Craftsman does it right. The shed was well designed and engineered. Everything was there to put it together and have it fit the first time. The number of panels, connectors and nuts and bolts was beyond counting, but it was not possible to get things in the wrong place. Assembly is a big project, so plan to take all day. I had one problem with the shed. The doors were on the wrong side. The sales staff was not fully informed and told me the wrong thing. I had to return the shed and find another solution because of space limitations. Sears did have another product that should work. Otherwise, I was totally satisfied with the Craftsman shed.

IMPORTANT: IF DAMAGED BOX (Bent metal) return it!!! I had my shed delivered to my local Sears store. I notice the box had some minor shipment damage but I hauled it home. Open the Box notice minor side panel damage and some with the gables. No problem But the shed is a Tight Design. Fairly simple to build, I did all the work by myself ex. For 6 bolts. BUTTT The bend side panels required some modification and the bent Gables required some extra tape to seal the gaps. Put together in two Days. I am handy and was sort on time to get this done so I worked through the issues. MY Recommendation is if box damaged return it other wise you will have to make many Modifications.

I thought the price looked good. I was excited to get a steel shed. I've built a few before. When it came, the box was smaller than expected, especially for a (10x7). Most of the parts were bent on the ends and had to be straightened out with tools before I began (the metal was VERY thin), the steel panels were very easily dented... The instructions are a little confusing. It took a LOT of time just to get through the first quarter of the manual. The manual says it can blow away with light winds....that's a little scary. But the most disappointing part was that it doesn't come with a FLOOR. For some reason I never saw it written anywhere as "Shed shell" or "Flooring not included". No wonder it was so cheep... So keep in mind you have to secure your light winds shed down to something without a floor and still come out of pocket on the floor...that can easily let in pests or plants... I honestly can't say that I cant think of anything good or helpful about this shed. It has a million different codes for every piece painted or indented on them. Instructions had a double name for the various screws which was hard to figure out...Which would be fine if it didn't come with over 800 pieces and literally thousands of screws and nuts. This is not a easy shed to put together. Good luck. I'm returning mine.

This shed has so many pieces and parts it will take forever to put together. Roughly over 10 hours. Structure wise it seems stable. No skylights like the other ones i have seen before.

A group of 5 of us assembled this shed and took us ALL WEEKEND to put it together. At the end it looked great but it is very time consuming. The manual was awful. It didn't explain the steps very well and the illustrations didn't help as they weren't detailed.

I was slightly skeptical when I purchased this shed. I have put together many metal sheds in the past and they were awful. This I did by my self!! (except for 4 roof bolts) It took a little over 10 hours not bad... that did include building the platform that it sits on. I would have given this 4.5 stars because its only draw back are how the doors line up. But my grinder took care of that. I would definitely suggest this. The directions were simple to follow, it was rather easy to put together with almost no assistance and it is very nice looking as well definitely not an eye sore

I'm very new to the world of RC. Not sure where to start. Do people usually buy pre-made receivers or build their own?
If I buy a ready-made receiver, can you modify it? For example, what if I want a stronger motor?
And what about the size/power of the battery? Does that limit/determine future choices?
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SALISBURY, Md. - Salisbury City Council members are planning to possibly hold a special meeting this week, to discuss the costs of an animal health building. The meeting was originally set for Monday, but was canceled.
Bids for the animal health building, which would be part of the Salisbury Zoo, came in much higher than originally anticipated, so the council needs to come up with additional funding. The building is a requirement for the zoo in order for them to keep their Association ofZoos and Aquariums (AZA) Accreditation. The Salisbury Zoo is one of five totally accredited zoos in the country, and brings $17 million into the economy each year. Councilwoman Laura Mitchell says that the council is looking to offset the costs with bonds from previous projects that came in under budget, but there are many legal steps they have to go through in order to do this. Mitchell says she hopes to have a special meeting this week, so the ordinance can be passed at the next legislative meeting on July 22nd.

AUGUSTA (AP) — The assault on tobacco use is resuming on several fronts in the State House, including denying benefits for MaineCare recipients who smoke and restricting smoking in private clubs.
Details of those and other bills are not yet fleshed out, but sponsors say they want to reduce Maine's smoking rate and drive down taxpayers' costs of treating tobacco-related illnesses.
Sen. Thomas Saviello said Friday he decided to introduce a bill to keep people receiving MaineCare — the state's Medicaid program — from receiving benefits at the suggestion of a constituent who also works in a rural health care clinic.
Saviello did not identify the woman but said she's expected to testify in favor of his bill. He said she's troubled when she sees MaineCare patients who have respiratory problems and smoke heavily, because taxpayers are subsidizing treatment for illnesses that could be avoided.
Saviello said he's not sure how much money could be saved by not having to treat smoking-related illnesses, but "I suspect it could be pretty significant."
Saviello also said he's not out to punish smokers or tell them how to live their lives. Prospects of the bill are unknown just a few weeks into the session. But regardless of how it fares, Saviello said he wants to raise the point that taxpayers are paying a price in cases like the one his constituent outlined.
"I'm making a conversation I think needs to take place," he said.
Rep. Les Fossel of Alna wants to raise the minimum age to possess tobacco from 18 to 21. Fossel, a Republican, said that would address a rising youth smoking rate in Maine that was also highlighted earlier this week by the American Lung Association of Maine.
"If you don't get addicted before you're 21, you're apt not to get addicted," said Fossel, who also sees a connection between youth smoking and the ability of 18-year-olds who are in public schools to get tobacco products.
"How do you get it out of the schools? The answer is to raise the smoking age to 21, and we'll see if it works," said Fossel.
Rep. Anna Blodgett, D-Augusta, is sponsoring a bill to bar smoking in private clubs except for enclosed areas.
Current law prohibits smoking in most buildings open to the public, including restaurants and bars. However, private clubs, such as the Elks and American Legion, are not considered "public places" because they're only open to members and their invited guests, so smoking is allowed if the club so chooses.
Blodgett said the main reason for submitting the bill is that many veterans have health issues and can't be around smoke but want to be able to be active in club functions.
The lung association is pushing legislation to discourage youth smoking by raising Maine's cigarette excise tax, now $2 per pack, by $1.50 per pack to a total of $3.50. Supporters say the higher tax is the most effective way to discourage young people from smoking.
Gov. Paul LePage opposes tax increases. As a candidate for governor, he proposed a reduction in the cigarette tax if the state could make up the loss in revenue.
Anti-smoking advocates led by the lung association say Maine has the second-lowest cigarette tax in New England, behind only New Hampshire's $1.78.

