GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones says he deserved the recent scolding he got from Aaron Rodgers.
Jones acknowledges that his play in Thursday's victory over the Chicago Bears deserved scrutiny, and is shrugging off any temporary tension as a sign of two players showing their competitive nature.
Beyond that, Jones says there's no reason for anybody to think twice about Rodgers' leadership skills. With the Packers preparing for a Monday night game at Seattle, Jones calls Rodgers "a natural-born leader."
The minor dust-up was a byproduct of a more concerning trend for the Packers, who have not met their typically high offensive standards in the first two games of the season.

Rush Biography
Source: http://www.canoe.ca
In true 1969 fashion, Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee named their act The Rush so as to fit into the rock gentry led by The Who, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Their home base was in Sarnia, Ontario with original drummer John Rutsey playing mostly cover tunes by Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly and Cream. Soon they would make their way to the lights of Toronto and set up residence at such bars as The Gasworks, The Running Pump and the old Abbey Road Pub.
A signing to Ray Danniels' fledgling SRO Productions led to their first, self-titled release in 1973 on Moon Records. Rutsey would soon leave the band due to poor health and St. Catherines native Neil Peart was brought in not only as drummer, but as songwriter as well. Danniels' new label, Anthem (named after an Ayn Rand novel that was also a song Peart wrote for 'Fly By Night') re-issued the first album in 1974.
Rush's direction began to change from a straight ahead 4 chord bar band to cerebral progressive rock entity. Their second album, 'Fly By Night' still had short commercially accessible songs and they were able to land a deal with Phonogram in the US due to consistent airplay on Cleveland radio.
1975 saw the more progressive 'Caress Of Steel' drawing curious reviews from critics, but it was 1976's Terry Brown produced '2112' that changed not only their outlook on Rush, but at progressive rock in general. The album is generally considered a Canadian milestone (next to Klaatu's 'Hope' and FM's 'Black Noise') and was based on Ayn Rand's futuristic concepts.
It wasn't until 1977's 'A Farewell To Kings' that Rush began to see the fruits of commercial success with their first charting single, "Closer To The Heart", which was the beginning of a long string of radio hits including "Spirit Of Radio", "Limelight", "Tom Sawyer", "New World Man" and "Subdivisions" which defied the critics who believed progressive rock was dead in the 1980's.
Rush's 25 year commitment to recording and touring has spawned several live albums, including 1998's 'Different Stages' 3-CD set, and their constant input into charitable causes (in the past they would hold annual food drives at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens) has kept the band focused.
They received the Order Of Canada in the 1990's and each of the members has enjoyed outside pursuits so that Rush would not become stale: Geddy Lee produced other bands including Boys Brigade and the SCTV inspired 'Great White North' album featuring Bob & Doug McKenzie (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas); Neil Peart has toured the world several times on bicycle; and Alex Lifeson has leant his guitar playing to many other acts recordings including the annual Kumbaya Festival and recently branched out as a solo artist with a project called Victor featuring lead vocals by Dalbello and former I, Mother Earth frontman Edwin.
Rush has notched up twenty-three consecutive gold and platinum records, the third longest string behind The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and tied with KISS. The band re-issued its first 15 albums as audiophile remastered CDs in 1996 and 1997.

Read the opening to the biography again and this time take in the context of the message.
Sarnia is touted as their home base...not their hometown. There is plenty of biography excerpts out there that speak of Rush playing Zepplin, Cream, etc....cover tunes in and around Sarnia.

the production
Either/Or Films' next narrative feature is Someplace Like America. As was the case with the company's first film The Sensation of Sight, producing partners Aaron J. Wiederspahn (writer/director) and Buzz McLaughlin (producer) are heading the project.
Currently in development, Someplace Like America is an original fictional narrative set in New Hampshire's North Country after the closing of the region's paper mills.
underlying material
The film is inspired by two non-fiction books by three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Dale Maharidge and Michael Williamsonthe 1980s classic Journey to Nowhere: The Saga of the New Underclass and Someplace Like America (to be published spring 2011 by University of California Press) that revisits the issues of the earlier book and explores the depths of the current national economic downturn and its human repercussions.
Bruce Springsteen, who has long been an on-going champion of Maharidge and Williamson's work and its eventual fictional translation to the screen, wrote the introduction to the 1996 edition of Journey to Nowhere, and has offered two of the songs from his Ghost of Tom Joad album to the filmsongs inspired by the book. Bruce continues to be actively supportive of the projectand has written the Foreword to the new book Someplace Like America: Tales from the New Great Depression.
about the film
While the two non-fiction books document the decline of American industry over the past three decades and the resulting struggle of the disenfranchised working man, the film Someplace Like America presents a fictional series of interwoven personal stories with an ensemble cast of characters, revealing the heart of an American working class community with all its struggles, fears, and laughter in the face of increasing economic hard times.
The connective thread in the film is the saga of Dutch, a long unemployed steelworker and transient poet, as he returns to his estranged and ailing family abandoned years before and attempts to reestablish contact through his ten-year-old grandson.
Serving as a microcosm of a growing national dilemma, Someplace Like America presents the human face of severe economic downturn and ultimately illumines the power of hope and perseverance while confronting difficult and sometimes impossible odds.
the producing team
Joining the production team along with Wiederspahn and McLaughlin are producers Tom Koranda of Los Angeles-based Big Water Films and Carey Nelson Burch, head of her own management firm My Own Shingle and for 12 plus years a Film/TV packaging agent with the William Morris Agency.
accompanying documentary
Also in process is a documentary by documentarian Ron Wyman co-produced with Either/Or Films and Wyman's company Zero Gravity Films. The doc focuses on Maharidge and Williamson's career-long dedication to reporting on the disenfranchised and unemployed and features many of the people they have encountered along the way. It will serve, among other things, as the connective tissue between Maharidge and Williamson's work and the feature film.

Hey, it's you! Glad you're back to read part two of my adjusted Top 50 player rankings. I won't waste any more time since this is going to be massive. Let's get to it with number 29.
29. Kwame Brown (Previously Unranked)
Shoot! This isn't the timeline for bad executive decisions made by Michael Jordan; this is the top 50 player rankings. Honest mistake.
29. Kevin Garnett (Previously #19)
This straight-from-high-schooler worked out a little better than Kwame. I dropped Garnett because more often than not, it looks like he's fighting a losing battle against father time. I still wouldn't want to have to deal with KG in a playoff series though. There is always the chance he could turn back the hands of time and unleash some vintage Big Ticket performances while trash talking the opposition and eating Honey Nut Cheerios in the process.
28. Deron Williams (Previously #10)
Deron Williams: "Did you hear this garbage about that kid Sonny Giuliano dropping me 18 spots in his NBA player rankings?"
Deron Williams' Publicist: "Well a lot of it has to do with the fact that you're in the middle of your worst statistical season since your rookie year and—"
Deron Williams: "What does he know about basketball? And what do you know about basketball? You're just here to make sure people like me."
Deron Williams' Publicist: "About that… you've got to stop getting coaches fired. You're making my job really difficult."
