I know there are many who doubt that true love exists, but I believe I found it with this quaint olive oil shop. I went in for the first time yesterday afternoon. The aroma upon entering is phenominal a pleasure for sure, then followed with a warm greeting from the proprietor. After sampling through the oils I decided on the Chilean Arbosona, it has a great soft aroma of tomato and just an indescript fresh and clean quality and then finishes with a peppery aft. I also purchased the garlic infused dipping oil which was used immediately after to accompany some great cheese and wine that we selected at the Wine Concierge in Allenhurst. My lady was crazy about the pommegranite balsalmic which was very nice and the red apple balsalmic was wonderful, actually I drizzled the red apple balsalmic over some vanilla bean ice cream as a dessert, superb. Even right now I am sitting here with some toasted ciabatta from Balthazar and tasting through the oils again. I reiterate I adore this little shop and will hopefully be attending some olive oil and wine tastings in the future. Cheers!
re: Eric in NJ
I'm in. I will pick up a bottle on sunday on your rec.
re: chris the bartender
Chris great store. I know you cant taste here but, the best place I have found to buy oils and vinegars is Chefs Warehouse.com www.chefswarehouse.com I bought some great stuff from Sicily there. I think they also have cool stuff like Truffles and caviar.
re: DJMarilyn
Here's the website.
I like that they have some organically grown products. It's a great place to learn. I was amazed at how varied the oils can taste. The owner is a wonderful guide to tasting.

Stopped in the Red Bank store today, and hear the new store is open in Long Branch.
Agree with all posts, know it has been here awhile but somehow I missed it until today!
You can taste everything before you make your selections!
After traveling in Italy last week, it is great to have a little bit of European culture here in NJ.
Picked up Blood Orange Olive Oil and Tangerine Balsamic - WOW what a combination! As well as a Red Apple Balsamic and Fig Balsamic - Can't wait to make dinner!!
Very helpful and kind people!
Will be back!
re: shabbystorm
yum, can't wait to try this place, now I am obsessed with finding time to get there!
re: Liz White
If you like the pomegranate, try dipping the end of a pizza crust in it. My husband still insists that the kids don't eat the ends, but I know it's just so he can steal them and dip them in the pomegranate balsamic.
Picked up Spanish Hojiblanca, fruity with pepper on the back... great on bread, but ideal on grilled fish, other seafood and over greens with sherry vinegar... will be long gone by the time the good jersey tomatoes come out, but that only means another excuse for a tasting visit

Event detail
GV Art & Mind Symposium #21 'Emotion. Pleasure and Pain in the Brain'25. Mar - 25. Mar 14 / ended GV Art
£20 per person. Includes a 2 course meal and wine.
7pm - 9pm
A presentation by Professor Morten Kringelbach
Emotion presents the fundamental principles of the neural mechanisms underlying emotional processing as well as reviewing our current scientific understanding of pleasure and emotion. The book takes the reader from everyday conceptions of pleasure and emotion through to the latest insights into the nature and functions of emotions at the interface of psychology and neuroscience, before exploring topics such as the nature of subjective experience and future possibilities including emotions in silico.
Professor Morten L. Kringelbach is interested in understanding the functional neuroanatomy of pleasure in its many forms using a range of behavioural, neuroimaging, neurosurgical and computational methods.
He is the Director of Hedonia: Trygfonden Research Group, a unique transnational research collaboration between Oxford and Aarhus universities. Morten Kringelbach has also collaborated with Annie Cattrell on making artworks. One of the artworks "Pain/Pleasure" has been previously exhibited at GV Art (2010 & 2012), about which Professor Martin Kemp wrote in Nature:
"The latest collaborative artwork from neuroscientist Morten Kringelbach and artist Annie Cattrell reveals – and revels in – sensory dialogues in the brain… Their new sculpture Pleasure/Pain – which I deliberately attribute to both of them – models the structural connections of a small region in the brainstem, the periaqueductal grey, as revealed by a method of magnetic resonance imaging called diffusion tensor imaging.
The piece explores the links that might be activated during sensations of pleasure and pain. … Cattrell and Kringelbach are telling us that art can be as rationally founded as Renaissance theorists insisted, and that science can be as suggestively open as the act of looking itself. "

Former Cub Manager Gomez Critically Injured But Improving
Catching up on day-old news here, but former Cubs manager Preston Gomez was critically injured Wednesday morning when he was struck by a pickup truck in Blythe, California.
The 84-year-old Gomez, who has been a special assistant for the Angels for many years, was on his home from spring training at the time of the accident. Gomez stopped for gas and after refueling his car, "stepped out around the end of the gas pumps and into the path of a large pickup truck," according to the Blythe police.
Gomez suffered major head injuries and was airlifted to a hospital in Palm Springs, where he was placed in intensive care.
According to Angels exec Tim Mead, as reported by the L.A. Times on Thursday:
"The situation is much more encouraging than it was [Wednesday] morning. His vital signs are positive. He was squeezing his wife's hand."
Gomez is a beloved figure in the Angels organization and news of the accident reached the team before it took the field for Wednesday afternoon's game with the Cubs.
After the game, Angels manager Mike Scioscia had this to say:
"Preston means a lot to all of us here. As the day went on, we were getting better news. Hopefully he can keep improving, but it's definitely something that's weighed heavily on our minds today."
Gomez's tenure with the Cubs was brief and unsuccessful. With previous managerial experience at San Diego and Houston--and four last-place finishes in five seasons--he was hired by Cubs general manager Bob Kennedy following the '79 season. Gomez only lasted 90 games in the pilot's chair. The Cubs were a woeful 38-52 in 1980 when Gomez was canned and replaced by third-base coach Joey Amalfitano.
Gonfalon Cubs has quite a fine analysis of Gomez and the tragicomic goings-on of the 1980 team.
Regardless of his performance as a field general, Gomez is clearly a respected and well-liked figure in baseball circles--"one of the warmest and friendliest figures in the game," according to the Times--and it is good to hear encouraging news about his condition.

