I have that song on my Ipod. They just don't make music like they used to, lol. Yeah, perspiration for me, too. Maybe 1% inspiration :-)
Congrats to your son! How exciting! So you were in my neck of the woods this weekend.How fun! Next time you're here, you should look me up. My hubby studies at IU! Go Hoosiers!
Perspiration for sure! Congrats to a really smart son! I bet you were sooooo proud!
What a fun post, Loree!
And, yes, the dancing was so much fun to watch. Thanks for the nice break from work!!
Oh yes--a TON of perspiration for me, for sure, but I do get inspired when I hear how much kids love mysteries--keeps me writing!
Aloha! --Cheryl
Fun and congratulations to your son!
I'm with you - I need both inspiration and perspiration. Usually starts with inspiration, but it's got to turn to perspiration if I'm going to keep with it. :)
Congratulations, Loree! So far I have seen two of my three sons graduate from college - I was a bundle of emotions! I guess I'd go with two parts perspiration, and one part inspiration. The inspiration acts like fuel in my tank!
You can't live in Memphis and not know bout Booker T.! How cool!
Congratulations. I'd be swelled with pride too. What a great accomplishment!
Congrats to your son! How exciting! I can only imagine how proud you are!
Both for me -- but more perspiration than inspiration. I do get inspired, and it great when I am, but a lot of times, I feel like a college student again -- study, study, study! ;-)
Love Booker T. Especially Green Onions. And that is the hippest, most happening video I've ever seen!
Congrats to your son, Loree! You should all be busting buttons. And seems! Good excuse, too, to shop for a new wardrobe. ;)
I agree that it takes a bit of both. :) Great post
Without perspiration I'd only have a pile of unfinished ideas... but of course we need the inspiration for a stellar story if we are to inspire others.
I love that quote about learning to learn. We have to check our egos at the door!
Brandi: I love that song! Booker gave such an inspirational speech to the graduates.
Melanie: I just love going down to B-town. I will have to look you up sometime!
Terri: Perspiration! Thanks for the congrats! We are so proud of our kids. I also have two very smart daughters.
Cheryl: I just thought that dancing was so 60's and groovy! heh heh
Melissa: I agree, I think it does start with inspiration...but to go the distance, we must perspire.
Victoria: Congrats to you also! I think you may have hit on something - the inspiration is like fuel in the tank.
Jessica: It was so cool to see the Booker T. He gave an excellent speech. Thanks for the congrats. We are just thrilled.
Gwen: I get the study study study thing...it never ends.
Jayne: It is a pretty hip video. Thanks for the congrats! I like the new wardrobe idea...haha!
Tracy: It does take a bit of both! Everyone has their own measure...fun to see.
Charlotte: I love Booker's quote too. We must "learn to learn" and never stop.
Thanks for stopping in everyone! I love reading your comments. I didn't get a chance to make the rounds in blogosphere today, but will be blog hopping the rest of the week.

Congratulations to your son--and to you! Awesome. And I love Green Onions. What a great video. The dancing is hilarious.
Congratulations to your son --and to you!
I recognized that song and loved the dancing too -- especially the "bug's eye" view thru the camera. Wow. Fancy.
And I would have to say inspiration is a wonderful thing, but perspiration rules the day.

Jess: Awesome, Jess! That's so cool to know about you. Go Hoosiers!

I love that quote about learning how to learn, and I love that he didn't read music, but learned it after hearing it!
Congrats to your son, what an accomplishment!
What an inspiring story! Thanks for sharing it.
Congrats to the proud parents...and son, too. :)
As for your question...perspiration for me too!
Both. I can't do anything without being inspired. But I can't finish anything if I haven't perspired.
trout: I believe what you said about it allowing you to love your life work...so true.
Shelley: I loved that quote too. He gave such a powerful speech to the graduates. He inspired me!
Stacy: Glad you enjoyed it.

trout, Shelley, Stacy, Sandra, and Misha, thanks for stopping by and chiming in!
Perspiration. I'm a slow writer and have to fight for every word - but it's worth it. :)
I'm with you. Perspiration for sure!
Congrats to you and your son! What an accomplishment:)

Rhodes' poem chosen to appear in literary magazine
KERSEY – As a creative writing major, Jenna Rhodes of Kersey is off to a successful start, with one of her poems selected from among more than 5,000 submissions for publication in the 2011 edition of The Apprentice Writer literary magazine. Now in its 29th year, The Apprentice Writer was created by Gary Fincke, professor of English and creative writing and director of the Writers' Institute at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove. The magazine publishes some 70 poems, stories, personal essays, photographs and works of art by high school students from a 20-state area. Fincke oversees editorial decisions, and the publication is edited in part by Susquehanna writing students. Each year, 11,000 copies of the magazine are printed and distributed to 3,200 secondary schools."I always felt that the great thing about poetry is that the reader can always make it their own, and connect to it personally [even if their interpretation isn't what the author necessarily had in mind]," Rhodes said.Rhodes will be a freshman at Susquehanna University and is a 2011 graduate of St. Marys Area High School. She is the daughter of Laura Rhodes.While the poem "Majorica Pearls" only took Rhodes a few minutes to jot down, she spent a few weeks doing minor editing on it with the assistance of her teacher, Nancy Gerber. "I'm not the type to start writing a poem and go back to it. I like to have it almost complete before I write it down on paper," Rhodes said.The subject of her poem is based on her feeling of not being feminine enough in regard to her body type."I always compared my body to that of an 11-year-old boy-- straight and harsh. And how I started to cover my body with feminine dress (pink and lace and such) and I started to feel 'girly,' but that when I took off those clothes I still felt the same about how I looked," she said.Pick up a copy of the Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

