Some interesting info found via the Beerleaguer Phillies blog tonight.
- Also, the Phils have contacted Rich Aurilia's agent, presumably for their third base vacancy.
from MLBTradeRumors.com
The Phillies burned a big pile of money when they signed David Bell.
Now, looks like they're gonna continue that trend if they sign Rich Aurilia. I can't imagine he'd come back to us for under 2M, so let me be one of the first to say, c ya Rich.
Only 6 AB's at Philly last year, too small to see how he'd fare in the City of Brotherly Love.
But, if they want the man, they can have him.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
I have never understood all the dissing of Rich Aurilia on this board. The man was probably the Reds' best non-pitcher during the 2006 season. If not the best, then pretty close to it. It makes it hard to understand all the Bye-Rich-don't-let-the-door-hit-you-on-the-way-out comments.
I was Aurillia's biggest critic when he signed with the Reds and started off poorly. I let him have it when they came to Coors.
The guy has pretty much shut me the heck up with his play beyond that point. His attitude could probably use a bit of work, but the guy plays ball.
I just hope that if he goes, we offer arbitration and get that valuable compensation pick.
"I hate to advocate chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone... But they've always worked for me."
-Hunter S. Thompson
I can't speak for all of the 'naysayers' but if some big budget team is going to toss a big contract at Rich, then the Reds are better off parting ways. For 1-year, $2M, fine. But I have a feeling he's going to land a bigger contract from the Phillies, Giants or Yankees.
To explain myself with RA is the whole attitude and perception of himself. This team gave him a chance to resurrect any career he had up to that point, and all I hear is blabbering whining from a supposed "professional" baseball player because he's not getting his way.
Plus, its not feasible to give him what he wants from a Cincinnati standpoint. He's about to fall off a cliff career-wise.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
The 2006 Win Shares figures tell me that Adam Dunn was the Reds' best non-pitcher.
It's all about business and spending wisely in regards to the "Bye bye Rich" feelings. He's old, has limited range and should be on the decline in all aspects of his game, which from a business standpoint says "avoid at all costs". If Rich wants to come earn the 2B job in ST and make 2M doing so, so be it. If some other team is going to throw more than 2M / year at him, then Rich is playing for a different team in 2007.
At this point in time, I hope we do get a compensation pick for RA.
I pretty much agree with this statement. RA has put up some decent numbers for the Reds, but personally I have never been able to get past the comment he made during the 2004 season when he didn't get traded by the trading deadline. Something to the affect that he was "stuck in Cincinnati." Maybe it's not fair, but that comment really fortified my opinion on Aurilia. You just don't say things like that because it's disrespectful to your teammates and the fans of the team you are employed by. I give him credit where credit is due as far as his 2005 season, but I won't be shedding any tears if he doesn't return to the Reds.
If the Phillies were to sign Aurilla The Reds would receive the Phillies first round pick number 19 and a first round supplemental pick.
Well, its semi-related but the Mets resigned Jose Valentin on a 1-yr deal.
So much for Aurilia going to the Big Apple.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
I have a feeling we'd get taken to the cleaners if we offered arbitration to RA. It would come back to bite us in the butt when some arbitrator awarded RA some sorta contract that some other team would most likely offer him via FA.
Now it's a Catch 22. Offer him arbitration and have it bite us, or don't offer and let him walk for free.