27. Jrue Holiday (Previously on Toughest Omissions)
Holiday makes the biggest jump of any of the players previously on the toughest omissions list, and for good reason. I forecasted that Jrue Holiday would make the leap into the top 50 because of the 76ers' addition of Andrew Bynum. Well, Bynum has been busy bowling and growing out his hair to extraordinary lengths, but Holiday's progression hasn't slowed a bit. Holiday's jump from mid-level point guard to arguably a top five point guard in the league has been the deciding factor in keeping the 76ers in the playoff picture after Philadelphia made a trade that left them with nothing to show for it for the time being. Thanks to Holiday (and let's give some credit to Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young too, they've both come along this season as well) the 76ers are hanging around in the East, and maybe with a break or two (Rondo's torn ACL may be one, potential roster-busting trades for the Bucks and Hawks may end up being another), we could end up seeing Jrue Holiday featured in the playoffs.
26. Paul Pierce (Previously #21)
The truth is, Paul Pierce has lost a step. You can't tell by the numbers, but he's definitely lost a step. He isn't as quick off the dribble as he used to be. He can't defend like he did in years past. He doesn't have the spring he had in 2007. It's his 15th season in the league, it's to be expected. In a lot of ways, he isn't the same Paul Pierce he once was.
The truth is, I'm still terrified of Paul Pierce. And as a LeBron James fan, I'm still terrified of the Celtics. Even though common sense and conventional wisdom says I should be hoping for a plush 1st round matchup against the Celtics, I'm praying Boston manages to fight out of the 8th spot because I don't want the Heat to have to deal with the Celtics in round one. That's way too much stress for me way too early.
The truth is, Paul Pierce is still the truth. Even though he can't bring his A game every night, it's there every once in a while, and Pierce's A game is just as dangerous as anyone else's. That's why I'm terrified.
25. LaMarcus Aldridge (Previously #22)
24. David Lee (Previously #50)
I have a ton of love for LA and WCW (White Chris Webber for those of you who aren't familiar with the Shaquille O'Neal given nickname of David Lee). They are both all-star caliber power forwards who do just about anything you could want a power forward to do. But the problem is, David Lee's point guard's all-star credentials are greater than either of these two. I'll be picking that nit in a minute.
23. Chris Bosh (Previously #20)
To avoid the wrath of my mother for dropping Chris Bosh in the rankings, let me use this time to say that I'm half way on Chris Bosh's side when he claims he is a hall of famer. Sure, he might've went a little too far when he said he was a Hall of Famer "like four years ago", but the case could potentially be made that the forgotten man in the Heat Big Three will indeed someday end up in Springfield. Let's look at his résumé so far:
Career averages of 19.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 50% FG, 80% FT… 8 time All-Star… 7th in 2006-07 MVP voting, 12th in 2009-10 MVP voting… One 2nd Team All-NBA… Three seasons of at least 22 points and 10 rebounds… 3rd best player on one Championship runner-up, and one NBA Champion
Well, maybe that isn't the most rock-solid résumé, but consider this: It's not a stretch that Bosh could end up one of the Top 50 all-time scorers and rebounders. It's also not a stretch that Chris Bosh could end up with a couple of more titles. So let's assume Bosh ends his career with 18,000 career points, 8,500 rebounds, 10 All-Star appearances, 3 NBA titles as the 3rd best player on the team, and a few "Whoa, Chris Bosh is really important to the Heat" moments like he had last year in the playoffs. Is that good enough to make the Hall of Fame? I'd say yes. And the kind folks at www.basketball-reference.com seem to think so too. Bosh is currently the 11th most likely active player to make the Hall of Fame. This system is a little flawed though, considering Steve Nash is currently 20th on that list. Let's just put the Chris Bosh Hall of Fame argument on hold for a few years, and while we're doing that, I can pray my mom will still make me delicious dinners.
22. Joakim Noah (Previously #45)
This man is the 22nd best player in the NBA.
21. Pau Gasol (Previously #17)
20. Dwight Howard (Previously #3)
Try to contain your excitement… It's time for another fun-sized round of "Make up fun fake trades on ESPN's NBA Trade Machine that will likely never happen." I can feel your excitement seeping through the computer screen. I'm a firm believer in the idea that the Lakers best move is to keep Pau, trade Dwight Howard (he's leaving Los Angeles in six months anyways) and try to make the playoffs on the shoulders of Kobe Bryant, some added depth, and Pau Gasol when he comes back from his torn plantar fascia.
Trade #1: Los Angeles gets Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, Hakim Warrick and DeSagana Diop; Charlotte gets Dwight Howard.
NOTE: Realistically, this trade never comes close to happening for a myriad of reasons. But the thought of Dwight Howard (a notorious goofball; someone who has the reputation for not being nearly competitive enough) being traded from Los Angeles (where he's been playing with the competitive player in the NBA) to Charlotte (owned by the most competitive athlete ever) makes me laugh.
Trade #2: Los Angeles gets Omer Asik, Patrick Patterson, and Chandler Parsons; Houston gets Dwight Howard.
NOTE: This is quite a bit of value the Lakers would be getting for Dwight, and enough size to survive for the period of time where Pau Gasol will be out. And wouldn't Houston want to make this move too? The Rockets would be able to build around Dwight, the Beard and Linsanity, and they could even market Dwight as the next Hakeem (That's just the marketing side of me thinking. The basketball fan in me is saying Dwight will never be Hakeem). As for Dwight, I can't help but believe he would consider staying in Houston. It's a relatively big market, features a young roster, and he would be lucky enough to be coached by one of the best low post scorers of all-time in Kevin McHale. This is a winning deal for all parties. I'm legitimately impressed with myself right now.
Trade #3: Los Angeles gets Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion and Rodrigue Beaubois; Dallas gets Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace.
NOTE: Again, this is a trade that will never ever happen, but just stay with me for a minute. On one hand, Dallas is another city where Dwight would likely stay, but that's not why I'm making this hypothetical trade. Kobe, Dirk, Marion, and Pau are all under contract through 2014. Add Nash into the mix too. Why not give those five guys a year and a half to play with each other in Los Angeles. I say we contact David Stern and convince him to put this trade into motion. He clearly has the power to do so.
One last thing: I'm sure there are some who will be critical of me for dropping Dwight Howard to 20th. I've made no bones about the fact that he's my least favorite player in the league, but that isn't why I dropped him. Do you see what's happening to the Lakers? It's a damn circus in Los Angeles, and the reason is Dwight Howard. Part of my criteria for ranking the players is their reputation; "Do players like playing with him or is he despised? Does he do little things that make the team better or is he out for himself? Is he known as a hard worker and leader, or someone who doesn't always give a crap?" The answer to each of those three questions is the latter choice. And do we know for sure how healthy Dwight is? I don't think he's any better than 75% healthy and that isn't really a good sign going forward. At this point, I'd be more surprised by a three-year Dwight Howard resurgence than a three-year Dwight Howard downfall.
19. Marc Gasol (Previously #27)
18. Zach Randolph (Previously #38)
Quick tangent: I loved the Grizzlies as a potential sleeper team in the playoffs this year, just like I did last year. I don't think I was necessarily alone in believing that either. We didn't really have any idea how this team would come together in the postseason when all the pieces were completely healthy, but the only reasonable guess would be that they would have a lot of success since two years in a row they were a tough out in the postseason, one year without Rudy Gay, and one year with a hobbled Zach Randolph. But through free agency and some curious trades, the Grizzlies of 2011 (Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Tony Allen, OJ Mayo, Shane Battier, Greivis Vasquez, Darrell Arthur) has been whittled down to Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Tony Allen, a past his prime Tayshaun Prince and a few other young pieces that Grizzlies fans can only hope don't get collective stage fright in the playoffs. What the hell went wrong?