There probably should have been penalties on both ends of the pitch in a crazy few minutes. Alexis Sanchez, who's been relatively quiet in Barcelona's front three, was looking to pull off a shot against Iker Casillas's goal before he was barged off the ball by Pepe and sent flying off the pitch. Within thirty seconds, the same happened to Madrid as Carles Puyol shoulder-barged Karim Benzema off the ball as he was about to pull the trigger against Jose Pinto. Neither challenge got any of the ball, but neither penalty was given. Oops.
Both players, incidentally, were hurt in those incidents. Benzema's got no choice but to soldier on because Madrid have already used all three subs, but Pep Guardiola yanks Sanchez off for Javier Mascherano, a defensive substitution designed to hold the lead. There're ten minutes left - can Madrid pull off a historic comeback?

The program can help degree candidates who want to gain experience while pursuing their education find full-time or part-time employment. Most students enter the program already with full-time jobs. Many of the 10–15% of MBT students who initially enroll full time secure work experience while finishing their degree because of the strong demand in the Twin Cities for temporary employment, particularly during the early spring term. Degree candidates may also use the Undergraduate Business Career Center (UBCC) , which schedules on-campus interviews with a variety of firms and companies. The UBCC is located in 2-180 Hansen Hall (HMH) which is connected to the Carlson School. In addition, students often make employment contacts through classmates.

Vienna is one of the most diverse cities in Europe. Thanks to stunning imperial architecture, unparalleled musical and cultural attractions, unique cuisine, and pockets of green space right in the heart of the city, the Austrian capital never fails to put visitors under its spell. Over 100 museums, and about 180 palaces and stately homes give Vienna a special appeal. And somewhere in the middle of all of this there is still plenty of room for modern architecture and design.
Vienna has a thriving gay and lesbian scene. The city has something for everyone – from café hotspots, cocktail bars (http://www.wien.info/en/vienna-for/gay-lesbian/cafes-restaurants-bars) and lesbian restaurants, to gay leather hangouts, discos, clubs (http://www.wien.info/en/vienna-for/gay-lesbian/parties-clubs) and saunas. There are also a number of large scale events (http://www.wien.info/en/vienna-for/gay-lesbian/events) such as the Life Ball, Rainbow Parade, the Rainbow Ball and the Rosenball, and Wien in Schwarz.
The city is far more gay-friendly than you might think. For centuries art and politics in Austria have had a strong homosexual influence. On January 1, 2010 same-sex couples in Vienna have been able to officially register their partnerships (http://www.wien.info/en/vienna-for/gay-lesbian/gay-wedding) in ceremonies at some of the city's best-loved locations.
Vienna is changing more quickly than many other cities. Make sure you don't miss out. Visit Vienna – Now or Never!

Burley and Woodhead Primary School pupils sign up to tackle bullying
11:00am Friday 16th November 2012 in Local news
Burley and Woodhead Primary School is showing their support to beat bullying as it joins a national campaign.
Anti-Bullying Week starts on Monday and aims to raise awareness of the bullying of children and young people, also highlighting ways to respond to it.
The school has launched a logo competition using the strapline 'It's cool to be kind', giving all Key Stage Two pupils the opportunity to create their own design, which will form part of the school's identity.
School governor, Tina Pardoe, said: "At Burley and Woodhead, we recognise how lucky we are to have a school with a genuinely warm, friendly atmosphere, where children look out for each other.
"However, we are all human, and sometimes it's all too easy to allow jokes and fun to get out of hand, leaving children's feelings hurt.
"So we're using national Anti-Bullying Week to take some time to celebrate the great environment we have at school, as well as remembering just how important it is to be kind to each other."
The winning logo will then be art-worked by a professional designer free of charge. The winner will be announced in an assembly at some point during the week-long national campaign, and will feature on the school's website and other key communication pieces.

Our Heart Health week on Good Morning Texoma focused on our kids today. Dr. Jeannine Hatt sat down with Lisanne with some great advice for parents. Bottom line, it starts in the home.
1) breast feeding your infant decreases their chance of obesity, heart disease and diabetes later
in life.
2) parent, grandparent and other adult role models' health habits (diet, activity and tobacco use)
have the greatest effect on a child's health habits.
3) healthier choices in fast food restaurants is possible. Keep portions SMALL.
4) And direct use or can't act with tobacco puts children at risk for future heart disease
and children who grow up in a household where adults smoke are more likely to become
smokers themselves. So again, health habits are learned at home.

So for us the itinerary was to some degree secondary to the timing and the price, so we opted for the cheapest inside cabins which were fine, although 3 did suffer from noise from the adjoining maintenance corridor but Guest Relations were very quick to help with this.
We all thought the food was excellent, I have read other reviews of this cruise criticising teh buffet.We never use the buffet normally, this time we did for lunch and breakfast because there were no queues, the food was fresh and hot and there were always plenty of empty tables. Streets ahead of P&O which we have most experience of.
MDR experience was again excellent we chose Select dining and pre booked a time online for each night.We were allocated a wonderful table and as we were 8 together it seemed to suit them and us to keep the same table throughout.Service was super, 2 of the group had the wine package and the service to us and them was identical and very attentive, and the wait team worked really well together.
We had one meal in Ocean Liners and that was worth the cover charge, especially as they were offering deals of varying sorts to fill it on odd days (we went on an odd day!)
The ports were as we expected them to be having researched ahead of time. We opted for private tours or DIY and had a great time.
Photos of the ship and the ports are on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/jobloor/sets/72157631851176778/

