Hyundai Santa Fe
I now drive a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. Is there a similar means to extract the Check Engine diagnostics without having to buy a scanner?
A: Nope. Anything built after 1996 is set up with an OBDII diagnostic system, and they wont "flash" codes. You can get your codes pull for free at your local AutoZone or O'Reillly's, but without a scan tool that shows live data you'll still be just pretty much guessing at which part to change. AutoZone will try to tell you which part you need, but they don't know crap about crap, and they're just trying to sell you a part you may or may net need. Pulling codes and swapping parts usually just ends up a waste of money and by the time you're done you usually could have paid a shop to do the diagnostics for you.
Q: Can a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited pull a two horse trailer?
Hi! I have a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited and I was wondering if it could pull a two horse trailer and any adjustments needed to be made. Thank you!
A: It could probably pull an empty 2-horse trailer without any problems, but once you fill it with 2 horses and supplies you are going to damage your truck. The Santa Fe was not designed for heavy duty pulling and it is not safe to pull so much weight for your engine, transmission or brakes. I suggest buying a used full size pickup so that you don't ruin your nice Santa Fe Limited. A large SUV like the Toyota Landcruiser or Ford Expedition could handle the job, but they are very expensive.
Q: How long will a Hyundai Santa Fe last?
I am thinking about buying a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe that has 138,000 miles on it. I would drive it from Tucson to San Diego (~800 miles round trip) at most about once every other weekend. How long do you think it will last if I do regular maintenance on it? I'm a junior in college and will need it to last me for at least four years. Does this seem like it can work?
A: Depends how the previous owner took care of the car and how you will take care of the car, Personally, I wouldn't trust a car that has more than 30k miles on it.
Q: Should I buy a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe with Front Wheel Drive?
I live in Connecticut and am considering buying a 2008 FWD Hyundai Santa Fe. Would you recommend looking into an AWD model? We do have harsh winters here and hill-like terrain. However, I have always owned FWD cars and never had any major issues in the snow. So I am thinking sticking with the FWD model in order to save cost in the sale price of the vehicle as well as saving in gas mileage would be the way to go. Any suggestions?
A: you have not had a problem stay with the FWD
Q: How to update a Hyundai Santa Fe Sat-Nav?
How do i update a Hyundai Santa Fe Sat-Nav?
How do i find the service provider on the Nav menu's?
A: Navigate the NAV menu and find out the NAV service provider. Contact them at the number given and get the updated CD to download on you NAV system. Hyundai doesn't provide updated maps because their not the provider of the software.
Second option is to find it as a pirate program on the NET. Not the best choice though.
Q: Trying to find Hyundai Santa fe Accessories?
I'm looking to customize my 2004 Hyundai Santa fe, but the problem is, is that I cant seem to find any legit websites (besides ebay) that would have accessories. I know its not the most common vehicle to customize but I want to stand out from everyone else. I know there are parts out there because I have done my research on other customized santa fe's.
Any help would be appreciated!
A: Original accessories for hyundai Santa Fe can be purchased or ordered at Hyundai Dealer. You said you want to customize your Santa Fe, to make it stand out or different from other, i suggest you go to a custimize auto shop. They can and might have different design of accessories for your Hyundai. Its better to go to customize shop rather than Hyundai dealer so you can really be different from other Hyundai santa Fe.
Q: Question about oxygen sensors on a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe?
I keep getting a check engine light on my 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, code 133, which indicates the upper oxygen sensor on the rear manifold is lazy. I've changed it twice and can drive it about a day before the light comes on again, same code. What gives here?
A: What kind of gasoline do you use? I can only go by what dealers have told me so you decide if this is correct. Every time I have changed one (other than Hyundai cars also) they ask what kind of gasoline I use and am told if I use gas with alcohol in it will cause the oxygen sensor to go bad. I now try to avoid gasoline with alcohol in it and so far no problems.
Q: How much does it cost to replace Shocks and Breaks on a Hyundai Santa Fe?
My fiance says my shocks and breaks need to be replaced on my 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. Any idea how much this is going to run me? Like $200? $500? $1000? I am stressing out over this, and Monday couldn't come fast enough for me to take it to the mechanic! I am really stressed out about this!
A: Brake Pads for all 4 axles will be about $50-100 for a quality brand. Shocks/Struts will run you about $250-400 depending on the brand you choose. Labor will be 4-5 hours at the typical $70-90 per hour. So, a minimum of $700-1000 should cover both jobs. You can find all these parts on http://www.tirerack.com http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/Susptabl.jsp?autoMake=Hyundai&autoModel=Santa+Fe+2wd&autoYear=2002&autoModClar=&brand=all
Since you have an older vehicle, I'd just go with the cheapest struts they have, a set of 4 KYB GR-2 Strut is only $228+ shipping.
Here's a list of brake pads, http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/results.jsp?autoMake=Hyundai&autoYear=2002&autoModel=Santa+Fe+2wd&autoModClar=&brand=&perfcat=premium
Satisfied Pro Perform OEM Pads are $45 for both front and rear, I'd get them since they are OEM quality.
Q: Does anyone know how to temporarily override the on-board dvd player on Hyundai's Santa Fe?
We're going on a 10+ hour trip and it would be nice for my passengers to be able to watch a video.
Now, for those safety nuts who are going to instantly respond with one shouldn't be watching a video when driving, I couldn't agree more. However, there are other people who can see the video screen.
I'm not looking for anything that would void my warranty. I'm asking any other Hyundai Santa Fe owners who might be know how to get into "Service Mode" on their units.
Thanks for any and all help!
A: Here is the truthful answer: No one knows
Q: How do I Change Hyundai Santa Fe Wiper Blades?
I just bought some more blades for my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe from Canadian Tire. I can't seem to figure out how to get the old ones off and put the new ones on. Has anyone done this before who knows how the mechanism works? I've been out in the cold working on it twice for about half an hour each time and have had no luck at all figuring it out.
A: the hyundai is a good car despite what the other person has said. to get the wiper blades off there are a couple of clips on the wiper arms. push the clip in and move the wiper arm out. then depending on how the blade is secured it should just pull out.
Q: Planning to buy a mini SUV.Should i go for the CRV,Rav,Suzuki Grand Vitara or Hyundai Santa fe?
I am planning to buy a mini SUV.I liked the CRV but the high price for both Rav and CRV.How abt the less famous ones like Suzuki Grand Vitara.I was in Australia recently i saw many Suzuki's Vitaras around i liked the styling and the 2.7 L engine than the 2.4L of the others.Another one is the Santa Fe. Hyundai seems to be making value for money cars.They have improved considerably as shown by many consumer reports studies.Having reliability comparable to Toyota's. I have a 95 model Accord which was damn reliable.And i have a soft corner for Honda CRV.But they are so costly.Hondas & Toyota's they charge a high premium for their cars.
A: Hyundai Santa Fe has really improved this last year. The 2007 model is INCREDIBLE. It is a great car with unbeatable warranty, great price and it is one of the safest mid-size SUVs out there. Check out this link for some safety info:
Q: How do I program 04 Hyundai Santa Fe remote entry fob?
I'm selling 04 Santa Fe for my 83 yr old aunt and she's lost both remotes. I've found one on ebay but need programming instructions. Thanks
A: Turn the ignition from off to on three times within five seconds (don't start the car). The indicator lights will both flash once. Then press one of the remote controller keys. Thats it.
Q: I'm all of a sudden missing the plastic roof rail cover for my 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe, can I get a replacement?
My wife and I recently noticed that one of the plastic covers was missing from the back of one of our roof rails for our 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe. Does anyone have a part number or know how we can get a replacement cover?
A: Check with the dealer, they have diagrams of the roof rack and you can point out the exact part you need. If it's too much there, you can get the part number from them and search for the part yourself on ebay and other websites.
You can also visit your local junkyard, you might get lucky and find what you are looking for very inexpensive.
Q: how to fix headlight switch on a hyundai santa fe?
My high beams work but my low beams don't on my 2003 hyundai santa fe. I checked both the bulbs and the fuses and both are good. So I'm figuring it's the switch that's gone bad. Is there a way to fix it on my own
A: Faulty relay?
Q: How much to repair deployed airbags in 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe?
I got in a minor collision and the airbags deployed in my 2001 Santa Fe there doesn't seem to be much damage just scratched bumper and door along with the hood is not aligned right any clue on how much it will cost??
I got in a minor collision and the airbags deployed in my 2001 Santa Fe there doesn't seem to be much damage just scratched bumper and door along with the hood is not aligned right any clue on how much it will cost?? During the crash there were no seat belts that were being worn.
A: There are specific items that are required replacement items when a deployment occurs or when an airbag light comes on…and there are some items that are "check only". Check out the websites below for the EXACT answers to your questions including fault code charts and reset information. This site tells you exactly what needs to be replaced and how to access them (seat belts & all) on over 3500 cars. It's a pay site ($14.95 / day), but it's little money well spent to get the correct answers and to see exactly what you're after…it uses pictures, not text, so you can see what you're looking for.
This is the same website insurance companies and body shops use to determine what needs to be replaced.
Good Luck…it's not too bad of a job & if your state allows it, used parts or parts from ebay should be ok
Lastly, here's a page in this site that tells you which cars need a scan tool to reset the system and which ones can be done without it.