city of ships - minor world
this record dropped on july 19th. had a bit of trouble finding it in the record stores i'd been getting to, so when i finally made it back to an access point on earth, where the internet exists, i purchased it on itunes, and haven't been able to stop listening to it since. heavy but thoughtful guitars cloud the backvoid while vocalist eric jernigan drones on top of the industry with a voice channeling the likes of dustin kensrue a la vheissu. the record has moments that play off the atmosphere like a more modern speed satellite years, but keep the process a great deal tamer. the pace never picks up above a slowly nodding march, all the while keeping your eyes glued to the material, a bit conversational, the way colin frangicetto can cause you to hover on the outside of green's lyrics on all of the good circa survive records. forgive me all of the comparisons. but it's the best way i can convince you to give this band a shot. this entire record comes together like a labyrinthine space station, each chamber holding a purpose, while still linking together, air-tight, to form an seamless whole. i am a big fan of this record, and while it isn't one that's going to have one song steal your heart, it will comfortably find a place in your record collection somewhere near the quicksand and cave-in records.
give the track low countries a listen, and see if this is the mode you're willing to adjust to. if so, pick up the record.
still no dates in the states, though i will be sure to let you know where to find them (and, consequently, myself) when they hit the van.
welcome back.
I just want to officially welcome everyone back to WM with this:
dave and i will be attending this tonight at the crazy donkey. if for no one else, then for the band letlive. whose record fake history has had a chokehold on my eardrums for the last couple months. if you've yet to hear them, they're doing a little glassjaw/refused type of thing, and their live performances have been causing a ruckus internationally. stoked to see what the next few months will hold for the band.
tree of life was abstract, artsy, lengthy but phenomenal.
late to the game, i'm reading a heartbreaking work of staggering genius by eggers, and i am being blown away by it, completely. makes me never want to blog again. as i've said a ton in the past, many times our heroes (or those who inspire us) simultaneously make us want to create beyond our wildest ambition, as well as make all of those same proliferations come to a screeching halt, because you feel you will never reach that same level of quality. still a worthwhile read.
fear 3 was a mediocre shooter with a fun co-op portion to it, but overall was a forgettable entry to the series. if you haven't played fear 2 yet, that was the one that really caught what defined the horror video game genre for me, and had solid FPS elements to it. pass on this new one.
we're back.
of course, as has frequently happened before, i just moved into a new apartment which does not have access to the internet, so i'll have to be doing much of my updating from a mobile source, which makes some of the spontaneity of what i tend to want to write about get smashed to pieces, but at the very least, the option is back.
letlive. tonight at the donkey. if you're coming through, come say hey.

Want some really energy-efficient electronics? If all goes well, you can someday power your gadgets by dancing, running—or even by the movement of breasts.
Earlier this week, we reported that UK mobile phone operator Orange has teamed up with GotWind, a company specializing in renewable energy, to produce a charger powered by dance energy.
The portable kinetic energy charger weighs the same as a phone and is about the size of a pack of cards. It's attached to the user's arm and employs a system of weights and magnets to provide an electric current to charge a storage battery. This can then later be used to recharge the phone. The chargers will be given a test run this weekend at this year's Glastonbury Festival, a music and arts celebration in England.
Sure, but it's the breast power you really want to know about, isn't it? A Slate article examines the possibility of charging portable electronic devices via the energy generated from the movement of breasts while running, for example. Don't laugh: it's possible, and apparently the science of breast motion has been studied for years.
It appears that one of the best bets for capturing energy from motion is from Zhong Lin Wang of Georgia Tech, who is currently working to develop fabric made from nanowires, the article reports. The nanowires rub against one another and convert the mechanical energy from the friction into an electric charge. A square meter of fiber produces about 80 milliwatts of power. Wang's team hopes to generate energy-producing T-shirts and other clothing.
There are already Lighting Packs that use the motion from backpacks to produce about 7 watts of power—enough to run an MP3 player, handheld GPS or other gadget. And there are dance floors that convert kinetic energy produced by dancers into power as well.
Perfecting the breast-power bra may be tricky, but I think we are only seeing the beginning of a very cool movement in harnessing kinetic energy.

Remember, Death Blossom delivers only one massive volley at close range... theoretically.
Alex Rogan:
What do you mean "theoretically?"
After all, D.B. has never been tested. It might overload the systems, blow up the ship!
Alex Rogan:
What are you worried about, Grig? Theoretically, we should already be dead!
The amusing thing about this, it's all a big mistake. That particular Starfighter game was supposed to be delivered to Vegas, not some fleaspeck trailer park in the middle of tumbleweeds and tarantulas. So it must be fate, destiny, blind chance, luck even, that brings us together. And as the poet said, the rest is history.
Alex Rogan:
Where are you taking me?
Centauri told you, it's a surprise. Hey, are you the kind of kid who reads the last page of a mystery first? Who pesters the magician to tell you his tricks? Who sneaks downstairs to peek at his Christmas presents? Noooo, of course you're not.
That's why I'm not gonna tell you!
Alex Rogan:
Oh, God.
Alex! Alex! You're walking away from history! History, Alex! Did Chris Columbus stay home? Nooooo. What if the Wright Brothers thought that only birds should fly? And did Galoka think that the Ulus were too ugly to save?
Alex Rogan:
Who's Galoka?
Never mind.
Alex Rogan:
Listen, Centauri. I'm not any of those guys, I'm a kid from a trailer park.
If that's what you think, then that's all you'll ever be!

Former deputies accused of fraud
Edinburg couple face charges in Warren County stemming from pool project contract
By Sally Voth -- firstname.lastname@example.com
WOODSTOCK -- An Edinburg couple who own a pool business have been charged with construction fraud in Warren County General District Court.
Amanda Marie Myrtle and Walter Thomas Myrtle Jr., 37, of Edinburg, were charged with construction fraud Jan. 23, according to online court records. The charge is a class 6 felony.
They're scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, and are free on their own recognizance, according to court records.
The Myrtles own Serenity Pool and Spa, according to a criminal complaint filed by Gary B. Phillips with the Warren County Sheriff's Office.
The complaint says Laura Voegler signed a contract with Amanda and Thomas Myrtle last July for a 24-by-24-foot pool for $26,900. Another $4,000 was charged for a fence around the pool.
Voegler paid the whole contract price in August, but neither the pool nor the fence was finished by Serenity Pool and Spa, the complaint says. The Myrtles haven't been in touch with her since Oct. 31, it says.
A letter sent to the company Dec. 10 hadn't been claimed as of Jan. 3, according to the complaint.
Another contractor has completed the pool project, it says.
The complaint says the couple live in Edinburg.
Both Thomas Myrtle and his wife are former deputies with the Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office. Mrs. Myrtle, who spent part of her time there as an investigator, worked for the agency from 2003 to 2008, Maj. Scott Proctor said.
Her husband worked there from 1997 to 2006, according to Proctor.
A public phone listing for Serenity Pool and Spa wasn't in service Friday evening, and its website required a login name and password. A home listing for the Myrtles also wasn't in service.
Voegler couldn't be reached for comment.