'Thanks be to Allah!' A sick-making display of Lib Dem opportunism from Simon Hughes
"Thanks be to Allah!" declared Simon Hughes, the then president of the Liberal Democrats, as he addressed a London conference in 2008, before going on to quote from the Koran: "Then [Allah] will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection…" He added: "Friends, it is our job to teach those who do not have faith of the deep truths of the faith of God's justice and God's presence."
Hughes didn't ask (à la Harold Wilson) "And why do I stress the truths of the Koran?" But, if he had, the correct answer would have been: "Because you're talking to thousands of Muslims."
Ed West blogged yesterday about Hattie Harman's pathetic attempts to suck up to black voters. But that's nothing compared to Hughes's sickening performance at the "Global Justice and Unity event" (GPU), a gathering of 60,000 Muslims in London Docklands.
This YouTube clip shows the whole of Hughes's speech; it's worth watching it all just to see him pressing one button after the other. Go to 3:30 and relish the following segue: "To Allah belongs the kingdoms of the heaven and the earth, and you will see each other humbled to their knees," he says, quoting the Koran – which is why it's so great that Barack Obama is standing for President of the United States, because if elected there'll be "a new attitude from America towards the Islamic world".
Then he calls for Christians and Muslims to "collaborate across this continent" to end "nationalism". That goes down well – hardly surprising, since there are no nations at all in Dar al-Islam, the future worldwide caliphate envisaged by the hardliners at GPU.
Hughes exhibits deep, deep reverence when he mentions "the Prophet Mohammed". I wouldn't have thought that, as a Christian, he would recognise Mohammed as a prophet. Surely all he has in common with the founder of Islam is a complicated private life – but, hey, Muslims have votes, and Simon wants his "sisters and brothers" to cast them. "Every country of the world is your country," he tells them (this they do not need to know, I suspect – that's what Dar al-Islam means) and one day "we want you to be the leaders … to be the Prime Minister".
All the main parties (and Respect, natch) were trawling for votes at GPU. They will be doing so again when the next event is held this autumn. But for a masterclass in political opportunism you really can't beat a Lib Dem, can you?

Video: Frank Ocean – "Novacane"
June 29th, 2011
frank ocean [novacane] from christopher francis ocean on Vimeo.
Frank Ocean stars in the hazy video for his addictive track, "Novacane," featuring impressively minimal facial and mouth movement. Directed by none other than the amazing Nabil Elderkin, the simple video does without too many frills while still remaining visually interesting. Some may know Nabil from his work with Kanye West on a photo book for the famed 'Glow in the Dark' Tour.
Want more Frank? Def Jam will be re-releasing Frank's popular mixtape as the Nostalgia, Ultra EP on July 26th.

DescriptionThe Wizard is another small formation that sits at the foot of the Sorcerer -- actually between the Sorcerer and the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It has a host of obscure climbs on its west face and southern flank, as well as its upper shoulder. The most famous route on it is perhaps Yellow Brick Road (5.9) on the west side. I seem to recall a story about a climber who got his knee irreversibly stuck in a wide crack high on this route. His partner had to rappel back to the ground, run up to the ridge, and head all the way up to the lookout tower for help. Apparently he was able to procure the assistance of a couple other climbers and a large bottle of vegetable oil which provided the needed lubricant to get his partner out of the "jam."

When I first explored Yosemite Valley more than a decade ago, I was enchanted by the waterfalls, the serenity, and the canopy of the Milky Way over my tent. Today, as both a writer and a nature-lover, I'm still electrified by Yosemite and its neighbors, the Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks. Since I live a few hours west of these parks, I escape there whenever I can-and this time, I'm taking you along. Teaming up with me are two acclaimed photographers and fellow Californians. Chris Falkenstein embodies the adventurous spirit of Yosemite; he's lived in the area since 1972 and is an avid rock climber and skier. Robert Holmes, meanwhile, came to northern California at the invitation of photography legend Ansel Adams in the 1970s. -Sara Benson, author Author Sara Benson and photographers Chris Falkenstein and Robert Holmes know the parks inside out and bring you: The places we love to wander, through giant sequoia groves and past soaring waterfalls Recommendations on the best hikes, climbs, fishing, snowshoe treks, and other fun activities Reviews of local-favorite places to stay and eat Stunning full-color photography Detailed, easy-to-use maps Background on the area's rich cultural and natural history Special in-depth sections on rock climbing and the parks' "supersized" sights

