Jennifer Hudson To Perform At Nigerian Idol
Multiple award winning musician Jennifer Hudson is billed to perform on the season finale of Nigerian Idol. According to an interview the show's Nigerian franchisee, Optima Media Group, granted E-punch, Hudson has been approached and is ready to visit Nigeria for the first time. "We have concluded all arrangements to make her perform at the idol finals. In fact, organisers of the American Idol are the go-between. So, it is taken for granted that she will be in Nigeria in April,". Nigeria's own Grammy award nominee Femi Kuti is also billed to rock the stage.
"I Forgive You".....Mum Says After Coming Face To Face With Son's Killer
She imagined he would be a monster. But when she sat face-to-face with her son's killer, all Grace Idowu saw was a sobbing little boy.
Most parents would never want to take a second look at the person who took their precious child away from them.
But Grace, 52, made the bold decision to go and visit Elijah Dayoni in prison after he brutally knifed her 14-year-old son David to death.
And today she insists she has totally forgiven Dayoni for what he did… and wants to help him become a better person.
She says that, rather than being met by a cold, calculated killer, Dayoni, 16 at the time, was full of remorse and desperate to make amends for his heinous crime.
"I needed to find out the truth," says Grace. "He destroyed my family and I needed to know why."
Dayoni stabbed star student David through the heart after a petty argument at a basketball court in Southwark, South London in June 2008.
He was

Owner Of Popular Upscale Fashion Boutique, Le'space Accused Of 'Rocking and Selling'
You just have to love twitter. Anything you can not wait to settle physically you settle it on Twiiter.

Today's twitter drama is between fashion blogger Terrance Sambo of OneNigerianBoy, the owners of fashion retail boutique Le'space Wonuola Odunsi and Isoken Ogiemwonyi and Wana Sambo.Did not see any tweet from her so she is out of it .....well kinda.
It all started when Terrance accused Wonuola Odunsi {part owner Le'space} of wearing items meant for sale to red carpet events only for the clothes to be returned back to the shop for sale to by an unsuspecting customer.

Wonuola Odunsi is pictured (the above pic) here during one of the days at Arise Fashion Week wearing items from one of the Labels that stock at their store. From what i gathered, this particular label has been at the store since inception and has not sold a dime but Wonu has been spotted times wearing stuff that is supposed to be for sale to 'Red Carpet' events. This isn't even WS Clothing company so they can't even throw the brother allegations…I just want to know, is this right? These items of course get returned to the store for sale after been worn for hours at a time and exposed to body fluids.

President Goodluck Jonathan Nominated For Time Magazine's Most Influential 2012
President Goodluck Jonathan is in the running for Time Magazine's Most Influential People 2012.
According to Time......
The twin imperatives of trying to end a bloody northern Nigeria Islamist rebellion led by Boko Haram and dismantle the fuel subsidies that are one of the country's main sources of corruption (but are also, awkwardly, generally popular for keeping gas prices low) requires bold leadership of Jonathan, who is finishing his first year in office. Whether Nigeria descends into civil unrest, civil war or splits, or whether it reforms and Africa's sleeping giant finally awakens, depends foremost on him.
Other nominees include President Barrack Obama, Drake, Adele,Warren Buffett,Beyonce, Hilary Clinton and a host of others.

Oil And Gas Workers Are The Highest Paid In Nigeria? Find Out How Much People Really Earn In Nigeria
Have you ever wondered what sector of the economy has the highest earners? Well the folks at Jobberman conducted an extensive survey recently and they came up with the following facts....
70% of employees in white collar jobs are male (thought women ran the world..... ladies we need to step up our game oh!!!!. No more brazillian hair....say yes to education ...... lool!!)
The most commonly employed skill set is Accounting/Finance followed by Administrative skills and IT skills.
Quote Of The Day: "The money actors earn per movie is what a stand-up-comedian will earn in one or two hours" ....Teju Babyface
"The money in acting is not worth it in this part of the world,the money they pay you to appear in a movie is not near what you earn in an afternoon of stand-up comedy.
The money per movie is what a stand-up comedian will earn in one or two hours.Except if they will start paying them N30million for a movie that will last for one month. For me the input is not equal to the output.
The output should be inversely proportional to the input,which means that if I should put in one hour of work I should earn exponentially. It should not be the other way round,I should not sleep away for a month and when the job comes I will earn meager.
I should do a movie and be able to tell myself that I am not going to work again till next one month and still be comfortable.I should be able to do a movie and buy a car,land or house somewhere.I shouldn't have to do like ten movies and I am still at a place".

Court Orders Fred Amata To Pay His Landlord N600.000 Within 14 Days
Nollywood actor /producer Fred Amata has been ordered to pay his lanlord N600,000 in rent arrears owed him. The actor was dragged to court in September 2010 by his landlord, Pa I. Fadoyebo, who asked the court to help him repossess his house from the actor.
He claimed that Amata was owing arrears of rent on the four-bedroom bungalow he was occupying at No 8, Razaq Balogun St., Surulere, adding that the rent had accumulated from October 2009 to September 2010.In his judgment, Magistrate Mukaila Fadeyi did not order Amata to vacate the property, but ordered him to pay the arrears within 14 days.
He blamed the lack of diligence prosecution on the part of Fadoyebo's counsel, Mr Y. A Adeshina, for the court's inability to assist the landlord in re-possessing the house.
Fadeyi faulted the tenancy agreement signed between both parties, saying it was not dated while the seven-day quit notice was not served on Amata.
Fadoyebo had on Feb. 7 testified that Amata was a bad tenant who brought all manners of people into his compound.
Amata was not present throughout the court proceedings and neither he nor his counsel, Mr Chris Okoh, was in court when the judgment was delivered.