Alright, my tangent is over. It just makes me upset that a potential Western Conference juggernaut was torn apart for no other reason besides the fact that Grizzlies ownership wanted to save money. But here is the silver lining for the Grizzlies; the fact that they have the best big man tandem in the game is enough to leave them with the smallest sliver of a chance to contend for the title. It's microscopic, but you have to find a silver lining.
17. Derrick Rose (Previously #8)
Of all 50 players, well actually closer to 75 or so players I had to evaluate for this list, ranking Derrick Rose was my toughest task. How do you rank someone who was the league MVP in 2011, played well when he played in 2012, tore his ACL, and has missed every single game this year? It's impossible. I kept Andrew Bynum out of the top 50 because he hasn't played a game this season, but I couldn't do the same to Derrick Rose.
I can't exactly explain my rationale for why I have Derrick Rose ranked 17th. I'm sure some people will say Rose should still be a top ten player. Others will probably say that he shouldn't be on the list at all since he hasn't played. I'm not sure if I ranked him properly, and I have no other explanation as to why I put him here besides that it felt right. That's terrible journalism, but it's true. Derrick Rose could easily return and be the same exact player he was before. But there are two major what-ifs that come into play.
What if Derrick Rose is never the player he was prior to tearing his ACL? This is the absolute worst case scenario. It would be one of the greatest sports tragedies ever if Derrick Rose, someone who thrived on track star speed, breathtaking athleticism and miles of heart couldn't be the real Derrick Rose because of torn knee ligaments. But…
What if Derrick Rose goes Adrian Peterson on us? After what All Day just did for the Minnesota Vikings, there is a glimmer of hope that Derrick Rose can return and improbably be better than he was before. Whenever I watch Derrick Rose go down my stomach turns and I feel uneasy. But the thought of Rose returning towards the end of the year, and sparking a storybook run to the Finals is the kind of stuff that gives me goosebumps.
Until Rose returns, I have no idea how far off I am with my ranking of him. For everybody's sake, I hope he ends up much higher than 17th.
16. Stephen Curry (Previously #48)
We're going two routes here. The first route is you listening to Charles Barkley rant about Stephen Curry being snubbed from the All-Star game. The second route is me ranting about Stephen Curry being snubbed from the All-Star game. So click here to listen to Chuck, and then come back for more. Ready, go!
I've always loved Charles Barkley, and this was the cherry on top of the metaphorical sundae. Barkley's voice echoed the tweets of so many who were frustrated with the fact that the brightest young star on the most surprising team of the Western Conference could somehow be left off the roster of the All-Star game. And this wasn't a sentimental "The game is being played in his city, let's get him on the roster" kind of snub; and it wasn't a "This is his last season, let's get him out there one more time" snub either. This was a blatant "This guy has turned around a franchise and is having a historically good season, he should be in there" snub. Did you know Stephen Curry is on pace to become the first player in NBA history to average 20 points, 6 assists and 3 three-pointers made per game? That's been done by exactly no one. Not to mention he's making a somewhat absurd number of three pointers per game on 45% shooting from downtown. And his team (young, relatively inexperienced, and a general surprise) is currently in 6th in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. What else is missing? And besides the fact that Curry's credentials more than warrant a spot on the roster, why wouldn't you want someone who is not only a lights out shooter, but one of the most creative offensive players in the league in a fast paced game like the All-Star game? Seriously, what the hell happened to keep Stephen Curry out of the All-Star game?
And one last thing, Collin Stucko is getting close to owing ten dollars on our "Stephen Curry will never be a top five point guard in the league." It's damn close.
15. Kevin Love (Previously #7)
When I talked about Andre Iguodala last week I touched on this idea that after you play with Team USA you have a breakout season. Well, we saw it from Love after his time with Team USA at the World Championships in 2010, and a potential Love breakout season in 2012-13 was one of my favorite subplots until he developed a seemingly chronic right hand injury. Was there potential of a 28-15 season for Kevin Love? I don't think it was too farfetched.
14. Kyrie Irving (Previously #25)
In two years when LeBron is playing alongside Kyrie Irving in Cleveland, it's going to be a really interesting debate as to who should take the last shot in a close game. Kyrie is that good. And yes, my sources are telling me LeBron will be back in Cleveland in 2014-15.
NOTE: I have no sources, but it's fun to pretend I do.
13. Blake Griffin (Previously #14)
Try not to be too concerned with the statistical drop-off Blake Griffin has had since his rookie year. Whether people see it or not, he's a better player now than he was then. He's much more patient and definitely more polished offensively than he was during that breakout rookie season. And if you are worried about those numbers steadily decreasing, take a look at his minutes per game which have dropped each year as well. The good news for Blake is there is a direct correlation between his minutes and numbers dropping, but commercial appearances going up.
12. Tony Parker (Previously #16)
Last year Tony Parker got a little bit of MVP buzz that I scoffed at mainly because Skip Bayless was firmly planted on the Tony Parker bandwagon, and I didn't like that. Well, I changed my television watching habits, and I don't watch ESPN's First Take anymore, so I have no idea what Skip Bayless is saying about Tony Parker. That allows me to marvel at the season Tony Parker is having without knowing I'm agreeing with Skip. The fact that Tony Parker is averaging 20.7 points and 7.7 assists for the team with the best record in the league is impressive enough. But man oh man, when I look at his shooting percentage (roughly 54%, 16th in the league) I'm left scratching my head wondering how a 6'2 Frenchman is the only point guard firmly planted in the top 40 in field goal percentage. Even though this year LeBron and Durant are on an entirely different level than anyone else, if Parker keeps this up you could talk me into putting him in the top three of MVP rankings.
11. Tyson Chandler (Previously #30)
I decided to re-do my rankings partly because it was halfway through the regular season, and it seemed logical to take the temperature of the NBA by doing something substantial like this. I also did it to try to correct any big mistakes I made in my prior rankings or in pieces I've written since then. When I did the Tyson Chandler section I gushed about the ability of Tyson Chandler to communicate with and motivate some less than stellar defensive players on the Knicks. Still, I might've underrated his defensive ability by ranking him 30th. Apparently I didn't learn my lesson. About a month ago when I ranked the Eastern Conference teams, I somehow let it slip my mind that Tyson Chandler (in the midst of his best season to date) should be an Eastern Conference All-Star. I have no good excuse for that one. So maybe some will see 11 as a little high for Chandler, but I had to do something to make up for the mistakes I made before.
10. Tim Duncan (Previously #28)
Admittedly I was off on Tyson Chandler. I'm not taking that same blame with Tim Duncan. How would I be able to foresee Duncan once again popping father time in the mouth and delaying the inevitable state of depressing decline? The story with Duncan is the similar to the one we've been seeing with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Maybe that A game isn't there every night, but when it's there, as Kevin Garnett would say, "Anything is possible." Call me crazy, but I think it's possible that the Spurs can ride Tim Duncan to another NBA championship. And as great as Tony Parker has been, the Spurs need vintage Tim Duncan to contend for a title.
9. Rajon Rondo (Previously #5)
Another player extremely tough to rank considering he tore his ACL. Before the bad break against Atlanta, Rondo was in the middle of his career best statistical season which was getting very little appreciation due to the fact that the Celtics were floundering in the Eastern Conference. Now since Rondo has gone down the Celts have won 7 straight and people are forgetting the fact that their title chances have just about evaporated without Rondo in the picture. Sure, the fan in me is still terrified of the Celtics, but the realist says that without Rondo running the show the Celtics aren't a legitimate title threat.
