|Topic Review (Newest First)

|I was just about to express my same astonishment. Just unbelievable, must be marketing blindness and how confident would you be going sailing with a new mast with the exact same spec, produced by the same "qualified" people same processes etc than the one that let you down not that long ago...
|19th May 2008 06:16 PM
I am astonished at seeing how people can ever keep choosing, among products with similar characteristics and performances, the one that will or could give them troubles.
There are a few makes that produce sails in the same league (at least) as NP ones: Gaastra, Maui Sails, North Sails (strictly in alphabetic order), maybe others. None of them have had the same problems with masts (in recent times at least) as Neil Pryde, none of them provide or try or threat to provide reduced or limited warranties on masts. Why should one still buy Neil Pryde race sails then?
More: having a mast replaced is not a solution, unless one has a back up and/or replacement is fast enough to avoid the new sail sitting unused for weeks while the conditions call.

the uk sale of good act does not stipulate a time frame- rather that the goods must be reasonably durable. 18 hours is not reasonably durable. If a uk seller was taken to court over this i would bet my bottom dollar that they would lose and the consumer would win. Reasonably durable would probably be at least 1 year- as a minimum. The wording of neil prydes warranty is irrelevant as the contract is between the consumer and the seller, or the shop. The warranty is between the shop/importer and the manufacturer.
secondly Neil pryde is wrong to say that if the mast had a fault it would fail in the first few hours of use. This is bullshit. Fatigue is a major composites failure mode that coud lead to failure over time, use cycles. It seems they are ignoring fatigue - which has got to make you laugh-what a load of shifty shisters!

Actually to me it looks like standard service if they never deny X9 claims.....
This is whay Kevin told me:
"NP accepts or denies warranty claims on X9 masts on a "case by case" basis. In my experience they have not denied any claims on X9 Ultra masts as a customer service. So, I would expect your claim to be honored. I've had very good luck with the new X9 Ultra masts - they seem to be holding up well, but there are always exceptions and NP has honored every claim I've made in those instances. They acknowledge the manufacturer has made some masts incorrectly, so they are being pro-active in honoring warranties as a customer service."
"I think the guys at ASI will be on your side. They'll do what they can to help keep you happy and using the products they sell.
I hope it works out for you...
Thanks, Kevin"

|What should be a standard basic service looks like a miracle...
|18th May 2008 06:07 AM
Just been checking out old threads.
To be fair to NPUSA I had a 530 X9 of the newer type break on me. It was 9 - 10 months old but used maybe 5 - 7 times. I had rigged the RSS sail and walked to get the board. I heard a big bang and felt my heart sink!
Anyway to make a long story short I wrote Kevin at NP Maui just for reassurance and asked what he would do and he said they would most likely cover it. So the claim was sent to Adventure sports and within a month I had a new mast sent!
I have to say I was very relieved and it restored my confidence in the service. I have always liked their sails, I hope the breakage was a one off!
|20th February 2008 04:13 AM
Sounds like a personal service and going the extra mile for the customer by the dealer.
Oh and talking of fast sails 2007 PWA slalom results Neil Pryde 1st with Maui sails 2nd.
|19th February 2008 10:20 PM
I support what JJay has to say. I also believe that having a good local dealer is a huge benefit when it comes to problems related to service and warrantee issues.
A good local dealer knows (through experience) which manufactures and distributors stand behind their gear, as well as shipping orders in a timely way.
No question that the dealer network has been strained for many years, but supporting those that remain in business is good for all of us. You may save a few $ purchasing over the internet, but if something breaks or doesn't work right, good luck.
|19th February 2008 05:56 PM
Hey there WK,,,,,,
Hi wk,,,,
A lot has been written on this thread. And i'm sure none of it makes you feel any better.
So when you get finished burning all your NP sails, call your local North Sails agent and order yourself some new gear!
I'm not attacking whoever sold you the mast, as i don't know if you were represented well by them. Maybe they went to bat for you and got refused by NP? I don't know?
However, as other posters on this thread have stated, having a rep/dealer/retailer who will give you personal service and go the extra mile for you is priceless and is part of the criteria I use for choosing a brand.
Your local North Sails agent is totally committed to her customers. The main reason i've become such a loyal and satisfied North customer is in fact due to her after sales support. I myself, and a number of others, continue to be loyal to her and the brand even though we are not living or sailing in your country.
So relax, buy an 08 warp, and go faster.
|19th February 2008 02:53 AM
It's a good to know how the warranty is interpreted when you're thinking of buying something.
However in the UK at least 'fit for purpose for what it's sold' is overriding and a small claims procedure doesn't need a lawyer, and can be done over the net
I recently got a free replacement for a non WS item out of guarantee just by threating this action.
But sure brand reputation counts for most, and NP formula masts are known to be for the 'bleeding edge' buyer only.

RJ Sangosti/Denver Post file photo
RJ Sangosti/Denver Post file photo
DENVER � Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes has offered to plead guilty and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty � a deal that would bring a swift end to the sometimes wrenching courtroom battle and circumvent a prolonged debate about his sanity.
Prosecutors haven�t said whether they would accept the offer, and victims and survivors of last summer�s massacre were divided about what should be done.
Melisa Cowden, whose ex-husband was killed in the theater, said Wednesday she was resolutely opposed to a plea deal.
�He didn�t give 12 people the chance to plea bargain and say, �Let�s see if you�re going to shoot me or not,�� said Cowden, whose two teenage daughters were with their father when he was killed.
�No. No plea bargain,� she said.
The attack during a crowded midnight showing of �The Dark Knight Rises� left a dozen people dead and 70 injured.
Prosecutors have said Holmes planned the assault for months, casing the theater complex in the Denver suburb of Aurora, amassing a small arsenal and rigging potentially deadly booby-traps in his apartment.
Then on July 20, he put on a police-style helmet and body armor, tossed a gas canister into the theater crowd and opened fire, prosecutors said.
The plea offer, made by Holmes� lawyers on his behalf earlier this month, was disclosed Wednesday in a defense court filing. It was made public just days before the prosecution was set to announce whether they would seek the death penalty.
The filing didn�t include the specifics of the offer. It said only that Holmes would agree to life in prison without parole � instead of the death penalty � and didn�t mention any other concessions.
Pierce O�Farrill, who was shot three times, said he would welcome an agreement that would imprison Holmes for life. The years of court struggles ahead would likely be emotionally stressful for victims, he said.
�I don�t see his death bringing me peace,� O�Farrill said. �To me, my prayer for him was that he would spend the rest of his life in prison and hopefully, in all those years he has left, he could find God and ask for forgiveness himself.�
Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed, said he has wanted prosecutors to pursue the death penalty. But he said he wouldn�t object to a plea agreement if it avoided a lengthy court battle � and if Holmes got no privileges in prison.
�That was kind of a sore point with us,� he said, referring to privileges such as outside exercise or listening to music. �We didn�t think this kind of person should have any kind of privileges except the bare essentials.�
Holmes, a former graduate student at the University of Colorado, Denver, had seen a psychiatrist at the school before the shootings.
His lawyers have said he was taken to a hospital psychiatric ward in November because he was considered a threat to himself. Holmes was held there for several days and spent much of the time in restraints.
In their court filing, Holmes� lawyers again said they were exploring a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity and would mount a vigorous defense if prosecutors rejected the plea offer and the case goes to trial.

