Worst: I Think I Actually Liked Rob Van Dam The Most Out Of Everyone In This Segment
Here's a list of everything I liked in the first 15 minutes of Raw:
1. Daniel Bryan has a new shirt, and I have to like those even when they're ugly.
2. Bryan asking if he could call 1-800-FELLA and make Sheamus Brogue Kick himself in the face, effective ice-burning the "fetch" that is 1-800-FELLA into secondhand embarrassment forever.
Besides that, the opening segment to Raw was BRUTAL for me. In retrospect it was maybe the 20th worst thing about the episode, but there are few moments worse for a wrestling fan than when they see where a segment's going two minutes in and have to wait 13 more for it to see itself through. Bryan opened the show … that's fine. Sheamus interrupts him and acts like an asshole, but Bryan gets to verbally shut him down, and for better or worse, they're referencing actual WWE history. That's also fine. But then that THIRD Money in the Bank match participant interrupts, and the normal, observant wrestling fan brain goes "shit, they're all going to interrupt and talk about how they're gonna win, aren't they?" That's two minutes in. Then, 13 minutes of them all interrupting and talking about how they're gonna win. You're like the guy from 'Early Edition,' and the headline of tomorrow's paper is SHITTY WRESTLING SHOW.
As I mentioned up there in bold, I think I liked Rob Van Dam the most here, because he was sitting at home NOT wasting the first 20 minutes of Raw. While I'm thinking about it, I should give Bryan another supplemental Best for interrupting Punk and calling him on the "go down the line and talk about how great we all are, then say you're better than us" gag. More people should do that to Punk. He's got the talent to rise above boring bullshit Raw speeches, and rarely has the need to do so.
Also, a light supplementary Best for Christian for being all, "welp, dudes are gettin' RKO'd, I'm outta here" and just bailing.
Worst: The Crowd
I'll reference them in passing throughout the report, but BIG UPS to Sioux City, Iowa, for being total f**king garbage all night long. From the "What" chants during Mark Henry's promo to the half-assed attempts to chant "JBL" and be the post-Mania Raw crowd (Raw crowds need to either go all the way with it or cut it the f**k out) to chanting WE THE PEOPLE along with the hateful jingoistic nutbags, Iowa defined what it means to be a terrible Raw crowd. Do not ever go back to Iowa, WWE.
Note: One thing I do like, though, is how you can look at which John Cena shirts kids in the crowd are wearing to see how long it's been since WWE's been in their town. Kids were wearing that orange "Never Give Up" one from 2011, so it's been a WHILE.
Worst: Seriously, Enough With These Conflicting Authority Figure Segments
I'm not going to link to the videos or write another big thing about it, but WWE once again devoted time to three different backstage confrontations between Vickie Guerrero, a woman who is just trying to do her job, and three conflicting authority figures who are trying to undermine each other passive-aggressively, but seem united in their quest to make the woman they hired to do a job feel paranoid and terrible about any attempts to do it. Stephanie even went so far as to pull the "hey Vickie, I get it, we're both ladies, am I right" card and then IMMEDIATELY turned it back on her for no reason, setting her up for another in an endless string of asinine "performance evaluations." I'm hoping that'll be the end of these things.
Best: The Shield Not Losing Matches (On Raw, At Least) Simply Because They're Holding Belts
The Shield might be the Nexus of All WWE Realities. Not that kind of Nexus.
Think about it. What happens on NXT in the Full Sail NXT continuity doesn't really "happen" in the WWE Universe. Antonio Cesaro has the United States Championship a week after he's lost it, and nobody cares. Michael Cole has never heard of the Wyatt Family and nobody knows what they're capable of, even though they've been doing their thing on NXT for over a year. The Shield guys showed up as a new thing, but the announcers knew who they were and referenced NXT by name. "That's Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns from NXT!" etc.
WWE also does this weird thing where Smackdown happens, but it doesn't. They admit that it exists, but it's almost a "test" to see if something's gonna work on Raw. If a match happens on Raw and has a shitty finish, they'll do it again on Smackdown and end it clean, but never mention the storyline follow-up on Raw. If a good match happens on Smackdown, they'll just repeat it spot-for-spot on Raw like it never happened. They might mention that it's a "rematch," but it'll just be the same thing, same finish and all. Cesaro doing the Neutralizer to The Great Khali is a great example of this. They're all, "this is a rematch!" and in the same breath say "WOW I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY LIFT THE GREAT KHALI LIKE THAT." They don't seem to know if they've watched it or not. See also last night's Christian/Usos vs. The Shield six-man tag, which was a rematch from Smackdown with the "corrected" Raw finish of The Shield using THE DAMNED NUMBERS GAME and being unstoppable. Shouldn't that have happened BEFORE The Usos upsetting them, to build momentum for the challengers in the right direction?
I'm gonna throw this out there: The Shield wear all those clothes to hide the fact that they're dimensionally-indifferent swamp monsters.
Best: Dean Ambrose's Reaction After Pinning Christian
Pitch perfect.
Best: Dolph Ziggler, New Master Of Choreographed Group Fights
Here's something that doesn't get typed a lot, but is true: Jinder Mahal is secretly a really good pro wrestler. Sure, I would've rather seen Ziggler vs. Slater or Ziggler vs. McIntyre, but Jinder knows what he's doing, even if the crowd is too far up their own ass to pay attention to it.
I loved the post-match stuff, with Ziggler defeating 3MB in a fight by avoiding/parkouring the shit out of them, which was perfect for a guy who is supposed to be showing off. It was a weird, rare moment of WWE physicality thinking outside the box. There were two big Worsts for me, though:
Worst: I Am Seriously Not Okay With Jesse And Meowth Being Segregated From James
1. Ziggler's hair is getting blonder and blonder each week, and eventually he's gonna have normal blonde hair instead of that platinum spaghetti shit we've come to know and love. This will soon be the haircut equivalent of losing 'I Am Perfection.'
2. WWE's still unnecessarily measuring Ziggler's crowd response by sending him out alone, then having AJ and Big E Langston show up together later. This is unacceptable. They're a unit, and I do not want them to have that moment when Dolph says "hey AJ, you're a trashy whore, only now people are gonna CHEER when I say it!" and they break up. Don't do that. Ever.
Worst: This Kind Of Shit Is Why I Didn't Lose My Mind Over Bryan's Win Last Week
Last week, I wrote about how the Daniel Bryan concussion telegraphed his "big win" over Randy Orton on the next show, and how that sorta took the wind out of my (full) sails. A lot of people agreed with me, but some of you called me a pessimistic asshole for not losing myself in it and loving it. You know, because 12 straight years of saying "Daniel Bryan is the best wrestler in the world and here's why" is negated by one quarter page about how I wish they'd just been able to finish the first version of that match. ATTN Wrestling Fans: it is okay to sometimes not be 100% happy with what your favorite wrestler is doing or saying. It doesn't make you "wrong" for liking them or less of a fan, or whatever social hang-up is keeping you from having reasonable opinions about things.
