to fertilize for optimal performance. Take special care to cut back or completely remove any diseased plants, as soon as you see there is a problem. At the end of the season, be sure to remove all plants and their root balls. Rake the bed well to prepare it for the next season's planting. How-to : Pinching and Thinning Perennials Once you plant a perennial, it does not mean that you will enjoy years of maintenance-free gardening. Perennials need to be cared for just like any other plant. One thing that distinguishes perennials is that they tend to be active growers that have to be thinned out occasionally or they will loose vigor.
As perennials establish, it is important to prune them back and thin them out occasionally. This will prevent them from completely taking over an area to the exclusion of other plants, and also will increase air circulation thereby reducing the incidence of diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew.
Many species also flower abundantly and produce ample seed. As blooms fade it is advisable to deadhead your plant; that is, to remove spent flowers before they form seed. This will prevent your plants from seeding all over the garden and will conserve the considerable energy it takes the plant to produce seed.
As perennials mature, they may form a dense root mass that eventually leads to a less vigorous plant. It is advisable to occasionally thin out a stand of such perennials. By dividing the root system, you can make new plants to plant in another area of the garden or give away. Also root pruning will stimulate new growth and rejuvenate the plant. Most perennials may be successfully divided in either spring or fall. Do a little homework; some perennials do have a preference. How-to : Preparing Containers Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior. If growing more than one plant in a container, make sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the container. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper coffee filter placed over the hole will keep soil from washing out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If water runs off soil upon initial wetting, this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.
Prior to filling a container with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist. Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project is complete. Water well. How-to : Potting Indoor Plants Make sure that the plant you have chosen is suitable for the conditions you are able to provide it: that it will have enough light, space, and a temperature it will like. Remember that the area right next to a window will be colder than the rest of the room.
Indoor plants need to be transplanted into a larger container periodically, or they become pot/root-bound and their growth is retarded. Water the plant well before starting, so the soil will hold the root ball together when you remove it from the pot. If you have trouble getting the plant out of the pot, try running a blade around the edge of the pot, and gently whacking the sides to loosen the soil.
Always use fresh soil when transplanting your indoor plant. Fill around the plant gently with soil, being careful not to pack too tightly -- you want air to be able to get to the roots. After the plant is in the new pot, don't fertilize right away... this will encourage the roots to fill in their new home.
The size pot you choose is important too. Select one that is not more than about 1 inch greater in diameter. Remember, many plants prefer being somewhat pot bound. Always start with a clean pot!
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down and use screening on windows to
keep them out. Remove or discard infested plants, keep them away from
non-infested plants. Trap with yellow sticky cards or take advantage of
natural enemies such as predatory mites. Sometimes a good steady shower of
water will wash them off the plant. Consult your local garden center professional or county Cooperative extension office for legal chemical recommendations. Pest : Spider Mites Spider mites are small, 8 legged, spider-like creatures which thrive in
hot, dry conditions (like heated houses). Spider mites feed with piercing
mouth parts, which cause plants to appear yellow and stippled. Leaf drop and plant death can occur with heavy infestations. Spider mites can multiply
quickly, as a female can lay up to 200 eggs in a life span of 30 days. They
also produce a web which can cover infested leaves and flowers.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and remove infested plants. Dry
air seems to worsen the problem, so make sure plants are regularly watered,
especially those preferring high humidity such as tropicals, citrus, or tomatoes. Always check new plants prior to bringing them home from the garden center or nursery. Take advantage of natural enemies such as ladybug larvae. If a miticide is recommended by your local garden center professional or county Cooperative Extension office, read and follow all label directions. Concentrate your efforts on the undersides of the leaves as that is where spider mites generally live. Pest : Mealybugs Small, wingless, dull-white, soft-bodied insects that produce a waxy powdery covering. They have piercing/sucking mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Mealybugs often look like small pieces of cotton and they tend to congregate where leaves and stems branch. They attack a wide range of plants. The young tend to move around until they find a suitable feeding spot, then they hang out in colonies and feed. Mealybugs can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Isolate infested plants from those that are not. Consult your local garden center professional or the Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal insecticide/chemical recommendation. Encourage natural enemies such as lady beetles in the garden to help reduce population levels of mealy bugs. Pest : Whiteflies Whiteflies are small, winged insects that look like tiny moths, which attack many types of plants. The flying adult stage prefers the underside of leaves to feed and breed. Whiteflies can multiply quickly as a female can lay up to 500 eggs in a life span of 2 months. If a plant is infested with whiteflies, you will see a cloud of fleeing insects when the plant is disturbed. Whiteflies can weaken a plant, eventually leading to plant death if they are not checked. They can transmit many harmful plant viruses. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Possible controls: keep weeds down; use screening in windows to keep them out; remove infested plants away from non-infested plants; use a reflective mulch (aluminum foil) under plants (this repels whiteflies); trap with yellow sticky cards, apply labeled pesticides; encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden; and sometimes a good steady shower of water will wash them off the plant. Pest : Aphids Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Diseases : Blight Blights are cause by fungi or bacteria that kill plant tissue. Symptoms often show up as the
rapid spotting or wilting of foliage. There are many different blights, specific
to various plants, each requiring a varied method of control.