March Madness 2012: Who Wins an All-Time Boxing 'Elite 8' Tournament?
By Nedu Obi ,
The madness of March 2012 brings you an All-Time Boxing Elite 8 Tournament featuring some of the best pound-for-pound boxers to have ever graced the welterweight division.
From a hypothetical point of view and some background analysis, eight of those fighters will vie to progress from the quarterfinals, to the semifinals and then the finals itself, where one will be crowned the eventual winner of the Elite 8 tourney.
In the words of Jimmy Lennon Jr.: "Here we go."
Sugar Ray Robinson (173-19-6-2 NC's, 108 KOs) and Sugar Ray Leonard (36-3-1, 25 KOs) both possessed speed, power, sturdy chins as well as great defensive and offensive attributes, none more so than the former.
However, Robinson surpassed Leonard in the aforementioned skill sets.
This bout would be a game of cat and mouse, but due to Robinson's overall ability, he will prevail to score the unanimous decision win.
This matchup brings together arguably two of the greatest welterweights of this or any other era.
Joe "Barbados Demon" Walcott was only 5'1" in height, but what he lacked in height, he more than made up for it with his freaking punching power and off-the-charts stamina.
Henry "Homicide Hank" Armstrong, four inches taller, and akin to Walcott, possessed great stamina and potent punching prowess—an attribute which saw him register 27 straight KOs. Armstrong was also the only fighter in boxing history to simultaneously hold titles in three different weight classes—featherweight, lightweight and welterweight.
Walcott had a penchant for annihilating bigger guys, but against Armstrong, he'll have his work cut out to weather the storm of the relentless pressure cooker that is "Hurricane Henry."
Bombs will be thrown and chins will be tested, until Walcott finally wilts as result of Armstrong's non-stop ferocity.
"The Human Buzzsaw" wins via Round-12 TKO.
The third round features two of boxings great defensive fighters—Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker and Floyd "Money" Mayweather.
During the entirety of his career, Whittaker lost only four times in 46 outings. Though not a power puncher, his constant attacks and defensive savvy was enough to unsettle his opponents, and as result, he was able to take home numerous decision wins.
Conversely, Mayweather was once the heir apparent to Whitaker's par-excellence defense. At present, he's nonpareil in that department, but like Whitaker, isn't the hardest of hitters.
The Master vs. The Student.
This will be a tactical and cagey fight from the opening bell until the last stanza—defensive magnificence at its best.
However, Mayweather's supreme counter-punching skill set will win the day. Money May advances to the semifinals via majority decision.
Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez enter the fourth round of the tourney to settle old scores once and for all.
The Filipino native has fought "Dinamita" three times—all which have ended in controversial decisions—a draw and two victories going Pacquiao's way.
The fourth installment will be near enough, no different, to their trilogy battles—Pacquiao will stomp forward at every occasion with ruthless intentions, only to eat leather from the counterpunching Mexican.
That said, the "Pac-Man" will find the resolve in the latter rounds to end the debate as to who won their previous outings—a devastating left hook to Marquez's chin puts this one to bed by way of 12th-round TKO.
Widely regarded as the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the history of the sweet science, Sugar Ray Robinson was sweetness personified coated with layers of mind-boggling sugar—85-0 in all amateur bouts and compiled a 40-0 record before losing his first professional bout to Jake "The Raging Bull" LaMotta.
Henry "Perpetual Motion" Armstrong was Robinson's contemporary in every sense of the word and to boot, Robinson idolized him.
In 1943, these two fought what was, at the time, equivalent to the Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier's "Fight of the Century."
Robinson prevailed via unanimous decision, and in this rematch with his precision punches and versatile combinations, he'll slowly, but eventually, wear down the ever-present murderous assaults of Armstrong to again take home a unanimous decision win.
The second semifinals pits together boxing's present day pound-for-pound kings in what shall be termed the "The Fight of the Century" bar none.
Forget Cinco de Mayo, forget Floyd Mayweather's jail sentence, forget our heavenly father's divine intervention to prevent Manny Pacquiao's date with destiny, because contracts have been signed and the time for talking is at an end.
The superfight that the boxing world has clamoured for is upon us. In the words of Mills Lane, "Lets' Get It On."
Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs) is one of the best counter-punchers in the business, in addition to possessing his own often impregnable defense.
Meanwhile, the ruthless southpaw from the Philippines has an impressive record of 55-3-2, 39 KOs. Furthermore, his brutal power, runaway-train and in-your-face, all-night game plan has broken many a foe.
"Pac-Man" bursts out of the corner throwing punches with the baddest intentions. Mayweather barely survives the early onslaught—having been severely rocked on several occasions.
For the next four rounds, Money May is knocked from pillar to post, with only his ministry style of defense saving him from ultimate disaster.
In the second half of the fight, Money comes into his own and begins to unleash deft combinations and soul-destroying counter-punches.
Pacquiao's stamina knows no bounds, but the accumulative effects of Mayweather's punches are beginning to take its toll on the now weary Filipino native.
The 12th and final round sees both combatants take centre stage—the customary touch of gloves follows, and it's on.
Pacquiao now needs a knockout to progress to the finals, and as a result, goes head hunting but to no avail. The wily Mayweather defensively sound as always slowly retreats from the oncoming fire, and in one fell swoop, unleashes a check-hook which sends Pacquiao to the canvas.
He beats the count, but Mayweather smelling blood goes in for the finish, and with Pacquiao unable to defend himself, referee Richard Cortez is left with little option than to call a halt to proceedings at the 1:55 mark.
Sugar Ray Robinson (175-19-6, 108 KOs) and Floyd Mayweather (44-0, 27 KOs) are on a collision course for the bragging rights of boxing's pound-for-pound crown.
There's not much in it for either fighter as Robinson's offense is being nullified by Mayweather's defenses.
Mayweather begins to open up in the second half of the bout with a more aggressive style, but encounters several punches for every one he lands.
By the 12th and final round, it's become apparent that Robinson's mercurial rhythm and razor-like blows are beginning to bother Mayweather, so much so, that the five-division titlist back peddles in view of landing the "45."
Big mistake, as Robinson, like poetry in motion, delivers his masterpiece—the "perfect punch"—to send Mayweather sprawling to the canvass.
Money's sturdy chin and the sound of the bell are the only things that save him from a certain knockout.
The G.O.A.T reigns supreme via unanimous decision.