12-Year-Old Girl Set To Cut Hair For The First Time...Plans To Sell It For £3,500

Natasha spends four hours per week washing her hair and up to an hour-and-a-half brushing it each day. She has to carry it around when she walks, and fold it onto her lap when she sits down. Despite Rio's 40-degree heat Natasha's family cannot switch on a fan in the house because her hair gets caught in it.

Danny Ferry didn't make the decisions that led to the Hawks owing $61 million in salaries next season to six veteran players on a team that's topped out in the second round of the playoffs.
But now that's he's Hawks GM, Ferry will have to build a roster for next season without much financial flexibility. And he will have to start doing it pretty much on the fly because the free-agent negotiating period opens Sunday, less than a week after he took the job.
"It's a crash course, for sure," Ferry said. "I think we want to make the best decisions possible in the short term. We want to make right decisions, whether it's a trade, whether it's free agency. But especially trades."
The trade market remains the best way for the Hawks to make significant additions to the roster (which of course means they'd also have to make significant subtractions).
They continue to get a lot of calls about Josh Smith but the impetus for pursuing Pau Gasol came from Rick Sund and Ferry so far hasn't taken that baton. Ferry hasn't even had a chance to fully assess the roster or meet the players.
Smith has a lot of value as a talented and productive player on a reasonable contract that expires after next season. Al Horford is an attractive piece, too, because he's an All-Star big man locked up for four years and $48 million. Good luck dealing Joe Johnson with four years and $90 million remaining on his contract.
(Aside: I've heard some of my blog people wonder if Ferry will be "allowed" to trade Marvin Williams. Please accept that the Hawks have tried to trade Williams for at least two years and no one is biting. That shouldn't be hard to do since you don't want him on your team at his salary, either.)
If the Hawks don't make a trade, then they'll have to find some value on the free-agent market and perhaps get some contributions from unheralded rookies.
After signing first-round draft pick John Jenkins, Atlanta will have roughly $62 million in salaries committed to seven players. If second-round pick Mike Scott makes the roster and sticks for the year, that's another $473,604. Ferry said he hasn't decided if he will extend a qualifying offer to Ivan Johnson; if the Hawks do so and Johnson ends up playing on that deal, add about $1 million.
That's about $63.5 million dollars for nine players. The roster minimum is 13 and the maximum is 15. The salary cap next season will be no less than $58 million. The luxury-tax threshold last season was $70.3 million and won't rise significantly unless the players and league agree on a big increase in projected BRI for next season.
So, basically, the Hawks likely will have somewhere in the neighborhood of $6.5 to $9 million of room below the tax line to sign four to six players. Ferry said he's authorized to spend into the tax but would like to avoid doing so.
"I want to build a roster that has some flexibility to it," Ferry said. "Ownership has told me when appropriate, that when going over the tax makes sense as far as making us a better team, that is something we would be allowed to do. I want to use that judiciously, though, when you are given that opportunity to do so.
"In this new CBA, some of the challenges when being over the tax as far as trade restrictions as far as exceptions available to you going forward have changed the spending habits in the NBA. Would I think over the next few years we would go over the tax? I think there is a good chance but, again, I want to do that in a judicious manner."
Ferry is talking about the more-punitive tax penalties that begin in 2012-13. Teams over the threshold will pay a higher tax; will have a smaller mid-level exception and no bi-annual exception; can't take as much salary back in trades; and won't be able to receive a player in a sign-and-trade if they are $4 million or more above the tax level.
Translation for the Hawks: Ferry can use the mid-level and bi-annual exceptions and make the Hawks tax-payers again but he'd better be sure he's signing players that put the Hawks over the top.
"If the belief was it was going to make us a lot better, those things are on the table whether now or later in the year," Ferry said. "The dollar amount certainly is a parameter as it relates to the tax. You'd prefer not to go over it. But right time, right trade, right thing [then] ownership, Bruce Levenson, has told me that if it's appropriate and right and it would really make a difference we would have the ability to do so.
"I want to say with that I don't think it's always the right thing to go over the tax because of the rule and because of the way things operate. Most teams are never one player away. I think that's a mistake sometimes teams make. We are going to look at opportunities and make a decision."
The opportunities will be there for the Hawks on the trade market. There's a sense of urgency because free agency opens in a couple days but Ferry said he plans to stay patient.
"Every player we may like, [the process] will take its own pace," he said. "We will have some control over that but the players will have some control over that, as well. So we are going to make our calls on July 1, we are going to explore every option and hopefully we can make good decisions.
"Honestly, last year–I know I keep crediting Rick–but I thought they did a pretty nice job filling out their roster from where they were. Hopefully we can find avenues to do as well, [and] hopefully even better."

Well duh, how about renegotiating Joe Johnsons contract for the good of the team, and free up money to get new talent. Oh, I forgot, Johnson doesn't give a rats a$$ about the good of the team. Get out of town losers.

Gotta resign ivan. We need a player with a mean streak
June 29th, 2012

Honestly the biggest prob is Joe's contract entirely too much for the level he's playing at. On the other hand Marv just hasn't proven hesself worthy either. But for all of u tru hawks fans really Josh has came too play last year and did very good and definitly dosn't deserves not too get a new contract if u signed Joe u might as well pay Josh. Cause we all know he's (Josh) is a player that just wanna win and ain't nothing wrong with that. But still good vet out there Allan Iverson

We got a new coach for Josh.
Seems like he don't like the new coach either.
and he's from Atl?
We need to send him packin.
Problem is, we won't get value for his ability, as other teams realize they will be inheriting a cancer.