To be honest I was a little disappointed with last night's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? I must also confess that I still have no idea who Rupert Everett actually is (I obviously don't waste enough time watching TV and films), although I did miss the first couple of minutes which would probably have told me more about his career.
The story was more interesting to me than last week's episode, there at least appeared to be some proper research research going on, but my first complaint was that there were too many loose ends left dangling.
It appeared on screen that virtually no effort was put into finding out what happened to the wives of Frederick William Cunningham Everett when he sailed off into the sunset. I am sure some more research must have been done, but if the only searches were the two census searches that we saw on screen then I am not surprised that his first wife wasn't found.
It was almost as if they were leaving that avenue of research open for some audience participation, but they weren't quite bold enough to say it. I am sure there will be plenty of people online today looking for her, trying to prove they can do a better job than the show's researchers.
What really frustrated me the most were Everett's 'flights of fantasy'. He seemed to have a very vivid imagination and lack of hard evidence seemed to allow him ample opportunity to fill in the gaps. The informant on Frederick's death certificate "must be some old sailor hag", even though all he knew was a name (not even a first name just initials and a surname) and address.
I can't let the use of the word "navvy" go unmentioned. Someone please correct me if I am wrong but merchant seamen, or any other type of sailors, have never been called navvies. I always thought navvy was short for navigator, and that navvies were the labourers responsible for building canals and railways.
Two episodes into this latest series and it is starting to seem to me that it has reached the end of it's life. It will be interesting to see what the ratings say, but this avid genealogist is beginning to wonder if it is worth watching the rest of the series.

It was another productive week, although once again I didn't do what I had intended to do. Most of my family history time was spent re-visiting past research projects, mostly inspired by my brief foray into British Newspaper Archive.
Challenging times: Sorting out Patrick Vaughan's information
For the second week in a row I have failed to do anything about sorting out all the information I have about Patrick Vaughan. I think this is probably because organising and sorting is just not as interesting as doing new research.
I already know all the information I have for Patrick Vaughan and whilst I know I need to have this all in order before I do any more research, it is just not as exciting as doing the new research.
I think I should try to make an effort next week to actually get it sorted. If I leave it another week I suspect it will never get done.
Luther Trower, Henrietta King and Joseph Brinton
These three individuals are the main characters for one of the most interesting stories lurking in my family tree. It is a story that I haven't fully researched yet and I am hoping this year I will get around to telling that story.
I was reminded once again of this unfinished story by several newspaper articles, sadly the articles didn't provide any new information, but they did spark an interest again.
I have done a bit of work this week on tracing what happened to some of the supporting cast and updated my database. I think the story is probably worthy of a book, not a big book, but a book nonetheless.
For that I know I will need some more background material, old photos and new photos, but before I get too carried away I ought to sit down and put together an outline for the book.
Thomas Kinghorn – the mail guard
Another newspaper inspired piece of work, which lead to his Ancestral Profile blog post this week. It also lead me to re-visiting the life of my 4x great-grandfather and his connections with Carlisle.
There wasn't really any new research, just looking over what I already have and dreaming about the time when I get chance to spend some time at the Carlisle Record Office and what I would like to try to find out.
It occurred to me that unless I actually make plans to visit the record office it is never going to happen. No-one else is going to make those plans for me, I could wait for records to be digitised, but even then it might not be the records that I need.
I need to make some plans and do some research:
- How and when do I go there? and how much will it cost?
- What records do I want to check when I am there?