Stadium Upgrade
The Wanderers Stadium was privileged to stage the Cricket World Cup 2003 Final. The match, which was dominated by Australia, will be remembered by the 34 000 capacity crowd as a display of colour that was unique in the 47 year history of the Wanderers Stadium. The six weeks of Cricket World Cup 2003 including preliminary matches and culminating in the final, was a unique opportunity to demonstrate to the world the organisational capabilities and facilities of our country and the Board. The Wanderers Stadium now has a number of important facilities, including a new electronic scoreboard, high quality PA system, integrated CCTV, top class broadcast centre and an efficient ticketing system. A total amount of R11.6-million was spent on stadium upgrade.

It's a plan the North and East Development Commission calls exciting. The commission says they want to empower a community that has been struggling, business wise, for years.
East Lubbock businessman Floyd Brown had to close his dream business, an ice cream shop, about one month ago. "We tried and we tried! We paraded out there, tap danced, we did all we could to bring business in. But it didn't work," he said.
Brown says the reason his dream melted away is because the community did not embrace his new business. John Hall has been working for nine months on a vision for North and East Lubbock. He feels he has a plan and a target to jump start the business economy in East Lubbock. It is a retail shopping center with convenient shops and restaurants next to the Patterson Library on Parkway Drive.
"We wanted to bring a particular good and service that is unique. Want it to be a service that only this area will provide that people from other parts of Lubbock will come and say 'I want to spend my time and money in East Lubbock," said Hall.
This could be the support Brown needs to keep a business alive. While his doors where open, he did not only serve ice cream but dinner too. He catered to those in search of that unique food. Chitlins. A popular Southern delicatessen. "You can't hardly find them now. They love them once you eat them. The black people figured out how to cook them just right, clean them just right, they're very good," said Brown.
Brown may had to lock the doors on his dream for now, but not for good. He is hopeful the North and East Development project will turn this business ghost town upside down.
Hall says he has been talking to a couple of businesses that are interested in moving to the East side. However, he would not reveal what they are. But we may get a better understanding next month, when the whole proposal goes before city council for approval.

I felt so sick to my stomach yesterday after the game. Now we were looking at two back-to-back losses, and we'd just lost to the now 3-7 Kansas City Freaking Chiefs!?!
There was some consolidation at the end of the day, however. The Bengals also lost yesterday to the hapless Oakland Raiders, and we're still in the thick of things for a playoff spot even if we don't win the division.
The Broncos lost their fourth in a row and are now 6-4. We hold the tie-breaker over them since we beat them on Monday Night Football.
The Dolphins are a game behind us at 5-5. That will be an important match-up against them at the end of the season for the Steelers. That may decide whether we make the playoffs or not.
Baltimore, fortunately, fell to 5-5 with a loss to the Colts. We face them next week in prime-time. That will be a HUGE game for both teams, and you know that the Ravens will come out with a fury on both sides of the ball.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 6-4 like us and fighting for a fifth or sixth seed since there's little chance that the Colts will lose the division now at 10-0.
Right now, San Diego leads the AFC West at 7-3 with a win over the Broncos. The good thing there, is that if the Broncos reclaim the lead, and the Chargers fall later in the season, we also hold a tie-breaker against them. I would rather see the Chargers keep winning though, especially in their Week-15 game against the Bengals. The Broncos still have a very tough schedule ahead (They play the Giants, Colts and Eagles through the next six weeks), and could very well miss the playoffs after staring the season 6-0. I'm sure there is turmoil in that locker room.
I still like the Steelers chances at winning a playoff spot, but they certainly didn't help themselves with a loss to the Chiefs. With a win, they might have still been able to win the division. Mathematically, it's not out of the question, yet, but still unlikely.