8. James Harden (Previously #24)
You heard it here first—James Harden for All-Star game MVP. Take that one to the bank. And how about we get James Harden in the MVP discussion? He's not going to win, and he shouldn't, but shouldn't he get some credit for turning the Rockets into a playoff team and clearly proving that he is capable of being "the man" for a good team? I'd say yes.
7. Dwyane Wade (Previously #9)
I've moved Dwyane Wade up two spots. See, I'm capable of giving him credit when credit is due.
6. Russell Westbrook (Previously #11)
When my roommate Weston and I were watching the Thunder/Lakers game a couple weeks back we were talking about the role of Russell Westbrook for the Thunder and how he constantly waivers between being the distributor and number one option. After a few sequences of typical Westbrook play (breathtaking athleticism and offensive skill coupled with shaky decision making at times), I came to realize that being a Thunder fan has to be an absolute emotional rollercoaster. In the hypothetical scenario that I were a diehard Oklahoma City Thunder fan, I don't know if Westbrook would be my second favorite player on the team because he's one of the top three overqualified number two guys in the league, or my least favorite player because of the constant emotional turmoil he has to put Thunder fans through. Season ticket holders should get free therapy sessions after every ridiculous Westbrook performance.
5. Carmelo Anthony (Previously #13)
I'm approaching my self-appointed word limit, so I'm going to make this as quick as Carmelo Anthony's release on a transition three-pointer. Carmelo has been awesome this year. The MVP talk has faded a little, but watching Carmelo heat up with a frenzied MSG crowd cheering him on is a little terrifying.
4. Kobe Bryant (Previously #6)
It's hard not to feel for Kobe Bryant. He's on pace to become the first player in league history to average 25+ points while in their 17th season, yet the Lakers, which had such high expectations before the season, have turned into a complete joke. I still maintain the belief that the Lakers will make the playoffs or Kobe Bryant will die trying. Actually, let me rephrase that. I still maintain the belief that the Lakers will make the playoffs or Kobe Bryant will kill someone trying. Yeah, that sounds more realistic.
3. Chris Paul (Previously #4)
Even in defeat and still hobbled, it was evident to me on Friday night when I was at the Clippers/Heat game that Chris Paul plays the point guard position like not many others ever have. He's in such control of everything going on and sees things differently than 99% of anyone else who plays basketball. I may have said it before and I don't care to look and see if I did, but watching Chris Paul run the point is like watching an instruction manual of how it's supposed to be done. The thing that stood out to me most on Friday night was how he composed himself like a general of an army. I've never seen a more intimidating 6 foot point guard in my life. There was one sequence where Paul obviously upset about a call and didn't hide this from the official who made the call, and eventually hit him with a technical. But for about 10 seconds when Paul was going from pursuing the ref to getting right in his face, you could see the competitive juices flowing and that's what separates Paul from so many others. You could see that he just wanted it more than most do.
2. Kevin Durant (Previously #2)
Durant is the only guy who is standing in the way of LeBron winning his 4th MVP, and might be the only guy standing in the way of LeBron winning a second NBA Championship. At this point it's hard to imagine anyone beating a LeBron James led Heat team 4 out of 7 games, but Durant is the only one who I could see being a catalyst in doing so.
1. LeBron James (Previously #1)
Not much to say here to justify why LeBron is number one, so I'll keep it short and sweet. As I mentioned before, I was at the Clippers/Heat game on Friday night, and I've never been more impressed with a basketball player in my life. Keep in mind I've seen quite a few "great" players in my life. I've seen LeBron multiple times, Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Chris Bosh, Vince Carter, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, and Blake Griffin; and I've never seen someone so close to mastering the game of basketball in my life as LeBron James did on Friday night, and has been for the last, well, basically this whole season. It's a cliché, but it was almost like watching nine guys on the floor playing one game, and LeBron playing another. It was a treat.

Online Marketing
Online Marketing
Our team of online marketing professionals has years of experience in every aspect of online marketing. The bottom line is that there are people out there searching for what you have, and we can make sure they find you!
What do your customers really think of your product or service? Why not ask them? We can help see what you and your company are doing right as well as identify areas that need improvement through custom surveys. We will work with you on creating a list of very important questions that will help you improve the overall service and quality of your business. You will receive a detailed report complete with percentages, suggestions, and overall ratings. Most of our clients have been surprised at the results and have been able to adjust specific areas of their business that improve customer service.
Direct Mail
When done correctly, direct mail has the potential to generate a huge response. We have years of experience in developing targeted lists, message content, and creative designs for all types of direct mail campaigns. We never just throw something together and hope that it sticks.
Combine our creative team, script writers, and production capabilities and you'll have a TV spot that works! We pride ourselves on making your service/product stand out from the rest in a way that generates brand awareness and phone calls. We track the results so you are never guessing how effective your TV campaign is. Also, you will never have to deal with media invoices or TV sales reps again.
Pay Per Click
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is one of the most effective ways to see immediate results online. With a well planned and managed PPC campaign, you can get a very low cost per lead for any budget. There are very few types of business that we wouldn't recommend at least a small portion of their marketing budget to be spent on this form of advertising.
At Epic the creative process is always turning and producing amazing things. We have a team of a least 5 people a any given time that are working on the creative process for each and every one of our clients. Creativity is one of the many things that make us good at what we do.
Search Engine Optimization
If you are on Google or another search engine and looking for a product or service, you find yourself clicking on websites that appear in front of you. Ever wonder how these sites get this priority and what you can do to get your website ranking there too? Search engine optimization is the practice of making your website more appealing to search engines and telling them how and where to show your website as a result of a search. We can help you get on search result pages and bring more people to your website.
Radio is a medium that can be difficult to figure out. With dozens of stations all claiming to have the audience you need, which one do you choose? What message will draw the best result? Don't chance it! We have proven methods to evaluate the options that will give you the most for your money. Add our script writing professionals to the mix and you have a recipe for success.
Messaging is a critical part of what makes an ad effective. Think of the best sales person that you have have ever worked with. They weren't pushy, tacky or overbearing. They said just the right things to help you make the decision to buy from them. Just like that salesman, if the words are chosen carefully, you will be able to better persuade customers to buy from you. Expert marketers are also skilled salespeople that understand the psychology of connecting with people and helping them act on what they hear or read.
Whether you are having a grand opening, new product launch, or just need generate more sales, we have just about done it all. A marketing campaign is an organized and coordinated effort to promote the sale of a certain products/service. We can give you the most for your marketing dollars as we leverage our marketing experience in your behalf.
Public Relations
The main purpose for public relations is to improve or enhance the public's perception of a company. Companies will often hire PR firms to develop a hard push on public relation efforts while others will incorporate good business practices on a smaller scale. Press releases, news stories, and strategic events are some of the ways that we can improve the public's perception of your company.
Before you make any important decisions about your marketing, you must combine experience and good solid research. Research could relate to demographics, area dynamics, media, competition or a combination of them all. Conducting the right amount of research will ensure that your business is on-track with making solid decisions about what to do next and will result in a lower cost per lead or impression.
Corporate Jingles
Jingles are a great way to differentiate your product from the rest of your competitors. They create a memorable impression in the customer's mind and will help improve top of mind awareness. We have a great team of artists and musicians that are very good at what they do. Next time you find yourself humming a tune in an ad, be thinking... what if that was your customer humming your jingle? Are they more likely to buy from you when they need your product/service?