- Is it likely to be worth going?
- Would I be better off at the SoG Library or London Family History Centre?
I might try to work this out this week, the sooner I do it the sooner I might be walking through the doors of Carlisle Record Office.

To be honest if you'd said last night 5.1ip with 2 runs i think everyone would have taken that – not exactly a "commanding" performance, but kept us in the game long enough to get the job done, had he gotten out of the jam he'd have earned a solid victory. I'm still not convinced on Soriano, he's a closer, that's a mindset and when it's not a save situation it changes the game, don't get me wrong recently he's been good, but still a bit to prove. That being said, i can't think of anyone in the big leagues right now who i'd rather see on the mound than Robertson in the 8th, yeah he gets hit & walks a couple, but 82 strikeouts on the year is crazy and has a knack of getting out of jams too!
When you're Mariano often you get the close calls. I think he should thank the ump for that last one although there were couple that looked on the outside corner on the previous batter that the ump called a ball, so I guess it all balances out. A good win. A real nail biter though. How often do you see Mo throw 28 pitches in the 9th.
There's something about the Sox that scares Mo. I think he's intimidated by them because of their record against him. Don't see him walk a guy like Lawrie very often. Now he's got to face a tougher hitter. Hopefully this won't become another blown save for Mo against the Sox. We need this one badly.
Hope Tex is back for the Jays series. Montero had his chances tonight but didn't perform well. Tough series to start him in.
I still think the way Mo pitched tonight he probably deserves to be in the rotation more than Hughes who has been awful his last few outings. AJ has the experience where Hughes is still a young pitcher with a lot to learn.
We're here watching the last couple of innings intently. Don't want to leave the game at this stage. Hopefully Mo can pull this one out. The Sox hit Mo better than any other team. Hopefully he's got a good cutter working tonight.
Actually not a bad game from AJ, only 2 runs and 5 hits over 6. One mistake to Pedroia and that's the game so far.
Bad call by the umpire on a 3-2 pitch. AJ was upset and he had a right to be. Right over the outside corner. Now we're in a hole and turning the ball over to the pen. Somehow I don't have a good feel about this game either. We had our chances and men on base and didn't get them home. We're getting to the final 2 innings with Bard and Pabelbon again and the result is pretty certain.
The Yankees are killing themselves tonight. Bases loaded twice and nothing to show for it. Not getting RISP home has been a problem for the Yankees all year. I hope Tex is not going to be out for a coupleof games after that HBP. You could hear the crack as it hit the back of his knee. Unfortunately Cano hit it hard but right at the 3rd baseman. Yankees are going to have to get some runs soon or they're going to be down to the 8th and 9th innings again and you know wat that means.
Every rally dies. Montero up again with 2 on and grounds out. Tough situations for a young hitter to be in. But what's with Swisher? A real brain cramp. Was he not looking at the 3rd base coach for the signs and did he just go against them? I don't think I remember Swisher bunting before. I'm sure he has but it must have been a long time ago. Why would he bunt in that situation even if there were no outs? He's not a bunter. He is a power hitter and has a good run count. Long was all over him. And the players looked at him like he had lost it. Poor guy knew he blew it.
Pedroia is good but AJ gave up a double to Gonzales which threw him off and he gets behind 3-0 to Pedroia and then has to pitch strikes over the plate and Pedroia ends up knocking it out of the park. AJ gets into trouble when he pitches too many balls, when he walks guys, and the Home Run kills him. Again, the 4th and 6th inning have been the meltdown innings for AJ and here we are again in the 4th. Is it the guys see him 2nd time around and knows how he pitches and waits for AJ to get into trouble and then they hit their pitch. This is starting to come apart already for AJ, but what else did we expect?
no mixed games for us – the girls got field hockey!
there goes the lead, straight down broadway – can't do that with this lineup!
haha we used to play softball in high school, being that i am "vertically challenged" ye spot the catcher potential…
I don't know what we get other than most games are either on the Fox channel or the Sportsnet. Some are ESPN and others are YES. Tonight we have the Yankees announcers and commentators. Sometime we get the Sox channel and have to put up with the Sox commentators. Most of the time we don't get the Yankees games at all. The Jays dominate the channels. Usually if the Yankees are playing the Sox or are in an important game it's carried on the Sportsnet channel here.
playground kickabouts & the odd Boys Brigade game, truth be told i was never really any good but i was brought up with the mentality that you can run a bit so you play – it was just part of growing up. Don't play these days though – it's one of the things which is not considered a sensible move right now, especially some of the tackles my mates see as "fair" which make NFL hits look like a hug!