Anyway, I was worried that the aborted finish to the first attempt at the Big Orton Win (and wrestling Randy Orton, period) was going to hurt the INSANE in-ring momentum Bryan had built over the last few months. He ended Raw with a clean, submission victory over Orton last week, which positioned him to continue moving forward and ultimately challenge Cena (or, in a perfect world) Mark Henry for the belt at SummerSlam, right? This week, he's back to having interpersonal issues with Kane, playing a special guest referee in a match designed to get him booed and eating a post-match RKO from Randy Orton and having to lie there on the mat like a stupid f**king idiot while 'Voices' plays. And the dirt sheets post WWE NOW CONSIDERING JOHN CENA VS. MARK HENRY VS. RYBACK INSTEAD OF ANYTHING DANIEL BRYAN-RELATED.
I love you, D-Bry, but right now you are pressing your face into the glass ceiling so hard.
Best: The Kane Bleacher Creature Lives In My House Now
Thank you to Destiny for making the fire explosion noise.
And before you ask, I didn't get the Team Hell No 2-pack because the Daniel Bryan one 1) doesn't look anything like him and 2) they got the beard all wrong. They just put Sheamus hair on the bottom of his face.
God, I hope series 2 has a Mark Henry.
Best: Fandango's Back! And He's Got New Pants!
daaa DA! DA-da-DA — wait, are we not doing that anymore?
Firstly, Fandango's new pants are wonderful. They're like a flamboyant cave painting. Secondly, I wanted to give a supplemental, hopefully-not-crass Best to Summer Rae's cleavage but I didn't quite know why, and I think I've figured it out: because her boobs are real. Raw has conditioned me to either accept copious fake cleavage (Kaitlyn, Nikki Bella) or no cleavage (AJ, Brie Bella), so when a lady with natural boobs shows up my asexual Raw-watching brain sorta flips a switch and reminds me that I sometimes fall off my soapbox and write a paragraph about how boobs are great. There are not enough women in wrestling without implants, and while implants are a fine thing to have and cosmetically pleasing on a case-by-case basis, preferentially I'm on Team Not Having Them. I'm also on Team GTFO Summer Rae And Bring Back Ann Dango, but I'm just saying.
I actually really dug this match while it was happening, because Sheamus is basically great with everybody who isn't Orton, Cena or Triple H and we haven't yet gotten enough of Fandango's weird "try to win the match by avoiding the other dude as much as possible and hoping shit works out" thing. He doesn't ever really seem like he's on offense, even when he's on offense.
Sadly, the ending was more re-run madness.
Worst: I Wanted To Write A Big Thing Complaining About Forced Heel Count-Outs, But Oh Man, It Gets So Much Worse In A Minute
Do we really need to protect Fandango? Does he need to pull the cowardly heel thing once he's been in a match for this long? What's the benefit of him walking away and taking a count-out? In kayfabe, shouldn't he care about the money he'd lose by purposefully bailing? Didn't he choose pro wrestling as a career? Shouldn't he have the basic personal confidence to stick it out at LEAST until the Brogue Kick was about to happen? They weren't even at the end. And furthermore, if Fandango eats a Brogue Kick and gets pinned, are we not gonna buy him as "weird dancing guy who says his name funny?" He's not steamrolling the Raw roster or anything. You had Cesaro lose for 65 straight weeks and now we're supposed to buy him as a Foreign Superman again. Just finish your f**king matches sometimes.
Oh, and speaking of "finishing matches."
Worst: Miz Vs. Ryback, Or
Worst: The Worst Raw Segment Of 2013, And Possibly Ever
I can't believe they even put this on the Internet.
Okay, to recap: The Miz had a match with Ryback. It goes how you'd expect it to for a few minutes, and then Miz goes on offense and starts working the leg. This is a small victory for me, because not too long ago I was complaining about him doing a bunch of clotheslines and then putting on a leg lock for an instant critical. Good for him! So Ryback ends up in the corner, Miz drapes Ryback's leg over the ropes, kicks it a few times and then dropkicks it. Ryback immediately starts yelling for the referee to stop the match and … that's it. Miz stands there looking confused, especially when Ryback walks out of the corner like normal. Chris Jericho wanders into the ring from guest commentary, fresh from having called Ryback "Cryback" for two minutes, then hits him with a Codebreaker for no reason. Jericho and Miz then stand around making "the f**k is up with THIS guy" faces. AND THAT'S THE SEGMENT.
I cannot fathom a single person who'd think this was a good idea. Did Ryback shit in Stephanie McMahon's purse (right on Triple H's balls! Hurr!) or something? When Ryback was feuding with Cena and "complaining" too much, he was at least making reasonable points about nobody in WWE having each others' backs and how all of his title opportunities were either stupid or jacked by outsiders. Here, he's SCREAMING for the match to be stopped BECAUSE THE MIZ KICKED HIM IN THE LEG. It's like that time Chavo Guerrero tapped out to Stevie Ray's handshake BUT FOR REAL.
You could say "oh, hey, maybe he actually got hurt." But then he's FINE, and Chris Jericho shows up and attacks him and that's just it. Was the purpose of this to make everyone watching think Ryback is the biggest wiener idiot in the world? He can't take a dropkick from THE MIZ? This guy got suplexed through the roof of a f**king ambulance less than a month ago. This guy picked up Mark Henry with his legs, and now he can't take a kick from a guy who was the offensive weak link in a team with JOHN MORRISON?
Ignoring that completely, doesn't this make Chris Jericho the biggest asshole ever? He came into the ring to attack an injured man who had just forfeited a match, and he did it FROM BEHIND. A SNEAK ATTACK on an INJURED GUY who had JUST GIVEN UP. Who is supposed to look good at the end of this?
Best: Tell These Folks To Go F**k Themselves With The 'Whats,' Mark Henry
The production wizards who add in fake OOOOOHs to Diva match DDTs on Smackdown need to be militarized and organized against "What" chants. When Raw goes up on WWE Fan Nation or on Hulu, every instance of the crowd chanting "What" should be removed with extreme prejudice. If you are saying "What" at a wrestling show, you deserve to be punched in the goddamn mouth. No grey area here. Punched directly in your f**king teeth. Stop it.
Ignoring the What chants, Mark Henry delivered a pretty awesome, purposeful speech about how his entire WWE career has been marred by people treating him like he's stupid, and how he's gonna make that irrelevant by kicking the asshole off of John Cena at Money In The Bank. Yes please. Mark continues to be the top-shelf greatest, and that t-shirt is already in the mail. Buying Mark Henry merchandise is, as they say, what I do.
Best: These Champion Retrospective Clip Videos
The only way I got through this Raw was waiting for the next champion video package. A few quick observations:
1. WWE is always going to overstate Booker T's importance to wrestling history, aren't they?
2. STING! Put out that Sting DVD immediately, WWE. Put the Sting/Bully Ray match from Whatever That Last TNA Pay-per-view Was on there too and have Jim Ross make a bunch of fart sounds over it, I don't care.
3. Harley Race is about a hundred-thousand times cooler than anybody on the current WWE roster.
4. This has got to be the easiest thing to parody. Some guy on Reddit's already elbows deep in a VINCE MCMAHON, DAVID ARQUETTE video, right?

