In his 28 years in the military, Pennsylvania Army National Guard Col. Michael Konzman has been deployed to Iraq, Germany, Korea and elsewhere.At each stop, he's been able to count on the USO for support, whether it's offering live entertainment shows or morale-boosting comforts of home."You name it, the USO is there," he said. "The USO is a fantastic organization."Konzman, deputy commander of the 28th Infantry Division's 55th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, was at the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory recently as the Liberty USO — which handles all of Pennsylvania and south and central New Jersey — received some really good news.State Sens. Mike Stack and Larry Farnese delivered a $100,000 check, courtesy of the state Department of Community and Economic Development.Konzman said the USO deserves the money. He's especially impressed by the organization's assistance to the families of fallen soldiers. Staff and volunteers work with Philadelphia International Airport security, airlines and car-rental companies to lessen the stress on families en route to Delaware's Dover Air Force Base, where those who have given the ultimate sacrifice are taken."There is no finer organization in the world. Period. End of story," he said.The funds will be used to provide meals to 65,000 soldiers and their families at the Liberty USO center at Terminal A-East on the tarmac level of the airport.The 5,000-square-foot facility provides services to soldiers and their families who are departing to, or coming home from, overseas military service.Around the clock, military personnel and their loved ones have access to meals, Internet, showers, laundry, bunks, a library, game room and a home theater.Liberty USO has been serving the needs of active duty, reserve and National Guard personnel for more than 60 years."What the USO does is so, so important," Farnese said at the July 13 news conference.The armory, at 2700 Southampton Road, is located in Stack's district.The lawmaker, a lawyer, is a member of the Army National Guard, serving in the Judge Advocate General Corps. He credited Gov. Tom Corbett and former Gov. Ed Rendell with supporting efforts to deliver funding for the USO.The way Stack sees it, the organization provides the "niceties of home.""The USO makes a huge difference in the soldiers' and their families' lives," Stack said.In 2010, Liberty USO served more than 135,000 soldiers and their families.Joe Brooks, a Pine Valley resident who serves as president and chief operating officer of Liberty USO, explained that the USO's territory includes nine military bases and more than 20 National Guard armories and Reserve readiness centers."The USO's never closed," he said.Besides offering day to day support, the USO engages in special projects.As an example, it is celebrating Christmas in July by sending stockings with DVDs, CDs, beef jerky and Sudoku puzzles to overseas troops.In addition, the organization teamed with Farnese to collect soccer balls for soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and the youths of both countries.Also, the initiative provided phone cards for soldiers. Brooks was touched by an e-mail he received from a member of the Tennessee National Guard, thanking the organization for allowing him to be able to talk to his daughter on the day she graduated from kindergarten."That was from a phone card from South Broad Street," he said.Liberty USO has a staff of six that serves all of Pennsylvania, along with New Jersey from Trenton to Cape May. There are 300 volunteers who donated 35,000 hours in 2010, keeping the airport location open well beyond the typical 9-to-5 time.Brooks stressed that the USO is a non-profit agency that relies on donations from the public and grateful VFW and American Legion posts."We don't receive one dollar from the federal government," he said. ••Reporter Tom Waring can be reached at 215-354-3034 or firstname.lastname@example.com

well, I fucked up. oh well, what if you did the opposite? will the sprouts still pop up or should i start all over?
Hey guys, I drew up a quick diagram of the proper way to plant seeds. Cannabis must and always does make an anchor with the tap root to lift up the heavy leaves above ground. If you plant the seed with the tap root facing down it has to do 2 loops to make an anchor. Both ways will work but to put less stress on the seed better to plant it with the root up.
Edit: I noticed I never made the red area I intended, any who it's the bend in green root the first image.

Ive planted seeds every which a way..Usually the seed either pops or it doesnt...i put point down,1/2" at most into rockwool cube or seed starting mix..high humidity and dont let your stuff dry out. Stony,dont put that much thought into it. Youll be fine
thanks for the advice! they turned out fine.

i might be mr rollitup in drag............
Jpowers, your enthusiasm is astonishing, but your claims aren't exactly right.
The marijuana seed is advanced enough to get over this issue. What you've posted a solution for, isn't a problem.
seeds in nature have a mechanism to grow. If the marijuana species didn't have this amazing trait to grow whichever way a seed lands, the marijuana plant wouldn't exist anymore.

