I love the Celtics. Everyone who knows me, knows this. But how did it all start? Well thanks to a videogame and a few get-togethers with my cousins and brothers, my affection for the Green clover team began.
Me and my cousins would play NBA Live on the PS1 and PS2 all the time, and I mean always! Back then, in 2003 I didn't know who I liked so I just kept on randomizing my team just so I can play the game. I went from using the Kings, to the Pistons, to the Rockets (That Yao Ming cheat!), to even my own created team! I did that method for about a year. I didn't know much about the players but I liked the sport, that's for sure. I knew I had to find a team soon but it wasn't arriving, nobody seemed appealing or was able to capture my heart...
Until once I caught a live game that had this green colored team in it. 4th quarter and they were down by 6 or 7 I can't remember. There was a player who just dribbled past Tinsley, made a stepback, hit a 3 AND got fouled for a potential 4 point play. And that man was Paul Pierce, who immediately got back up to complete the play. From then on, I knew which team I would follow - it was the Celtics. (And Pierce would become my most favorite player... ever!)
Yes, just like that! I started following them and I was always interested in what their results were and I would as much as possible catch their games live. To wake up early to see the Celtics live was never a problem. And when I couldn't, heck I would even use my phone credit to go on the net to check their scores.
And back to that game with Indiana. Although we lost big time, I supported the Celtics eversince. Actually, I guess I got the Celtic fever at a time when they were just about to go downhill. We were in a state of 'fallen from grace' during those years. We had Antoine Walker as our veteran and a young Pierce leading the team. Amazingly, we made the Playoffs during that season. Our comeback in 2002 against the Nets in game 3 of the Playoffs is considered one of the greatest comebacks in Playoff history (that record was broken ourselves in game 4 of the 2008 Finals). And in 2004 we won the Atlantic Division and I remember celebrating like silly! But we ended up losing the first round to those damn Pacers again. And unfortunately those set of events were the last great moments we had...
Believe me, the Celtics were horrific, no they were tragic before the big 3 combined in the summer of 2007. We were experiencing a transitional period, a period no team wants to be part of. We had an abysmal record in 2006 I remember. An 18-game losing streak, second worst record and Pierce was out for a long time. That same year, the legend that was Red Auerbach passed away. It was the worst season I have ever been a part of. We had mediocre players such as Olowokandi, Dickau, McCants and even Allan Ray (yes, NOT Ray Allen - you can google this guy up).
All that changed when Ray Ray and KG joined together in the off-season. Man I was feeling euphoric! I thought Ray Allen being part of the team was great news already. I wouldn't mind the whole season watching the Pierce-Ray tandem. But then a few days later, the arrival of KG just blew the town apart! (although we did give up almost everyone for him) I couldn't believe it, but it was happening. That sight of KG holiding up his new number on the white and green jersey of the Celtics is an iconic picture I can't ever forget. The posters, t-shirts, trailers, all types of merchandise and forms of media were used to promote the Big 3 and I sure as hell was pumped up for the upcoming season. Green nation had officially started! In our opener, we played the Wizards and they were actually decent. But we eventually came up with the victory. We turned that 24-58 pathetic record from last season into a 66-16 best in the league record. What a remarkable achievement for everyone involved!
We made the Playoffs as the best seed and although the Hawks, Cavs (including an epic game 7), and Pistons pushed us all the way, we reached the Finals for the first time since God knows when against the Lakers of all teams. A match made in heaven. And yes for your information, even if Pierce 'faked' his injury, being the captain he did what he needed to do - motivate the team and take the all-crucial game 1 lead. We all know what happened next. Banner #17 baby! And definitely I had to celebrate like a lunatic again! I was on a vacation on an island I can't remember but I made sure I caught the whole series on TV. My world would literally stop just to watch them and pray at the same time.
In the next season opener, the rings were awarded to the players and the banner was raised. The moment Pierce received his championship ring, it was a moment where I couldn't control my emotions. He completely deserved it. All those hardships and losings you go through as a fan, all that is for a reason. This quote sums it up perfectly "The reason for appreciation than when you do win it, everything bottled up, everything you've accumulated in those times of heartache, when you win you're able to let those things out" - Kevin Garnett. See?
Yeah I love the Celtics and I know I always will, even when Pierce retires. And I know that Pierce has left for Brooklyn but there's nothing in this world that would make me change my allegiance for another team. I can only imagine how much crazier of a fan I would be if I was born and lived in Boston. I would probably watch them live as much as possible and paint my house green. For now however, I'm just happy seeing the Celtics being relevant again. The 2008 championship team gave us fans something that was lost for a long time - pride of being a Celtics fan. And if ever they go back down to the depths of the NBA's worst teams, I'll still be there.
To all my cousins and brothers, thank you very much for letting me play that videogame. It's what made me find Pierce and made me fall in love with the Celtics.
PS. And their history alone says it all, they are just a fantastic organization. Cousy, Russell, Parish, McHale, Havlicek, Bird and soon to be... Paul Pierce. Did I mention I love the Celtics?
How about you guys?