Social Media
Social media has the public hooked to their cell phones and computers. Advertising is about getting in front of people wherever they are, and social media provides a great opportunity to do that. With the ever increasing number of people using social media, we continue to see a large amount of success from this medium.
Graphic Design
First impressions are everything, right? How does your design reflect your corporate image? When you see your ads, collateral, or website, do you think high quality, professional, standout design? Graphic design is more than making things look pretty. Its about accurately representing your company's values, goals and overall quality.

Thousands of cars pass them every day and it may be a great way to reach your audience. We can help you determine if this the best place for you to spend your advertising budget.
Brand Identity
Brand continuity is something that often gets overlooked when you have a business owner wearing many different hats or a marketing coordinator with too many responsibilities. Your business should have a familiar look and feel to consumers that are exposed to your marketing material, whether they happen to see your ad in a magazine, see your commercial on TV, or see your website online. Having brand continuity makes your business more credible, increases frequency, and gets them to notice you faster.

How can I give my wife 'space' without losing her
May 26th, 2013 by Andrew G Marshall in Ask Andrew
I have read both I love you but I am not in love and my wife doesn't love me any more. my present situation is i am now stopping with my sisters family as home life had become a living hell. we have been together over 6 years after meeting at work. It was love at first sight for me. we were very much in love and i still love her very much although i did not always show it after our 4 year old son was born which completely changed the dynamics of our relationship. she left her husband of 7 years to be with me so it was not the easiest of starts although we were very much in love and she said she did not know true love till she met me. we moved to our first flat together and was very happy when she became pregnant.
After our son arrived her attention went mainly his way which is only natural i know and my attention when into my own world. it was a first child for both of us. she complains that i did not do enough to help when he was very young which i have to admit i could of done a hell of a lot more and she found it so tough at the time.
9 months later our second son was stillborn prematurely at 5 months. this really hit us hard as you can imagine and my way of dealing with it was to push it out of my mind. That was selfish of me because that was not how she needed me at that time. its gone downhill from there slowly till 2 years ago now she completely changed for me which i cant blame her for but i have really wanted to make amends for my past mistakes.
i have repeatedly asked for a fresh start and i will do better but she says she does not believe me anymore and she needs space. she does not know what the future holds she said but at the moment she does not want to be with me. she did tell my sister that she still loves me in in some way but she is sick of me crying all the tome which i have been because i am completely heartbroken and my world has been rocked by this. I just don't understand why she wont give it another chance and a proper one this time. she says she did try but i don't think she really did because if we both wanted it to be really good then it would be wouldn't it? i miss my family so much its tearing me up living like this. i have my son on sunday and the plan so far is to look for private rent then i shall furnish my new place from scratch and have my son 3 times a week but this all just feels so wrong to me.
Meanwhile since i left she is now trying to arrange a mortage on her own. The only options i can for my next step is:
1. go back home telling her i am back which i don't think will go down to well being as she said she needs space.
2.stay at my sisters a while which is a little bit awkward and it looks like im doing nothing
3. get a private rent flat and furnish it and get on with my life while hoping that absence makes her heart grow fonder and that by me having our son 3 times a week she realises just what a family split is all about and thinks again.
However maybe by getting my own place and furnishings it could be the final nail in our relationships coffin if it has not already been struck. I am a laid back person who is in a factory that i said i would not be in for very long when we got together and she is a very ambitious polish girl who i met there and she is now heading for a managers job is a recruitment agency. I am desperate to get back what we once had tighter but when i look back at the amazing love we shared she looks back at all the disappointments i caused her. i realise on paper it don't look good and it isn't but i just need to know if i have even a tiny chance of winning my family back and righting a wrong or should i just let go of the pain of the past and restart my life on my own.
Please help. I did ask her to read your book but she did say that she does not need a book to tell her how to feel. She said in texts recently to show/prove i want to be with her while giving her space but i am really confused and maybe so is she after all the begging pleading and crying i did for her to try again. she put a post on facebook intended for me stating the way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. But do what? get my own place to win her back? that sounds a bit crazy if that is what she is talking about. Any advice would be greatly appreciated at this very difficult period of my life.
Andrew writes:
Of course, there is a tiny glimmer of hope. In fact, it's quite a big one. She is telling you what she wants: Action not words. If she wasn't interested, she would have shut down completely.
So how do you fight back? Firstly, stop emotionally dumping on her and trying to guilt her back into your life. It's just pushing her away. The same goes for pleading, begging and promising to change. Look at my book 'Help your partner say yes' and the first step: If you're in a hole, stop digging.
Next, brainstorm with your sister, everything you could do which would show her that you mean business. I would start with your job. If it's dead end, start applying for others. Take some courses to improve your qualifications. Offer to take more responsibility at your current job, so your prospects will improve there too.
If renting a flat is least worse of the options, that's what you'll have to do. OK it doesn't make sense to you but you've got to start putting yourself into her shoes. She wants you to take control rather than expect her to sort this out.
Finally, I'd like you to look at how you come across to your wife. I know this is going to sound harsh but I think it's best to be honest. You sound like a puppy dog, begging for attention. That's not only very unsexy but really tiresome too. I bet she would like you to be an equal partner. Adult to Adult. I explain more about how to achieve this is in 'Help your partner say yes' – in a section about Transactional Analysis.
I'm afraid that there is no magic solution – it will take time. But I think that you're determined to win her back. So start working on yourself and being the man that she would like to be with – rather than expecting her to take you back (and then become that person).

Tim Commerford
Audioslave's bassist talks Fender, touring, Rage, Rush and the Police …
Audioslaving away: Commerford onstage.
Photo by Sean Ricigliano
Tim Commerford used to rage; now he slaves. From 1990 to 2000, he melted people's faces off as the hard-hitting bassist for seminal and hugely successful politico-metal militants Rage Against the Machine. After Rage's demise in October 2000, members Commerford, Tom Morello and Brad Wilk joined forces with former Soundgardener Chris Cornell in Audioslave. The group's eponymous 2002 debut album quickly went double platinum, and its second, this year's Out of Exile, debuted in May at number one on the U.S. charts. In a May 6, 2005 appearance authorized by the U.S. Treasury Department, Audioslave became the first American rock group to perform in Cuba, before an audience of 60,000.
Here, Commerford sits down with Fender News to discuss Audioslave's success and inner workings. He also talk about Rage, and professes his love for Fender Jazz® basses, Rush and the Police …
FN: With Out of Exile debuting at No. 1 and with a sold-out tour, you must feel good about getting over the "sophomore slump." Was it ever a concern?
TC: We really don't worry about that sort of thing. I feel really blessed to be in another band; another great band. That sophomore jinx, or how do we come up with our music … we don't do that. We're just in a room. We focus on getting along. We focus on our relationships. We let the music just sort of "happen." I feel like there's going to be a lot of Audioslave records. Two seems like hardly any. I want to get over the five-record jinx!
FN: There's been growth between the first and second records …
TC: Like I said, we keep getting to know each other better, and our work ethic is one that I'm very proud of in that we don't waste days. We get into the studio and we write songs. We come out with arrangements. We don't spend too much time on anything and we try to be productive. We all have the same attitude about it and nobody's resisting it. And because of that, it just "happens." It feels very natural.