I'd have thought Henry might have been a bit busier on this side of the pond given the football transfer window closed last night where Liverpool were busy! Comic moment from Big Papi there with his "slide" – those are the times you replace the divot & hope the greenskeeper doesn't kick your backside over it!
No RGK, that's with any team but particularly the Sox because their top three starting pitchers are quality pitchers.
What's with Tex? He drives me nuts. He swings at pitches way out of the strike zone. He swings up on pitches which if he gets a hold of them he drives out of the park but often they just become pop ups. He really frustrates me as a hitter in clutch situations. Two men on base and he does nothing.
I said last night that i'd probably have held him back for the Blue-Jays, with respects to Morrow & Romero it would have been a much less severe introduction to the big leagues than Lester at Fenway.
To be honest i bet that kids head was racing all round Fenway in that at-bat, kinda struck himself out with strike 1 & the punchout, but considering it's his first AB and the bases were loaded you're really looking at that being a deep end baptism!
Too bad we only got 1 run out of that inning. We should have had more. If you don't get to these good pitchers early when you have them on the ropes, they can then settle down and shut you down.
Yes, RGK. We get it on Sportsnet up this way so can watch it on TV rather than Gameday. A whole lot better.
What a position to put a call up in his first at bat. Bases loaded and 2 outs. Too bad he didn't get a hold of the pitch he fouled off. It was a fast ball over the plate and he missed it. The last pitch was a ball but I guess it looked good and the kid was anxious to be a hero.
To be honest my Brother-in-Law was watching a game on ESPN last year which was a NESN feed and he commented that it wasn't fair that you guys got good looking women while over here on football (soccer) coverage we get the ex-pro's!
making Lester work in the first here, 36 pitches and he's still not out of it yet!
I wonder what inning Aj will choose to implode? I'm hoping he doesn't and has a strong outing for the sake of the team and the standings but based on his performances lately I'm not expecting too much. If he can ge through 5 innings and keep the runs down the Yankees mighthave a chance. Anyway, it should be an interesting night.
Hmm, apparently it deleted my post! The question's a bit unfair i'd say, but if i had to pick it'd be Heidi, a vast improvement on our Rhona McLeod on BBC Scotland's sports desk! (even bigger improvement on Raman Bardwaj on STV's😀 ) For the hotties it's definately on the weather girls – Cat Cubie can tell me it's gonna rain any time
Fingers crossed that AJ can atleast try to keep it close enough for the bats to do the job, looks like i'm joining Jerry, Don & Heidi on NESN for this one tonight

Host a Training
Hosting a Spinning workshop is a convenient way to get your instructors certified, keep them up to date with continuing education (STAR Points, ACE, AFAA and NASM credits available), and recruit new instructors from your community. Hosting is simple—your facility provides the space and the Spinner® bikes, and Mad Dogg Athletics will take care of the rest. The Spinning Instructor Training is the first step in the Spinning education program and to keep your instructors sharp, motivated, and on top of the industry, we also offer many continuing education workshops.
If you are already an Official Spinning Facility, please log into your facility account and request to host a training using the link provided. If you are not yet an Official Spinning Facility, then please complete our training request form. To speak with our Workshop Coordinator, please call (800)-847-7746 or send us an email.
How it Works
You have the choice of holding your own, exclusive workshop for your instructors or hosting a workshop that is open to the public. The cost of an exclusive training is $2500.00 and includes training plus materials for up to eight participants ($312.50 per person). Additional participants pay the regular registration fees. For public workshops, we'll promote it through our web site, emails and e-newsletters, and we'll also handle all the administrative efforts such as registering participants and sending a Master Instructor. Best of all, for host facilities with 12 or more Spinner® bikes, there is potential to earn complimentary workshop registrations, cash awards, and our newly added option, gift certificates!
Complimentary registrations: When 10 persons have registered, and paid in full, for an Instructor Orientation or continuing education workshop, your facility will earn one complimentary registration into that training (course materials included). With 20 paid in full registrations, your facility earns a second complimentary registration (Note: Complimentary registrations may not be saved for future workshops).
