Before we say goodbye, we thought we'd bring you our collective favorite albums of 2011.
Ash Borer: Ash Borer [Pesanta Urfolk]
MP3: Ash Borer: "Rest, You Are The Lightning"
Chillwave. It's been shoved down our throats over the past couple of years due to its ease of creation and distribution (thank you Ableton Live soft synths and plug-ins; thank you Soundcloud and the blogs that embed you!!), and a lot of it fucking sucks. This year saw some lazy remixes and underwhelming sophomore releases from the first batch of the genre's icons, and the honeymoon phase ended. Disappointment sets in as the blogosphere continues to herald "the next big thing" and humors publicists' requests for coverage-- maybe for the sake of traffic, maybe for the lack of a better voice. You feel a craving for something visceral. Something different.
Ash Borer enters the scene with an undeniably strong album that doesn't asked to be loved, appreciated, or even known at a time where being an artist seems to require having at least three social media outlets. The sheer weight of this headbanging LP is staggering, and its tension-building ambient moments are just as captivating as the chaotic ones. You don't have to be a diehard black metal fan to feel the impact of their bludgeoning drums, soaring guitars, and anguished screams; Ash Borer's raw power translates to any audience. Epic. --Ric Leichtung
Blues Control & Laraaji: FRKWYS Vol. 8 [RVNG Intl.]
MP3: Blues Control & Laraaji: "Awakening Day"
There've been a bunch of all-star collaborations this year-- Kanye and Jay-Z, James Blake and Bon Iver, Flaming Lips and Lightning Bolt-- that've doubled as a stroke of marketing genius and a fan's wet dream come true. There have also been a few lesser known meetings-of-the-mind orchestrated by RVNG Intl.-- Julianna Barwick and DNA founder Ikue Mori, Emeralds and soundtrack man Alan Howarth, the staggering five-way between Borden, Ferraro, Godin, Halo, and Lopatin-- that've been truly stunning. But the synergy between Blues Control and new age zitherist Laraaji trumps them all. Laraaji's been playing music for more than 30 years and is a seasoned improviser, taking on the role of the trio's leader and lifting the noise duo's psychedelic scuzz to celestial heights. Few collaborations have tapped into something as special as this one. --Ric Leichtung
The Caretaker: An Empty Bliss Beyond This World [Self-Released]
MP3: The Caretaker: "Tiny Gradiations of Loss"
It was a busy year for Leyland Kirby and his peripatetic musical endeavors. Under his given name, Kirby released the beautifully meditative Eager to Tear Apart The Stars before delving into three volumes of electronic manipulations in the Intrigue & Stuff series. His release as The Caretaker, An Empty Bliss Beyond This World, landed the softest but burnt the brightest. Using a collection of run-down ballroom jazz 78s as his basic source material, Kirby continued his thematic study into the mind's inevitable fissures, the disconnects that frustrate the desire to cling to a perfect, complete memory.
Kirby's masterful manipulation and distortion of the 78s was so effective that they no longer seemed to belong to the past, or to the present.. An Empty Bliss resides in a kind of temporal limbo, reminding us that the opaque memories of a life -- what is salvaged and what is lost -- follow a most mysterious, inaccessible logic. It was a moment of exquisite calm, humility, and fragility amid the mad dash to omnipotence that is information super highway; it told us that no matter how imperfect, what we are left with is all that we have, and must be cherished. --Daniel Gottlieb
Death Grips: Exmilitary [Self-Released]
Death Grips are a mess, an anomaly that coheres through a set of intertwining delusional threads, mostly relating to personal obsessions and their limits. As much the phrase "practice makes perfect" proves true for beatsmith Zach Hill, MC Ride does the same in his mantras, using repetition as a coping mechanism for his abyss. There's a reason a Charles Manson sample opens this album: he's taken delusion into another universe. Ride really believes he's the king. Tell yourself anything enough times and you're Ringo Starr, guy.
Future Shuttle: Water's Edge [Intercoastal Artists / Holy Mountain]
MP3: Future Shuttle: "Fog Spelunk"
When Future Shuttle released their debut EP Water's Edge in late August, they established themselves as an outfit that makes nu age music for body and spirit alike. Their blend of synth, flute, samplers, and beats elegantly intertwines the cosmic and the earthly. Through sounds that evoke flowing streams, bird and dolphin calls, and the vibrations of ancient rock formations, Jessa Farkas' voice resonates with striking humanity. It is as commanding as it is sorrowful, bringing to mind both the mortal condition and our desire and power to transcend it. In "Rain Source," Farkas repeats the mantra, "I became everything that I've ever encountered," as the relationship between humans and each element of their environment is emphasized. Similarly, as "spacey" as Future Shuttle's music is, every component is crystal-clear, a voice within its vast landscape. --Samantha Cornwell
Holy Other: With U [Tri-Angle]
Due to the ghostly vibes and his Tri Angle roster spot, Holy Other's work is mistakenly cast as something gothic, dark, or due to be canonized in wing-ding letters in some infinitely vacuous witch house manifesto. In reality, this past year found the veiled Manchester producer offering something far different from those suspected shock and horror tropes: the romantic hybrid house of With U. Holy Other's deep, disembodied vocals echo like distant memories as screwed orchestral swells and choral bass moans swallow them up. The atmosphere of yearning is palpable, whether for past love or new direction; the subdued lust of a simultaneously ravenous but tender one night stand looms over the hungry pleas of With U, especially in the meter- and momentum-shifting standout, "Touch." Holy Other's debut is a triumphant melding of R&B's emotion, bass culture's sensuality, and house's heartbeat, and the result is one of the year's most intimate albums. --Matt Sullivan
Iceage: New Brigade [Escho]
It's been a hell of a year for Iceage. Their first full-length dropped in their native country of Denmark in January. By June, they had gotten What's Your Rupture on board for a US release, toured with Fucked up, captured the attention of an Odd Future-obsess press (remember them?), and basically taken the underground music world by storm-- all pretty much by accident. They put out one of the most talked-about records of this year, and although their high school status, their notoriously bloody shows, and the controversy surrounding the Nazi doodles surely played their parts, the album had the kind of energy that hadn't been heard in years. Iceage is the type of band that sparks obsession. They put their hometown of Copenhagen on the music map by coining a movement and rekindled faith in a genre that had been stagnating for a few years. Mostly, they brought punk back into our minds, at least for a little while. --Ric Leichtung
John Maus: We Must Become The Pitiless Censors of Ourselves [Ribbon]
If 2010 was the year when the music elite deemed Ariel Pink worthy of their ever-loving embrace, then 2011 was the year when they extended a tender hand to his CalArts classmate and lo-fi co-"discoverer" John Maus. However, as a series of revealing interviews following the release of his remarkable We Must Become The Pitiless Censors of Ourselves made clear, Maus' relationship with industry success was a complex and acrimonious one. Pitiless Censors was brimming with concepts and conjectures about modern political inertia, the sclerosis of advanced global capitalism, and the challenges they pose to the individual subject.
The album balanced and combined these influences accordingly: it's cerebral and conceptually driven, but also a revealing portrait of John's personal and artistic struggle to break through these restrictive forces. Pitiless Censors thus gave us an image of Maus inhabiting a role not dissimilar to the lighthouse that appears on his album art: luminary but mysterious, vulnerable yet resolute, anxious to illuminate a place that lies just outside what it can reach. "This is where a human being finds himself"-- using the musical tools of the past, feeling ambivalent about the present, and longing for the possibilities of the future. In 2011, we welcomed back John Maus, the Believer. --Daniel Gottlieb
Julia Holter: Tragedy [Leaving]
MP3: Julia Holter: "Goddess Eyes"
Equal parts electronic pop and minimalist chamber music, Julia Holter's Hippolytus-inspired debut puts both conservatory kids and bedroom producers to shame. Not too many artists manage to square the large and sprawling with the focused and minutely detailed, but this Los Angeles composer will channel just as much rigor into an extended drone as she will a loaded pause. Rather than belabor the plot details of Euripedes' tormented love story, she abstracts it into a feeling of hovering doom.
The atmosphere is thick on Tragedy. Husky strings, white noise, harpsichords, fog horns, and crackling opera LPs cohere with mounting pressure, only to plateau until we forget that they are supposed to set the scene for a narrative event: a bit of dialogue or monologue set to words, such as in "The Falling Age" and "Celebration," where her voice evokes Enya auditioning for a Madrigal choir, or single "Goddess Eyes," where it's clipped, vocoded, and maybe a little cold. Tragedy is the kind of record that makes you feel as though you've traveled far by the end-- through time, though space, though multiple musical languages and sounds that you never thought of as musical to begin with. Still, from start to curtain call, you can feel the clock ticking at every moment. --Emilie Friedlander
Julian Lynch: Terra [Underwater Peoples]
As life on Earth tends to move in circles, so has much of the music of 2011. Where many of this year's releases are grounded in computer-driven loops and synth-based repetition, Julian Lynch's Terra cycles through nylon, four-stringed guitar, meditative jazz clarinet, and hushed, tabla percussion. The Madison, Wisconsin-based ethnomusicologist refines the wide panorama of influences that was already present on his past releases, reaching into the past with smokey, prohibition-era falsetto croons and '50s music box piano symphonies while keeping it "modern" with his proggy guitar-synth. His third studio effort sounds more refined, more concise, and more three-dimensional than anything we've heard from him before. In another instance of coming full circle, Terra marks his return to Underwater Peoples, the home of his first non-CDr release, a split 7" with childhood friend Ducktails.. --Mary Katherine Youngblood