Student Study Abroad Trip Sparks Shift in Career Goals
A little over a year ago, Jessica Ruf was studying at Hope International University (HIU) and thinking about becoming a lawyer after she graduated. After studying in Washington, D.C., through the Best Semester program for the Spring 2010 semester, she now wants to pursue a Masters Degree in Community Development and is currently working for an organization called Life in Abundance (LIA).
Originally from Northern Idaho, Ruf is a senior at HIU and will graduate in May 2011 with a Bachelors Degree in Biblical Studies. She wanted to study abroad for some time and had even considered studying internationally before Dr. Steve Edgington, Dean of Pacific Christian College, suggested another possibility.
I had been looking at different options for an internship that involved anti-trafficking work when Dean [Dr. Steven] Edgington invited me to meet with a representative from Best Semester, she said. What I loved about Best Semester was I could study in D.C. and organize my own internship while living with a community of students from other Christian colleges.
Ruf learned that she is drawn to the fast paced work of community development and says that this field is one she is passionate about because she gets to work in a collaborative environment and enact changes that are tangibly helping other people.
While in D.C., Ruf organized a fundraiser to help anti-trafficking efforts in India as part of her internship with a non-profit organization called the Jubilee Campaign. She also worked with a team of other students on a development project in the Sudan that included doing research and assembling a group of government officials, private companies, and organizations that could work together to complete the project.
I loved that I was able to meet with professional men and woman who are further along in life than me and who are willing to share their wisdom and insight, she said. I cherished and learned from those moments so much and since being back at HIU I have intentionally tried to mimic that aspect of D.C. culture.
The projects Ruf worked on while in D.C. have opened doors for her career. Justin Narducci, Director of Partnerships and Resources at Life in Abundance (LIA), heard about Rufs work on the Sudan development project and, with a recommendation from HIU professor Roberto Sirvent, agreed to meet with her. That turned into an internship for Ruf with LIA, which then became a part-time paid job. I feel very fortunate to have a job that I enjoy before I even graduate, Ruf said. I wouldnt be at Life in Abundance if it wasnt for D.C.
Ruf had a simple reply when asked if she would encourage other students to study abroad: GO! It can be intimidating stepping out into the unknown but it will be so worth it!

Director of the Department of Industry's Entrepreneur's Infrastructure Programme, Doron Ben-Meir, has been named one of 'Australia's 12 most influential people in tech' by leading business news organisation, SmartCompany.
Social media can be daunting, but with some research and planning, you can use it to your business' advantage. With this in mind, business.gov.au has developed a Social Media Plan Template and Guide to help businesses navigate the social media landscape.
The R&D Tax Incentive Snapshot is a new mobile responsive website which provides clear and simple guidance around the programme to help smaller companies quickly identify whether their business is eligible for the R&D Tax Incentive. The R&D Tax Incentive Snapshot provides real life case studies relevant to specific industry sectors and guides businesses on how to register and seek further information.
The Australian Government will invest $188.5 million in Industry Growth Centres to pursue global excellence in areas of competitive strength.
A key part of the Government's Industry Innovation and Competitiveness Agenda, the centres will help industry exploit new global markets and supply chains, invent and commercialise new products and services and generate new jobs.
The Minister for Industry will seek expressions of interest from business-led consortia to establish five nonprofit Industry Growth Centres in the following sectors:
· food and agribusiness
· mining equipment, technology and services
· oil, gas and energy resources
· medical technologies and pharmaceuticals
· advanced manufacturing sectors.
Each of the five Centres will receive funding of up to $3.5 million per year. The Centres will be required to establish a plan to become self-sustaining after four years and the Government will look to establish further Centres based on the success of the programme.
Small business advisory service providers can now apply for funding of up to $200,000 per annum over three years to provide expert advice to small businesses under the Australian Small Business Advisory Services (ASBAS) Programme.

PR and Marketing firm Hugo Halliday is pulling up stakes from its Gladesville office and moving to Parramatta.
Managing Director of Hugo Halliday PR and Marketing Bill Pickering said the move is to keep pace with Sydney's shifting business landscape.
"No longer is the Sydney CBD or nearby suburbs considered as the heart of our State's capital – Parramatta took this title long ago," Mr Pickering said.
"Businesses looking to prosper must consider making the move west to keep pace with where the action is in regards to connectivity and clients."
Mr Pickering said Hugo Halliday is a diverse public relations and media and marketing company that works with clients seeking advocacy with all levels of Government, media training and exposure and community relations expertise.
He describes himself as a 'corporate soldier' ready to do battle with Government, Media and groups opposed to business interests to achieve desired outcomes.
A corporate soldier? A number of former Defence officers have joined forces with large businesses to add firepower to boardrooms to assist with realising corporate goals and aims. Hugo Halliday Public Relations and Marketing Pty Ltd is one company that enjoys the military experience of two of its members.
Mr Pickering is a former journalist and senior public affairs and media consultant who is at home wearing svelte suits or disrupted pattern camouflage uniforms. Bill is a former Regular Army Lieutenant Colonel and communications specialist who has been in some of the world's hot spots working with the United Nations and the Australian Army. He has taken his war fighting skills to a different level by utilising them for corporations and businesses to achieve their goals and aims with Government, Media and the wider community.
Bill has led national media campaigns, international public affairs in Asia and Africa, dealt with major national crises and co-ordinated sensitive national and international public information strategies. He has held senior appointments in Federal and State Governments, in the Media, and more recently in communications and PR agencies. Bill has a Masters degree in Organisational Communication and a Bachelors degree in Journalism and Media.
Assisting Bill is Christopher Holcroft who is also a Media and corporate communications specialist; former journalist and senior public affairs and Media specialist. Christopher is an Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel who is also just as happy to wear corporate suits or a camouflage uniform to get the job done.
He also brings a mix of corporate and military skills and leadership to the table to enable clients to achieve their goals. Christopher has led national media campaigns, international public affairs in Asia and the Middle East, dealt with major national crises and co-ordinated sensitive national and international public information strategies.
Christopher has held senior appointments in Federal, State and Local Governments, in the Media, and more recently in communications and PR agencies. Christopher has a Masters degree in Organisational Communication and a Bachelors degree in Journalism and Communication Technology. He has also written five books – three aimed at teenagers and two for adults.
Forming the rest of the operational team at Hugo Halliday is Nathaniel Smith whose expertise is Government advocacy and community relations and Jessica Craig, a graphic artist who helps brings life to company websites, brochures, newsletters and other media. Together they form part of the operational team at Hugo Halliday to help clients combat the jungle of Government lobbying; Media and community relations.
"If you need something urgent to be done or a crisis hits your organisation which corporate soldiers are you going to call? Hopefully someone with experience in an operations room working for multi-levels of governance and Media – that will be Hugo Halliday PR and Marketing," Mr Pickering said.
"Some business leaders like to be called Captains of industry. Step up the rank chain and call people who have actually served the country in uniform and know how to handle issues at senior levels.
"Keeping cool under fire is a military trait Hugo Halliday espouses in crisis communications along with good strategic and tactical planning."
Mr Pickering said Hugo Halliday does not have former tank commanders who know how to drive tanks in paddocks and fields; infantry soldiers whose life revolved around fighting on battlefields or even naval warfare officers who can fire the big guns. Instead, Hugo Halliday has experts in fields you need to actually deploy in your boardrooms – Government advocacy experts; communications, Media, crisis management, public information campaign strategists and community relations experts.
He said Hugo Halliday brings to Parramatta a kitbag of corporate skills including consultative leadership and empowerment for businesses to solve their corporate issues and concerns through a mission and command approach. This allows business to set the parameters of the agreed mission or goal for their ventures and for Hugo Halliday to effect what is required to achieve the aims.