The Isle of Man (IoM) has come out of the corner fighting in a battle to plunder the UK pension pots of expats by offering a new tax friendly QROPS scheme.
Guernsey has enjoyed a free and easy ride for a while as queen of the QROPS (Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme) as high-earning expats opted to invest their cash on the island where pension benefits are paid out gross.
Now, the Tynwald, the IoM parliament, has voted to scrap tax on pension benefit payments that lets finance firms based on the island compete toe-to-toe with Guernsey.
Many industry insiders feel the IoM will come out on top, as the country's financial regulators are rated as more robust than those policing their rivals.
The move was agreed when the Tynwald was in session last week.
The vote backed proposals to let QROPS pensions offered by firms on the island pay benefits without deducting tax under Section 50C of the Income Tax Act 1970.
Blatant bid to attract investment from high earners
Special terms were written in to the new rules to ensure the 50C pension meets HM Revenue and Customs guidelines for QROPS schemes.
The pension rule change is a blatant bid for the IoM to grab pension funds from 100,000 or so wealthy individuals in the UK who are likely to lose out under tax curbs due for introduction in April.
The changes slash tax relief to the first £50,000 on annual contributions from the current limit of £255,000. The lifetime pension threshold of £1.8 million drops to £1.5 million at the same time.
QROPS in the IoM and Guernsey are attractive offshore pension options for expats leaving the UK for good or non-UK residents who have accrued pension rights.
Other IoM tax advantages for high earners are a top rate tax band of 20% capped at a maximum income tax payment of £115,000 a year or a 10% for most others, while the island has no inheritance tax or capital gains tax.

Decent sized room. Room was clean and well maintained throughout the length of the cruise. The telephone did not work for most of the cruise and/or went unanswered at the other end. The first day the shower head literally fell off of the wall but it was repaired promptly. The TV and remote control are definitely dated and second rate. The room steward was first class. Room is about mid ship and is next to some type of plumbing as there is a constant gurgling sound coming from the wall behind the lavatory area--not really a troubling sound but might annoy some. The bad: Second hand smoke was over powering in many places. At night it was almost impossible to escape from it in most of the entertainment venues. Carnival needs to enhance and even more importantly enforce their current non-smoking policies. Also, at a minimum, provide better ventilation in the enclosed areas where smoking is allowed. Quite a few patrons regularly over indulged on alcohol causing consternation amongst some passengers.
Overall: We had fun. Was it worth the money? Probably yes, but we are unsure if we would cruise with Carnival again unless we had children accompanying us.

Current training of Mon, Wedns, Sat leaves 2 occassions of training "the day after the day after" (Wedns from Mon, Mon from Sat). This is when i find the aching DOMs the worst, but it doesn't seem sensible to train one day after another. Nor will 3 sessions a week fit if i space them more widely!
What to do? Not be a wuss, accept training with DOMs and press on? Is this what y'all do?
Whats your routine? If your doing the same muscle groups you should vary your intensity.
Remember, to get big, you have to get strong. The two are interconnected. Lift heavy, work hard, and size will come. Like night follows day. It works. Arnold
Do work son. Big Black (Rob and Big)
post your whole routine. youshouldnt be working the same muscle every day you workout. if you are doing something like
then you would be fine because you have a week between training sessions.
Doing WBB1, so there is a pretty clear split. It just doesn't feel there is on some of the compounds.
Also, for example, my arms are hurting from the curls etc, but tonight is bench and rows!
i have my whole week planned around doms...
monday - chest/tris
tuesday - back/bi's
wednesday - shoulders/abs
thursday - legs
this way my shoulders are rested from chest day, legs are rested from deadlifts on back day so I can squat on thursday. Also, since its a 4 day routine, if you need another day off you can stick it in there where ever so arent too sore. It works for me...
"Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy ass weight!" - Ronnie Coleman
"You've got to love what you're doing. If you love it, you can overcome any handicap or the soreness or all the aches and pains, and continue to play for a long, long time." -Gordie Howe
BGB...everything is layed out perfectly.
As your work capacity improves, you won't get as sore.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial
I has a blog.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating a car-motorcycle accident that killed a Rapid City woman Tuesday evening.
The accident happened just before 7 p.m. Tuesday. According to the Department of Public Safety, Kimberley Ericks, 36, was a passenger on the motorcycle driven by Christopher Ericks, 38, of Rapid City. They were traveling southbound on Highway 16 and passing a 2007 Ford Escape driven by Louella Durfey, 64, of Big Timber, Montana.
The Department of Public Safety says Durfey attempted to change lanes to turn onto the Rockerville exit and made contact with the motorcycle. The motorcycle skidded through the off ramp and tumbled, and both riders were thrown.
According to the Department of Public Safety, Kimberley was wearing a helmet but died of injuries she received in the crash. Christopher was not wearing a helmet and received serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the car, Durfey, was uninjured.