We recently reminded you about the Kids Bowl Free program & let you how much we love this program, but did you know there is a Kids Skate Free program? They have now offered this program for several years. At this time, there is only 2 participating skating rink that I could find in the Northwest, in Puyallup, WA at Tiffany's Skate Inn and Rollin' 253 Skate and Community Center in Tacoma.
You can check out both of the pages above to find the details of the free skating for kids opportunity, and get signed up.
If you'd like to see this program come to your local skating rink, the Kids Skate Free program actually has a letter you can print off to bring to your local rink & share with them about the program. Chances are that they most likely have not heard of it as it's still a pretty new program & is just slowly expanding to more rinks around the country.
I've been signed up for this program for several years and actually have received the Kids Skate Free passes all year long – not just during the summer & it's a great way to save at the roller skating rink!

Dell Packs 12 Low-Power Server Boards in One 2U Chassis
Dell has announced its XS11-Vx8 server based on VIA Nano U2250 power-saving processors normally used in low-cost netbooks.
According to Dell, the Nano U2250, based on VIA's x86-64 platform, delivers 15 Watts/server at OS idle and 20-29 Watts/server at full load. Because of the low power consumption, Dell can bundle 12 server boards with these chips in a single 2U chassis.
The XS11-VX8 server, not yet available at the Dell web shop and still code-named "Fortuna," should be priced at about US$ 400. The manufacturer sees the server as an alternative to the usual power-hungry virtualization solutions and as targeting, for example, web hosting businesses.

I must say a got a good laugh by reading the subject article in the latest
The Hosta Journal. Mr. Olson admits that he manipulated the votes so his
favorite hosta would come in tied for first.
At the Columbus Ohio Convention, I sat next to him at dinner. He told me he
was going to check on the vote for the then best garden award. After
discovering that there was one garden that had won by one vote, he then cast
his vote for the other, creating a tie. Since he was then the VP or
President, I forget which, his vote was counted , even though it was several
hours after the stated deadline.
O Dear! Is this the way to run a railroad??

Despite her poll-time invectives against Narendra Modi, chief minister Mamata Banerjee is hoping he would deliver a fiscal relief package for debt-stressed West Bengal.
On Monday, hours before Modi took oath as the prime minister, Banerjee told mediamen in Kolkata that she was eagerly waiting to see what steps the new government took in this direction. "The Centre is deducting a lot of money (on debt repayment account)," she said.
West Bengal is groaning under a huge debt burden — projected to reach `2.75 lakh crore by the end of the current fiscal — with more than 70% of its revenues being consumed by debt servicing.
Since 2011, Banerjee has been pushing for a three-year moratorium on the interest payment, which can save the state more than `60,000 crore. So far, she has failed to wrest any such special package from the Centre.
During the Lok Sabha campaign, on two occasions, BJP president Rajnath Singh said they would consider Bengal's demand sympathetically.
A Trinamool Congress MP said this was now the top priority for the state. "We had disagreements over this issue with the Congress government," he said.

June 2nd 2016: Yesterday was ScriptSource's fifth birthday! We have marked this milestone with a fresh user interface, designed to give ScriptSource a more contemporary feel. The new UI is more open – more blank space – and uses cleaner fonts and brighter colours.
August 6th 2014: We have recently implemented a number of changes to ScriptSource. Here on the Home page the statistics (below) are now constantly updated, and include links which take you to the area of the site to which the statistic refers. We have enhanced the Search Results page to show results by type, so if, for instance, you are searching for a character, you can click on the "X was found in n characters" link to find what you're looking for.
We have improved the workflow for editing existing entries: the original entry is now visible whilst the edited version is going through the moderation process, so it never disappears from view (which used to happen). We have also removed some of the guide text to make pages look less cluttered; help is still available in the form of tooltips and "?" help icons.
Finally, we have added Unicode 7.0 data to our character pages.
July 10th 2013: We have added a new tab to writing system and character pages to show grapheme and phoneme information. Currently we only have data for a handful of languages, such as Spanish; if you can help us by providing grapheme and phoneme data for a language, please get in touch!
We have also improved the presentation of pages for retired language codes such as Wirangu (wiw).
ScriptSource contains over 195000 pages, covering
Mongolian script - used for writing Mongolian, as well as 9 other languages spoken in Mongolia, China and Russia
Korean - the national language of Korea, and one of the 1% of living languages classified as 'isolates', i.e. having no demonstrable genetic connection to any other language. Written with the Hangul script.

Her adoptive parents now dead, Hortense (Jean-Baptiste), a young middle-class optometrist, decides to find her natural mother. What she doesn't anticipate is that her search will lead to Cynthia (Blethyn), a sad, boozy woman saddled with an argumentative, determinedly morose road-sweeper daughter, Roxanne (Rushbrook), and lent spasmodic moral and financial support by her brother Maurice (Spall), a successful wedding-and-portrait photographer whose prissy suburban house is the obsessive delight of his wife Monica (Logan). When Hortense first phones Cynthia, she knows nothing of the family or the tensions that divide it - and is she really her daughter anyway? After all, she's black, and Cynthia's white. Even as Leigh derives gentle comedy from the plight, aspirations and often pathetic attempts at communication of Cynthia and her tribe, an immense, unforced sympathy is extended to all involved, a generosity of spirit thoroughly in keeping with the performances. Everyone's superb, Blethyn and Spall in particular. Yes, it's long, visually a little static, and rather narrowly concerned with the everyday experiences of one family, but that depth, focus and intensity of concentration result in a film of extraordinary emotional riches. Spellbinding.