Messa Review
Chef Aviv Moshe serves traditional dishes like the shredded-wheat type of pastry called kadaif, but his method of preparation is in a class of its own. This Mediterranean–Middle Eastern haute cuisine is enlivened with French and Italian touches. White is the dominant color in the lavish dining room, with marble floors and tented ceiling lamps on which video art is projected. A long, central table with stylish high-back chairs is the room's centerpiece, perfect for mingling with fellow diners while the attentive staff serves such dishes as seared red tuna over an eggplant-and-goat-cheese roll with pomegranate dressing or sea bass with shallot ravioli. Adjacent to the restaurant is the bar, a much more chaotic affair done up in stark black.

Indicators for Complex Innovation Systems
Innovation systems are complex systems that can exhibit scaling and emergent properties. Predictable and measurable scaling correlations exist between measures commonly used to characterize innovation systems and national economies. This paper examines scaling relationships between GERD & GDP and between GDP & population and uses them to construct scale-independent indicators of the European and Canadian innovation systems. It discusses the theory and practice of building scale- independent indicators and scale-independent models. The theory is based on knowledge gathered from the study of complex systems. The practice is illustrated using OECD and Statistics Canada data commonly used to construct conventional indicators.Download Info

iBet: Spurs could be the handicap bet, with or without Bale
Premier League Handicap Betting
Back Spurs with a +16 start at 14/1
In this market the bookmakers give teams varying starts based on their assessment of how many points they will accumulate over the whole season, and they all go off at a similar price, usually about the 16/1 mark. So if you can find a team that is going to out-perform the handicap given to them, you have a very good chance of picking up at a big price.
Having said that, last season it would have paid to keep things simple. Manchester United were given just a two point start (Manchester City started off scratch) and that gave them 91 points to win the handicap. After that it was very close indeed with West Ham and Swansea, who were both given a start of +42, finishing three points behind on 88 points, and Everton, Norwich, Spurs, West Brom, Southampton and Arsenal all finishing within three points of that. Spurs are a team on the up and last year's league tally of 72 points was a Premier League record for the North Londoners.
Of course Gareth Bale's goals will be missed if he goes to Real Madrid. But they are continuing to invest heavily. Manager Andre Villas-Boas was not helped in his new job at the start of last season by chairman Daniel Levy leaving important transfer business until the last minute.
Unsurprisingly they got off to a stuttering start before hitting top gear, and it's a sobering thought for Spurs fans that if they had converted one of those early home draws against Norwich or West Brom into three points, they would be playing Champions League football this season. Only champions Manchester United won more games than Tottenham last season and the fact that they are not in the Champions League means that their main focus will be the league, which makes the bet even more tempting.
Nicolas Anelka looks set to provide something of a playmaking roll for West Brom with Shane Long, who also takes the penalties, the focus of the attack. You can get 11/10 that the Frenchman scores less than 7.5 goals over the season (Long only scored eight last season) and that looks interesting.

Author's Note:
Well, because of popular demand that made me feel special, here is the epilogue. I can only hope that I'm doing the characters justice. =)
"Things as They Are"
It's July now.
The heat is absolutely sweltering, and the smells of New York City are in full swing; for better or worse. The sun is just coming up and the complete lack of curtains allows it to shine directly into my eyes. After a certain time, closing them doesn't work anymore. It's too hot to sleep, anyway. It's impossible to get a decent night's sleep when you're covered in sweat.
The windows of my apartment are down, but my air conditioner is on sixty degrees and I have the fans going to keep the air from standing still. It's not enough, though, and I kick the blankets off my legs. The movement elicits a frustrated grunt from me and I hear a chuckle from the other side of the bed. I roll over to find Mac already awake, staring at me with clear eyes. He's always up before me, and today is no different. His arms reach out to pull me close and his lips drift over mine.
"Good morning," he tells me and I yawn.
"Not until I get coffee it isn't."
He laughs and runs his fingers through the curly mess of hair on my head. His breath is sweet and mingling with my own; it surprises me to realize that in the few hours I've been asleep I've grown to miss him. I'm smiling as a fingers travels slowly down my face, ending eventually with the curve of my chin. I close my eyes, and I'm considering a late start when he removes his hand and crawls out of my bed. The disappointment is sharp, but I can handle it.
"Come on, get up."
He's standing at the end of the bed, reaching for his shirt. My eyes travel appreciatively over his broad chest and the muscles in his abdomen, my fingertips tingling the memory of them on my skin. My tongue flicks over my bottom lip on its own accord, and I have absolutely no problem objectifying him for a little while. When my eyes finally go back to his face, he's eyeing me.