We just got back from a seven-week tour in Europe, and before that we did a five-week tour in the states with only four days off in between. Normally, that would lead to a few months or a month of resting before the next tour. So we had two-and-a-half months off and we went right back in and wrote 15 more songs. So we have another 27 songs that we're ready to record. As soon as we get back, Chris's (Cornell; Audioslave and former-Soundgarden singer/songwriter) wife is going to have another baby, and then we're going to go into the studio and record our third record. I'm psyched to get through the third one and then the fourth one and, like I said, the fifth one. I just want to keep writing records until people realize that we are more of a band than Soundgarden or Rage, because we've written more records and have been around a longer time.
FN: You all cut your teeth in your previous bands, and now seem to have a more down-to-business approach. You all get along, and it seems like the band clicked immediately …
TC: We have fun writing songs, and like I said, from the very first day that we met Chris in the rehearsal room in Hollywood, we wrote "Light My Way" and we never looked back. We write songs every time we get together. That ultimately is all you gotta do. If you're in a band, or you're a musician, that's all you gotta do. Just write songs and you will succeed.
FN: You've said that you bring a "sports mentality" to your music. What do you have left to prove as a musician?
TC: I don't have anything to prove. But I call it the "key to the arena"—that's the way I like to put it. I would like to have the key to the arena around my neck. Because once you have that key, you always get to go back. And right now, we've made two records. It took Rage a few records to start to get the key to some of the arenas around the country. But it takes a little time. And the only way to get the key is to have a catalog of music so that when people go to see you play, they know every song that you're playing.
FN: And your reach is greater, because you're touching more people …
TC: That's it! So it takes time; it's nothing that you get right away. You have to put in the time, and that's what we're doing. So that's what I eyeball—the key to the arena. Because I'm fascinated that I'm 37 years old and I have a couple 40-year-olds in the band with me and another guy that's my age, and we're still making it happen. And we're still doing it. And it's still exciting. And I'm curious as hell how long that's gonna go on.
FN: And you're appealing to generations much younger than you …
TC: Absolutely! And that's cool; when I look out in the audience and I see those youngsters and I see the fans that have been there for 15 years, too, you know? It's exciting! I love our audience, I really do.
As a guy who was in Rage Against The Machine—looking out at an audience that was a lot more aggressive and almost completely male-dominated—it's really nice to look out and see an audience that's mixed with young and old, men and women, and people singing. To hear the whole audience singing an entire chorus of a song while we play it—and they do it perfectly—that's unreal! We never got any of that with Rage. It's really cool. And we have been bumping Soundgarden, Rage and Temple of the Dog songs in our set. It's great to interject those tunes, too, and see people just jumping and doing their thing. Our show is really fun and really great!
FN: What are your favorite Rage, Soundgarden and Temple songs?
TC: We've been working on "Rusty Cage." That's been the latest Soundgarden one, and it's really hard. It's a song I've heard a million times. I love that song, but I've never really sat down and figured out every little nuance of it. (laughs) It's hard! Man, they do weird odd timing, and just weird stuff. We stick to the real "knucklehead rock" with Rage—4/4 across the board. So when you throw some out-of-time stuff, it's not that it's hard; it's just that it's … hard (laughs)!
FN: Ben's (Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd) playing differs greatly from yours. You lock in, whereas Ben will slide around and play much more loosely …
TC: Yep. He's a great bass player and his bass lines are … unsung bass lines. I'm gonna learn "Blow Up the Outside World." Unreal bass line! Unreal! Off the hook! It blew me away. I was just listening to it; it slides totally below the radar. You just never even think about it being a song that's like (Rush's) "YYZ." It's incredible, man (laughs)! The guy's incredible! He played with his fingers. He just needed to jack his bass up when they would play live. That was the problem—you can't get good tone when you have your bass at your knees. You can't! Your fingers are not hitting the strings the right way. I used to have my bass kind of down lower and it just didn't work out, y'know?
FN: Speaking of basses, what do you look for in them?
TC: I like Jazz basses. I've been playing Jazz basses with Precision Bass® necks, and I'm almost thinking that I want to switch to Jazz Bass necks, because I have one regular Jazz Bass out here on tour and I end up playing that one because it's the most comfortable one for me. I like ash bodies. They're more "tight." For some reason, the low end is tighter.
Certain pickups sound better than others. I don't know why that is. I know a little bit about it, but I don't necessarily know exactly why certain pickups will sound different than others, when they're exactly the same pickup. But that is the case, and I've listened to all my pickups—as crazy as that sounds—and put them all in different basses at different times, and marked them, and decided which ones sound better, … and A/B-ed them against other ones. And people in studios tell me that one sounds better. And I tell them that that's the one that I marked. There's something in the pickup. Some people don't believe that, but, I know—there's something in the pickups. I don't know if it's what was once done by hand is now done by a machine and the machine isn't as meticulous. I don't know whether or not they're the ones that were done by hand and the one guy got down near the end of the wire and broke the wire, and just went, "that's close enough," and then welded it there and called it a day. Whatever it is, they're all different, and it's always nice when you get a great pickup with a tight, low end.
A lot of my basses are tuned BEAD, but a lot of them aren't. I've been messing around with that tuning on the first two records, and now I'm back to standard EADG and drop-D tuning and that sort of thing as much as I can. To me, that just sounds better. I don't know; I'm always changing up stuff and reevaluating what I've done.
FN: What first prompted that? How long have you been doing that?
TC: When I first came into Rage, one of the first things I did was go out with Tom (Audioslave and Rage guitarist Tom Morello) and check out all the distortion boxes, and we bought a Marshall® Guv'Nor™ distortion pedal. I started using that. Then we went in to make our second record, Evil Empire, and that's when we were working with Brendan O'Brien. He said, "Why don't you get another amp and start using it?" So I started experimenting with a "distorto" amp all the time, and then I'll have my clean amp and just click the distortion on when I need it. I just started experimenting with that, and then with basses when I was a kid. I'm one of those guys who wants to know how everything works. I hate it when I have something that I like and I don't know how it works, where if it's broke, I wouldn't know what to do. That bothers me.
FN: Do you drive your tech crazy?
TC: No, I'm pretty low-maintenance, believe it or not. I don't add that much to my stuff. I try to refine it and actually make it easier to use. My basses are just Jazz basses. There are no active pickups. I believe in Jazz basses—I believe they're the best basses you can get! There's just so much to them—whether you're playing on the front pickup, or the back pickup, closer to the bridge—it's a sport. A Jazz Bass is as much of a sport as I ever could want a bass to be. A lot of times I have to go up to the front of the neck and play up front because I'm getting tired. But if I feel good, I'll go back to the bridge and rock the entire show. It's a sport man! It gives you so many different sounds. For the first Rage record, I used a different bass. By Evil Empire, I was on a Jazz Bass, and I never looked back. That was it, and I've never played any other bass but a Jazz Bass.
FN: What do you like, specifically, about the Jazz Bass?
TC: It's comfortable. You can watch the Jaco (Pastorius) instructional video and see Jaco roll up all the pickups and roll the front pickup back and kind of like dial the sound in. That's one thing about every Jazz Bass that I love—if you turn up both pickups all the way and then roll that front back, you kind of get that low-end "doo-doo-doo" sound, and then it goes into a (makes an open-ended "wah" sound). That's my sound, right there. That's it. No other bass does that for me. My hand goes there and it knows how to roll the pickups real quick and make it happen. It feels comfortable—the shape of the bass; everything about it is just perfect.
FN: Are most of your basses stock when you get them?