Featured Golf News
Timilick Tahoe Opens for Play
Tahoe's newest golf course, Timilick Tahoe, opened this past weekend. Nestled between North Star and Squaw Valley ski resorts, the 7,000-yard co-design by John Harbottle and Johnny Miller is the centerpiece of a 475-acre gated community off Highway 267 near Truckee, Calif.
The private course crosses high-mountain terrain and cuts through a pine forest. The track is accented by water features, desert sage and natural rock outcroppings. Small greens, chipping areas and muscular sand bunkers give the course a "Golden Age" feel.
Timilick is built to be a member's club, one the entire family can enjoy because of the course's multiple tees. The layout begins on gentle topography before finishing with a spectacular back nine that plays over, across and along rugged slopes, with dramatic elevation changes.

|Clemens works out again in Florida
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 05 June 2007 08:10
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner threw in the outfield and briefly off a bullpen mound Tuesday, one day after an MRI exam showed a scar-tissue injury in his right groin. He also ran for 12 minutes during the 2-hour, 50-minute workout.
The Yankees said Clemens is to have a full-scale bullpen session Wednesday.
The 44-year-old right-hander originally planned to start Monday night at the Chicago White Sox. He scratched himself from the outing last Saturday because of what the Yankees said then was a ``fatigued'' groin, an injury he first felt during a minor league outing May 28.
Clemens played catch Tuesday for 11 minutes - making 52 throws - with injured pitcher Phil Hughes. He also threw about 15 pitches off a bullpen mound before a 20-minute period when he discussed working from the stretch with young pitchers. Hughes is still wearing a boot on his left foot after spraining his ankle while doing agility drills May 25.
Clemens didn't stop to talk with a reporter following the workout.

I really like this e/s. It looks kind of boring but it makes all the difference when you're trying to blend (especially a smokey eye!) and add definition. I'm around an NC35-40 and this really helps blend other e/s. Will buy this again when I run out!

I used this as my crease color with honesty and I found I prefer it as just a lid color! To me I see a bit of an orange color but I love it! It is not a light brown so if you want that don't waste your money I would go with Omega or Mulch. I really like this!

Soft brown is my everyday lid color. The nam is misleading because it's not brown but peachy beige. It goes on smooth and last all day with a primer. It's a great staple.

I had this color for a while, I never get to use it, but recently I've been using it to make my smokey eyes even or I pair it with brule, this is a good transition color or just for everyday use, not too harsh and only gives a neutral look. It's not on my ignore list anymore because I use it almost everyday!

At first I hated this color because its not brown at all its peachy and I have dark NC50 complextion. However I watched a youtuber and she used it as a lid color with goldmine and handwritten and it looked great. Actually this is my everyday look minus the goldmine and plus swiss chocolate.

This is my favorite crease/transistion color. I wear this shadow everyday with all of my looks. I first heard about it when makeupbytiffanyd mentioned it in her videos so I decided to try it out. I like to wear this for natural looks in the crease with brule as an all over lid color and soft brown in the crease and if i want to deepen the look up a little I will just add something else in the outer corner add liner and mascara and i'm good to go. This is also a good crease color if you're wearing a green like sumptous olive on the lid or even if you're wearing a purple like nocturnelle. Great transition/blending color, would definetly reccomend.

I nearly returned this shadow because it was so dry/matte (crumbling a bit when I opened it) and it looked very meh.
I'm so glad I kept it. It's the perfect crease/blending color for my skin tone and eye shadow palette. Works with smokey eyes, light neutral eyes. It's the little shadow that could!

At first I didn't know what to do with this shadow. It just seemed SO matte that it looked heavy on my lids. However, I discovered that it's an awesome crease colour with shimmery gold shadow on the lid. Really makes my green eyes POP and tones down the shimmery lid colour. I like this with Gold Mode pigment and Stila Sun or Oasis e/s especially.

I've been using Wedge in my crease and thought Soft Brown would be nice as well. Unfortunately it's too orange for my skintone...I will try to use it as a transition color when I do smokey eyes and see if that works any better.

Performance Lifting Advanced Nutrition Is...Nutrition with a Plan
A new frontier of targeted, performance elevating nutrition has arrived with the debut of Purity's P.L.A.N. 200™ Formula. PLAN200 stands for Performance Lifting Advanced Nutrition, and this innovative formula features clinically validated nutraceuticals, KSM66® Ashwagandha + CereBoost 200. Both of these botanicals are unique in that they are clinically tested, validated and deliver health benefits on a multitude of fronts.

