Leftover thoughts from Celtics-Knicks
Brandon Boss
No, that wasn't a typo. Brandon Bass = Brandon Boss. He had 20 points and 11 rebounds yesterday while shooting 9-13. But the stats alone don't tell the story. I'm confident when Boss shoots jumpers. I'm happy when he gets aggressive (which is almost all the time). I'm thrilled that he has the athleticism to finish in traffic and not get his shot blocked 95% of the time. And I'm shocked that some backup power forwards have the hops (and slim physique) required to leap over opponents for rebounds. (Note: In case you didn't notice, I was staring directly at Glen Davis while writing those last four sentences.)
I promise I won't compare Boss to Davis all season. But Boss already matched Davis' 2010-11 season high for rebounds, and his 20 points would have been Davis' second-highest output all of last season. And if you listen to Kevin Garnett's quote about Boss, Doc Rivers wasn't the only one impatiently waiting for Davis' contract to expire.
"Brandon's going to give us, obviously, a more mature or more consistent scorer coming off the bench,'' said Garnett, who called him an X factor. "I honestly like our bench, how we look, not just on paper, but on practice and in games.
"Chemistry is still a question mark, how well they jell. How quickly they jell is another question mark.''
Otis Smith, I still don't know what you were thinking.
Mr. Aggressive
Before I heap piles of praise on Rajon Rondo's performance (and his production was certainly worthy of such praise), let's just note that Rondo's aggression disappeared almost entirely in the fourth quarter. Here's his fourth quarter shot chart:
That's it. Two shots, both of them jumpers, one make, no free throws, no layups. And that was after three quarters of complete domination during which he treated Toney Douglas like a red carpet directed straight to the hoop, causing me to jokingly tweet that Rondo will win the scoring title this season. The Celtics won't realize their potential until Rondo realizes he needs to finish games with the same aggression that he starts them. Boston's fourth quarter offense was a problem all last season and it reemerged as a problem yesterday. Until Rondo learns how to maintain his aggression into the fourth quarter, the Celtics will struggle to find their late-game identity.
Okay, enough griping about the fourth quarter. Rondo was fantastic. He put Boston on his shoulders. He was more aggressive than ever driving to the hoop, created contact with defenders to draw fouls like never before and even took some jump shots in perfect rhythm, as if he gained confidence over the offseason (which is actually a reasonably reasonable possibility, considering that Rondo had more time than ever during the NBA lockout to work on his jump shot). And oh yeah, he had 13 assists too.
There were surely extenuating circumstances surrounding Rondo's great play. The Knicks defense (albeit slightly improved) normally resembles a pasta strainer with holes big enough to fit New York's opponents. Toney Douglas isn't exactly a Rondo stopper. Boston's offense was stagnant and Rondo had no choice but to be aggressive. All those factors helped lead to Keyser Soze Rondo.
But Rondo attacked more consistently yesterday than ever. Until the fourth quarter.
How big is the burden on Rondo? Until Pierce returns, the Celtics don't have any other reliable shot creators. Not a single one. Brandon Boss can occasionally find his own shot, but he's also reliant on teammates to find him open for spot-up jump shots. Kevin Garnett was never particularly aggressive and now doesn't have his old athleticism. Ray Allen used to be a true threat in the pick-and-roll but now he's not nearly as independent scoring the rock. And the next time Sasha Pavlovic, Marquis Daniels, Keyon Dooling, Mickael Pietrus or Avery Bradley create a play by themselves might be the very first. Even Pierce isn't as capable as he used to be in the one-on-one game. The Celtics will need to rely on running their offense for a large percentage of their buckets — and they'll need to rely on Rondo for almost everything else.
Avery Bradley
If you like players who occasionally dribble the ball out of bounds for no reason at all, couldn't hit a jumper if it stuck its tongue out in their faces and generally look lost on the basketball court, Bradley's for you. I know I'm being harsh. It was just one game. He'll get better. He's a hell of a defender, one who can pick up full-court and harass an opposing guard for 94 feet. He's a second-year player with oodles of athleticism whose raw ability needs to be harnessed and worked on, yada yada yada.
But Bradley also is not productive enough offensively, at least at this point in his career, to warrant playing time. So thank you, Mickael Pietrus, for choosing Boston. The Celtics need you.
An oddly weak impact
Jermaine O'Neal didn't have the best season last year. With a month left in the season, I was ready to declare O'Neal the world's softest player and hire two henchmen to kidnap him and force him into retirement. But then something funny happened. He returned and played through loads of pain, played through a broken wrist and was phenomenal in the playoffs, at least defensively. He proved what he was made of, and he definitely wasn't made of cotton candy like we suspected for most of the season.
I will always fear that O'Neal's going to get hurt on his next possession. But when he's out there, I thought he would protect the rim admirably and maybe score a few buckets accidentally.
Instead, he scored six points, snagged only two rebounds and managed to pick up five fouls. He did block two shots, but he also looked late on a lot of rotations. I thought Doc Rivers described O'Neal's performance best:
Rivers said, "I thought he was a little slow, late on a lot of stuff. But in the third quarter, he played terrific."
The Celtics need more from O'Neal. After all, he's their only center.
Kevin Garnett's minutes
Maybe this whole "let's play Garnett more at center" experiment isn't the best idea after all. The Celtics played reasonably well with Garnett in the middle (some lineups did better than others), but it's the playing time I'm concerned about. The Big Ticket played 21 minutes in the first half and 37 for the game. I understand the Celtics have no natural centers once O'Neal gets into foul trouble. But playing Garnett almost 40 minutes — especially in a lockout-shortened season that should increase the wear and tear all by itself — is not cool.
Offensive efficiency
Last season, the Celtics had the NBA's highest field goal percentage but finished tied for 17th in offensive efficiency. On Christmas, the Celtics outshot the Knicks from the field, 51.3-47.3%, took two more shots than the Knicks and outrebounded the Knicks, 41-31.
So how'd Boston lose? Three aspects of the game that might haunt Doc Rivers' team all season: The C's made seven fewer three-pointers, drilled two fewer free throws and turned the ball two more times than the Knicks did.
The Heat later tonight. Hopefully the Celtics can avoid an 0-2 start.