Call up Golden State they expressed interest in Marvin Williams.
Marvin Williams and a 2nd round pick for Dorell Wright and Festus Ezeli…this one probably won't happen.
Marvin Williams and a 2nd round pick for Andris Biedrins and Draymond Green…more realistic trade scenario.
June 29th, 2012

If Ferry don't know that he should resign Ivan, he is clueless. Ivan is cheap and he plays backup to 3 positions very good. He is the only tough player on the team. He had heart and again, he is cheap.

Marvin for Devin Harris (1yr/8.5mil)….

The Book On Perry Jones
Posted by Darnell Mayberry on June 29, 2012M at 2:05 am
News, notes and nuggets from Thursday night's selection of Perry Jones III.
Thunder general manager Sam Presti: "We didn't enter this draft thinking that Perry Jones would be there at 28 for us."
Chalk it up to an alleged knee issue that caused Jones, who shall be referred to as PJ3, to slip. A year ago, he was a projected top 10 pick.
"Perry Jones obviously is an extremely talented individual and somebody that we feel very fortunate to be able to add to our team," said Presti.
Lots of questions about why PJ3 slipped so far. Those questions were posed to Presti and assistant GM Troy Weaver. And, again, it came back to the knee. "People probably had questions about medicals…I would think that maybe that had something to do with it," said Weaver. "Maybe people didn't do their homework as well. I'm not sure. But I would think that the medical had something to do with it because he was projected to be picked higher."
A little more from Presti: "Sometimes, it's kind of like a chessboard so to speak. Once things start to happen, there's a real trickle down effect. Certain teams are locked in on certain players, and certain teams have different needs. And the next thing you know, guys that you don't anticipate being there start to fall to you. Sometimes, guys that you don't anticipate being there fall to you and you can't capitalize. This time, we felt like we could."
Presti expressed a great deal of confidence in Jones' knee. He said the team has done a lot of research and "felt very comfortable making this selection at 28." "We looked at all the information that we had available, and we wouldn't have selected him unless we felt comfortable with all the information," Presti said.
Presti declined to say whether PJ3 will require surgery on his knee. But he reiterated that the organization felt comfortable with the alleged issue. "Before I say too much, what I'd like to do is just make sure our group has a chance to see him and get a baseline where he is," Presti said. "But as I said before, he had an incredible athletic testing performance at the pre-draft combine and has played two seasons at Baylor consistently. But we need to let those guys get a baseline as to where he is and how we can continue to improve him as an athlete."
Presti was asked whether this selection had any sort of "DeJuan Blair effect," as in not letting a talent again slip away because of health concerns. Presti, perhaps shockingly, said "I don't know." It wasn't a real 'I don't know.' It felt like much more of an 'I'm not going to answer that with the truth I don't know.'
Of course, a question about the James Harden-for-Bradley Beal rumor had to be posed to Presti. And, of course, Presti didn't give anything remotely close to an answer nor anything remotely as good as "To me, it's rubbish." Here's what Presti said about the rumor that had Thunder heads running wild for 24 hours. "I couldn't tell you where that stuff starts, because we don't pay a whole lot of attention to it," Presti said. "All I can say is it's that time of year. James Harden is a coveted player. But I don't think anyone covets him as much as we do. He's a player that, as we've said before, has really grown with this organization and we're really excited about having him."
Presti said he attended PJ3′s first college practice. "I remember it sticking out to me the fact that he was a freshman that was out there early before anybody else," Presti said. "We feel really strongly about his work ethic in combination with a lot of physical gifts that he has."
Presti said the him and his staff asked PJ3′s college coach, Scott Drew, to sum up PJ3 in three words. They were: "Great teammate, caring and humble."
I know. That's four words.
At any rate. "Those are traits that we feel are really important to our program here," Presti said. "Additionally, we just feel like he blends with us as an organization on and off the floor."
Jones, according to Presti, is 6-10.25″ without shoes and has 4.5 percent body fat.
Is PJ3 more of a 3 or a 4 at the NBA level? "We won't pigeonhole him," said Weaver. "We think he can play anywhere on the front line. He's a versatile player. The coaches will handle that. But we see his versatility as a strength."
Now, about PJ3′s propensity for passivity on the court. It might have just been spin, but Weaver and Presti made PJ3′s up-and-downs out to be a positive. "Everybody looks at his talent and says this guy should be dominant," Weaver said. "But he plays within a teamwork and tries to blend with players and help his team win ballgames."
More from Weaver: "We're not that concerned about how assertive he is because he has a tremendous work ethic. He brings his hard hat every day. But he's just a guy that just tries to fit in and help the team win. I remember people saying that about different players like Tayshaun Prince and stuff like that. But Tayshaun just tried to help his team win and Perry is the same type of guy. He just tries to help his team win."
Now there's a comparison, not that Weaver was comparing the two. But if Perry James Jones III is anything, anything at all, like Tayshaun Durell Prince, he won't just be a steal. He'll easily be the best pick in the last 10 years.
A quick look at PJ3′s first 15 games this season illustrates how erratic he was. Here are his point totals in those games: 27, 12, 8, 28, 6, 14, 4, 8, 14, 9, 17, 19, 18, 8, 21…The same type of pattern was seen over his final 18 games.
Take a look at PJ3′s numbers from his freshman to his sophomore season. The thing that stands out is he didn't take a big jump in anything. As a matter of fact, he actually averaged fewer points, blocks and free throw attempts, while shooting a much worse percentage from the field. Weaver again looked at the glass as half full. "His numbers were down, but they won more games," Weaver said. "So I think he tried to blend more, help his teammates more and understand that coming back, taking more of a leadership role, he had to kind of spread his wings a little more and spread his game out."
I don't know what to think about PJ3′s passivity, to be honest. But I know that Presti brought up a great point, one that I think we should all file in the memory bank for two or three years down the line. At some point, it will come into play. "We really see him as a blend player," Presti said. "We see great value in the fact that he's incredibly talented, but he's able to play within a team and understand how he can impact a game. He doesn't need to be forcing the issue at all times. And with our particular team, we feel like that's a huge quality that we looked at as a positive for us." Amen to that. With Harden, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant seemingly set to be together for years to come, the Thunder doesn't need another player who wants and needs the ball. Whenever PJ3 cracks the rotation, it will be a luxury to have a talented big man who can get you 20 one night but also be content with taking a lesser role as a scorer yet still gobble up 10 boards and block four shots the next.
Baylor played a lot of zone, which naturally hides players on defense. But when asked about PJ3′s defensive skills, Weaver spoke highly of him. "I think he rates pretty solid," Weaver said. "He can defend. He's long. He can guard multiple positions…I think that his versatility and his length would lend to him being a solid defender here."
Weaver said PJ3 has shooting range out to the college 3 with consistency.
Can PJ3 provide low-post scoring? That's, of course, the one thing Thunder heads near and far want most on this team. But as you might expect, Presti shut it down by sidestepping questions about PJ3′s ability to be an effective post scorer. "I think we have to be careful," Presti said. "I think we have to get him in and kind of see where he is before we try to establish what it is he's going to give us."
PJ3 did not come to Oklahoma City for a workout. The Thunder saw him at the pre-draft camp in Chicago.
Presti on what about PJ3 to him has stood out the most over the past two years: "I think humility. I think he's a very, very humble person."
Asked about the conversation he had with PJ3 tonight, Presti declined to go into specifics. But he said PJ3 demonstrated his humility. "The first thing he did was thank us for the opportunity," Presti said. "We're excited about having somebody like that. He's our type of person in terms of his approach and his humility."
Presti said he anticipates PJ3 being with the team for the Orlando Summer League, which runs July 9-13.
With a starting five that is shaping up to include Reggie Jackson, Lazar Hayward, Latavious Williams, PJ3 and Cole Aldrich, the Thunder is quite likely to dominate the Orlando Summer League.
Not really Thunder related, but other notable rookies that could be competing in Orlando are Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo for Boston, Andre Drummond for Detroit, Mo Harkless for Philadelphia and Tyshawn Taylor for Brooklyn.
Taylor will be a great challenge for Jackson. I can't wait to see that. If both are healthy and competing, it will go down Thursday, July 12 at noon.
I asked Presti about Jeff Green-gate. He declined further comment after NBA commissioner David Stern. But Presti did confirm that it is indeed Charlotte's 2013 second-round pick that will be sent to Boston. I didn't ask why it's that one, which I am now kicking myself for failing to do. I'll get that answer and get back.
Jones is scheduled to be introduced in OKC in the next couple of days. Nothing's been set yet, but it seems likely to be Saturday.