Appealing to people who lead an active lifestyle, PLAN 200 taps into the science of these two legendary herbal tonics tuning up the mind while rejuvenating the body. Each 2 capsule serving provides 675 mg of KSM-66®, the elite Ashwagandha, plus 200 mg of Cereboost™, the American Ginseng clinically shown to support working memory.* PLAN200 - is an advanced formula that gives you a nutritional advantage. These are not ordinary ingredients. Expect extraordinary benefits. Plan to feel better, plan to be sharp and on your game. Plan to win. PLAN200 benefits include its ability to:

KSM-66® Ashwagandha and Cereboost™ - Dual Action Energizing Support for the Body and Mind
Ashwagandha - An Ancient Herb for Stresses of 21th Century Life
Revered for centuries in the herbal tradition of India, Ashwagandha is rapidly gaining recognition as an herb that effectively helps the body cope with stress while elevating performance of the mind and body.
P.L.A.N. 200 contains no ordinary Ashwagandha… This is KSM-66®
There is ordinary Ashwagandha and then there is KSM-66. Recognized as the finest, high quality Aswagandha extract available, KSM-66® Ashwagandha was designated as Finalist for the "Best Botanical" Award by the editors of New Hope Media's "Functional Ingredients" magazine. KSM-66® also received the 2012 "Innovative Ingredient of the Year" Award at Panacea, South Asia's largest trade show and conference on natural products.
Unlike other Aswagandha extracts that are mixtures of roots and leaves, KSM-66® is extracted exclusively from Ashwagandha roots, which concentrates the active ingredients, a group of natural compounds called "Withanolides". The most beneficial Withanolides are found only in the root. Double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials conducted on KSM-66 at numerous academic institutes include the following studies which showcase its performance elevating attributes:
- KSM-66 in Stress and General Well Being in Healthy Adults
- KSM-66 and its Efficacy in Cardio Endurance in Sports Athletes
- KSM-66 for Healthy Libido Function
- KSM-66 in Supporting Muscle Strength and Size
Cereboost 200™ American Ginseng - Clinically Tested Support for Working Memory and Cognition
Cereboost® is a clinically tested, potent and unique form of American Ginseng well established for its ability to promote healthy brain function and cognitive performance.* And just like its cousin, Panax Ginseng, the American Ginseng found in Cereboost is an adaptogen -- making it the perfect partner to KSM-66® Ashwagandha for vitalizing the body and mind.* The active ingredients found in Cereboost are called called "ginsenosides", and they are obtained from extracting the root of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). Unlike regular American Ginseng though, CereBoost has a unique profile of ginsenosides that ensures its beneficial effects especially for working memory.*
Clinical research bears this out: the effect of CereBoost® on cognition has been tested in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, crossover study. The results are compelling -- 200 milligrams of CereBoost® -- produced improvements in working memory speed, working memory capacity and attention accuracy in as little as two hours. (see graphic illustration)*
Cereboost, as measured by a Choice Reaction Time (CRT) test, supports psychomotor agility (coordination of physical movement and thinking) and mental flexibility.*

VALPARAISO | Valparaiso's troubles started just after the microphone failed during the National Anthem on Friday night.
The Vikings struggled to shut down Lake Central in the paint and the Indians used runs of 16-5 and 13-3 to win 43-34 in a Duneland Athletic Conference contest.
Jessica Bell led the Indians with 13 points and eight rebounds and Jessica Delbovo added 10 points and six rebounds off the bench.
"Our two seniors played like seniors tonight," Lake Central coach Marc Urban said. "Rebounding is one of the most important things in the game and we make it a focus every day in practice."
The Indians finished the night with a 29-11 rebounding advantage and took 30 of their 36 shots from inside the paint. Valparaiso coach Jeanette Gray could do nothing but shake her head after the game.
"You're not going to win if you allow 30 shots in the paint," Gray said. "They'd miss a shot and then they'd be right there to get their own rebound. We knew rebounding was going to be a struggle."
Valparaiso led 7-6 in the first quarter when the Indians rattled off a 16-5 scoring run that gave Lake Central a 22-10 halftime lead. The Vikings battled back, knocking down three 3-pointers in the third quarter and cutting the deficit to five points midway through the quarter.
"We challenged them at halftime and I thought we responded well," Gray said. "I thought we were more confident. We were looking to shoot and we did a better job."
Bell scored six of her team-high 13 points in the third quarter as the Indians (4-3, 3-2 DAC) ripped off a 13-3 run to take a double digit lead into the fourth quarter where Lake Central spent much of the time on the free throw line.
"It was important for us to get a substantial lead in the first half because we have a tendency to play pretty bad in the third quarter," Bell said. "This was big for us and I'm proud of our team for answering."
Grace Withrow led the Vikings (1-6, 0-3) with 15 points and added three rebounds, four assists and two steals. Rolanda Currington came off the bench to add six points and three steals for the Indians.