Rondo still habitually defers to the Big Three in the Fourth quarter. He needs to get past that. The Big Three will thrive more off his aggression. They need it, the team needs it, fans need it, Rondo needs it.
Also, we need to hit the offensive boards more. Bass showed the way. I'm not saying that we need to suddenly shift to a team that focuses on offensive rebounding. We just need to do more.

don't forget the joe c. referee crew which gave mello the fourth quarter as a present.

Customer Ratings:
This formula is a little too strong for my face; I don't have extra-sensitive skin, but this leaves me feeling slightly itchy and uncomfortable. However, I can use it on my neck/shoulders/back without any irritation, and it does seem to be helping with breakouts there. (Interestingly, I find I can use BHA 9 on my face without a problem, even though it's a higher strength.) 5 stars for the product itself; not ideal for me personally, but nice texture/formula and it'll be perfect for some people!
I have EXTREMELY oily skin that gets congested very easily. After using the Clear RS Exfoliant for a couple of months, I switched to the ES and now use it twice a day, morning and night. It does an outstanding job of keeping my skin clear and smooth! Because my skin is so oily, I have had no problems with dryness.
To avoid any stickiness, I apply this by dispensing a SMALL amount onto my left hand, briefly rubbing my hands together and then rubbing the product, with both hands, into my skin.
Suffering from KP? Me too. Upper arms for me is the worst area. I ran out the PC BHA for body and had some samples of this lying around. After a week, my KP was almost completely under control. I purchased a full bottle and now use this as part of my nightly regimen. I have no idea why this works better than the BHA for body, but for me this has been a winner. I highly recommend this for use on other areas of the body where you have KP. Would also recommend BHA9 for KP on upper arms as well.
This product has completely transformed my skin. My face has been breaking out really bad, i think because I stopped taking my birth control pills. I've tried all products available including expensive brands like Murad. This Exfoliating Solution completely cleared up my breakouts in less than a week. The only complaint is the greasy formula. I have to use a tissue to absorb extra residue. I'm going to try a regular strength formula, maybe its going to be less greasy.
I tried this and the regular formula and this is better. Works nicely and does not irritate my skin.
I would rate this product a 5 star but unfortunately my skin disagrees. After using this for a short amount of time my skin was amazing, my pores were visibly smaller but then all of sudden it started drying out my skin and my whole face went blazing red for half an hour. I will keep trying to use it once every two days at night with a super moisturizer and I hope that helps because I really love this product.
I've been using CLEAR Extra since launch & can't live without it ever since! I've quite oily skin with frequent breakouts (not acne) & whiteheads. This fantastic product keeps them away! I've also ditched my powder-foundation because it miraculously makes my face looks better w/o makeup! Yes, indeed it leaves a sticky residue but will eventually dry up after few hours then I'll get glowing complexion. I use it day & night daily, it was never harsh on me.
I love love LOVE the Clear Blemish Control set! It's been the only thing I've ever used that's gotten my acne under control. So why only four stars on the toner? The bottle! Compared to the cleanser and the skin clearing treatment, I go through the toner about twice as fast and I feel like I am being extremely frugal with it when I do use it. Kento's comment about the bottle leaking is also an issue I've encountered. I put some toner in a small travel bottle to prevent leaks when I travel.
I love this product! It took a few weeks to see the results, but now I am blackhead free and can barely see my pores. I often forget to wear foundation because my skin looks great without it.
I've used the regular strength in the past and was happy with that. Not sure why but my acne was getting out of control again and the customer rep (who was nice and helpful) suggested giving the extra strength a try. This formula caused my skin to be flaky, red and irritated. It took me a while to realize it was this extra strength formula. Also the smell is strong - like nail polish.
I love it! I put off trying the extra strength version of this exfoliant because I was afraid it would irritate my sensitive acne-prone skin. I did have some dryness and irritation at first UNTIL I stopped using benzoyl peroxide with it. I now get better results with just the extra strength exfoliant than I was getting using the regular strength exfoliant plus benzoyl peroxide. It may not work for everyone, but I'm glad I gave it a try.
I've been using this product for over a year and I can see this product does its job like when I use the cotton I can see my old skin has been pealed off but texture can be really irritating because its stick and itching. I use this product when I don't have break out but I avoid it and skip it to benzoyl when I have pimples, which I question its purpose. Another problem is that it leaks from the bottle. I travel twice or 3 times with this and learnt that ziplock is a must to contain this.
I bought this because I have heard so many great things about this particular product. I even exchanged a few emails with customer service regarding what works best for my skin and this was recommended. I have been using this with no results. I have always had hormonal break outs and this has done nothing with my skin. I use it faithfully every morning and night and my skin is still breaking out. Also, it leaves a bit if a sticky residue after using it. Quite disappointed with this product.
I absolutely will not be without this product. I use it nightly followed by a light moisterizer and my prescription retinoidd product. I get compliments frequently on my skin and recommend it to everyone who will listen. It is strong so if you don't have tough skin, start with the regular strength and work up to the extra strength if you need it. This stuff works - without fail! LOVE IT!
I gave this 2 stars because I found it too strong for my skin. I tried without any other products except the normalizing cleanser and it made my skin sting and flake. I tried it a few times with the same results. It was even worse when I tried it with the benzoyl peroxide treatment. To be fair, I do live in a dry climate and this product would probably be just fine for someone else, just not for me. I've loved the regular strength toner and would prefer going back to that.
The samples I used of this were ok. I much prefer the regular strength version however due to the texture (seems more fluid/thin) and the fact that it left no tackiness/residue where I thought this product did. I am sure this product would clear acne wonderfully though, just as the regular strength has done for me.