The Pagosa Springs teen who went missing Thursday has turned up in a Denver suburb.
Dillon McKee, 17, called his mother early Sunday afternoon from Englewood, Archuleta County Sheriff�s Detective Brandon Bishop said Monday.
�I talked to the Englewood police,� Bishop said. �Dillon is OK, nothing wrong with him.�
Bishop said the teen�s mother drove to Englewood to pick him up. They were expected to return to Pagosa Springs Monday afternoon.
Bishop couldn�t release the names of Dillon�s parents until it was authorized by the sheriff.
Dillon was seen about 3:30 a.m. Thursday with an unidentified woman buying gasoline at a Giant station.
Bishop said after Dillon was reported missing that foul play was not suspected. He said it appeared to be a runaway case.

Id sit blake
I want Doc to sit Blake also, but I want Blake to dunk on that punk Bazemore. This might be his last chance to do that
It wouldn't be right to not have a monster dunk by Blake in a game vs the Lakers. But I agree, I would vote for Doc to rest Blake for this one. Blake should save his energy for the Thunder on Wednesday.
But if Blake doesn't play this won't happen again...
... and we'll only win by 20 pts.
Let Blake play for one quarter and lets bury the lakers before Blake rest, I'm fine for 60 points.
Rest Blake. I'd rather have him fresher for the OKC game.
Easy answer:
Doc and Antoni make a deal that we promise to keep the score within 15 if Kunt Bazemore lays on his back and gets T-bagged by Blake at halftime.
It's a good deal for them... it might happen 3 or 4 times during the game.
Me too! Is he fit enough to make him playing an option?
I found JQuick's favorite player on Instagram.
LOL. One of the worst flops I've ever seen.
Wish Granger was playing hope we finish this early.
Lets score 200 today!
Over or under? Clips margin of victory at 25.
We need to step on their throats early, IMO. Enough of the current trends of playing down to competition and nearly every game having to be a comeback win. Beat these bitches by 50 this time, not just 48!
Show no mercy on the Lakers, Clips! Put this in the refrigerator early in the game and let the starters rest and the bench play.
F 50. Let's beat them by 100.
I'm trying to be a little realistic here.
I call Reddick drops 30+ and Big Baby drop 15+
Blake's actually playing? Let's hope he scores 20 in the first quarter and sits the rest of the game.
So far so good. Pringles already shaking his head lol.
Hilarious to see MDA shake his head after that awesome alley oop dunk by Blake, lol.
This is Reddick first start with Matt Barnes and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan! EVER!!
I love how every Clippers/Lakers game now features GIF-worthy facial expressions from the Lakers, whether it's Kobrick facepalming, Kupcake's blank stare, or Pringles shaking his head in disbelief.
Good start JJ attacking show confidence mentalky past his injury.
Redick looking sooooo rusty
Well duh, he's just coming back from missing most of the season.
Ok that was terrible defense on Hill.
Come on Blake make free throws
Too sloppy and trying to make the spectacular play.
The announcers keep raving about the clippers as they play a bad game
Great steal by DC for a fast break dunk. I expect the lead to be even more than 5 soon, lol.
they going hard for the highlight plays.
LOL, the Lakers are paying the 40 year old, Steve Nash, $10 mill next season. I didn't realize it was that bad until the guys on ABC talked about it. Considering they already resigned Kobe, the Lakers have A LOT of money invested in old guys wearing suits on the bench.
Gotta cut down on the sloppiness and stop trying to hard to make flashy plays if we want to extend the lead, though.
Man they are really sloppy today.
Darn, Clippers are playing sloppily.
This reminds me of last time we played them, tons of turnovers and sloppiness early.
And Nick Young ties it. Sheesh.
Not a good quarter, adjustments need to be made.
Clippers had 7 turnovers in the first quarter. They have to shore this up and play better to get the huge separation we're expecting.
Perfect, we'll win by 40+ then.
Those were my exact thoughts. This game looks so similar in comparison.
Except we had atleast 40 by the end of the first
Annoyingly, unless we somehow repeat the huge run from last game, this is looking like one of those games where the team slacks off until halftime and then has to get separation in the third.
Nick young just seems like a moron.
Dudley needs to make some free throws for once.