Overdraft News
The latest news on overdraft fees, overdraft fees and other bank fees from the Center for Responsible Lending.
- BancorpSouth Agrees to Settle Overdraft Lawsuit for $1.75M
Memphis Business Journal 09 Apr 2012
BancorpSouth Bank has agreed to a $1.75-million settlement in a class-action lawsuit involving improper overdraft fees. The bank also agreed to amend its overdraft practices. This case was settled in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. The suit alleged that BancorpSouth's overdraft fee assessment procedures were unlawful, though the bank denied any wrongdoing.
- Stu Straus Charged $1,500 in Fees for Wells Fargo Account He Thought Was Closed
Huffington Post 09 Apr 2012
A West Orange, N.J., man was charged $1,555.61 in overdraft fees after Wells Fargo, without his knowledge, reopened an account he thought had been closed. The fees began with a $10 overdraft fee incurred in 2007, triggered by a forgotten automatic payment from UPS. The payment caused his checking account to overdraw and reopened a line of credit linked as automated overdraft protection. However, small businessman Stu Straus had believed his accounts were closed for good and was never told that he had overdue debt that was snowballing by the day. Wells Fargo eventually rescinded the fees and permanently closed the accounts, but the anecdote illustrates how difficult it is to close bank accounts in the era of electronic payments, automatic billing, and special lines of credit for overdrafts. Last month, in the wake of escalating consumer backlash, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau set up a customer complaint forum on its Web site just for checking accounts. Currently, there is no standard regulation among banks that addresses account termination and mobility. Each of the nearly 7,000 U.S. banks writes its own account-closing rules. The burden is completely on customers; and simply informing a teller that you want an account closed is not enough. After a customer closes an account, he or she must double- and triple-check that all related automatic payments have been moved to the account, and then write a letter to the bank confirming the account closure.
- TBL: Elderly Woman Bounces 70 Checks, Webster Bank Charges $2,500 in Fees
Courant.com 07 Apr 2012
While the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is working to protect Americans from excessive bank fees and late charges, the country's elderly and low-income population continues to suffer. A situation at Webster Bank in West Hartford, Conn., highlights just such a problem. An 88-year-old customer reportedly bounced 70 checks in three months last year, each infraction triggered a penalty of $36; and instead of calling her, the bank charged her more than $2,500 in overdraft fees. Like many banks, Webster mailed out written notices to Lasalle. But the elderly woman's son-in-law said the bank never called her to inform her of the situation. The checks were written out to charitable organizations, according to her family. After receiving numerous notices in the mail, Lasalle became concerned and contacted family members. In July 2011, the bank agreed to reduce the charges by $350 and by another $150 in August. But after that, Webster said it would not reduce the charges, saying that the fees were legitimate and that it notified the customer. However, the bank said that it is reviewing its overdraft policies.
- Debit-Fee Limit Hits BofA the Hardest, Study Shows
Charlotte Business Journal 06 Apr 2012
A government cap on debit-card interchange fees has negatively affected Charlotte-based Bank of America more than any other bank in the country. According to a recent analysis by SNL Financial, the banks revenue from debit and credit-card process fees fell from $486.5 million to just $1.05 billion in the last quarter of last year. The numbers fell 32 percent from the $1.54 billion the bank earned in 2010. The bank is seeking to make up for the lost funds by charging consumers for banking services and that is expected to continue.
- Comerica Customers Seek Mediation of Overdraft Dispute
Bloomberg 06 Apr 2012
Comerica Inc. customers are seeking private mediation in a lawsuit targeting the bank's overdraft fees, according to a court filing. Mediation is "an effort to resolve this action without further litigation," according to a joint motion filed April 5 in federal court in Miami. The first session is scheduled for May 23. At least 30 banks have cases before U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King in Miami, with customers alleging that the banks shuffle debit-card transactions to maximize overdraft penalties.
- Regulators Cite BankAtlantic Overdraft Protection Program
South Florida Business Journal 06 Apr 2012
The Office of Thrift Supervision recently gave BankAtlantic a rare "needs to improve" rating on its Community Reinvestment Act exam. While the exam was mostly positive, the federal regulators determined the bank engaged in illegal practices involving automatic overdraft protection. Regulators found that the company participated in illegal and deceptive practices, which negatively affected a large number of customers. However, it is unlikely that any type of penalty will be imposed.
- Consumer Loan Delinquency Rates Drop Across the Board
International Business Times 05 Apr 2012
Consumer loan delinquency rates fell in all 11 categories that the American Bankers Association (ABA) tracked in the fourth quarter of 2011. This indicates that Americans are reducing private debt and stabilizing their personal finances. "It's very rare that delinquencies improve in every single loan category. The last time that happened was in the fourth quarter of 2004," ABA Chief Economist James Chessen said. Despite the declines, however, loans in certain housing categories remain high compared to historic levels. The health of the jobs market also remains poor compared to pre-recession levels, though this market has seen improvements since mid-2009. The Federal Reserve's financial obligation ratio (FOR) is also below pre-recession levels. The FOR compares obligations in debt, automobile, rental, homeowners' insurance, and property tax payments to disposable personal income; it is now at the lowest level since 1984.
- TD Bank Overdraft Fee Lawsuit Certified as Class-Action Case
Bloomberg 04 Apr 2012
U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King has ruled that a claim against Toronto Dominion Bank can proceed as a class-action lawsuit. Bank customers claim that they were gouged on checking account overdraft fees. The judge certified the class in federal court in Miami. Customers claim that the bank, Canada's second-largest lender, reordered account withdrawals to maximize fees when customers overdrew accounts. The class includes all Toronto Dominion Bank customers who had paid an overdraft fee because of the reordering, from the statute of limitations until Aug. 13, 2010. King ruled that different statutes of limitations apply in different states. The bank would not comment on the suit, but attorney Bill Kayatta argued against the certification, saying that each customer had a different situation: some knew of the bank's policy of reordering overdrafts, some learned after the overdraft fees, and some possibly never knew.
- BancorpSouth Settles Overdraft Fees Complaint for $1.75 Million
Bloomberg 28 Mar 2012
BancorpSouth Inc. has reached a $1.75 million settlement with customers who allege the company unfairly levied overdraft fees against them. According to the lawsuit, the bank had manipulated customers' transactions to trigger as many overdraft fees as possible. U.S. District Judge Robert T. Dawson in El Dorado, Ark., gave preliminary approval to the accord on March 26. BancorpSouth asked a judge in Florida, where similar cases against banks were consolidated, to halt proceedings against it until the settlement is complete. The settlement class includes more than 350,000 current and former customers of BancorpSouth.
- New: State Lawmaker Wants to Regulate Overdraft Fees
Go Local Prov 27 Mar 2012
Rhode Island Sen. James C. Sheehan (D-Dist. 36, Narragansett, North Kingstown) has introduced a bill to limit bank overdraft fees to protect consumers from added financial distress. The measure, 2012-S 2437, also would prohibit banks from charging a fee for an overdraft amount of less than $10 in a single calendar day. Banks additionally would be limited to a total of three overdraft fees per day, unless the total overdraft amount is more than $100. Another provision stipulates that banks and credit unions must allow customers to "opt in" to a program that would require debits to be taken chronologically rather than in order from largest to smallest. This would keep financial institutions from employing tactics such as shuffling transactions in order to charge as many overdraft fees as possible. "Overdraft fees may be a legitimate mechanism for banks to deal with customers who, inadvertently or otherwise, bounce a check or debit from time to time," Sheehan said. "But it should not be a mechanism to allow financial institutions to gouge their customers, and the process that many institutions are following seems like nothing more than an arbitrary, made-up procedure to collect more fees."
- Do Bank Policies Promote Extra Fees?
Click2Houston.com 21 Mar 2012