I purchased this product upon the recommendation of a friend who used to have acne and this product, along with the Paula's Choice BP cleared her up completely. I really don't mind the oily residue this toner leaves behind, for I figured it would help prevent dryness. Boy was I wrong. After using it 1 night I woke up to a flaky dry mess on my face. I gave my skin about 4-5 days to heal and tried again and the result was just as bad the next morning. Thinking my skin was just getting used to this I gave it another shot a few days later after my face healed and here I am with a flaky disaster once again. I was very surprised at this result, for I do not have sensitive skin and no product, not even BP, glycolic acid, etc. has ever given me this kind of result. It did however reduce inflammation in active blemishes and unclogged pores but not without this super drying flaking side effect. It's really a shame since I had such high hopes of this working. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience with this kit. While this response is not typical, we do understand that each customer is uniquely different in how they will respond to products or ingredients. This along with everyday environmental factors can sometimes play a part in how someone will ultimately respond to a product or combination of products. A BHA in a lotion form will most likely work better for you but it would help to know what else you were using in your routine. Please contact customer care so that we may help with your routine.
I have been using this product for quite some time with great results and just realized that I use it in a totally different way than most so I thought I would share. I put this product in a misting bottle, after my shower I simply mist it all over my face and leave it to settle in. It looks very wet but soaks in nicely by the time I am ready to put my makeup on. I use a whole lot less product and it seems to be just as effective. My skin before this product was in constant break out mode. I use several products to combat this problem but this one seems to be the most important.
I am 21 year old, oily combination skin, woman who suffers from mild to moderate acne. I discontinued visiting the dermatologist for about 6 months, because I can't afford the price of all those LASER and cosmetic procedures that they encouraged me to do. Moreover, I have to read a lot of books and sleep late at night as I am a university student, the acne awfully went back on my face. So I started out to develop skin care routines from Paula's advice from videos in youtube and Paula's Choice website. I purchased this a couple of months a go, along with cleanser from Moisture Boost line, RESIST Toner, Serum and Anti-aging Clear Skin Hydrator. I also use Benzac AC(Benzoyl peroxide 2.5%) and Clindamycin 1%. At first, my skin tended to break out more but I patiently use it and finally I got my blemishes under control. I still experience hormonal induced break outs during the period but it's physiological and not that much. I can't use both day and night because my skin will get really dry and flaky so I use it at night time only switching alternately with RESIST Daily Smoothing Treatment 5% AHA. My skin is so great and very smooth. So, I wish those who buy this understand that treating acne must take time, and you have to be patient.
What a fantastic product. -Oily skin? Blackheads? Clogged pores? Having to blot your makeup??? Say BYE BYE to all of the above and Hello FLAWLESS!!!! Give this BHA a trial for about two weeks. I promise you'll be calling it the potion in a blue bottle.Thank you Paula for all your hard work!!! My skin has never been this clear!
This toner is great at preventing new blemishes for adult acne. But I'm not so sure of getting rid of blackheads. Been using for months and haven't noticed a difference. The package is also horrible. I have traveller twice with it and each time it has leaked. Just recently, it leaked all over and now it's completely empty. I'm not sure how to travel with this toner. I'm hoping this new improved packaging is leakproof on the plane. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you have not noticed better results. The amount of time it will take to see improvement really can vary from person to person and ultimately depends on the extent of the condition or concern they are trying to address as well has how they are using the products. Some consumers will notice results promptly while others will notice results over the course of a few weeks or months. Blackheads can be very stubborn and for some never completely go away. Using a product like this, being gentle to the skin, having manual extraction, and possibly adding in a prescription retinoid would be the most to minimize larger pores and blackheads. Please contact customer care so that we may analyze your routine to offer you the most pore reducing ingredients. We will send out the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant in the meantime which uses a bit different packaging to try and see how you like it.
My skin reacted very well to this for months but the last few times I used it my skin stung for almost an hour, even after rinsing it off my face. I don't know what changed (hormones maybe? I'm only 23) but I can't use it anymore. It's a shame because I really liked it! Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We do wish you could have experienced better results with this product and encourage you to contact customer care to discuss your skin type and skin care routine. We are happy to make recommendations and arrange for samples to be sent out to you.
I love this toner itself. It has helped immensely with my large pores and adult acne, but I have traveled with it on two occasions now and the bottle leaks almost all of the contents. I had to reorder after traveling this summer because the bottle leaked all over my luggage. Just traveled again with the replacement bottle and thankfully I put it in its own sealed bag, because it leaked almost all of the contents again. I am hoping that the new packaging will be less prone to leaking. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback. The packaging has been improved because of the feedback we have gotten from customers like you. We do pass all feedback along regarding packaging and formulas as well. We are happy to send you a complimentary bottle of the new and improved packaging. If you have any questions please contact customer care, we are always happy to help.
I have used this product every morning and every night for the past month. It leaves behind this sticky feeling. I have started getting pimples on my chin (which I have not had before) and along my hairline (again, never had pimples there before!!) Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We do wish this product could have worked for you. We will be sure to pass your comments along to Paula and her Product Development Manager, and encourage you to contact us so we can discuss other options. In the meantime we have issued you an in-house credit for the product and do not require you to send it back. You can use your credit by calling customer care to place your next Paula's Choice order. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know. We are happy to help!
I could not get over the greasy, oily residue this toner leaves behind. I felt that it made it harder for other products to soak into my skin. Unfortunately, by the time I got around to trying this product out, 60 days had already gone by, so it was too late to return it. I have since ordered the regular strength Clear toner and like it much better. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear this product felt too heavy for you but are happy to hear the regular strength has worked well! Please contact customer care with any questions or concerns.

