Sunday, August 16
Chase Field
Attendance: None
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Randy Wolf retired 20 straight hitters after a first-inning single and pitched 7 2/3 solid innings while producing a career effort at the plate to help the Dodgers avoid a three-game sweep with a 9-3 victory over Arizona.
Wolf (7-6) was nearly untouchable carrying a one-hitter into the eighth before running into trouble in the frame. The veteran lefty fanned 10 with zero walks and finished with a line of three runs on five hits.
Just for good measure, he helped himself with a 3-for-4 effort at the plate, including a two-run homer and RBI double while scoring twice. It was his first longball of the season and fifth of his career. Wolf had just seven hits on the season entering the game.
"He did it all, what can I say," said Dodgers manager Joe Torre. "He just kept them off the fat of the bat, took a little off, put a little on, threw a lot of strikes (and) probably got a little tired from being on the bases in the eighth inning. He certainly gave us the lift we needed."
Andre Ethier checked in with a 4-for-5 day at the dish with a three-run homer and four RBI for Los Angeles, which dropped its third straight game on Saturday when Gerardo Parra ripped an RBI single in the 10th frame to give Arizona a 4-3 win. Ethier now has 80 RBI to lead the club and surpassed his career high of 77 reached in 2008.
Orlando Hudson added a two-run homer, two hits and scored twice in the win. The Dodgers have lost six of nine overall with just one series win in their last seven dating back to July 24.
The D'Backs' hitters did all of their damage late as Rusty Ryal homered and Stephen Drew had an RBI triple as part of a three-run eighth. Arizona has won four of six overall despite the loss. Ryal's homer was the first of his career.
Starter Yusmeiro Petit (2-7) was roughed up for seven runs and nine hits in lasting just four innings for Arizona.
"We got beat up pretty good today. They came out swinging the bat early, very well," said Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch. "Wolf was tough early, even late in the game. There's not a lot to say about this game. They came out and beat us."
Petit ran into trouble right out of the gate as Matt Kemp doubled to start the game and Hudson singled before Ethier stroked a three-run homer to right, his 24th of the season.
A four-run fourth gave LA a commanding 7-0 advantage. Petit retired two of the first three batters around a Russell Martin base hit but served up a 2-1 slider to Wolf, who deposited the pitch over the right-field fence.
Kemp then beat out an infield hit to short and Hudson cranked a two-run blast out to right.
Juan Castro began the eighth with a base hit off Blaine Boyer and Wolf doubled to right for an 8-0 margin. Ethier then roped a two-out double to left scoring Wolf.
Ryal spoiled the shutout bid with a leadoff home run in the eighth and back- to-back one-out singles by Chris Snyder and Josh Whitesell set up an Augie Ojeda RBI groundout. Drew then ripped a triple into the left-field corner to make it 9-3 and end Wolf's otherwise solid outing.
Guillermo Mota came on and finished out the win from there.

Letter to the Editor: Rep. Herrero's visit to colonias
CORPUS CHRISTI - Lionel Lopez
Herrero's visit to colonias
We with South Texas Colonia Initiative would like to thank State Rep. Abel Herrero for taking the time last week to visit our colonias. His entire staff came and some had never seen a colonia before. It was an eye opening experience to them.
We went to visit Cyndie Park I and II. Residents at these two colonias have been having problems with their drinking water. The arsenic level on Oct. 25, 2011 was 0.0309 mg/L. The EPA's allowed level is 0.01 mg/L.
Even though their time was limited due to a town hall meeting in Robstown they were able to visit with one of the residents and listen to her issues.
We appreciate Rep. Herrero bringing his staff from Austin and Corpus Christi so they could see for themselves the conditions of our colonias.