"I know that look," he says suspiciously. "And the answer is no. Get up."
"Come back to bed, Taylor," I suggest and let the sheet slide a little farther down my bare shoulder. I'm playing hardball, and we both know it. Aware of the fact that I have a serious advantage, I use it. "It's only seven o'clock. We still have plenty of time."
I watch the muscles in his jaw flex and I'm daring to hope that I've won. He walks slowly over to my side of the bed and kneels down to my level, his blue eyes meeting my green ones. Always the scientist, he's considering his options and weighing the benefits versus the potential consequences. I wonder the conclusion he's reached.
"How much time?" he asks and his voice is low. I'm winning.
I run my fingers through his hair, scraping my nails lightly along his scalp. The shiver it causes doesn't go unnoticed. It's a low blow, but I'm okay with it. I like winning, especially when he's the prize.
"We can make time."
Without another word, he stands up to scoop me off the bed. His mouth presses hard against mine and my arms fly around his neck. I grip for dear life, knowing that it's exactly what's at stake when blood starts roaring like thunder in my ears. Mac Taylor, I've found, wakes me up a lot faster than a cup of coffee ever could. Every cell in my body is vibrantly alive and humming in anticipation. Every time with him is like this, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's not until my bare feet feel the cold tile of the bathroom floor that I realize where I am. Unsteady legs barely hold me, but I manage. Forcing my heavy eyes to focus, I watch him open the linen cabinet door and pull a towel down from the shelf. He tosses it at me reaches for the door handle, intending to leave me behind.
"Take a shower," he orders and the mildly satisfied look on his face tells me he thinks he's won something.
"You cheated," I tell him, sounding unintentionally petulant.
"You played dirty."
"You tricked me."
He grins. "I hope you'll forgive me some day."
"And what if I don't?" I ask, narrowing my eyes as I walk toward him. My hands run down his chest and end at the waistband of his sweats. "I'm sensitive, you know. I may never recover."
He raises an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
I nod. "Oh, yeah."
"I'll just have to convince you, then," he says, catching my wrists in his hands. "I wonder how I'll manage to accomplish that."
The look in his eyes leaves no doubt in my mind what he has planned for me. Excitement doesn't even begin to describe the sensations careening around in the pit of my stomach. Surprisingly, the joy of winning a battle gets lost in the excitement of what the victory means. So what do I do? I leave the towel on the floor, close the door behind me, and take a shower just like he asked.
Okay, fine. I might have had a little help.
Do you blame me?
Today is the eighth day of July, and it's the last day of my lease. Most of my belongings are in boxes stacked around the apartment. Almost everything has been packed away already; Mac and I have been working on it for a while now. It's a formality, really; this hasn't been my home in a long time. Everything important to me is over at Mac's—now mine and Mac's—apartment. But now, the smaller parts of my life are the final pieces in the puzzle that's waited years to be finished. It feels incredibly good.
The movers arrive just minutes after we've dressed, and Mac helps them load boxes while I pack the very last of my things and take the frame of my bed apart. The work is tiring and the heat is murderous even with the fans going. I'm a little spoiled, though; I'm not taking furniture down to the truck that's parked outside to move all my belongings. I make a mental note to get the guys something to drink after I've sealed the box I'm working on now.
When we all break for lunch, my kitchen and living room are empty. Everything is in a truck outside, waiting to be delivered to our new home. Mac is tired but smiling, and I'm right there with him. The guys get started again and I realize that leaving this apartment doesn't really mean much to me. It's true, it wasn't mine for long, but having something of my own doesn't compare to the adventure I'm about to embark on by sharing a home with Mac.
The orphan in me smiles, and I know that a home with Mac Taylor is what everything's been leading up to. The anticipation leading up to this day has been a long time coming, and I can't wait to hand my key over and make our living arrangements permanent. Eventually we'll have to make a home elsewhere—his subtle hints about children are getting far less subtle as the days pass—but that will be something to worry about more down the road. He's excited, but I have a little more thinking to do.
We're discussing marriage now, and we haven't arrived at a decision. We know it's going to happen, we just don't know how soon. I've always liked the idea of a fall wedding myself. We've both agreed that it's going to be a small wedding when it happens. The team will probably be there as witnesses, but other than that we haven't written anything in stone. I suppose we will someday, but not today. Today we're moving.