By James Serbousek
I am writing in response to Rick Moyle�s Jan. 10 guest column, titled �South Slope mistreats employees.� The author (executive director, Hawkeye Labor Council AFL-CIO, Cedar Rapids) was not involved in union negotiations with South Slope Cooperative Communications in North Liberty and has no firsthand knowledge of the situation. His outside opinion and agenda does not speak for many of us here at South Slope.
As a union-represented South Slope employee, I would like to provide a perspective from within South Slope.
I would ask everyone to support South Slope as a whole and not just a specific group or part of the company. As a South Slope employee of 15 years, I have witnessed some very significant changes for the better in the past couple of years under the current management. Employees are more involved in helping define our culture and the direction of our company than ever before.
As a bargaining unit employee who works under the Communications Workers of America contract and was affected directly by the one-day lockout, I have no hard feelings toward the company, management or fellow employees.
However, I am disappointed greatly in our national representation, which knew for three years that the previous contract expired Oct. 31 but refused to call a vote on the new proposed contract until Nov. 3. Simply refusing to call a vote on a new contract before the current contract expires is basically unheard of. Without a contract and no request for an extension of the old contract, what are the rules and wages we would have been working under?
Moyle states that we were locked out because the union voted against the contract, which is untrue. Ultimately, on Nov. 1, the company was forced into a bad position and the lockout occurred because there was no contract to work under. There are two sides to every story.
Please remember there are many great people on both sides of this discussion who work very hard to provide great service to our South Slope members. Please support South Slope as a whole, and not the outside people with nothing to lose who feel it is OK to run down our great cooperative.
I am treated well and it is my privilege to work at South Slope. Thank you for supporting South Slope and me in a positive manner.James Serbousek of Ely has been a South Slope Cooperative Communications employee for 15 years. Comments: email@example.com

Earlier reported decommitting from Florida with reports saying this sudden disinterest is due to grades. Hearns clears this and said that he decommitted from Florida because they were not going to wait for him to qualify. He said he is in the process of something and have some classes left to finish. Mark Stoops assured Hearns that as long as he kept his grades up, he will work with him to qualify by the end of the school year. This looks like a commit.
"I would say they're my favorite," Hearns said. "There's definitely a chance I'll commit this weekend because of Coach Stoops there."

