Quarterly Report
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements appearing in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties because they are based on current expectations and relate to future events and future financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many important factors, including those set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading "Risk Factors".
Emerald Oil, Inc., a Montana corporation ("Emerald," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), is a Denver-based independent exploration and production company focused primarily on the development of our approximately 48,800 net acres in the Williston Basin in North Dakota and Montana. We have identified approximately 267 net potential drilling locations on this acreage prospective for oil in the Bakken and Three Forks formations. The majority of our capital expenditures in 2012 and 2013 are expected to be directed toward drilling operated and non-operated Bakken and Three Forks wells. We plan to leverage our management team's collective extensive technical, land, financial, and industry operating experience to transition from our historical non-operated strategy to a balanced operated and non-operated approach that we believe provides superior risk-adjusted returns on capital while enhancing the strategic value of our company.
In addition to our Williston Basin position, we have also assembled significant positions in two emerging Rocky Mountain oil plays. We have approximately 45,100 net acres in the Sandwash Basin in northwest Colorado and southwest Wyoming prospective for oil in the Niobrara formation. We also have approximately 33,500 net acres in central Montana prospective for oil in the Heath formation. We do not plan to allocate substantial capital to either of these areas in 2012 or 2013. However, we may increase Sandwash Basin appraisal activity in 2013 in areas with demonstrated production potential. With our multi-year lease terms in both areas, we believe we are well-positioned to monitor the significant offset operator activity that we believe may ultimately mitigate geologic risk and further evaluate the prospectivity of both oil plays. In addition to these emerging oil plays, we also have approximately 74,700 net acres in the Tiger Ridge Field located in Blaine, Hill, and Chouteau Counties, Montana, prospective for natural gas, and another approximately 2,100 net acres in the Denver-Julesburg Basin ("DJ Basin") in Weld County, Colorado.
As of September 30, 2012 our oil and natural gas production is derived from participation in wells as a non-operating partner, primarily on a heads-up, or pro rata, basis proportionate to our working interest, allowing us to participate with established operators in well economics that have high return potential with relatively low overhead cost. On July 9, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Emerald Oil & Gas NL (the "Parent") and Emerald Oil, Inc. ("Target"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, pursuant to which we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Target for approximately 19.9% of the total shares of our common stock outstanding as of the closing date. We completed the acquisition of Target on July 26, 2012 and issued approximately 1.66 million of our shares of common stock to the Parent of which 71,428 shares are being held in escrow by the Company pending resolution of certain title defects. As part of the acquisition, we agreed to maintain Target's liabilities, including approximately $20.2 million in debt owed by Target. Included in the acquisition were approximately 10,600 net acres located in Dunn County, North Dakota and approximately 45,000 net acres in the Sandwash Basin Niobrara shale oil play in northwestern Colorado and southwestern Wyoming. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, five existing members of our board of directors resigned, and their vacancies were filled with directors selected by the remaining members of our board of directors. Also in connection with the closing of the Emerald acquisition, we entered into employment agreements with six officers, J.R. Reger (Executive Chairman-formerly our Chief Executive Officer), Mike Krzus (Chief Executive Officer), McAndrew Rudisill (President), Paul Wiesner (Chief Financial Officer), Karl Osterbuhr (Vice President of Exploration and Business Development) and Mitchell R. Thompson (Chief Accounting Officer-formerly our Chief Financial Officer).
We intend to enhance our return on capital and growth potential by adding operating capabilities with our recent acquisition of Target. We believe adding operating capabilities provides increased control over the planning and designing of well development and increases our long-term growth prospects and attractiveness to partner with others. The delineation of the Williston Basin continues to expand and evolve as development activity increases and well designs improve to enhance production and well economics.
We intend to trade or swap our acreage with other operators to increase our operating acreage or potential working interests in areas where we have existing acreage. Most trades are for comparable acreage and mutually beneficial for both parties as we consolidate and increase our working interests.
Recent Events
Equity Offering
On September 28, 2012, we completed a public offering of 13,392,857 shares of common stock to the public at $5.60 per share. The gross proceeds from the offering were $75 million, and the net proceeds were approximately $69.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The sale of the shares of common stock closed on September 28, 2012. The underwriters elected to exercise the over-allotment option to sell an additional 484,698 shares of common stock at $5.60 per share. The gross proceeds from the over-allotment exercise were $2.7 million, and the net proceeds are approximately $2.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The over-allotment exercise closed on October 26, 2012.