Strong arms circle my waist and I lean back, letting his warm breath shimmer over my neck. A kiss is placed just behind my ear and I can feel myself glow a little. In the five months we've been together, really together, his touch still catches me by surprise if I'm not ready. And here I've lived my life thinking I was reading for anything.
"We have to hurry," I whisper. "My boyfriend could catch us."
He smiles against my skin and laughs.
"We don't want that, do we?" he jokes and holds me a little tighter. My eyes are staring out the window and over the city. It's beautiful, and I'm drawn to it despite never believing I'd stay. Now I can't imagine living anywhere else.
"Having second thoughts?" he asks and I know that his honesty masks his worrying. As if I could ever leave him; that part of our relationship hasn't changed. Every now and then I need to convince him just how much I love him, but I'd do it every day for the rest of my life and never once complain if it meant I'd have him forever.
"Not a single one," I say and it's the truth. As far as major decisions go, this is the easiest one I've ever made. Being with him is so natural now, and that's how I know it's right.

Australian journalist Alan Morison has declared he is prepared to go to jail to defend media freedom in Thailand where defamation laws are being increasingly used to silence criticism.
''This is a clear issue of freedom of media and the military exceeding its role in using an onerous law unjustly,'' says Morison, 66, who edits and publishes Phuketwan, a small but popular news website on the resort island of Phuket.
A defamation lawsuit launched by Thailand's navy against Morison and his colleague Chutima Sidasathian on Christmas Eve is one of about 1600 defamation cases that were initiated in the south-east Asian country in 2013, many of them by powerful interests.
Court records show that of the defamation cases that proceed to trial in Thailand an average of 96 per cent lead to convictions, one of the world's highest rates for the crime.
Morison and Chutima could face a maximum five years' jail and fines if convicted under the Computer Crimes Act.
If convicted on criminal defamation charges they could be jailed for up to two years.
The navy's unprecedented action has prompted criticism from the United Nations, human rights groups, non-government organisations and media outlets and unions both in Thailand and other countries.
The charges relate to a story published in Phuketwan in July 2013 that quoted a Reuters news agency investigation alleging that some members of the Thai military were involved in networks smuggling Muslim Rohingya boat people from Myanmar.
No action has yet been filed against Reuters, a multinational company, although the navy has said charges against two of its reporters are expected to be laid shortly.
Phuketwan has closely followed the plight of the Rohingya who have been described by the UN as among the world's most persecuted people.
Morison says he and Chutima have discussed the possibility of going to jail on the principle of media freedom in what would be a David-and-Goliath fight against the navy which has 70,000 active personnel.
''These are trumped up charges. There is an important principle at stake,'' he says.
''The Rohingya have no spokesperson, no leader, but through Phuketwan's ongoing coverage the torment of these people continues to be revealed.''
Morison, a former senior editor for Melborne's The Age newspaper, sold his apartment in Australia and set-up Phuketwan, which provides local and foreign news coverage for Phuket where an average 20,000 Australians holiday each month.
If Morison is jailed he would be one of the first editors to be incarcerated in the country since the Bangkok Post's Michael Gorman was jailed for three months over defamation proceedings in the early 1980s.
''The Thai navy's lawsuit is a reckless attempt to curtail journalists' reporting on alleged human trafficking by its officers,'' says Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
''Unless the government withdraws the case, its impact will be felt far beyond those reporting on abuses against the Rohingya - and could have a choking effect on all investigative reporting in Thailand,'' Adams says.
David Streckfuss, an American academic who is an expert on Thai laws, told a recent forum at the Foreign Correspondent's Club of Thailand that use of defamation laws ''have become a kind of way of controlling political discourse in Thailand''.
Andrew Drummond, a British investigative reporter in Thailand, said up to 30 foreigners have fled the country following threats of defamation that would involve years of litigation in the courts and thousands of dollars in bail payments.
Many of them had been swindled by criminals making the threats, he said.
Morison and Chutima, a respected Thai journalist, have formally denied the charges that could take years to be heard in Thai courts.