Jürgen Müller: Science of the Sea [Foxy Digitalis]
MP3: Jürgen Müller: "Sea Green"
In 1979, German oceanographer Jürgen Müller built a music studio on his houseboat off the North Sea and slowly recorded an album inspired by the natural wonders that surrounded him. There were about 100 copies made, most of which were given away to his peers in the oceanic field; by some bizarre stroke of chance, one of them ended up in the hands of Brad Rose at Foxy Digitalis, who reportedly restored the album. The story is a library music collector's dream, and is unbelievable from the get-go, but Science's sophisticated palette is probably the most conclusive piece of evidence we have that Jürgen Müller and his project are the stuff of myth. Most exotica albums coming from "Jurgen's" time were awfully shallow listens, the cute wordplay and kitsch concepts constituting the core of their appeal. Science draws from the shimmering textures of the late, great Mort Garson and evokes the minimalist side of Raymond Scott. It's too damn good to be true. Its story is an integral part of the album, but its validity as a work of art doesn't hinge on fact-- it's in the beauty of the music, and the ideas lurking in its great depths that make this album more than a myth. --Ric Leichtung
Laurel Halo: Hour Logic [Hippos In Tanks]
MP3: Laurel Halo: "Aquifer"
One night at CMJ this year, I pushed forward to the front row of 285 Kent's attendees to catch Laurel Halo. As I walked away from the stage, the buzz in my headspace was killed with another concert-goer's groan-inducing synopsis: "Wow, she really killed it… for a girl." The blatant sexism of the analysis was a little stunning, but it seemed to fit in oddly well with a long line of bizarre preconceptions about this year's divisive ode to time-leaping-- and her best work yet-- Hour Logic. Halo's EP is the soundtrack to an imaginary silent sci-fi film where a cultural shift in information retrieval and consumption leaves significant effects on our brains' memory capacity and habits. It's a contemporary thesis on the possible aftermath of inhabiting a world like Far Side Virtual's for too long, drawn from futuristic bouts with electronic classics. Ultimately, that cerebral take is best left for the forum; Hour Logic's constant forward momentum is designed to be felt. The finer details of the painstakingly orchestrated domes and arcs of this symphony can be almost overwhelming, but the Detroit EMF veteran hasn't taken a left turn-- she's reached further for the future. --Matt Sullivan
Liturgy: Aesthethica [Thrill Jockey]
There's no doubt that Brooklyn black metal outfit Liturgy pissed a lot of purists off this year when Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, their philosophizing Columbia grad of a frontman, published his infamous "Transcendental Black Metal" essay on the Internet. It renamed the "blast beat" the "burst beat," boasted several black-and-white diagrams, and combined a band manifesto of sorts with a vision of the genre moving toward its ideal culmination in "the self-overcoming of Hyperborean black metal." (The implication being, of course, that Liturgy would be the band doing all the overcoming). At the end of the day, Altered Zones can only admire Hunt-Hendrix's willingness to think deeply about what his own aesthetic choices mean, and will remember 2011 partly as the year when Aesthetica took the pummeling 16th notes, ecstatic death cries, and shifting guitar tremolos of black metal and showed us non-specialists just how powerful that language can be. It was also the year that the band lost perhaps its strongest music asset in virtuoso drummer and Guardian Alien mastermind Greg Fox; whatever you'd prefer to call his athletic and idiosyncratic pattering, it combined the thrill of total destruction with the joy of being alive. --Emilie Friedlander
Oneohtrix Point Never: Replica [Software]
MP3: Oneohtrix Point Never: "Replica"
For those of you keeping score at home, this is Dan Lopatin's third appearance on an Altered Zones year-end best album list, the first two being for Games' That We Can Play and Oneohtrix Point Never's Returnal last year. November's Replica reconfirmed Lopatin's status as an ingenious samplist whose complex process doesn't prevent him from creating music that's both erudite and somehow nearly as accessible as the TV commercials that provided his source material. The songs shirk narrative and explicit meaning, opting instead for contrapuntal juxtapositions and textured sound collages. Lopatin's magnum opus. --Luke Carrell
Peaking Lights: 936 [Not Not Fun]
MP3: Peaking Lights: "Tiger Eyes (Laid Back)"
Peaking Lights had several key elements of their sound place for their 2009 album, Imaginary Falcons, but the duo's ability to weave noise-pop together with a humid strain of dub lay buried under a heavy dusting of drone and hiss. The project had plenty of promise, but it needed to be coaxed out into the setting sun. 936, this year's subtly addictive gem of an album, has been buffed to a faded neon sheen, run through the heaviest dubplates, and pumped through a V.F.W. hall public address system straight into our hearts. Scotch Taped beats snake through oil-slicked puddles of bass that feel perfectly primed to rumble the speakers of the average '78 Escort. Indra Dunis' honeyed coo seems to languish forever in a pool of hushed purple light while Aaron Coyes' homemade synths billow into every available audible nook left behind. In short, 936 is a sweaty beast of a record. --Andy French
Pete Swanson: Man With Potential [Type]
MP3: Pete Swanson: "Misery Beat"
I was wrong when I said the NYPD should play this on LRAD -- it belongs to Occupy. I mean, can you imagine the first hook, a full four minutes in, dropping as Zuccotti Park or Frank Ogawa Plaza faced eviction? Though Pete Seeger's endorsement was nice, did we expect much energy or inspiration from a 92-year-old, withering "This Little Light"? If the opener of Pete Swanson's Man With Potential, "Misery Beat," was meant for any catharsis at all, there's plenty of miserable subject matter to mine nowadays. Sure, it's named for the singular, but this entire release carries the imminent movement of massive crowds, exemplifying the power and potential of wordlessness. Perhaps the title points more to Swanson's autonomy, as he departed from the much-loved Yellow Swans duo three years ago.
Throughout this edict for Type Records, Swanson ping-pongs pointed loops through fields of scuzz, his deliberate modulation stretching each interval to its limit as agressive, head-bobbing beats sneak in. And while you can almost read the formula adhered to, no two tracks carry identical temperament or momentum. Man With Potential is thoughtful on a long-term scale, speaking to anyone with a pulse and a modicum of collective sense. --Dale W. Eisinger --Dale W. Eisinger
Prince Rama: Trust Now [Paw Tracks]
MP3: Prince Rama: "Rest In Peace"
I think it's no secret that times are pretty tough for everyone nowadays, and Taraka and Nimai Larson of Prince Rama know this as well as anyone. Trust Now is their first album since founding member Michael Collins left the group and it slimmed to a duo. It's an airing of grievances, a mourning period, but also a survivor's statement of perseverance. We find a new Rama, re-energized and dressed for the battle arena. Shadow Temple's sophisticated drumming, swarming synths, and banshee-strength wails are more potent than ever on "Rest In Peace" and "Summer of Love," although the celestial prog of "Incarnation" and "Golden Silence" alludes to an age of enlightening surrender, a place where moments in time seem to lose their linearity. Trust Now is an important message of faith in an era where hope is dwindling and little seems trustworthy. --Matt Sullivan
Pure X: Pleasure [Acéphale]
Calling Pure X's Pleasure a summer album wouldn't be wrong. Lord knows it had a strong run as the soundtrack of choice for a host of sweaty activities over the course of the season, but as the album made so many return trips to headphones, ear canals and turntables, a new character emerged in the textures of those carefully interpreted songs: a tinge of darkness, equally honest and murky, that never really takes shape, but might be a bit sticky. Fellow Austinite Malcolm Elijah's vids for "Surface" and "Easy" and the glamour shot of bondage cuffs on the album art display this theme, but avoid devolving into camp menace. This is holistic music, best enjoyed live and loud-- exactly like it was recorded. --Luke Carrell
Run DMT: Dreams [Culture Dealer]
Mike Collins has been an ambassador to all sounds weird and wonderful for a couple years, making the Run DMT moniker a mascot for the type of abstracted sound collages that have characterized the best of Baltimore's underground. Dreams is a series of fleeting, intergalactic visits that channel the spaced-out pondering of Bong Voyage, the classic '60s pop bounce of his Spruce Bringsteen split 7", and the spiritual awakenings of a deemster-fueled blast-off. Considering that it was recorded a few years ago, there's something of an old (but not that old) school charm to Dreams, recalling the excitement of exploring the vast unknown of the late aughts' blogosphere --the scene that Collins cut his teeth on-- for the very first time again. I am reminded of a time when I first heard Run, discovered Altered Zones, and ran away to Brooklyn to fashion dreams into reality. Needless to say, it's inspiring to hear Collins do the same with this labor of love, which almost didn't see the light of day. --Matt Sullivan
Tim Hecker: Ravedeath, 1972 [Kranky]
MP3: Tim Hecker: "Hatred of Music I"
From Tim Hecker's interest in the sonic refuse of the digital age emerged one of the most enduring albums of 2011. "I became obsessed with digital garbage, like when the Kazakstan government cracks down on piracy and there's pictures of 10 million DVDs and CDRs being pushed by bulldozers." From the portmanteau of the record to the image of the piano drop to track names like "Studio Suicide" and "Analog Paralysis, 1978," Ravedeath, 1972 was consumed with the timelessness and transience of sound. Its twelve elegiac pieces shifted from moments of action to periods of stasis. Passages of ambient purity tussled with lurching movements of hazy noise; synthesisers from the studio dialogue with organ sub-bass recorded in an Icelandic church. It was a journey that slowed down time to the point of stopping it altogether. --Daniel Gottlieb