We used a portion of the net proceeds from this offering, along with cash on hand, to repay a portion of outstanding indebtedness and for additional operable leasehold acquisitions. We intend to use the remaining proceeds to fund drilling and development expenditures in the Williston Basin and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
McKenzie County Acquisition
On October 5, 2012 we acquired 4,453 net acres in McKenzie County, North Dakota for $3,200 per acre from Slawson Exploration Company, Inc. ("Slawson"). Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we agreed to acquire certain oil and gas leaseholds, and various other related rights, interests, equipment and other assets. The effective time for the transfer of the leases was September 1, 2012. The purchase included operating permits for four wells and a recently constructed well pad and tank battery at an additional cost of $1.18 million, for a total cash purchase price of $15.4 million.
Special Shareholder Meeting
On October 22, 2012, we held a special meeting of our shareholders. Our
shareholders approved the Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
of the Company to (i) effect a name change of the Company to Emerald Oil, Inc.,
(ii) effect a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of our common stock, and (iii) increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance to 500,000,000.
On October 22, 2012, we filed the Articles of Amendment with the Montana Secretary of State to effect the name change, the reverse stock split and the authorized share increase. The Articles of Amendment became effective upon its filing with the Montana Secretary of State. As a result of the reverse stock split, every seven outstanding shares of our common stock combined automatically into one share of common stock. Each shareholder's percentage ownership and proportional voting power remains unchanged after the reverse stock split, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. As a result of the reverse stock split, adjustments were automatically made to certain terms of certain of our outstanding securities, including its outstanding options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and warrants.
Our shareholders also approved a proposal to amend our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan") to increase the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan to 24,500,000 shares. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock now available for issuance under the 2011 Plan is 3,500,000 shares.
Assets and Acreage Holdings
We currently controlled approximately 200,000 net acres in the following five primary prospect areas:
· 48,800 net acres in the Williston Basin targeting the Bakken and Three Forks shale oil formations in North Dakota and Montana;
· 45,100 net acres in the Green River Basin targeting the Niobrara shale oil formations in Colorado and Wyoming;
· 33,500 net acres in a joint venture targeting the Heath shale oil formation in Musselshell, Petroleum, Garfield and Fergus Counties of Montana;
· 2,100 net acres in the Denver-Julesburg Basin targeting the Niobrara shale oil formation in Colorado and Wyoming; and
· 74,700 net acres in a joint venture in and around the Tiger Ridge natural gas field in Blaine, Hill and Chouteau Counties of Montana.
Williston Basin - Bakken and Three Forks
The Williston Basin is one of the largest oil resource plays in North America and has been the focus of extensive industry activity over the last several years. As of November 1, 2012, according to the North Dakota Industrial Commission, 186 rigs were drilling in the basin, and since the application of modern horizontal drilling techniques began in 2007, thousands of Bakken and Three Forks wells have been drilled throughout the basin. We believe that this industry activity, including drilling activity, in close proximity to our leasehold, has substantially mitigated the geologic risks of our anticipated drilling locations. The Williston Basin is geologically and aerially well-defined, and almost all of our approximately 48,800 net acres are positioned within McKenzie, Dunn, Williams and Mountrail Counties, North Dakota, and Richland County, Montana, which are all generally recognized as being prospective for both the Bakken and Three Forks formations.
At present, our Williston Basin acreage position consists of approximately 16,000 net operated acres in McKenzie and Dunn Counties, North Dakota and Richland County, Montana where we have either secured operatorship through approved drilling permits or we believe we have sufficient working interests to claim operatorship in individual drilling spacing units pending approval of drilling permit applications. In addition, we hold approximately 2,200 net acres in Williams and McKenzie Counties in North Dakota and Richland County in Montana, with working interests that we believe are sufficient to enable us to claim operatorship if we can achieve modest increases through continued acreage acquisitions and swaps. Our remaining acreage position consists of approximately 30,600 net acres in Williams, McKenzie, Dunn and Mountrail Counties in North Dakota, and Richland County, Montana, where we hold relatively low working interests and expect to continue to maintain our non-operated working interests or to utilize such leasehold to consolidate our operated working interests in current or future selected core focus areas.