Gourmet Grouper
The Gourmet Grouper was born out of a fruitful business partnership between veteran seafood-market owners John Shuler and Jason Arteaga, along with Christina Monas. The three set out to create a curated supermarket utterly unlike mega-groceries—one that could provide shoppers with a tailored selection of high-quality meats, seafood, and drinks from both distant climes and local markets. "We wanted to build a grocery store that we would like to shop at," John told the Beaches Leader. Along with his childhood friend and business partner, Jason, he procures gourmet goods from his network of local and worldwide farmers, fishers, and food artisans. The result is a smorgasbord of upscale groceries that tempt shoppers with fine cheeses, dry-aged Montana beef, Gulf stone crabs, and Louisiana crawfish. The goods are ideal for planning an elegant dinner party. Seasonal potatoes and vegetables can accompany lobster tails or Chilean sea-bass filets alongside craft beers and fine wines. The market even has artisanal snacking covered with gourmet pickles crafted by local picklesmith Tim Baker, who locks the fresh veggies' flavor into delicious stasis with careful brining and mild witchcraft.

Strands of lights are ubiquitous this time of year - tangled in leafless trees, framing windows, sparkling their way to Santa's sled. They are a beaming reminder of both the warm feelings of the holiday season and the environmental costs of this time of hyper-consumption. In 2003, a paper published by the Department of Energy estimated that holiday lights accounted for 2.22 terawatt-hours of energy use per year in the United States, which roughly equals the energy consumed by 200,000 homes annually. With numbers like that, coal may be the best thing to stuff in your neighbor's twinkling stocking. He may need it.
Fortunately, Christmas lights have gradually switched over to LED in recent years. They are up to 90 percent more efficient than old-fashioned incandescent bulbs. So, should you trash your old holiday blinkers for their LED counterpart?
From an environmental perspective, it's rarely advisable to discard something that works and replace it with an energy-efficient version, since the energy required to produce your new bauble is often greater than the savings it offers once you use it. It wouldn't make sense, for example, to trash a perfectly good sedan to buy a new Toyota Prius: Producing a car takes a lot of energy, and hybrids are only about twice as energy-efficient as conventional engines.
Holiday lights, however, are an exception to the rule. A new strand of LEDs will last four or five decades, possibly the rest of your life, depending on how long you leave them on (and how long you live). They're also less likely to start a fire, which is important when you're wrapping them around a bundle of kindling like a Christmas tree. If you're still harboring an old strand of incandescent lights, the Earth begs you to ditch it and go for the LEDs. (If it's one of those multicolored, flashing strands, your neighbors would probably second the motion.)
Of course, there are more extreme options for electricity grinches. When I was a child, my favorite tree adornment was a string of popcorn. Making such a thread is a fun family activity, and you can sneak a few kernels for yourself in the process.
Is it greener than a strand of lights, though? To make this comparison, we'll have to make some assumptions.
It's hard to say how much embedded energy is in a strand of Christmas lights. However, since the lights will last 40 or 50 years, that embedded energy comes very close to zero on a yearly average. The only energy we have to attribute to the lights is the electricity, which, for a strand of larger LEDs, is 2.5 watts. If you run them four hours per day for 30 days, that means 0.3 kilowatt-hours over the course of a season. According to EPA conversion data, generating that much electricity would emit 0.44 pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents. (A carbon dioxide equivalent is all the greenhouse gases emitted, expressed in terms of the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.)
Now for the popcorn. There's very little popcorn-specific environmental data, but the variety of corn commonly grown for popping is closely related to the corn used in cornmeal. So if we just use generic corn data, our estimates will be close enough.
According to researchers at the University of Massachusetts, cultivating an acre of corn generates approximately 1,700 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. The average farm produces 155 bushels of corn per acre. Since a bushel of shelled corn weighs approximately 56 pounds, there are around 0.2 pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents embedded in a pound of corn by the time it leaves the farm gate. For most foods, transporting, processing and cooking account for slightly more than the amount of greenhouse gas emitted during cultivation and harvest. So let's say a pound of popcorn - which is probably enough to trim a medium-size tree - would result in the production of just under a half-pound of carbon dioxide equivalents.
In other words, from an environmental perspective, there's very little difference between trimming your tree with a pound of popcorn and using a strand of LED lights. That may seem surprising, since natural, farm-raised popcorn just feels greener than manufactured lights.
But details make a difference. Old-fashioned incandescent lights would be far, far worse for the environment: They use 10 times as much electricity as LEDs and don't last nearly as long. You'll also need to store your LEDs properly and turn them off when no one will see them anyway. Of course, if you have a few extra lights, you can't eat the leftovers.