11 June 2013, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Addis Ababa played host to the 34th Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum (GHACOF) and the Water Conflict Management and Cooperation Workshop, which took place on 29-31 May 2013. The Forum was organized by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) and other partners to formulate a regional climate outlook for the June to August 2013 season over the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA). The Great Horn region comprises Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The theme of the forum was "Building Resilience to Climate Related Disasters and Climate Change Adaptation in the Greater Horn of Africa." The regional Climate Outlook Forums have been a useful process for regional consensus building for seasonal predictions and applications. The GHA is prone to extreme climate events such as droughts and floods, which have severe negative impacts on key social economic sectors in all the countries of the region.
Users from a variety of sectors such as disaster risk reduction, health, water resources, agriculture, and food security together with civil society and other Non-Governmental Organizations and development partners participate in the formulation of the potential impacts of the climate outlook for their respective sectors. This year the outlook of the June-August season indicates an increased likelihood of below-normal to near-normal rainfall and climatology over much of the GHA region. Conversely, in central parts of the northern sector of the Horn as well as in the coastal and western parts of the equatorial sector there is an increased likelihood of above-normal rainfall.
To formulate the regional forecast, experts draw input from a wide range of sources, including the World Meteorological Organization's Global Producing Centres and various National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. These inputs are then combined into a regional outlook using probabilistic and deterministic modeling, alongside expert analysis and interpretation.
At the Forum, UNOSAT expert Roshni Dave, who is posted in Nairobi, introduced the IGAD-UNOSAT partnership project on 'Disaster Risk Reduction Capacity Development for East Africa using Geo-spatial Technologies'. She also highlighted project activities including technical training and regional awareness raising events. The initiative is supported by the government of Norway.
The Workshop on Water Conflict Management and Cooperation took place after the Forum and focused on experiences from ongoing water cooperation programmes. Experts also discussed the idea of skills building training events on managing and transforming conflict. This workshop was organized within the framework of the UN International Year for Water Cooperation 2013.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
One example is that he has awakened me and pointed me to Bible scripture and had me focus on a particular scripture to emphasize that the 23 year old stories are things he is remindking me of. That is how I know.
I might have worried about the correct interpretation of why my old stories match new events until God reinforced it with the confirming scripture. And secondly, I do doubt my interpretation of obscure incidences like I had no freaking Idea waht a dream about my leg being amputated means. After finding this site, I interpret it as a premonition of being here. So yes I do question my interpretations all the time.
Sometimes, it is rally easy to figure out,other times I have no idea... for a while.
I'll answer that one with a question. Do you believe that my assertion that single motherhood leads to dependency and the overwhelming of the welfare system? I ask because others here celebrate single motherhood and Barton and I think that's a bad Idea. Your stats, whatever they are, and my stats that some here wish to dismiss could all be misrepresentitive of something, but what we can get form this discussion is that Atheist philosophies as demonstrated here are what Barton and I would call anti family. The anti family element tends to dependence, and a welfare state that is bankrupting the country. Barton and I are pointing to truth. I like that and as you said: But "like" and "trust" are not pathways to truth. However, they ARE often pathways to ERROR. It just may be that my liking Barton is not, in this specific case difinitively a pathway to error. I'm sure you could agree with that.
I'd like to correct myself here. I have used coincidence in cases where that term doesn't apply. Consider that an error of mine.
I'll paste some of it in herre for you and comment;"And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.Wow, that was really inspired of you to pick that verse. Paul nailed it right on the head didn't he. There is no way I could have picked a better example of what is going on here. See, I'm like Paul, unable to intelectually persuade you, only offer you proof of God's power in my stories.How did you do that median? That was amazing, the scripture you gave us just answered your question for me. My God is so great! "...that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power."
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the casual observer, hearing that I admit that I'm bigoted with regard to pedophelia, can see it as a wry way of pointing out the direction of psychology in justifying aberrent behaviors as normal is something that I am critical of. It may satisfy a need of yours to dismiss me altogether because I have heard all I need to hear from studies like the one in the news from Britain that is pointing in that direction. Psychology today has published articles that I disagree with. Let's just say, I trust them as much as you trust Barton. Can't we all just get along?
You went a long way to say that I don't like the truth, and you neednt do that. I am fully committed to the truth.