Mike Scott hitting about 17 treys in a row from various points is pretty impressive on his draft workout. Saw the video on youtube.
His J ain't broke.

10:50 pm
I like I told you last night, OKC pick PJ3 b/c he was available not just to let him sit on the bench to be develop in practice. If PJ3 pans out, Ibaka or Perkins will hit the road. This is how you keep cap flexibility by having young talent on rookie contracts on your roster and in player rotation.
"Thunder general manager Sam Presti: "We didn't enter this draft thinking that Perry Jones would be there at 28 for us."
"Perry Jones obviously is an extremely talented individual and somebody that we feel very fortunate to be able to add to our team,""
You mention in the other blog that PJ3 had head/attitude issues. I follow this kid since his senior year in HS and I never heard anyone said he had attitude issues. I always heard that he was a very humble kid. Maybe he could use a stronger motor at times but never a problem child.
"Presti said he attended PJ3′s first college practice. "I remember it sticking out to me the fact that he was a freshman that was out there early before anybody else," Presti said. "We feel really strongly about his work ethic in combination with a lot of physical gifts that he has."

Let's face it – we drafted 2 pretty good kids, that we all hope succeed. Jenkins has no speed, is careless with the BB, will get his pocket picked a ton until he develops some moves.
That being said, he has a crazy good shot from all angles and directions, double teamed or wide open.
Scott can hit the J also. I think I see where this team is headed regardless of who is coach. We are getting some guys that can hit shots. That's not a bad thing.

Beware of the Legend of Marvin Williams..
Hey SteveW, it is alleged that in Marvin's Pre-draft workouts with the Hawks he never missed a jumper and the rest as they say is history? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
June 29th, 2012
11:07 pm
SteveW the NBA have some the worlds best athletes.. Guys at 6′8 and 6′9″ move as quick as 6′2″ guards..
Those uncontested jumpers become contested now..Mike will see defenses he's never seen in college.. He will not see 3 second windows to get the shot off anymore…
He'll be lucky to hit 3 out of 17 in this Pro game..
See All Get Real and his 1950's set shot get shut down in the playoffs time and again because of the terrific closeouts by professional defenders….

Melvin it is all speculation for sure, however, there is a better reason than his knee unless it is in need of an operation, why he fell so far in the draft where fifteen to twenty teams will be shaking their head for missing. If he needs surgery thennhe wouldnt be a match here for an nba team that has six signed players and very little money tonspend on the other nine. Got it?
The head issue is related to work ethic. That wasnt mentioned in the three words, though those used were very complimentary. We got mature men and I think pj3 still has to grow into a man. You know I hope it happens in okc as I like that program as well. Again, I reiterate we didnt maybe do our home work to know more about the guy in the case he fell and couldnt just walk a limb and pick someone high on the yahoo or espn draft list that was an unknown physically and emotionally.