The argument is sometimes advanced that social action is separable from the core of Jewish life. We hear questions such as, "shouldn't our top priority be Jewish continuity?" or "what's Jewish about social action anyway?" or "what difference can so meager a people make in healing the world?" One response to these challenges is to ask, "what would Judaism be without a fundamental commitment to defending the poor and the helpless?"
The current obsession with Jewish continuity too often assumes that if only we broadcast our message more effectively, the alienated and the indifferent will come home again. The danger of that assumption is that we spend so much energy on the method of our communication that we end up neglecting the needed repairs of the home to which we're urging our errant children to return. The best advertisement for Judaism is the way of life of the community that asserts it. Or, as Jonathan Woocher has recently put it, "For [Jewish] education to be maximally effective, there must be a living Jewish community in which what is being taught is already visible and valued."
So long as the problem of continuity is defined as caused exclusively by an identity-deficit "out there" rather than as also caused by a content-deficit "in here," the efforts to solve the problem will prove inadequate -- and often tasteless.
Moreover, it's a mistake to suggest that we have to choose between our interests and our values. Surely we have a powerful interest in a mended world, and that means in a world more just. We have an interest in being -- and also in being seen as -- a community that stands for something beyond its own survival. We are, after all, a people with a dream, with a purpose, a people that understands that this world isn't working the way it was meant to, and that we are implicated in its repair. Otherwise, we're a bore. On the Role of Jewish Texts
A living Judaism -- or, as Mordecai Kaplan called it, "an evolving religious civilization"-doesn't ask, "How shall we relate the doctrines of our faith or, for that matter, the story of our people to the pursuit of social justice?" Such a living Judaism is -- among other things -- a pursuit of social justice.
It will be said that the idea of justice is not unique to the Jews; happily, that is so. Others, in large numbers and in small, each with his or her own language of reminder and of devotion, also seek to mend. Were that not so, the prognosis would be grim indeed, for we are few in number, and though we are neither free to desist from the task nor obliged to complete it, it is comforting to acknowledge that we have allies in its accomplishment.
And where is it written that our ideas must be unique in order to be compelling?
That said, let's look at this question of texts, of authenticity.
These days, in a laudable effort to tie our concern for social justice more closely to Jewish tradition, there's a renewed emphasis on searching out those statements in our classic texts that "prove the authenticity of that concern." Typically, the focus of the search is exclusively (or nearly so) on religious injunctions. Such injunctions (e.g., to leave the corners of our fields to be gleaned by the poor, to break the fetters of wickedness) are not without merit; indeed, for some who hear them, they may be commanding. But even if we set aside the difficulty that there are, in many cases, equal and opposite injunctions, the focus on religious texts needlessly constricts the search. For the Jewish tradition is not, after all, a tradition of texts alone. It is also the lived tradition of a people, the story of what a people has, through the millennia, made of its texts.
If and as one seeks to locate oneself in a tradition, if one seeks "roots," then the folkways and the debates and the stories and songs of those who came before become, if not a template for our efforts, then at least a set of signposts along the way. That is why, for example, Irving Howe could write, in World of Our Fathers, "We cannot be our fathers, we cannot live like our mothers, but we may look at their experience for images of rectitude and purities of devotion."
The Torah is a text of surpassing importance. From its assertions we derive moral and ethical instruction -- but not only from its assertions, for the Torah is also a chronicle, and the stories it retells and the ways in which we who have studied it have chosen to interpret those stories, on paper and in life, are also a text. One can conceive of all of Jewish history as an ongoing commentary on the original text. Why, then, study the text but neglect the commentary?
Now, if we study the specific commentary called "American Judaism," a Judaism that has, like all others, been shaped by its specific environment, we will learn that here, more so than in most of the places of our sojourning, the pursuit of social justice has been understood as very near the heart of the matter. Study after study finds that Jews regard their commitment to social justice as even more essential an aspect of their Jewish expression than prayer, mastery of Hebrew, or regular synagogue attendance. That is the specific tradition to which American Jews are heir.
The current emphasis on prayer and the study of classical sacred texts is to be applauded, but not as a substitute for vigorous social action. There's a fundamental dishonesty in imposing a separation between the faith and the people, as if the faith, this faith, rooted as it is from its inception in the saga of a tribe-become-a-people, is conceivable as a disembodied doctrine. Judaism without the Jews? That makes no sense at all-and the reason it makes no sense is precisely that Judaism asks to be interpreted, invites interpretive commentary, and not just by scholars but by those who seek to live within its orbit. On the Capacity for Empathy
Of course we should focus first on the quality of our internal communal life, and our communal devotion to tikkun olam is one measure of that quality. It's also true that it will not do to preach the importance of a world made whole from a broken platform. The pronouncements of concern for the world by a community that does not demonstrate concern for its own members will ring hollow. Hence there is no possibility of a serious and sustained effort at social justice save as the Jewish community incorporates the humane values it espouses into its own precincts. We are entitled to assume, at least on moral grounds (the empirical data are wanting), a relationship between a community's practice of bikkur cholim and its commitment to universal health care. We are, more generally, entitled to assume a relationship between the experience of nurturance and the capacity for empathy; and a capacity for empathy, along with a capacity for outrage, are likely the principal ingredients that dispose one to a sustained commitment to social action. On Judaic Competence
The purpose of Jewish education is to increase Judaic competence. Such competence cannot be defined exclusively in terms of mastery of texts or of rituals. Judaism is not only our birthright; it is our conviction, and competence at the expression of that conviction is therefore an essential aim of Jewish education. "Doing Jewish" is not merely a breezy phrase; it is a pedagogic strategy.
So is the internalization, the personalization, of the Jewish story, a story that links yesterday to tomorrow and then draws appropriate conclusions regarding our behavior today.
I say "the Jewish story" as if we all agree on which of the very many stories we tell is the "master" story. We do not. Until quite recently, for example, the story that enthralled most of us was "from ashes to rebirth," a story that now seems to have served its purpose. The master story for our time has as its theme: The world is not working the way it was meant to, and you and I are implicated in its repair.
Like any theme, tikkun olam may beget (and has) endless variations and improvisations. Those variations and improvisations are the elements of a curriculum in Jewish history, literature, liturgy, and yes, texts.
The crucial point is that unless the Jewish story points toward the future, it has no future.
Now, if our story is not only learned but lived, then the culture that embraces it is also a curriculum. Through its diverse elements, the young are inducted and the old are reminded, all are trained and sometimes inspired. In short, Jewish education happens not only in the classroom but also through engagement with a community and its culture.
While we ought not to exaggerate what Jews alone can accomplish, five things should be added:
We are not alone.
Even if we cannot ourselves, or in combination with willing others, "solve" the American crisis, we can through our efforts ease the pain of real people, offering them a touch of dignity where now they have none.
Whatever our contribution to the public weal, our efforts will enhance our own sense of self, help build inspired communities, and thereby contribute to Jewish continuity.
While it is true that there are limits to what we can accomplish on behalf of others, on behalf of social justice, we ought to be careful not to exaggerate those limits. The history of social justice in America would be a very different history, a much skimpier history, had Jews not been part of it. Our effort now is to protect, defend, and extend our tradition of involvement.
Ours is not, in any case, to complete the work; neither are we free to desist from it.

Austin Scott on Immigration
ALIPAC supporters have a diverse range of opinions, yet we are united in the belief that more should be done to reduce illegal immigration. ALIPAC supports those that legally immigrate, but we DO NOT support any amnesty, visa expansion, or "Guest Worker" program designed to reward illegal aliens or legalize their presence in the US. We support a peaceful, non racist, rule of law approach to resolving illegal immigration. America is a land of generous and caring people, but our hospitality and values are being strained and abused by those who are willing to break the law and take our jobs and our tax dollars. America's illegal alien population will begin to shrink instead of grow if we support candidates that will reflect the will of the vast majority of American citizens.
Project Vote Smart infers candidate issue stances on key topics by summarizing public speeches and public statements. Candidates are given the opportunity to respond in detail; about 16% did so in the 2010 races.