Thank you Bil and Jennifer
Thanks Bill
Good Lecture
No Nonsense
the power used to determine run time
Im more interested in dc power
Picking up day two
Thank you, very good information
no Hall-effect devices
shunt resistors, inductors, no transformers
using electronic and passive loads
Working on low voltage power supply optimiztaion
Hello from Oregon
thank you Bill,
low power
used series resistor and special sensing ICs
measure the power on the load side
measure dc power
Thank you, Bill!
@Jen - power being used
@Jen - line powered AC
Great to have access to the recorded sessions!
Missed the live lecture again...
most applications are low power, under 10W per device.
Thanks Bill and Jennifer.
concerned with battery power supply and measuring power cionsumed by the device.
< 10 Watts
Thanks Bill. Excellent presentation.
Low Power
good day to all
thank you
great presentation Bill, how would you rate the 4 transducer types in terms of cost and reliability?
thank you good info
thanks bill.
thanks Bill
@davet22: Thanks for the part number. I've got the data sheet on it now.
I'll get tomorrows class as an archive. I'll be back on Thursday. Rick
According to my NIST clock, we just passed the start of the hour. So it is goodbye until tomorrow--hopefully we will "see" you again then.
Ah, understood. Live chat has its limits, I see...
Bill, I haven't used a Hall device is series for measureing current. I asked the question about series resistance because that application was mentioned during the slides on using Hall devices with a fixed magnetic field present.
Counting down, will be here about 5 more minutes. And Dave, thanks for your answer to RSwanson, I may be misinterpreting his question.
rswanson: I have used Allegro ACS713 series devices that include the current conduction (metal bar) path internally in the IC for super ease of use and I believe much more accuracy. It's series resistance spec is about 1.2mOHM
rswanson--why are you using a Hall device in series? The Halld device is "freestanding" with respect to the wire/line of interest?
Hydrogent--the answer is the usual: it depends. It depends on the distance, oritentation, etc. But remember--a toroidal coil is (in theory) ontl affected by the field within, not outside of the toroid.
Hi Bill, just restateing a question I had earlier. In using Hall sensors for series current measurement, what is a typical series resistance of the Hall device?
Bill, Does this mean that mag field from phase 1 won't affect Ro coil on phase 2?
See you tomorrow everyone!
Suzie--I will look for sources on higher current--but usually the transducer vendors have very good app notes. And there are also regualtory standards which you don;t have to follow, but may be worth a look at.
thanks , hear you tomorrow again.
Suzie, I suggest to talk to the shunt makers about drift at various current levels - they should be able to tell you precisely what happens.
Sorry, I was looking at the wrong chat screen--we're here now.
Got your response Bill...Thanks!
Hydrogent: Three coils--shouldn't have any interaction--especially as they are toroids.
I really enjoyed the presentation, though.
@hydrogent. what are you reading the coils with.
Suzie--use the vendor numbers, don;t try to re-evaluete them
Great Continuing Education.
I wondered what was going on. We can't see the responses from Bill???
Thanks Bill. I guess you are not on-line
More Analog Functions.
Using 3 Rogowski coils on 3 phase & concerned about interaction inside panel box. Anybody have experience with this?
It appears that the answers go only back to the ouestion submitter. That is a disappointment as it would be possible to learn if we all could see the responses. This feature and yeaterday's troubles make this course of much less value than it could have been.
Finally works
One question that I have concerning shunts. We have various values of bar shunts here at our lab that we use for measuring current levels from 10a to 5000a. Is it necessary to actually prove the resistive value at various temperature due to self-heating, or is it acceptable to use thermal coefficients from the manufacturer? Also, in dealing with the high current, it is also important on the physical connections and orientation of the connections. Do you have any good sources of information on this topic?
Bill, are you here with us on the chat line?
have used all four transducer types in low and high power applications.
place a fixed cal current line to set your circuit base line.
High Power
One thing I've encounter quite often with Hall Effect sensors used in the AC/DC type current probes you mentioned is the DC zero value is often drifting/shifting. You must have a means of nulling the "zero" point.
In using Hall devices for series current measurement, what is the series resistance typically seen in the Hall device?
High power
Both! We deal with low and high power apps!
> 100 watts for my current application (AC)
Interested in lower power DC as well.
Milliwatts to < 10Kw
low (mW) and high (<1KW)
Both over and under 100 W.
Thanks -- very clear
Thx. Bill and Jen
Both fractional microwatts to thousand of watts applications.
good info
Thanks Bill!
Bill, Great intro & refresher!
thanks Bill.
Under 10 W
Designing 12.5KVA driver
lower power regiment
I had to re-start the webinar in order to get an audio ikon
Thank you bill
Thanks Bill...
@Jennifer- Lower Power
Low power.
Higher Power
Low power
thanks so much, Bill!
Very easy and clear speech flow
Does Hall sensors work for measuring high voltage pulses like 10kv eg solar fense parameter monitoring
@Bill Thanks for today's the session.
what about safety issues w/CTs? 5A CTs can develop hazardous voltages. 1V & 0.33V CTs are much safer.
Bill, will you touch on power factor?
Bill, your intimate knowledge of the subject makes it easy and interesting. Thanks.
I have touched the speaker / mute icon before and the audio started
Try refresh.
Blairk - In a series circuit current is same everywhere, so shunt can be anywhere
my audio just went intermittent again!
You have to hit the triangle play button to hear the audio
AC/DC clamp meters
Is it better to place a shunt resistor before or after the load?
hello from miami.
If there is a player on this screen, my company has blocked it. :(
You have to download the slide from "Today's Slide Deck" above!
@lbeaty: You can download the powerpoint by clicking the Today's Slide Deck link just above the chat window.
@lbeaty- Would be a great trick if you do get video. There is none.
You mean i am not stupid? no, you didn't say that.
@lbeaty: Download the powerpoint by clicking the "Today's Slide Deck" link just above the live chat.
@lbeaty, there is only audio
@lbeaty: No video. Audio with powerpoint and live chat.
I must be stupid. I can't get any video. Frustrating.
dburris - all the variations of Ohms law are equally valid - it is a convenience to work with the info you have.
Now shouldnt you use the formula I squared x R for DC measurement for a more accurate measurement?
I would have to constantly press play in the latest IE switched to chrome and it works fine.
sound is good here
battery and power being used
Also DC power in motor drying applications
Line power both in and out of our products
Does the sound keep stopping for anyone else?
AC power and power used by units under test (Medium voltage down hole induction motors). Looking at PMM motor testing in the near future.
ok now
Actually both.
Hi All
More oftern than not I am measuring DC - Batteries and measuring current flow through a portion of the circuit, as well as the overall usage from teh battereis.
1. AC power for circuits in a home.
2. Power being used.
line power and DC switching supplies
battery power
power being used
power being delivered and being consumed be the circuits
We are measuring DC power most of the time.
We are measuring the efficiency so both.

Lakers spokesman John Black a statement saying: "In response to media inquiries and to dispel rumors and inaccurate reports, we'd like to state that Dr. Buss is in a local hospital where he is being treated for dehydration.
Uh oh!! The ol' dehydration statement, isn't that code for crazy or drugs??
Last time I recall "dehydration" is what the producer of the Kony 2012 video was suffering from when he was running down the San Diego streets naked.
Also remember Martin Lawrence back in the day running in the streets of Sherman Oaks yelling and screaming, I think that was "dehydration" as well.
What do you all think it is?
Why is Dr. Buss even relevant?
Its offseason, thought a change of pace might be good. And hey, who doesn't like to make fun of the Lakers. I know we have some funny people, I was hoping ClipperSam would add some interesting conspiracy theories that he is so good at
i just think he got dehydrated from crying his eyes out because griffin is a clipper for many years to come and wont be a flaker any time soon lol.