You remember greg oden looked pretty good to most though he had obvious body issues going into the draft. It didn't work out well for Portland.
Speaking of which, both the blazers and the hornets got the bigs and point guards we never did in our building process in one draft. That sucks.

I don`t know if you saw my post last nite:
Mike Scott does not have a 1950`s set shot.
i watched extensive video last eve and today.
Once again, I cannot believe I didn`t check this guy out beforehand.
i viewed tape of workouts and game tape.
*[not combine tape] …
*(instructional tape where he`s being worked by mentors / skill coaches)
This kid reminds me alot of our guy Andrew Nicholson:
*not as long & rangy
*better ouside stroke / actually beautiful smooth, easy release
*similar post game
*high basketball IQ
*very good pick and roll defender
*and he plays his ass off
This was a very good pick !
I think you will like this kid.

PJIII is mentally soft…
He averaged 17pts a game is High school with that body… Really? This game is played on the court, not with a measuring tape. OKC can take a risk on an athletic scrub like PJII, because if he fails they will blame and not the team…. The Hawks, not so much.
The difference between Mike Scott/John Jenkins vs Marvin…. They were their teams #1 options. The means teams game planned to stop them, but they couldn't … That matters!!!
TRUTH: Nobody like the way the Spurs win games, because it isn't pretty.
Ferry is going to build this team as close to the Spurs as possible… Tony Parker is the PG and the ball is always in his hands and the inmates don't run the asylum.
If Josh stays with the team this year or in the future….. Watch the jumpers come down and he will start giving the ball to Teague, because LD(Backed by the power of his GM) will no longer accept those losing plays by Josh.
We needed a new culture more than a new coach… The Culture is the engine, the Coach is the driver.

We were taking Marvin regardless of if he wa hittng every shot or not at his workout. WOODY DIDNT WANT ROOKIE PG. Hell, Marvin cant even walk straight, and they still took him. Shows how much they DIDNT want Paul or DWill. Stop bringing up the curse of 2005 when talking about Jenkins. Totally different players.

However, there is a better reason than his knee, unless it is in need of an operation, why he fell so far in the draft, to where fifteen to twenty teams will be shaking their head for missing on him. If he needs surgery then he wouldnt be a match here as we are an nba team that has six signed players and very little money to spend on the other nine. Got it?

I like John Jenkins as a shooter, but I think the Hawks should have passed on him. There are always shooters/SGs available for a decent price in free agency. JR Smith, Jamal, OJ Mayo, Jodie Meeks, just to name a few. And who knows who else might become available.
I would have preferred to see the Hawks draft a front court player. PF/C/SF.
June 30th, 2012
12:23 am
Has Sund and his staff made a bad pick since they have been here? Sund has made some very, very, very bad center/ upside picks in his career…. Maybe he understand a bad BIG when he sees one.
I think Sund and LD understand shooters.. Green, Pargo, Vlad, JC1, JC2 and Ray Allen…. I think Jenkins is going to be a stud.
June 30th, 2012
12:23 am
Cosign your 12:14 post. If the Hawks wanted to make sure they bring in a rotational player, that's what Free Agency and trades are for. Shooters like Jenkins are a dime a dozen. And it's not a guarantee that Jenkins will be NBA rotational player…. I would have prefer to see the Hawks gamble on a frontcourt player like PJ3 or Moultrie

Astro is correct – James & Wade are both clean cut & well spoken athletes. Everyone is sporting tatoos these days so that means nothing. Gentleman or A-hole who cares – its all about what happens on the court.
jhan, I don't think you truly realize or understand what hard-core "conservatism" and "traditionalism" represents and entails. LeBron James is tattooed from (damn near) head-to-toe and was born out-of-wedlock to a teenage mother. LBJ also has/had an "estranged" relationship with his father. LBJ is currently unmarried and has two sons that were born out-of-wedlock. D-Wade has gone through a (much-publicized) divorce and was recently caught on camera cursing at and arguing with Coach Spo' during a timeout of a playoff game vs. the Pacers. D-Wade also has been wearing outlandish and bizarre clothing/attire. Both players (LBJ and D-Wade) are high-profile, super-rich, unmarried, heterosexual, (probably) virile, black male athletes – that alone (in and of itself) turns "off" a lot of conservatives and traditionalists.
Just because many of these (black male) athletes are expressing their "freedoms" and "liberties" doesn't mean (that) the "conservatives," "traditionalists," and "silent majority" like what they (these {professional} athletes) are doing.

high sider, a basic rule in life. 1/3 will like you, 1/3 wont. it is the other 1/3 you have to worry about in almost any high profile existence.
so what is your point? not everyone of color is capable of being seen through this prism of yours? do you really think everyone is going to be accepting or like everything and everybody irrespective of color? you dont seem to be open and loving, so why so intolerant of others? let it go bro. you really are as sad to hear talk on this as some of the rednecks that didnt get civil rights, so stuck in the past and belief systems that i have had to listen to. have you ever looked into integral thinking and memes? maybe you might consider it to enlighten and gain some perspective.
right now you seem as stuck as this perceived enemy you fend off. you are like a quixotic man with a windmill, "the "conservatives," "traditionalists," and "silent majority", in your mind to fight. everything you write about suggests that is all you see. you deserve a day with rush maybe as a desensitization treatment. you certainly cant love your fellow man so why should these windmills you see to fight everywhere?

I`m a traditionalist, a basketball purist;
and when I coached I had alot of old fashioned guidelines.
But what has that got to do with the parents
from which my players came.
How could I judge my players based on their background and upbringing.
I said I was a traditionalist, a purist;
yet I`m not a conservative.
I consider myself a progressive.
Politically – I`m somewhere between a Socialist & a Libertarian.
Have fun trying to figure that one out.