We have a lot of discussions here about the Blue Jays payroll, and there's a lot of strongly held opinions which can sometimes make it difficult to have a fact-based discussion on the subject. But beyond that, it strikes me that the information needed to really think about the payroll is lacking. The usual starting point is Cot's Contracts, which has information for each player on the roster, and has yearly charts tracking the opening day major league payroll. The problem is, this doesn't account for in-season payroll and personnel changes, which have been quite significant for the Jays the past couple years. Also, it doesn't include draft or international spending, which have also been large factors for our Jays. In this sense, I've found it frustrating to think about the payroll, much less how various parts of the payroll fit together or have changed over time. So in December, I set out to document all spending from 2008 to 2012 commitments. I ended up setting it aside, but got back to it amid renewed discussion about the 2012 payroll after the arb filings.
For purposes of comparison, I've divided team spending into 5 different categories, which can be seen in the summary table below. Beneath that, I've put a brief explanation of what each category includes and doesn't include, and how the spending numbers are calculated for the categories. After that, I've included another table showing at a high level the impact of the value of the Canadian dollar and inflation on the payroll from 2000 to 2011. At the end, I've got tables showing the detailed breakdown of each categories, as well as a few important notes. If any errors or omissions are spotted, please let me know in the comments.
- MLB Payroll - This category is the actual salary paid to players while on the Major League active roster. Only players who spent the entire year on the roster are included here, or if they had enough service time in the season to still get credited for a full year (Casey Janssen in 2011 is an example, he was sent down for a couple days). If players are traded, they are included if they spent their entire time with the Jays on the active roster, and their salaries are included on a proportional basis. Similarly, if a player with a guaranteed contract is released, the proportion of their salary while on the roster is included, the rest is put in the "Other Transactions" category. All signing bonuses are spread across the entire contract as salary, unless it is paid in specific year in which case the cash payout is used as the salary.
- Other MLB - This category captures the MLB salaries earned by players who split time between MLB and the minors, again on a proportionate basis. So it's basically players earning the minimum, which is why the total is so small. As well, players with Major League service time on the 40 man who are assigned to the minors are entitled to be paid no less than 60% of their previous year's salary while in the minors, so I approximately account for this added amount, since it is an expense related to having a player on a Major League (40 man) contract. Note that only the added amount is estimated, not the total salary including the portion the player would otherwise be entitled to as a minor league salary (and in any event, this difference is immaterial the larger picture). So we're not counting minor league salaries, since this is quite small in the grand scheme and should be reasonably constant from year-to-year anyway.
- Other Transactions - This includes salary paid to released players, amounts included in trades, and option buyouts (included in the year to which the option relates).
- MLB Draft Bonuses - This one is pretty straightforward, the bonuses paid to players slected in the Rule 4 Amateur Draft. Of course, not all bonuses are disclosed, so I used the bonus total that Baseball America reports each year. In the appendix, I detail all bonuses I could find, and generally the numbers are very close but slightly under BA's numbers.
- International & Amateur Free Agent Bonuses - Also quite straightforward in concept, the problem here is that many of these bonuses are not disclosed, so we don't know exactly how much is being spent. For example, the 2011 spending is almost certainly higher than the 2010 spending.
One note worth mentioning here rather than in the relevant categories in the Appendix. Adeiny Hechavarria's contract presented an odd case, because it's both a Major League contract with defined salaries, and also an international signing. Ultimately, I included the $4M bonus in the "International FA" category, and the annual payments in the "Other MLB" category since he has been assigned to the minors while earning it thus far.
Finally, I want to present the following table to show how inflation and the big changes in the value of the Canadian dollar have affected the bottom line from 2000 to 2011. This is obviously critically important for the ownership, which means we have to be aware of the impact and limiations these external factors can have on the payroll. I've previously posted this in the discussion of another thread, but I thought it's also relevant here in terms of thinking about the payroll on a longer-term basis. This is intended as an illustration, not to be exact, so for simplicity the payroll is just Cot's opening day payroll. The exchange rate used is the average monthly exchange rate during the baseball season, and the inflation rate used is US CPI:
Appendices: Detailed Breakdowns of Each Category
MLB Payroll
For 2012, the numbers for Brandon Morrow and Casey Janssen reflect the midpoint of the filing numbers. I have made some assumptions about who will make the Opening Day roster, generally in line with what management has hinted. Either way, it's fairly immaterial since it's almost invariably a player making near the minimum would be displacing a similarly salaried player.
Other MLB
Other Transactions
For the Rivera trade, I assumed that the Jays were on the hook for the entire remianing salary, less the pro-rata portion of the MLB minimum.
MLB Draft Bonuses
Draftees who signed but for whom there is no public information available about their bonus are omitted.
International & Amateur Free Agent Bonuses
This is one of the toughest categories to evaluate, since many times bonuses aren't disclosed. Unlike, with the draftees above, I left those with undisclosed bonuses on the list, because even the raw numbers of signees are instructive.

