I was looking forward to Sunday's Cavs-Lakers nationally televised match up. Unfortunately, the Cavs decided to not show up.
They played as poor a game Sunday (or at least as poor a second half) as they have all season and they did so on a day when Kobe Bryant came up with another mysterious ailment and wasn't 100%. Unfortunately Lamar Odom decided Sunday was one of the ten days per season he'd show up motivated and the Cavaliers had no answer for the talented but enigmatic Lakers' forward. Odom went for 28 points and 17 boards, both season highs, in a 101-91 Lakers win. That smashed a Cavaliers home winning streak of 23 games.
The good news is that the Cavalier detractors can come out and get a little bit of sunlight, spout their dogma about LeBron James not being able to come up big in 'big games', decry the need for a trade before the evening ends and then slink back to their pits only to surface again the next time the Cavaliers lay an egg.
Yeah, LeBron was LeAwful on Sunday. But even God took that day off way back when. Yeah, the game could be the difference between home court advantage throughout the playoffs but there are still 30+ games left to play for each team. Take your mouth off the tailpipe, turn off the car and open the garage door. As we've discussed 9 other times in about 50 games, this is a good basketball team that will learn from a loss. And if they don't, and it turns out they aren't as good as the Lakers, well, that will be determined at a later date. Not on February 8th.
Good grief. If I wanted to watch a game where players let minor injuries keep them from playing, where there's no blitzing or going after the quarterback and where the defense may as well as be playing two-hand touch, I'd queue up the DVR and watch the Browns game against Denver.
Programming Note
For those of you who are Browns fans and are in the same relative age group as I'm in (35-45), you might be interested in hitting up the podcast of 'The Cleveland Experience' that aired this past Wednesday. Author Sean Harvey discussed "One Moment Changes Everything: The All-America Story of Don Rogers". Twenty minutes of conversation that discussed a critical juncture in Browns history and, quite frankly, an American family tragedy given the aftermath.
Thanks to Sean for being accommodating and for joining us. Go to Amazon.com and grab that book. You will not be disappointed.
This week we've already booked Tribe beat reporter Jim Ingraham to come in and discuss the Tribe and his thoughts as the Indians head to Goodyear. Join us this Wednesday at 930pm.

UK Area Code Finder
Quick and easy telephone dialling code information
0843 numbers are UK phone numbers beginning with '0843'. This includes those that start 08430, 08431, 08432, 08433, 08434, 08435, 08436, 08437, 08438 and 08439.
In the UK, 0843 numbers and all other numbers beginning '084' are charged at special rates, which are nearly always higher than for calls to normal landline phone numbers.
There are also similar 0844 numbers and 0845 numbers in use.
The cost of calling 0843 numbers varies. Although not officially recognised as 'premium rate', 0843 numbers usually cost more to call than a conventional 01 or 02 landline.
From a BT line, 0843 number call costs are typically up to around 5p per minute. From a mobile phone, the cost of phoning 0843 numbers is commonly as high as 40p per minute.
From a BT landline | Up to 5p/min | Check costs |
From an EE mobile phone | Up to 40p/min | Check costs |
From an O2 mobile phone | Up to 25p/min | Check costs |
From an Orange mobile phone | Up to 40p/min | Check costs |
From a T-mobile mobile phone | Up to 40p/min | Check costs |
From a Three mobile phone | Up to 35p/min | Check costs |
From a Vodafone mobile phone | Up to 35p/min | Check costs |
Costs to nearest penny at November 2013. Some numbers are charged per call, rather than per minute, and extra call set-up costs may be charged. Please confirm with your phone company before calling.
0843 numbers are usually not included in the 'free' bundled minutes in telephone contract deals.
0843 is not an 'area code' and 0843 numbers are not linked to any specific location. Calls to an 0843 number are routed to wherever the number's owner chooses, which can be anywhere in the country or even overseas.
As 0843 numbers numbers usually cost more than a normal phone call, they can be used to generate income for the organisation being called.
Although they can cost up 40p/min to call, the revenue generated for the organisation is likely to be only around 1p/min to 5p/min, with the remainder retained by the telephone companies involved in connecting the call.
Not all businesses using 0843 numbers take a direct income from them; sometimes the income is retained by the telephone company supplying the service. For example, a telephone company may often offer advanced call handling services, queuing, reporting, etc. to the business in return for the revenue they take from incoming calls. Subjectively, this could still be considered as generating income, as the company is receiving enhanced services it would otherwise have to pay the market rate for.

What Makes an Online Black Market?
Onlineblackmarket URLs:
When the original Silk Road discontinued operations in October 2013, online black markets quickly became a hot topic of discussion and debate all over the world. This discussion led to other online black markets other than Silk Road gaining more exposure as media outlets pointed out that even though the infamous Silk Road's legacy was halted, many sites are still operating and many sites are in the works.
Most of these articles and coverage were also written with a negative view of the online black markets and those wondering what the sites are like and what they do were left in the dark. The two most well-known online black markets that are in operation are Black Market Reloaded (http://bmreloaded.com) and Silk Road 2.0 (http://silkroad6ownowfk.onion) and the two most promising up-and-coming online black markets are Pandora (http://pandorajodqp5zrr.onion) and TorMarket (http://tormarkozaegyvco.onion). The sites are all unique, but they all offer everything a proper Tor Network black market should.

To tackle this, the team customised their pipeline to help make the workload all the more manageable. Alex continued saying...
Prime Focus Effects on 'Total Recall'... Part I
If a movie is a massive studio blockbuster, then the Prime Focus World visual effects team have most likely had some involvement in its making.

And of course, every new VFX project comes with its own challenges. Len Wiseman's remake of Total Recall was one such project that allowed the team to flex their creative and technical muscle.

"There had been a tradition that whenever people reached a certain age they just left, because there wee no opportunities," said one of the residents, Patrick Corcoran, who works as assistant to the director of the local library. "That may be shifting. I feel like there is a shift that's occurring."
The other resident, Erica Lucas, came back to Welch to be with family, but is working three jobs and hoping to graduate from Bluefield State College. "College isn't even thought of at first," Lucas said, adding that she hopes that is also changing.
In another segment McMillion showed Wednesday evening, local firefighter Ron Serino describes his frequent calls responding to residents who overdose on drugs, and his pride in volunteering to help his neighbors.
"We get overdoses on a regular basis," Serino says. "We seem to have easy access to pain medication. It's easy for folks to get them, so it's easy for folks to abuse them."
In another, local environmental activist Rob Goodwin is shown trying to help a McDowell County couple that is concerned about impacts from a mining operation near their home. Goodwin, who attended the event, said the residents were like many in that they were "dissatisfied with the government" response to their concerns.
Residents Bob and Linda McKinney attended Wednesday's meeting. Their segment of "Hollow" explains their work running a local food pantry, one of the efforts residents are making to try to help each other deal with the county's hard times. Since filming ended, the facility has expanded and is experimenting with a community garden.
McKinney said she she's more and more households with large numbers of residents, often made up of men and women who are raising their grandchildren or even their great-grandchildren.
"When they come to the food bank, they don't want food. They want toilet paper," she said. "But they're smart and they learn. They can go to the dollar store and get coffee filters, and that's what they use."
Another segment featured 90-year-old educator Ellis Ray Williams, who compared the boom days of McDowell County's coal industry to depressed economy today.
"We just don't have the people anymore, and to get the people back, we're going to need some different industries to employ the people," Williams said.
"We didn't lose the coal, we lost the method of getting the coal out," Williams says, as the segment shows scenes of a large-scale surface mine. "We got machines.
"When mining started, we mined all the coal to fight the wars and all that," he said. "We should have diversified. We deserve that in McDowell County. We paid our dues."