A note from the Jr President
What a great summer! The American Junior Red Brangus Association (AJRBA) reached new heights in June at our very exciting national junior show. It was wonderful catching up with old friends and making new memories. We competed in the quiz bowl and the always hilarious costume contest, showed off our skills in showmanship and crowned a new queen for 2014-15! The week was definitely the highlight of my summer. Soon, the AJRBA officer team will be putting out information on our next junior meeting and events for this upcoming year. The officer team is planning for another successful year as we aim to increase participation of the junior members as well as continuing the increase of membership. I look forward to seeing everyone soon!
Katie Carter
AJRBA President
A Message from the Junior Committee Advisors
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the National Junior Red Brangus Show in Lake Charles, Louisiana. As junior advisors, we want to commend the junior officers, volunteers and junior committee. Their hard work and dedication makes events such as these possible.
This year's events kicked off with a tour of Louisiana Spirits. The juniors and their families learned another aspect of the agriculture industry during this tour. Our junior members and their families enjoyed authentic Louisiana cuisine throughout the week provided by Mr. and Mrs. Chad Dartez and Sam and Julie Fontenot.
The juniors competed in Ag Olympic Competitions where they won "barn bucks." These "bucks" could then be used to purchase items at a junior-only auction. Throughout the week the juniors competed in numerous contests: sales, showmanship, photography, quiz bowl, costume, and a skillathon. There was truly a contest for everyone's interest.
Mr. Stuart Watkins of Welsh, Louisiana, evaluated the cattle vying for top honors. All the participants did a wonderful job exhibiting their cattle.
The American Junior Red Brangus Association National Junior Show would not be possible without the generosity and support of our sponsors, businesses, and breeders. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our junior program. A special thank you to Mrs. Jeanie Engle for all your help with the silent auction, Katy Knox for once again providing a super challenging skillathon, Shawn Knox for being always willing to help do whatever needs to be done, Trevor Reifel for once again taking the lead on the Quiz Bowl Contest, Cecil and Stacie Ford for always making fabulous auction items and always lending a much needed hand, MSU Department of Animal Science for assisting in the livestock judging contest, and countless others that play a vital role in pulling such an event off each year. We would also like to thank our committee members for their hard work and dedication throughout the week: Joe and Jeanie Engle, Sam and Julie Fontenot, Cecil and Stacie Ford, Shawn Knox, Katy Knox, Trevor Reifel, Corey and Shannon Suire.
We look forward to another successful show season and year of activity planning. Stay updated on current plans and show location by following the American Red Brangus Association Facebook page or www.americanredbrangus.org. See you down the show road!

We've decided to start renovations on our kitchen and expand our existing laundry room to include a mud room. In addition, our siding needs to be replaced, along with back windows which include two patio doors.
Which makes sense to start first? Hubby feels we need to do all of the 3 as our kitchen reno includes a 3 feet bump-out which will affect the siding and all of our windows in the kitchen. He also feels while we're at it, might as well replace our 25 year old deck which is attached to our family room & kitchen. We've gotten a couple of estimates which are pretty pricey considering all the projects involved and am trying to persuade hubby that doing everything isn't neccesary. Which would you guys do first?? and in what order too? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd go with your husband's plan. May as well do it all at once if you can. If you can do any of it on your own, that could save on prices, e.g. build the deck. After all, how much value will it add vs the costs? Why make messes more than once? It's how I'd go about thinking about it. -Robin (female, despite the sound of my name. Just cause I'm not over here a lot) |

That plan was scrapped when he realized the demands on his time leading up to last April's NFL draft. A month removed from his rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Evans is back in school at UF two semesters shy of finishing his degree.

Kung Fu grandpa thought he was alone while practicing the nun chucks, but instead he caught the eye of a hilarious narrator.
The narrator, Reverend Aamon Miller, was leaving the Food Lion in Richmond, Virginia when he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Miller told reporters that he didn't think anyone would believe him if he told them he saw an old man swinging nun chucks by himself in the parking lot, so he parked and pulled out his phone.
Miller's opinion of the act provided the comedic narration for this viral video, which has received over 7.25 million views in 3 days.