"No, I'm not gay
No, I'm not straight,
And I'm sure as hell not bisexual, dammit,
I am whatever I am when I am it.
Loving whoever you are when the stars shine
And whatever you'll be when the sun rises.
Yes, I like girls,
Yes, I like boys,
Yes, I like boys who like boys
I like girls who like toys and girls who don't,
Girls who don't call themselves girls,
Crewcuts or curls, or that really bad hair phase in between.
I like steam, rising from the body of a one-night stand,
I like holding hands for three months before kissing."
-excerpt from Andrew by Andrea Gibson
I like to get naked a lot. Everyone should be naked more often. You should be naked right now.
I tend to be a quiet person, but only because I'm usually in my head thinking about 5 million things at once. But if you get me talking about something I'm interested in, I sometimes won't shut up.
I'm a Unitarian Universalist, an anarcha-feminist, an anti-nationalist, an anti-gender-essentialist, a polyamorist, a pianist, a vocalist, an INFP idealist, and a cuddle-ologist. Dance is my passion and my anti-depressant. I lounge in baggy jeans and t-shirts by day, then femme-gasm all over myself for going out by night. I tend to be a homebody, loving snuggling with a good book, movie, or project, but I'm always up for adventure. If I really like you, I'll cook you sushi, make you silly trinkets, and wait up all night for your texts. I might even write you a song if you're lucky.
I am only looking for polyamorous relationships right now as I believe love to be an infinite resource and can't imagine myself being restricted to expressing that love only in certain ways to certain people. That said, I'm not really looking for casual hookups because I don't tend to experience sexual attraction without an emotional foundation in any relationship, and I also tend to gravitate toward hierarchical-style polyamory with significant focus on one primary partner but with room for other connections to develop. If you have a problem with polyamory or with me seeing other people, please do not bother to contact me. But friendship is welcome from everyone!
I tend to be most attracted to introvert-ish kinky queers on the masculine edge of androgyny. I'm also happy to be a third for poly couples, but if you start telling me about your relationship's one-penis-policy I'll give you the stinkeye.

I suppose I should mention that, while I have mostly exited the business, I occasionally dabble in a few kinds of sex work. Those who have a problem with that (I leave the type of work deliberately vague) should not proceed.
Also, the fact that I am, as I like to put it, fun-sized. This often manifests itself in people deciding that they have implicit permission to pick me up. This is not the case. I might hurt you.
How's that for private? I hardly admit that level of self-consiousness to anyone.
you identify as queer, poly, and/or kinky
you understand, recognize, and appropriately respond to the phrase "check your privilege"
you want to share your passions with me.
you can teach me cool poi moves.
you want to destroy the status quo because the status is not quo.
you're wearing a stupid human suit.
you've made it this far. Congratulations! Have a gif! http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-15-2014/rz9m0x.gif

Is Drake Lowkey Trying To Be A Sports Mogul?
Drake is at the top of his game, but he can't stay out of these sports conversations.
1. The Toronto Raptors
Drake was named the "global ambassador" for Toronto's basketball team, the Raptors, in September, 2013. The responsibilities for this loosely defined role include helping to "spread the gospel" of Toronto basketball, celebrating "Drake night," making Raptors T-shirts cool, and taking shots at Jay Z and the Brooklyn Nets. Talking on Canadian sports channel TSN during a April 19 matchup between the Raptors and the Nets — which, just saying, the Nets won — Drake called the Raptors a team of the people, and said "Jay Z is somewhere eating a fondue plate."
At the Raptors' April 22 playoff game, Drake was courtside, conspicuously lint rolling his pants.
"Lint rollers on deck," he joked on Instagram after getting called out.
2. University of Kentucky basketball
Drake gave the Kentucky Wildcats a post-game speech after a big Final Four tournament win in April. That day a reporter asked him how long he'd been a Kentucky fan, and he replied, "Always."
He wasn't being insincere — Drake's ties to Kentucky run weirdly deep. Drake helped coach Kentucky's 2012 alumni game, then received an honorary championship ring from the school. Later, he narrated a documentary about the team. He even took a picture with top Kentucky recruit Julius Randle's mom, even though Randle likes Jay Z better.
These days, Kentucky is known for recruiting players, like John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, who spend just one year playing college ball then go to the NBA. It's been said that Wildcats coach John Calipari, who attended Drake's delayed 2013 high school graduation, uses Drake and Jay Z as recruiting tools to bring in players.
3. William "World Wide Wes" Wesley
Drake is also homies with the mysterious and influential NBA consultant "World Wide Wes" William Wesley. (That's the World Wide Wes Jay Z shouted out on Drake's album last year.) Wesley works for Creative Arts Agency, which represents Calipari, and in 2012, one college coach told CBS that Wesley made "no secret of his allegiance to John Calipari." So, Drake seemingly helps Calipari lock down great players, who then move to the NBA with Wesley. What's not totally clear is how this benefits Drake.
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is best known for being the first Freshman to win the Heisman and loving Spring Break. Manziel has a tattoo repping Drake's OVO crew on his wrist, and Drake has called himself a "positive reinforcement" in Manziel's life. The two hung out at the Final Four tournament in April, a couple months after Drake wore this shirt with Manziel's face on it.
5. Andrew Wiggins
Drake calls out both Johnny Manziel and college basketball player Andrew Wiggins, a fellow Canadian who's widely projected to be this year's top NBA draft pick, on April 2014 track "Draft Day."
6. Super Bowl XLVIII
"Tomorrow, it's the Seahawks baby!" Drake declared onstage in February, stating the obvious. Previously, Drake had visited a team practice.
7. The Miami Heat's 2013 NBA Finals win
Drake's 2009 "Forever" video paid homage to LeBron James. Still, he was turned away from the Miami Heat locker room after the team's 2013 Finals win, even after he told the person who asked for his media pass, "I am fucking media." He managed to party with Dwayne Wayde and LeBron James at Miami's Story nightclub afterward, though. Recently, he posed for a photo with Lambo, the Miami rapper that's dating LeBron James' mom.
8. Kevin Durant
"Gettin cheddar packs like KD / OKC that's player shit," Drake rapped on French Montana's "Pop That." Last summer, the two debated who won a rap battle on Twitter.
10. Soccer
Drake loves soccer, but soccer fans don't love that he reps more than one club. Over the years he's cheered on Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City. He's spent time with lots of players, but his best soccer friend seems to be Mario Balotelli.
No one doubts Drake's love for videogame soccer, though. In 2013, he earned six-figures from gaming giant Electronic Arts, to become an ambassador for the 2014 edition of the popular soccer series.

Makes 8
Jammy Biscuits are a Southern interpretation of sticky buns, one which takes advantage of the light, fluffy quality of the soft winter wheat used in the South and the abundance of flavorful fruit jams. I like this best with chunky peach or apricot jam, but it also works very well with a tart, thick orange marmalade.
1/2 cup butter, plus some for the pan
1 cup peach or apricot jam, or marmalade
1/8 cup crystallized ginger, minced
2 cups flour (preferably soft wheat)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan liberally with butter, and set it aside.
Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a small saucepan. Pour 1/4 cup out of the pan, and set it aside. Add the jam and crystallized ginger to the pan, and stir over very low heat until mixed and of pouring consistency. Pour it into the bottom of the greased pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the middle, and pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter and the milk. Use a wooden spoon or your floured fingers to quickly mix, until the dough holds together in a rough ball. Turn it out on a liberally floured flat surface, and roll it into a rectangle about a foot long and 8 or so inches wide.
Mix the brown sugar with the pecans, and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the surface of the dough. Roll the dough into a log of 12 inches long. Use a sharp knife to cut every 1-1/2 inches to make 8 biscuits. Place them with a cut side down in the jam, snugly. It's okay if they touch.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the tops of the biscuits are golden. Allow to cool for 3 minutes, then turn upside down onto a serving plate. Serve at once.