One Direction Scolded Over $22,000 Cell Phone Bills
One Direction have taken over the world, and with their mounting popularity comes excessive cell phone bills. That's right, the boys reportedly racked up $22,000 worth of charges on their recent world tour.
Their high voice and data usage shouldn't come as such a surprise. After all, there are five members of the British boy band, and they like to tweet — a lot. However, One Direction's handlers weren't as understanding.
According to the Daily Mirror, a source said, "In the end they got called in for a meeting and given a lecture on finances, and how to handle their money. It is vital wealth does not go to their heads. Their bills got signed off and the boys will not be making the same mistake again."
The slap on the wrist will hopefully hit home, as the boys will be in roaming territory for a while. One Direction just embarked on the U.S. leg of their North American run, which wraps on June 30 in Orlando, Fla. That's another five weeks away from the U.K.! WiFi, guys. Get into it.
Although they received a little scolding, the group has plenty to look forward to. In addition to their U.S. tour, the guys are celebrating the release on their new book, 'Dare To Dream – Life As One Direction,' which hit bookshelves today.

Cliff lashed at the people who buy his crap? How important does he think he is?
lol, funny to sse what this guy protect so hard now give him a huge middle finger straight to his face
Cliffy B, you and Microsoft were wrong for your always online, 24 hour check-ins, and DRM. Get over it.
You could "Family Share" on the PS3 w/ 5 PS3s. Now you can only share w/ 2 PS3. Microsoft took away "Family Share" to punish you, not because they had too. Hardcore Xbox fans are in abusive relationship w/ Microsoft, They slap you down, you blame everyone else and go crawling back.

Re skinwall tyres...There are some Ritcheys I think, Charge Splashback, Halo twinrail - those are modern tyres with skinwall carcasses- bike-discount.de have Panaracer Smoke/Dart reissues, firstflightbikes have Panaracer Timbuk II which are era appropriate for mid 80s through early 90s.

Coroner Cites "Individual and Systemic Failings" at Norwich Crash Inquest
Jan 24, 2013, 09:03 ET
LONDON, January 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
An inquest in Norwich has heard how a young woman involved in a road accident collision might have lived if emergency services had acted sooner to remove her from the car.
Following a two-day hearing into the death of Catherine Barton, 27, of Brandon, the Coroner Mr Armstrong recorded a narrative verdict in which he cited "individual and systemic failings" in the emergency response and her treatment at the scene.
Etalon Anderson, of Fentons Personal Injury Solicitors LLP, said that the Coroner accepted that had Catherine received treatment sooner, and had she been removed from her Ford Ka more quickly after the incident on August 5 2011, then she may have survived her injuries.
Mrs Anderson added that the Coroner had said he intended to make "Rule 43" recommendations regarding the ambulance, police and fire services in attendance. "Rule 43 is used by a Coroner who believes that action should be taken to prevent the recurrence of fatalities similar to that in respect of which the inquest is being held," said Mrs Anderson, an Associate with Fentons. "He can report the matter in writing to the person or authority that may have the power to then take such action as to prevent this type of thing happening again."
Following the conclusion of the inquest at Norwich Coroner's Court on Friday 18 January, Mrs Anderson issued the following statement on behalf of the family:
"The Barton family has been left devastated by this tragic chain of events. To have lost Catherine at such a young age has caused them indescribable distress.
"They are pleased that the Coroner has thoroughly investigated the circumstances of this awful tragedy, not just the accident itself but also the care and treatment Catherine received immediately afterwards.
"As we consider our next course of action, it would be inappropriate to offer any further comment and we would request that the media respect the family's privacy at this time."