Cubs' Matt Garza a key for 2012, has been in fold since offseason
BY GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com August 2, 2011 11:02PM
Matt Garza has blessed the Cubs with stellar pitching and, just as important, the right attitude. | Tom Gannam~AP

PITTSBURGH — If it looked like the Cubs' rebuilding process for next year moved at a snail's pace in July through the trading deadline Sunday, maybe that's because it started last winter and is certain to continue well into next winter.
Well, that and a no-trade clause or two, and the fact nobody wanted most of the other guys the Cubs would have traded.
The bigger point is that the most significant move to improve next year might be the one the Cubs made in January.
Hailed then as a deal that could provide an important piece in 2011, the trade for former 15-game winner Matt Garza from the Tampa Bay Rays always was more about a longer-term vision.
And as Garza, the Cubs' best starting pitcher this year, takes the mound tonight in Pittsburgh — with two months left in a summer that's all about next spring — he could be the biggest reason the Cubs have for believing they can compete out of the gate next April.
''Moving forward, we should be awfully glad we have Garza,'' general manager Jim Hendry said. ''It certainly wasn't a one-year thing, and he's pitched as well as anybody in the National League the last month. And when you look at starting pitching that might be available in the offseason, the [thin] free-agent market, when you line up and get ready for your winter work, you'll be glad you got him.''
That's especially true when it looks like the best of the rest of next year's starting staff might already be in-house, barring a trade of similar magnitude next winter.
Ryan Dempster is back in 2012, and, assuming no sudden change in trade interest, so is Carlos Zambrano. The Cubs' starter Tuesday night, Randy Wells, made another six-inning case for himself by beating the Pirates. Last year's rookie sensation, Andrew Cashner, is expected to take another run at the rotation next spring, and Casey Coleman remains at the fringes of the rotation picture.
Garza, who tries tonight to pitch the Cubs to a fourth straight victory for the first time this season, has given them reason to be happy, and not just because of the quality of his pitching. It's also how he responded to four would-be wins being blown by the bullpen, how he handled being shut out in three other starts and how he dealt with being victimized by shoddy fielding in three other starts (even if some of the fielding problems were his own).
''It's just one of those things. Luck, whatever you want to call it,'' Garza said. ''It's happened more than once, so I don't really think it's luck anymore. But you just keep going and just keep enjoying being out there every five days. I'm just going to keep going, just keep going, just keep going. That's the only way to do it.''
This after a winless July — despite a 3.82 ERA and four quality starts.
''His mind-set's about as good as it can be,'' said manager Mike Quade, who talked with Garza after that game. ''Given his future here, that's exactly the approach he needs to take.''
A strong finish the final two months might make him a front-runner for an Opening Day start next season.
''For as good as I think he is, I still think there's upside, [especially] as he gets more familiar with the league,'' Quade said. ''You just can't look at his stuff and not think that he couldn't be the No. 1 guy.''
*An earlier version of this story included a passage indicating that Matt Garza pitched on Saturday. He did not appear in Saturday's game.

More in Kitchen
A good place to start when sprucing up a kitchen is with the cabinets. New decorative handles, knobs and pulls are very easy to install. Selecting hardware that matches the existing holes will eliminate the need to fill old holes and drill new ones.
Corbels can be used to build shelving in select areas of the kitchen. If the corbel will bear any weight, it should be installed on a wall stud.
If your kitchen could use more workspace, you can build a kitchen island using a solid or laminate countertop or butcher block.
Select decorative legs (Image 1) for the island that coordinate with the corbels. Apply glue to each leg before driving in screws for extra strength.
Don't nail or glue the island legs to the floor; let it float to allow for expansion and contraction (Image 2).
All fields are required.