Dave Sniff (858-495-7536)
(San Diego, CA) – 760 KFMB is proud to announce the arrival of San Diego's newest morning radio program, "The Armstrong & Getty Show". The popular program, featuring Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, makes its San Diego debut at 6am on Monday, June 3rd 2013.
A twenty-year team, Jack and Joe have been known for years as one of California's most popular and funny morning shows. "We're a couple of white men who occasionally get angry, but we're not two angry white men," says Getty. Armstrong adds that the show is based in humor, "it's hard to be too serious, for too long." Both men have families with kids, and they spend their time on the air equally talking about their lives, pop culture and occasionally politics. Getty says that San Diegans can expect the pair to "skewer the news, and we're quite proud of the fact that there are a lot of laughs on this show in any given hour".
"Like any great radio morning show, Armstrong and Getty have that unique ability to not only connect with the listener but to become their companions," says 760 KFMB Program Director Dave Sniff. "They fit-in amazingly well among the great story-tellers that are part of 760 KFMB's character and lineage. They're not so much a "talk show" as a "mock show".
KFMB Radio's Vice President and General Manager, Gina Landau says, "I'm so excited to welcome Jack & Joe to 760 KFMB. What I'm going to love the most is the laughter, the fun and the smart way in which they deal with every day events."
On June 3rd, Armstrong and Getty join 760's line-up, which includes: The Mike Slater Show (9am-Noon), Sean Hannity (Noon-3pm), San Diego's longest running talk show - The Roger Hedgecock Show (3pm-6pm).
For Armstrong and Getty inquiries, please contact Dave Sniff at 858-495-7536.

Was out and about today and taking some seascapes. I thought I'd give a try to a horizontal pan at a slowish shutter speed. I was using a 70-200 F2.8L IS II, so to get it down to a slow enough speed (1/5th sec) I needed to drop the aperture to F32. I'd never normally shoot above F16 to be honest but thats what I needed in conjunction with ISO50. Anyway, here is what the shot looked like. This is on a camera with 2400 shutter activations. This is my 2nd 1Dx.
Utterly depressing. The PP to remove these would make me lose the will to live. My normal shots at F16 required me to clone out 64 lube spots. I know one or two of these are not lube spots but most definitely are. View it at 100% to really see the issue.
Don't be depressed!
Since you had a history with Canon and your case on file, why not try to get them buy back your 1Dx and wait for something else or buy a 5D3 for landscape work?

Justice: A ReaderAuthor:
Sandel, Michael J.
Pub Date: 2007
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Summary: Justice brings together in one indispensable volume essential readings on justice and moral reasoning. With readings from major thinkers from the classical era up to the present, the collection provides a thematic overview of the concept of justice. Moreover, Sandel's organization of the readings and his own commentaries allow readers to engage with a variety of pressing contemporary issues. Looking at a host of ethi...cal dilemmas, including affirmative action, conscription, income distribution, and gay rights, from a variety of angles--morally, legally, politically--the collection engages with the core concerns of political philosophy: individual rights and the claims of community, equality and inequality, morality and law, and ultimately, justice. With concise section introductions that put the readings in context, this anthology is an invaluable tool for students, teachers, and anyone who wishes to engage in the great moral debates that have animated politics from classical times to our own.

By GREG KEIM
Playing in the championship match at four of the five positions and winning two of them was enough to propel the Northridge Raiders to the team championship in the NLC high school girls tennis tournament Saturday at the Mary Beth Hunter Tennis Complex in Plymouth.
Northridge also won the regular-season title by posting a 7-0 league record.
"Our three seniors won this, because they have been here before," Northridge coach Angie Brenneman said. "I'm proud of the seniors, but every one of the girls played good tennis. This is our springboard into the postseason."
The final order of finish in the team standings were Northridge, Goshen, Plymouth, Elkhart Memorial, Concord, NorthWood, Warsaw and Wawasee.
Senior Sarah Smith was the champion at No. 1 singles and classmate Ashley Owens at No. 2 singles to lead the Raiders.
Smith defeated Goshen junior Miranda Kay 6-3, 6-1.
"I had to hit the ball from sideline to sideline to move her before she moved me," Smith said. "My goals coming in were for the team to win and for me to win as an individual.
"Our team has really good chemistry. That is not something you would think you would normally need in tennis since it is more of an individual sport, but it's nice to know everyone is pulling for you."
The temperature was cool on Saturday and three was a pretty good breeze at times.
"I would rather play on a day like this than when it is super hot," Smith said.
Smith's win was a special one for Brenneman.
"Her victory was the one that put us over the top," the coach said. "This was her time to shine. She has lost some tough matches in the tournament the past few years. Today there was no way to stop her."
Owens was a 6-4, 6-3 winner over NorthWood freshman Sydney Wysong. Their match was the last one done as it featured some very long points.
Owens fell behind 3-0 in the second set.
"I didn't give up and kept my head in the match," Owens said.
"I used to get anxious in situations like that, but now manage to stay calm. Sydney is a very good opponent. I'm happy to have pulled this out my senior year."
Owens won four straight games to take a 4-3 lead in the second set.
"That was the turning point of the match," she said.
Owens is accustomed to winning in the NLC as she is also a member of the Northridge swimming team.
"Ashley had a great season," Brenneman said. "She went 6-1 in the NLC. She the girl who gave her only loss in the league in a match that lasted three hours and was rained out on Thursday and had to be continued on Friday. That was a huge win for her and a key one.
"There is a lot of pressure when you are the only ones left playing. Ashley got through it based on her experience. She has been there before."
Goshen's No. 2 doubles team of senior Leah Shetler and sophomore Kayci Troyer defeated senior Sam Lutain and sophomore Holyn Eldridge of Concord 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 in the finale.
"We had to stay positive after dropping the first set," Shetler said.
"This was a tough match and it should get us ready for sectional."
"It's feels good to win with Leah since she is a senior," Troyer said.
"The first game we were not very aggressive. The second we came out and started cheering each other one. Leah is my biggest inspiration and I am her biggest inspiration."
Shetler and Troyer entered as the No. 4 seed. They upset the No. 1 seed — Emily Blake and Ellen Smith of Plymouth — 7-5, 7-5 on Friday to reach the championship.
"The Plymouth team is good and it was a very close match," Shetler said.
"That was an intense match," Troyer said.
Goshen coach Daniel Love said, "Leah and Kayci played some terrific tennis. The scored was tied 4-4 in the second set when rain stopped it. That was a hard place to pickup the match on Friday.
"They have improved so much this season in being aggressive and in their mental attitude. One of the reasons they make a good team is they compliment each other so well. Leah is the more consistent hitter from the baseline while Kayci is the more aggressive one at the net."
Love was not concerned about Kay's loss to Smith.
"There are times you lose to good players," he said. "Miranda is playing some of her best tennis of the season."