Secretary-General Kofi Annan launches Commission on Private Sector and Development
Canada's Paul Martin, Mexico's Ernesto Zedillo will lead Commission
United Nations, 25 July 2003— Secretary-General Kofi Annan officially announced the formation of a high-level Commission on the Private Sector and Development, an initiative organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and co-chaired by Paul Martin, the former Canadian Finance Minister, and Ernesto Zedillo, the former President of Mexico.
"The birth of this commission is yet another illustration of the rapidly growing partnership between the United Nations and the private sector. It also underscores the importance of that partnership in our work to reach the Millennium Development Goals – a blueprint for building a better world in the 21st century," said Annan.
"We cannot reach these goals without support from the private sector," the Secretary-General added. "Most of all, we cannot reach them without a strong private sector in the developing countries themselves, to create jobs and build prosperity.
Secretary-General Annan was joined by Paul Martin, Ernesto Zedillo and Mark Malloch Brown, Administrator of the UNDP at a news conference announcing the establishment of the Commission today at UN headquarters.
Paul Martin, a member of Canada's Parliament and a candidate for the leadership of the governing Liberal party, has played a pioneering role in many key international economic development initiatives over the past decade, including the founding of the "Group of 20" forum that brought together finance ministers from developing nations and the G-7 countries.
"People want a hand up, not a hand out," said Martin. "The world today has both an obligation and the knowledge to create those chances for local businesses in developing countries."
"Our aim is to place the ambitions of local businesses at the heart of the development strategy," he added.
Ernesto Zedillo, who as president of Mexico from 1994 to 2000 led his country's continuing economic opening and deepening democratization, served as chair of the high-level panel that laid the groundwork for the 2002 UN Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey. President Zedillo is currently leading the UN Millennium Project's research effort on trade and financial issues and heads the Yale University Center for the Study of Globalization.
"There cannot be human development without economic growth, nor can there be economic growth without human development," said Zedillo. "A fundamental ingredient of growth is the private sector. We are pleased that the Secretary-General is challenging the world to go deeper and try to energize small businesses in developing in countries."
The 16 Commission members were selected because they offered a wealth of real-world business and policy expertise in both the industrialized and the developing world, and because they share the belief that private investment must be the main source of income growth and job creation in poor countries as it is in the industrialized nations, Malloch Brown said.
"The Commission views this belief as the critical key to turn in the door of development," said Malloch Brown.
The other 14 Commission members are:
• Eduardo Aninat, former Deputy Managing Director, International Monetary Fund
• Jorge Castañeda, former Foreign Secretary of Mexico
• Hernando De Soto, President, Peru Institute for Liberty and Democracy
• Luisa Diogo, Minister of Planning and Finance, Mozambique
• Carleton Fiorina, President and CEO, Hewlett Packard
• Rajat Gupta, Senior Partner Worldwide, McKinsey & Co.
• Anne Lauvergeon, President and CEO, COGEMA
• Jannik Lindbaek, Chairman of the Board, Norwegian Investment Bank
• Peter McPherson, President of Michigan State University (on leave)
• Noureddine Mejdoub, Ambassador of Tunisia to the United States
• Alan Patricof, Vice-Chairman and Founder, Apax Partners
• Kwame Pianim, CEO, New World Investments
• C.K. Prahalad, Professor of Business Administration, University of Michigan
• Robert Rubin, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Citigroup and former United States Treasury Secretary
• Miko Rwayitare, President and Executive Chairman, Telcel International.
Commissioners agree too that alongside efforts to attract foreign investment, at least equal energy should be directed at mobilizing and unleashing domestic capital. In the industrialized world, private financing can underwrite essential public utilities like power plants and water systems, as is done routinely in the bond markets of the U.S. and Canada. This is rarely possible for similar projects in the developing world—often because of outmoded regulatory structures and underdeveloped capital markets. Yet many poor countries have substantial untapped financial resources.
Commission member Hernando de Soto has stressed the need to unlock the private capital potential of developing countries. He estimates that roughly $9.3 trillion in land value, largely in the hands of the world's poor, lies unexploited for use as collateral to spur investment and growth. This contrasts with countries like Canada, the United States and most in Western Europe, where a modest home, a small plot of land or a solid credit history can be enough to secure a loan. But such small-scale loans are hard to obtain in developing countries, which often lack the necessary institutional arrangements such as credit agencies and clear property rights.
The Commission will evaluate requirements for an "enabling regulatory environment" that could spur business growth. Even when budget deficits and inflation are controlled, private investment is often inhibited by national and local bureaucratic impediments. Commission members intend to analyze how legal restrictions keep huge informal resources from taking advantage of the resources of the mainstream private sector, such as savings and credit institutions, the monetizing of assets, insurance, and clear property rights.
Commissioners also plan to study examples of companies in the developing world that are both highly profitable and clearly beneficial to their nations' overall development needs. In many of these cases, policymakers had eliminated key legal obstacles and bottlenecks or created new institutional mechanisms to facilitate the investment that allowed these enterprises to flourish.
However, too often the community of small businesses in developing countries is not part of the global development debate, in contrast to civil society organizations and the government, noted Malloch Brown.
"The lost voice in the development debate is the voice of the local businessman," he said.
The Commission will report back to the Secretary-General before the end of the year with concrete policy recommendations for developing and developed countries and multilateral development agencies. The Commission will also seek to highlight successful initiatives already underway in the field of private sector development.
"Within the Commission on Private Sector and Development our focus is on a very uncommission-like second phase where we will be trying out some of the ideas in the field to make these new approaches succeed," said Malloch Brown.

WASHINGTON – In an effort to make it more difficult for the news media to divulge secret programs, America's top intelligence official plans to seek more non-criminal leak investigations and to require intelligence agency employees to answer in polygraph examinations whether they have disclosed classified information to journalists, his office announced Monday.
"These efforts will reinforce our professional values," said Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who has been vocal in criticizing recent news stories that detailed classified intelligence programs.
Leak investigations are notoriously difficult to pursue, and the Justice Department has generally refrained from seeking prosecutions. So Clapper said he will ask the Intelligence Community Inspector General to lead administrative leak investigations in cases when federal lawyers decline to press criminal charges.
"This will ensure that selected unauthorized disclosure cases suitable for administrative investigations are not closed prematurely," Clapper's office said in a statement.