Please call 415-398-0555 or 805-695-8700 to book your appointment.
We look forward to helping you!
I hope you both have a delightful 4th of July! Due to your excellent care, I am free of the many health problems that are beginning to trouble my peers! I can truly appreciate my independence with excellent health! ~GM
I have been treating with Dr. Ross for over 15 years. His approach is holistic and he is an incredibly knowledgeable, holistic physician with an eclectic approach to healing. I have had numerous severe health challenges in my life, as well as several serious stresses (e.g. severe arthritis while still in my late 30's, and adrenal exhaustion). Dr. Ross has come through for me in a way that no other doctor has — certainly none of the mainstream medical doctors (who still don't even acknowledge the existence of "adrenal exhaustion"!) As an added bonus, Dr. Ross is one of the nicest people I know. He is a good talker, but is also a very good listener, and I am never rushed out the door before getting complete clarification about the problem at hand, and what my treatment options are for getting rid of it. As a side note, I would add that I had moved to Oahu for several years (starting in 2005) but I did not miss at least having a yearly appointment with Dr. Ross! I budgeted for it, and flew back to San Francisco to see him. I can't think of another single doctor that I would go to that much trouble to see! Dr. Ross's wife, Kathleen, is a delightful person, and she is very prompt and professional about handling invoicing/billing for my visits with Dr. Ross.
Dr. Ross is by far one of the best Dr's you will ever be treated by. He has completely upgraded the level of treatment I receive for my thyroid condition. But more than that he truly cares about the complete quality of life that his patients are providing themselves with. he is a wonderful Dr. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. and Kathlene -D.M.
I met Doctor Ross almost five years ago through a family referral. The difference he has made in the quality of my life is as significant as between a person who works out and one who is stagnant; simply put it has been life altering and positive!!! Most of his remedies are homeopathic so that the body can rely on natural healing powers but if need be Doctor Ross also understands the body mechanics with a sixth sense and has had test results come back exactly as he assumed by just a description of the symptoms. Going to him was one of the best choices for my over all health in the last ten years. Thank you Doctor Ross!!!!! ~ DG