Cash award: A repeat facility hosting a Spinning Instructor Training, can choose a cash award, dispersed in the form of a check approximately 45 business days following the training, and are based on the above schedule.
Gift certificate: A gift certificate, good for purchases at Spinning.com, is our newest option for repeat facilities who host a Spinning Instructor Training. Gift certificates can be redeemed shortly after the date of the training and are based on the above schedule.

Guest Reviews:
"We had an amazing trip! Thank you so much for everything… we will definitely be recommending the Royal Escape to our family and friends."-Jessica
"We all loved the place. It truly was paradise!" – Kathy LeGrazie
The layout of the home was perfect……Homey for all 5 but also with the privacy that we needed as adults. The outside shower was mint, I used it most of the time. As with any rental home a couple things needed to be fixed and they were the same day we reported them.
Great service.
Great location….Walking to the strip for the young and a short drive for the not so young.
Some have complained about the early morning roosters…… I loved them….. a Key West tradition…….You're in Key West….. No worries man, just enjoy the sun and blue waters. – Marlee, NY

Caryopteris are covered with clusters of delicate blue flowers from late summer until frost. Provides hard to find midsummer color. Good drought tolerance reported.
Blooms on current season's growth, so prune hard in early spring after leaves appear to remove dead growth and encourage blooms. May self sow lightly. Rooted stems may be separated from parent and transplanted in spring. Attractive to butterflies and works well in containers. Avoid wet soils.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Now I'm going to be honest. I probably have less body hair than the average person. I don't need to shave my legs since the hair there is basically very fine and nonexistent. I likewise don't have a ton of underarm hair (I know, gross, TMI right?) but since my skin is so sensitive if I tried to shave the few hairs I did have I would get razor burn and ingrown hairs. Anyone who has done this to their armpits knows what I am talking about! Very unpleasant in an already sensitive area! Maybe I just don't have those mad shaving skills that girls who shave their legs everyday honed, but I was reduced to tweezing the hairs with tweezers which gave me headaches from trying to stare at my own armpit. Yeah, just picture that. O_O
So this comes to the topic of discussion: Epilators. I had first heard about epilators from the ever-savvy Soompi Forums crowd. An epilator is an electronic device much like an electric razor except that instead of cutting your hair, it has little tweezers that pull your hair out. It sounds really scary, right? But I figured, I'm already tweezing my 'pit hairs so might as well let a machine do it for me.
The two epilator brands that kept popping up in terms of quality and popularity were Emjoi and Braun.
Oh, and I didn't want to forget to mention that Urban Decay is also having another sale on Hautelook starting tomorrow, Tuesday April 20th at 8AM PT (10AM for me here in Central Time). I really don't even need to say how much I love this brand, right? Pretty sure there's something Urban Decay in all of my videos. XD
So anyway, whether you decide to jump on these Emjois or invest in the Braun Silk-Epil or any other number of epilators, I do hope you can try one sometime and be happy and hair-free. They aren't as scary as they seem! Let me know in the comments, have you tried an epilator and if so, which one? Have you tried tweezing unconventional areas? I want to hear some hair-horror stories. ;D

As weird as it may sound the thing I am most looking forward to about Who Do You Think You Are? Live this year is the chance to relax. Relaxation is probably going to be furthest from the minds of most people as they rush from workshop to workshop or explore the bustling exhibitors hall.
Perhaps it is not physical relaxation I am looking forward to but mental relaxation. A chance to unwind, to take my mind off everything, other than family history.
WDYTYA Live provides the perfect excuse for three days of "me" time. I have cleared my diary, so not having to go to work on Friday and a weekend free of commitments has left me with three whole days to do whatever I want to do.
I know I will probably be getting up as early as I would normally if I was to be going to work and will be spending the best part of two hours travelling each way, with plenty of opportunity for things to go wrong, but I am determined not to let that get in the way of my relaxation.
I mean what is the worst that is likely to happen, a train gets cancelled and I am late to the show, I might miss a workshop or two but never mind, it won't be the end of the world.
And I won't worry if one of the workshops I want to see is fully booked. It will give me the perfect opportunity to explore another part of the show or take in another workshop that I might not have considered otherwise.
I don't think I have ever been looking forward to anything quite so much as I am looking forward to WDYTYA Live for a very long time. Even a simple thing like what to take for my lunch is getting me quite excited. How sad is that?