A former US soldier has been found guilty of the rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and of then killing her parents and sister.
Steven Dale Green was convicted by a civilian court in the US state of Kentucky on Thursday and faces a possible death sentence over the crimes.
He was found guilty of 17 criminal charges including rape, murder and obstruction of justice.
Green was discharged from the army due to a "personality disorder" before his role in the murders was suspected.
His defence team had asked the jury to consider the "context" of war, saying soldiers lacked leadership and received little help from the military to deal with the loss of friends in combat.
Premeditated attack
Marisa Ford, a prosecution lawyer, said the losses suffered by Green's unit did not excuse the rape of Abeer al-Janabi and the murders of her and her family in their home south of Baghdad on March 12, 2006.
"The evidence in this case suggests the defendant was acting purposefully and intentionally with full knowledge of what he was doing," Ford said.
James Barker and Paul Cortez, two other soldiers who are serving 100 and 90 years for their role in the brutal attack, testified against Green during the trial.
Green and other soldiers changed their clothes and disguised their appearance to throw suspicion on Iraqi fighters, Ford said.
They then burned Abeer's body to hide evidence and burned their own clothes to destroy anything that might link them to the crime, she said.
"This was a planned, premeditated crime which was carried out in cold blood," Ford said.

Jul 16, 2013 6:42 PM by Andrew Ellison - firstname.lastname@example.com
CORPUS CHRISTI - Corpus Christi Army Depot employees are appealing their furloughs to the federal government. Their argument maintains the facility has made money for the Army and employees shouldn't have to be furloughed.
As it stand right now, workers will be furloughed 11 days, about 88 hours of work, from now until the end of September.
C.C.A.D workers also tell us that their trying to figure out why the Army won't allow them to apply for supplemental income through a program called the Shared Work Program.
It offers federal employees about ten percent of what they would make per furloughed day, but it's the Army's choice to allow workers to use the program, and they've decided not to. They haven't really told the workers why.
The workers want Congressman Blake Farenthold to find out.
Workers will be meeting at the local American Legion post all night to get their documents together, sign them, and send them to Washington to make the appeal official.
Then, they'll have to wait and see what happens.

"beautifully wrought"
the final lecture of this course is a beautifully wrought, profound, discussion on, not only the uniqueness of Russian literature, but also the human condition. Dr. Knapp is a rare academic: her lectures are transcendent and provide, thru the lens of these great Russians, illuminations on what is means to be a human being.
"Great lecture-very interesting!"
Aroused my interest, concise, interesting, and easy to follow whether or not you've read these classics.
Excellent content and format.It has stimulated my interest in the subject sustantially.Prof. Knapp provides valuable hindsights and reading keys as well as a concise yet comprehensive description of the intellectual ,moral and political environment in which these authors created unavoidable pieces of our common culture.
The lecturer does an excellent job of describing the context of the works in several ways that enrich the readers' understanding of literature by the featured authors. She describes the lives of the authors and the historical events occurring in the lives of each. In discussing their works, she shows how various sections are influenced or determined by the time written, the culture, religion, and by other literature, both Russian and European. It has left me wanting to read or reread the literature in light of what she has taught.
The lecturer appears to be reading the talks rather than giving live lectures but it doesn't detract from the presentation. As I have seen in other audio books, she occasionally repeats a sentence she just said. I've always thought readers do these repetitions because they are in some way dissatisfied with how they read certain sentences & they think the first attempt will be edited out... (just MHO- I don't really know the reason.)
Audiobooks bring me great joy!
The lecturer explains very well the theme of love and death in great Russian literature. Especially relevant for people wondering big questions like "why live".
"Interesting and Informative"
The narrator is pleasant to listen to and the content is good. No prior knowledge of Russian literature is assumed but the author gives the info without being patronizing. It's a good introduction and helps the listener get a bit more out of the novels.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

So the count for attendance of the 2014 Shoot Out is 238 throughout the 4 hour afternoon, all men and women involved in the Business of Professional Wrestling, either in the Ring wrestling, referees, valets, 2nds, security detail, promoters and many great Legends all had a great afternoon.
There were tables like the one above littered all over the room, where veterans sat with athletes of today sitting around sharing stories from the Ring & the Road!!
We won't give out all our secrets but a few of those in attendance were Stan Hansen, Chavo Sr. & Mando Guerrero, Tom Renesto Jr & John Renesto, Iceman King Parsons, Doyle King, James Beard, Tim Storm, Kevin Douglas, Steve Simpson, Gary Young, Terry Simms, Brain Adias, Tugboat Taylor & Chaz and Many, Many, Many more! We are so excited to be able to say we keep growing each year.
And Happy for our Fans to say that we have a few Commemorative T-Shirts & Hats available to purchase. These are one of kind, printed only once with all proceeds sent to the PWHF in the name of Red Bastien & the TX Shoot Out.
We will have a list of shirt sizes left soon, plus we have tan and white hats (but just a couple of each left).
We can take PayPal orders soon for payment for the shirts and hats. Just message us or fill out the Order form and we will contact you about payment forms. 100% of proceeds from the sale of the shirts & hats will be taken to the PWHF in May.
Thank you to all who attended and had a great afternoon, to Jeremy and the staff at Amigo's for putting up with our rowdy bunch, to Claudia & Kimmie for helping with the registration & all other running around and to Amy Caldwell for taking photos all day (& for putting up with the "group"!) Visit the Photo Gallery for more photos.
Can't wait to see you all again next year, Saturday, Feb. 7th, 2015!!
(Thanks to Amy we will be posting a photo gallery from the day soon.)
The TX Shoot Out was started by Flyin' Red Bastien, with help from Larry Dwyer, in 2003 (originally much earlier but those were lunches with a few friends) as a reunion luncheon for wrestlers in & around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (or those that wrestled here throughout the years). With Red's health in decline & Larry becoming so busy that the torch or organizing the event has been passed to Cowboy Johnny Mantell & "K" (Tygress Lourdes) Downs. They hope to make this annual event a afternoon where guys & gals from all over can return to the Dallas / Ft. Worth area and revisit so many wonderful memories & people from their past.
This is John, Cowboy Johnny Mantell, with Red Bastien at the 2008 TX Shoot Out held in Dallas, TX.
Fun is had by ALL!
John kissing Flyin Red Bastien!