There was a reason why I asked about State Liquor Stores were an archaic remnant of the early 20th century. It was due to this bottle of Xanath Vanilla Liqueur pictured to the left.
I'm not too fond of a great many of the schnapps and flavored vodkas that typically litter the shelves of these places. They're either too sweet or they reek of hype . Does the market really support five different versions of cinnamon schnapps?
Because space is limited, when a liquor store maintains space for 50 different types of vodka, it means less space for other products. Because of this, bottles of liquor that are truly unique are often regulated to a "special offer" table, if they're offered at all. Most of my favorite liquors that I've discovered over the past few years have been found in this fashion. I realize that I'm not the typical liquor store patron, but part of me still thinks that there are many liquors out there, both new and old, that are not getting a fair shot in the marketplace.
This Xanath Vanilla Liqueur is a perfect example of this. Both Tara and I were very impressed with the flavor fond within this peculiar-looking bottle. While the flavor of vanilla was omnipresent, it was far more complex than that. It carried very distinct taste of honey underneath the vanilla, and had just a hint of cinnamon beneath that. To Tara's surprise, it's not overly sweet. It's a far more complex flavor than that of those found in the vanilla vodkas out there. It's more viscous than the vodkas out there as well, having a mouthfeel more akin to schnapps.
It works quite was as an digestif, or even as a mixer. We've taken to mixing it with 1 part liqueur to 3-4 parts water, poured over ice and then adding sliced strawberries. It also mixes quite well with cola.
I know that when I go back to the liquor store, the chances are slim for me finding another bottle of this exceptional liqueur. That's a shame. Because there are several gins and vodkas which could easily give up their space for this bottle.