11 Big Questions Left Unanswered By Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'
Features By Rob Hunter on November 9, 2014 | Be the First To CommentI know what you're thinking. "Here come those movie-hating FSR jerks to poop on Christopher Nolan's Interstellar with all their negativity! No wonder they were rejected from film school!" Good one guys. But here's the thing — we love movies, and more than that, we know that criticizing or asking questions of a film doesn't negate the things a movie gets right or the overall entertainment value we derive from the film. Honest. Here's my positive, spoiler-free review of Interstellar as exhibit A. (And here's our own Neil Miller's even more positive collection of words on the film as exhibit B.) Even great movies can have questionable plot turns or head-scratching moments, and while I don't find Nolan's latest to be anywhere near great I do think it's a good movie… with questionable plot turns and head-scratching moments. It's a story about nothing less than the survival of the human race, about intergalactic travel and the bending of space and time, about love and rockets. The film is a sensory spectacle with incredible visual effects and a fantastic score by Hans Zimmer, and at its heart is an emotional journey about a father's love for his daughter. It's worth seeing in theaters. But enough of that. It's time to poop on Interstellar. **Spoilers for the film are below, obviously.**
13 Big Questions Left Unanswered By 'Godzilla'
Features By Rob Hunter on May 20, 2014 | Be the First To CommentGareth Edwards' Godzilla is this summer's second wannabe blockbuster chronologically, but on a more qualitative scale it's a hell of a lot better (and on its way to being more successful) than The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It's a solid piece of summer entertainment that satisfies the senses with breathtaking visuals, tremendous sound design and a true sense of scale and power. It's also dumb as Godzooky. (Well, almost.) Awesome parts aside, the film features several moments and scenes that left us bewildered and scratching our heads. Of course it's a summer movie, a monster movie to boot, but the argument that a movie can't be both fun and smart is a non-starter. This one leaves a lot of unanswered questions behind — admittedly far fewer than the hilarious Pacific Rim did — so we're here to ask them. To be clear, this isn't where I ask why the film repeatedly cut away from the massive monster destruction happening in Honolulu and Las Vegas just to follow the lame human stories. Or why the Brody family was conveniently located at the center of each and every monster attack. Or how Godzilla, a 300 foot-tall monster, manages to sneak up on anyone. Or why a certain character billed as a lead– well, let's get to the actual unanswered questions about Godzilla. Spoilers below obviously.
12 Big Questions Left Unanswered By 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'
Features By Christopher Campbell on April 7, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, is a pretty solid comic book movie. But it is still a comic book movie, complete with a lot of ridiculous plot points that we should know to just let slide. Well, I can suspend disbelief for the sake of entertainment while I'm watching and enjoying the thing, but later I also enjoy pondering its logic and gaps regarding certain important details. I don't necessarily like the movie any less for these faults (this movie's true flaws are in the direction anyway), and in fact sometimes the more I ask these sorts of questions, the more I like greater discussions they take me to. Given that this is just a single puzzle piece in a large scheme of intertwining and forward-moving blockbusters, maybe all the questions I have left over are yet to be answered. Maybe the information I seek is in the pages of the comics — though this shouldn't be since the MCU is separate from the universe found in Marvel's pages, past and present, and has a ton of differences. Obviously, the following inquiry is full of spoilers, so beware if you haven't seen the Captain America sequel and care to.
12 Big Questions Left Unanswered By '3 Days to Kill'
Features By Christopher Campbell on February 22, 2014 | Comments (3)One of the first things answered in 3 Days to Kill is that this isn't in fact a Taken retread. Maybe it's a parody of the Liam Neeson-starring action movie — self-parody given that both movies are written and produced by Luc Besson — but the tone is surprisingly closer to the delectably cartoonish hitman movie Shoot 'Em Up mixed with the frustratingly dumb fourth and fifth Die Hard installments. With bits of The Visitor thrown in for pretty much no reason at all. It is a bizarrely stylish yet broadly comic pulp thriller more interested in the familiar trope of an absent father trying to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter than the spy plot it's primarily sold on. In playing with genre and narrative expectations the movie becomes extremely silly, maybe intentionally so, but also filled with plot holes and unanswered questions — also maybe intentionally without concern. If Besson does mean to make fun of what he's been doing with the Taken franchise (and maybe some of his early success with action heroines) the result is quite cheeky but still rather unmemorable considering we'll still always favor Neeson and his very particular set of skills to Kevin Costner and his overly non-particular talent as the best worst (or worst best) cleaner for the CIA. This may be the kind of movie that doesn't warrant going over unanswered questions, especially if the filmmakers meant for little thinking on their or our part at all, but below I've highlighted […]
10 Big Questions Left Unanswered By 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit'
Features By Christopher Campbell on January 18, 2014 | Comments (5)The thing that separates Jack Ryan movies from the James Bonds and the Mission: Impossibles and the Bournes, etc., is that Ryan is an analyst for the CIA. That means they should be smarter than your average spy thriller. Sometimes they're at least as smart. However, the latest, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, is one of the dumbest, more cliched entries of the genre. It's an embarrassment of plotting and exposition, with so many instances of presumed circumstances that fortuitously turn out to happen that it may as well be called "Jack Ryan: Lucky Duck." To put it in modern context, it's like a bad episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. yet has a lot less interest in characters and the logical choices they'd make. Questions I had leftover at the end of Shadow Recruit may be explained in Tom Clancy's Ryan novels, but that shouldn't matter. This isn't even an adaptation so much as an "original" story inspired by those books and featuring a character with the same name. I wouldn't be surprised if fans of Clancy find it no more a true Ryan installment than Die Hard fans found A Good Day to Die Hard recognizable as a movie fitting into that series. Feel free to give me clarification or suggestion of an answer to any of these, and remember that, though it should be obvious, this post is full of SPOILERS if you haven't yet seen the movie.