This post will be examining Steve Jobs and his control over the media business known from 1986 to 2006 as Pixar. Both incorporated theories utilized by Steve jobs were transformational leadership and transactional leadership. I Have seen that Steve Jobs managed to produce his own model of Magnetic direction by combining both of these theories. Steve Jobs, in a feeling, looks as two periods of one motion at these hypotheses.
Who's Steve Jobs?
Steve Jobs purchased a Graphics Team from the computer graphics department of Lucasfilm. Despite the fact that it was purchased by him for 10-million bucks, it was considered an economical purchase.
Lucas believed that attempting to sell his computer graphics firm was the quickest means more sales could be generated by him. He anticipated to get 100-million for the firm. Steve Jobs squeezed the business for just 10 million. Jobs named it Pixar and relocated the business to Emeryville, Ca. This buy was one of the strategic moves Stevejobs created from 1986. While creating these choices, transformational and transactional leadership was being incorporated by Stevejobs.
Debra Nelson, in her novel Organizational Behavior discusses how Jobs ultimately developed his own business called Apple Computers and started off doing work for Atari. Jobs was a visionary and instant monetary success was introduced by his computer software style in the current to his companies but Jobs was looking forward to the future. Wayne Gretzky was frequently asked about his achievement in ice hockey.
This failed to sit nicely with several of his companies. The Chief Executive Officer of Apple basically "ousted" Steven Jobs for his airy discussion. Steve Jobs additionally bought what's Pixar. It offers additional insight in to the rhetorical characteristics which make Steve Jobs' discussion so powerful" (Nelson 248). Many people persuaded as he intended to construct computer technologies of the future to follow him.
When developing the Apple Computers firm Steven had basically worked in way, but he wanted to expand the mode to a transformational way. Sadly Apple Computers CEO failed to need things to change and was comfy with a mode.
A pacesetter like Steven Jobs might be leader and a transactional leader. "Extraordinary transactional direction cannot be a replacement for transformational direction" (Nelson 402).
A leader may become a powerful charismatic leader of a company when joining transformational and transactional direction. Magnetic Leadership is difficult to establish because several scholars differ on the standards for somebody to have charm. Mostly everyone agrees that magnetic leaders possess abilities and presents which might be used to efficiently get people to believe inside their thoughts.
I'd contemplate transformational leadership and transactional leadership as really valuable gifts which could be used to efficiently get an organization of individuals. Jay Conger in his novel Charismatic Leadership in Organizations links these three types of direction into one strategy. Others consider that magnetic leadership was the most emblematic type that transformational leaders could presume" (Conger 1-1).
Toy Story was a ground-breaking 3- Dimensional electronic film. Toy Story was the to begin its type.
From 1986-1991 they produced three-core computer software methods: Ring Master, Marionette and Renderman. These were utilized to make shorts and they certainly could license these applications outside to others because Pixar was so innovative. Ed Catmull covers building cuttingedge animation in an interview. He mentioned lots of matters when asked this kind of advanced border could be kept by Pixar. One significant variable is having a team of honest folks working with you. There are not any type systems possibly; they seem at each other as equals.
He also stresses the need for a good communication construction. "I believe we've among the finest structures for working and communication that I Have actually noticed, which by the way is a homage to Steve Jobs, who drove the layout of it" (Catmull 1). Jobs draws people in, making them feel the "energy of the creation" as Catmull sets it. "And when you are feeling the electricity of the creation, it assists the team get together and keep together and make the magic things (Catmull 1).
This layout was driven by Steve Jobs for almost ten years. In the novel The Second-Coming of Stevejobs, writer Alan Deutschman chronicles an electricity was kept by Stevejobs at Pixar for quite a long time among his followers before there was any significant pay off. Lasseter had developed one short-film and several brief films validate and in certain tried to illustrate the Pixar Picture Pc. The title of any of these movies was Luxo Jr; the movie dealt with some of Luxo manufacturer anthropomorphic lamps. The bigger was an parent seeing the lamp perform with a toy ball that finally popped.
Luxo Jr was not extremely unpopular. The film-industry and pc researchers amazed. The quick was nominated at the 1986 Academy Awards for Best Quick Animated Film. Pixar expected to put it to use to its edge and had sway in the film-industry. Jobs expected that a customer rebellion would ignite. He expected to support individuals that were hobbyist to produce computer-animation on their desktop computer, the same manner the Mac let individuals that were untaught to produce expert-showing docs like flyers and newsletters.
Sadly for the Pixar Business and Jobs, these goods didn't garner lots of interest. Pixar offered marginally more than 100,000 RenderMan permits. When James Cameron became a faithful user with his movies, The Abyss and Terminator 2 RenderMan received extensive publicity and esteem. Earnings from the Pixar Picture Pc and RenderMan are not enough to provide Pixar out a fiscal downturn. Another thought to improve earnings was to start making a TV series and eventually advertisements. Their hottest ads were for Listerine and Life Savers candies.
Pixar had several financial hardships. Hope was seen by them when Tin Toy, Lasseter brief movie, was launched and obtained an Oscar for Best Quick Animated Movie. Tin Toy was centered on several playthings in the chamber of a baby and was considerably more complex than earlier in the day productions. This achievement occurred around an identical time as the launch of The Abyss, which showcased a RenderMan left character of James Cameron. Tin Toy was the forerunner to Toy Story.
The cartoon world of Disney was having incredible success in the 80s. The Small Mermaid was a tremendous fiscal success in their opinion. Luckily for Pixar, Lasseter pitched the notion of a Xmas tele-vision specific, and kept contact with Disney. The top of Disney movie, Katzenberg, provided a three picture deal to Pixar and loved all of Lasseter's shorts. Lasseter started working on expanding Tin Toy to some feature film called Toy Story.
When this information was learned by Stevejobs from Lasseter, he re-arranged the complete Pixar Company. Virtually every revenue workplace was shutdown by him. After Stevejobs re-organized the business, the function for the revenue employees was to carry on the merchandise to other software manufacturers. The section of the firm was tripled. Jobs placed all his energy into creating the movie Toy Story. It was a high-risk investment on Steven Jobs' portion. The Pixar Company wouldn't normally survive if this movie neglected.
On opening-weekend, Toy Story brought-in $39.1 million, enough to recover the creation expenses. Pixar became a household word, showing that Jobs' eyesight had not been an outrageous notion. Toy Story became cuttingedge film making that led to several money-making CGI movies.
Jobs made plans to seek a fresh contract when the deal with Disney arrived nearer to its ending. With the apparent success of computer-animated movies, he distribute them himself or could readily locate another distributer. Michael Eisner attempted to prevent Jobs from leaving but Eisner, the Disney leader neglected.
Eisner sold his place by this failure, among other items. Eisner was changed by Bob Iger at Disney; afterward, Iger managed to perform an offer with Jobs. In this offer, Disney would buy Pixar within an all-stock trade worth 7.4 billion dollars. This deal created Jobs among the strongest leaders of the century. Jobs possessed 7% of the firms stock and joined the business's directorate following this deal was produced. Now Jobs not only manages Disney although Pixar. He's among just six guys that sit with this committee.
When the Chief Executive Officer of Apple computers declined Stevejobs' new creative thoughts, Steve-Jobs could have folded. He'd a want to see pc technologies do something it hasn't done before.
-Sold his shares.
– Turned Pixar 100-million dollar pc graphics business for 10 million
– Offered Pixar into a generation firm for computer-animated function films
Now, Steve-Jobs have been welcomed by individuals at Apple Computers straight back. These four essential selections that Jobs made with the Pixar Organization, present both transformational and transactional thinking; causing Jobs to be among the most Magnetic leaders of our day.