OpenSecrets Blog previously reported that high-ranking members of congress dumped their BP assets in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill last year.

He probably already is the greatest to play. He'd smoke MJ in a one on one game, no way MJ could guard him.
LeBron James says he will be one of the best ever
Miami Heat forward LeBron James said that when he is done playing he will be one of the top players to ever lace up the sneakers.
In an interview set to air Monday on NBATV, James was asked who he thought would be on the NBA's "Mount Rushmore."
"The easy three, that we all talk about in our league, you've got Michael Jordan, you got Larry Bird and you've got Magic Johnson," James said. "And I would say the fourth… wow, this is so tough. The greatest players of all time that I'd like to see on Mount Rushmore? This is not fair … Oscar Robertson. Those are my four."
GOLLIVER: LeBron James reminds fans what dunk contest is missing with post-practice show
James already has won four league MVP awards, is a two-time NBA champion and has two NBA Finals MVP awards in his 10 seasons in the league.
"I'm going to be one of the top four that's ever played this game, for sure," he said. "And if they don't want me to have one of those top four spots, they'd better find another spot on that mountain. Somebody's gotta get bumped, but that's not for me to decide. That's for the architects."
I would agree with posts below about the league being softer these days than in the 80's and 90's. Defense was much more intense in the 80s and 90s, especially with Detroit and Boston. When you went into the lane in those days, you better be ready to earn it, because it could get brutal, especially in Detroit. Jordan earned many of his points the hard way. That sort of play is not allowed in modern times.
With that in mind, I think LeBron would do fine in that era, while Kobe would struggle, because he is soft. I believe Kobe would not want any part of McHale and Parrish or Mahorn, Rodman, Sally and Laimbeer in the lane, while LeBron is physical enough to take them on and frustrate them. In fact, I wonder if LeBron would not have fit into that era even better than the one is in?
One thing is certain about James - - he has the largest hat size or anyone ! !
Fo Sho
Russell, Jabbar, Bryant, and Jordan will remain ahead of James. And there's a good chance James could end up behind Durant.
Bill Russell and his 11 rings says hi. There's Russell and then everyone else.
The real top four is Jordan, Bill Russell, Kareem and Magic.
Only because there's no prime time Kobe, Jordan, Magic and Bird in the weak league to test his real skill like in the olden days.
Anybody can become great if you an exceptional player because there is no real competition. He couldn't do the things he's doing now back in the 80s decade, no way, not even in the Jordan dominated 90s and defininately not in the early 2000s when Kobe and Shaq dominated the game.And hell no, he's no way a better player than Kobe, who slayed giants of the game, and sometimes nearly by himself.
funny how none of the other 3 ever had to say something like this.
The difference: people actually liked and respected those players, Lebron. Oh, and they didn't play in the softest era of basketball ever.
Win another title this year and he may be the GOAT.
@x72 What?? MJ is the greatest scorer and one-on-one player of all time. LeBron has size, but he has no post game. Jordan was a straight killer and there's no way LeBron could keep in front of an explosive Jordan in his prime. Jordans craftiness, explosiveness, and intensity would be too much for LeBron.
MJ was too quick for Lebron and most if all much greater determination and killer instinct. Lebron would have to post MJ up. Off topic: Team wise the Bulls of old would win in 4 staight vs the current Heat team. Rodman could frustrate Lebron, Pippen would shut down Bosch and MJ vs Wade would be no contest. Then Bulls bench was far better than Heats.
@x72 MJ Versus LBJ, BOTH in their PRIME? A tough f***ing battle, but no way MJ gets "smoked". A strong choice of words there...
Why not just pick a top 5, since there are 5 starters. Or how about top 12 since that makes up a team. Here would be my top 12 in no order, with the thought that probably 10+ others could easily fit into the list as noted below the line. Lastly, I don't agree with rings being a judge of how great a player one might be since it is a team sport. Russell 11 rings, but he had a better all around team around him than did Jordan or many others.
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
Kareem-Abdul Jabbar