**I believe in taking care of the poor;
and I also believe America cannot afford to run an Empire.
I was raised pore – that`s poor except worse !
I was raised by a single parent mother.
Father took off when I was a youngster.
Was I destined to be a bad person ?
D.Howard is supposed to be pristine and clean cut;
plus he is a Christian.
He has fathered a child … he is not married;
or at least not to the baby`s mother.
Can he still be a Christian, clean cut, good guy ?
Yes to all – if he chooses.
Are Republicans bad ? Yes
`cause we all are inherently bad.
Can Republicans be good ? of course.
George Bush was a bad President but a good man – I believe.
Nether one bad pres / good man:

Your comment above was in response to my comment @4:49pm dated 6/29/2012 which did not even mention "black," "white," or a particular player's race. Why are you so sensitive and uptight? Bill Laimbeer, Chris "Birdman" Anderson, Jeff Ruland, K. Fesenko, Zaza Pachulia, Brian Cardinal and Joe Klein are some basketball players that I would consider and describe as being "rough," "rugged," and "raw." And guess what, Grandad? All of those (aforementioned) players are white. Yep, that's right; they (those players) are white (players).
You should know (by now) I have no problems mentioning or discussing race (on this blog). Why are you so upset and angry? I'm the black man; I'm the one who should be angry, mad and bitter as hell (and I am {LOL}). You acted as if I said the American social, political and economic order (system) benefits white people, in general, and white males, in particular, and currently has a pro-white, white-supremacist agenda/policy – and it (the order/system) does.
43 of 44 US Presidents are/were white.
96 of 100 US Senators are white.
361 of 435 US Representatives are white.
Seven of nine US Supreme Court Justices are white.
481 of the Fortune 500 CEO's are white.
Do you see (racial) (dis)proportionality? Do you see (racial) over-representation/under-representation?
You do the math. You add it up. And now, you book it.
If I'm a bigot, what would you call "the American way of life"?

0`B and Melvin
Two point – one for each.
(1) " R Smith, Jamal, OJ Mayo, Jodie Meek ":
Of this group only Jodie Meeks is a pure shooter.
Smith is a streak shooter, while Mayo is a combo guard
who`s capable of doing much more and will be paid more.
I really think Mayo would be a terrific pick-up & a good match with Teague,
allowing JT to play off the ball some. OJM also is a terrific pick & roll pg.
Back to comparing with JJenkins;
Meeks is the only comparable and Jenkins is cheaper, regardless.
(2) " Shooters like Jenkins are a dime a dozen "
Melvin, I hate to disagree, but `elite' shooters are hard to come by.
JJenkins is an elite shooter !

H-S. Not sure what your point is. You can't argue that those two are not well spoken. They have tatoos – who doesn't these days? Hard core "conservatism" has multiple meanings depending on your social beliefs. You'll have to expand for me.
June 30th, 2012
2:01 am
doc, thanks for the sympathy regarding the technical difficulties (LOL). Hey, doc, I've just gone through years of racial discrimination and hatred in the "professional" workplace. doc, in order for you to find (out) why I am the way that I am, all you (would) need to do is (just) look at the "tag" on the back of my (shirt) collar because it will say/read "Made in America." Get it, doc (LOL)? My experiences (in America) have made me what I am today. And some cynics would say, "Yeah, it's ('the experience') made you bitter." And I would then respond, "Yeah, it's ('the experience') also made me wake up and be conscious (aware)."

" it's a "(conservative) culture change thing"/approach. With the "Danny boy" (Ferry) at the helm, you can expect the Atlanta Hawks (franchise) to become the "Duke Blue Devils" of the NBA. The Atlanta Hawks will look to add players who are supposedly clean cut, upright, wholesome, have a positive image, have very little to no tattoos, have no checkered (chequered) past(s), "good guy" types."
Once again you are parsing out segments of my post,
and taking what I said out of context.
You and I both know it.
My post crossed color lines, gender lines, socioeconomic lines,
and so on, and so on, and so on.
You, once again, focused in on color, making it as if I,
not you are the one with the bias.
My focus is trying to get you to understand:
" And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love "
- I Corinthians 13:13 -
Here are two tough guys:
Dennis Rodman & Shane Battier
*'`tough in different ways`'*
As opposite as nite is to day.
-Yet both tough-
You were the one who brought up tatoos and the like.
e.g.; Rodman = tough / the analogy was Ivan, I believe.
I`ve coached farm boys who are as tough as nails.
I coached against a bunch of tobacco farmers kids once.
Never could beat that bunch of hard workin` bruisers.
You missed the entire point of my post again.
Tough ain`t what you look like.
You cannot tell good from bad on the outside;
it is what is in one`s heart.

Our Beliefs
CCF is a non-denominational church seeking to be faithful to the Scripture while fostering united evangelical witness. Our distinctive beliefs include the following:
Salvation: We believe that all are sinners in need of God`s forgiveness and life, and that this is provided by His grace through repentance and faith in Christ alone. All who put their faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord receive eternal life and are saved forever.
The Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit comes to indwell each believer at the moment of conversion. The Holy Spirit equips each believer for service through His gifts and graces. All Christians are to claim daily the fullness of the Holy Spirit's power for fruitful living.
The Bible: We believe that the 66 Books of the Bible were given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and protected, in the original writings, from error. The Bible alone is our only and completely adequate source of spiritual truth.
Baptism: We believe that baptism is a visible expression of faith for believers in Christ, administered by immersion in water as a symbol of our identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
The Return of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again in power and great glory to bring judgement on the world and to gather His own into eternal fellowship with Him. CCF members hold various views as to the nature and timing of these prophetic events, but are united in the conviction that we are to be on alert, waiting for this blessed hope.
Our Leadership: The congregation is led by a group of leaders chosen by the congregation to share the duties of overseeing and guiding the church's ministry. The present Elder Board of seven men includes three full-time pastors.