Karmanos Cancer Institute Announces Successful Completion of Herrick Cancer Research Challenge
Feb 18, 2013, 07:05 ET
DETROIT, Feb. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute has announced the successful completion of the $3 million Herrick Cancer Research Challenge, with an approximately $5.7 million total impact, exceeding challenge goals. The total impact includes grant dollars contributed by the Herrick Foundation and challenge funds given by donors.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20071106/KARMANOSLOGO)
The Herrick Foundation made an initial donation of $1 million in 2009 to launch the challenge, which specified that up to $2 million additional dollars would be matched if the additional monies could be raised by Karmanos Cancer Institute over four years. Challenge funds have supported various areas of research at Karmanos, including the Institute's National Oncogenomics and Molecular Imaging Center, pediatric leukemia, lung cancer, new imaging technologies for cancer detection and treatment, and prostate cancer.
"We are thrilled to have successfully met the Herrick Cancer Research Challenge by surpassing our fundraising goals to support the innovative research programs at Karmanos," said Gerold Bepler, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO of Karmanos. "We thank the Herrick family for their extremely generous gift of $3 million and our other thoughtful donors who helped us meet the challenge.
"Because of this combined support, our scientific researchers can advance their important work in developing new therapies and cutting-edge cancer detection technologies, which include the pursuit of personalized medicine for the benefit of our patients."
One specific area Herrick Challenge funds helped to support is in prostate cancer research. Researchers at Karmanos and Wayne State University School of Medicine are investigating this form of cancer and the racial disparities behind more aggressive and recurrent prostate cancer. They are using DNA and serum samples from patients to study the association between metabolic syndrome and aggressive prostate cancer. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that include increased blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, excess body fat around the waist or abnormal cholesterol levels, which occur together, increasing a person's risk of disease, including aggressive prostate cancer.
The project goal is to develop a way to detect prostate cancer early and to understand its likelihood of recurrence considering prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in men. Herrick Funds also have helped to add new research jobs at Karmanos in association with this project and allowed researchers to secure additional, harder-to-obtain funding to continue their work.
"Individuals like the Herricks help us to press forward with the innovative work that we conduct here at the Institute," said Nick Karmanos, senior vice president of Institutional Relations at Karmanos. "Our donors provide crucial support for our scientists, who are on the front lines of pioneering cancer research, and for our patients who are battling this terrible disease. We thank the Herricks for their incredible generosity and dedication to the eventual eradication of cancer."
About the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute
Located in mid-town Detroit, Michigan, the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute is one of 41 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States. Caring for nearly 6,000 new patients annually on a budget of $265 million, conducting more than 700 cancer-specific scientific investigation programs and clinical trials, Karmanos is among the nation's best cancer centers. Through the commitment of 1,000 staff, including nearly 300 physicians and researchers on faculty at the Wayne State University School of Medicine, and supported by thousands of volunteer and financial donors, Karmanos strives to prevent, detect and eradicate all forms of cancer. Its long-term partnership with the WSU School of Medicine enhances the collaboration of critical research and academics related to cancer care. Gerold Bepler, M.D., Ph.D., is the Institute's president and chief executive officer. For more information call 1-800-KARMANOS or go to www.karmanos.org.

martin wrote:32 wrote:martin wrote:The great Bob Fuckgerald always said something along these lines during last season: "how often will the warriors (or this and that player) shoot so bad?". I don't buy these kind of arguments.
Yes they will shoot better, but phoenix shot as bad as we did. I saw two bad offensive teams out there.
Fuckgerald.... Nice.
But poor puns aside, if you don't believe David Lee and Steph Curry are going to shoot a great deal better than they did tonight, you may as well stop watching now. Those are our two biggest shot-takers and they both absolutely blew tonight. Curry missed all 6 of his three's and shot 14%. Lee (a career 50% shooter) shot 12%. If you don't believe the Warriors are going to shoot drastically better on most nights, or that they have the personnel to be a dangerous offensive team, pull a JSW and just become a Pistons fan now. Arguing that the offense is in trouble because the two guys taking the most shots were off lacks foresight. You gotta be more patient bro.martin wrote:Did you see any pick 'n' roll? Yes, I thought the same.
Good, then we both saw pick-and-rolls. Problem is, Lee couldn't finish them.
We also saw punch isolation from Landry and high-post options for Bogut. The front court will be a huge part of this team. Again, be patient.martin wrote:Our starting five has ways to go to be a consistent, coherent, not eye killing team on the court. Let the rosy teddy bear drown for a moment.
4-for-30. That's what our offensive duo put up tonight. Hell, even Thompson was 2-for-9 inside the arc. Phoenix played aggressive defense and you gotta give them credit for bothering our shooters. Won't happen every night.
I realize it was ugly to watch at times, but Barnes flashed athleticism that a few people were concerned about and, for Chrissakes, Bogut was in uniform - which is the best news of the year so far. The bench needs no explanation.martin wrote:Besides Bogut I saw no one with any kind of a balls there.
Then you tuned out when Ezeli was in the game. He drew an off-the-ball foul on Gortat after literally LIFTING him with one arm and getting inside position for a dunk. When the whistle blew, Gortat looked at his bench with a total, "What do you want me to do to stop this monster??" look. 3 steals, 5 boards.
You also must have missed Landry dominating the paint inside: 7-for-9, 6 boards, 3 free throws, +13 on the night. Fitz often referred to the low block as "Landry's office". You'll understand why within 2 weeks of the season. He's instant inside offense off the bench. Nobody on Phoenix had any hope of slowing him down.martin wrote:The bench is another thing. Bench won us a game big time. That is depth, and that is FO job done well.
You can say that again.
The Big 3 (Landry, Rush, and Jack) accounted for 41 points (16-for-25), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, and all left with positive plus-minus ratings: +13, +3, and +7 respectively.
just a quick recap, i didn't say curry and lee will be shooting that bad. i said the team (starting unit) lacked open shots, they were not consistently created - both lee and curry are finesse players, for them to operate at high efficiency they need space. i don't like lee on iso's, especially against forwards. these results in bad shots. monta like.
the thing about curry that gets me worried, and that might be conjecture, but could it be that his ankle is bothering him, his shot looked ugly and his movement not so crisp, maybe it's conditioning.
yes, our team should be capable of great offense, but it remains to be seen if jackson can bring it out of them, it looks like first team is on a strong leash, while second team is allowed to improvise more. and for the second year under jackson, reserves outplay our starters.
re: balls, i meant starting unit.
as for reserves i'd add rush to the category of ballicious camp - his two blocks (wrongly called as fouls) were nasty. and his dunk also.
i see potential in harrison barnes, he need to keep driving and be aggressive, if he'd made that reverse driving dunk it would've been the highlight of the night.
as i told you, i have huge reservations about lee in current starting unit - for it to thrive he must forget being a man and do the passing thing. there's just too much ball stopping during the game. not only lee's fault, mind you. it looks a bit lost out there. our offense. just like last season. and we supposedly have better personel. coaching perhaps?
i know we haven't won in phoenix for years, so it's good to get that. but phoenix isn't a household name. their big three (gortat, dragic, scola) are largely average, well, besides scola, maybe.
so, i'm not sure i have seen enough to make strict conclusions about what i saw yesterday and how it will transpire into next game. grizzlies should be a good test. they are big and gritty and nasty.
Disliking Lee on isolations after he put up 2 makes on 16 attempts isn't an argument I'm going to open up, but I'll simply say that I disagree. In my opinion, Lee is among the best PF's at scoring the ball and the fact that he can put the ball on the floor, pass out of multiple coverage, and knock down jumpers out to 18 feet are what I base that on. I agree that he's extremely effective on a pick-and-roll or a pick-and-pop, but I believe in his ability to score in isolated coverage.
I agree with you in that Lee can appear "Monta-like" in isolation, but seeing as Monta was our best option for the past 4 years in terms of iso's, I don't necessarily see what's wrong with that.
Your original post on this page said you saw "two bad offenses" last night. We'll see tomorrow how poor the Warriors offense looks at home, but I'm going to go ahead and proclaim ahead of time: we disagree as far as their label of good or bad. I think the Warriors had a bad game; doesn't make them a bad offense. And they still won.