Several consumer groups claim that some banks manipulate the order in which transactions are processed to accumulate higher consumer fees. Attorney Bill Voss represents 20 bank customers in a suit against First Convenience Bank in Texas. According to the lawsuit, processing customers' debit charges out of chronological order can cause higher penalty fees if customers spend more money than what is in their accounts. If a customer with $50 left in an account makes four $10 debit charges, another $100 debit transaction would put the account over the remaining balance and incur one overdraft fee. However, if the bank processes the $100 charge first, sending the account into overdraft protection, then the customer would pay four overdraft fees for the four $10 purchases. An attorney for First Convenience Bank says that the bank processes all charges and checks at the end of every day, from the largest amount to the smallest amount, but deducts automatic bill pay before anything else. Many banks say that processing the largest amount first makes sure charges for bigger expenses, like mortgage payments, make it through, but some consumer groups doubt this explanation. "The argument that this benefits consumers is just absolutely false," said Josh Frank, a researcher for the Center for Responsible Lending. "It's confusing and it's just a way to create fees and harvest extra fees." He says that some large banks like Citi and Wells Fargo stopped reordering account charges last year, an example other banks should follow. Meanwhile, he recommends that consumers opt out of overdraft protection.
- SECU Issues Letter Supporting CFPB's Overdraft Reforms
BankCreditNews.com 20 Mar 2012
The State Employees' Credit Union (SECU) has issued a letter in response to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's call for public comment on overdraft practices. The letter highlights SECU's overdraft services, practices, and moderation efforts, focusing specifically on its low-cost or free options to help customers avoid overdraft fees. More than 80 percent of SECU's account holders choose the standard overdraft option, which prevents the fees associated with bounced checks. With this option, members can choose a credit card, deposit account, or open-end loan to be used as an overdraft safeguard, with a 50-cent fee charged to the overdrawn account for the service. SECU customers can avoid fees entirely by using a two-way text alert system that informs members of potential "red flags" such as a low account balance.
- Citizens Bank Boosts Checking Fees
Boston Globe 20 Mar 2012
Citizens Bank, the second-largest retail bank in Massachusetts, will make several key changes next month. Starting April 23, the bank will double the monthly charge for its Green Checking account, from $4.99 to $9.99. Customers can avoid the fee with a balance of at least $1,500 or by making five qualifying transactions, such as using a debit card, each month. The bank will also increase the monthly fee for its personal checking with interest account to $11.99 next month. An average daily balance of $2,500 or five qualifying transactions each month can prevent this fee. Other bank changes include eliminating its basic checking and its Business Partners II, III, and Plus checking accounts. Basic Checking customers will be moved to the Green Checking; business customers will be switched to the new Business Advisor Checking account. The bank will eliminate free or discounted fees for check orders for its Circle Checking accounts. According to spokeswoman Lauren DiGeronimo, these changes at Citizens Bank are part of a review that began a year and a half ago to boost profits and standardize the bank's products.
- SECU Writes CFPB With Example of Overdraft Program
Credit Union Times 19 Mar 2012
North Carolina's State Employees' Credit Union has written the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with a description of its own checking account program and is asking the agency to consider it as a prototype for what a consumer-friendly program can look like. The 1.7 million-member, $23.6 billion credit union says more than 80 percent of its 900,000 checking account holders utilize the SECU's regular overdraft option to avoid steep fees for bounced checks. "This option provides members with the opportunity to select their deposit accounts, open-end loans or credit card to be used for automatic transfer of funds, when needed to 'pay' a checking account item," SECU wrote. "A $0.50 transfer fee is debited from the protected checking account for the service." SECU added that its members can avoid fees altogether by using text messaging or going online to transfer funds.
- Chase Lowers Fees, Bank Shifts Focus From Low Balance to High Net Worth Clients
Huffington Post 14 Mar 2012
While many of the country's biggest banks are contemplating raising fees, JPMorgan Chase recently announced that it plans to cut them. In a letter sent to customers, the bank said it will reduce its overdraft protection transfer fee from $12 to $10. The bank also said it will cut its stop payment fee from $34 to $30; and if it is done online, it will cost $25, down from $27. Chase said the new fees will take effect on March 19, 2012. Other banks continue to move in the opposite direction on fees, however, with Bank of America recently confirming plans to charge customers monthly fees on certain checking accounts beginning in May and Citibank now requiring checking account holders to maintain a minimum balance of $15,000 -- up from $6,000 -- in order to dodge its monthly fee of $20.
- Citizens Bank, Customers Agree to Mediation in Checking Overdraft Lawsuit
Bloomberg 13 Mar 2012
Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging overdraft fees asked for a delay in proceedings while they pursue private mediation, according to a court filing. At least 30 banks have cases pending in the same Miami court. The customers say the banks reorder debit-card transactions in their computers to maximize overdraft fees.
- Wyoming ATM Fee Limit May Soon Be Withdrawn
Billings Gazette (MT) 08 Mar 2012
The Wyoming Legislature approved a measure that, if approved by the governor, would abolish the statewide $2 ATM fee limit. Wyoming is the only state in the nation with a legal cap on ATM fees; and backers of the bill, Senate File 82, say it is unfair to local ATM owners who often cannot earn enough on the fees to maintain the machines, especially those in rural regions. Critics argue that if the cap is scrapped, ATM owners will rip off customers with exorbitant fees. The bill's sponsor, state Sen. Bruce Burns (R-Sheridan), said that while fees are likely to go up in some places -- such as resort areas -- he does not anticipate that ATM owners will begin fleecing their customers.
- Durbin Blasts B of A Over Checking Fees
American Banker 02 Mar 2012
Following an announcement by Bank of America that it will soon roll out a new monthly fee on some checking accounts, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) blasted the mega-bank. A recent story in the Wall Street Journal reported that BofA plans to assess monthly fees to customers who do not bank online, maintain a minimum balance, or buy other banking products. The move follows the bank's earlier attempt to assess a $5 monthly fee on debit card holders, which was later abandoned. "Four months to the day after Bank of America rolled back plans to squeeze their customers instead of serving them, they are at it again," said Durbin. He is urging banks to make a clear disclosure to customers regarding all fees in an "upfront, transparent and consumer-friendly manner."
- OK, Consumer Advocates: How Would YOU Set Bank Fees?
BusinessWeek 01 Mar 2012
As regulators move to rein in bank fees and financial institutions continue to seek different avenues of profit, consumer advocates have their own thoughts about how people should be charged for services. Transparency is the primary unifying theme among them, with Ed Mierzwinski of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group citing reports that many banks fail to disclose pricing information as mandated under the Truth in Savings Act. "Hidden fees are one of the worst problems," he declares. "If we have clear fees, then we have the ability to comparison shop." However, adds Kathleen Day of the Center for Responsible Lending, even transparent fees should not be "punitive." As an example, she points to the charges associated with overdrawing an account or taking out a high-interest payday loan at a bank; these fees "pound customers into the ground," she says, because they snowball rapidly and force borrowers deeper into the red. As fees do become more transparent, though, Day warns that consumers will have to inure themselves to seeing costs upfront that previously were hidden. "It may take the public time to get used to having fees a la carte," she notes. Bundled services in the past have left consumers paying for services they do not actually need, but Consumers Union senior policy counsel Pamela Banks insists that bank fees should be assessed only for the services that account holders do use. As a case in point, she says consumers who have just a checking account tend to pay more than those who have multiple lines of business with a provider and, thus, tend to use more services. "Why should I have to pay the fee for someone who is wealthy or has more means than I?" she questions. Rather, Banks suggests that financial services providers offer "a menu that [consumers] can select from and get what they need."
- Study: Fees Driving Customers Away From Big Banks
CreditCards.com 27 Feb 2012
A new study by J.D. Power and Associates reflects a jump in the number of Americans who are switching from larger banks to smaller financial institutions, motivated largely by a bevy of new fees introduced by big banks. Michael Beird of J.D. Power stated in a press release that consumers vote "with their feet" when banks start charging them more for basic services. "It is apparent that new or increased fees are the proverbial straws that break the camel's back," said Beird, who added that across banks of all sizes, more than 50 percent of customers who said fees were the main reason they were leaving also complained about the service at their former banking institution. The study found that the number of consumers switching banks has increased every year for the past three years, from 7.7 percent in 2010 to 8.7 percent last year and 9.6 percent in 2012. About one in 10 customers at a big, regional, or midsize bank switched in 2011 compared to small banks and credit unions, where only about one in 100 customers switched, according to the study.