President of the Rent Stabilization Association: Joseph Strasburg
The Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) will be making a highly debated decision next week in regards to a percentile increase of rent stabilized apartments. Although this vote takes place every year, this year's decision has been exceptionally publicized due to a potential rent freeze. Bill de Blasio, the first mayor to ever run on the platform of a rent freeze, may come through on his promise—considering that over half the board has been given a seat via his appointment. Although the board favors implementation of the first rent freeze in NYC history, the Rent Stabilization Association (RSA) has other ideas.
Mayor de Blasio has so far stayed in consistency with his plan to create more affordable housing here in NYC. One method of making NYC a more affordable city would be pursuing a renters' freeze of regulated rents. The Rent Guidelines Board, which is comprised of nine people, had five seats on this board that were recently up for re-appointment or new appointments in March. De Blasio had finally filled these five of the nine seats. The other four seats left for re/new-appointment will be filled in December 2014.
Source: CoreLogic
It seems New Yorkers are on the right track. Back in 2010, the risk of default for renters applying for apartments was at a mundane 98 for 2 bedroom apartments, and close to 99 for 1 bedroom apartments. Being as numbers below 100 increases the risk of default for applicants, New Yorkers were in a position - financially - of having property managers more readily deny their applications. According to CoreLogic, in a short two year period this risk of default has dramatically changed.
We talk about the renter's market here at the Luxury Rentals Manhattan blog the way that older men in bars talk about their high school football days, but we do so for a reason -- those were good times to be in the market for Manhattan rental apartments. Not only were rents down -- or, at the very least, flat -- but concessions abounded from the bottom of the market to the top. As the renter's market has receded during the NYC rental market's return to form, those concessions have become harder nad harder to find. They're still out there, of course -- there are plenty of no-fee rental listings in Manhattan and, oddly enough, concessions are still available to find at new construction luxury rentals such as The Ohm and 808 Columbus Avenue -- but concessions have been harder and harder to come by in recent months, despite widespread hopes that there would be a concession bounce-back in the fall. Just-released fourth-quarter statistics make it plain -- the last few months have seen the number of concessions fall by more than half from where they were in January of 2010 and are roughly a third of what they were at the end of 2009. Good news for landlords, in short, but less so for those hunting for Manhattan rental apartments. Combine this with a bump in rents and a low vacancy rate, and it's hard to find a silver lining in all this. Luckily, it's out there.
Time flies when you're writing about real estate. It seems like only a few months ago that we had a post at the Luxury Rentals Manhattan blog entitled "Sad Landlords, Happy Renters." And that's because, as it turns out, it was only a few months ago -- it was only April that the renter's market for Manhattan rental listings was that robust. Since then, though, things have changed -- as the Manhattan real estate market has returned to health, the concessions, incentives and price breaks that defined the renter's market in Manhattan real estate have largely fallen by the wayside. This was already starting to happen back in May, and by late August we were writing mournful posts with titles like "Vacancies Down, Rents Up On NYC Apartments." The lessons of all this? For one, we obviously like that particular style of headline construction. But for another, despite the fact that there are still no-fee apartment listings and good deals on Manhattan rental apartments to be found out there, things have been trending in landlords' direction for some time. That doesn't make it any more exciting to read the New York Times' recent rundown of that situation, but it does at least make things less surprising. Good news, bad news, after the jump.
We've been writing about the renter's market in Manhattan rentals here at Luxury Rentals Manhattan for months now, but much of what we've been writing about the renter's market has been about its imminent end. Is it here yet? How about now? Maybe while we were at lunch? The answer to those (incessant) questions remains more or less the same: the market for rental apartments in Manhattan is still tilted towards renters, but it appears to be in the midst of a return to the mean. Which in turn means, as the New York Post reports today, that it's increasingly tough for NYC dwellers to get the sort of concessions on Manhattan rentals that they routinely received during the heyday of the renter's market. Using Clinton luxury rental success story 505 West 37th as a test case, the Post's Katherine Dykstra reports that while concessions are down, the market is not totally back to its boom-era levels.
If the classic rent-versus-buy debate in Manhattan real estate were a building, instead of a debate, it would be pre-war. But as old as that debate is -- and as academic as it is rendered by the high price of a Manhattan condo and the comparatively advantageous market for Manhattan luxury rentals -- it's worth remembering that renting in Manhattan isn't just for those who can't afford to buy in Manhattan. Let's take Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill, for instance.
The Manhattan real estate market is a volatile and complicated thing. Given that you're almost certainly at Luxury Rentals Manhattan because you're searching for a rental apartment in Manhattan, you already know about the "complicated" part. But the volatility of the NYC rental market is what makes Manhattan real estate such a fascinating thing. Well, that volatility and the volatility of NYC real estate market watchers, who tend to freak out about even the smallest bit of real estate news. The Wall Street Journal's recent report that Manhattan rents rose 0.9% in the first quarter of 2010 is one such bit of real estate news, but the freakout it has precipitated is not entirely uncalled for. The rise in Manhattan rental prices was the first such bump in NYC rents in five quarters, and has Curbed, among other websites, wondering if the long renter's market on Manhattan rental apartments is drawing to a close. So, is it?

Griffin And Jarvis Secure Golden Bibs In Australia New Zealand Cup (16-Sep-10)
Methven, New Zealand, September 16, 2010 - Ben Griffin this week was crowned
Ben Griffin (Ohakune) this week was crowned the Overall, Super G, Super Combined and Giant Slalom winner in the 2010 Australia-New Zealand Cup (ANC) series.
Sarah Jarvis (Whakapapa) was crowned the women's Overall and Giant Slalom winner, and Taylor Rapley (Queenstown) is the Golden Bib winner in Super G and Super Combined.
By virtue of their ANC titles, all three New Zealand athletes have earned the right to start as number 31 in all other Continental Cup races in the coming year if they are not already ranked in the top 30 in the world.
In the New Zealand National Alpine Championships, Griffin and Jarvis were named the Overall 2010 NZ National Alpine Championship winners. They were followed very closely by two juniors -- Adam Barwood (Queenstown) and Rapley.
Snow Sports New Zealand Alpine Manager James Lazor said, "It's great to see the juniors vying for the overall position. It shows that we have some talent coming up through the system. Additionally, we would like to thank Kneissl for supporting the NZ National Alpine Championships."
Griffin's season was highlighted by his second place finish in the Giant Slalom at the Air New Zealand Japanese FIS Southern Cup race at Coronet Peak in August. The podium spot was a record success for Griffin, propelling him into the top 125 in the world and the country's best world ranking position in 20 years.
The Super G National Championship races were also taken out by Griffin and Rapley.