TC: I was putting BADASS® bridges on them at first. I don't like stock bridges. I like a solid bridge, and for me right now, the Gotoh® bridges are really nice. They're solid, simple and they don't move. If you play down by the bridge a lot, like me, you start moving the saddles around. I can actually pluck the strings around the saddle a bit and it takes away from the tone.
FN: You have a pair of '70s pickups that you really love and that the Fender Custom Shop tried to duplicate. How'd they do?
TC: They did all right. I still have those pickups that they made. When I have pickup problems and I put those pickups in, they're always cool; they always work out. But I remember when I was A/B-ing them with the original ones. There's something about those original ones that made them better than anything else. Those are the best two that I have. That being said, the last two basses that I got from Fender—a White Jazz Bass and a Sunburst Jazz Bass—are the best two basses that I have. Those are the ones that I most look forward to playing every night. It's not the one that has those pickups in it; it's the two I got from Fender that are my favorite. They sound so good and they're so perfect for the way we sound right now. The only thing I'm bummed about is that I want one more. I'm actually waiting for one more. I want to get one more that sounds as good as the (other) two, and I will be happy forever!
FN: What is it about them? Are they stock?
TC: They have P Bass necks, (but are) just regular Jazz basses. They're both ash bodies. One's heavier than the other. They're not that heavy; usually, I go with really heavy basses, but these are pretty light. They have low end, but they don't have a ton of low end. I'm finding that that's better for drop-D and B tuning, when there's maybe not as much low end, and there's more of a growl to it. Both of them have a distorted sort of growl when I play them hard, and that's my sound. That's the easiest sound for me to put distortion on and to make it sound even gnarlier. That's why I love Jazz basses. They have a totally nice growl to 'em!
FN: What music has inspired you over the years?
TC: Hendrix. That's what it's come down to for me. When I was a kid, I was not the biggest Hendrix fan. But if I had to say what the best music is, it'd be Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys. It's incredible. It's undefinable—elements of punk rock, rock 'n' roll, blues and jazz. It's so incredible. I hear that and it's like, that's it. Every band, whether they know it or not, is striving to be the Band of Gypsys. That's the template, whether it's said or unsaid, and that's what it's all about. We need to try to tap into whatever it was that they tapped into (laughs)!
FN: What's next for Audioslave?
TC: We have another three weeks left of another tour that we're on. Then we go home and Chris's wife is pregnant with their second baby—and Chris's third child—so he's gonna take part in that. And, as soon as he's in the clear after that, which will probably be after the holidays, we're gonna go back in with Brendan O'Brien to record our next record, which we have ready to go. It's exciting!
FN: With three of you living in Los Angeles and Chris living in France, how do you rehearse?
TC: He lives in France, but he just bought a house out in L.A. Chris is on the ball. I really feel like, as a fan of Cornell, he's at an all-time high. He really is. He sings effortlessly right at the moment. During our shows, for my own vocals, I have an in-ear monitor, so I've got Chris in there and I hear him really good. I can tell! Whether he's doing the Rage Against The Machine songs or Audioslave or Soundgarden, he is at an all-time high. He's doing versions of Rage songs that I can argue are better than anything Rage ever did. You have to hear it. There are gonna be more tours, so get ready! None of us are feeling the touring blues right now. It's sort of "on." It's like work that we need to do and we're doing it!
FN: Any suggestions for aspiring bassists?
TC: Make sure you don't play your bass down by your ankles (laughs)! Or else some guy who plays his bass up by his neck might end up playing your songs! Keep the bass jacked up to your neck. I like to see it as more of a "bib" than a "belt" (laughs again)! When you hit the strings to where they vibrate in line with the pickups instead of smacking into the magnets when it's down low—you know what I'm saying; that's no way to get a clean sound. That forces good technique. And good technique, whether you're riding a bike or playing a bass, that's how you learn how to do it right—by starting with the right technique.
And I don't consider myself a great bass player. I do not consider myself technically proficient. I'm not Jaco. I learned how to play my instrument the wrong way and became lucky enough to become a professional musician. Then I made the choices right then and there to go, "Wait a minute—I need to learn to play my instrument the right way." After I'd been in Rage for two years, I decided that I needed to jack my bass up. I needed to focus on that. I needed to do it right, so I changed my technique. All of a sudden, my playing got so much better. That and playing the drums. Getting a drum set at my house made me play bass so much better.
FN: Do you and Brad (Wilk, Rage/Audioslave drummer) ever switch off?
TC: We do! Brad can play bass, and I love playing drums. I don't play any fills. I do fills on the snare drum. I rock beats, man. I love beats. I'm not afraid to rock beats all day.
FN: That goes back to Buddy Miles from Band of Gypsys …
TC: That's it! Buddy Miles is freakin' sick. (Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer) Mitch Mitchell too! He's the best (laughs)! He would've been a better addition to the Band of Gypsys. There's something about the controlled chaos of Mitch Mitchell …
FN: Mitchell in turn inspired Stewart Copeland, another favorite drummer …
TC: C'mon! My father-in-law and I were talking about the Police, and he was asking me about Stewart. I told him that I think he might be the best rock drummer ever! I'm a huge fan of the Police and always have been.
FN: Did you see them reunite at their Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction?
TC: Yeah. Tom was there doing some other stuff, and he had a ringside seat. Tom told me that Andy and Stewart wanted to do more songs, but Sting just said "No." Did you see Sting's tour where he played Police songs?
FN: No.
TC: He had Josh Freese on drums and played at the Roxy in Hollywood. Talk about dramatic—Stewart Copeland was standing right in the middle of the house!
FN: Are you kidding?
TC: I'm not kidding. That's sick! You know, Josh is a great drummer, but he doesn't play like Stewart Copeland.
FN: Nobody does.
TC: That's the beauty of that guy. It was his band. I saw the Behind The Music (laughs)! Stewart Copeland was the brains behind the whole thing. He's such an incredible drummer. And you're only as good as your drummer. I've said that so many times, and it's the truth. You can be the slammin'-est bass player in the world, and it doesn't mean a thing if your drummer sucks. It really doesn't. And Stewart Copeland is the greatest "start" or foundation of a band. That he's able to make those beats that he plays sound like they groove even though they're really not those kind of beats, you know? I love that!
FN: It's interesting that you play with Brad and are so into Copeland. Their styles are so different …
TC: Oh yeah, but you've got to hear us go off on our Rush tangent. We bust into "YYZ." It's really weird—when we were kids coming up, that was the song that we had to learn. It was the same for Brad. I learned that song. That was it. I can play "YYZ." And when I first learned it, it wasn't exactly right. Then I'd figured it out and see them one more time. And I'd figure it out and get it right. So, when Brad and I do it, it's right, man (laughs)! It's pretty sick.
FN: Will it make an Audioslave set?
TC: It probably won't, but we have played "Working Man." We transposed it into the key of B. That's pretty cool. Chris sometimes sings "2112"; (sings) "… the sleep is still in my eyes, the dream is still in my head …" He plays that for the crowd and people don't even know what they're hearing. They sure like it, though! When we played in Canada, we did a lot of Rush tribute stuff. We had little Rush bobblehead dolls on our amps and stuff like that. It seemed like the crowd didn't even know who Rush was.
FN: Was this in Toronto?
TC: This was in every city in Canada! They don't know. They don't realize that Rush is the biggest band to ever come from Canada. And that the band is one of the highest-grossing touring acts ever.
FN: What about Bryan Adams and Triumph?