text: A positive and fresh tune for celebrating summer's moment. A bright delayed electric guitar arpeggio starts up the track, then powerful drum and bass line fill the air. Elegant and fresh, lots of colors added in the ending. Suitable for showcase, slideshows, video projects, podcast, app and more. Enjoy and rate it!


text: I dreamed about an UFO crossing over our world; searching the planet and exploring the human race; that's where the name 'Explorer' comes from. Instruments I used recording it: Fender Jazz bass, Oberheim synthesizer, Fender Telecaster. There a mute guitars delayed playing over the tune with a nice live funk bass and synthesized bass lines driven through filters. Tonality is E-Minor. Also there are some nice delayed funky bass solo fills, to hear!

Automobiles winner
The winner for this week's SunShots series "Automobiles" is Matthew Tompkins for a humorous photo of his wife Christina and 3-year-old son Nicholas as they appear to be holding up a Lamborghini, shot at the company museum in Italy. Giving credit where it is due, Christina actually staged the photo for her husband to take with her Canon Rebel T2i camera. Here is a critique from Baltimore Sun director of photography Robert Hamilton: "Funny and imaginative pictures are always a pleasant surprise. When I came up with the category, there's no way I could have imagined something like this. This would have been a total home run if it had been just the 3-year-old holding up the car. He did a great acting job for the picture."

The New England Patriots did not add a punter to their roster Saturday.
As we pointed out Friday, the Patriots refraining from adding a punter this week is a good sign that Ryan Allen is fine after injuring his shoulder last week against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Patriots believe Allen will play Sunday versus the Denver Broncos, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday, according to a person informed of Allen's health. Rapoport later added Sunday on "NFL GameDay Morning" that Ryan will be a go for the game. The punter has a sprained AC joint.
Kicker Stephen Gostkowski filled in after Allen was injured in the first half of the divisional round. Gostkowski's stellar performance surely bolstered the Patriots' confidence that they would be safe if Allen happened to aggravate his injury.
Of course, there always is another reason not to add a punter....
Well, there is that option... RT @Jman0329: @RapSheet Or they have no plans of punting.â Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet)

Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to make movies
After about a 35 year detour I started acting in
community theater. In November of 2006 I bought my
first camcorder, in December of that same year I
discovered video blogging (vlogging).
It changed everything.
Since then I have made some short films, traveled the
country, documented my life, made new friends and
discovered how small the world really is.