Make sure you use artichoke hearts canned in water, not marinated artichoke hearts.
Keep an eye on the chicken while it's under the broiler. It can go from done to burnt in a few seconds, so it's best to watch it until it's ready.

'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America
Independent voices from the TWT Communities
A lot of this spring for Dan Haren is about acclimating himself and adjusting to new things. A new team, new facilities, a new league and new catchers. Then there are the new things he's trying to add to a repertoire that has made him one of the most reliable starting pitchers in the major leagues over the course of his career.
Gonzalez, whose name surfaced in a report by the Miami New Times, said he has cooperated with Major League Baseball's investigation into the matter and felt "very confident" that he will be cleared when the investigation is complete.
Baseball union head Michael Weiner said it would be unfair to make judgments about players and agents before evidence is sorted out in the sport's latest drug investigation.
Tigers starter Max Scherzer was lifted with one out in the top of the seventh. With a runner on second, rookie Drew Smyly retired Brandon Crawford on a flyball and Octavio Dotel got Angel Pagan on a grounder to second to keep the score tied.
Big-time pitching by Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt.
After getting 2 1-3 hitless innings of relief from Tim Lincecum, the Giants are handing the ball to closer Sergio Romo in the ninth. He's trying to nail down a 2-0 win over Detroit for a commanding 3-0 lead in the World Series.
That's it. The final score is Giants 2, Tigers 0 for the second consecutive game in this World Series.
Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong was lifted with two outs in the sixth, after 104 pitches and his fourth walk of the game.
Game 1 of the 2012 World Series is in the books. Pablo Sandoval hit three home runs and the San Francisco Giants cruised to an 8-3 rout of the Detroit Tigers behind Barry Zito and Tim Lincecum.
Max Scherzer capped a stupendous stretch for Detroit's starting rotation, and the Tigers advanced to the World Series for the second time in seven years by beating the New York Yankees 8-1 Thursday for a four-game sweep of the American League Championship Series.
Delirious only minutes earlier, fans at Yankee Stadium sat stunned in utter disbelief while they watched Derek Jeter being helped off the field, his left leg dangling.
Delirious only minutes earlier, fans at Yankee Stadium sat stunned in utter disbelief while they watched Derek Jeter being helped off the field, his left leg dangling.
Derek Jeter has broken his ankle and is out for the rest of the postseason.
Prince Fielder had an RBI single after Miguel Cabrera was intentionally walked, Doug Fister pitched gutsy five-hit ball, and the Detroit Tigers took a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees through six innings of Game 1 of the American League championship series on Saturday night.
There could have been some infighting when the Detroit Tigers were languishing below .500 midway through the season, or even when they trailed the Chicago White Sox deep into September.
Jhonny Peralta made two difficult plays to deny the Yankees with the bases loaded in each of the first two innings against Fister.
"I feel happy. I want to be with the Tigers," Peralta said. "Playing shortstop, for me, is my natural position. I feel really comfortable."

Sigur Ros' songs have a tendency to go on way too long, but the group's peaks are such that we must cherish them, flaws and all.

Silencing a 1200-strong audience with little more than a glockenspiel is certainly no mean feat, but that's the sort of band that Sigur Rós are.
Takk, their major label debut, comes across almost as conventional. There are proper songs! With names, and lyrics – conveyed in Icelandic yet recognizably of this universe. Have Sigur Ros gone normal on us?
Fans disappointed at Sigur Ros's recent omission of Ireland on their recent tour will no doubt be pleased to learn that they're coming back over to make amends.

This may be their first foray onto a major label, but Babatikidido is still a typically unconventional project.. As the soundtrack to avant-garde choreographer Merce Cunningham's 50th Gala Performance, this three-track instrumental wonder is appropriately fluid and dramatic.