Maintenance needs to improve their performance A guest from Carencro, LA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in October, 2013 I accidentally forgot my key and was locked out of my room one night a asked maintenance to come unlock the door and was told that it would cost me $90. I told them that I pay a high enough premium for this room and it's outrageous for them to charge that and I refuse to pay it. I ended up having to scale the balcony of the neighbors condo in order to get into my room to unlock the door. If we would have waited for maintenance to show up we would still be out there.

HoopsHype Nick Young rumors
NBA Communications: LAL's Young Suspended one game w/o pay; Suns' Len Fined $15k, Marcus Morris Fined $25k for incident last night. http://www.nba.com/video/channels/originals/2014/01/16/bbops-lal-at-phx-altercation.nba/index.html Twitter
While Morris went off for 24 points, seven boards and four assists to make up for his early exit a game prior, Young got whacked in the face by Suns rookie Alex Len. Then, he lost his cool. Young stood up and found himself in a shoving match with several Suns, including Len and the Morris twins. When Goran Dragic tried to move Young away from the Phoenix players, Swaggy P got a little too close to the swagger of Muhammad Ali — at least for the game of basketball. "I got caught up in the moment like anyone would," Young said. "It was a tough foul. What I'm mad about is it was one on five, I felt like, and if somebody would have gotten in the middle, it wouldn't have escalated that much. "I feel bad for Dragic," he added. "He was the last person right there and I didn't throw I punch. I was trying to shove people out of the way. I didn't try to push Dragic, he's my guy. I feel bad for that." Valley of the Suns
"What I'm mad about is just that it was 1-on-5. If somebody would have got in the middle it wouldn't have escalated that much." "…I'm very frustrated…but it's basketball, you know?" beyondthebuzzer.com
Asked after the game about his teammates' reaction, Kendall Marshall gave a quote that by this moment has already made its rounds within the Los Angeles media. "I think Nick kind of saw what he wanted to see at the time," Marshall said. "Obviously, like I said, you got to understand we got seven guys, so maybe at that point in time you just got to chill out." Valley of the Suns
"I went up for the ball," Len said. "I didn't mean to hit him in the face. Hard foul. I wanted to block him but I was a little late so I was about to foul him. But I didn't mean to hit him in the face. I knew he was going to do that (retaliate) because I knocked him down on the floor. He had to get back. I respect that." On replay, it seems clear that Len was not aiming for Young's head because he is looking up at the arena ceiling prior to bringing his arms down. Arizona Republic
Kevin Ding: Nick Young just "liked" this photo on Instagram mocking Kendall Marshall for not having Young's back tonight: instagram.com/p/jOHz_Th15F/ Twitter @KevinDing
Nick Young lost his mind in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' Wednesday game against the Phoenix Suns. First, he drew a hard foul from Suns center Alex Len on this drive to the basket. Young retaliated with a shove against Len. From there, things escalated and Young threw a punch at Suns point guard Goran Dragic. After an extensive video review, Young and Len were both ejected from the game. Young will likely see a fine and could even get suspended for the punch of Dragic. For The Win
Jodie Meeks hit six 3-pointers while scoring a season-high 26 points in injury-plagued Los Angeles' fifth straight defeat. Nick Young scored 28 points, but the Lakers have lost 11 of 12 heading into a punishing seven-game trip starting Wednesday in Phoenix. "This is hard," said Young, who missed a potential tying 3-pointer with 10 seconds left. "We're losing, and we're losing players daily. It's frustrating, but we've still got to get up and play basketball. Nobody wants to get embarrassed. You've got to still take pride in that Lakers uniform." ESPN.com
That's caused the Lakers to look noticeably frustrated lately, but Young posted a picture of himself wearing a Magic Johnson jersey and asked for patience from a restless fan base. "We're still the Lakers and will come out and fight each night. We'l turn things around," Young said. "Stick with it. It's like relationships. Not everything is perfect in a relationship. Sometimes my girl's getting on my nerves and I won't leave her when she's not cooking me a nice meal." Los Angeles Daily News