Recently Completed Programs
Workplace, Workforce, and Working Families
Sloan Centers on Working Families
To build a body of quality scholarship that provides perspective to and understanding of the lives of working families and the work conditions that affect them, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's program on Workplace, Work Force and Working Families created six Sloan Centers on Working Families. Four of these centers are engaged in ongoing research.
- The Center on Parents, Children and Work at NORC, University of Chicago and Michigan State University
- The Center on the Ethnography of Everyday Life of Families (CELF) at the University of California, Los Angeles
- The Center for Myth and Ritual in American Life (MARIAL) at Emory University
- The Center for the Ethnography of Everyday Life (CEEL) at the University of Michigan
The remaining two centers have completed their funded work.
- The Center on Working Families at the University of California, Berkeley
- The Employment and Family Careers Institute at Cornell University
Each of these interdisciplinary Centers is directed by leading scholars who have developed research programs built on their intellectual strengths. As a result, each Center has developed its own distinctive approach to its study of working families. In addition, the Centers have played an instrumental role in developing the next generation of scholars interested in studying working families.
Other important grantee partners include:
- The M.I.T Workplace Center, which is devoted to building—in theory and in practice—a mutually supportive relationship between the performance of firms and the well being of employees, their families, and communities
- The University of California Hastings Center for WorkLife Law, which researches the employment discrimination faced by parents and and other caregivers.

The UK pay-per-view website Deceased Online have announced the addition of almost 100,000 more burial records from South London. This latest update features four cemeteries from the London Borough of Merton, and includes burial records dating from 1883 up to the beginning of 2010 (although dates vary for each cemetery).
According to their website the cemeteries added are:
- Church Road Cemetery (also known as St Peter's & St Paul's Cemetery), Church Road, Mitcham, Surrey
- Gap Road Cemetery (also known as Wimbledon Cemetery), Gap Road, Wimbledon, London
- London Road Cemetery (also known as Figge's Marsh Cemetery), London Road, Mitcham, Surrey
- Merton & Sutton Joint Cemetery (also known as Garth Road Cemetery), Garth Road, Morden, Surrey
The London Borough of Merton joins the boroughs of Brent, Havering, Islington and Camden in having records available on the website. It is not just about London though, there are records from across the UK, the most relevant for me being the Kent and Sussex Crematorium.
You can find a complete list of all the cemeteries and crematoria already included on Deceased Online at their website, they are also busy "digitising nearly two million burial and cremation records to add to our database, from 15 burial and cremation authorities around the UK". There has never been a better time to look for dead people!

As she 'tuned' into the vibration of colour, the paintings became meditations and tools for spiritual awareness. The 45 Kaleidoscope cards were created and became part of programs for both adults and children.
Julie has taught both adults and children in workshops in Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania.