The Obama Presidency's War in Iran
May 21, 2009 by Jeff Gates · 1 Comment
President Obama's decision to release top-secret torture memos was reached in the office of Rahm Emanuel over protests from the Director of Central Intelligence. Former Vice President Dick Cheney defended the practice, claiming America is safer for it. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi then sought to defend her criticism despite early knowledge of it.
Caught lying, Pelosi attacked the CIA. Director Leon Panetta defended Agency briefers and their detailed records of what Pelosi was told. Needing the Speaker's help to spearhead his ambitious legislative agenda, Obama's team brokered a peace between Democrats Pelosi and Panetta.
Why did both Republican Cheney and Democrat Pelosi support the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on one particular "high value" detainee? Answer: the case for war required a plausible "high-level link" between the secular Saddam—who hated religious fundamentalists—and the religious fundamentalists of Al Qaeda—who hated him. After 83 waterboardings, the link emerged in a confession.
Akin to the Inquisition, this detainee was "put to the question." When proposing to wage a global crusade on false pretenses (The Clash of Civilizations), war-planners required One True Faith in that linkage. As in the Dark Ages, the confession was later recanted and the case collapsed—but only after the war in Iraq was well underway.
Even now that link remains an article of faith—alongside weapons of mass destruction, meetings in Prague and mobile biological weapons laboratories. All were bogus. But without this key link, the case would have been exposed as phony, even treasonous. However, the worst was yet to come—a November 18 White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a two-hour Oval Office encounter with this hawkish right-winger, an untested U.S. commander in chief met his Monica Lewinsky. Distracted by a promiscuous White House intern, Bill Clinton found himself embroiled in impeachment proceedings when he should have been keeping a closer eye on Al Qaeda. The allure of Netanyahu differs in kind but not in its impact on national security—and potentially on the Obama presidency.
The day before their meeting, Netanyahu met with an ebullient American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee. Obama's Justice Department had not only withdrawn its espionage case against two AIPAC spies, the lobby had also silenced Obama while they savaged Charles Freeman, forcing him to withdraw his acceptance as chairman of the National Intelligence Council. A known skeptic of Israeli designs on the region, Freeman would have overseen the National Intelligence Estimate, coordinating the views of all 16 intelligence agencies.
By the time Netanyahu appeared alongside Obama, a U.S. president looked like he was a visitor in the office of the Israeli Prime Minister. Rather than issue photographs of their meeting as he did days earlier with Israeli president Shimon Peres, Obama granted Netanyahu a widely reported press conference in which he failed to press Israel's new prime minister to end the four-decade occupation of Palestine as the top priority for achieving peace in the region.
Instead, he allowed the Israeli leader to use the White House as a pulpit to announce that peace with the Palestinians was a distant second to the risks posed by Iran. Romanced by Netanyahu and the pro-Israelis who populate his presidency, Obama once again fulfilled AIPAC's wish list. By allowing pro-Israelis to control the White House agenda and Israelis to control the message, Obama signaled a go-ahead to those long determined to expand to Iran the war in Iraq.
While Netanyahu met with Obama, Israelis were pouring the foundations for settlement expansion, that conduct sent a clear signal to those waiting to see who controls foreign policy in the Obama administration. Only the next day did Secretary of State Clinton call for a halt to the settlements.
When Israeli jets bombed Gaza the next day, that conduct reconfirmed who controls U.S. policy. Only after their meeting did CIA Director Panetta urge that Israel not attack Iran. By then it was too late. America's commander-in-chief had tipped his hand: what AIPAC wants, Israel gets.
Within 24 hours of their meeting, a letter was delivered to Obama by 76 Senators warning, "We must take into account the risks (Israel) will face in any peace agreement." Within 48 hours, a 90-6 Senate vote denied Obama the funds required to close detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay. In a resounding rebuke, both Democrats and Republicans decried his inexperience in national security—making the militaristic Netanyahu look "presidential" by comparison.
The vote tally was known well beforehand by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, Obama's top political strategist. Both played key roles in producing this presidency. Both Obama and national security were victims of this sophisticated operation.
In stage-managing this series of back-to-back political debacles, Obama's pro-Israeli advisers worked hand-in-glove with the Israel lobby to ensure he was left with few options but to support Israel's designs on the region. Forced to prove his mettle, the commander-in-chief will find he has no hope of managing his way through the crises now awaiting him—except to back Israel's expansionist agenda for the Middle East, ensuring more hatred for the U.S. while fueling The Clash. In the pursuit of Israel's agenda, the Obama presidency is proving itself the missing link.

How To Get More Juice Out Of A Sub-Par Guest Post
Everyone knows that writing superb content is the best way to approach guest posting. However, if you're doing a large scale link building campaign, it's not realistic to push out masterpieces several times a week. You're going to have a mix of subpar guest posts on subpar blogs that only exist for the sake of getting a link.
Here's a tactic you can use to leverage more out of those posts.
The point of great content
Great content gets noticed. It gets a lot of eyeballs and a lot of links pointing back to it. However, writing an amazing guest post on a blog that doesn't have an active community, can fall flat on it's face. That's why I suggest keeping your best content for those top sites. If you're writing a guest post for a site with a large community that is well recognized, you'll get much more leverage out of it.
Why get posts on mediocre blogs?
If two sites both have links from the top 10 influential blogs of their niche, but one also has links from several mediocre blogs, which do you think will rank better? When you publish high quality content on a site other than your own, that site is going to get the majority of the links, not yours. That's why it's important to promote on other blogs as well. So even though you won't get the same amplification posting on a small community blog, you'll still get that juicy link. Plus, this also helps build a diverse back link profile.
Getting the most out of that guest post
Obviously, a link from a high authority site carries more weight than a link from a lower authority site. This isn't something you can imitate, however posts on higher authority sites get more back links naturally than others. This is something you can mimc, or at least to some degree.
Easy Links You Can Target
- Social Bookmarks: This is probably the easiest place to start. After you get a guest post up, point some social bookmarks at your post. If you don't have the time, it's easy to find services that will do the submissions for you at a minimal price.
- Tumblr: Use a creative or funny image in your post and link it back to your post. Something that is bound to get a few reblogs. Unlike most social platforms, it's pretty easy to get reposts on Tumblr without a following by taking advantage of the hashtags feature. You should also put a link in the comments section of the post, so that when it gets reblogged, it's also reblogging your link. Neil Patel wrote a great piece on leveraging Tumblr properly that's worth a read.
- Pinterest: Build up several boards on Pinterest for different themes of images. As you add images to these boards you'll build up a following of people to those niche boards. Now you can use the same image you used on Tumblr, and post it on Pinterest (linking back to your post, not your Tumblr). If you have a small following on these boards, it's easy to get a few repins.
These tactics, among others, should be used for higher quality guest posts as well. The reason I chose these specifically though, is because they don't require much time to attain and they focus more on a link than the content.
Even though these links aren't superb quality, they are showing that the post is active; giving it more weight.

I think it's important to post on all quality level of blogs. You never really know where that blog is going to be in 1, 2 or even 5 years from now. The post(s) could be worth a lot more than their initial appearance/evaluation may indicate.