Thanks so much for the information. It really helps to understand before we buy!
grandma5 (rep: 57.8k) posted Feb 04, 2012
Before you buy the most important things
1. How will it be used? If its internet shopping top of the line processor and high resolution monitor are a complete waste of money.
2. What is my budget? Know how much you have to spend and focus the money on key areas. Don't add a blue tooth option and extra battery if your #1 use is to watch Netflix. Use that money on the video card and RAM.
3. Where will I use it?
Do you work on the go doing light tasks? Netbook. Are you in an office doing spread sheet and presentations for clients - higher end laptop. Are you just using it for gaming? - get a job!
I recommend knowing more about yourself than the technology. Know how it will be used, how much money, what you will do, how much travel. THEN look to see which key aspects of technology are critical to meeting your needs.
I bought 1 laptop for myself in the last 3 years. I knew what I needed and wanted so I didn't have to buy a dozen new gadgets. I have helped dozens of employees, friends, family buy tablets, netbooks, laptops, desktops, smart phones, etc.. I focus on their critical needs then tie it to the technology that best meets their needs on their budget.

Tropospheric ozone climatology at two Southern Hemisphere tropical/subtropical sites, (Reunion Island and Irene, South Africa) from ozonesondes, LIDAR, and in situ aircraft measurements
- DOI: 10.5194/acp-9-1723-2009
This paper presents a climatology and trends of tropospheric ozone in the Southwestern Indian Ocean (Re - union Island) and South Africa (Irene and Johannesburg) . This study is based on a multi - instrumental dataset : PTU - O 3 ozonesondes , DIAL LIDAR and MOZAIC airborne instru - mentation . The seasonal profiles of tropospheric ozone at Reunion Island have been calculated from two different data sets : ozonesondes and LIDAR . The two climatological profiles are similar , except in austral summer when the LIDAR profiles show greater values in the free troposphere , and in the up - per troposphere when the LIDAR profiles show lower values during all seasons . These results show that the climatological value of LIDAR profiles must be discussed with care since LIDAR measurements can be performed only under clear sky conditions , and the upper limit of the profile depends on the signal strength . In addition , linear trends have been calculated from ozonesonde data at Reunion and Irene . Considering the whole tropospheric column , the trend is slightly positive for Reunion , and more clearly positive for Irene . Trend calcula - tions have also been made separating the troposphere into Correspondence to : G . Clain (gaelle . clain@univ - reunion . fr) three layers , and separating the dataset into seasons . Re - sults show that the positive trend for Irene is governed by the lower layer that is affected by industrial pollution and biomass burning . On the contrary , for Reunion Island , the strongest trends are observed in the upper troposphere , and in winter when stratosphere - troposphere exchange is more frequently expected .

Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Although some shippers are hesitant on using foreign trade zones (FTZs) due to compliance burdens, the benefits of FTZs may be worth the effort.
The Floridian port is ready to launch a second round of investment - this time with the goal of increasing capacity and service levels within the container yard.
Members of the planned ocean carrier alliance – Hapag-Lloyd, Yang Ming, NYK, MOL and "K" Line – said they plan to offer 31 services, utilizing 240 vessels to call over 75 ports.

i really don't know what some people have against gays, but i think they really need to get over it, i think anybody who loves another are entitled the the same rights as any other person, so what if there the same sex. i happen to think that gays are just as good a friend as any other person, better at that, and my father thinks in the same ways, since while he was fighting alongside another gay in the past. i am all for gay marriage.

I agree. I mean,you marry someone when you love them and are going to be happy, right?
If two men, or two women love each other and are living their lives how they wish, then so be it!
However, my parents and religion think otherwise...but I am for it!
i am religious but not that much thisw guy goes to my church and school he gives me a lecture everyday during lunch or some time because "i am not religious enough" and "i need to try to work more on my beliefs" it drives me insane
I agree!

That said, it'd be nice to see some more non-glass teaware
I'd like to see more Glass Teaware that isn't made for hobbits.
Maybe it's just a limitation of glass, but is it too much to ask for a Large Mug type. The only thing I can think of is the Bodum Corona line, but I'd hate to play that much for such a plain glass mug. But that's exactly what I'm looking for.
While the Clarity cup is nice, I'd like something a little larger with more heft and insulative properties.