Bill Russell

are you crazy Kobe base on what? please dont say 5 rings because i will break down each ring for you... just dont want to type it out right now... ... and Durant maybe based on what? a hot month... doing things lebron has been doing all his career...
All arpound talent... the only ones ahead of lebron right now is Magic and Oscar Robertson...so when it said and done lebron could be the greatest, and we already decided its not the number of rings or else russell would be number1
Please ...
@JT 11 rings in 13 seasons!! And then there's the two, straight, NCAA rings that he collected along the way making a total of 13 in 15 years. I guess he hated to lose eh?
@Donnell Kobe only won titles when he had either Shaq or Gasol next to him. The rest of the time, he cried to ownership and asked for a trade. Kobe didn't have to go against those great players from the 80's either. He played against Duncan, Kidd, Iverson and Pierce to win his titles. Great players in their time but not on the Jordan/Bird/Magic level either.
@Donnell As an old timer I would like to believe that all my hero's growing up would wipe out all these new guys who are so mouthy. but then I wake up to a dose of reality.. I know that today's players are better conditioned, better trained, better coached, then my old hero's. Anyone saying that Michael Jordan would be as dominant in today's NBA is delusional.. times have changed and the game has changed.
@JohnCampbell They didn't have the internet then and twitter and all the media attention that players have these days. Much different era then.
@FOOLKILLER that statement explains the first part of your screen name
@friendly--neighborhood--scrawler @Marchoir
based on kobe's skills. before his carrer is done kobe will become the greatest back court scorer to ever play the game. he will be soon the only player with 30000+ points, 6000+ rebounds and 6000+ assists.
@salvaje50 @DonnellAnd LeBron only won titles with Wade and Bosh. What's your point? Name one great player who did it without a solid supporting cast.
@JohnCampbell Good comeback, that made me smile