"It's hard to be a Lakers fan, especially to see a game like the last one we played. It's tough," Young said before practice Monday. "We're still the Lakers. We'll still go out and fight each night and try to turn things around.'' On Friday, the Lakers were demolished by the Clippers, 123-87. "You don't want to feel that again. That was embarrassing," Young said. "I didn't want to show my face no more." Los Angeles Times
MT: Mike D'Antoni has raved about Nick Young's play this season, and his teammates love him. Has he exceeded your expectations, and how might his play impact the market for him since he has a player option for next season? Kupchak: He's been great. Where it ends up remains to be seen. But I would credit his agent (Mark Bartelstein). I'm almost positive Nick had more lucrative offers. But what the agent did was look around the league for the spot he thought the kid could have a good year. Playing time, style of play, etc. … sometimes it can be a negative going back to your hometown, but he'd been through that with the Clippers. The agent, whom I spoke to for a long time about this, had to get to that place. Nick wanted to be here, and understandably, players and agents need to look at the dollars. There were more lucrative offers, but our roster provided ample playing time and the style of play fit, and Nick and his family bought into it. Going forward, there are a number of things to determine. Who knows. Money is important to Nick as to all players, but you can watch him play and he just loves to play. Some guys treat it as a job, but Nick loves to play. He has fun and basketball is a big part of who it is. Whatever he decides to do with his opt out … we'd certainly like to see him be a Laker for a long time. NBA.com
For Gilbert Arenas, who decided to post a very serious looking first selfie on his Instagram account on Thursday, it resulted in Nick Young berating him publicly. Arenas later deleted the photo, perhaps because Swaggy P, a former teammate, decided to type things (we think jokingly) like "U no you ugly when u nobody said u look cute in any of these comment" and "First and last selfie lol." And of course the ultimate: "Look just like ice age". For The Win
Yet, Lakers forward Nick Young suggested the ongoing uncertainty contributed to the team's 137-115 loss Sunday to the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center. "I love Nick to death, but we can't have excuses," D'Antoni said. "What affects Pau shouldn't affect anyone. That can't happen. Everybody has to hone in and do their job. It's too important what we're doing. We can't let anything affect us." Los Angeles Daily News
Reporters had many Kobe Bryant questions before last night's Los Angeles Lakers-Utah Jazz game. Luckily Nick Young was there to answer them. Swaggy P's impersonation won't exactly make Jay Pharoah worry about his job stability, but it had its stellar moments — like when he mocked the over-the-top video created for Bryant's return in December. The Big Lead
Reporters covering the Los Angeles Lakers thought they were going to get to speak to the Black Mamba before Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. It did not come to pass, but they got something even better: The Swag Mamba, Nick Young, filling in for the injured Kobe Bryant. For The Win
Young has exceeded the Lakers' expectations "by far ... not even close," Coach Mike D'Antoni said Tuesday. But in typical hard-luck Lakers fashion these days, Young can opt out of his contract in June by declining a relatively low player option of $1.2 million. The average NBA salary is about $5.5 million. "I'm trying not to think so far ahead. It's only Game 32," Young said. "If we keep losing, we might all fall back into the same thing. We're all fighting and that's all I can do right now is stay focused on the court." Los Angeles Times
Mark Medina: Nick Young: "I don't feel we get the proper respect that everybody else gets when it comes to how things turn out there on the court." Twitter
Dave McMenamin: Nick Young: "This game has got to hurt. This game has got to make you want to go out there and kill somebody the next game." Twitter @mcten
Young recently had a stretch of three 4-point plays in four games from Dec. 20-25, something no player had accomplished since Jamal Crawford did it in March 2009 for the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Crawford happens to be the league's all-time leader in the quirky stat. "Well, that's one of our goals," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni deadpanned when asked about Young's 4-point feat. ESPN.com