Jermaine O'Neal confronted Blake Griffin after the Los Angeles Clippers' win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
Griffin was talking to friends and taking pictures when O'Neal approached him in the postgame hallway.
"Why you going to walk up on me like that?" Griffin asked O'Neal. "Leave that ... on the court. Leave that ... on the court."
O'Neal snarled, shook Griffin's hand and walked away.
"Man, I'm a monster off the court," O'Neal said, turning away.
Before Griffin walked into the postgame interview room, he responded.
"Man, get out of here with that," Griffin said.
The two had gotten into an altercation in the fourth quarter on Wednesday.
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow ... z2vmkHqB9z
Mind games the handshake was odd if he wanted to intimidate Blake. No doubt Mark Jackson planted the seed if it was an intimidation move I'm hoping being a J.O. fan that him coming up to Blake was out of respect and Blake was being defensive when he saw him coming. Doc will figure it out and handle it.
Love this new blake. Dominate on the floor talk some **** and send these chumps home crying.
Warriors players are sore losers. I don't like them one bit. The game was over idk why oneal had to go up to Blake. They think being "thugs" will win games. They are fake thugs.
Yesterday clearly showed we are the better team. We beat them without Redick and Crawford.
Lol must be all the Kia money Blake is getting.
Hilarious... GS fans claiming that JO put some fear into Blake after that little hallway situation. haha.
its funny. O Niel confronts Blake after the game yet all these GSW fans swear their team isn't a bunch of thugs. But hey if I learned something from Memphis fans its that you can always excuse bad behavior by calling it "physical."
He should ask for a refund from the anger-management therapist he was forced to go to after the malice at the palace.
Has nothing to do with being a "Thug". Not sure what that is
suppose to mean. These guys are basketball players not "Thugs".
This story sounds odd and full of holes. Why would he confront him in
the hallway then shake his hand. Doesn't make sense.
LOL, apparently they didn't see how our whole team was laughing at Jermaine and his studio-gangsta act all game?
lol i really hope we match up with these pretenders in the first round
we have a problem with the Warriors players. They cheap shot our guys, hence I like to call them thugs. Warriors fans on the other hand deny their players do this, kind of how Grizzlies fans deny that their players are thugs too. O'Neal waiting for Blake and attempting to fight him while he was in the hallway just validates what type of culture they have over there. Now they can't deny how their players are
"Monster off the court" lol! easy to say than done, Blake might knock him out if they will fight mano y mano.
This is a question I've seen come up on other boards so I'll ask it here. Why is it so many bigs have an issue with Griffin? West was ejected for throwing the elbow at Griffin and I honestly didn't see anything to provoke him but he was pissed. I think he's had a couple of other players take issue with him to.
Well there are a lot of reasons that you may come up like shoving, pushing which of course are common for bigmen. But did you all the think of the other reason outside of basketball like a possibility that griffin has a unique hormone that stimulates aggression.
But Mark Jackson is a religious preacher! Lol. That two face persona that the players got from their coach
Clipper players, Collison in particular, should be used to playing against cry babies.
Yes, last night was amazing. My wife and I went down courtside to get photos with the players, and the Reverend himself was walking by. I yelled at him and called him a punk. He looks like a snake oil salesman
Great question.
I love blake and this isn't a critique, but he is clearly an instigator.
He is just smart enough not to get caught. Love it
What is he instigating, I mean if talking mess is instigating then How come Westbrook isn't attacked on a regular, I mean what about GP or MJ, they talked mess more than anybody. I mean please, it's freaking basketball, I myself talk mess every time I take the court and I really start popping off when somebody wants to take it their. This isn't tennis man, everybody runs their mouth, It's not instigating. I guess man, what do people want him to be like, DWIGHT HOWARD!!!! Quire boy Howard. Don't say anything Blake people can't handle your dominance they get mad and take things personal when you tell them they're not going to do nothing and your going to run through them "All Night Long". I mean why should we be so bothered with Blake getting hit, it's not like it's hurting the Team, we get a Free Basket every time it happens, good job Blake, he's been watching "The Undertaker", he's become a Master at Mind Games.
He embarrasses people by posterizing them, and his athleticism, strength, and motor make him extremely frustrating to guard, especially once you add in his passing skills and newly-improved jumper and FT's. Eventually, opposing bigs lose their cool and take it out on him hoping to "get in his head," but even that fails because Blake doesn't retaliate. The whole thing is stupid and boring, hopefully it's just a phase that eventually comes to an end as opposing players begin to accept that Blake is not going to give them their desired reaction.
He is very physical under the basket. I don't think he should change. But when he goes crashing to the floor tangled up with someone, usually he has some culpability. He plays mind games, which I like. He is smart. He frustrates others.
That's actually a very good question and there can only be 2 answers ,either they are tired of being embarrassed (and posterized) when they go up against him so they fight him, but my guess is that he is very good at trash talking at getting into their heads and we just don't hear it because we can't. I would love to mike-up Blake for a game and hear what may come out of his mouth. Afterall in his short career he has had tutelage from some of the best trash talkers in the league (Chauncy, CP3, an others).
Other thought,I can't believe the LA Times covered the incident as we have all heard and read about it,but it says the NBA is looking into how much to fine, if there is going to be a fine, O'Neal AND BLAKE for the incidents on and off court. BLAKE???? Seriously?
MY bay area friend that went to the game with me says all the radio up there is talking about what a sissy Blake is that he didn't fight when pushed.
I think he learned it from Zach
LOL, it sounds like they're talking about Blake and the Clippers more than the sports talk radio down here in SoCal. It's been all Phil Jackson and the Lakers the past few days.
I think Chauncey
The coverage on the Lakers is ridiculous. We beat Golden State, 9 game winning streak, finding our groove, still have great injured players coming back, and getting hot right before the playoffs and the coverage is about Phil going to New York and why he hasn't signed the contract.
I know many do not read newspapers but some of us old farts still do. The LA Times had 3/4 of the front page that day devoted to the Lakers and their barking at each other with big pictures of Jeannie and Little boy Buss, one half a front page single column about us winning our 9th, no picture.
the Long Beach Press Telegarm was full page Lakers and inside was 1/8 of a page about our game,I think we made page 4.
I like 570 radio now as the canned a lot of the local homers and I don't have to listen to the greatness of banner and banners and Kobe Kobe Kobe all effing day. What to me,as a Dodger fan,finds sad is 570 is our flagship station and no one ever covers baseball. Give us 10 minutes anyway. Most of us no longer can get the Dodgers on TV in any form and if the radio blows us off we are out.
What's up with all the warrior players ralking ****...
570 has Off-season Dodger Talk every weekday though. I'm not sure how long the show is, but it is dedicated to the Dodgers.
There is the difference between playing hard and outplaying people to where it frustrates them and instigating. I don't get think of Blake as an instigator, there are a lot of jealous player who said all he could do was dunk and I think they are now pissed he is proving them wrong.
If o'neal did that to lebron or Durant he would have been suspended.
http://m.sfgate.com/sports/jenkins/arti ... 321179.php
I have no words...I really really don't like the warriors. The journalists up there are morons writing this story.
There is an old guy named Jermaine
To him I will make it quite plain
Your game's in the past
and you're quite an ass
Blake's shadow is where you'll remain
Burma Shave
looks like Blake talked about his mama lol. Though I really do wonder what he said. Reminds me of that KG Melo incident.
lol BRILLIANT! Well done.
IMHO the problem with the NBA today and I guess many fans. NO longer is having skill and ability far beyond that of a mortal man make a player or a team great,if that player or that team doesn't have a least one punch out fight per game you are a soft, sissy team. When did ability become 2nd to fighting?
SMH at that mentality.
Didn't Carmelo get suspended for approaching KG in the tunnel after the game a while back?
KG said Carmelo's wife tasted like honey. Melo should have been given permission to deck him on the spot. KG once trash talked a guy who survived cancer "You're a cancer survivor" just to get under his skin. I think it was Villanueva. KG should have been punched out.
Haha Villanueva didn't survive cancer, he has alopecia, which means he can't grow hair, and KG made the cancer joke as if he was in chemotherapy.
Rumor was, "Honey Nut Cheerios."
True... but KG is capable of much worse. He told Duncan "Happy Mothers' Day" once after Duncan's mother died.
KG also said happy mother's day mother****** to Duncan. Duncan just ignored him and dominated his ass.
Knowing Duncan's mom just passed
His mom passed away when he was a kid. Still messed up though.
Not that I'm defending KG at all, but people seem to be making the stories into way bigger deals than they originally are.
Do you think Blake is like KG? I see Blake doing things within the game To annoy, and maybe talking trash. I can even see him doing some sneaky yet dirty tricks here and there (at least that's what it looked like with Faried in my opinion), but talking some $h!t that is way out of line like KG I don't see it.
I want him to be like Duncan. Just dominate. KG's trash talking hasn't gotten him anywhere.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
People from around Southwest Colorado, the Front Range and even other countries continue their concern and volunteer efforts to find missing 13-year-old Dylan Redwine. The teen vanished from his father�s Vallecito home Nov. 19.
A prayer vigil is planned for 6 to 7 p.m. today at Dylan�s new school, Lewis-Palmer Middle School in Woodmoor, near Colorado Springs. The vigil will take place at the corner of Front and Second Streets in nearby Monument, about 21 miles north of Colorado Springs on Interstate 25.
Just like his friends near Colorado Springs, the communities in Southwest Colorado are keeping the faith.
�I�m not going to give up hope until we have Dylan,� family friend and volunteer search organizer Denise Hess said Saturday.
Hess has turned her video and women�s clothing store in a Bayfield strip mall into volunteer headquarters. Saturday, volunteers were making ribbons that sell for $5 to help fund the search efforts and support Dylan�s family while they wait for news.
�I can�t even thank the people enough,� Hess said.
Since late Nov. 19, community members have been helping search for the teen, feed and house his family and spread the word about Dylan�s disappearance.
Dylan vanished the morning of Nov. 19 during a court-ordered visit with his father, Mark Redwine. The boy�s mother, Elaine Redwine, and older brother, Corey, moved to Colorado Springs from Bayfield about four months ago. Mark and Elaine Redwine were divorced in 2007.
�The community calls me and wants to help,� Hess said while a team of volunteers made more ribbons in the back room of her store.
�They have a connection� to the Redwines, whether through Dylan, his parents or just as members of the community, she said. Hess said she began her own connection in 2006 or 2007.
While law enforcement and search-and-rescue teams did their work, community volunteers walked house-to-house in both Vallecito and Bayfield with posters of Dylan and combed ditches, trails and buildings.
Hess said that Elaine Redwine is having a difficult time.
�Every day that goes by it�s harder� for her, Hess said. �I can�t even imagine where Elaine�s at right now.�
Hess said that by Friday evening, volunteers had produced 500 ribbons.
The blue ribbons read: �Help us bring Dylan Redwine Home!! Missing from Vallecito, CO 11-19-12.�
Community members Saturday already were buying some of the ribbons even as more were being made. The money made from these ribbons goes into an account at Wells Fargo.
Hess reiterated that �Dylan wouldn�t run away.�
She said Dylan would never put his mother through that pain. If he was having a bad time at the lake, he would call or text his mother, as he did once before disappearing, she said.
Hess said Dylan and Elaine are close. He even called his mother �Mutti,� a familiar variant of the more formal German word for mother, �Mutter,� Hess said. It is like calling one�s mother mommy or mummy, according to Collins Collaborative Dictionary. Dylan�s grandmother is German.
Dylan�s disappearance has been tough on everyone, Hess said.
�It�s been an emotional roller coaster,� she said.
Hess said this type of thing doesn�t happen in a community like Bayfield-Vallecito.
Just as importantly, it is the off-season at Vallecito, so most people around there now are residents or local visitors.
�It�s always been a very close-knit community,� Hess said. �I think this even will reinforce that.
�I know the community is scared right now,� she said, noting that parents are walking their children to school and staying with them at bus stops until the buses pick up the kids.
Even as volunteers continued their efforts, so, too, did the authorities. They are following various tips and leads, said Lt. Ray Shupe with the Durango Police Department.
Shupe, acting spokesman for the Dylan Redwine Task Force investigating Dylan�s vanishing, said there was no significant news to report Saturday.
Law enforcement is asking that anyone who may have photographs or video of Vallecito Reservoir or Bayfield around the time of Dylan�s disappearance contact them.
They are looking for video or photos that show vehicles along the typical routes between Vallecito and Durango from 6 p.m. Nov. 18 to noon Nov. 19.
The county dispatch center may be contacted at 385-2900.
The footage already received is being analyzed for clues.
In addition, people with possible information may call a telephone tip line at 382-7511. Calls also can be made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678.
The task force includes members of the La Plata County Sheriff�s Office, FBI, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Durango Police Department and Bayfield Marshal�s Office.
The case is receiving both national and international attention, including a time on the Nancy Grace show on the Headline News network, among others.