The future viability of UK farming relies on an informed, engaged and committed public. Strong public support leads to market demand, fairer prices and favourable government policy. Soil Association is raising public awareness about the benefits of organic - from educational campaigns to our Open Farms Network.
This pack is designed to enable farmers and community members to present a short, age-appropriate talk to primary aged children (5-11). It includes a set of colour photographs to help bring organic farming to life in a classroom context.
The pack is available below as a main talk and a set of supporting photographs.
A guide to hosting farm visits, open days and talks. This publication, in English and Welsh, is designed to help farmers who want to encourage people to visit their farm and see for themselves what is involved in organic farming.
The information was written with the help of farmers already welcoming visitors on to their farm. We hope it will support and encourage others to follow their lead.
The Organic Farm Trail Activity Book can be downloaded to provide some fun activities for young children on a farm visit. Find out how to make a 'map stick', a soil paint chart, a leaf rubbing and so much more...
Essential advice from the Health and Safety Executive for farmers responsible for open farms is contained within the Industry Code of Practice below. It is essential that you read and take note of the information in these documents if you are organising visits to your farm as by adhering to this advice will mean that you are showing an appropriate duty of care to your visitors. The Code of Practice Summary provides a useful overview of the health and safety issues to consider, whilst the Code of Practice Document provide the complete text.
A risk assessment is an essential requirement for all visits to farms - don't neglect it! A risk assessment is a careful examination of what could cause harm to those entering the farm or using the farm's facilities. Assessing risk is an ongoing process and should be constantly monitored and regularly updated. Here are some basic guidelines, sample risk assessment forms, and blank forms for you to print off and complete:
Millions of people walk footpaths each year, many which cross organic farms. These signs provide simple information about organic farming to walkers who, in the majority of cases, will probably not realise that (a) they are walking across an organic farm, or (b) the many benefits that organic farming can bring to the countryside they are enjoying.
The Soil Association's education department received funding from the Countryside Agency's Rural Recovery Fund to provide free sign packs for organic farmers to educate the public more about organic farming. The signs are small and are designed to fit on key gates, posts or stiles to inform walkers about organic farming. Topics include:

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Jun 21, 2010
Broadband is available to most Americans, but large disparities exist among states and localities, income levels, urban and rural areas and racial and ethnic groups.
Only 65 percent of Americans have broadband at home even though it's available to 95 percent. The estimated 100 million Americans who lack broadband at home say they cannot afford it, they don't know how to use it, believe it is irrelevant to their lives, or can't get it.
A new report from the Pew Center on the States finds that states increasingly see broadband as a powerful vehicle for driving long-term economic growth and delivering services more efficiently and effectively.
Expanding Broadband
A growing number of states are stepping up their efforts to expand high-quality, high-speed broadband for their residents.
Bringing America Up to Speed: States' Role in Expanding Broadband examines the national push to ensure broadband access for all Americans. Driven by tight budgets, states are seeking to use this technology to deliver and improve education, public safety, health care, government services and energy. Just about every policy area that states manage could be affected by expanding broadband availability, adoption and quality.
Download the report. (Adobe PDF)
Several states have been working for years to develop the use of broadband and are well positioned to take advantage of the federal stimulus funds and the new national broadband plan. But the majority of states are trying to catch up. They are being encouraged to do so by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which released its ambitious National Broadband Plan in March 2010. The plan calls for sweeping policy changes; increased funding; action by federal, state, local and tribal governments; and creative partnerships with the private sector.
In addition, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is delivering $7.2 billion in stimulus money to achieve universal broadband and tap its potential applications.
The report also examines the challenging steps states must take to improve broadband access, including:

Comments On Dec 16, 2012:My son is 6" and the pant does not come down to his ankles. The knee is in the right place. The boots are tucked in so it is not a problem but he did not that. The pants are well build. they should last a few seasons of constant beating. Got them on sale- even a better deal.

Comments On Dec 07, 2012:These fit fine around the waist, but they are tight around the knees with a brace on. And they're tight around the lower calves.
The pants are very light and appear to be durable, but they don't work with my build: 185 lbs and 6' tall with heavier bones. I ordered a 36 when I normally wear a 34, but the knees are tighter than with my old ONeal Prodigy pants in size 34. I doubt a size 38 would make much difference.

Icebox Cake | Recipe
Heat Wave Cooking: Icebox Cake
I still manage to learn a little something new each day.Today, it was that the memory card from my camera could be inserted directly into my laptop. Yesterday, it was that a manicure can mean the difference between a finger and no finger when you're chopping a lot of vegetables. And earlier this month, it was the revelation that is a layered icebox cake.
I've never seen a dessert that proffers such a large payout, given the minimal effort. Seriously, spread out cookies like tiles, lay them thick with whipping cream, and repeat until towering. If you're feeling particularly mischievous (and I usually am), shower the top with shavings from your favorite chocolate brand.Exhibit a little self-restraint (the hardest part!), stick your masterpiece in the fridge, and the next morning, you'll open the icebox to find the the most gorgeous layered cloud of a dessert that you've ever seen. You know you want the recipe . . . A bonus dirty little secret: if you're especially lazy, this cake tastes nearly as spectacular when made with Cool Whip instead of heavy cream.
Adapted from The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook

This results in smooth running, responsive acceleration, extraordinary power on demand, and efficient fuel consumption.