When Atheists Attack (Each Other)
The squabble between Darwin lobbyists who openly hate religion and those who only quietly disdain it grows ever more personal, bitter and pathetic. On one side, evangelizing New or "Gnu" (ha ha) Atheists like Jerry Coyne and his acolytes at Why Evolution Is True. Dr. Coyne is a biologist who teaches and ostensibly researches at the University of Chicago but has a heck of a lot of free time on his hands for blogging and posting pictures of cute cats.
On the other side, so-called accommodationists like the crowd at the National Center for Science Education, who attack the New Atheists for the political offense of being rude to religious believers and supposedly messing up the alliance between religious and irreligious Darwinists.
I say "supposedly" because there's no evidence any substantial body of opinion is actually being changed on religion or evolution by anything the open haters or the quiet disdainers say. Everyone seems to seriously think they're either going to defeat religion, or merely "creationism," or both by blogging for an audience of fellow Darwinists.
Want to see what I mean? This is all pretty strictly a battle of stinkbugs in a bottle. Try to follow it without getting a headache.
Coyne recently drew excited applause from fellow biologist-atheist-blogger PZ Myers for Coyne's "open letter" (published on his blog) to the NCSE and its British equivalent, the British Centre for Science Education. In the letter, Coyne took umbrage at criticism of the New Atheists, mostly on blogs, emanating from the two accommodationist organizations. He vowed that,
We will continue to answer the misguided attacks [on the New Atheists] by people like Josh Rosenau, Roger Stanyard, and Nick Matzke so long as they keep mounting those attacks.Like the NCSE, the BCSE seeks to pump up Darwin in the public mind without scaring religious people. This guy called Stanyard at the BCSE complains of losing a night's sleep over the nastiness of the rhetoric on Coyne's blog. Coyne in turn complained that Stanyard complained that a blog commenter complained that Nick Matzke, formerly of the NCSE, is like "vermin." Coyne also hit out at blogger Jason Rosenhouse for an "epic"-length blog post complaining of New Atheist "incivility." In the blog, Rosenhouse, who teaches math at James Madison University, wrote an update about how he had revised an insulting comment about the NCSE's Josh Rosenau that he, Rosenhouse, made in a previous version of the post.
That last bit briefly confused me. In occasionally skimming the writings of Jason Rosenhouse and Josh Rosenau in the past, I realized now I had been assuming they were the same person. They are not!
It goes on and on. In the course of his own blog post, Professor Coyne disavowed name-calling and berated Stanyard (remember him? The British guy) for "glomming onto" the Matzke-vermin insult like "white on rice, or Kwok on a Leica." What's a Kwok? Not a what but a who -- John Kwok, presumably a pseudonym, one of the most tirelessly obsessive commenters on Darwinist blog sites. Besides lashing at intelligent design, he often writes of his interest in photographic gear such as a camera by Leica. I have the impression that Kwok irritates even fellow Darwinists.
There's no need to keep all the names straight in your head. I certainly can't. I'm only taking your time, recounting just a small part of one confused exchange, to illustrate the culture of these Darwinists who write so impassionedly about religion, whether for abolishing it or befriending it. Writes Coyne in reply to Stanyard,
I'd suggest, then, that you lay off telling us what to do until you've read about our goals. The fact is that we'll always be fighting creationism until religion goes away, and when it does the fight will be over, as it is in Scandinavia.A skeptic might suggest that turning America into Scandinavia, as far as religion goes, is an outsized goal, more like a delusion, for this group as they sit hunched over their computers shooting intemperate comments back and forth at each other all day. Or in poor Stanyard's case, all night.
There's a feverish, terrarium-like and oxygen-starved quality to this world of online Darwinists and atheists. It could only be sustained by the isolation of the Internet. They don't seem to realize that the public accepts Darwinism to the extent it does -- which is not much -- primarily because of what William James would call the sheer, simple "prestige" that the opinion grants. Arguments and evidence have little to do with it.
The prestige of Darwinism is not going to be affected by how the battle between Jerry Coyne and the NCSE turns out. New Atheist arguments are hobbled by the same isolation from what people think and feel. I have not yet read anything by any of these gentlemen or ladies, whether the open haters or the quiet disdainers, that conveys anything like a real comprehension of religious feeling or thought.
Even as they fight over the most effective way to relate to "religion," the open atheists and the accomodationists speak of an abstraction, a cartoon, that no actual religious person would recognize. No one is going to be persuaded if he doesn't already wish to be persuaded for other personal reasons. No faith is under threat from the likes of Jerry Coyne.

Pound the steaks with a meat tenderizer/mallot until about 1/8" thick. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Spread mustard thickly on one side on each steak. Place two slices of bacon and two pickle slices on each steak. Divide the onion evenly onto each steak. Starting from the narrowest end of each steak, roll tightly (jelly roll style) and secure with string.
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Brown the meat rolls well on all sides. Add about 1 cup of water to the saucepan, cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Add more water if needed. Remove the meat from the pan. Add the beef broth to the liquid the meat was cooked in. Keep boiling until liquid is reduced by one third of its original size. Whisk in tomato paste, half and half, and evaporated skim milk, careful to not let it boil (to avoid curdling). Season with salt and pepper. Return the meat to the pan and warm through.

Set sail from Fort Lauderdale on your 10-night Southern Caribbean Cruise on Serenade of The Seas. Your 11-days cruise visits 5 different ports of call including Tortola, Basseterre, Roseau, St. John's, Philipsburg.
Set sail from Fort Lauderdale on your 10-night Southern Caribbean Cruise on Serenade of The Seas. Your 11-days cruise visits 5 different ports of call including Tortola, Basseterre, Roseau, St. John's, Philipsburg.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Fort Lauderdale lies along the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the New River, 25 miles north of Miami. Its warm tropical weather attracts many people throughout the year. For sun-worshippers, the city has six miles of beaches. There are also many recreational waterways with extensive boating facilities, access to every conceivable watersport, a variety of fascinating museums and trendy restaurants, and an array of entertainment venues.
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Tortola - envision it. Banana, mango and palm trees swaying gently in the warm tropical breeze. Exotic steel drum music. Some of the best white-sand beaches in the British Virgin Islands. And that's just the north side of the island. On the south side, Tortola's rugged mountain roads lead to spectacular views. There's no lack of adventure here. Rent a bareboat and set sail. Grab some SCUBA gear and explore the wreck of the HMS Rhone or the Chikuzen. With so much to experience, what are you waiting for?
Basseterre, St. Kitts
With dormant volcanoes, golden sand beaches and gorgeous green hills, St. Kitts is a beautiful backdrop to your Caribbean adventure. Discovered in 1623 by the British and settled by the French in 1625, the island's deep colonial history is reflected in the abandoned fortresses, as well as its landscaped gardens, city squares and architectural details.
Roseau, Dominica
Roseau is a charming costal village of Dominica and your gateway to one of the Caribbean's most untouched islands. With its lush forested mountains, countless rivers and black-sand beaches, you'll see why it's called the 'Nature Island of the Caribbean'. If you've ever wondered what an authentic Caribbean island was like, this is it.
St. John's, Antigua
The first settlement on the island we now know as Antigua was not established until the 1600s, when English settlers arrived. Antigua remained a part of the British Commonwealth until its independence in 1981. Today, Antigua is a popular vacation destination, attracting tourists with its ideal climate, amazing landscape, leisurely lifestyle and 365 beautiful beaches - one for every day of the year!
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
When the Spanish closed their colonial fort on St. Maarten in 1648, a few Dutch and French soldiers hid on the island and decided to share it. Soon after, the Netherlands and France signed a formal agreement to split St. Maarten in half, as it is today. Philipsburg displays its Dutch heritage in its architecture and landscaping. The island offers endless stretches of beach, beautiful landscapes and great shopping.