We are currently in the process of optimizing our participation in our non-operated acreage. While we cannot control the timing of capital expenditures for our non-operated properties, we may choose to selectively participate in proposed wells, based on our internal capital return criteria and our internal geologic knowledge. We consider the experience gained from our non-operated interests to be valuable due to the high quality of the operators. These interests have allowed and will continue to allow us to leverage valuable technical data across the basin in order to analyze our election to participate in what we believe to be the most economic wells. The amount of detailed, well-specific data we have acquired as a result of our participation in approximately 200 gross non-operated wells to date, together with publicly available information, has allowed us to compile a valuable database of well information that we use to select our operated development areas and formulate optimal well designs.
Using industry-accepted well down-spacing assumptions, we believe there could be over 267 net potential drilling locations on our acreage prospective for oil in the Bakken and Three Forks formations. Consistent with such assumptions, we believe that each 1,280-acre unit can support approximately four Bakken and three Three Forks well locations. We plan to embark on an aggressive drilling program to convert our substantial undeveloped operated leasehold position to production, cash flow and reserves. For the 15-month period ending December 31, 2013, we plan to spend approximately $72.5 million on well development in the Williston Basin. Specifically, we plan to spend approximately $55.0 million to drill 5.0 net operated wells at an average estimated cost of $11.0 million per well and approximately $17.5 million to participate in 1.9 net non-operated wells at an average estimated cost of $9.2 million per well.
The following table presents summary data for our Williston Basin project area as of November 8, 2012:
Planned Capital Expenditures* Net Acres Net Identified Drilling Locations Net Wells Drilling Capex Operated 16,000 88 5.0 $ 55.0 Non-Operated 32,800 179 1.9 $ 17.5 Total Williston Basin 48,800 267 6.9 $ 72.5
* October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013
Sandwash Basin - Niobrara
As of September 30, 2012, we own an interest in approximately 45,100 net acres in the Sandwash Basin prospective for the Niobrara formation in northwestern Colorado and southwestern Wyoming. Four experimental single-stage fracturing treatments were completed with limited success in three tightly-spaced appraisal wells drilled in 2011, using various well completion designs during 2012. Appraisal activities for the 2013 program will focus on areas that have historically demonstrated significant oil and gas flows. With our multi-year lease terms, we believe we are well-positioned to monitor the significant offset operator activity that we believe will enable us to further mitigate geologic risk and assist us to evaluate the prospectivity of the oil play. Most of our leases in the Sandwash Basin expire after 2014, providing the opportunity to monitor offset operator drilling activity and well results before committing capital to a significant drilling program. We are encouraged by competitor announcements of substantial drilling plans and initial production rates in the Sandwash Basin over 500 Boe/d in one horizontal well and vertical well completions producing over 100 Boe/d.
Big Snowy Joint Venture - Heath Shale Oil
As of September 30, 2012, we own an interest in approximately 33,500 net acres located in central Montana as part of a joint venture targeting the Heath shale oil. We have begun to see substantial permitting activity and drilling in the area. We believe the Heath shale has similar characteristics to the Bakken and Three Forks formations, and several of the same development partners are operating in the area. Our five-year primary term leases have three-year extension options that will allow us to hold our leases with minimal incremental capital into 2017.
DJ Basin - Niobrara
As of September 30, 2012, we own an interest in approximately 2,100 net acres in Weld County, Colorado and Laramie County, Wyoming, with 1,400 net acres currently held by production as we continue to monitor the performance and characteristics of the producing wells. We have no plans for drilling any additional development wells in the DJ Basin under this development program during 2012.
Major Joint Venture - Tiger Ridge Natural Gas
As of September 30, 2012, we own an interest in approximately 74,700 net acres in and around the Tiger Ridge natural gas field in Montana. We participated in the drilling of two wells with Devon Energy Corporation, both of which were drilled and shut-in in 2010. We conducted a 3-D seismic program during 2010 and drilled and completed six exploratory wells in the fourth quarter of 2011 with our joint venture partners, Hancock Enterprises and MCR, LLC, as operators. We have an average working interest of 70% in these initial wells. These wells are currently shut-in and awaiting pipeline hook-up.
Productive Wells
The following table summarizes gross and net productive oil wells by state at September 30, 2012 and 2011. A net well represents our fractional working ownership interest of a gross well. The following table also does not include 21 gross (1.08 net) Bakken and Three Forks wells that were in the process of being drilled, awaiting completion, in the process of completion or awaiting flow back subsequent to fracture stimulation as of September 30, 2012 and 56 gross (1.79 net) Bakken and Three Forks wells as of September 30, 2011.