ESPN Box Score • Knickerblogger • Posting and Toasting
After a ragged first half marred by fouls and turnovers (and atrocious Boston defense), the Celtics and Knicks kicked it into gear in the second half. Carmelo Anthony capped a brilliant day with two final-minute free throws to put the Knicks ahead. Kevin Garnett had a baseline jumper to tie on the final possession of the game, but it caught the back of the rim and the Knicks walked off with the win.
Paul Pierce's absence was felt not only as an offensive option on that final play, but as a check on Melo, who hit eight jumpers between 17-25 feet to go along with 15 free throw attempts on his way to 37 points (and 8 rebounds).
Rajon Rondo (31 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals) played like a megastar today. He consistently attacked the basket, took jumpers when he was open, found guys for open layups and created havoc for New York all over the court. It's safe to say that if Rondo can even approach this kind of performance every night, the Celtics will be thrilled at the non-trade for Chris Paul.
The Celtics also got a remarkable debut from Brandon Bass, who stormed the paint to register 20 points and 11 rebounds (including 5 offensive rebounds, each one more encouraging than the last. What kind of Celtics team gets second chance points?).
From a rotation-watch perspective, Avery Bradley saw 9 minutes of ball-hawking duty, Marquis Daniels played 30 minutes and tallied 4 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Sasha Pavlovic played 15 largely ineffective minutes but don't expect a repeat. When Pierce and Mickael Petrius suit up later this week, Pavlovic will find himself nailed to the bench.
That's it for now but Hayes will be back later with the full breakdown of this one.
I thought the headline would be "Too Much Crawford: Knicks 106 Celtics 104"
Yeah, officiating was a little bit inconsistent. Thought the refs were really letting both teams play in the first half, even into the third quarter. A lot of contact in the paint both ways not getting called, then in the fourth quarter Crawford and others started calling the tickytac stuff.
There was definitely contact when Marquis tried to strip Melo … but it was much less contact than stuff that had been going uncalled through the whole game.
Still really liked what I saw from the Celts today. Bass was great, Rondo shooting with confidence. Defensive rotations and open looks for Ray will come with more time on the floor.
Hi celticshub and Ryan, is Janos
I sorry make longer post but cannot stay quite when shit go down. I get all settle and EXCITE xmas day like i tells batman then paul dosent play? What fuck this?

IS SO WRONG ?? what next find out daughter burn suppers? better have celtic win and bad turkey then celtic lose good dinner, but still, now both can be ruin i guess.
Its ok man
We need to keep our chins up and hope Rondo will carry us
On the good news! I gets the HD TVS today. has you guys seen it? RONDOS IS SO CLEAR! I never seen tv like this had before older ones but now HD every detail wider more better! Like days and nights watch clear pass, rebound, shooting. Other channels HD too, not just sports. I seen abc, nbc, all the good ones.
Commercals very loud though. I keep game on 24 but have go down 22 or 21 when car commericals comes on. Why they do this?
I watching LEBRON now HD!! Still ugly guy but rest game clear and TV is sideways now not squares, I see more gamescreen now. Am very bless with the good kids by me nice TV over 37 inch!
merry xmas from janos.
Janos, they make the commercials so loud because they want you to hear them when you walk away when you try to avoid watching them.
Sheed voice: "Both Teams played hard."
you know what.. I honestly was really impressed with todays game. Yeah we didnt win, but lets look at the positives..
Rondo… had a GREAT game. Aggressive, jumpers, assisting.. lets see if he can hang on and do this the whole year (knock on wood)
Ray – I'd like to meet the people that say he's done. Wow.
Garnett – Solid game – too bad he missed that last shot.
BRANDON BASS – WOW. I want to buy a bass jersey after that game. If he isn't the greatest big baby upgrade we could have gotten, I dont know what would have been. It is only one game, but he did everything we could have ever hoped for. LOVED his game today.
We may not have won, but think of it this way. That daniels three in the corner that missed at the end, would have been a paul pierce shot, or a ray allen depending on who was driving the baseline. PP is the key to this team, as much as we think rondo is – it really is paul. I cant remember a game that we won where PP didn't have a significant impact on.
When PP returns, the C's will be a team to be reckoned with. Bass brings it and rondo hits jumpers – look out.
GO MOTHER EFFING CELTICS. GOD its good to have the NBA back.
I totally agree on Bass. He looks like a really solid bench big.
Pretty good athlete, strong enough to play decent post d, good on the boards, good-looking mid-range J. He's not long enough or tall enough to truly bother the 6'10"+ guys we'll face, but considering everything else he's bringing to the table, I think we can all live with that.