Directions: From Endicott,travel north on SR 26 to SR 38b. Make a left onto 38b and go approximately 3miles and turn left onto Dutchtown Rd. Go another 2.5 miles to the intersection of Dutchtown, Wade Hollow and Hullsville Rd.
From Owego, travel north on SR 38 approximately 3-4 miles to Wade Hollow Road and turn Right here. Follow Wade Hollow to the intersection above.
The area is marked with a large "Oakley Corner's State Forest" sign.
Trail Information: The North Side (yellow-marked trails) are much easier to run, providing some water views and relatively flat terrain under a silent canopy of deciduous and conifer trees. The trails are all single-track and intersect with one another providing runs from 3-5 miles in one loop. If you get lost, just follow the trail markers in ascending or descending order.
The South Side (blue-marked trails) are a little more challenging with steep uphills and downhills and plenty of roots, rocks and stumps to keep you honest. Again, these are single-track intersecting trails, with the perimeter run being about 6.5miles. A service road runs deep into the forest so you can drive further in and start at a more remote location.
Miscellaneous Information: --Be careful in the spring and after heavy rains as the terrain changes dramatically.
--In the fall, watch out for early morning deer hunters (brown running outfits with white patches and antlers are not highly recommended)
--These trails are shared with deer, squirrels and mountain bikers, so be prepared to yield!
--A large wooden trail map is provided at the parking area under the sign, as well as hand-held maps in the wooden compartment. Don't forget to sign the registration book either.
Enjoy your run and try to leave the place cleaner than you found it.
John Zevan

'92 - a great year for hip-hop!
I titled this post "'92 - a great year for hip-hop!" because firstly i was born in '92 and secondly '92 really was a great year for hip-hop, especially for gangsta rap. In '92 Dr. Dre's album "The Chronic" made all the west coast go nuts, the same for Ice Cube's "The Predator" which was a really raw album at the time and still is. Above the Law's "Black Mafia Life" teached us how to hustla and Compton's Most Wanted delighted us with "Music to Driveby". In the same time, on the eastcoast EPMD launched "Business Never Personal", Eric B & Rakim finished with "Don't Sweat the Technique" and Gang Starr came out with their "Daily Operation". Since '92 a lot of things changed in hip-hop, the "commercial" hip-hop came across with the american dream ideas and in my opinion ruined that flavor of hip-hop. Nowadays the term of hip-hop is a very precious one because the only ones that are still making hip-hop are some of the veterans of this music, the pioneers and the originators of this movement and of course the underground mc's...until they get to mainstream. Well that's all I wanted to say through this post, thank you all that bothered and lost precious minutes in their life to read it and please, if u really do like hip-hop start documenting RIGHT NOW, start listening some oldie but goldies of the '80's and 90's and turn off the radio if you don't want to have your brain washed with "money, alcohol, sex & drugs"
Much Respect fo the real Hip-Hop!

Ahead Of The Bell: US Consumer Spending
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ U.S. consumers likely held back on spending in October, hampered by weak growth in pay, disruptions caused by Superstorm Sandy and uncertainty surrounding looming tax increases.
Economists forecast that consumer spending increased last month only 0.1 percent. They also expect income grew just 0.2 percent, according to a survey by FactSet. Both would be much lower than September, when consumer spending jumped 0.8 percent and income grew 0.4 percent.
The Commerce Department will release the report at 8:30 a.m. EST Friday.
Consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic activity. High unemployment and weak pay increases have limited consumers from stepping up spending this year, which has kept growth weak.In October, spending at retail business fell 0.3 percent, the first drop after three months of gains. Auto sales dropped 1.5 percent, the biggest decline in a year. Sales declined in part because Superstorm Sandy shut down business activity in the final days of the month. And sales weren't much better in November, according to reports from major retailers. The International Council of Shopping Centers said 18 major retailers reported sales rose 1.7 percent in November compared to the same period a year ago. The group had been expecting sales growth between 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent. Analysts said while holiday sales got off to a strong start on the Friday after Thanksgiving, those gains were blunted by weakness in early November that reflected disruptions caused by Sandy. The government reported Thursday that the overall economy grew at an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the July-September quarter, an improvement from the 2 percent rate of growth initially estimated. However, economists believe the acceleration in activity will be short-lived. Many of them predict growth is slowing in the current October-December quarter to less than 2 percent, a rate that is too weak to make a significant dent in unemployment.