1. Let's first talk about the Spurs big trade. Getting Richard Jefferson for Obricio and some other old guys, how happy did that make you feel? How close were to you writing that the Spurs front office really wasn't doing their job?
So happy I packed Oberto's bag, got him a 1-way ticket to Milwaukee and lied to the Dept. of Homeland Security that he is illegally in the USA and needs to be deported immediately to Argentina. Said to Bowen thanks for everything, see you at your jersey retirement party in SA and asked Thomas "Can we get you back instead of Oberto and Bowen?" That's how happy I was. Seriously the Spurs lacked that athletic small forward. It was very apparent in the Mavs series when Howard was having his way with the Spurs. This was a missing piece the Spurs needed to address and they sure did! Four guys (Jefferson, Duncan, Parker and Ginobilli) who can score over 20 a night has to be something other West teams are nervous about. As for me writing on the Spurs front office, I was taking a "wait and see" approach. So far I like what I see and will wait to see if they address the Spurs other weakness. . . center position.
2. You have been a guy that has wanted to get rid of Manu Ginobili for a while. In talking to you when we meet in New York, I know you don't trust how healthy his ankle is anymore. All that being said, what pieces would you like to get for him? I know you would want young, athletic talent, but who would be at the top of your list?
Well seeing how everyone knows Manu's health is questionable, I shouldn't expect a lot in return. I like what Washington offered for Manu, but I would want to get high draft picks for him and a legit big man. With Duncan's NBA career is closing to an end and it would be time for the Spurs to start rebuilding around Parker and trading Manu might just help.
3. The big time guy the Spurs picked up in the draft was DeJuan Blair. Talk about how happy you were to get him and also talk about the craziness of the draft since you got to go.
The Draft was so much fun. Just being with people who enjoy the NBA was good enough for me. It didn't matter if you were a Spurs fan, Bulls fan, Knicks fan, etc just all of us there hoping the best for our teams was the common bond. I even found myself yelling and booing teams picks for no reason. Also getting drunk and twittering live was a bad idea. Nonetheless it is something every NBA fan has to do once in their life. As for Blair what can I say, the Spurs had a glaring weakness in the paint and Blair fits that need. I often wonder if it's the Spurs organization who does their "homework" or are the rest of the NBA teams that stupid. If Blair pans out he would be added to the list of gems the Spurs found late in drafts (Parker, Manu, Hill, Blair). This guy is as rugged as they come. Physical, a beast on the boards, passionate on the court, and can grab offensive boards. Plus he annihilated Thabeet when they met head-to-head during their college days. Still, the thought of Duncan, Gooden and Blair in the paint for the Spurs just brings to me a smile.
4. Tim Duncan is no young guy (in NBA years) at 33. Predict how many more good years he has in him and what his legacy will be with the Spurs.
He has 2 more years. His knees are a concern, and he lost a lot of lift in the post. However it was awesome while it lasted. His legacy is cemented to this franchise. He was cool on the court, almost unstoppable on the court, never became a "diva", put team first above himself, allowed others to blossom, and led by example. The memories he gave Spurs fans are endless but I say his performance against the Nets in the 03 Finals, his 3 against the Suns in the playoffs, and seeing him play side-by-side with David Robinson are etched in my mind. He was never boring and when he is gone, then we will see people give him the credit he deserves which is a shame.
5. This question comes from the Fan House twitter: Are you concerned about DeJuan Blair-is he an injury risk/not a smart pick?
A bit. There has to be something to his knees if a bunch of teams passed on him. I heard doctors red-flagged Blair causing numerous teams to pass on him. However the Spurs get a guy who is not getting a guaranteed contract, low risk (financially), and if he does work out then the Spurs win as well. I say smart pick, low risk. Besides he did play a full season at Pitt and showed no signs of knee trouble.
6. This is from Howlin' T-Wolf (also check their blog): Besides obviously health what's the biggest key for the Spurs to win it all?
I say "rest". The core guys (Duncan, Parker, Finley, Manu) play deep into the playoff year after year. Any amount of rest will pay dividends for the Spurs long-term. My concern right now is how Parker will feel heading into the season. He is playing for the French National Team this summer and hope he isn't tired come opening night. Another key is how quick the new guys can gell with the Spurs system. Young guys like Blair, McClinton, Mahinimi, and Hill and the newest Spurs Richard Jefferson will need to take advantage of any practice time. As the saying goes, it takes about 1 full season to understand the Spurs system.
7. Getting RJ was clearly a step towards more contention for the Spurs. With every great team, there are down years and growing pains that ensue at some point. When does that point come for the Spurs and do you as a fan think you are prepared to cheer during tough times?
That point comes when Duncan retires. Sure Parker is there but gone is the low post threat TD provides that helps Parker to get to the lane easily. As a Spurs fan I know we won't abandon ship. Sure I am very critical about the team but I never stop defending them, reminding others they have 4 titles, etc. Spurs fans around the world will continue to cheer for them even when times are tough.
8. Another Twitter question from thattalldude (he does some writing for Jeff, at Project Spurs) Who are the top three centers to target in free agency? And will we see another trade before the season?
Top 3 centers to target: Zaza Pachulia, Andy Varejao, and Rasheed Wallace. Pachulia provides more toughness in the paint, Varejao will do the dirty work, and Wallace gives the Spurs another low post threat, scoring and shot blocking. As for another trade I sure hope so if it involves dumping Bonner. However I don't see another huge trade like the RJ trade but I can see them signing another free agent like Rasheed Wallace.
9. Lots of people interested in the Spurs, this question is from nmiko: Do you think the spurs are still interested in Sheed after they got Blair?
Oh yes. Blair is a nice, young big man but there is nothing like the experience Wallace brings to the table and his ability to block shots, board and score. He is an established vet but I hope Blair spends more time learning from TD and not Sheed should he come to SA for obvious reasons.
10. If you had to take Fabricio Oberto to dinner to give him his late celebration as a now former Spur, where would you take him and what would you say to him? How much crap would you give him?
I would take him to the Wendy's dollar menu and say to him "The Spurs couldn't sign Scola but got you? You can't board, play volleyball on the court and posted a pic of yourself on Twitter shirtless, eating ice-cream. Seeing you on the court actually made me miss Rasho Nesterovic. Have fun in Detroit!" I might give him some thanks for his play in the 07 Finals but he never was the right type of center the Spurs needed to play along side Duncan.
11. Hot seat question: how far do the Spurs get next year?
If they stay healthy and address the center position I say WCF vs the Lakers. Again if they don't address the center position then Spurs are in for one hell of a fight going up against Gasol, Odom, and Bynum. Right now all we got is Bonner, Blair and Duncan. Doesn't reassure me.
Thanks again to Jeff. Remember to check out Project Spurs!