9 Big Questions Left Unanswered by 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'
Features By Dan Schindel on December 14, 2013 | Comments (39)Plot holes aren't the biggest issue with the Hobbit movies. Like An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug is plagued more by heavy narrative bloat and a dragging pace. But there are details that niggle in the mind once the movie is over. I'm sure that Tolkien fans will be able to answer for every single one of them with a thorough explanation that comes straight from the text. For someone who last read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings many years ago, however, these questions are cause for puzzlement. And some may indeed be unexplainable, at least definitively. Maybe some or even all of these will be answered in the last installment of the trilogy. I somewhat doubt it, but given that it will likely approach three hours in length, it will certainly have the time to do so. We'll have to wait for There and Back Again to find out. It should be obvious, but because we discuss the entire plot of The Desolation of Smaug, you're hereby warned that SPOILERS are abound after the jump.
12 Big Questions Left Unanswered by 'Elysium'
Features By Christopher Campbell on August 10, 2013 | Comments (46)Not everyone can have Isaac Asimov collaborate on their film's screenplay, but if you're going to go for an original work of science fiction it has to be solid. Otherwise, there are plenty of smartly written novels out there to be adapted. There's something very appealing about not having any source material, though, at least in theory. And at least if you've previously shown a knack for being a fresh visionary, like Neill Blomkamp has. Yet Blomkamp's strong suit is in his visuals, particularly his juxtapositions of effects-driven alien and tech stuff over Third World backdrops. Also, weapons that make people graphically explode into pieces. Maybe that all will get old eventually, but it doesn't in Elysium. What does get old fast is the suspension of disbelief we try to hold onto during the movie's many convoluted plot points and its overcooked political themes. As Rob wrote in his review, there's some good world-building in the look of the film, but sadly the script tears it all down by failing to properly explain how and why that world works exactly. And the movie as a whole leaves us with other big questions we just can't shake or fill in ourselves. Find these below and add any you're asking in the comments. (WARNING: SPOILERS ENSUE)
13 Questions Left Unanswered by 'World War Z'
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on June 22, 2013 | Comments (37)Spoilers Ahead: This article contains advanced talking points for Marc Forster's World War Z. We recommend reading it after you see the film. I know. It's pretty futile starting up a list of unanswered questions regarding a popcorn flick about vaguely defined zombies co-written by Damon Lindelof. But just because something is futile doesn't mean it can't be fun. I haven't read the original book by Max Brooks, which apparently doesn't matter given how little the movie resembles the text. I also haven't followed every little piece of the production, but that shouldn't matter either since the movie on screen should stand alone. However, where there is some relevance to explaining something on screen by the issues of the rewrites and reshoots and such, so I do try to mention it if I'm aware of it. Speaking of the infamous production problems, they do tend to factor into narrative flaws and holes and confusion like those I raise below. Additionally the expectation that the story of World War Z will continue in sequels means the filmmakers might be choosing to flesh out some stuff later on. And of course, as usual, some of the questions are not answerable at all because they're more criticisms in the form of a hypothetical query or simply disagreements with how the movie was plotted or how the characters thought or acted. All in all, let these talking points first and foremost serve as a means to discuss the movie in full without concern for spoilers.
7 Questions Left Unanswered by 'Man of Steel'
Features By Jack Giroux on June 15, 2013 | Comments (37)Spoilers Ahead: This article contains advanced talking points for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. We recommend reading it after you see the film. Anyone who called Iron Man 3 or any other blockbuster in the past few years an "epic" will be eating their words once they see Zack Snyder's giant toy set called Man of Steel. It's as if Shane Black and J.J. Abrams were playing with plastic action figures and then, all the sudden, Snyder showed up with real heroes. His Superman reboot is exciting, a visual marvel, and gives fans the movie they wanted to see from Bryan Singer. Finally, we have a 21st century Superman who punches somebody, but is there more here than a few wicked brawls? For the most part, yes. There's some heart present, especially with Russell Crowe taking part in the film's emotional peak within the first twenty minutes. After that, the movie loses some of that patient drama with certain structural and character choices. This isn't, let's say, a Star Trek Into Darkness situation where the experience falls flat by Abrams & Co. consistently choosing spectacle over logic. For every confounding choice made in Man of Steel, there's plenty of right choices made. Some of those puzzling choices raise questions, though. There's no plot holes to drive buses through here, but they feel like issues that shouldn't go unnoticed.
Why 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' Is The Summer's Worst Movie (And Why McG May Deserve An Apology)
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on June 26, 2009 | Comments (61)Does it matter that Transformers 2 is probably this summer's worst movie? Sadly, no. It's little more than crassly commercialized cinematic excess, but still some viewers and reviewers have latched blindly on to Bay's teats as if they expect awesome-flavored milk to start splashing against their tongue. And yes, I am talking about all of FSR's head honchos…