Automakers welcome support for zero-emission vehicles
Thursday - 10/24/2013, 4:40pm  ET
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Automakers are applauding a pledge today by the governors of eight states, to work together to help make the highways more friendly for zero-emission vehicles.
The goal is to create charging stations and other fueling infrastructure that would get 3.3 million of the vehicles on the roads by 2025, to curb greenhouse gas pollution.
Representatives from the eight states gathered today in Sacramento, Calif., to sign an agreement creating a task force that would help bring about those changes. By doing so, state officials hope to boost the market for electric cars, hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.
In addition to California and New York, the states involved are Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Car companies say it's an important step toward getting consumers interested in the technologies. Until now, they've been slow to catch on because of worries about electric car range.
Dan Gage of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers says the goal of 3.3 million vehicles isn't currently achievable -- because without the necessary infrastructure, there isn't enough consumer interest.

Just bought some replacements parts for an aircon on eBay and asked the seller a next day delivery to make sure they wouldnt get damaged on the depot (14KG Compressor and PCB card) They failed to colect on friday, so next colection would be on Tuesday because of the bank Holliday. Waited in Yesterday nothing. Today by 12 I contacted the seller. Package was showing as yet to be colected. The seller called them and they gave him a different consignment number in which the package shows up as delivered and signed with my last number at 13:45. I got contacted the folowing day after spending over 45min on an overpriced phone line. In the end package was delivered to one of the neighbours that comes home like once in a week and signed in my name, no card left and nothing indicating this. Why would you deliver to a neghbour when I was waiting home add day? Was it quicker? You might as well leave it on the street for someone to colect!?
After doing a little search to see if this problem was common, I can only say I am shocked by the ammount of negative reviews on this company!

I really aspire to reach your level of comedic zen. I think this might be my year. Fingers crossed.
But I worked on this act all night. Not even a chortle?
Barbara you are so adorable! And you have very very nice teeth.
Ronnie, I almost feel obligated to say inappropriate things about your sister now.
Beewbs. Yeah......nice teeths.
I have done inappropriate things to Ronnies sister.
Going to the mall with Vera, was the best mall trip I've ever had.

Ugh, sand = every bikers worst enemy. I was in Mammoth this past weekend and did an endo after I took a switchback a little too fast and stopped immediately in sand that I was unprepared for - front wheel immediately turned to the right and pitched me forward. Luckily no trucks to hit. I hope you feel better.