Much like a round-house kick from the boot of Chuck Norris to the back of your skull, the SEO community can be swift, cruel, and decisive when it comes to exacting punishment for misdeeds. Whether or not it is deserved can sometimes be an issue – but in the case of SEO Columbus a swift kick in the ass was just the right solution.
Enter Mike Halvorsen.
Mike is an in-house SEO over at the super-site Manta. He knows his shit and has been working on the Internet since he was age-fricken-twelve! As a point of reference, I may or may not have still been in the prime of my nose-picking career at that point.
Just so everyone is aware. I've only recently met Mike through Twitter. I don't know him personally. I'm not in cahoots.
Late last week, Mike received some questionable and threatening emails from one mister Joe Rozsa, the "owner" of SEO Columbus (or is it Kalor Technology?). The issue at the heart of the matter was that Mike was using the term "SEO Columbus" in his title tag and that ticked Joe off because it is supposedly is Joe's "legal" business name. So Joe asked him "kindly" to take it down.
I won't post the entire email & corresponding conversation strand (see the link below), but I will say that the way Joe asked wasn't nice at all. The terms "trademarked", "piggybacking", "known violations", and "trademark law" may or may not have been thrown around.
Yesterday, Mike posted a very thorough account of the proceedings on his site that is relevant for the term SEO Columbus that isn't trying to steal clients or piggyback off of someone's hard work. What followed was an explosion of feedback.
The Internet is a strange and wonderful place…
A big thanks goes out to Joe for teaching every SEO in the industry how to kill your reputation in 10 steps (or less). Here are the steps:
1. Send Threatening E-Mails To Your Real or Perceived Competition
It these emails, please ensure that you mention how the party in question is trying to "capitalize" off of "hard work" and take advantage of you. Then, make sure to mention trademarks, threaten legal action, and be as smug as possible.
2. Did I Say To Be Smug? Yes? Well Do It Anyway
Make sure that you give everyone a healthy dose of humble-pie by telling them how you're "too busy to be accepting new clients," could "could refer some of my overflow," and how they've "probably seen me speak at a conference somewhere."
And is people leave comments that are somehow a "smear" to your "good reputation," please be sure to silence them with more smugness. This will surely put your critics in their place.
3. Are Smug and Condescending the Same Thing?
If you feel you've met an appropriate level of smugness, but sure to throw in some good old fashioned condescending narrative. Make sure that you talk down to top industry peers as much as possible. Question their knowledge if you can. That will teach them!
4. Site False Trademarks & Business Details
Damn it, if you own the domain name then that is what your business name is! Trademarks be damned! Don't let little things like the State of Ohio and their crazy laws and requirements to be an official business get in your way.
5. Question How People Spend Their Time
If people have all this free time to talk about a wild thing like protecting the integrity and reputations of good quality "hard working" SEO's, then they must have TOO MUCH time on their hands.
Get a job losers!
6. Play the Danny Sullivan Card
When all else fails, play the Danny Sullivan card! He's reputable, and if you've ever seen or talked to him you must be reputable too.
Screw all the nay-sayers!
7. Keep on keeping on
Keep fighting the good fight. If the people keep picking on you, be sure to throw a healthy additional dose of #2 and #3 above their way!
8. Issue a Half-Hearted Apology
If you've realized that the public consensus is that you've done wrong (and a #2 and #3 aren't working as well as you'd like), you can submit and get the ultimate out by issuing a half-hearted apology. The less you believe it the better!
9. Let Your Paranoia Run Wild
Who says you can't go higher than the #1 ranking? Those guys are idiots! I say that #1 isn't good enough – even with an exact-match domain! If you can't smack down a few punk kids along the way, then why even be in the business.
This business ain't what it used to be.
10. Don't Think Before Hitting Send
Why on Earth would you want to do that?
The tidal wave of commentary that has ensued over on Mike's site has been nothing short of amazing and a perfect example of how to kill your reputation in less than a day. Any other SEOs thinking of doing something similar should take a good hard look at the example that Mr. Rozsa has set.
In this industry, your reputation is absolutely everything. Don't sully it by being stupid, arrogant, and paranoid. Competition is supposed to be good for you, supposed to make you better. Competition IS a form of flattery and good SEOs welcome it.
Also, it's probably not a good idea to attempt to use a "generic business term" combined with your "service city" as your business name. It can lead to brand confusion and a sticky little situation such as this one. I'm guessing the negative far outweigh the positives.
Dear Joe,
It is a shame that you've done this to yourself. However, YOU did this and Mike (and his legions) fought back. You didn't have to send out any emails. You were already ranking #1 – even if it only pulls in 19 organic visits in December (or was it 2.5 months)? You killed your own reputation and furthered the damage by being too stubborn to admit you were wrong.
Nobody wants you to go out of business. In fact, I hope you do well. But I sense a little hypocrisy in that you had no qualms about throwing Mike under the bus. Would you have helped to support his family if your efforts would have resulted in Mike losing his reputation and potentially his job? Probably not. Just sayin.
The SEO Community doesn't like coming down on people, but it's actions and attitudes like this that give the rest of us a bad name. However, we must police the industry and keep people from doing this type of stuff. If we don't, then the rest of us will be out of jobs shortly.
And please don't bother sending me a threatening email. I'm simply trying to help my readers understand what NOT to do when entering a situation where their reputation is on the line.
Jake (aka Agent SEO)
To close, I thought I'd leave my readers with a very funny post and throw Joe his one and only link of this article. About a year ago, Joe wrote an article entitled, "#1 Columbus SEO Firm With A Vengeance."
The article shows how supposedly awesome SEO Columbus is and begs to question why anyone would ever want to hire anybody else?!? What I'm sure was conveniently Photoshopped out was the fact that he was probably signed in. Wonder if he's heard of personalized search results? Even back then the article rubbed me the wrong way.
Either way, the irony makes me chuckle on a day like today.