Why are we there?
- Health care exclusion
- Mental health
Our work
This is an excerpt from MSF-USA's 2012 Annual Report:
Some 200,000 Syrians sought refuge in Lebanon in 2012, a number that had more than quadrupled by the start of 2014). Then and now, many have been unable to access the care they need.
In 2012, some 63 percent of unregistered refugees had received no assistance whatsoever, according to an MSF study. Many lived (and still live) in overcrowded, substandard structures and cannot afford medical care.
MSF offered basic care and mental health services in the north and east, working at six health facilities in the Bekaa valley.
When winter neared, MSF distributed blankets, hygiene kits, milk, and diapers. Staff provided mental health support as well.
One MSF team provided basic health care, treatment for chronic diseases, and mental health services in Tripoli's Dar Al-Zahra hospital.
Another provided mental health care and trained emergency room staff in Tripoli's government hospital. Near the end of the year, MSF started offering basic health services in the city's poorest and most volatile neighborhoods, too.
In several locations, MSF provided mental health services to Palestinian refugees in overcrowded camps that had further swelled with the arrival of Palestinians who'd been living in Syria.
MSF handed over mental health services at the Burj el-Barajneh camp after holding more than 17,5000 consultations over four years. Staff also coordinated a trauma care course for doctors and nurses throughout the country.
At the end of 2012, MSF had 81 staff in Lebanon. MSF first worked in the country in 1976.
Patient story
Sami*, 31-year-old Syrian man, Bekaa valley
"We come from the Damascus countryside. We arrived in Lebanon 15 days ago. We fled under shelling with only the clothes we were wearing, when we felt we were about to die. My two nephews, aged four and six, were both killed, and my sister-in-law was wounded. My mother suffers from hypertension and my father is blind.
We are now renting a flat in Baalbeck. The city is full of Syrian refugees. We have only a mat and a few mattresses. It's cold, we need fuel for heating, and we don't have money to pay the rent. I cannot find work, life here is expensive, and we need four bread bundles a day.
It is the first time I have been to the MSF clinic. I learned about it when I saw a banner announcing a mobile clinic. Too many people were waiting their turn two days ago so I was told to come back today.
My wife is six months pregnant. I brought her to see the doctor because she has been through so much fear and horror. She is feeling some pain in her womb, but the doctor reassured us that everything was going well, it is only cramps. He also examined my mother and gave her the drugs she needs for her hypertension and ulcer.
My wife was refused a consultation at a local clinic because we are not yet registered with the UN refugee agency. The main problem we are facing for registration is that we are lost. We do not know where to find the registration offices. We were told to go to Al-Marj, 50 kilometers from Baalbeck. With my family we are 10 people – can you imagine me taking all of them so far for registration, in the cold, in their state of health?"
*The man's name has been changed.

First, Kenny Anderson did it in 1981-1982.
Now Andy Dalton has done it in 2011-2012.
Not especially interesting in and of itself, but the number they wore when they did so is interesting.
Kenny Anderson wore number 14 when the Bengals last went to the playoffs 2 years in a row. No QB wore that number in the intervening 30 years until it was assigned to Andy Dalton. In Dalton's first 2 years wearing number 14 the Bengals made the playoffs.
I read that some people were calling Andy Dalton the second coming of Kenny Anderson, and now the fact that they've both done something no other Bengals QB has done while wearing the same number lends a little more credence to that theory.
It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.

Paying for data speed vs amount
3G used to be sooooooo fast, but now it isn't. HSPA+ used to be sooooooo fast, now it isnt. LTE will suffer the same fate.
But in reality, advertised 3G speeds are pretty fast for anything you're doing on a mobile device. The network congestion just slows things down for everyone.
To ease that, why not just pay for a data speed similar to how cable companies have it. I'd rather be getting 14Mbps consistently than getting 3Mbps when I'm paying for the advertised 25Mbps
Some pricing: (all unlimited)
5Mbps - $10
10Mbps - $15
so on and so on.. y'all get the point.
Anyone else prefer that?

A man was shot and killed while attempting to rob a Salisbury restaurant, according to officials.
The incident happened at the China Buffet on North Arlington Road, which is off of East Innes Street, around 9:05 p.m. Tuesday.
Officials said that an off-duty Rowan County Sheriff's Deputy, 41-year-old John L. Kempf, shot and killed a man that was attempting to rob the restaurant.
Officials said that the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kempf was hired by the Sheriff's Office in May 2013, and was assigned to the Rowan County Detention Center. He is currently in a probationary status, since he has been employed by the department for less than a year.
Investigators said the gun Kempf used to shoot the alleged robber was his Rowan County issued Glock.
The Sheriff's Office said Wednesday that evidence they have reviewed "leads our office to conclude that Deputy Kempf acted in a manner consistent with his training and the laws of the State of North Carolina."
Police officers with guns drawn were walking through the parking lot and searching workers leaving the restaurant after the shooting.
The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident. The Rowan County Sheriff's Office also came to the scene to assist Salisbury Police.
Officials have not released the name of the man who was killed.

Also, since my college team of choice enjoyed yet another glorious season of losing (in one of the weakest major conferences in NCAA history I might add) the little time I have watched has been spent mostly watching other teams. If we were judged on picking the first two rounds, ya'll would be in trouble against me. When the games get important, my picks are clutch like Rod Strickland in the 91 Western Conference Finals.

The Titans released a statement Wednesday night in which Adams said Young won't be on the team's roster next season, but he's still evaluating the coaching staff, including head coach Jeff Fisher. Adams says he wishes things had worked out better, but he thinks it's best for the franchise to move on without Young.
After dealing with so much turmoil in Tennessee, VY is going to be looking for a new job. I think it's best for both parties especially with the lack of support he seemed to be getting from Fisher. VY has some maturing to do, but he has the tools to still be a solid, if not great, quarterback. I hope he lands somewhere where he will be more appreciated and his talents better utilized. Hook 'em Vince!

Understanding the Data in the State & Congressional Tables
The data used to create these estimates are based on the most recent available IRS and Congressional District information. Two factors are important for the reader to keep in mind:
1. 2010 Congressional District Lines. The Congressional District data are drawn from the districts as they existed in 2010. While the general shape of the new district lines is known, not enough detail down to the zip code level is available for CDA to produce tax estimates based on new district lines.

UPDATE: Its seems to be a no go turning my schott matte black. I dont know what kind of protective coating they use but its strong.
I tried rubbing alcohol first, then dish soap and water, nothing. Then I gambled on the little hanger tag piece of leather on the inside of the jacket with my sisters 100% acetone for nails that didnt even do anything!
This is a good thing I guess I do like matte leather, but it has its downfalls of looking either fake or not even like a leather jacket and just a coat look to it. So the downfalls of the shine is practically nothing especially since it protects it that much.
Sandblasting, are you serious?
i really like the idea of subjecting this jacket to every manner of abuse until it's no longer shiny. it could be part of your morning ritual between brushing your teeth and reading the paper
The jacket being shiny is not a big deal, I like matte leather so if it was a simple wipe down with alcohol or water/dish soap, then okay. Since it is not simple Im okay with it. I didn't buy thinking damn this jacket would only appeal to me if was matte black. I dont have money to waste for a risk like that.
PS, reading the paper its like reading a shitty book the size of a poster, makes me uncomfortable to read from something so big with such small words. So I dont read the paper in my morning routine.