Really fun night ouh – Went here with some friends I was visiting, and we had a great time. I love the idea of the lounge, bar, bowling alley hybrid. The drinks were really good, at a totally reasonable price. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!
Great place – This place was sweet. The bar was amazing and giant. Which is awesome compared to other bars at bowling alleys. When I was at the bar, I didn't even feel like I was at a bowling alley. Bowling was fun too. Great atmosphere and all types of people. Will be coming back!
Best way to Bowl! – I never thought I would have this much fun bowling! The atmosphere is awesome- I hardly realized I was in a bowling alley when I first walked in.
The bar is awesome (especially if you're not the best bowler)
A serious good time.
Great Bar and Bartenders – I walked into Lucky Strike Lanes a few nights ago and could help but be a little surprised. The decor was awesome and the atmosphere was upbeat and lively. I was a little unimpressed with the music playing but everything else was incredible. The sports book feel of the bar was too cool! All the sports you could ask for! The bartenders were entertaining to watch and listen to as they worked. The threw things to each other and cracked jokes the entire time. The drinks were stiff, which is good considering what we were paying for them. We checked in to bowl and were told it would be a few minutes before we could, so we paid for the games and put our bowling shoes on. The bowling was kind of expensive, but it was upscale. We went to the lanes and waited forever for a waitress to come by and take our order, didn't happen. So we went back down to the bar, where the service was much faster and all around more entertaining! A waitress informed us she was assigned to our lane if we wanted to order more drinks. We decided to stick with the bartenders, not surprisingly she never stopped by our lane the entire time we were there. Aside from the uninterested waitress the drinks and bowling were great...We loved the vibe and will be back for sure!
Ultra-mod lounge in Belmar caters to upper-crust bowlers who like to bowl, rock and booze all at the same time. – In Short
Having found success in places like Los Angeles and South Beach, Lucky Strike has rolled its way into Denver. This cooler-than-average alley sports 16 lanes, with a 100-foot by 10-foot video wall that stretches over the pins and shows music videos and fine art. So bowl your heart out, or just relax in the custom lounge furniture. And don't worry--the bar still serves hamburgers, but you can also get Key West chicken dusted with herbs.
Great place - Prissy, vapid servers – I have been going to Lucky Strike to play pool fairly regularly since it opened. Enough that I suspect they would know immediately who wrote this if they read it. Overall, it's a great place, very clean, not too loud, good atmosphere, affordable pool, and a few good dishes on the menu. Particularly when compared to pool halls, which are usually stinky and filled with skeezy boys staring at chest as you try to play, lucky strike is glorious.
That said, nearly every single time we have gone, it takes a completely rediculous amount of time for someone to even come over and bring our drinks. This is a tragedy for pool and bowling, as everyone knows skill increases rapidly with booze consumption. Or perhaps it is a perception of skill! Either way, servers would walk past us, look at us, and simply ignore us for an average of about 30 minutes each visit. Each time, literally each freaking time, we would finally go to the check-in area and ask for some help. When the server finally prances (yes, they prance, like it's a damn runway show) over, they are generally snippy for a while because you complained about them. I hate complaining, so even having to go through that is upsetting to me.
I still go because I love the pool and wine, and a few of the male servers are great and have apologized and acknowledged "all the girl servers are horrid, they don't care, and are lazy." But it's to the point where I wonder if they just hate us or something, I can't imagine treating a regular, decent tipping, polite, non-bitchy customer that hates to complain like that.
Hurry up and bowl before they turn you off!!!! – We were there a last Friday and were in the middle of our game. And they
turned us off because we had ran out of time. Most bowling facilities charge you
extra for going over. This one turns you off completely and won't turn you back
on. Going to a bowling ally and being rushed doesn't sound like a fun Friday night
out on the town to me. Jillians and Brunswick lanes are far better for your bowling

Approving a resolution that requests state review and approval of plans for financing the new county government is one of several steps in coming weeks.
That resolution passed unanimously during Tuesday's meeting of Hardin Fiscal Court. The March 11 and March 25 meetings are expected to include two readings on the ordinance to sell the bonds.
Judge-Executive Harry Berry said the bonds likely will be sold in mid-April. Two issuances are planned, including $10 million in tax-exempt bonds.

So I turned 29 this week, officially living in my 30th year. Since I was going to be up in Sacramento visiting my bestie we decided to throw a big party and get lots of our friends to come visit. I came up with this theme – Getting Old Is A Challenge- based on the idea that we would play a series of minute to win it type games.
We decided to neon-ize this party just because we love neon and make it sort of an Olympics based concept – so we would have a podium and medals, etc. Most of that happened but the reality was we were having to much fun to really take the whole game thing really seriously. Let's take a look at some of the decor we used:
First up was the baked potato bar wall centerpiece. I found a quote I liked and made a print online for the focal point then I came up with this idea to use crepe paper and make a flower boarder to anchor it.
Brittany made me a beautiful coconut cake that matched.
Oh and these cupcakes.
Here was the winners podium/photo backdrop we made. Brittany is an art teacher and so we used some of her kids' artwork to pull it all together.
I don't have many pictures of me and my friends yet, they are on another camera so that might end up being a separate post. But here are a just a few:
(Bianca's new little guy Noah)
Thanks Britt for everything, it was a blast!
Here is a look at some of the other printables from the party:
