NBA Power Rankings: Rating the Best Backcourts in the League
By Josh Toyofuku ,
In the NBA, the backcourt dictates the pace and speed of the game and each offensive set. With the faster pace of today's game, a team's backcourt has become more important than ever.
One star player won't cut it to be named the best backcourt in the NBA. You need two players to form a backcourt, so you need two great players to have the premiere duo of guards in the league.
Let's take a look at all of the NBA backcourts, counting down from 30 to number one.
Point Guard - Devin Harris
Shooting Guard - C.J. Miles
Devin Harris (pictured) was once believed to be a potential star, but his career has plateaued. He is one of the better players on the Jazz but is only scoring 12.2 points per game. His assists are also down because of the lack of scorers around him. Harris' Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is 15.7, one usually seen from an above-average player in the league.
At shooting guard, the Jazz have C.J. Miles and Raja Bell who combine for 11.2 points per game in 38.8 minutes.
Point Guard - Darren Collison
Shooting Guard - Paul George
So far in 2012, Paul George has only shown glimpses of the player the Pacers were expecting to show up.
George grew two inches over the summer and they thought it would make a huge difference in his game. Of course, trading for George Hill, another shooting guard, didn't help raise his ceiling as Hill is taking away playing time.
Darren Collison, George and Hill are far from cementing themselves as stars in the league—none average more than 12 points. Collison is possibly the best, as he also averages seven assists. They are, however, very good role players and can help the Pacers fight for a playoff spot in the weak Eastern Conference.
But at the end of the day, the trio of backcourt players just haven't proven themselves.
Point Guard - Deron Williams
"Shooting Guard" - Sundiata Gaines
Deron Williams (pictured) might want to reconsider sticking around for the Nets' move to Brooklyn.
The team is such a mess that it now has another point guard starting alongside him in Sundiata Gaines, just so Gaines can play defense against the man Williams should be guarding. This is all so that Williams doesn't have to play defense and can give his all on offense.
It's kind of working—Williams is averaging 17.3 points and six assists per game. But it leaves them with a rookie—MarShon Brooks—to be the only real shooting guard who is producing, thanks to Anthony Morrow's sudden inability to score.
The Nets need to find a quality player to start alongside Williams or else they will run the All-Star point guard out of town.
Point Guard - Mike Conley
Shooting Guard - O.J. Mayo
When the reason your backcourt is so terrible is because Mike Conley has been in and out of your lineup, that's bad news.
Conley has been hampered by an ankle injury this season and as a result, he has only played in two games. In his stead were rookies Jeremy Pargo and Josh Selby. They didn't do terribly, but they didn't provide the type of depth you would like to see from a playoff team.
At shooting guard, the Grizzlies have O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen. Allen is known for his defensive abilities, so there isn't too much to worry about that he is only averaging 4.5 points per game. However, Mayo is only scoring 6.8 points per game in 25.8 minutes of game time. That leaves him with a 4.6 PER.
Someone needs to help out the backcourt in Memphis.
Point Guard - Steve Nash
Shooting Guard - Jared Dudley
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Steve Nash is still playing well—averaging 10.8 points and eight assists each night—but the team around him is terrible. All of the pieces are very lackluster, including Jared Dudley.
Dudley is only averaging 10.8 points as well but could honestly be replaced with half of the shooting guards in the league and no one would notice.
Nash is the only high-quality player on this team, and even he can't keep them afloat.
Point Guard - D.J. Augustin
Shooting Guard - Gerald Henderson
The good news for the Charlotte Bobcats is that their best three scorers are their point guard, shooting guard and backup point guard, Kemba Walker.
The bad news is that power forward Boris Diaw is leading their team in assists with an average of 6.5 per game.
D.J. Augustin (pictured) is the leading scorer on the team but still averages under 15 points per game. His backup, Kemba Walker, does have a PER of 19.4, but a large part of that that is the fact that his production comes in only 20 minutes a game.
Point Guard - Rodney Stuckey
Shooting Guard - Ben Gordon
The Pistons are stuck with a combo guard running the point, and it isn't helping them.
Rodney Stuckey is currently only averaging .8 points more than rookie backup Brandon Knight in 10 more minutes on the court. Yes, Stuckey has better numbers in rebounding and assists as well, but Knight is only a rookie and could do that with more playing time.
Ben Gordon is the Pistons leading scorer with 18 points per game, but other than scoring, he doesn't do a whole lot. Plus, he is vastly overpaid with a salary over $11 million this season.
Point Guard- Toney Douglas
Shooting Guard- Landry Fields
The Knicks are in a tough position right now. The man they brought in to start at point guard, Baron Davis, is still at least a month away from playing with the team.
Until then, they're running with Toney Douglas who hasn't played too badly—he is averaging 13.8 points and 4.6 assists per game. Landry Fields is the starting shooting guard after a surprising rookie season. He is a good shooter and defender but isn't likely to improve a whole lot more.
Mike Bibby is giving the Knicks close to nothing off of the bench and Iman Shumpert has been hurt, but he can be a real scoring threat when he returns.
Until Davis makes his debut, however, the Knicks will be known solely for their frontcourt.
Point Guard - Kyrie Irving
Shooting Guard - Anthony Parker
Don't let those two titles fool you—point guard Ramon Sessions and shooting guard Daniel Gibson are both averaging above 20 minutes per game as well.
Cleveland has used all four of those players extensively and has seen pretty good results from it.
Kyrie Irving (pictured) was the top overall pick in last year's draft and is having his fair share of struggles adjusting to the pro game after playing a very abbreviated season at Duke in 2010-11 due to injuries. However, he is still averaging 13.3 points and 5.5 assists per game with a PER above 17. Sessions produces almost identical numbers.
Anthony Parker is a solid defender and gets most of his minutes for his defensive abilities. Gibson is a streaky shooter but has the ability to shoot the lights out and is currently off to the best start of his career.
Point Guard - Ricky Rubio
Shooting Guard - Wesley Johnson
The Minnesota Timberwolves have four guards that all play 20 or more minutes: Ricky Rubio, Luke Ridnour, J.J. Barea and Wesley Johnson.
All of them are fairly average at this point with no PER exceeding 16.7 and dipping as far down as 7.1. However, that could change in the near future as Ricky Rubio is living up to the hype and improving with each game.
Point Guard - John Wall
Shooting Guard - Nick Young
The Washington Wizards have a young backcourt that brings a lot of scoring threats to the table. What it lacks is a shutdown defender.
John Wall (pictured) is a likely candidate to break out and become a superstar in his second season. If he can do that, he will likely develop a defensive game to go along with his slick ball-handling skills.
Nick Young is always able to find a way to score the ball but he is terrible on defense—he averages .20 steals per game.
Behind Young is another second-year talent, Jordan Crawford. The Wizards love how Crawford plays; he is another potentially great scorer after dumping 39 on Miami last season.
Point Guard - Brandon Jennings
Shooting Guard - Stephen Jackson
The Milwaukee Bucks are still waiting for Brandon Jennings to have his breakout season following his great rookie year, and they're hoping that it comes in 2012.
So far, he is averaging 20 points per game but only 4.8 assists and .25 steals per game. We all know he can shoot the ball but it's the other facets of the point guard position that he needs work with.
Stephen Jackson is just a shell of his former self, only scoring 11.5 points per game. He also has an appalling 7.5 PER.
Pair Jennings with 2006-07 Jackson and you've got a special duo. But in 2012, it's pretty ordinary.
Point Guard - Jameer Nelson
Shooting Guard - Jason Richardson
Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson are not the players they once were, scoring only 6.6 and 8.8 points per game, respectively. Nelson is still averaging 5.2 assists per game, but the rest of his game is lacking.
J.J. Reddick, the sixth man, can shoot like no other. This season he is averaging 13.8 points per game and has an insane PER of 22.31. His play should vault him into the starting lineup shortly—a shot in the arm that the Orlando backcourt needs.
Point Guard - Jose Calderon
Shooting Guard - DeMar DeRozan
The Toronto Raptors have a quality team out on the court this year and the backcourt has a lot to do with it.
Jose Calderon is as steady as ever, averaging 12 points and 9.8 assists per game. He also has the sixth-best PER for point guards, 22.13.
DeMar DeRozan is showing us the type of player he can become once he is fully developed. He only spent one season at USC and has been raw his entire NBA career but is now averaging 17.2 points per game thanks to his developing jump shot. Once he decides to play as hard on defense as he does on offense, he can be a great player.
Point Guard - Jeff Teague
Shooting Guard - Joe Johnson
Jeff Teague has surprisingly become a pretty solid point guard as his career has gone on—he's averaging 13.4 points and 4.8 assists per game while holding the eighth-best PER for point guards.
Joe Johnson is his usual self, averaging 17.2 points per game all while shooting the ball too much and not playing very good defense.
Johnson won't be improving anytime soon, but if Teague continues to grow, they can be a better backcourt duo.
Point Guard - Jarrett Jack
Shooting Guard - Eric Gordon
Replacing Chris Paul is a very daunting task but Jarrett Jack and Eric Gordon (pictured) are doing an admirable job trying to do so.
Jack is averaging eight assists per game to go along with 16.5 points. He will likely cool off, but Eric Gordon will keep him from cooling off too much.
Gordon is one of the best shooting guards in the league and now after being traded by the Los Angeles Clippers has even more motivation to have a breakout year. When healthy, he can score 20 points per game and average around four rebounds and three assists per game, if not more.
Point Guard - Raymond Felton
Shooting Guard - Wesley Matthews
Like multiple other teams on this list, the Trail Blazers possess three men who are big contributors to their backcourt.
At point guard, the Blazers start Raymond Felton, who leads the team with seven assists per game.
However, it's at shooting guard where they have the most depth. Wesley Matthews (pictured) starts for Portland and averages 15.3 points and five rebounds per game. Jamal Crawford averages 15.8 points per game. Crawford is one of the game's best sixth men and won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2010.
Point Guard - Jason Kidd
Shooting Guard - Jason Terry
What's holding back the Mavericks from having a better backcourt?
Their age.
Jason Kidd and Jason Terry, the players who receive the most playing time at either guard position are still putting up good numbers—six points and five assists per game for Kidd and 14.5 points and four assists per game for Terry.
Behind them are Delonte West and Vince Carter. While both are pretty good backups, neither is going to wow you with any of their plays or stats.
But hey, Kidd and Terry did just help lead Dallas to a championship.
Point Guard - Ty Lawson
Shooting Guard - Arron Afflalo
Ty Lawson (pictured) is quickly becoming a very good point guard for the Denver Nuggets.
Don't believe me? He's currently the third-best point guard in terms of PER and leads the team with 18.2 points and 2.5 steals per game.
At shooting guard, the Nuggets have Arron Afflalo, one of the best perimeter defenders in the game. Afflalo is also a .403 percent three-point shooter in his career.
What really makes them such a good backcourt is Andre Miller coming off of the bench for Denver. He brings veteran leadership to go along with his team-leading 6.7 assists per game.
Point Guard - Derek Fisher
Shooting Guard - Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant has been one of the best players in the NBA for over a decade now. Although his recent wrist injury is hurting him more than it would have five years ago, he still insists on being a volume shooter. It is hurting the Lakers.
Derek Fisher was a great point guard for former head coach Phil Jackson's triangle offense, but now he is far too old to play against guards like Chris Paul and Deron Williams.
Because of those reasons, the Lakers' backcourt is not as good as it once was. Kobe still has a PER of 20.07 but Fisher has one of 7.92—53rd out of all the point guards in the league. Backup point guard Steve Blake has a PER of 12.6 and is a very streaky shooter.
Point Guard - Jrue Holiday
Point Guard - Lou Williams
The Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in a unique situation—it's their point guard and backup point guard that give them such an exciting backcourt.
Starter Jrue Holiday (pictured) is averaging 15.5 points per game and his backup, Lou Williams is leading the team with 20.3 points per game.
Their abilities give Philadelphia incredible confidence in its point guard at any given moment in the game, whether Holiday or Williams is in.
Point Guard - Kyle Lowry
Shooting Guard - Kevin Martin
The Houston Rockets have a pretty terrible team put together—they have three former lottery picks who are regarded as busts. They do, however, have a pretty good backcourt.
Kyle Lowry (pictured) is set to have a mini-breakout year and is already averaging a double-double with 13.3 points per game and a league-leading 11.5 assists per game. He is also pulling down 6.3 rebounds per game and has the second-highest PER for point guards, 25.80.
Kevin Martin is an elite scorer and currently ranks eighth in PER at the shooting guard position. If he could only play some defense, this duo would be much more feared.
Point Guard - Tyreke Evans
Shooting Guard - Marcus Thornton
The Sacramento Kings are another team with a young and talented backcourt.
Tyreke Evans was the 2009-2010 Rookie of the Year and has the potential to be an All Star. At shooting guard, Marcus Thornton is a great scorer averaging 20 points per game this season and has a top-five PER.
They both can be great players, but they do need to work on their defense. Once Evans starts to rack up more assists, he will make the Kings more dangerous.
Point Guard - Mario Chalmers
Shooting Guard - Dwyane Wade
Mario Chalmers is up there with Los Angeles Laker Derek Fisher as one of the worst point guards on an elite team, hands down. He only averages 8.8 points per game and four assists per game.
But his running mate, Dwyane Wade, is one of the best players today—easily the best shooting guard in the league. Wade is only the 15th-ranked shooting guard in terms of PER, 18.37, but don't expect him to stay that low for long. Small forward LeBron James is dominating everyone right now, but once he settles down, Wade will return to form.
Point Guard - Derrick Rose
Shooting Guard - Richard Hamilton
Much like the Miami Heat, the Bulls are carried by a one-man backcourt. But in Chicago, it's their point guard, the 2011 MVP Derrick Rose (pictured) doing the work.
Rose is a top-five player in the league, and he is showing it in Chicago. While he isn't likely to put up numbers like he did last year—25 points and 7.7 assists per game—he is still going to play spectacular basketball in 2012.
He also has an upgrade at shooting guard this year in Richard Hamilton. Hamilton is definitely slowing down, but he is a better player than Keith Bogans and Ronnie Brewer.
Point Guard - Stephen Curry
Shooting Guard - Monta Ellis
Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis are two of the NBA's best scorers, and together with the Warriors, they are quite the handful. Curry is only averaging 14 points per game, but he has been battling an ankle injury. Ellis is averaging 20.3 points and 8.5 assists per game.
What they have lacked on the defensive end at the start of their careers, it's slowly being made up for thanks to the arrival of head coach Marc Jackson. If either one can ever become an elite defender, they could become a more respected backcourt tandem.
Point Guard - Tony Parker
Shooting Guard - Manu Ginobili
People tend to forget just how good the San Antonio Spurs are. With power forward Tim Duncan approaching the end of his career, much more of the team's production has to come from Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
And they are getting the job done.
Ginobili leads the Spurs in scoring with 17.4 points per game and is third in the entire NBA in PER. Parker is averaging seven assists and is scoring 13.2 points per game this year.
If they can both stay healthy down the stretch, they may be able to lead the Spurs on one last title run.
Point Guard - Chris Paul
Shooting Guard - Chauncey Billups
In one of the shortest NBA offseasons in league history, the Clippers had quite possibly their best offseason in franchise history.
In just a matter of days, the Clippers picked up both Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups, bringing in veteran leadership and a killer instinct from both.
With Billups playing off the ball for the first time in his career, he is still averaging 16 points per game and has a PER of 16.21. Paul continues to be the elite point guard he has always been and has a PER of 20.89 while averaging 15.5 points and 9.8 assists per game.
Point Guard - Russell Westbrook
Shooting Guard - James Harden
The Oklahoma City Thunder have a great backcourt—one of the best in the NBA today. Russell Westbrook (pictured) and James Harden are a deadly scoring duo who combine for 32.3 points per game. They also boast a combined 36.8 PER.
Harden is second on the team in PER and doesn't even start—the man in front of him is Thabo Sefolosha who has a PER of 13.5 and plays great defense. Both shooting guards are also in the top 10 true shooting percentage for shooting guards.
Point Guard- Rajon Rondo
Shooting Guard- Ray Allen
When at the top of their respective games, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen are two of the best players in the NBA, regardless of position.
Both are in the top five in terms of PER for their position, each having a PER of at least 22.15. Rondo and Allen both also have some of the top value added stats in the league, 36.5 and 39.8 respectively.
Rondo is also currently has the second-most assists in the league.
They can ball—and they know how to lead a championship-caliber team while doing it.

STAGEfest2014 Application
The first annual STAGEfest at the Loew's was a success thanks to the talent of the artists and production companies involved, a very hard-working tech crew that oversaw productions in six different performance spaces, and our dedicated volunteer house staff that kept the doors open and things running smoothly for more than 25 hours over three days! It was also a success thanks to the more then 600 patrons who bought tickets -- far more than we had dared hope for a first-time event! Thank you all.
STAGEfest succeeded in being a fun and exciting showcase of some of our area's best theatrical talent. It was energized by the fact that everything was happening under one roof, but in very different (albeit, all very ornate) spaces throughout the Landmark Loew's.
Adding immeasurably to the atmosphere was the eye-popping display of historical theatrical costumes provided by Leading Lady Costumes.
And the culinary talents of Honey Bakery made the festival's cafe -- in the Grand Lobby -- one of the tastiest places to be in Jersey City.
There's never been anything quite like STAGEfest in Hudson County before. But there will be next year -- when STAGEfest 2014 comes to the Loew's. We'll see you then.

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak will not play in the first two games of the upcoming second-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings.
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock disclosed his decision Monday.
Halak was injured in the second game of the Blues' first-round series against San Jose, leaving with an undisclosed lower-body injury that is believed to be a sprained left ankle he suffered during a collision with teammate Barret Jackman.
St. Louis had the deepest goalie tandem in the NHL this season. Brian Elliott led the NHL with a 1.56 goals-against average, including nine shutouts.
The NHL has not yet announced specific dates for the Blues-Kings series.

Choose from the options below to find your next adventure.
This expedition offers you the most in-depth exploration of the Antarctic Peninsula. Extended time in the region allows you to go beyond the Antarctic Peninsula and venture south of the Antarctic Circle, home to fantastic ice formations and wildlife including the Weddell seal. You'll enjoy more time for communing with penguins and visits to less-frequented landing sites.
Sail aboard the Ocean Diamond, a modern, stable super-yacht and experience Quark's Antarctica. Carrying a maximum of 189 passengers, this outstanding vessel features numerous adventure options plus onboard amenities such as a massage and wellness program and a well-stocked polar library. The Ocean Diamond is staffed with Quark's legendary captains, officers, expedition leaders, and guides. See deck plans here.
You will begin your journey in Ushuaia, a small, but bustling port town at the tip of South America. This Argentinean town is an ideal gateway for you to explore the southern extent of Patagonia while preparing for your adventure ahead. Get active in the mountains or enjoy some hand crafted chocolate at a café in town.
The Beagle Channel sets you on your way as the ship sails in the late afternoon. The channel opens up to the vastness of the Southern Ocean, where your next land sighting will be along the Antarctic Peninsula. Named after the famed ship in which Charles Darwin voyaged, the channel presents many great photo opportunities to capture sea birds hovering overhead.
The waters of the Drake Passage are unpredictable, so hope for clear skies and a calm ocean. You'll have plenty of time to stare out at the sea, get to know your fellow shipmates and chat with your Expedition Team.
Time over these two days will be spent preparing for the exciting days ahead, with numerous educational and informative lectures from your Expedition Team. You'll learn about everything from safety procedures to the history of whaling in Antarctica.
With the Drake Passage left in our wake, we make a final approach to Antarctica. Get your cameras ready, as the continent's coastline will make its first appearance, signaling the start of your adventure in the realm of the Antarctic. You'll see plentiful icebergs floating by and be fixated on the surface of the ocean as curious whales spout and breach before your eyes.
As exciting as it can be from onboard the ship, your true exploration occurs when you disembark and set foot on the great continent. There are several potential landing sites we may visit, including Neko Harbor, Orne Harbor or Paradise Bay. While weather dictates which specific landing sites we can visit, each one presents a new collection of wildlife and natural attractions.
Your days will be busy spotting wildlife and being mesmerized by the beauty of Antarctica. Watching penguins waddling on the beach and listening to the crackling and crumbling sounds of icebergs and glaciers will become your daily entertainment, while kayaking with whales and camping in Antarctica are a couple of optional activities available on selected voyages.
Crossing the Antarctic Circle is an impressive achievement, as most expeditions to the Peninsula do not reach this far south, which is officially noted at 66° 33' S. You and your shipmates will celebrate in style with a well-earned glass of champagne!
Make a toast and take pride in knowing you've made it to a part of the world still visited by very few people.
By now, your knowledge of Adelie, chinstrap and gentoo penguins will be matched by your ability to differentiate between a leopard, fur or Weddell seal. Terms like 'bergy bits' and pancake ice will seem normal too, yet there are still many tales to be told. As you head back towards the Drake, Zodiac excursions will continue to fill your days, while the Expedition Team will help fill in any blanks that remain in your newly acquired knowledge of the Antarctic.
Re-crossing the Drake, Antarctica fades away and you'll be left with a collection of memories to last a lifetime. Excited conversations with your newfound friends will make the time passing the Drake Passage fly by, independent of weather and sea conditions. Your Expedition Team will round up their series of lectures as well, perhaps with a slideshow of some of the great landing sites and wildlife you've visited over the course of your voyage.
Today you'll say goodbye to your Expedition Team and your fellow travelers. You'll disembark in the morning so that you may catch your homeward bound flights.

Planck early results. IX. XMM-Newton follow-up for validation of Planck cluster candidates |
PLANCK Collaboration(s) |
(12/2011) |
We present the XMM-Newton follow-up for validation of Planck cluster candidates. Twenty-five candidates have been observed to date using snapshot (~10 ksec) exposures: ten as part of a pilot programme to sample a low range of signal-to-noise ratios (45 candidates. The sensitivity and spatial resolution of XMM-Newton allows unambiguous discrimination between clusters and false candidates. A total of 21 candidates are confirmed as extended X-ray sources. Seventeen are single clusters, the majority of which are found to have highly irregular and disturbed morphologies. The remaining four sources are multiple systems, including the unexpected discovery of a supercluster at z=0.45. For most of the sources we are able to derive a redshift estimate from the X-ray Fe K line (albeit of variable quality). The new clusters span the redshift range 0.09 <~ z <~ 0.54 with a median redshift of z ~ 0.37. A first estimate is made of their X-ray properties including the characteristic size, which is used to improve the SZ Compton parameter estimate. The validation programme has helped to optimise the Planck candidate selection process. It has also provided a preview of the X-ray properties of these newly-discovered clusters, allowing comparison to their SZ properties, and to the X-ray and SZ properties of known clusters observed in the Planck survey. Our results suggest that Planck may have started to reveal a non-negligible population of massive dynamically perturbed objects that is under-represented in X-ray surveys. However, despite their particular properties, these new clusters appear to follow the Ysz-Yx relation established for X-ray selected objects. |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I was searching for a nautical theme for our save the dates, as my fiancé and I are being married at our family lake house. The anchor theme was too cute to pass up. The design team worked with me so I could add our wedding website on the back of the postcard, so it would be neatly printed on the top. Additionally, the paper quality, image resolution and overall look of the card are wonderful. I have used Wedding Paper Divas for my thank you cards, my return addresses, and a sticker for our welcome bags. I cannot imagine working with another company-- they have helped solve so many of our wedding needs. Than you!"
"Loved this unique destination wedding save the date card! It's customizable, so you can enter your wedding location and the map will change to match. Great alternative for a save the date if you don't have your engagement photos done yet (which would be us) or if you'd rather not upgrade to photo cards. Lots of cool options for fonts too - I thought ours ended up looking very trendy. The color quality is great too, almost a vintage look. We received a lot of compliments on them!"
"My fiance and I loved this save the date when we saw it online. The designer who customized the product was fabulous. I added a few extra details and they made it look just how I had pictured it. The live chats are very helpful also. If I ever had any questions I would just chat! Definitely going to continue using Wedding Paper Divas!!"
"We got these Save the Date magnets, and we love them. Wedding Paper Divas even let us add a website address & password at the bottom, and it still looks cute. The designer getting everything ready for us was prompt and helpful, shipping was fast, and it's a great little product. We are very happy :)."
"This goes perfectly with our casino themed wedding. I ordered the postcards and unfortunately fedex lost my original order. I called and spoke with Wendy in customer service and she sent me a replacement order overnight. I was so excited when they got here. She really made my day!! The only thing i would suggest is definetly reread your personalizations because i missed a spelling i spelt feel instead of fell and the proofreader didn't catch it lol its ok though if you read it fast enough you never notice. I will be ordering all the other printing i need for my special day from wedding paper divas they really are making my day alot easier with all their coordinating projects."

The Color Run's Anti Snowflakes.
August 18, 2013, 12:11:22 AM »
I ran the color run in Buffalo today. Let me tell you about the anti-snowflakes I met there.
They put out a call last week for volunteers for race day - they needed to be at the race site at 6:30 am - and a minimum of 500 people, mostly teens, showed up. There were also a few running coaches, Firemen, Paramedics, Police and Homeland Security. And a Bag Piper who made my day by being there, just because I love bag pipes.
But the kids were the stand-outs. These kids, many of them cross country runners, had gotten up around 5:30 AM on a Saturday morning, to help out. They were enthusiastic, kind and most of all encouraging. They did things like manning the color stations - shouting encouragement while coloring our shirts with dye, others had megaphones and ran along the side lines - again encouraging folks. Near the end when spirits were low and some of the runners/walkers wanted to give up, they offered high fives and calls of "You have this, keep going, you can do it." Putting their all into making the day more enjoyable and encouraging us to meet or goal of finishing the race. For many of the runners it was their first 5K ever, for others like me it was the first time running a race since High School. But the kids - even after 5 or more hours never wavered in their kindness and their encouragement. They stayed till the last person finished.
The kids I spoke to - downplayed what they did when I thanked them for doing it..many of tm telling me that they liked seeing beginners get involved in "their sport" and wanted to do something to encourage them.
Wehear so much about the bad mannered people in the world and here were literally hundreds, doing everything they could to make other's lives more enjoyable and be encouraging.

I genuinely believe that young people are getting better and better. I'm so glad you had such a great experience.

This is just such a nice story to hear. Teens today I really do believe get a bum rap. There are so many of them who are wonderful, yet we rarely hear about them. We only hear about the 'bad' ones.
So thanks for sharing this uplifting story and giving the kids credit where credit is due. It's a sweet deviation from the "usual and customary".
Anti-Snowflakes indeed!

If they were Identified by school (shirts/uniforms/jackets) I would fire off an e-mail to the Superintendent, District Athletic Director, Principal, and Coach - saying just what you said here. Kids get trashed talked, followed in stores - and told in 100 different ways that their generation is no good. Someone taking the time to praise them to their "bosses" lets them know people see the good they do.
I've done it a many times - the response I get back usually mentions the kids getting praise or rewards.
Another time my kids were the ones getting the praise. We were at the MFAHouston. We had a problem with a guard that was very ugly to my students for no reason. A woman, dressed to the nines, made the guard stop yelling at my kids, told her they were some of the best behaved kids she had seen that day. Later she called my principal - to praise the kids. She also must have made her feelings known to MFAH because they called asked about what had happened and said they would deal with the guard. Instead of taking away the lesson that somehow they didn't belong in the museum (the guard actually said that), my kids learned that good people will stand up for other people.

That's wonderful! and I agree with kherbert, if you know what schools they are from, call and let the schools know.

Great for what it is By David on 1/14/14
David would recommend this product to a friendGood thick felt sock was very effective at trapping gunk. Convenient as a portable sock bracket - hang it on a bucket if needed.
Adjustable length inlet tube is a great feature - but I wish it were more securely attached to the bracket. -
Great pre filter By John on 3/29/13
John would recommend this product to a friendDoes just as it should and catches almost all free floating debris. A must for that crystal clear water. -
Great buy! By Mark on 10/10/12
Mark would recommend this product to a friendNow I can lose the bio balls and put in a fat cone skimmer. Shipping is fast! -
50/50 on this one By roger on 4/27/11
roger would recommend this product to a friendThis thing does keep everything in my sump cleaner which i like but has some draw backs. one is its a pain to change the fiter sock and that long pipe gets every thing wet when i change it. for me thats about every four days. i would cut the pipe but after experimenting with this it started a loud chug chug sound. make sure to get a bunch of extra fiter socks too because there a pain to clean (i do mine in the washing machine). i think the mesh socks would be easier than the felt one that i have. one more thing, make sure there is enough room above your sump or you will not be able to lift the pipe out of the way to change the filter. sounds like a neg reveiw but it is the best way i know of to get all the lil particals that used to float around my tank out and keep my sump squeeky clean, so for that i do recommend this product. -
Nice but not bullet proof By Joe on 2/28/11
Joe would recommend this product to a friendBeen using one for a few years, I managed to break the black acrylic at the bend as its a weakened the way they form the bend. Got creative with a way to still use it and it still is fine. Depending how long you make the pipe in the sock it can be hard to get a sock on/off but it also quiets the water sound having the pipe a little longer. -
Quality Product By Nick on 1/31/11
Nick would recommend this product to a friendGood quality and sturdy.

Being able to rebuild your kitchen, paint your home, or tile your bathroom brings with it a great sense of pride. But should a very complex solar panel installation project be on your DIY list? Or should solar installation be left to certified professionals? Three areas of expertise are essential for any solar panel installation:
The DIY Solar Option. You bought your solar panels, and now you want to put them on your roof. You will need to know how to work on a rooftop, which is the primary location for most residential solar panels. You'll generally need to be proficient in installing mounting and racking systems for the solar panels without damaging your roof. You'll also need to know how to angle your panels to receive the most sunlight year-round and maximize electrical generation. If you don't place your solar panels at the optimum tilt, you'll get less electricity. That means you're losing money on your investment every day.
The Certified Solar Installer Solution. Certified solar installers have years of experience mounting, orienting, and securing solar panels. They know at what angle and orientation to place your solar panels to maximize electrical production, ensuring that you earn the highest possible return on investment. Solar installers also know how to install the solar panels without damaging the integrity of the roof that could lead to costly leaks. Even if they do cause damage, reputable solar installers have warrantees for the installation so that you can be sure that any problems that arise will be fixed with no cost to you.
The DIY Solar Option. The second important part of a DIY solar project is being knowledgeable in residential electrical wiring and local grid interconnection. Generally speaking, you should have electrical training to work with live 400- or 600- volt wiring. Ideally, you have professional certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). Graduates from this program can properly size an inverter to convert DC power from your solar panels into AC power. Bad wiring can reduce the amount of usable electricity, and with so much current flowing from a solar system, poor electrical work is extremely hazardous.
Tying in the panels to the local grid requires a lot of specialized knowledge and technical equipment. The U.S. Department of Energy states that you need to "purchase conditioning equipment that can match the voltage, phase, frequency, and sine wave profile of the electricity produced by your system to that flowing through the grid." The equipment needed for a solar panel installation includes:
The DIY Solar Option. You may have the electrical knowledge and roofing experience for installing solar panels, but do you have the time and patience for paperwork? Installing solar panels requires permitting and a variety of agreements to get them running and approved. Plus, there are also rebates and tax incentives that can significantly reduce your overall expenses. Not understanding how to manage all these agreements is another area where potential cost savings from a DIY solar project can vanish.
The Certified Solar Installer Solution. An experienced solar professional can help you find your way through all the red-tape. Solar panel installers regularly work with building inspectors and utility officials. They also know what rebates and tax incentives will make the most sense for you. With available incentives like the federal 30% Investment Tax Credit, there is quite a bit of money involved. All of these things are ways that a certified solar installer helps to reduce your costs and maximize your return on investment.
There are many great DIY projects to turn your home into your castle, but when you're already making a really big investment in solar power, it makes a lot of sense to have it installed by a solar professional. A certified solar installer has the equipment and knowledge to work quickly and efficiently to get your solar panels up and running while offering warranties to protect your investment for the long-term. Plus, with many of the new solar financing options, having a certified solar installer do the work can also be very affordable.
Unless you really are knowledgeable in all three areas, a solar project is best left to solar power professionals so that you can get the best return on your solar investment.

Relaxed Awareness Meditation: Breath
As taught by
Kim Eng
Oprah.com | January 30, 2008
Before you start your meditation, become physically comfortable. Sit on an upright chair. Alternatively, you may wish to sit cross-legged on a cushion on the floor in the traditional meditation posture. Sit comfortably, with your spine erect, and close your eyes. Begin to turn your attention inward and become aware of your breath. Don't try to change the length of the breath. Just be aware of the breath as it is now. As you become aware of the breath, it tends to change naturally and become deeper. Feel the breath moving in and out of the body. Feel the abdomen rise on the inhale and fall on the exhale. If thoughts arise, just notice them and return attention to your breath. If you become lost in thoughts, the moment you realize you have been lost in thoughts, you are no longer lost. Simply let the thoughts go and return to your awareness of the breath.
After 10 or 15 minutes, open your eyes. Remain seated for another couple of minutes or so before rising to your feet.

A look at Historical Japanese costume aimed for beginners.
Learn MoreContemporary sources that are useful to Japanese Reenactors.
Learn MoreThis article contains a list of books, with descriptions, of Japanese costume interest.
Learn MoreThis article provides a brief overview of Japanese clothing from ancient times until the beginning of the "modern" Tokugawa period in the 17th century.
Learn MoreThis article is very useful to the student of Japanese historical clothing. It points out the differences between modern garments and their historical counterparts which may have had the same name.
Learn MorePatterns have only been commercially available since the late 19th century when companies began to produce patterns intended for homemaker use. But the history of patterns stretches far back through the centuries. As apprentices, tailors learned how to take a customer's measurements and draft the pieces that would make up the clothing to be constructed. The patterns a tailor made during his apprenticeship would often stay with him throughout his entire career. Needless to say, patterns were closely-guarded commodities and were not shared for fear of losing business.

Cav-a-linkage: Where Will LBJ Land
The only topic that irritates me more than this one is the Brady Quinn v. Derek Anderson debate - which consumes every second of local sports talk radio in this town - but nevertheless, here is more pure speculation on the LBJ Summer of 2010:
Where Will LBJ Land - Royce Webb, ESPN:
"Clevelanders can't exhale yet, but perhaps they can take some comfort in our forecast, as 73.1 percent of our panel members now see LeBron staying in Ohio. That's a switch from last year, when less than half the panel saw King James wearing the wine and gold past 2010... "
Now I am not really sure what it means if 73% of this panel thinks LeBron will re-up with the Cavaliers, but I hope it means ESPNwill talk about this topic at least 73% less than they did a year ago. I mean after-all, Brett Farve did re-sign with the Vikings. Further down in the piece though, Webb does lay out a critical aspect of this equation that is worth noting.
"But the Cavs caught a break, it appears, at least in terms of their LeBron retention plan, when the league crunched the numbers and projected a drop in revenues and the salary cap for the coming year. That means, as things currently stand, the Knicks could not sign both LBJ and a friend like Chris Bosh or Dwyane Wade to max contracts. Presumably that would dampen LeBron's interest in making the leap to the Big Apple."
The recent restructuring of the salary cap certainly does benefit the Cavaliers. And for a NY to lure LBJ, you have to think that he's right, its gonna take signing 'LBJ and a friend,' something the Knicks frankly can't do. That is, unless James and Chris Duhon become facebook pals in the coming months.

Wisconsin 7s Keeps Winning |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens |
Wisconsin keeps proving itself on the 7s field, and after defending its title at Big Ten 7s Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, the Badgers will return to both the Collegiate Rugby Championship and the USA Rugby National Championships. For the second year in a row, Wisconsin beat Penn State in the final to win the Big Ten. "The boys tackled hard. They were really confident in the tackle. We were undersized, so they had to be," said Wisconsin coach Skip Heffernan. "Penn State had a couple of really fast guys we were concerned about, and they broke one early to make a game out of it. But we had a couple of pretty big hits defensively and kept it down in their end pretty well." Tournament MVP Tom Hemmings ran in two tries in the final and made some of those aforementioned tackles. The English student who arrived in Madison, Wisc. this semester has been lights out for the Badgers in 15s and 7s. "He just sees the gap and he's got some acceleration to get through it," said Heffernan of Hemmings. "He's deceptively fast. He's a big, tall lanky guy, but he just sees the field and when he sees the whole he takes the gap." Another guy who stepped up was freshman Jack Goss, who took over in the final for injured captain Curtis Shepherd. "He played the whole 20 minutes. He played great on defense," said Heffernan of Goss. "It was a real team effort and Jack really personified that. Everybody that got asked to step up, did. We got all of our subs in pretty early in the second half, so when we got fresh legs that helped a lot." Heffernan said playing in the CRC and National Championships last season has really helped the 7s team grow into the formidable force it is. "There's more depth on this team. There's more good 7s players. Last year we had a couple of real stars in Andrew Hannske and Ben Knight, but now we've got a lot of solid players," he said. "And the experience of having played in these big tournaments the last couple of years has made a lot of guys better 7s players. We've got some experience across the board, and that really helps." |

Natrol My Favorite Multiple® for Women -- 90 Tablets
These vitamins seem good but i don't like the fact that the dosage is 3 tablets a day. I'd rather just take a one-tablet vitamin. There's 90 tablets but really only a 30 day dosage. I wouldn't buy it again for this reason.
August 22, 2012
They are OK!
I expect a multi-vitamin to do what it's supposed to and in that department Natrol did good. But I wish they would put somewhere in the description or on the label that you have to eat first. When I've taken these without eating I felt so sick. I'll stick to vitamins you can take without eating. Because I have a habit of taking my vitamins before I eat breakfast.
July 24, 2012
Best for the money
is a great multivitamin for women and at a great price thru this site.
It is esp good because it has the 500 mg of calcium per serving, that
was specifically what i liked about it.
February 3, 2009
Really great multi
I read a review from CPSI that pointed me toward this product. At first glance it may seem that it doesn't have the high doses that other vitamins do but that is what is important. Most other vitamins give you too much...and sometimes too much can be bad for you. The only thing this is light on is calcium/magnesium, so I take an extra suppliment to get 1,500/500 respectively. I've been on this for more than a year now and I feel that it does a great job. Also, I'm vegetarian so the B support in it is great.

...yep, USC has taken its lumps in Corn valley. ...for me too, a new coach is exciting, plus I now have a reason to give a hoot about the Eagles.
Brian Kelly is right behind Chip. Are you sure they are not brothers? Just don't keep up with the great northwest but starting to wonder about sanctions and such stuff. Only 4 years on the job, just don't get it.
sanctions, smanctions, the Ducks will fly I don't think Chip's running from nothin, he's a hot commodity who grabbed the golden ring. I hope they name Helfrich coach soon, I need to hear some good recruiting news.
I don't understand this move. Unless Chip is pulling the ole Pete and sneaking out before the Willie Lyles shit hits. I hate it for the Ducks, they are the team I pull for other than LSU, and the Louisiana schools. GDF any ideas on a replacement? I wonder if they dangled a carrot in front of Petersen from Boise State if he would bite.
I guess the NFL teams are rethinking their stance on the style of offense which can be successful. I am also interested to see what type of patience Eagles fans will have with Kelly. Will they give him enough time to draft and devolope his players? Also which coordinators will Chip bring in to assist him? The o-line was weak and the defense although talented, struggled.
A couple of times I heard reporters ask Kelly, "How's it feel to be playing in the biggest football game of the year? His reply, "The Superbowl is the biggest football game of the year." I think Chip's an NFL guy at heart. He's been my favorite coach, but Oregon's sports are bigger than Chip Kelly,.. you need not worry, everything's going to be ducky. Next man in,.. Mark Helfrich,......http://www.registerguard.com/web/sports/
I'm just wondering about sanctions, Oregon has been a consistent team for some time now, so if there are no sanctions, I don't expect that to change. Being Belotti back to do a Bill Snyder.
I'm tired of waiting, I'll be glad when the NCAA finally burps It's decree. Oregon's strategy of working with the NCAA in hopes of receiving a summary disposition has failed,.. thus the Duck's fate will be decided by the Infraction Committee,.. probably sometime this Spring. I would feel better if I trusted them to be fair, but I don't,.. the much too severe sanctions against USC scare me. The NCAA is omnipotent, cross them at your peril for they become spiteful bitches. There was an article in the Eugene paper quite a while back that might shed a tiny bit of light on the Lyles crap. I've looked for the link a few times but haven't found it yet. As I recall, the article said an employee of the Oregon AD was dismissed, (later denied by the AD), because he went beyond his job description and contacted people he shouldn't have,.. these contacts technically made him a coach, so I think we're in trouble for having too many coaches at the very least. Two AD employees are going to Philadelphia with Chip, our associate AD in charge of football operations, James Harris, and his assistant Josh Gibson. I believe Gibson is the person who became our "extra coach", and I think Harris was mentioned in the article too.... smells fishy. Our RB coach Gary Campbell is most closely connected to the trouble, he's been at Oregon 28 years,.. in lieu of harsher penalties, I fear he will be sacrificed and his head presented to the NCAA as a token. Lots of speculation, and few known facts, so who knows,.. but I'll be happy when it's over. EDIT: found it, http://www2.registerguard.com/cms/i...d-as-oregons-assistant-director-of-football-/
If the Ducks get hammered, Chip will look a lot more like Richard Kimble then Dick Vermeil. Goodell did suspend Terelle Pryor for 5 games for his college involvement with tattoogate. Talk about a glass half full kind of guy, I'm actually envisioning a scenario where the crime follows the perpetrator. Never mind.
This is an important article/development, (if you give a shit at all), on one hand,.. it's great, and is probably the coaching contract wave of the future.. on the other hand,.. I think it's evidence that the Ducks expect to get smacked around by the Infractions Committee. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...tract-helfrich-ncaa-rules-compliance/1855593/ The contract between the University of Oregon and its new head football coach, Mark Helfrich, contains an unusual set of specific provisions related to NCAA rules compliance, including a requirement that Helfrich "actively look for red flags of potential violations.".... ....did not exist in any of the three iterations of previous Oregon coach Chip Kelly's agreement. While provisions requiring compliance with NCAA rules are standard in college athletics contracts, the requirements of Helfrich's deal are extraordinary in scope and detail.... The details are strict and specific and good,.. and I fear, the first of a, "we're not going to let this happen again", public relations campaign. Maybe I'm just becoming paranoid. Where's baseball when I need it most..... Tusk?,.. the one armed man did it.

The authority that oversees the Washington region's airports, the Dulles toll road and the Dulles Metro rail extension will face the scrutiny of Virginia's delegates Thursday.
The House of Delegates transportation committee will hold a hearing on the operations of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority at 10:30 a.m. in Herndon, where they'll hear testimony from MWAA officials.
MWAA has been criticized in recent weeks by local and state officials who question the authority's practices. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., requested a federal audit of the agency, and the MWAA board members have reportedly accused one another of racism in a split over a vote to decide the authority's next chief executive.