Greenville County Deputies said that the suspect wanted in connection with a shooting and manhunt is now in behind bars.
Patrick Dean Lowrance, 25 of Duncan, was taken peacefully at Mooremont Avenue in Greenville county, and hospitalized for a gunshot wound to the left shoulder. He stayed overnight on Friday, and has been taken into custody at Greenville County Detention Center. He will face a bond judge Sunday morning.
Lieutenant Tim Ridgeway said that they got a tip Lowrance in a house at 105 Mooremont Avenue. When deputies arrived, his wife was there and he appeared to be waiting for deputies.
Greenville Police Chief Terri Wilfong identified the suspect of Friday's manhunt that prompted the lockdown of 10 schools. Deputies said the suspect is connected to a previous carjacking and armed robbery.
Wilfong said the suspect was Lowrance earlier Friday. She said there are previous arrest warrants out for Lowrance from Greenville County for kidnapping, attempted murder, robbery and possession of a firearm charges.
Greenville County Schools said a lock down prompted by a search for a man who police said fired shots at a police officer Friday have been lifted.
FOX Carolina's Adrian Acosta spoke with Lowrance's family who said they were cooperating with law enforcement to every extent possible.
Lowrance's mother Verbina Creamer said she has not seen her son since Tuesday and last spoke with him via text message on Wednesday.
"Patrick, wherever you are, please turn yourself in," said Creamer. "If you are hurt, you need medical attention. Do know your family loves you and want you to do the right thing."
Following Lowrance's arrest, his family released this statement to FOX Carolina:
"We are glad Patrick is safe. We are also glad he listened to his family and agreed to turn himself in to the authorities."
Stolen tag leads to shooting, manhunt
According to Greenville Police Public Information Officer Alia Urps, an officer was completing a routine tag check in the parking lot off of the Comfort Inn at 2756 Laurens Road around 9 a.m. when she saw a GMC Yukon SUV with a tag registered to a Honda Accord.
Wilfong said the officer went into the manager's office to see who the car belonged to. While in the office, the officer saw the suspect get into the car.
Urps said the officer followed the car, beginning chase to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle would not stop. The chase was ended because it was a simple traffic violation. The vehicle got off on the Mauldin Road exit of Interstate 85 towards Mauldin.
The officer alerted other officers of the vehicle description, who began searching for the vehicle in residential and apartment complex areas, according to Urps.
Urps said that a female officer then spotted the same car around 9:30 a.m. at Berkeley Pointe Apartment complex off of Mauldin Road. The officer proceeded to search the breezeway near where the car was parked, when someone exited the stairwell and started firing shots at the officer. She said the officer took cover and returned fire.
Lowrance fled the scene, and that was when the massive manhunt began, Wilfong said. She said no one was hurt during the shooting.
Wilfong urged anyone who notices anything suspicious in the area to call 911 immediately. She said a reverse-911 call was placed to the area affected by the manhunt to notify residents of the search.
Wilfong said they searched a heavily wooded area near the old Hitatchi plant along Mauldin Road. She said there are plenty of places for someone to hide, so it is taking officers a while to complete the search.
Greenville County deputies said they are assisting in the search. Wilfong said two deputies were injured when a search dog bit them, but their injuries were not serious.
Wilfong said that the K-9 units did their jobs, tracking the Lowrance's trail until he left the wooded area. She said they believed someone helped him get away in a vehicle.
Wilfong asks anyone with information to contact law enforcement because Lowrance is considered armed and dangerous.
The original suspect description was a black male, between 30 and 35 years old, wearing gray pants and a gray shirt. He has long hair pulled back into a ponytail. The man was believed to be armed.
Spartanburg county carjacking suspect
Wilfong said the stolen tag and vehicle that prompted the chase was taken in a carjacking in Spartanburg county.
According to a Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office deputy report, the suspect approached two victims at the Micro Tell Inn in Duncan on Oct. 9 and stole their 2006 gray Denali SUV.
The report said the suspect was carrying a tech-9 gun and was wearing all black and a black mask. The victim told FOX Carolina that he also stole $5,000 in cash and jewelry.
Greenville county armed robbery suspect
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said that Lowrance was also the suspect in an armed robbery on Oct. 23.
According to deputies, Lowrance entered the Wendy's on 30 Henrydale Avenue a little before 11:30 p.m., made three victims get down on the floor and demanded to know where the safe was kept and who had the combination.
Deputies said Lowrance made the victims leave the business, and approached the manager who had the combination. The manager tried to drive away and Lowrance fired several rounds towards her vehicle.
According to Sgt. Matthew Armstrong, Lowrance demanded the three re-enter the restaurant, but they could not because the door was locked. He fired shots at them but they were able to flee on foot uninjured.
The manager and three victims were able to get away unharmed and nothing was stolen in the incident, according Armstrong.
Lowrance was charged with one count of attempted armed robbery, one count of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, four counts of attempted murder, three counts of kidnapping, and one count of criminal conspiracy on Oct. 27.
Deputies said that Lowrance is approximately 5-feet, 8-eight inches tall and weighs 160 pounds.
Manhunt prompts lockdowns
Officials with Greenville County Schools sent a message was sent to parents with students affected by the manhunt (click here to read the message).
Afternoon, evening classes and events at Greenville Technical College's Barton Campus were canceled because of the search. The college said it was still under a lock down.
Virginia College said its campus was released from lock down.
The Patrick Center, a special needs facility run by the Greenville County Disabilities and Special Needs Board, was also released from lock down.
Mauldin Christian Academy said it released students to parents only after they were identified at the door.

OK....so we know Kirilenko plays with the #47 shirt and has been nicknamed "AK47"....well guess what. We have the home grown American equivalent of the AK47 rifle and that is called the AR15:
We also have a young gifted Assault Weapon of our own in Anthony Randolph seems to be the perfect fit to me!
So I am as of today nicknaming the boy "AR15"...Tony I am sure could whistle up something for us!! ;)
I wonder if there could be any chance to switch Beans out of the #15 shirt? :)
Fingers crossed he will get more time VERY soon, if Harrington wants to play sulky child!

Syria's Justice Ministry has dismissed a report alleging mass torture and killing by the government as "politicized" depicting the shocking photos in the document "fake".
"The Justice Ministry completely denies the veracity of the report," Syrian state news agency SANA quoted the ministry as saying in a statement on Wednesday.
"It is a politicized report that lacks objectivity and professionalism," the ministry said.
The comments came in response to the publication of a report alleging the "industrial-scale" torture and murder of 11,000 detainees by the Syrian government.
The report put together by a British law firm and commissioned by Qatar which backs the Syrian militants.
Syria also dismissed the photographic evidence as false.
"Anyone who works in the field of criminal investigation can tell that these photos are fake and bear no relation to prisoners or detainees in Syrian prisons," the ministry said.
The statement said some of those in the photos were "foreign terrorists" killed during attacks on government forces, and others had been killed or tortured to death by "armed terrorist groups".
"Syrian prisons... are in accordance with internationally recognized best standards of justice," the statement added.
The ministry said the report, which was released two days before the start of Syrian peace talks in the Swiss town of Montreux, was intended "to undermine efforts to bring peace to Syria".
Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. According to reports, Western powers and their regional allies - especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey - are supporting the militants operating inside the country.

Mike Wallace had seven receptions for 112 yards and two touchdowns during the Pittsburgh Steelers' loss to the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Wallace was targeted 11 times as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made his return from a serious rib injury.
Wallace went over 100 yards receiving for just the second time this season, and the first time since Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders. He had multiple touchdown receptions for the first time this season.
Fantasy Impact: Wallace struggled mightily when Roethlisberger was forced to the sidelines for three weeks. He was an immediate beneficiary of the starting quarterback's return, catching touchdown passes of 40 yards and 11 yards.
Fantasy owners should temper their enthusiasm for Wallace's big day a little bit going forward. Wallace was a boom-or-bust fantasy option even before Roethlisberger was hurt. His fantasy prospects certainly look much better going forward than they did a week ago, however. Consider Wallace a safe WR2/Flex option.

Tired of my son clomping into the house in his workboots and tracking snow and mud throughout, I ordered him a pair of slippers similar to the ones shown which my husband wears. I figured he could switch into them in the laundry room when he comes in, as I do with my Crocs. Because I had a bunch of discount coupons and because it was on sale, I ordered a final place setting of Fiestaware along with the slippers.
The Fiestaware arrived in a timely fashion, but no slippers. After a few more days' wait, I emailed customer service, which auto-responded that someone would contact me within 24 hours. Lo and behold, the package arrived the next day, before I even heard back. I hadn't told John about the slippers, and as he was home I just carried in the box and said, "You can open this, I got you some slippers", and went back to making supper. A few minutes later a confused voice said, "Mom, these aren't slippers..."
But they were a pair of size 6 1/2 faux snakeskin high heels!
Literally minutes after the shoes arrived, I recieved the promised email from customer service assuring me that the slippers would arrive the following day. I e'd back that the package had arrived, and explained the mix-up, and that I'd like to return the heels and wait for the slippers. The friendly and apologetic rep said that I would be credited for the slippers, but they could not take back the high heels- I could keep them or do what I would with them. Well, since neither K nor I could squeeze into them even if we wore heels, I will just donate them, which will make some girl very happy.
Apparently the slippers were not in stock anymore from this store which will remain anonymous (I am otherwise a very satisfied custoer), so I ended up ordering from L.L. Bean instead. Happy ending- they arrived this evening, and J's feet are now encased in their comfy-ness, and hopefully my floors will be the cleaner for it.

We all love Arsenal for their beautiful game. We love the passing, we love the movement. We revel in the sheer joy of a swift Arsenal counter-attack that leads to a glorious goal. Ok, Ok, so the counter attack goals have all been against us since the Theo Walcott run in the Champions League, 2008. The fact is, where all of Britain slags off the Arsenal and how they can only play beautiful and have no Plan B, or are just a bunch of sissies, we applaud it, and support it through thick and thin.
Now imagine that it's the Champions league group stage. And Arsenal seems to be sitting back more. Felipe Melo has been bought, and Arsenal sit deep with Melo and Song protecting the back four with their lives. They still have more possession than their opponents, but they pass along the back four most the game, and it seems, well... dull. But they win, and progress.
There are few supporters bemoaning Wenger for the 'boring' and 'dull' approach in the CL. They claim this Arsenal side lacks invention, and abandoning his theory of beautiful football, the football we have grown to love. But the rest of us point to new-found defensive solidarity. "Look at the clean sheets! and we still have over 50% possession!" They can turn the beauty on when other sides decide to play against us, just wait and see!"
So the playoff legs come, and the Round of 16 is more of the same, with a comfortable win against a lesser opponent. In comes the Quarter-finals, and the powerhouse Internationale come to town. Fans are reveling in the prospects of this potential classic matchup, but those other supporters predict a boring, cagey and defensive game. The game begins and Inter look a shoe-in to win the tie with some very suspect defending at the back, and a wonder save keeping the game close. No not Almunia. Only a 2nd half coming back wins the tie, all thanks to a freak own-goal. Most post-game chatter by Wenger on how the team is playing well, despite not playing the typical Arsenal way, which is pass-pass-pass it into the net. Supporters are elated that such a strong team has been beat, but still fear their beautiful game is a thing of the past.
A semi-finals versus surprising Athletico Madrid comes next, and the fans can taste the finals. A screamer of a goal seems to have the tie in hand, but Diego Forlan has other Ideas. It's another cagey match in which Arsenal capitalize on a couple headers from the unlikely sources of Nasri and Walcott, but a late goal in injury time conceded give the fans a nervy ending the the game.
The finals is versus Barcelona. On paper it's a mouth-water game. Two club notorious for their beautiful passing game, for the speed at which they can attack, and from a history of great players playing for their club. Every begs for a classic game that these two sides could ideally produced. The Arsenal blogs however are fret with how we will play the Catalans. Will we try to out pass them? Seems highly unlike since the Gunners haven't done this the whole Champions League. Sit back and hit on the counter? Or press high anddeny space? The worry of beautiful football is in the background - but with the thought of Silverware of this magnitude, one we have never won - those worries are left there.
The much hyped final arrives, and Barcelona start on the front foot, pressuring Arsenal in their own half, carving out chances. After near-goals, Wenger decides that sitting back is madness and attempt to press Barca all over the pitch. However, Arsenal players seem to struggle with the pace and movement of the Catalans, and Melo should've seen red. Cards are flying everywhere, mostly to the Gunners, but the score remains tied. The 2nd half comes and and Arsenal should've scored, but somehow contrive not to. Extra time is needed. The commentators are slagging the Arsenal players for their late challenges, and 'thuggery,' condemning them for the exactly same tackles that they applaud and defend by clubs like Stoke and Birmingham. The irony comes when a dive decides to bring Arsenal to 10 men, and Barcelona manage a goal shortly after to win the Champions league, and the Arsenal players and fans alike in tears.
In the aftermath, the media is full of Barcelona praise, and full of criticism of Arsenal's brash and hard tackles. They question what happened to the beautiful game Arsenal used to play, and how it got to intentional fouling to keep up to Barcelona.
The Arsenal fans meanwhile, they ask amongst themselves this. Was reaching the finals and being one unlucky break away from winning the title worth sacrificing THEIR style of game? Their style of game, in which they were beat with? Do Gunner fans sit and stand proud at how their club fought to the death, and almost accomplished the ultimate goal? Or do we sit with heavy hearts at being sooo close and losing both the title game, and their image in the world of football?
Now all you do me a favor and replace the Arsenal in this story with the Dutch.
This is the strife of a Dutch Arsenal fan.