NATE Posts Tower Site Hazard Recognition Guide
Watertown, SD - Nov 25, 2013 - The National Association of Tower Erectors has posted the NATE Tower Site Hazard Recognition Guide. This online resource provides insight into the most important aspects of safety and hazard recognition on broadcast and communications tower sites. There is no charge for members or non-members to access and utilize the guide.
The guide provides safety information and requirements for a broad range of broadcast and communications tower-site hazards, from ladder positioning to the safe use of a gin pole. Provided in the Guide are sources for additional information including OSHA references and guidance to the appropriate NATE resources.
NATE says it has long believed that sharing information is key to improving safety on tower sites. In the announcement from NATE, the organization says the Tower Site Hazard Recognition Guide was developed to share knowledge between NATE members and their customers: carriers, broadcasters and tower owners. According to NATE, making the guide available to on-site personnel can empower project managers, site superintendents etc. to become part of the safety solution on their tower sites.

I'll never forget the cover of Bicycling that October. All black, save for one smaller center image of Lance Armstrong, glowing like the sun in the darkness, hands up, transcendent expression pointed skyward. He'd done something no one thought possible: Won the Tour de France after having been given a coin flip's chance of living just three years prior. I got chills every time I looked at it. I still do today.
I'm not looking to debate this whole mess (though as my friend Beth reminded me recently, bringing up Lance ignites a debate whether you want one or not). I'm not wading into the doping scandal here. At all. Whatever ends up happening may erase his name from the record books, but his effect on how many of us approached riding, training, coaching, and racing is indelible.
Who will forget, for instance, that high speed cadence? It was Lance who had so many riders tossing on 12-25s and spinning 90+ rpm over climb after climb through the winter months. His camp was all about building a colossal aerobic engine. So even if you were a 75 rpm masher, you spun it up and trained at those rapid fire cadences, sending your heart rate up and conditioning your body to use more oxygen and to ultimately be efficient turning a faster pedal stroke, sparing your muscles and maybe even your knees in the long run.
He was stunningly consistent, training year round, never falling too far below his peak form, so he didn't waste half of spring reconditioning himself for the season ahead. He didn't race into shape. He was in shape to start racing.
He stretched—reportedly an hour a day—to maintain range of motion, pedaling efficiency, and keep overuse injuries at bay. Later he embraced plyometrics, adding explosive training into the mix to keep his power sharp as he got older. I'm not saying he was the first ever to do any one of these things, but he was the most prominent, successful racer who did a lot of things differently.
Whether it was spending hours in the wind tunnel watching how various number pinning configurations created dirty air and drag, measuring every morsel that went into his mouth, or fiddling with his saddle height within a fraction of a millimeter, he was a meticulous student of the sport. And we all benefited from what he learned. And yeah, he gave a whole lot of people hope.
Given all that, I can't count how many times I referred to Lance, the Texan, Carmichael, talked about "hauling the mail," or made other Postal references over the years. I still do now and then. I probably always will, albeit less often with the passing of time, because whether or not you believe he was clean, doped to the gills, or somewhere in between, there were a whole lot of things—all perfectly legal, legitimate, smart things—he did to get that fast. And regardless of what happens or how I feel about everything else as the present saga unfolds, those lessons won't ever be erased.
I still love our sport and riding and training and racing every bit as much today as I did yesterday or the day last week when I heard the news that "changed everything." And I'll take everything I learned over the past decade and ride as fast as I can with all my heart and still believe that in the balance of life there is more positive than negative, more good than bad, and all of it is a chance to learn, get better, and move forward to higher ground. Ride on.