A new Maple Grove police chief is expected to be named in the next week.
On Saturday, the City Council interviewed six finalists to replace David Jess, who is retiring May 30 after three years as chief and three decades with the department.
"He has been a very dedicated leader for 30 years. We will miss him," City Administrator Al Madsen said.
It's not the only west-metro city with a new top police leader. Minnetonka Police Chief Mark Raquet is retiring at the end of May, and the city has appointed Jeff Sebenaler, a Minnetonka police captain, to the position. And last week, Robbinsdale named Jim Franzen to the top police spot; the former captain has been in the interim role since the city's former chief, Steven Smith, resigned in March after he was arrested in a prostitution sting.

Duc Kien Has A Jacket For You
I've been hunting for a blue denim jacket for months. I have a black denim jacket–but not a blue one. This need revolves around Los Angeles weather, a climate that is never too cold at night but is never really that hot either: the weather is perfect for a light jacket. What's the perfect light jacket? A jean jacket. We got word in the mail from local maker/designer David Kien about a project he's undertaken that basically has solved my problem: he's made a simplified, affordable jean jacket that is intended to be the launching point for a bigger outfitting enterprise. His brand is Duc Kien and he has launched a Kickstarter to get word of his making out into the world.

Who Saw This Coming From Danny Green Besides The Spurs?Basketball, Bull City — By Joe Simmons on May 15, 2012 at 10:00 am
If you were to have asked me what UNC players would be making the biggest impact in the NBA from that 2009 UNC basketball team, my answer in 2009 would have easily been Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson. In fact, I would have bet any amount of money on it.
Upon entering the NBA in 2009, it appeared that I was correct. Lawson played a vital role in his rookie season and is now a star for the Nuggets. Hansbrough became a big part of what the Pacers was doing as a rookie and has become one of the top sixth men in the league.
If you were to look at the remaining draftees, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green, you would have thought that they were on borrowed time in the NBA. In fact, during their inaugural seasons, they were barely noticeable in the league.
From day one, Green started making a name for himself as a goon on the Cleveland Cavaliers roster. Green was notably the hype man for Lebron James and company as he often danced for the team the way that he did at UNC before games.
What a difference a few years make. Now you can argue that Green has become one of the most vital players in the league as his role with the San Antonio Spurs has been clearly defined and he is excelling in a way that no one could have predicted.
We all know Danny Green isn't going to light up the scoreboard. He isn't that type of guy. He barely averaged double figures his last season at UNC. So ask yourself what makes him so compelling to the Spurs?
- Upon entering this season, if I were to have told you that Danny Green would be a starter for the San Antonio Spurs, most people would have laughed and told me to go kick rocks. Green took it upon himself to bring his "I can do anything" mentality to the Spurs
- If you sit here and tell me that you saw this coming, you are a bold-face liar, or you are a relative of Danny Green. Until this season, his career has basically been on a milk carton. In fact, when the Spurs first signed him, he was waived two weeks later.
- If you think about it, it really shouldn't be that shocking. Green is also the only player in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists, 150 three-pointers, 150 blocks and 150 steals.
- Something about playing for the Spurs has given players new life. With Gary Neal last season and apparently Danny Green this one, the Spurs have figured out their way of competing. Instead of signing too many overpaid middle-class guys, they've focused resources on signing relatively unknown players who come cheap, and then developed them into middle-class players.
- The more I think about it, it should be second nature. The make up of that Spurs team fits well with what Green played with at UNC. Tony Parker is a penetrator like Ty Lawson, but better. Green has learned to be in the right place at the right time to get his shot. He has also taken the role as a defense-first guy, therefore increasing his importance to the team.
One thing I have learned in evaluating teams is that you can't develop superstars. They already have everything that they will ever have upon arrival. They either fit or they don't. Middle-of-the-pack players can either turn into players that contribute or, on some nights, they can carry the team. It looks like the Spurs found that guy in Danny Green.
Stay Breezy ~ I'm Out!Tags: Danny Green, North Carolina Tar Heels, San Antonio Spurs
Man I never thought Danny Green would amount to much. He was just a flash in the pan. Now he is a viable star. You are right…. Who in the hell saw this coming??
You can call me a bold-faced liar if you want, but I'm not surprised Danny Green is carving out his proper niche in the NBA. Now, I would be lying if I said I thought he'd be starting for a contender, but given those numbers you laid out during his collegiate career, and after watching him quite literally be Mr. Do It All at UNC, I figured he'd be a key bench contributor eventually.
I mean, the guy can defend, he can rebound, he can shoot, and while he's not flashy at any of them, he's a versatile guy with good size. Not shocking to me that a brilliant franchise like San Antonio is getting the most out of him.
"go kick rocks"
Is that yours? If so, it should be a signature line for you.
Good piece.