Cutting for All Shaft Types
- Cut shafts to length using only a high-speed abrasive wheel cut-off tool designated for arrow shafts. Never use rotary tube cutters, a hacksaw or methods that can damage the tube and leave a rough cut.
- After cutting lightly chamfer the inside of the shaft, just enough to remove any burrs.
- Thoroughly clean the inside of the shaft with a cotton swab wetted with 91% to 99% isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol, which can contain oil).
CAUTIONS: Always wear a NIOSH approved dust mask and safety glasses when cutting any arrow shafts. Be sure to use a dust collector to vacuum up all of the carbon and/or aluminum dust when cutting arrow shafts.
Aluminum and Aluminum/Carbon Shafts Point and Insert Installation Instructions
Do not apply heat directly to the shaft.
- Heat a stick of Easton Hot Melt adhesive over a small gas flame until the adhesive is semi-fluid. Use only Easton hot melt adhesive.
- Apply a small ring of molten adhesive on the shaft end, just inside the shaft.
- To prevent over-heating A/C shafts, hold the point head in your fingers and carefully heat the shank end of the point or insert over a gas flame for 5 to 6 seconds. Be careful not to burn your fingers. (For aluminum shafts, pliers may be used to hold components, as overheating will happen less with the more conductive aluminum.) WARNING: OVER-HEATING SHAFT WILL VOID WARRANTY.
- Apply a film of adhesive completely around the entire shank of the point or insert.
- Put the point or insert about ¼" into the end of the shaft.
- Reheat the point for no more than 5 seconds to fully melt the adhesive.
- Without delay, slowly push the point into the shaft until it seats against the end of the shaft. Rotate point 1 or 2 revolutions while still warm. DO NOT FORCE A COMPONENT INTO THE SHAFT. Apply a little more heat to the POINT ONLY if the point hangs up during this step.
- Immediately, while adhesive is soft, wipe off any excess adhesive with a cloth or paper towel. Allow air-cooling in a point-down position.
- INSERTS: Use the same procedure as described. Install an RPS point into the insert prior to installation for ease of handling.

How to Measure Your Bra Size
Wearing the wrong bra size can ruin an otherwise flawless outfit. These step-by-step measuring instructions will ensure a perfect fit.
Are You Wearing the Right Size?
Here are a few telltale signs that you may not be: wrinkling in the cups, underwire poking the sides of your breasts, a band that rides up, cup spillage, slipping straps, or a bra that hikes up when you lift your arms, says Sandi Simon, a fit consultant at Bra Smyth, in New York City. (Keep in mind that certain factors can cause you to change bra size: a weight gain or loss, a new exercise regimen, pregnancy, and a change of diet, among them.) If you suffer from any of the fit issues above, head to a professional bra fitter—or bust out the measuring tape and follow the steps here.

April 26, 2008
DeLAND, Fla. - Andy Mauldin threw a complete game five-hitter to lead Stetson to a 6-3 win over JU in the nightcap of an Atlantic Sun Conference doubleheader at Conrad Park.
Mauldin's (5-1) only blemish was a three-run fourth inning as JU rallied to cut a 4-0 deficit to one. He struck out five and walked two.
"You have to credit to Stetson for the way they came out in the first inning to take the lead," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "We've got to come out tomorrow and play consistently for nine innings if we want to win this series."
Stetson (18-26, 8-15 A-Sun) opened the game with four runs in the bottom of the first inning off Matt Dobbins. The Hatters strung together three straight hits, with Justin Bass, Robert Crews and Josh Clendenin each getting RBI singles.
The Dolphins (23-18, 12-14 A-Sun) answered back with three runs in the fourth. Matt Lopez laced a two-run single to center field and Jamaal Hawkins had a sacrifice fly as JU cut the deficit to one, 4-3.
Senior left-hander Matt Dobbins (4-4) pitched well after being roughed up in the first, going six innings and allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out eight and walking two.
The Hatters got some insurance in the seventh, extending the lead to 6-3. Reliever Matt Loosen hit the first two batters he faced and with the bases loaded Crews came through again with a two-run single to center, pushing the lead to three.
The two teams will lock up again on Sunday in the rubber game of the series. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

Hilton Head is often a popular vacation site for celebrities from the Clintons to John Mellencamp to Paula Abdul, but the celebrity sightings will ramp up this fall at the annual Hilton Head Island Celebrity Golf Tournament August 30-September 1.
This yearly event pairs amateur golfers with celebrities to raise funds for local children's nonprofit organizations. For the past 30 years, Greenwood Resorts and Communities has played an active role in the success of the tournament, and one of the highlighted Hilton Head golf courses has been our own oceanfront Robert Trent Jones course.
Participating in the Hilton Head golf tournament this year are a host of celebrities, including:
And the list goes on… To see the complete list of celebrity participants, visit the tournament website.
The Robert Trent Jones course is the first stop for the three-day tournament. Opening ceremonies begin August 30 at 8:45 a.m. with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. On day 2, players will head to the Arnold Palmer Signature Course at Wexford Plantation and on day 3, Harbour Town Golf Links.
On September 1, there will also be a special kids' event from 1-3 p.m. with putting contests and prizes, as well as T-shirts and golf balls for the first 100 children.
Nothing planned for Labor Day? Take an end-of-summer break to Hilton Head Island and enjoy this classic Hilton Head Island golf tournament. For information about accommodations or other Hilton Head activities at the resort like tennis, kayaking, fishing and more, visit www.palmettodunes.com or give us a call at 866-744-7558.
Many school systems around the country have switched to year round school, which often results in a longer fall break for kids, sometimes up to two weeks. But whether you have two weeks, one week or just a long weekend for fall break, spending it in Hilton Head is a good choice!
The weather is ideal with high temperatures in the 70s and low 80s, and sports fans will love our choice of outdoor activities. Plus, if a certain someone in your family just can't miss their favorite team's football game, we've got plenty of places for that, too!
The Sun 'N Fun Island Escape and the Ultimate Family Package are perfect for families looking for an adventurous beach getaway. The packages start with a minimum three nights of accommodations and include bike rentals, kayak rentals, spa services, golf and more starting at $59 per person per night.
Adventure-seekers will love our Outdoor Adventure Package that lets you kayak, bike, play tennis and enjoy a dolphin cruise. It includes three nights of accommodations, a two-hour kayak rental through our 11-mile inland lagoon system, three days of bike rentals to explore Hilton Head's 50 miles of paved bike trails, a cruise from Shelter Cove Marina to see Hilton Head's friendliest mammal, the dolphin, and two hours of tennis court time daily.
Fishing in the resort's 11-mile lagoon heats up in autumn when the red fish start to spawn. The resort has stocked the lagoon with more than 6000 red fish, and there's even a 60-plus pound red fish that has been nicknamed "Elvis". See if you can catch him! Fishing is catch-and-release, and fishing charters are available through Hilton Head Outfitters.
Golfers can hit the greens on one of three award-winning Hilton Head golf courses at the resort, all recently aerified and looking great. We also offer fall golf packages that combine private instruction, tee times and accommodations, such as the Golf Stay & Play Package. The Group Golf Getaway is ideal for friends and family of 12 or more and includes three nights of accommodations, three rounds of golf, as well as discounts on all resort activities and pro shop purchases.
The fall schedule is filled with plenty of tennis action at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, named the Top Tennis Resort in the Carolinas by Tennis Magazine. The Banana Open Challenge October 4-6, the USTA On-Campus Fall Invitational October 11-13, the USTA South Carolina Combo Adult and 55 & Over Championship October 17-21, and the Annual Wild Wing Café Nutty Buddy Tennis Classic November 1-3 offer plenty of chances to be a spectator or to play in these tennis tournaments.
And where can your family member go to catch some football action? Hilton Head Island has plenty of sports bars, and right here within the resort, Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers and Pizza restaurant located on the Jones golf course offers plenty of big screen TVs, so they won't have to miss a single pass.
We hope to see you in Hilton Head this fall! Give us a call at 866-744-7558 to plan your fall vacation to Hilton Head Island today.
When it comes to the PGA Championship this weekend at Oak Hill, all eyes may be on Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, but there's something special that happened at this same course 14 years ago that left our own Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver with a record-setting moment in history.
Weaver, then 29, was one of four players at the 1989 US Open at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., to hit a hole-in-one in less than two hours, a record for a PGA event. He was the first to hit the ace. It happened on the 156-yard sixth hole where Weaver used a 7-iron to make the shot. The ball went into a ridge to the right of the cup and then rolled back into the cup for the famous shot.
"The decibel level in the grandstand went up and up and up," said Weaver at the time in the New York Times, and, he said, when the ball disappeared into the cup, "it sounded like a clap of lightning."
Three subsequent players made a hole-in-one on the very same hole and using the same 7-iron club after Weaver. "The best part for me was that I was on the 12th tee, less than 100 yards from the sixth green when Mark got his hole-in-one," Weaver said. "I was in the middle of the 13th fairway when I heard the roar for Jerry, and I was on the 14th hole when I heard the roar for Nick's. I was able to relive it every time."
According to the New York Times, the odds of such an event happening all on the same day are 332,000 to 1. Even for a professional to hit a hole-in-one on the PGA tour in any given round is calculated at 3,708 to 1.
Weaver has been featured in articles and several media outlets across the country as we head into the PGA Championship at the same New York course this weekend. Mentions of Weaver's famous shot have run in the New York Times, Chicago Times, been discussed on the Golf Channel and more.
Should you hope for a hole-in-one at this year's Championship? We're not betting on it. The sixth hole has been changed since then and the slope softened. Of course maybe if Doug Weaver was there…
If you would like to take a lesson or clinic from our very own PGA pro, Weaver himself, give us a call at 866-744-7558. He offers instructional programs every day of the week at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy for players of every skill level.
Golfers know there's nothing that takes the fun out of golf faster than a slow pace of play from the group ahead of you (OK, maybe a bad game might be a bummer, too!). Here at our Hilton Head golf courses at Palmetto Dunes, we strive to create a positive pace of play environment for all golfers!
When you play golf at the Arthur Hills, Robert Trent Jones or George Fazio courses, you'll find a standard pace of play to be about four to five hours for 18 holes. Many of our groups finish faster than that, however.
If you have particular needs or desire a faster or slower pace, check with our vacation planners when you book your tee time to find a time of day that may be more likely to facilitate your request. Some times of day and days of the week are naturally less busy and may allow your group to play through more quickly or slowly.
A lot goes into pace of play and we aim to make all the components come together for the best possible experience. When you come to play golf, one of our "Starters" will make sure you get going at your set tee time and guide you on our pace of play guidelines. Then, we place "Rangers" on the course to make sure everyone is moving at an appropriate speed. All of our staff work to monitor the current pace and keep it moving. All groups are expected to "keep pace."
Want to enjoy a group golf adventure? Submit a request for a customized quote here. Also, remember we offer discounts when you play multiple rounds. Check out our multi-round Hilton Head golf specials. You can also book your tee time online or by calling us at 866-744-7558.
How do you make sure your golf group stays "on pace"?
We hope you have a great round of golf here at Palmetto Dunes!

How To: Get Jordin Sparks' Beauty Look From 'Sparkle'
August 20, 2012 at 1:12 pm , by Nykia Spradley
To say that we were "excited" about the premier of Sparkle would be a gross understatement. We love girl groups—shouts out to En Vogue, Destiny's Child, and the Spice Girls—so to be able to watch 116 minutes of one (even if it is fictitious) makes us an extremely happy bunch. We're really looking forward to checking out all of the costume changes and makeup looks the actresses go through in the movie. Lucky us; we didn't have to wait very long. Black Opal (the flick's official makeup sponsor) sent us a how-to for a look inspired by one of the movie's stars—Jordin Sparks.
The Look: "Spicy Ingenue"
Step 1
Start by applying concealer one to two shades lighter than your actual complexion. Apply in the center of the forehead, bridge of the nose, center of the chin, underneath the eye from the inner corner back to the hair line. Once foundation is applied to the skin and blended where it meets the areas you concealed you will have a achieved a dimensional canvas to build on.
Step 2
Use powder over the areas you used concealer. This will set the makeup and prevent it from creasing while leaving the rest of the skin to glow.
Step 3
Apply bronzer on the apples of the cheeks and across each brow bone.
Step 4
Line the lips with taupe lip liner and smudge the inner-corner of the lips with the same liner. Apply and blend a warm pink lipstick into the lips and lip liner.
Step 5
Using the Black Opal Gold Galaxy Eye Shadow Palette, apply the darkest color at the base of the eye lid, onto the lid and smudge the color into the crease of the eye. Use the lightest color in the palette on the brow bone.
Step 6
Softly brush brow powder along the brow hair, shaping and filling in any holes. Start out light handed and build to desired shape and intensity.
Step 7
Mascara the lashes by starting at the base of the lash line, wiggle the wand and pull through. Repeat several times.

CATEGORIES Columns, CinematicalWelcome to Where Everyone Has Gone Before, the weekly column where I continue my film education before your very eyes by seeking out and watching all of the movies I should have seen by now. I will first judge the movie before I've watched it, based entirely on its reputation (and my potentially misguided thoughts). Then I will give the movie a fair chance and actually watch it. You will laugh at me, you may condemn me, but you will never say I didn't try!
The Film: 'On the Waterfront' (1954), Dir. Elia Kazan
Starring: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger and Eva Marie Saint.
Why I Haven't Seen It Until Now: Sometimes, a film's "classic" status becomes so overwhelming that you can't help but feel immature, ridiculous and entirely indefensible feelings of resentment toward it. I'm sure it's good. Yeah, I'll see it sometime. Eight Oscars? You know what else won that many Oscars? 'Out of Freakin' Africa.' I'm aware that it's a masterpiece. You've told me that about fifty times. Okay, fine. FINE. I'll see it. Sheesh.
Pre-Viewing Assumptions:
Even before I watch a single frame of 'On the Waterfront,' I find myself faced with a dilemma: what else is there to write about this movie?
It's only a best picture winner. It's only one of the most quoted films of all time. It only features one of Marlon Brando's most famous and iconic performances. It's only cited as one of the Best Movies Of All Time by everyone who has seen it.
You know. Little things like that.
Every film writer worth his salt with access to a pen has written something about 'On the Waterfront.' People much smarter than me. People who are better writers. People who have seen more movies, read more books, lived more life and are better human beings in general. What the hell can I add to the conversation? I'm going into this one under the assumption that I'm going to love it and if it lives up to those expectations, what can I write? That Brando gives a stellar performance? That Eva Marie Saint is lovely? That director Elia Kazan may have been a scoundrel who sold out a lot of good people to the Red Scare, but man, he sure could direct a movie? It's all been said before.
Of course, if I don't like it, the ensuing uproar amongst my friends and colleagues would surely rip my personal universe asunder. I was emotionally browbeaten for a week following my less-than-glowing assessment of 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' -- what will happen to me if 'On the Waterfront' does nothing for me? So, for my sake, I kinda' have to like this movie.
Let's backtrack and isolate this to a single simple question: what purpose does reviewing older films serve? Why do my thoughts regarding 'On the Waterfront' matter, especially since I'll be working on a borderline gut reaction after a single viewing? I want to say that it's all about perspective. If what I'm doing here has any importance whatsoever (and it doesn't, so don't think I'm getting any delusions of grandeur), it's through the examination of how we react to films not only based on their content, but on their reputations and how they've aged.
A film that's good one decade may falter the next. A film may loom so large in our collective consciousness that it just doesn't live up to your expectations once you've seen it. Surely the truly great films are the ones that maintain their impact from generation to generation and manage to fill the shadow of hype that surround them at all times. There's only room for so many masterpieces -- sadly, some art simply fades away, because it must. Because there's simply not enough room. It is the duty of each generation to examine the work and the art of their predecessors and to decide what moves on and what gets left behind. How many old films have slipped quietly into memory while 'City Lights' and 'Metropolis' continue to impress? Those two films maintain their power. They're timeless.
And I'm going to go ahead and assume in advance that the same can be said about 'On the Waterfront,' but will that mean I'll simply have to regurgitate 56 years worth of observations that have already been made by a thousand film writers? Possibly. Probably.
Eh, who am I kidding? Yes.
Post-Viewing Reaction:
As expected, 'On the Waterfront' is a tremendous film that should be watched by anyone who considers themselves a film lover. It's pretty much the standard Hollywood recipe for how to make a great film: take a great screenplay, add some great actors, let a great director stir the pot any way he likes and make sure the whole thing looks really nice. This seems like an obvious combination of ingredients, but you wouldn't know it. How many truly great films are out there, really? I'm talking about unquestionable masterpieces, not just movies that you're fond of. A couple thousand, perhaps? Out of the four to eight million movies (or so a two-minute Google search estimates) produced in the past century, that's a tiny slice of the pie.
The point is that 'On the Waterfront' is a great movie because it's a great story well told. Free of gimmicks and flash, it tackles a story that's grounded in true reality while elevating it just enough to make it worthy of cinema.
Surely you know the plot: Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) is a former boxer who threw a fight he should've won so mobster Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) could win big on a bet. Now, he works on the docks, which are controlled by crooked union leaders who deal with problem employees by chucking them off rooftops or arranging for them to die in accidents. When Malloy meets Edie (the oh-my-god gorgeous Eva Marie Saint), the sister of a man he set up for murder, his pesky conscience decides to kick in.
Even if you don't know the plot of 'On the Waterfront,' you must be familiar with Brando's famous mini-speech to his brother, Charley (Rod Steiger) a crooked mob lawyer who is trying to convince him at gunpoint not to testify against Friendly in court: "I coulda' had class! I coulda' been a contender! I coulda' been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am." Everyone knows that one.
It's a tale of redemption in the face of unbeatable odds. Classic Hollywood. On the surface, the film's message of standing up for what you believe in is about as subtle as a brick through a window, but any potential preachiness is overwhelmed by by compelling storytelling and one of the greatest ensembles ever gathered for a film.
In a film filled with great scenes, two of them stand out. One is the above-mentioned scene between Brando and his brother in the car (a classic scene for all of the right reasons). The second is a scene where Father Barry (Karl Malden) preaches over the body of a murdered man on the dock, standing firm while mobsters watch from above, pelting him with objects, cutting him and drawing blood. The scene works because Malden sells the hell out of his speech, but it draws a fascinating comparison between his work and Brando's. Malden is Acting!, meaning that we can see the process, see the performance and admire the sheer craft of what he's doing. On the other hand, Brando, a consummate method performer, is simply acting, vanishing into a character, becoming as naturalistic as possible.
Brando's work, full of slurred lines and mumbles and odd little tics couldn't be more different than Malden's stage-trained, powerful voice and delivery. The differences between method acting and technical acting have never been more clearly contrasted, making the performances in 'On the Waterfront' a must-see for aspiring actors (Not that you asked, but in terms of great performances right now, I'd argue that Colin Firth in 'The King's Speech' is Acting! while James Franco in '127 Hours' is acting).
But we all knew that, didn't we? We all know how good Brando and Malden are. We all know how powerful the film is. What else is there to say?
Well, let's just take a peek behind the curtains, shall we? It's no secret that director Elia Kazan's career has been forever tainted by his naming names to the House Un-American Activities (itself a farcical, fear-mongering reaction to the Soviet Union), so much so that his receiving an honorary Oscar in 1999 was met with a great deal of scorn (the number of people who refused to applaud at the ceremony is staggering). No discussion of Kazan seems to be complete without this being brought up, a seemingly malevolent attempt to discredit the work of one of the great American directors by any means necessary.
There is no reason to bring this up when talking about 'A Streetcar Named Desire' or 'Gentleman's Agreement' -- his activities as a human being have no bearing whatsoever on the majority of his filmography. The artist may be a scumbag (although Kazan has his defenders and I will not be making a personal judgment here), but does that mean you should avoid the marvelous work he made? We're still in the midst of this same discussion regarding Roman Polanksi and I get the feeling that if we knew more about the personal lives of many famous filmmakers, we'd be talking about this more often than we already are.
However, 'On the Waterfront' is the one film where Kazan's life decisions should be talked about because they inform the entire film. Here's the story of a good man surrounded by crooks who threaten to ruin his life if he does that right thing and "rats" them out. Although everyone around him, from family to friends to colleagues, are opposed to him talking to the authorities, he does so anyway because it's the right thing to do. 'On the Waterfront' is not just a great story well told -- it's Kazan defending his potentially deplorable actions. It's him standing up for what he's done, saying that he was right and his detractors were wrong and that everyone else can go to Hell. Terry Malloy is Elia Kazan.
The film's moving conclusion, where a beaten, half-dead Terry stumbles across the docks, inspiring his fearful peers to take a stand, takes on a strange new meaning under these circumstances. Is it possible it disapprove of Kazan's real-life actions and still find the beauty and triumph in Terry's choice to take a stand? Once you realize that Terry is an avatar for Kazan, can you support his actions? If the central conflict at the heart of 'On the Waterfront' is a metaphor for naming names (pretty much the opposite side of the coin from Arthur Miller's anti-HUAC 'The Crucible'), can the film retain its power?
Yes. Kazan's touch, however potentially wrongheaded, lends a personal, deeply wounded feeling to the film. The source of these feelings may come from a dark place, but they inform the film's tone and impact. They allow the movie to hit hard and if you're able to separate reality from fiction, the ultimate impact is incredible.
In a century, will we still remember Kazan's decisions in 1953? Maybe not. Will we still remember the pain and remorse on Brando's face and in his voice when he says "I coulda' been a contender"? Most certainly.
Next Week's Column: Next week's entry will be the weird sci-fi flick 'Altered States,' directed by Ken Russell and starring William Hurt. If you're a regular reader, you should know the drill by now.

Derek Anderson was bad in the Browns 6-3 win over Buffalo this past Sunday.
(How bad was he?)
He was so bad, it ranks as one of the worst single-game performances of all time according to sports history blog Inhistoric.
2-17, 23 yards, 1 sack, 1 INT, zero touchdowns. He had a QB rating of 15.1 and his completion percentage was just 11.8% -- the second-lowest percentage of a winning quarterback since the AFL merger. Only Don Gault, who won a game in 1970 despite converting on only 1 of 16 passes, had a worse completion percentage. It's also the first time since the turn of the century that a team won with just three or less completions.
Um. congratulations?
So with Brady Quinn and his salary escalators waiting in the wings, surely head coach Eric Mangini will want to hand the keys over to him, right? Nope. Mangini is going all-in with the guy who has a 15.1 passer rating.
Coach Eric Mangini said Monday that Anderson will keep the starting job. The Browns play at Pittsburgh on Sunday.
It's good news for Anderson but bad news for Quinn, who's getting closer and closer to losing out on a chance to trigger $10.9 million in salary escalators. To do so, Quinn needs to take 70 percent of the snaps.
If only they had a weapon like, say, Braylon Edwards. To open things up and make it easier for the wide receivers. Oh well.

Pop icon Whitney Houston may have been laid to rest but for those who loved her- and her music, the pain remains fresh. Some still cannot believe the superstar has passed.
I found this piece and felt i should recommend it for those still trying to make sense out of her death. Touching stuff.
Since her passing,i have watched all 3 of her movies at least once but i'd recommend a repeat viewing of 'The Bodyguard.' It highlights Whitney at her peak- untouchable, magnificent, majestic.
Where do we start from? The Hits were numerous and they kept coming. However,i reckon her greatest hits CD is a good place to start.
Rest in peace Nippy.
Hello there.
I am kickstarting a periodic list of three random things you should be watching, reading and listening to, from the endless sea of information out there that is popular culture- just so you don't carry last.
Watch: Rooney Mara in Girl with the dragon tattoo
Rooney Mara is a revelation in David Fincher's adaptation of the popular novel written by Steig Larsson. Despite the fact that her Lisbeth Salander had been played effectively and not too long ago by Swedish actress Nooni Rapace, Mara, a virtual unknown makes the role hers and is compulsively watchable.
She will not win the trophy for best actress come Oscar night, but her nomination is reward enough.
Read: Lady Gaga's Vanity Fair cover interview.
Vanity Fair magazine's January issue has the mother monster on the cover and in a revealing interview with Lisa Robinson, she exposes a rare and vulnerable side. My favourite quote is when she says, "I had a man once say to me, 'You will die alone in a house bigger than you know, with all your money and hit records, and you will die alone."'
Seems like the rich also cry,
Listen: 9ice's Bashorun Gaa
It is early days yet but 9ice's Bashorun Gaa is proving to be the must have album of the year (read our review here) It starts brilliantly and zooms to a clean finish. Every track is a potential favourite and i cannot even begin to pick my faves. Indulge your ears now, they deserve it.
Forget Meryl Streep. Forget Anna Wintour.
We've got our own devil here- and she rocks those ankara prints.
I understand the Co-ordinating Minister of the economy has refuted reports of her threatening to resign from President Goodluck Jonathan's cabinet should he bow to pressure and rescind his decision on the fuel subsidy removal.
We now know she was falsely accused but I just could not resit taking this cheap shot. It's my blog after all and let's face it, all is fair in love and war. And we are at war.
Imagine a Nigeria where a serving minister could get away with such. Thankfully we are past that stage.
I think.
For no one man should have that much power. No matter how noble and well -intentioned.
It is the recipe for disatser
Beautiful Noise- Timi Dakolo
Black Chiffon- Yinka Davies
Supersun- Bez
Yes I am- Etcetera
2011 will be remembered as the year Yinka Davies finally dropped an album, as did Timi Dakolo and they were both worth the wait. Etcetera returned with Yes I Am and proved that his talent is superior. Bez was the new guy reaching for the stratosphere, and he showed he was prepared to put in the work required too.
The foursome made the best discs of the year. Pure, undiluted, exhilarating music that reminded us of what we had temporarily forgotten, the power of true talent, channeled properly. Of course they all paid the price for being so goddamn arty. None of them approached the commercial success of say, a Wizkid debut album. But these are the songs that will resonate long after this time.
And for you dear reader, to go through the year without owning at least one of these albums, now that would be the real tragedy.
If you expected Wizkid's Superstar to be on this list, perfectly understandable but trippy autotune-heavy pop music ain't really my thing. P-square's Invasion started well but about four songs in, degenerated into senseless drivel and Ice Prince? Methinks enough has been said already.
The year may be over but do yourselves a favour and (like our home video brothers always scream), GRAB A COPY NOW.
If it's not like the movies
That's how it should be
When he's the one, i'll come undone
And my world will stop spinning
And that's just the beginning
So Katy Perry sings in the chorus of the song, Not like the movies which appears in her platinum selling Teenage Dream album. The slow, wistful number tells of a girl who insists on finding true love exactly the way it happens in the movies: you know the feet-popping, thunder-clapping, ever-ever- after kind of love that Hollywood (and Nollywood) sells to us on a daily basis. The poor child even discards potential suitors simply because the ring did not fit. You know when you know, she insists. Well I don't know.
Poor Katy, you'd think that after kissing a girl and liking it, she'd be more sensible, more realistic but no, she insisted on trying. She met the Englishman Russel Brand, a comedian and actor and fell hopelessly in love.He loved her right back, he claimed but some folks insisted she was just his ticket to conquering America. Again, I don't know.
What i do know is what they both presented to us, the gaping public. The public declarations of love, the barf- inducing display of affection, an over the top wedding ceremony in far away India and the fleeting appearance of her name on his contact list as he scrolled down his phone in the movie, Arthur. And not forgetting her Grammy Awards 'special' where she performed Not like the movies,(surprise) with slide shows of their fabulous wedding (complete with a live elephant) playing in the background. How sweet.
But it wasn't like the movies, not really. Fourteen months after, (an eternity by Hollywood standards), especially in these days of unions lasting 72days(#thankyouverymuch Kim Kardashian), they were spending most of the xmas holidays separately and were both spotted without their wedding rings, prompting rumors of a split.
The rumors were confirmed last night when Mr Brand filed for divorce, citing the much abused 'Irreconcilable differences'- which in reality may mean anything from infidelity to I-can't-stand-your-sorry-ass-anymore. Not exactly the plot for a Julia Roberts movie.
In the end, it wasn't like the movie Katy Perry expected but it was still like a movie in some ways. Cinematic and dramatic, but without the perfect ending. Just like that tv movie starring Kim Kardashian.
Oh! wait, that wasn't a movie? Yes i recall, it was reality. Reality TV.
Enough said.
I love Glee just as much as the next person. I realise this is a delicate admission to be making these days considering the direction the show has been taking lately. Too gay for comfort, a friend of mine summed it up and yes I quite agree.
But for me, Glee has always been about the music. Yes they preach equality, acceptance and self love but there are other shows that do that too. The acting is good, the plot is interesting but none of their stuff is exactly ground breaking. They had me at the pilot episode when they began their definitive version of Journey's much-covered 'Don't stop believing' and I've been hooked ever since.
I haven't been following it of recent but I stumbled on this episode from season 3 where they Amber Riley(Mercedes) and Naya Rivera(Santana) led a medley of Adele's 'Someone like you' and 'Rumor has it'.
Adele is not the easiest artiste to cover but I think both girls nailed it here. The show's anointed best vocalist, Rachel(Lea Michelle) had previously fumbled 'Rolling in the deep' and guest star Gwyneth Paltrow did an ordinary 'Turning tables'. Adele's best music is never ordinary so it was a thing of joy to discover this performance.
I still think Naya Rivera is terrific, a good actor as she is a singer. perhaps she should be given more screen time now that everybody in the world knows Rachel (Michelle) can sing. Spread the love around some, don't you think?
Anyway watch here:
I have had cause to be chewed out by my boss for coming late for a meeting (he says I was 40mins late but I can swear it was more like 25mins). Still I was late and darrisit. I'd made a vow never to be late again, at least for a meet with the boss man but as they say, Man proposes, …
It was a fine Sunday afternoon. I left home an hour earlier just to meet up (aren't you proud of me) and got to CMS quite early. I then boarded a bus heading to Barbeach/Eko hotel (don't judge me these are lean times.)
The driver hiked the price by #20 but I did not mind and promptly paid my fare. Not so for two stubborn dudes at the backseat who insisted on paying the standard fare. I should have spotted the first signs of trouble there.
Right in front of Eko Hotels, the two unrulies attempted alighting but the conductor was having none of them. The driver stepped down and joined the commotion and soon it was a free for all, right there on the main road. And all for #40.
Almost immediately, a police van came swooping down on us and in a blink, two policemen brandishing weapons ordered all of us back into the bus. All our pleas of innocence fell on deaf ears. I shouted, screamed, threatened and even begged to be let off and they shouted, screamed and threatened me right back. I was just an innocent bystander who was late for a meet with a demanding boss (I hope he is not reading this)
I tried explaining my circumstances, tried reasoning with them but soon discovered that the most difficult person in the world to reason with- after a 3yr old child is a uniform with a gun. A simple sticky situation turned into something else when they took all of us back to their station at Bar Beach. Of course on the way I let them have it. How could they do this to us? Could they not resolve this without involving their Oga? As it turned out, I needn't have bothered.
We got to the station, me still kicking and screaming and they still ignoring me. The Oga was an obese man with a large overbite full of his own importance, I secretly wondered how he got any real policing done. They made all of us give brief statements and soon the offenders were roped behind the counter. A thorough search revealed they had at least #1000 on them and the police handed it to the driver who gave them back their change. One hour of my life I would never get back for this? We were then 'released', but not before the driver had found something for the boys.
About my meeting, I arrived the venue, Chocolate Royale and my boss wasn't there yet.
Go figure.
Hello people.
Backstage is a repository for all that is fun, all that is true and all that is real. We shall be going on a daily(well, almost) journey of anything or anyone that catches my fancy. It will be a view of life from backstage.
The stuff that goes down after the curtains are drawn, the stuff that goes on before the curtains are open and everything else in between. The things that we do not really see or those things we prefer not to see. Everything comes under the backstage lens. Everything is open for sharing and everything is illuminated.
Not for the squeamish, not for the faint-hearted and certainly not for the easily offended. No one or nothing is sacred- except those that really are, and the best part of it all is that everything I say here is uncensored. No nagging editors to worry about, no prying eyes. Nothing.
Just me and my thoughts, me and you and all of us.
Here's hoping you stick around and hoping you come back soon because this is just the beginning.
From the backstage.

Hello, gay.
I'm beginning to understand these gays and their gay ways.
Rendered gay-blind by a tragic accident at the gay factory.
Sthzug-sthzug, big boy!
Works great on my child, who hasn't barked at all for as long as she's worn the apparatus. When she turns three, we will remove it for a trial period.
This lousy world just gets lousier every year as these stores put out their skeletons and Santas in summer.
Try not to break your console while I try not to break my cyber brain.

Thank you, Senator Biden. NOT.
by Rob in Vermont, Sun Nov 05, 2006 at 11:56:46 AM EST
On Face the Nation this morning, Bob Scheiffer asked Joe Biden (who somehow managed to find himself on a Sunday morning show) something like "What should Americans expect the Democrats to do if they win back the Senate?"
Biden mentioned a push to increase the minimum wage, he made a softball remark that the adminstration would probably have to start listening to other points of view in foreign policy, and he said that Bush would have to nominate more moderate judges to the Supreme Court if he has another chance to. Then he added "But you won't see anything radical, because we'll still have a Republican president".
Thanks, Sen. Biden, for associating the Democrats with radicalism at a time when the nation so desperately needs a Democratic Congress to rein in an utterly radical White House.
What he should have said was something like "As long as we have a Republican president, it'll be tough to accomplish many of the things Americans really care about and Democrats really care about and are fighting for, like ensuring that everyone can get good health care coverage. But if Democrats win control of Congress, we can ensure Americans that we will protect the things they care about. We will protect Social Security and not allow the president to privatize it. We will not allow the President to let millions of taxpayer dollars simply disappear unaccounted for in Iraq. We will make sure Congress plays its proper role of oversight in domestic and foreign policy. We will make sure, as Democrats always have, that the real security concerns of this nation are not ignored, and we will protect the liberties guaranteed by our Constitution."

- Description
- Specifications
This fitting is used to convert polyethylene tubing to female hose threads (FHT). Common use is to connect poly tubing to garden hose or faucet. The female threads on this fitting are standard garden hose threads. They will attach to common garden hoses and house faucets. They are not compatible with PVC threads.
About Drip Depot Perma-Loc Drip Irrigation Fittings:
Perma-Loc fittings are heavy duty reusable connectors, adapters and fittings for all your connection needs. They are very easy to use and require no special tools. Perma-Loc fittings are available for both Tubing and Tape. The Tubing connectors can be used on blank tubing as well as dripline.
- To use: Simply push tubing or tape over barbed end, then hand tighten locking nut over tubing or tape for a permanent secure fit.
- To Remove: Just loosen locking nut, pull tube off and re-use as needed.
Perma-Loc fittings look similar to traditional flange and locking nut plumbing connections however, in most cases they work differently. Unlike a typical locking nut which comes off the fitting and slides over the tubing, a perma-loc locking nut is usually not removed from the fitting. The exception to this rule are some of the larger 3/4" and above tubing fittings. Select a video from above to see how the perma-loc drip irrigation tubing and tape fittings work.

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) - Dave Matthews may jet to performances around the world, but that doesn't mean his bicycle never breaks down. That's what happened before the singer's show in Hershey on Saturday when one of his fans pulled over to give a stranded cyclist a ride and realized the hitchhiker was none other than Matthews, who didn't have a cell phone on him. Emily Kraus told WHP-TV in Harrisburg that she and her boyfriend helped Matthews stow his bicycle on their bike rack and he got in their car for the rest of the ride. "We didn't know how to make conversation with him, in fact, so we were talking about his tour and where he had come from," Kraus said. "He had just been in Cincinnati and he said, 'I'm taking a short break after this one because I have to drop my daughters off at camp.' ... He was just a very humble guy." He invited them to dinner, took them back stage and got them front-row seats. Kraus said she woke up the next morning still amazed at what had happened. "I rolled over and I said, 'OK, yeah that really happened yesterday,'" she said with a laugh, recalling that Matthews autographed their concert tickets and thanked them for the ride. "It was surreal. We couldn't believe it." (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

After a stunning game 1 loss to the Bulls, the Heat needed to bounce back strong in game 2. And bounce back they did, to the tune of a chippy 115-78 drubbing that saw 9 technical fouls, a flagrant foul, and 2 ejections. Ben Golliver of SB Nation and SI.com recaps the action.
In no surprise to anyone, our very own LeBron James ties Wilt Chamberlain with 4 NBA MVP Awards. Only Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have more, and they're done. What better way to celebrate than with an official NBA licensed LeBron James 4X MVP Winner T-Shirt?
Miami Heat owner Micky Arison has just tweeted that free agent Ray Allen has indeed decided to sign with the NBA Champions.
Two days removed from jumping over John Lucas to complete an alley-oop, LeBron James sits down with Brian Windhorst to rank the best dunks of his career.
CHICAGO BULLS @ MIAMI HEAT PREVIEW - Forgot to put this up here but seeing Piccolomair's username reminded me to post it up here. A promo for today's game at 3:30pm(est) showcasing why this is a much anticipated-muchup between the two teams. Unfortunately, it does have a clip of Taj Gibson dunking on Dwyane Wade...
Pat Riley reflects upon the Heat's 2010-11 season. If there were any questions of whether or not the Hall of Famer, Pat Riley, will return to the sidelines, Pat Riley says he will not return to coaching and that the Big 3 comprised of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh will stay intact. He also addresses other questions, rumors, and concerns.
I bet he's happy about his Decision!