text: Ward JK et al. – The impact of timing upon accuracy of information has yet to be established, and many vulnerable patients are not currently being included in patient reporting studies, potentially introducing bias and underestimating the scale of patient reporting.

A story on WorldNetDaily, an on-line news site, caught my eye early last week. The title was "Why can't Christians unite to change America's ways?"
The story noted that there are people who claim to be Christians working as activists for both conservative and leftist causes. It contained the results of a poll conducted this year by Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron in partnership with Public Religion Research. The poll revealed some significant differences.
William H. "Will" Smith, of Buchanan, has an unusual background for a person seeking elective office. Back in 1997 he pleaded no contest to two felony charges of procuring prostitution.
According to a Roanoke Times article from April 19, 1997, Roanoke City Police were investigating a business called Shooters 44, which they believed was a front for prostitution. A pair of undercover police officers checked the place out. The business advertised lingerie modeling sessions and they watched one.
The Jefferson Forest netters needed to right their ship. Who better to do so than against the defending Seminole champs?
The Lady Cavs dominated Rustburg last Thursday evening, sweeping the Red Devilettes 25-13, 25-13, 25-15 on the JF home court.
Lately, I've been reading a number of analyses and opinions sparked by a few incidents over the past few weeks.
Joe Wilson, Kanye West and Serena Williams have indulged in boorish behavior.
With a last minute, surprise visit from the dominating Brookville Bees, the Liberty Cross Country team found that they needed to kick it into high gear.
Big, breaking plays and stalwart defense overcame sloppy ball-handling as Liberty manhandled Martinsville, 34-6.
In ending its 28-game streak of futility, Staunton River showed that it has speed and skill and size and agility.
Jefferson Forest fought off a furious challenge by E.C. Glass to take the regular season Seminole golf crown.
Wet playing conditions will not put a damper on the local teams' games.
Liberty will still play at Amherst. The Lancers rarely cancel because of their artificial turf. Unless there is lightning, you can count on Amherst playing.
Staunton River will still visit James River. Given that it's James River's homecoming, there is little surprise that they decided to keep this game.
They're not quite the locusts of Pharaoh's day. Nor do they (yet) qualify as a plague.
Nonetheless, stink bugs seem to be on their way to those levels. All corners of the county are reporting a greater presence of the little stinkers, and folks want to know why and what they can do about it.