The day was mildly warm as people watched with their families and friends as the 39th annual Edgefield Christmas Parade marched down Main Street on Sunday at 4 p.m.
For Shenna Williams it was a family event, out and in the parade.
"We love it," she said, as her cousin Courtney Williams and daughter Ashley Williams sat on the curb next to her. "It's good for the community to get together."
Shenna Williams' son appeared in the parade with the Merriwether Middle School from North Augusta, where he is part of football and basketball teams.
Aiken Electric Co-Op, Edgefield Mayor W. Ken Durham, Edgefield District Masonic and Lillie Jackson, 2012's Miss Peach Blossom, showed in the parade.
Augusta's T.W. Josey High School, U.S. Army Signal Corps and Johnston's Strom Thurmond High School were some of the bands to play in the parade.
Various people threw candy out from their floats, which the children eagerly grabbed and collected.
Young Ashley William's jacket's hood was full of her candy before her mother placed it in a bag for her.
Ashley said her favorite kind of candy is bubble gum.
According to the Edgefield Daily, pictures with Santa were available afterward. In addition to the City, Pendarvis Chevrolet, SRP Credit Union, Jim Satcher Motors, Herlong Ford/Chevrolet, Edgefield American Legion, Edgefield Mini Storage and Trenton Self Storage sponsored the parade.
Staff Photo by Stephanie Turner Ryan Clark offers candy he just grabbed, as his mother Holly Clark watches the Edgefield Christmas Parade on Sunday. Pictured behind is Ryans father, Geno Clark, taking a picture of the parade.×