7 minutes?!?!Brian and Ericka really took quite awhile shooting the veggies then. Wow, i can't believe Gary and Matt completed the Detour in less than 7 minutes, they could have beaten the 2 other all-male teams!
Gary and Matt started tasks on arrival in Tallinn with a 20 minute Speed Bump, including transportation to and from. They were eliminated basically because their catchup efforts, although laudable, did not get beyond 13 minutes on all succeeding tasks. So Matt's apparent mishaps on "Candelabra" did not really hurt them except that it prevented him from doing the ROADBLOCK quicker.
Gary from our season of the Race has sent one birthday card back and forth with his sister for 32 years. He brought a copy of the card on the Race and we all signed it in the green room in Japan. Today is her birthday and it's Gary's goal to have 1,000 people view this video he made. I thought you would think it's neat and feel free to post it on RFF. Hope things are well. Take care Meghan

Test Kitchen-Approved
Author Notes: If you don't like or have bottarga just use sesame seeds. They are a perfectly wonderful substitution. I squeeze a lot of the liquid out of the spinach after cooking but I always take care not to over squeeze. If the spinach becomes to dry it gives you the feeling of a sponge sucking all the moisture from you mouth when you eat it. —thirschfeld
Serves: 4
1 1/2
pounds baby spinach
tablespoon canola oil
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
tamari diluted with water to taste, this is if you are using sesame seeds
In This Recipe
- You may have to do this in batches if your sauté pan isn't big enough. Just make sure you cool each batch individually as you go.
- Heat a large 14 inch sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and once it is hot add the spinach. Sear it and turn it, season with a healthy pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Once it is wilted dump it into a strainer. Rinse it briefly with cold water just to cool it enough to handle. Squeeze out most of the excess water but not all.
- Divide the spinach into 4 portions and form it into balls then make it into a rectangle squeezing the spinach together so it will hold its shape. Shave the bottarga over the top and serve. Alternatively sprinkle with a little tamari and top with sesame seeds. Serve.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Make Your Own Soda by Anton Nocito
Soda gets a bad rap these days, but that's largely because of all the corn syrup, artificial flavors, and other junk that goes into commercially produced beverages. Homemade soda is a different story. Grab some fresh produce, a bottle of seltzer water, and a copy of Anton Nocito's Make Your Own Soda, and you'll be mixing your own vibrantly flavored, natural sodas in no time.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Anton Nocito
• Who published it: Clarkson Potter
• Number of recipes: 70
• Recipes for right now: Lemon Verbena Syrup; Lavender Golden Raisin Syrup; Raspberry-Dried Apricot Shrub Syrup; Anise Hyssop and Strawberry Ice Cream Soda; Kumquat, St-Germain, and Prosecco; Chocolate Tea with Mint Syrup
• Other highlights: Anton Nocito is the founder of Brooklyn's P&H Soda Co., and he's passionate about all-natural sodas made from good ingredients like seasonal produce, herbs, and spices.