Top ten yes. Mount Rushmore no. He is always looking for the easy way out.
He's already been one of the 10 best to ever step on the court. I think that's pretty clear. He needs to get more of that team success nailed down to really climb, but assuming he doesn't fall off a cliff, he's already there. 4 MVPs, 2 Finals MVPs, 10 AS Games in 11 years...and the fact that he'll, barring something unforeseen, finish his career top-10 in points, assists, win shares, PER, WS/48 and so on pretty much solidifies it.
We're doing the PSD Top-50 players all time voting right now. It seems like he'll already be voted in by the PSD population based on votes he's already been receiving. Maybe tune into those threads....
And thread title not being the same as poll title is really weird...
I no longer care about anything here except for the Entertainment Forum, which sucks; the Music forum, which sucks; and the Magic forum, which does NOT suck.
Love y'all!
Except for all of y'all.
1st you need to write your poll question better because it is opposite of what you wrote in your opening post. Also you state it's consensus that he isn't in the top 10 right now I would have to disagree. I think the consensus is that he is in the top 10 already.

Lebron is already top 10. No more questions from you bro
He already is. Silly question.
There is hating and then there is being stupid.
why don't people check what they write when they post?
not sure if anybody above said it but you wrote the opposite thing in your post and poll? Probably fooled some people.
I voted yes, he will be top 10, or no, he wont never be top 10.
Probably intentional by OP to get people to vote no when they meant yes.Originally Posted by MiamiBoy77:28702251
I hate when people make polls and put the question in the title, but then ask the complete opposite in the poll question...

Michael, I'm glad you liked our
. Your wife can talk to my wife if it will help. We are quite comfortable on our boat, I can assure you. We just don't have a lot of room to roam around or store things we don't need. And did you know that, In Hawaii they say that you aren't really a cruiser if Lin and Larry Pardee haven't bummed a tow from you?
Sailingdog - very astute. Magazines are in business to make money and subscription fees generally only just barely pay the postage. Operating costs, salaries and profits all come from advertisers. The job of the magazine is to convince you to buy what the advertisers are selling. If you've never bought magazine advertising you may not realize that editorial support is often part of the package. In other words, if Acme boats buys a half page add in Crackerjack Sailor Magazine, chances are that there will also be a favorable article about the new Acme 44 Magnum Supercruiser in the same issue. Ad salesmen will often offer a cover photo and feature article as an inducement to an advertiser to buy a full page or inside cover ad for a number that starts with $ and ending in many zeros. In my former working life I had a good friend in the "Public Relations" department of a major corporation who was paid a lot of $$ to make sure her company's products got favorable treatment from the press.
Magazines, radio and TV of course, movies and even books are infiltrated with subtle and some not so subtle marketing messages to convince you that you need somebody's product. If that weren't enough, they also spend a ton of money on lobbyists to make sure you continue to have access to easy credit so that if you don't have the cash you can still buy the product.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not some anti-corporation hippie. I know who signed the paychecks and where the profits came from that enabled me to retire at 58 (From a job in sales and marketing) I also know that most companies provide products and services that genuinely benefit the public. I'm truly glad that there is a West Marine store down the street. I'm just sayin'.....
That Acme 44 Magnum at $XXX,000.99 won't take you any farther than a Pearson Triton or Albin Vega you can buy for $10,000 or less and will probably have blisters in two years, which the Triton or Vega will not.