|Minimum Stay
This Tulum style 'House of the Two Kisses' – a kiss of the sea and a kiss of the sun – is really one of a kind in Tulum. Right on the sugary white beaches of the turquoise Carribean Sea, you will find yourself in a piece of paradise. Enjoy this beautiful beach house together with family or friends. There is always only one party at a time. You are with 2 or 10 persons, the entire property is yours. In the mainhouse you find two spacious and tasteful decorated master bedrooms, each with king size bed, both seafront, are overlooking a large terrace, just a few steps away from your morning dip in the 'Mar Carribe'. On the beach you will find five relaxing beds, a palapa and some palm trees for shade. After your wake-up dive, you can have your breakfast on the seafront deck, following the breathtaking sunrise, and relax with a coffee or tea on one of the couches over here. In the main house is a comfortable large living and dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, bar, several games in the library, a dock station for your iPod, art books, to feel at home immediately. As an extra luxury you have upstairs a private massage room. A professional therapist is available on appointment.
Walking around the main house to the backside you will find an amazing peaceful courtyard with powdery white beach sand, surrounded by 3 beautiful cabanas, palm trees and red flowered bougainvilleas. The bungalow cabana has sea view and sleeps 4 in two king size beds, both in separated rooms. As an extra this one comes with an outside shower, as well as a complete bathroom inside. The other two comfortable cabanas have garden views, one of them an outside shower too, each sleeps two in king size beds. All of them are nice and different decorated, have their own bathroom, a private terrace, romantic mosquito nets and ceiling fans for a cool breeze in summertime.
There is a huge deck on the back side of the beach house, overlooking the courtyard. Here you can have your social evening, in a cozy sitting area hidden in the big stairway, surrounded by candle lit. Gathered together under your palm tree, counting the stars, joking and evaluating the activities, you wish the day never ends.
Extra luxury
There is a couple making your stay as convenient as possible: Santana and Leidy Laura. For some extra payment they will be happy to prepare an excellent breakfast for you. Tropical fruits, fresh squeezed orange juice, tea, coffee, milk, toast, yoghurt, whatever you like They even can cook a meal if you wish! Ask Laura for her specialties. If you really want to treat yourself, why not hire a professional cook to prepare a dinner for you?
Upon arrival you will find the refrigerator filled with some basics as soft drinks, some beers, a bottle of dry white wine and milk, eggs, fruits, bread and cereals to prepare your first breakfast.
Stroll along the beach
Nearly next door to the right you will find the first class restaurant Hezicho, walking to the left you can have delicious Italian food at Casa Violata. A few steps further and you will reach La Zebra, to have a cocktail, salsa lessons or just chill out in a hammock. There are several small restaurants, romantic bars and places to have a cappuccino along the beach.
Casa Dos Besos, a dreamlike residential property in the Carribe, is awaiting you!

Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me - page 3

- 0Oct 2, '12 by NutmeggeRNWhat a beautiful article....
- 0Oct 2, '12 by aileenveAs family members as well as nurses we have to remember our first duty is to the patient, I have been on both sides of this and when my father was dying he called the nurses and asked for them to send me home! Being difficult only causes stress to the patient, we have to put the patient feelings above our own even though it hurts.
- 0Oct 2, '12 by 2bFNP4ME2015Goosebumps! So raw and honest. Love it. Thank you for sharing your journey and I give you my condolences.
- 4Oct 2, '12 by Sugar MagnoliaI know it is hard, but many times the best possible outcome for a patient is death. I advocate for my patients and I am not shy about discussing CMO and DNR with the families. Of course I am kind and caring and gentle but I do my best to help the families let go and to help my patients be free of their suffering.....
Hugs to all, I know it is hard, but please if you love someone but their best interests at the forefront......
If only it were this simple. When I first started in oncology I felt the same way, and oftentimes was frustrated with well-meaning families. The longer I am there, the more I realize how complicated life and relationships are. It really isn't fair to say that families don't have the pt's best interest at heart when there is a hard time letting go. It just doesn't tie up in a neat bow like that.
- 2Oct 2, '12 by GuttercatQuote from Esme12I lost mu dad in March of 2009.
I wish those nurses could read this now and try to understand my fear. As I watched him slip through my fingers, I became angry that, after snatching so many strangers from the jaws of death......... why I couldn't do for the most important in the world.....why SOMEONE couldn't do it for me.
I totally get that. Oh boy, do I ever get that.
2008 for me.
And Cheesepotato's post made me choke up, too.
- 16Oct 2, '12 by KeilaThank you for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
At the beginning of my shift one night on a med-surg floor, I was told I'd get an admission; a patient from a bigger hospital who was coming to us on a 'virtual hospice bed'.
My hospice patient arrived close to 8:30 that night, and his family came with him - his wife, two grown daughters (who were both nurses), their children, and his two grown sons. They came in irate. Our hospital rooms are tiny, and they had been promised our 'hospice' room - a double occupancy room with one bed removed and a couch in its place. They were not told that the hospice room was occupied, or that they would be getting a 'regular' private room. I got my hospice patient bathed and changed into a new gown, did my assessment, then told the family I would be back as soon as I gave a stat med to one of my other patients. We have a new call system, with a remote control in the rooms to call the nurse, so the call bells on the beds do not work. I explained this, told them how to reach me, and was off. Apparently while I was gathering the med, a new family member came in and hit the call bell on the bed. I was standing outside the hall of my other patient's room when she came storming up the hall, a murderous look on her face. I didn't recognize her, but I asked her what was wrong. She said, "You can find me the worthless nurse for my DYING FATHER and get her down here NOW." She pointed towards the room, and with a sinking heart, I told her I was her father's nurse. I told her I had to pass this med and I would be down to her father's room immediately.
I passed the med and went down to his room. The woman was standing outside his door, arms crossed. I opened my mouth to say something, but didn't get a word out before she exploded. "I have been hitting this call bell for fifteen minutes and NO ONE answered. I think my father's in pain, and this room is too small, and we don't have enough room for our family to be here, and this is ridiculous and cruel. I want to speak to your house supervisor, NOW." I told her I would go call the house supervisor, and as I was walking up the hall, several of my fellow nurses who had heard her commented - all along the lines of "Wow, what an awful family." I called the house supervisor and returned to her father's room with pain medicine. On the way down there, I thought about what his family was facing. This man had only received his diagnosis six weeks prior - they hadn't even had time to process that this man was sick, let alone dying. And now here he lay, in a tiny, cramped room, nonverbal and unable to turn himself, unable to control his bladder or bowels, and he had just endured an hour-long ambulance ride with his family following behind.
I gave her father the pain medicine, then approached the woman and told her, "Listen, I think we got off on the wrong foot. I have called the house supervisor and she is coming, but while we're waiting, please allow me the chance to talk to you." I asked her if she had used the call bell on the remote and she said no. I explained that was why I didn't get her calls. I went over the new call system and demonstrated it for her. Then I told her how sorry I was that this was happening to her father and her family, and that I understood their frustration with the small room, especially when they were told they would have the hospice room. I told her I didn't know if we could switch his room, but I got extra chairs, pillows, and blankets from the supply closet. I told her that it was my desire to do everything I possibly could to make sure her father and her family was as comfortable as I could make them. Then I went to the pantry and fixed a pot of coffee, and brought coffee down for everyone.
We were unable to switch rooms that night, but the woman and her family warmed up to me as the hours wore on. Before I left that morning, she pulled me aside and said she was sorry, that she had misunderstood the night before and was afraid that I would be negligent towards her father. I told her she had no reason to be sorry - she didn't know me from Adam and wanted to make sure her father was properly cared for -- any daughter would want that.
What I have written a book to say is that, as nurses, it is so easy to forget what it's like to be the family member. It's easy to see the families as difficult and demanding, and pass judgement without ever really considering the enormity of the changes they are facing in their lives. We forget sometimes to read between the lines, and to realize that we are just an outlet for these families' anger, hurt, and confusion. That doesn't mean that we should allow ourselves to be mistreated, but it does mean that they need the very best of our nursing skills - our compassion, our understanding, and our ability to bear witness and stand beside them. As CheesePotato says, they know that their loved one is dying, even if they don't understand the medical jargon for it, they don't need any more demonstrations from us on how we know the person is dying. They need us to say, "I am so sorry. I am here, and I am honored to care for your loved one and your family, and I will be here with you through this. I AM HERE, AND I CARE."
Sorry this is so long, but CheesePotato, your article really, really touched me.
- 0Oct 2, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from Guttercat.....I'm sorry. sniffle....I totally get that. Oh boy, do I ever get that.
2008 for me.
And Cheesepotato's post made me choke up, too.
- 3Oct 2, '12 by tewdlesYour essay is my professional life...from the other perspective. All of my patients die and all of the family members are somewhere in their grief. Many of the families have a nurse or other health professional in the midst because of the employment mix of the region.
Go gently, live each day with the goal of no regrets...not today, not tomorrow, not 6 months from now. Be "in the moment" with your loved one. Breathe.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Hotel du Cadran
Well worth the moneyfrom amrkitty
A great hotel in Parisfrom A TripAdvisor Member
By far and away, the greatest asset of this hotel is its wonderful smiling staff who are welcoming and accommodating in a city that is not always known for these characteristics. Front desk staff offered maps, gave directions, sent up wine glasses and an iron, arranged taxis, booked reservations, translated words, arranged wake up calls, loaned guidebooks and fulfilled other requests cheerfully and helpfully. It was an unexpected pleasure to be always greeted by name during such a short stay.
By way of example of their hospitality, I left my running shoes in the room after checkout but did not notice until the next day when I was far away in Provence. I called the hotel and found that staff had set them aside. They sent the running shoes to me by express post to the rural address where I was staying - no charge. I received them a few days later and carried on with my holiday.
We would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful birthday holiday!from A TripAdvisor Member
The neighboorhood is very tourist friendly, and the neighboring businesses offer a wide variety of specialties. The Cafe du Marche next door for example is a fine local restaurant with sidewalk seating open late into the night.
Two subway stations and several bus lines make getting around town very easy.
I would return to this hotel in a heartbeat.

Top Local Tips for Paris
Dos and Don't Bothers Do: Saint Chapelle -- just amazing and doesn't take too much time. Do: Catacombs -- less visited and totally creepy. Do: Cafe du Marche. Everything is fantastic. Don't Bother: Top of the Eiffel Tower -- the second level has the best view. Don't Bother: Bon Marche -- unless you are actually shopping, skip it. Nothing special about the building and stuffy clientle.
The RER If you plan to take the RER into town rather than a taxi, don't hesitate. Just know that there are several different lines. I should have taken the "B" line to the "C" (yellow) line for my hotel. I didn't understand that, and wasted some time at the airport and again in town trying to figure it out. Basically, any of the RER trains at the airport will take you into town- just look on the map in the train to see which stop has a corresponding line you can pick up to take you closer to your hotel. I was traveling light, one rolling bag only, and the RER was a perfectly fine way to get into town.
Drinks Be careful around the cafes' on the main streets. Ask for a large beer and you can pay up to 15 euros each.