"There's nothing to do in Fargo."
This is a statement I've heard countless times while growing up in Fargo, from middle school onward. It's a widely held belief, but a sharply erroneous one. For years, I believed it until I was exposed to the Arts & Entertainment scene in Fargo-Moorhead, and I must say, this belief could not be more false.
Here is why. The first thing needed when finding A&E events in Fargo is a knowing where to look. We have concerts, plays, musicals, operas, recitals, restaurants, art shows and other events coming out of our ears here in Fargo. But to go to these, you have to know about them first.
The many established entertainment venues in Fargo all have websites, from Theatre B to NDSU Fine Arts to the Fargodome. Yeah, finding something to do in Fargo involves a little work on your part, but hey, it's worth it. You can hardly say there's nothing to do in Fargo if you've made no attempt to find something. We're very arts-rich here. We have theatre productions. We have art shows. We have concerts. All of which are on a weekly basis.
Multiple area theatre companies throng The Stage at Island Park with productions every year. There are usually one or two shows a month at this downtown venue, home of the Fargo- Moorhead Community Theatre. When there's nothing going on at The Stage, it's a sure bet there's something at one of the three college companies (NDSU, Minnesota State University Moorhead or Concordia College), Theatre B (another downtown theatre venue) or an area high school.
A&E in Fargo doesn't stop there. The Fargodome always has some heavy-hitting acts lined up on its calendar, and in seven weeks this year, Fargo was visited by top acts ranging from Lady Antebellum to TobyMac to Pink. Even Justin Timberlake penciled us in for his 20/20 Experience Tour this year, and Katy Perry's calling on us in August. Fargo's on the map for concert tours; there's no doubt about that.
Another aspect of A&E in Fargo: restaurants. We are not lacking for eateries here, especially downtown. Restaurants are bursting out of the brick fronts on Broadway, and there's something for every taste — Mexican at Juano's, Italian at Mezzaluna, sweets at Nichole's Fine Pasty, pizza at Sammy's Pizza and more.
Coffee shops and bars also riddle the streets in downtown Fargo. While there are definitely better things to do than drink a weekend away, it's always an option and our status as the drunkest city in America was not earned without cause. Obviously some people have found a good time.
Now to address some other fun options on the A&E scene in Fargo; there are bands, orchestras and choirs. As if the area's three colleges don't offer enough, we have the F-M Symphony, the Great Plains Harmony Men's Chorus, the F-M Gay Men's Chorus; the list goes on. There's no lack of music in Fargo-Moorhead, end of story.
Art also has its place on the A&E scene in Fargo and in Moorhead with the Plains Art Museum, Rourke Art Museum and the numerous galleries in downtown Fargo lining Broadway. Crafting has no shortage of outlets either, as several craft supply stores have their places downtown too.
Clearly there are many things to do in Fargo. After knowing all this, my mind is boggled as to how this myth that there is "nothing to do in Fargo" even got started. There is plenty of fun to be had in Fargo and on any night of the week.
It also helps to keep an open mind when planning a night on the town or your next date. Go to a musical. Go to an art show. Expand your horizons, expose yourself to new things and break out of your comfort zone. Yeah, many of the events in Fargo do cost a bit of dough, but a little advance planning and saving can take care of any fiscal fears.
With that, I highly recommend venturing out into the sea of A&E that is Fargo-Moorhead. Every night of the week there is something going on, from poker to karaoke, plays to chamber orchestra, jazz bands to art shows and ballet to opera. There's no excuse for this myth of nothing to do in Fargo, and experiencing the A&E scene firsthand should shatter this belief for anyone willing to try.

Our final photograph is a melanoma tumor that is large and had gotten bigger over time -- a key characteristic of a melanoma tumor. If you see any suspicious skin lesion, especially one that is new or changed in size, contact your doctor.
Remember, melanoma can be cured if detected early, unlike many cancers. So knowing your risk factors and communicating them to your doctor may help you make more informed lifestyle and healthcare choices. If you have multiple moles or other risk factors, it is important that you perform regular self examinations of your skin, see a dermatologist for regular examinations, and protect yourself from the sun.

The South Carolina Stingrays (7-11-0-2) erased a three-goal deficit, but fell to the Reading Royals (11-5-0-1) 5-4 in the shootout at Sovereign Center Wednesday night. Forwards Hunter Bishop,Chris Langkow and defenseman Tommy Cross each scored a goal and an assist.
The Royals grabbed the first goal of the game at 6:44 of the opening period when forward Kirk MacDonald lifted a shot over the glove of Stingrays goaltender Adam Morrison (SOL, 23 saves on 27 shots) from the top of the right-wing circle. Forward Evan Barlow made it 2-0 at 12:44.
Defenseman Denny Urban gave the Royals a three-goal lead at 7:08 of the second period with his seventh goal of the season. The Stingrays jumped on the board seconds later when Langkow fired a pass from forward Matthew Pistilli between the legs of Royals netminder Philipp Grubauer (W, 27 saves on 31 shots) at 7:41. Defenseman Kevin Quick added the second assist. Stingrays team captain Shawn Wellerpulled the game within one at 17:33 with his sixth tally of the season from Pistilli and Langkow. Reading reclaimed a two-goal advantage with Barlow's second marker of the game at 17:44. The Stingrays responded moments later with a blast by Bishop from the right-wing circle with help from defensemen Ryan Turek and Cross at 18:26.
Cross forced overtime and eventually the shootout with the game-tying goal at 10:56 of the third period ripping a wrist shot over the glove of Grubauer. Bishop claimed the only assist.
In the shootout, Pistilli and forward Daniel Koger lit the lamp for the Stingrays, but the Royals slipped three past Morrison for the victory. The Stingrays finished the game 0-for-5 on the power play while the Royals went 0-for-3.