Man! Pavlovic was non-existent! He is just plain bad…but it has to be partly mental – no confidence or something.
Why is the DeGama so confident we will see Pierce and Pietrus soon? I recall last year he claimed that the Heat will not catch Boston for the home court with about 20 games to go…they overtook Boston somewhat handily.
Going by the KG 2009 saga, Shaq and JO in 2011, I would expect the Pierce thing to drag out for weeks and hamper him for the season. Pietrus is a nice addition – but what's with his knee? You basically now have 3 hurt small forwards – Green, Pierce, Pietrus.
All in all, Boston is looking at a 0-2 start right in the face…and some suspicious issues with Pierce's heel that could linger.
I'm thinking PP's ankle might bother him for the entire season, i really hope not, but i said it before in the other thread, if that ankle ain't right and you're playing in a condensed scheduled season, that thing could never heal.
And Pietrus' knee makes it worse.
So disappointing
I would like to see the younger guys play but with Pietrus coming and sasha with no offensive game i still think we should release him and sign house or nate just for the ability to create on a final shot
Sasha will be gone before long. I believe Avery is turning into a big bust. They are now going to try him as a shooting guard but the guy can't shoot. I would rather have Nate back even with his short comings. He was hurt last year and never really got into a rythym. Besides the horrible first quarter it was a fun game to watch. Bass looked awesome!
Waive Sasha and bring back kryptonate.
My two favorite stats from today:
Rondo being 9/12 from the line. EXTREMELY important in making sure he's always in attack mode.
Bass with 6 offensive boards. As stated many times before on this board, the Celtics are an average offensive team. Second-chance points are a crucial supplement.
Also Bass, he a had a couple of forceful dunks that I KNOW Baby would have struggled to even lay-in.
Bass gives you the same size in paint that Baby did (and more) plus a reliable midrange jumpshot. Upgrade in every way.
There was quite a bit to be happy with today. Rondo was awesome – he is goIng to have a mOnster season. Wilcox and Dooling especially showed room for improvement. Pavlovic should not play another minute over Quisy. Bass was really good, and I think we can expect that on a regular basis. If Anthony didn't go off like he did, the Cs would have run away with it. On to the next one.
Avery will stay to play spot D. They say he can shoot, but he has yet to show it. Remember he is only 20 (21?). No Nate Robinson under any circumstances. This is a really good bench. Just give it a few games.
I think it`s way too early to come to a conclusion with Avery Bradley if Doc continues to give him time the entire season and he doesn`t improve i`d be more open to the idea of him being a bust but right now he just seems like a rookie finding his way ,Dooling and sasha have not done anything on the other hand even in the preseason they struggled I`m willing to give Dooling time to see is it just unfamiliarity with the offense but Sasha hasn`t done anything for years and with daniels,pietrus,and pierce at the SF position why have him as a bench warmer when you can have another shooter
Happy with the way Rondo played. Wish he had pulled up for a couple more jumpers in the forth to show how confident he is. Ray and KG had solid games. They are professionals and that is what i expected from the two of them. JO didnt look bad. Bass looked great. Wilcox showed potential to be a decent back up this season. Dooling didnt do much but no complaints. Daniels rebounded and passed well but couldnt hit a shot. I was a fan of Bradley going into the season and still want to be but he is not showing me anything, If i start a hot potato league I'm drafting Bradley #1 overall. I would rather see him miss jumpers and try to be agressive instead of throwing the ball away instantly. Sasha Im not sure I have to talk about here. Everyone knows how bad he was. Curious what the C's are seeing that the fans arent with him. On the bright side Pietrus should help a bit and Pierce shouldnt miss too much time. Over all I like what I see after game one. Game two will be a huge test on Tuesday.
First half: terrible
4th quarter…
A: Bradley cost us two crucial turnovers. One was a blocked shot due to a forced, unconfident layup attempt. Why is he still on the team?
B: Foul called on Daniels that was incorrecg and gave Melo his FT's.
That's the game in a nutshell.
In other news, where was the Troy Murhpy that is playing so well for LA tonight???
I think he's just healthy now
We got him at a bad time
Word? Remind me of what his injury was again?
Sunburn from tanning too much
back spasms
I think part of Murphy's problem has to do with Doc. It seems Doc give newcomers and rookies a very short leash to show him something. If they don't impress in the few minutes they get, they get buried on the bench. Then again, when you're in the middle of a playoff run, it's hard to give too many minutes to new guys when every possession seems to be crucial. Double-edge sword.