The approval Friday of legislation to allow undocumented students in Colorado to pay in-state tuition at colleges and universities signals a new dawn for thousands of young people in the state.
All that Colorado ASSET (Advancing Students for a Stronger Economy Tomorrow) lacks to become law is the signature of Gov. John Hickenlooper, who supports the bill.
Gerardo Xahuentitla, who was battered so badly by out-of-state tuition that he dropped out of Fort Lewis College after accumulating 2� years of credits, was all smiles Friday.
�I plan to go back to college,� said Xahuentitla, 25, who was born in Tlaxcala state in Mexico. When he arrived in the United States with his parents in 2002, he was enrolled at Durango High School in a class for youngsters with limited English.
He applied himself � he was particularly good at math � and graduated in 2005.
The difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition is not a matter of pennies. At FLC, non-Colorado residents pay $16,072 a year, while residents pay $5,232. Native Americans have their tuition waived.
Colorado ASSET is one of three efforts to help resolve the fate of students brought to the United States as minors by their parents. The other plans are the DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act, aimed at giving undocumented students who meet certain criteria a chance to earn legal status, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which protects eligible students against deportation for two years while they register with the Social Security Administration and find work.
In addition to those measures are the ongoing talks by the �Gang of 8� senators, including Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., who are trying to find consensus on overall immigration reform. Bennet is a cosponsor of the DREAM Act.
�It�s the most productive set of conversations I�ve had since I�ve been here (in the Senate),� Bennet said Thursday in a telephone interview, speaking of the work of the gang�s four Democrats and four Republicans. �I have to give credit to senators (Marco) Rubio and (John) McCain for moving the matter along.�
Bennet thinks legislation could be introduced to the Senate Judiciary Committee by early spring.
The package of programs could lead to the most significant immigration reform in a generation, since the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Act that, among other things, legalized the residency of about 3 million people.
�I can�t go back to Mexico,� said Durango resident Fernando Mendoza, 23, who arrived in the country at age 6 with his mother from Guadalajara. �There�s nothing there for me any more.
�We were pretty poor,� said Mendoza said. �My father drove a taxi and my mother made leather wallets to sell.�
Mendoza could typify the young undocumented residents in La Plata County � or elsewhere. They�re high school- and college-aged. They work, go to school or do both. They network socially. They speak English without an accent.
But they have a secret often shared only within a tight circle � they came to the United States, in most cases, without documentation. As they enter their teen years, life becomes crimped because they can�t legally get a Social Security number to work or get a driver�s license. If they reach adulthood, deportation is the penalty they pay if found out.
Immigrant students should have no concern about prying questions in Durango School District 9-R, said Amy Kendziorski, director of student services. The business of schools is education, she said.
�We don�t care about immigration status at all,� Kendziorski said. �We want all kids to be treated in a fair and in a just way. We want them to be involved in school and maximizing learning. We don�t collect data on immigration status, legal or not.�
Compa�eros/Four Corners Immigrant Resource Center stands ready to help, said director Nicole Mosher.
�We�re the only free option for help in the application process,� Mosher said. �In fact, we get requests for help on non-immigration issues, including discrimination.�
Mendoza, a 2007 graduate of Durango High School, was accepted at FLC, but, overwhelmed by the cost, he didn�t enroll. He has drifted since, biding his time as a volunteer at nonprofits.
�I�d like to get a degree in sociology, maybe with a minor in business,� Mendoza said. �Ultimately, I�d like to have my own nonprofit that would focus on immigrant and GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered) rights.�
He�s a candidate for deferred action.
�Deferred action is only limited protection against deportation,� said Beth Padilla, an immigration attorney in Durango. �It�s not law, and it�s not a barrier against deportation if they break the law. Deferred action could be revoked and the person deported.�
Even if DACA applicants qualify in every other respect, the arrival date to qualify � on or before June 15, 2007 � is unbending. No exceptions.
The inflexibility can be heartbreaking, said B. Kent Felty, an immigration lawyer in Littleton.
�There�s a young man in Durango who could be the poster child for this program,� Felty said. �He�s a fine person, a Durango High School graduate with good grades and a hard worker with a clean record.�
The hitch is that he arrived in the country five weeks after the Obama deadline, Felty said. The proof is the tourist visa he was issued.
�There�s absolutely nothing I can do for him,� Felty said. �If he married an American citizen, he wouldn�t have to leave the country to get residency � as a person who arrives illegally does.�
The young man, who turned 19 on Friday, appears to take the situation with equanimity.
�My life is here, and I�d like to go to college,� he said. �But if I have to go, there�s nothing I can do.�
Under DREAM Act guidelines, which require arrival in the U.S. at age 15 or younger, he could qualify for residency.
A Friday story in California�s Oakland Tribune newspaper said that more than 20,000 potential college students are seeking financial aid for the first time under the state�s Dream Act laws. The state will need $65 million a year by 2016-17 to provide benefits for Dream Act and DACA students, the story said.
Alex Rodriguez, 18, is set. Scheduled to graduate from DHS in May, he has received DACA status. He arrived in the U.S. at age 6, then alternated one-year stays in Leadville and Frisco with returns to Mexico before the family settled in Durango, where he began fifth grade.
�I definitely plan to go to college,� Rodriguez said. �I�m interested in architecture, diesel mechanics and business administration.�
Xahuentitla, a 2005 graduate of DHS, said he was slowed by the language barrier at first, but now speaks fluently.
He provides free help with income tax at the Compa�eros office in Durango.
He has applied for DACA.
�I�m not sure what I�d like to do,� he said. �Teaching is one obvious career.�
Xahuentitla said some undocumented residents hesitate to talk about their migratory status.
�There�s always a little fear, but it�s not real serious,� he said. �I had a pretty good experience.�

Since energy drinks first hit the market, they have been marketed as an ideal beverage – so many tasty flavors while instantly stimulating you.
But as long as there have been people thirsting for them, there have been people poking and prodding these drinks, questioning their value and safety.
Dr. Richard Schwartz, chairman of Emergency Medicine at Georgia Health Sciences Health System in Augusta, remembered back in the early '90s a patient being admitted after consuming an energy supplement. The patient's heart rate was close to 200.
"It's very common to see," he said about these types of cases.
In 2011, about 20,000 people in the U.S. were admitted to emergency rooms because of energy drink consumption. Four years earlier, about 10,000 were admitted.
Eighteen people were reported dead last fall with energy drinks being looked at for the blame, according to The Associated Press.
Schwartz, however, has not seen a noticeable increase in local cases.
It's been a bit more lately but not a significant uptick, he said.
Most of the reported cases involve adolescents and young adults, according to a recent Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration survey. But the words of caution don't seem to be stopping this group from downing the drinks, at least not on USC Aiken's campus.
"(Students) still buy them," Bobbie Seabolt, Pacer Market clerk, said. In fact, she pointed out stock was low that day last week.
Red Bulls are a favorite, with some students buying them by the case. The store had to discontinue selling them, though, due to delivery conflicts.
Now, Monsters seem to be the hot-selling item.
"It's good as a pick-me-up, but not an everyday thing," said sophomore Mariah Harris, who will take in the beverages maybe once every four months.
Harris prefers the original Monsters that are marked with the green "M" on the can.
Even though Harris doesn't really know many energy drink "addicts," or people who can't seem to stop drinking them, Seabolt has a steady stream of customers purchasing the drinks every day.
The beverages are also available at Pacer Market and the Bookstore.
Energy drinks can cause insomnia, nervousness, headaches, accelerated heartbeat and seizures, according to the SAMHSA. People who just occasionally report having irregular heartbeats, anxiety and heart attacks, according to AP.
However, "marketing (for the drinks) suggests benefits such as increased energy and stamina, weight loss and enhanced physical and mental performance," according to SAMHSA.
These drinks, while consumed by a wide variety of people, are often targeted toward younger buyers.
Some see this as the problem.
"Their bodies aren't conditioned to handle them," Lori Comshaw, local personal trainer, said. "And it's too much caffeine at once."
Due to their makeup, some energy drinks can have as much caffeine as four cans of soda, said Cynthia Catts, a local nutrition therapist.
And, according to SAMHSA, the immense caffeine levels in the drinks are the main factor for this rising health problem.
Too much caffeine can lead to "fibroid cysts in breast, nervousness, anxiety, elevated blood pressure and muscle twitches," Catts said.
Inquiries have been made as to what exactly is in the energy-boosting beverages.
Some energy drinks to note are the Java Monsters. The line combines coffee with the energy drink and contains at least six flavors. Monster also has products with tea ingredients. For more information, visit www.monsterenergy.com.
A couple weeks ago, Democratic lawmakers sent out letters to request the drinks' ingredient information; the Food and Drug Administration has been looking into the matter for several months. Some things lawmakers inquired about were the drinks' caffeine content and the studies the corporations conducted on teens and young adults, according to The New York Times.
"The benefits of many of the additives in energy drinks and energy shots remain to be determined and certainly can be harmful if ingested in large quantities," Catts said.
The drinks often have high glycemic and other stimulants levels, she said. Also, they sometimes contain guarana, a small red fruit that contains a lot of caffeine, and ribose, a sugar in the body that transports energy to cells that is replicated for the drinks.
"I always caution my diabetics and my patients with pre-existing cardiovascular, metabolic, liver, kidney or neurologic diseases to avoid energy drinks or energy shots, because of (some of their ingredients)," Catts said. "Ribose supplements haven't been extensively studied. I caution my clients from using supplements that don't have much or any science backing."
About half of the 2011 energy drink-related hospital visits involved patients mixed the beverages with other drugs like Adderall, alcohol or marijuana, according to SAMHSA.
The association believes the drink's high caffeine levels tricks the drinkers, primarily hiding the "lethargic" feeling of being intoxicated.
Phusion Projects use to cater to these people.
Until November 2010, its Four Loko line contained, in addition to alcohol, caffeine, guarana and taurine, an amino acid that helps regulate water and mineral salt levels in the blood. The fruity-flavored drinks were a hit, especially among college students. However, when some of those students ended up going to the ER, the drink was investigated and banned.
To comply with demands, Projects agreed to remove the caffeine, guarana and taurine ingredients, according to the product's website.
Now, the alcoholic drink is sold in 48 states, meeting all federal and state government requirements.
Energy drinks have even infiltrated gyms, as it is not uncommon to see people working out and then reaching for the drinks.
"If it takes an energy drink to get through a workout, then it's not a good workout," Comshaw said.
And you better not dare take one in her classes or her Boot Camps.
"I have been known to grab Cokes and throw them in the trash," she said. "I don't even let (my clients) drink Gatorade. It disturbs the electrolyte, unless you sweat for more than two hours. Powerade is worse because it contains high fructose corn syrup."
She recommends drinking Gatorade only if you have worked out for more than two hours. She personally won't touch it, until after she's ran 10 miles.
"There's nothing wrong with a cup of coffee in the morning," she said. "But if you can't sustain yourself throughout the day, your lifestyle needs to be addressed."
To get natural energy, Comshaw suggests getting adequate sleep.
For her, water is the best drink to have.
If water isn't your forte, Catts suggests vegetable juices and herbal, green and white teas as some alternatives.
Food is a vital contributor as well. Squeeze some food high in complex carbohydrates into a well-balanced diet of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains.
Someone with an energy drink problem can feel his heart rate skip, develop a headache or feel agitated. Sometimes, the person doesn't even know he has a problem.
"It's the people around them that see it and bring them in," Schwartz said.
When patients come in, doctors commonly give them sedatives to decrease their blood pressure or heart rates.
Schwartz advises to either drink the drinks in moderation or just avoid them all together.

I did say last week that I didn't have any more postcards of West Dean (near Chichester), Sussex, well it was true at the time but I acquired three more at the weekend, so here goes with another one.
This is a wonderful view of School Lane, West Dean but I have to be honest and say I am not certain where exactly School Lane is. I think it is the road that runs down past the burial ground, which would be up the top of the road in the picture on the left-hand side. I think I have located the cottages on an old map, but it looks like they are no longer there now so I probably won't be able to verify if I have the right place. Nevertheless I will check next time I pay a visit, just in case some element of the scene remains, perhaps the railings on the right-hand side of the road.
The card itself is a little battered around the edges, but then it is over 100 years old, being posted on the 1st August 1907 at Chichester. There are no clues as to the publisher or photographer of the card. As you can see below there is quite an intriguing message on the back.
I wonder what was in the parcel and why it was so urgent? Was the sender at the races at nearby Goodwood (there was racing that week at Goodwood) and then off to Cowes on the Isle of Wight for a spot of yachting? In the 1911 census we find Ernest Albert and Ada Harriet Smoker living at 34 Birkhall Road, Catford, London, so it looks like Ernest was writing home to his wife for something, but what? I guess we shall probably never know.

Votto's knee making progress
I will have much more in a story for MLB.com/Reds.com, but a bearded 1B Joey Votto was talking about his improving left knee during his appearance at Redsfest.
Votto says the twice surgically repaired knee isn't 100 percent and he isn't doing baseball activity yet, but he was quite pleased with his progress.
"When I first got injured, I didn't anticipate it taking this long," Votto said. "But I feel like I've made tremendous improvement over the last month. I struggled before, initially after the surgery, to crouch down even. I had too much swelling, not enough mobility in the joint, too much pain. Now I'm to the point where I can sit on the back of my heels, do a full squat. I can do all kinds of crouching. My strength is not at 100 percent yet, but it's getting there. I can run at full speed, do jumping and do a lot of strength work. As far as improving, it's been a great deal."
Canada won't like this but Votto hasn't yet committed to representing his country in this spring's World Baseball Classic.
"I'm not going to play in the WBC if I'm not 100 percent," Votto said. "My priority to be at 100 percent for the Cincinnati Reds and hopefully at last we can win a World Series."
3 Comments
Most people probably did not understand what Joey was going through upon his return, manifested in his lack of power, RBI's, etc. It was nice to hear a more graphic explanation of his condition then and now. Tx Mark!
Don't worry about the WBC, Joey! I'm from Canada and I agree, getting 100% healthy for next season with the Reds is far more important than some tournament.