15 January 2009 at 10:50am
Hi what do you mean with a checkout? I downloaded the latest trunk userform-trunk-r70000 there is no install file there!
And I am not sure if i want to try to install it again. I noticed one thing after the last attempt. When I create a new blogpost the date is set to 1 of january 1970. Before it used to be the date you create the blogpost.
Can you explain more to me? Can I name the folder that i upload under wwwroot to userform or does it have to have a specific name?

Diffusing doTERRA is a great way to get started with essential oils. I constantly diffuse essential oils in my home to eliminate airborne pathogens and eliminate tough kid odors. Our favorites oils to diffuse are OnGuard (kills bacteria and virus), Wild Orange and Peppermint (energizing blend), Citrus Bliss (another energizing blend), and Lemon, Rosemary and Peppermint (cleans and sanitizes the air while eliminating cooking/kitchen odors).
My son and his friends love to blow "oil vapor rings". Here is a video showing them having some fun with the diffuser. They may think blowing vapor rings are fun, I know that they are killing germs and promoting healthy cells in the process.

Although we have turned the pages of the calendar to a new month, severe weather season is not yet done. That is especially true in the topics, where hurricane season is just getting ramped up. Running from June until November, hurricane season seems to be a time of feast or famine.
So far for 2013 there hasn't been too much action. Andrea, Barry, Chantal and Dorian were the first storms to make their mark. Usually hurricane season does not even get started in the Gulf of Mexico until right about now. A pattern setting up for the first week of this month will lend a helping hand for possible storm development. We usually watch the western coast of Africa for disturbances to form and move westward towards the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. It all has to come together just right, or these hurricane hopefuls fall apart faster than a cheap paper towel. Now, we see some favorable conditions setting up in the Gulf for tropical development and the seed for that development could originate in our neck of the woods.
Several complexes of thunderstorms are forecast to develop across the Great Plains this weekend. The current weather pattern is for a large area of high pressure to sit over the mid-south, directing these storms east then southeast, then due south towards the Gulf of Mexico. Once in the Gulf, these storms could form a circulation, and that circulation could form a tropical system. Sure, if formed, that tropical system has to grow and strengthen to earn a name, but it is possible. Clusters of thunderstorms over warm water can develop a circulation that can lead to a tropical system. Usually these storms start off the coast of Africa, but they could originate in the Mid West this weekend.
So picture this, a cluster of storms forms in Nebraska and South Dakota and moves around the high. These storms stay together and make it through Georgia and the Carolinas and then into Florida. These storms have already traveled over a thousand miles and they still could have life left in them. They then catch a ride on a light westerly flow that will take them over the Gulf. Now they are on the road to possible growth, if all elements come together. This scenario may be stretched out like a rubber band around a Sunday newspaper, but it is possible. Stay tuned. One added note, here is the list of the names for Atlantic based storms for 2013. Frazier