How terrible was Avery trying to finish though, i mean he has a knack for beating his man on the drive, but once he gets in the paint GOOD LORD it's like he's too scared or he doesn't know what to do or i don't know what, but it's pathetic. I seriously don't know if Avery will ever develop an offensive game. His D is very solid, so i don't know, maybe Doc keeps playing him for that alone.
Atleast we didn't lose like the lakers just did. Oh my…
Speaking of which, Deng did not travel either (as some have said). He got it off just in time.

Derrick Rose with the floater… #MVP
Rondo > Rose #OneGameSampleSize
I have a feeling Rondo wants to show us why we should keep him and will continue playing at a high level…at least that's what im praying for
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the impact from the loss of Jeff Green. The whole rotation is thrown out of whack. Pavovlic was useless out there. Kept thinking the whole game how Green couldve stepped in for Pierce and wouldve been a nice front court with Bass from the bench.
Rondo – Wow. Picked the Knicks apart offensively and defensively. He's playing with a chip on his shoulders.
KG – Still pretty good for the most part. Still too unselfish on the offensive end. He had Toney Douglas on him and passed it back to Rondo. WTH??
Allen – Still the smoothest game in the league.
Pavovlic – Useless. SMH. Sigh
J.O. – Played better than I expected and seems to have some hop back in his step. Hopefully he can give 18-20 solid minutes.
Bass – Incredible finishes around the rim. I expected him to be great addition but he's even surpass that. And without the immaturity.
Daniels – Not too bad tho it might be a bit much to ask for him to give starter mins.
Dooling – Bleh… but at least not mistakes prone.
Wilcox – Too soft. And giving the ball to Melo was just plain silly.
Bradley – He's definitely very good defensively but he's it HORRIBLE offensively. He doesnt even want to be near 10ft of the ball. SMH. Much rather take the rookie mistakes from Etwaun Moore than the lack of confidence from Bradley.
Go Celts!
you are not the only one thinking that,but that is a useless thought Jeff Green is done for the year i kept wondering could he miraculously come back for the playoff and i just finally accepted jeff is doe this year so just wish the best for him with his upcoming surgery and put all our hopes in the people we have available to play .
I got mad when KG didn't take advantage of his mismatches. He had a midget on him for crying out loud. So frustrating
Good to have the NBA Back.
Early report card
Rondo: A+ Glad to see the trade rumors didn't get to him. He's started off like MVP candidate like last year
KG: B Not bad. Got good moments. Needed to do more on that last play….besides stuffing Bill Walker in the face
Ray: A- Show's why he is still going strong. Did need to do more in the last play
Jermaine: C+ Not bad. Good defense. Needs to be on the floor for more than 17 minutes
Sasha: F – Who! I'll take Sasha Vulacic. Bad when you have four fouls, 0 shots, 1 assist, and a technical (though that was not his fault)
Brandon Bass: A Big Baby Who. Wow, this guy was all over the place. Great addition to bench
Daniels: B Steady as always. Should not be taking last shots of game (shouldn't even be put in that position). Playing with great fire….robbed of call vs. Melo
Dooling: C Need more from him, but not too bad
Wilcox: C+ looks like opening night jitters. Can't pass the wrong team. Looked nice around hoop
Bradley: C Work in progress still. Will be better.
Overall, this looked like a third preseason game which, in effect, it was. Unfortunately, NBA treated it that way, too. No way should Joe Crawford be allowed to officiate opening game. There really should be a campaign to get this guy out of the league. A man who determines the games as often as this guy does (not to mention had to be suspended for trying to fight Tim Duncan) has no place in an NBA trying to recover from a lockout. David Stern, try to get something right.

It was also the peak of the Cold War - and the buzzkills at NATO totally harshed Germany's mellow by suggesting that the long-haired look might give the wrong sort of impression to the USSR and the rest of the Eastern bloc.
Permission for the German soldiers to grow their hair long was first given in 1971, but they were also required to wear these particularly fetching hairnets.
Hey, it seems to work for Greggs the Bakers.
In the same year, facial hair was deemed acceptable, after a long period of enforced chin-nakedness.
However - due to concerns about lice, other potential parasitic infections, wasted time and expensive shampooing costs - the long hair experiment was largely dropped by 1972.
Good news for German Army barbers at least.