TC: Bryan Adams (laughs)! I gave up on him after the GQ/Vogue part of his career. I liked the regular guy that was hittin' right when he was big. But the guy that came after that kind of tripped me out (laughs)!

Black ArchiveTalk0
The Black Archive was a secret vault maintained by UNIT, later relocated to the Tower of London. The dangerous equipment it contained was such that even the Archive's own staff were forbidden to know what it held.
Function Edit
It functioned as a depository of everything that shouldn't exist on Earth but did anyway, and required a UNIT level one clearance to gain entrance. (TV: Enemy of the Bane) The staff had their memories erased after every shift. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) In the event of alien invasion the contents of the Black Archive were deemed so dangerous that the nuclear warhead situated 20 feet beneath the archive was to be detonated in order to prevent the invading species from gaining access to the technology contained within the archive. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
History Edit
The Doctor, during either his second or third incarnation, aided in the foundation of the Black Archive. (COMIC: Don't Step on the Grass)
At some point, UNIT started keeping a particular eye on the Doctor's companions by taking them to the archive while they were separated from the Doctor; the companions' memories of the visit were subsequently erased, but UNIT kept a wall of photographs of the companions after confirming that they could be trusted. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
On 4 June 1972, UNIT bought the Tunguska Scroll from a private collector and placed it in the Black Archive. In 2009, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart smuggled Sarah Jane Smith into the archives to steal the scroll. (TV: Enemy of the Bane) During the same year, the Tenth Doctor sent Martha Jones there to fetch information on the Krynoid virus in the hopes that it might hold a key to stopping the Enochian invasion in Greenwich Park. (COMIC: Don't Step on the Grass)
In the 21st century, a vortex manipulator had been donated to the archive by Captain Jack Harkness. A Zygon impersonating Kate Stewart took Clara there to retrieve it. Clara used the manipulator to escape the Zygon, and travel to 1562 to rescue three incarnations of the Doctor. Having free reign of the base, the Zygons believed that they could overrun the Earth easily with the amount of alien technology now in their possession. The real Kate Stewart then turned up however, and activated the nuclear armed self-destruction mechanism located under the base. The Zygon who was imitating Kate was able to shut off the device, which was keyed to respond to Kate's voice, but the real Kate could likewise countermand it. This resulted in a deadlock between the two. Eventually the Eleventh, the Tenth, and War Doctors arrived to stop her. They activated the memory erasing equipment in the ceiling, meaning the two sets of people forgot whether they were human or Zygon, and stopped the self-destruction mechanism. This saved themselves and the whole of London, also resulting in peace talks between the humans and the Zygons. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
- Tunguska Scroll, stolen by Sarah Jane Smith in 2009 (TV: Enemy of the Bane)
- Magna-Clamps, (TV: The Day of the Doctor) identical to those recovered by Torchwood One from a crashed spaceship in Mount Snowdon, used by the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler to end the Battle of Canary Wharf. (TV: Army of Ghosts/Doomsday)
- The head of a Cybus/Cyber Legion Cyberman.
- The head of a Supreme Dalek (TV: The Day of the Doctor) identical to the one who led the New Dalek Empire. (TV: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End)

- Amy Pond's pinwheel (TV: The Eleventh Hour)
- The sonic probe used by an older version of Amy (TV: The Girl Who Waited)
- A Sontaran blaster
- A damaged Dalek
Behind the scenesEdit
- In an interview after the broadcast of Day of the Doctor, Steven Moffat revealed that the Black Archive was at one point also to house two movie posters for Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., which Clara was to have been seen examining, establishing the Peter Cushing films as existing within the Whoniverse. Unworkable rights fees prevented this from happening.

November 27, 2014
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- A judge has given final approval to a $2 million state settlement with the family of a Lincoln woman who was struck and killed by a state prison van driven by an inmate.
The settlement will go to the husband and son of 47-year-old Joyce Meeks, who was killed in the crash on June 25 in Lincoln.
Last month legislators approved the payment as part of the state's annual claims bill.
The inmate driver, Jeremy Dobbe, was seen speeding and swerving erratically before he struck Meeks' vehicle.
Dobbe was driving to transport inmates as part of a state work-release program.
The lawsuit by Meeks' husband, Leonard Meeks, and son, Martell Buchanan, alleges that Dobbe was under the influence of alcohol, drugs or some other intoxicating substance.

As with all good things, this pie takes time and effort (mostly the effort of waiting for it to chill before serving!), but once you try it, you'll never go back. Accept no imitations, no short cuts, and be prepared to throw all other recipes away.
This is the quintessential chocolate pie recipe you've been dreaming of.
Step 1: Ingredients
1 Pre-Baked Pie Crust
Use this recipe!
- 6 oz semisweet chocolate - chips or bar
- 4 oz (1/2 cup) sweet unsalted butter
- 3 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 4 oz (1/2 cup) sugar
- 12 oz (1 1/2 cups) heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Chocolate shavings (opt)
Step 2: Prep
If using my pie crust recipe, prick the crust a bunch of times with a fork to prevent it from getting all poofy. Line with foil and weights (I used lag bolts again) and bake crust at 375oF (190oC)for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and weights and bake another 8-10 minutes until golden.
Reduce your oven temp to 325oF (160oC) for the impending pie.
Step 3: Melt Chocolate + Butter
Now you'll want to devise some sort of double-boiler-type rig for this step. You can use a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of water, or a pan set over another pan, or an actual double boiler (which I obviously did not have).
Bring the water in the lower pan to a simmer, and add the 6 oz of chocolate and 1/2 cup of butter to the top pan. Stir until melted.
i used keebler everready graham cracker crust.. and bc i live in canada, there was no heavy cream available so i used 35% whipping cream... but still everything turned out amazing.
Most epic. Pie. Ever.
Luckily no one else was around to steal my pie ;P
These instructions are incomplete. You don't say when to add the eggs, which is very important for novice cooks.
Beat together the three eggs, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of sugar with an electric mixer, until fluffy - about 5 minutes
My dad and aunt aren't in to pies, and have never liked a chocolate pie until this one, they said it was the best they've ever had! And I absolutely agree with them, this was an awesome first pie to make. Thanks!
Great pie. I've made it with the oreo cookie crust. Chocolate nirvana.
Do you think that middle schoolers and the teachers would enjoy this and possibly make it 1st place? There is a pie completion happening at our school on 3.1.14 because 3.14 is Pi! :)
This is my favorite recipe (of all the recipes I've posted) to date. Follow it carefully and I think you've got a winner on your hands!
I have made it 2 times already and am making it a third time for my super bowl party dessert. So far it has been delicious every time.
But, I can only find 12oz bags of semisweet chocolate morsels, and I can only find pie crusts that come in pairs; so I just double the recipe and make 2 pies at a time, or at least that is my excuse. Thank you very much for the recipe.
i used keebler everready graham cracker crust.. and bc i live in canada, there was no heavy cream available so i used 35% whipping cream... but still everything turned out amazing.
There was a small piece left over so I had it for breakfast this morning. Lucky me! And, to explain the leftover, this pie was one of four large desserts offered.
Scoochmaroo, I am a fan for life now. Thank you for an awesomely delicious and easy recipe!
I used it in a test.
A note to other makers: If you use a small pie crust, don't fill all of it, unless you want a complete chocolate pie. I did that, and later took some of it out and there was a little dip in the middle...
A question to the author:
How do you whip whipping cream in solid (like stable) whipped cream? i whipped it but it was all liquid-ish.