Check out the top 10 Deron Williams plays of the 2012-13 season.
deron williams highlights
Nate Robinson, who's been a thorn in Brooklyn's side all series, jumps into Deron Williams as Williams shoots a 3, committing a foul as Williams hits the floor and buries the jumper. Williams made the free throw to complete the four-point play.
Williams finished the first half with 14 points and eight assists without turning the ball over.
As Beckley Mason eloquently put it earlier this series:
Deron Williams' play is making me suspect that not having crippling pain in your ankles may improve performance.
— Beckley Mason (@BeckleyMason) April 11, 2013
Brooklyn Nets guard Deron Williams hasn't had the greatest success dunking this season -- he only put down his first dunk of the season less than two weeks ago. His second dunk didn't take nearly as long to come, putting one down in the first quarter against the Toronto Raptors today (April 14th). Watch:
Reader Tomer requested that we put this video up, and how could we resist? Brooklyn Nets guard Deron Williams finished Saturday night's 105-96 victory with a game-high 32 points on 11-18 shooting from the field, and none of those shots were more important -- or more delicately balanced on the rim --than this turnaround jumper to put the Nets up 3 with 1:19 left.
It's been a running theme of the season: even as the platelet-rich plasma therapy and detoxifying juice cleanse over the All-Star Break reinvigorated his game, Deron Williams had still yet to dunk all season. No more:... MORE →
On Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks, the Brooklyn Nets had one of their worst seven-minute stretches of the season, allowing the Hawks to turn what was anybody's game into an easy blowout victory. Wednesday night, the Nets did the opposite -- they took a close game for their own, mostly on the back of Deron Williams playing like one of the best players in basketball. Williams hit midrange jumpers galore, attacked the basket, and finished the fourth quarter with a loud 13 points on 6-11 shooting to lead the Nets to a 28-19 quarter and a 113-96 victory.
Williams finished with 31 points on the night on 13-25 shooting, adding six assists and one Mark Cuban Struggle Face.
During last night's Brooklyn Nets blowout of the Detroit Pistons, as Deron Williams completed yet another superstar-esque performance since the All-Star break, WFAN radio host and Nets fan/season ticket holder Evan Roberts asked on Twitter: "Who is the dude wearing the number 8 Net jersey?"
It's been that kind of tenure with the Nets for Williams, who's struggled to find his shooting touch and explosiveness in the two years since moving to New Jersey/Brooklyn/living in Manhattan from Utah. But after his third cortisone shots, platelet-rich plasma therapy treatment, and a three-day detoxifying juice cleanse over the All-Star break, Williams has looked like a new/old player -- attacking the rim with abandon, hitting open shots, and featuring his lethal crossover a few times per game.
Monday night, Williams finished with 31 points on 10-18 shooting from the field. Here's a few of his best moments.
BONUS: Williams still hasn't dunked this season -- though he's getting closer:

Celtics Life:
Paul Pierce is just awesome at life. Not only is the guy one of the greatest Celtics of all time, but now he is also helping out his fellow Celtic fans in the love department. "Pierce tweeted his gift suggestion, a "Celeb Call" from none other than himself."
Valentines Day is an awkward holiday. Guys feel a lot of pressure to go all out because those are the expectations that have been set by the world/Hallmark. Girls probably worry about there man screwing up, or that the gift they receivereflects how their man feels(it doesn't we just are clueless).
The reality is, it is what happens between Valentines Day and Christmas that really shows a true "good" relationship. What you give a girl on a random Wednesday in July means more than a Christmas or Valentines Day gift. Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I do watch a lot of Romance movies.
So, would you want Pierce to call your Valentine? What would you want him to say to him/her? My ideal Valenti...

You may soon need a signature to vote early in Iowa.
Secretary of State Matt Schultz is considering a signature verification system to ensure voters are who they say they are. He says it's a concern, since nearly half of all voters voted early or by absentee ballot in this election.
A plan could be presented before the legislative session ends in January.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Just received our wedding invitation and it looks amazing!! the paper quality is great, design looks lovely, and printing/delivery was so fast Thank you so much!! would highly recommend!!"
"I absolutely Loved this invitation! It totally set the tone for my wedding. I ordered them with the pearl shimmer which made them look that much more beautiful! Customer service was also great! I had an error on the rsvp labels and luckily they have live chat after hours, and was able to speak with someone who helped me immediately and shipped out new envelopes the next day. I would highly recommend this company, they are wonderful!!"
"We used the same colors for this card as our wedding colors, silver grey & beige/white. The design is perfect in these tones and matched our wedding perfectly. I only had to change the text in our language and changed the fonts to our style. The quality of the paper is what I prefered, a little bit thicker and not flat. Makes it look more classy."
"I love this card. It is elegant without being too old timey. They made my color suggestions really quickly (coral and a grey-navy), including changes to the color of the text and the back. Amazing service! My only suggestions for improvement are: 1) The 5 x 7 card is actually a little shorter in both height and width (I think .2 inches), so it won't be completely flush when lined up against other products that are actually 5 x 7. 2) WIsh they had options for different colored / quality envelopes. I ended up going to paperandmore to order the shimmery envelopes I wanted, with printable text weight paper, which is a little heavier than regular printing paper. It cam out beautifully and matched really well with the weddingpaperdivas invite."
"There aren't enough words to accurately describe how perfect these invitations turned out. They are breathtaking. I customized this to our wedding colors and used pearl shimmer and I'm in love. They designer called me to discuss every detail and was very available and helpful. I'm so impressed with the service I received during the entire process!!! From the instant chat questions to the designer, it was incredible. And once the proofs were approved we received the invitations in a couple of days. I love this company. They let you do whatever you ask to make your order perfect."