Is the Greek Crisis a Harbinger of Our Future?
Sunday, 07 October 2012 08:35 By Sarah Page, Truthout | News Analysis
Bank-imposed Greek economic collapse and austerity policies have resulted in social and political as well as economic impacts that may foreshadow what the rest of the so-called developed world can expect.
In August 2012, the unemployment rate in Greece was 23.1 percent, with over 1 million people out of work. Fifty-five percent of Greek youth aged 15-24 are out of work. Nikolaos Tsangos, an unemployed student in North Heraklion, says, "Every day is harder and the things the troika are doing are making it worse. People don't have money to buy food or anything, so businesses are out of jobs every day. In my family we've decreased the amount of our weekly supermarket shopping by about 50 percent."
"The first visual sign of the crisis is traffic. There are no cars in the streets. Big avenues and streets in Athens are empty, when two years ago traffic jams were a huge problem," relates Katia, a self-employed woman from Athens (who prefers her real name not be used).
Niki Kerameus, a lawyer in Athens, explains that as one strolls through Athens, "On the most commercial and expensive streets, one-fourth of the stores are closed down." You can sense the crisis on a social level as well; as Kerameus indicates, "People don't go out anymore." Kerameus adds: "Even in the richest neighborhoods, you see people going through garbage. Begging is very common, and it didn't used to be that way. A large section of the middle class with steady jobs and houses are now lining up at soup kitchens. Often you see people dressed for work in suits in line to receive food."
In late 2009, the people of Greece learned that their government had "falsified budget figures, concealing a swollen debt that was growing rapidly in the wake of the global economic meltdown." Its foreign lenders, the "troika," consisting of the European Commission, European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), have supplied Greece with loans, ostensibly to help the country weather the crisis. However, the funds mostly cover only the interest on the country's massive debt. Meanwhile, the troika has provided the loans on condition that the country enforce harsh austerity measures. Greece is now on the verge of a humanitarian crisis and its people have been re-discovering community-oriented values and taking their frustrations to the streets.
The economic crisis in Greece is encouraging new values among the Greek people. Kerameus has started an NGO with friend called Desmos, which helps match donated goods with people who need them the most. Kerameus and her friends had studied and worked in the United States, where they became exposed to volunteering. They felt they had to help people weather the crisis in Greece. "The culture of volunteering is not so much in the generation of young people in their 20s to 40s in Greece right now," Kerameus explains. She was particularly impressed by an NGO in New York City, called City Harvest, which organizes trucks to pick up leftover food from restaurants and deliver it to shelters.
In addition to the value of volunteerism, Greeks are experimenting with taking control of their local economies through grassroots activism. Consider the "potato movement," for example. "The seminal event of the movement was a free distribution of more than ten tons of spuds in the center of Greece's northern metropolis, Thessaloniki," reported Al Jazeera's John Psaropoulos. The farmers involved in the distribution were "protesting against imports of Egyptian potatoes - while they had barns full of the Greek product - after a meeting between the agriculture minister and potato importers days earlier failed to yield any concessions."
Greek protests have become legendary. There is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to the protests, which began on May 5 in 2010, against plans to cut public spending and raise taxes. Some of the protests have turned violent, with accusations of police brutality being reported by several international media and other organizations. The Greeks I spoke with mainly supported the protests, though they expressed concerns about violence.
Katia observes, "I never participated in protests because I always know the outcome. After a while, some people with masks or helmets come along with bats and stones, and general beating and burning of the Athens center will begin."
"This is something that happens since the mid 80s," said Katia. "So, most people, due to this, don't participate. In the last two years, though, there have been proof that these groups work with the police. Plenty of pictures with them and police task forces came on the Internet. We always had in the back of our minds that they had something to do with the government, because they always showed up at the most convenient moment for the government."
Tsangos, the out-of-work student, relates: "I went into the movement of aganaktismenoi (frustrated people) in Athens, though the movement did not fully express my ideology. I think politicians don't give a shit about if the people is hungry or protest in millions."
Of the protesters, he said: "I feel they are doing the right thing, but I don't think it's working. Because, as I say, politicians just don't care about the people. Especially the two big parties."
The phrase "two big parties" should resonate with Americans. Indeed, the situation in Greece parallels and intersects the economic and political situation in America.
At an Occupy San Francisco rally for solidarity with Greece on February 17, 2012, "a speaker from Greece, Maria, stood with a megaphone describing the economic tragedy that is unfolding for the Greek people," Beth Seligman reported on the Occupy SF web site. "Children are fainting in schools due to lack of food," said Maria. "This austerity package sets up the country for privatization where the people will have to sell off their water, their sewage, their telecommunications and their natural resources which includes coal and oil. It will lead to the country's resources being pillaged." John Perkins, author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," explains on The Huffington Post:
Greece has been struck by economic hit men.... The Greek people were not the ones who agreed to accept these debts and for the most part they did not benefit from them; yet they will be burdened for years to come because they were hoodwinked by the international banking community and their own corrupt leaders.... In my books, I write about how world economics and politics today are controlled by a very few people - the corporatocracy. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that whenever "debt restructuring" or "debt forgiveness" deals are struck they include privatizing parts of the economy that were previously considered public. Utilities, schools, prisons, even significant parts of the military are sold to multinational corps.
Consider the fact that Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government, according to a New York Times report, "quietly borrow billions of dollars" in a deal which was "hidden from public view because it was treated as a currency trade rather than a loan" and "helped Athens to meet Europe's deficit rules while continuing to spend beyond its means." And "in dozens of deals across the Continent, banks provided cash up-front in return for government payments in the future, with those liabilities then left off the books. Greece, for example, traded away the rights to airport fees and lottery proceeds in years to come."
In the United States, the Federal Reserve has provided secret bailout funds to banks. As a result of a historic first audit of the privately owned Federal Reserve, conducted thanks to Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vermont) amendment to the Wall Street reform law, "We now know that the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in total financial assistance to some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the United States and throughout the world," said Sanders. "This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you're-on-your-own individualism for everyone else."
In America, austerity is being applied through cuts to public services, such as libraries, schools and post offices; state and city employee layoffs; and increased taxes. According to Ben Polak and Peter K. Schott, economists at Yale University, the United States has seen "unprecedented austerity at the level of state and local governments, and this austerity has slowed the job recovery." Charalambos Petrakis, a self-employed English tutor, says, "Pensions have been reduced dramatically, most drugstores are closed and small businesses are closing."
"Pharmaceutical companies are not delivering drugs, and many people are dying from cancer and diabetes. Tourism has decreased and young people are leaving. People can stay alive, but we don't have any prospects," said Petrakis. "Austerity aggravates the situation. Without economic development, we can't pay back the banks or establish an economic foundation. The same thing is happening in Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, and Italy."
Pete Petrou, a self-employed English teacher, warns: "Sooner or later, other countries will face the results of a political system who produced consumers for its own good and the final result will be a general collapse, a humanitarian crisis. I hope this will not lead the world to war like it has happened in the past in similar circumstances."

FCC Wants To Know What Is Up With Google Voice App For iPhone Rejection
Google Voice For iPhone Saga.
ThechCrunch all three letters that FCC sent out. I enjoyed reading all of them. I specially like the letter to Apple. But what I don't like is that when all three companies report by August 21, they can request confidentiality on all or portions of their answers.
All the links at the bottom of the article.
We were all mad (more than normal) and some even gave up iPhone, reacting to Apple's decision to lick that big striped but hollow ball of AT&T and reject Google Voice iPhone App. (Some people like Andy Abramson, whom I respect has other ideas but I like the AT&T ball version.)
Now the big daddy of air and other signal carrying waves, FCC wants to know what is up with Google Voice App rejection and whole sale purging of other apps that supported Google Voice! Yes Me too, Way to Go FCC! FCC is requesting information from all three companies involved, Apple, AT&T and Google! Hey what about us?
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said it "has a mission to foster a competitive wireless marketplace, protect and empower consumers, and promote innovation and investment." But engadget wants more, they are asking Julius to fix, Slingbox and Skype. Hey I only know about Uninstalling Skype, specially now that Skype App runs on my iPhone and works great, I even bought Skype credit.