Are you experiencing an infestation of spiders in your home or on your commercial property? It's hard to know if spiders you're seeing in your home are venomous, a threat to your family, or harmless nuisances. Some of the most common spiders found in the northern Virginia area include jumping spiders, wolf spiders, and the venomous black widow. While many spiders are not a threat to your health, they can be a frightening intruder. Preventing spiders from entering your home takes precautions both inside and outside.
Here are some tips from the northern Virginia spider experts at Green Pest Services:

Like any basketball coach Jennifer White, former head women's basketball coach at St. Edward's University, was known to work for a call. Now she's the one blowing the whistle.
Jennifer White is a rookie referee calling local high school and small college games just a season removed from 17 years on the sideline as a coach.
White was a guard on two of Leon Barmore's national championship teams at Louisiana Tech and later served as an assistant coach for Jody Conradt. White traded in her coach's shirt for a striped one to stay in the game.
She says long-time rivals still call her coach and admits not every call is the correct one.
Hard work earned White playing time at LA Tech and she's applying the same work ethic to reach division one.
It may not be the usual track to becoming an official, but it's definitely been a fast one.

My son and I headed to the Garden last Friday, a tradition that has bonded us together for 13 years. Our beloved Celtics were attempting the impossible and we were eager to cheer them on to tie-up the Knicks, sending the series on to Game 7. This time was a bit different than any previous time however. Since I moved to Florida just over a year ago, my son and I have no longer enjoyed what we were accustomed to for seven straight years of being season ticket holders. Although we are now separated by a vast distance, I was fortunate to be able to make it up for 2 playoff games last year against the Hawks and Heat, and then Opening Night this year, and while Friday night may have proved to be the end of an era, it inspired me to see the gift my son and I have because of it.
The nostalgia was thick as we considered the possibility that we may be attending our last game of the KG, Paul Pierce era. As we drove toward Causeway Street from the airport, I recalled the end of the Pitino years, when I first began taking my boy to Celtic games. I had cut my teeth on the original Big 3, watching Larry's career unfold while I was ages 13-26, and I could only hope to share my love of the Celtics with my one and only son. We started going to regular season games when he was 9-10 yrs old, but his love really took root in 2002 when I took him to the Celts first playoff game in 7 yrs against Allen Iverson and the Sixers. Even at 10 yrs of age, he immediately recognized the drastic difference in energy in what was then the FleetCenter, soon to be nicknamed, "the Jungle" during that playoff run. My son and I first shared a unique experience that is part of who we are and another diehard Celtics fan was born that day.
Although the C's did make it to the ECF that year, that team was dismantled not long afterwards, and a couple of lean years followed, yet our attendance at C's games skyrocketed as my son became increasingly passionate about his team. Ironically, I first secured seasons' tickets the year the Celtics had a franchise worst 18 game losing streak and went careening into the lottery. Nevertheless, we cheered on our team, even as drunk fans around us screamed to "trade Doc!" during the worst losses. The sliver of hope we held onto throughout that year were two dominant college players named Greg Oden and Kevin Durant who seemed within reach if the ping pong balls fell correctly. Every Celtic fan knows how that played out, setting back our expectations yet again. But when Danny traded for Ray Allen on draft night, it seemed he might have a larger plan in mind to remake the franchise back into a contender yet again.
I'll never forget the night the Garnett deal was confirmed all over the internet, I excitedly texted my then 15 yr old son with the news, certain our team was on the verge of something huge. His immediate response was "Who did we give up?", when I told him the deal included Big Al Jefferson and Gerald Green, he replied "I don't like it." He, like many other developing fans at the time, had learned to love "the young guys" and wanted to follow them as they reached their seemingly certain high upside. I did my best to convince him KG was worth those two guys and more, our best chance at a championship, and told him he would see once the games started being played. As the 07-08 season got under way, he quickly realized he had been mistaken about losing his former heroes.
We had the privilege of attending Game 7 against Cleveland and the epic Game 6 dismantling of the hated Lakers in 2008, oh what joy we had, my son gave me the longest, strongest bear hug he ever has as the confetti poured down around us. It was a surreal moment for me, as this was the first Celtics title in 22 yrs, the last coming when I was 20 yrs old, and I stood with my 16 yr old son who had traversed some of the desert years with me, watching our team climb the highest mountain together. We, like many, were hoping this could happen at least one more time during the new Big 3 era, but I remember encouraging my son to savor the moment because there was no guarantee we'd ever get back here.
The last 2 years we both knew and talked about that we were on the verge of this incredible run being over. Having moved away from Boston and not experiencing the Garden energy as much as I had the previous years, when we entered the arena for Game 6 against the Knicks, I was careful to soak it all in, looking up at the banners, especially 2008, which we had personally witnessed being raised, not far from our seats. The two of us were like kids in a candy store, happy to be reunited with one another, in the place that had brought us so much joy and bonded us like nothing else in our lives.
Then the game happened. The Celts came out flat, leaving the Garden faithful without much to cheer about. There were a few mini-runs which got us all excited, but it just didn't seem like our guys had it this night. Things came to a crashing halt when the 4th quarter began to unfold, and our beloved C's were down by a surely insurmountable 26 pt deficit. Everyone in the building knew it; the end was near, not just the game, but the run of this incredible team that had captured our hearts for years. I was prepared to suffer through every minute in order to pay tribute to the team when it was finally all said and done.
Quite unexpectedly, I looked over to see my 21 year old son with his head in his hands, weeping uncontrollably, and his body shaking. The kind of full body crying born of the deepest kind of emotion, like nothing I had seen from him since he was a little guy. I tried my best to put my arm around him and let him know it was ok, that we should be grateful for what we did have, etc. but he was not ready for that yet. His emotion was raw and pure, and it was all I could do to fight back tears myself, realizing what a life changing experience this journey had been for him throughout most of his formative years, and how we both understood, with my moving away, him growing up, and this team fading away before our eyes, that it would never quite be the same again for us. It was to be a long 9:00+ on the game clock I thought, but I was prepared to get through all of it.
Suddenly however, the Celts scored a couple of buckets, then a steal and another bucket, then another steal, before we fully realized what was happening the lead had been whittled to 10 pts! Something strange was happening on the court. My son got up out of his seat, tears still streaming down his face, incredulous that our guys had a run left in them, after all, they hadn't even scored 20 pts. in a single quarter up until that point. As they inched closer, the Garden came alive louder and more energetic than I can ever remember it, the mood went from funeral to all out celebration, high fives were exchanged with those in the seats around us, music blaring, every sight and sound we had ever experienced the past six years were suddenly all around us again, it was amazing!! It was as if God himself had reached down to bless us with one more final experience before it was all over.
Of course, the C's did fall short in the end, but that was of little consequence to me. I walked out of that building, with my still somewhat subdued son, a smile from ear to ear, soaking in all that had just happened both that night and the years leading up to it. We went on and had a fantastic evening together before I was to head back to Florida the next morning. We reminisced until the wee hours of the morning, about the many years we have shared together rooting on our team, and secure in the knowledge that no matter what would happen with this particular group of players now, we were Celtic fans, so we would be back again to loudly cheer on our team, no matter who was wearing the jerseys the next time we saw them play.