Exploratory Wells
In 2012, we participated in the drilling of the Johnson 31-17 SWH well in an undeveloped area of Mountrail County, North Dakota with a 3.13% working interest. The well was abandoned after experiencing poor oil shows during the drilling process. The dry hole costs associated with this well were $149,714. The costs associated with this well were included in the full cost pool and subject to the depletion base. Of the 185 gross productive wells that we have participated in we have participated in only two dry holes.

The following table presents information about our revenues and produced oil and natural gas volumes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2012, we were selling oil and natural gas from a total of 185 gross wells (approximately 10.25 net wells), compared to 51 gross wells (4.16 net wells) at September 30, 2011. Revenues from sales of oil and natural gas were $7,111,569 and $18,973,331 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $2,872,674 and $5,371,830 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Our production volumes increased 168% and 277% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The production primarily increased due to the addition of 6.59 net productive Bakken and Three Forks wells from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we realized $83.56 and $85.16 average price per barrel of oil, respectively, before the effect of settled oil derivatives compared to $87.83 and $88.57 average price per barrel of oil during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, crude oil represented 97% and 98% of revenues, respectively, and 93% and 94% of production volume, respectively.
All data presented below is derived from accrued revenue and production volumes for the relevant period indicated.

Loss on Commodity Derivatives
Realized commodity derivative losses were $120,706 and $59,681, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Unrealized commodity derivative losses were $1,514,729 and $236,646, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. There were no commodity derivates losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our derivatives are not designated for hedge accounting and are accounted for using the mark-to-market accounting method whereby gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized immediately into earnings. Mark-to-market accounting treatment creates volatility in our revenues as unrealized gains and losses from derivatives are included in total revenues and are not included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheets. As commodity prices increase or decrease, such changes will have an opposite effect on the mark-to-market value of our derivatives. Future derivatives gains will be offset by lower future wellhead revenues. Conversely, future derivatives losses will be offset by higher future wellhead revenues based on the value at the settlement date. At September 30, 2012, all of our derivative contracts are recorded at their fair value, which was a net liability of $236,646. We did not incur any net asset or liability with respect to derivative contracts prior to January 1, 2012.

Does something seem a bit fishy about this post? Perfect.
We're discussing the concept of gone fishin' today, folks! Question of the day, where do you go on the open blue? Are you a fly fisher person who thrives on the rivers or more of a the bigger the better kind of water individual? No matter which you choose, boy do you we have the quality products to help you get the big keeper!
So, why would you choose a canvas product rather than nylon near the water? Great question (we hear this often!) . Some interesting information about canvas is that it expands. It's a material that when it becomes in contact with a liquid, it begins to expand. Is canvas waterproof? No, but why it is a great material when you're canoeing, hiking, fishing, or just going to work is that it is durable, lasting, quality and efficient, plus if becomes in contact with water, it expands for a time that eliminates water damage or leakage to your safe keepings.
Why doesn't Duluth Pack work with a nylon material? Sure, it's lightweight, flexible and eliminates water damage as well. However, we aren't looking for something that will last you only a year, we're wanting a product that will withstand every obstacle you go through, your children, their children, and your grandchildren's children. That's right, our lifetime guarantee on the bag is that good.
Learn HERE about our Wax Canvas option. May we say, this materials gets SO much better with age!
Now, lets talk tackle and fishing gear!
Pictured above is one option of a perfect fishing go-to handcrafted by Duluth Pack. It's the Mini Tackle Box. We made a scaled down version of our popular Soft Sided Tackle Box! Take this along when you embark on your yearly fishing trip when you want to pack light. Holds two plastic inner tackle compartments (included) and comes with a shoulder strap. Easy to pack and comes in at only $85.00! Check it out on the Duluth Pack website HERE
If you want another option with a enough room for your gear plus your child's and their friend's, we've got you covered! Check out the Duluth Pack Soft-Sided Tackle Box. After spending years on local lakes and rivers using and destroying low quality tackle boxes, the innovative fishermen and fisherwomen at Duluth Pack decided to build a box that would not only withstand years of on and off water abuse, but actually make organizing your gear simpler and more efficient.
• Burly 18-ounce canvas construction.
• Main zippered box holds five plastic inner tackle compartments (included).
• High quality outdoor specific zippers.
• Two zippered front and back pockets and two side slip pockets for organizing your coveted fishing gear.
• Durable cotton webbing handle and shoulder strap.
• Guaranteed for life. Made in the USA.
The Duluth Pack Soft-Sided Tackle Box costs $265.00, but will last you your entire fishing life, plus more! Get yours HERE
Happy fishing, everyone!
– From your friends at Duluth Pack

Thanks to the talents of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the label "spoof" has lost all respect in the cinematic world. Often credited as "two of the writers of Scary Movie" (both as a joke and warning sign), Friedberg and Seltzer devolved the spoof film using an arsenal of pop...

'Steve Jobs' Reveals the Messy Man Behind Apple's Clean Lines [Review]
Posted on Friday, October 9th, 2015 by Angie Han
Were you to go into Steve Jobs having no idea who Steve Jobs was, Steve Jobs wouldn't really tell you. The character (played by Michael Fassbender) explains to a pissed-off Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen) at one point that he "play[s] the orchestra" like a symphony conductor — but as Wozniak points out, it's one of those sentences that sounds cool but doesn't really mean anything in concrete terms.
For most biopics, this would be a failing, but for a Steve Jobs biopic in 2015, it's an asset. We don't need a movie to tell us who Steve Jobs is as a tech guru. I'm currently typing this review on my Apple keyboard, which is linked to my MacBook Air, with my iPhone 6 by my side; I know exactly who Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, is. Steve Jobs feels a revelation because it exposes Steve Jobs, the man. Read More »

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
Eventually that entire generation died and was buried. Then another generation grew up that didn't know anything of GOD or the work he had done for Israel. Judges 2:10 (MSG)
The other night Jennifer Hudson was on a late night talk show. The host asked her how she started singing, and she said it was in the church. Because her voice is so incredible, she said she became the singer of choice whenever there was a funeral. She added that families would always ask her to sing "His Eye is on the Sparrow".
The young talk show host said he wasn't familiar with the song, so he asked Jennifer to sing it. She gave a soulful rendition that captivated the audience, but I was still thinking about the talk show host not knowing the song. I just assumed everyone knew it. In fact, if you are of a certain age and were raised in the church, you are most likely familiar with "His Eye is on the Sparrow".
But the truth is, if you were not raised in the church, then no one should expect you to know the song. For that matter, there are probably plenty of churches that never use the song in their worship services.
None of this is to knock the talk show host, anyone who isn't familiar with "His Eye is on the Sparrow", or congregations who worship in different ways than the churches I grew up in (mumble mumble) years ago.
Here are two points for us all to consider:

Mickie James written off
When TNA did the train angle with Mickie James, they created a bit of controversy, but it got fans talking about their promotion. We now now why the company went that route. Mickie has some upcoming autograph sessions outside the company that were clashing with the Impact Wrestling taping schedule, so management accommodated her schedule.

Mickie James pushed at train
During Impact Wrestling, TNA ran a controversial segment featuring Mickie James and James Storm. I the goal was to get everyone talking about their promotion, then it worked out beautifully because there are a lot of anger being directed towards them. Management was forced to issue a statement because the internet wrestling community was under the assumption that the character had been killed off. Mickie is in fact still alive and recovering.

Industrial Sector Still Has Plenty of Life Left; New Research by HSBC Commercial Banking Names Seven Cities Poised to Drive Manufacturing Growth and Job Creation over the Next Decade. Unfortunately, Birmingham Isn't One of Them. but Martin Guest, Managing Director of the Birmingham Office of CB Richard Ellis, Says Rising Demand for Industrial Space Suggests There Is Life in the Region's Manufacturing Sector Yet
Byline: Martin Guest
The Midlands is the birthplace of industry, so HSBC's survey predicting a manufacturing renaissance should have made welcome reading around the region.
Regrettably, the research named seven cities that would drive the recovery - Bristol, Glasgow, Newcastle, London, Leeds, Brighton and Liverpool - but no mention of Birmingham.
The city's absence is striking, not least because some of our manufacturers have seen a significant upturn in their fortunes. For example, Jaguar Land Rover has staged a remarkable turnaround under Tata Motors, reporting record profits of more than pounds 1bn this year. The company has increased vehicle output by 26 per cent since its acquisition from Ford, with demand for parts trickling down its Midlands supply chain.
Looking at the manufacturing industry as a whole, although low levels of consumer confidence at home have impacted on the demand for products, the depreciation of the pound and low interest rates have compensated - much of Jaguar's success has been export driven, with increased demand from India and China in particular.
As a result, according to the manufacturers' organisation EEF's latest 'Manufacturing Outlook' survey, manufacturing has shown six consecutive quarters of growth. As a sector, manufacturing accounts for 13 per cent of the total economy. However, it is currently responsible for one quarter of growth. Further growth is set for 2012, with many manufacturers reporting their intentions to invest more in their businesses.
While there is no point in pretending that the picture is all rosy - manufacturing has undoubtedly been hard-hit during the recession and there are sectors which may never recover - Birmingham and the Midlands has not fared as badly as many pundits expected.
Many thought the collapse of MG Rover in 2005 sounded the death knell for the city and the region's car industry, but with MG's renaissance led by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, the reversal of fortunes at Jaguar Land Rover, and now talk of China's stateowned car maker First Automobile Works opening a plant here, the automotive sector has proved more resilient than many anticipated.
As a property business, we have witnessed at first hand the rising demand for new space from manufacturers. In recent years, take-up has been dominated by retailers and third party logistics operators, but our industrial team is now reporting increased interest from manufacturers, particularly those supplying the car industry. …

CINCINNATI, OHIO, MAY 12, 2014 --- Kumasi Motorcycle Club.
CINCINNATI – There is no hard-and-fast policing strategy of after-hour private clubs in the city, and often, authorities don't even know of their existence until violence erupts or until they're called for service.
Unlike traditional bars, which require a liquor license granted by the state to sell alcohol, all private after-hour clubs need to do to is abide by city zoning laws and charge a membership fee to serve alcohol – not sell it, authorities said.
And when the clock strikes 2 a.m. here, bars close down and stop serving alcohol.
A dynamic alternative after-hours scene could be moving to fill the vacuum with a palette of unlicensed social clubs. Akin to the password-required speakeasy joints of the bygone Prohibition era, the exclusiveness of these places is the hook to their appeal.
Insiders can read when police intervene or crack down on unlawful after-hour social clubs and what rules govern their operation.

Sometimes, those looking for a few extra drinks also can find trouble at after-hours establishments.
The latest incident of shots fired outside the Kumasi Motorcycle Club in the West End resulted in the death of Jason Dukes, 33. Dukes was shot once in the head outside of the club at about 4:45 a.m. Saturday. He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A voicemail left at the phone number listed on the Kumasi Motorcycle Club Facebook page was not returned.
District 1 commander Capt. Mike John, who oversees policing in the West End, said the police department does not maintain a list of after-hour social clubs not because there is a lack of interest, but often police don't know of their existence until they're called.
"They are not required to formally register," John said. "Generally speaking, they operate without us intervening at all, unless we're called."
The other way police know of these establishments is when an officer, normally working the night shift, may notice a crowd of people or cars parked outside of an establishment. Most of the time the clubs are quiet, John said.
Some, though, can become more illicit.
"Locations sometimes have illegal gambling, liquor sales and even semi-nude dancing," John said.
The best weapon police have against problem after-hour clubs is to seek a nuisance abatement order from the city, he said.
In areas zoned residential multi-family districts, clubs and lodges are permitted to operate so long as they do not exceed 3,000 square feet of gross floor area, according to the city planning and building department.
John said he doesn't want it to sound like police were getting Orwellian, "and we're not in the business of shutting businesses down, but people ought to be able to expect to drive down any street without fear of violence."
And as long as the club operates on a bring-your-own-bottle policy or charges membership fees to serve alcohol, such clubs are not illegal to operate, said Cincinnati vice section Sgt. Kara Graves. Some, she said, operate out of private homes.
An after-hours club is a lot less expensive to run than a conventional bar, too. Graves said buying a liquor license can cost thousands, and that doesn't include buying or renting a building and bar equipment.
But Graves doesn't see after-hour clubs as a widespread problem.
"They can be neighborhood nuisances," Graves said. "I can't recall one time where people welcomed them in the neighborhood."
She said the vice squad has investigated a handful of after-hours clubs in her three years in the unit.
Tom Gamel, president of the East Price Hill Improvement Association, said there are two that operate in the neighborhood, and reiterated that some operate out of private homes.
"I've heard some complaints from people in the area, but I can't remember violent incidents," he said.
If authorities discover that an after-hours business is selling alcohol, the owner can face misdemeanor charges for running a bar without a license. John and Graves said civil court action – declaring a place a nuisance – is probably the most effective way to shut one down.
The after-hours club, John noted, is not like a bar with a liquor license, which gives police officers reason to enter at will and look around. In contrast, he said the after-hours club is like a private party on private property, which presents the police department with a dilemma – Can officers enter the property without a warrant or not?
They can't.

I'm just curious why everyone else has chosen April 2012 since obviously none of us are pregnant yet?
For me it has a lot to do with the fact that I have some awesome opportunities this spring in my military career which I can't do pregnant so I won't get to start trying until Mid-July. It also has to do with the fact that I think spring babies are the best because you have time to lose the baby weight before the summer and you get to be all snuggled and bundled when you're HUGE lol. I think winter prego clothes are cuter too lol.
I had my daughter in April (09) and the timing was perfect, as far a weather goes and then she was a couple months old before the annual family vacation with DH's family so we were still able to go. School-wise it interferred a little, but only cause I had trouble pumping because I didn't really know how to use my pump and I refused to use formula in the beginning cause I thought it would make me a bad mom (which it doesn't) and that my baby would never want to nurse again after having a single bottle of formula (also not the case), but this time around I think it'll be easier since I know what I'm doing and hopfully I can have the baby right around spring break. I also like the idea of my kiddos being right around 3 years apart. I was hoping to have them closer together but I think that's still a decent gap.
We also really want to have our second child in 2012, because we'd like it to be at least a year old before my husband starts Dental school since we want to make sure he's getting sleep then (my daughter slept through the night most of the time, but if she woke up we both always got up and he would changed her before bringing her to me to nurse so if the baby doesn't sleep through the night, he won't either).
So yeah, that's why I'm hoping for April 2012.

Nevada Daily Mail
As of Dec. 11, McDonald County's search for a new conference home is over. Effective July 1, 2013, McDonald County will be a member of the Big 8 Conference in everything except sports, with full membership coming the following year.
Though many may look at this revelation and see promise with regard to Nevada's own search for a new conference home, Nevada High School athletic director Kevin McKinley sent out a cautionary note.
"I don't think Nevada can read anything into the Mac County admission into the Big 8 Conference other that what exists on the surface: Mac County's search for a conference home is over while Nevada's search continues," he said.
Since the dissolution of the Southwest Conference in 2007, both schools have been without a conference home, but McDonald County's search has now officially come to an end with the unanimous vote for admission from current Big 8 members. The conference has rejected Nevada for admission a total of four different times.
McKinley said there is no evidence that this new development could change anything between Nevada and the Big 8 and that their argument for voting against admitting Nevada has merit. That argument is simple: location, location, location.
Of the now nine members of the conference, the two closest is Lamar. The bus ride to and from there is an hour and the other eight members are considerably further away.
All hope is not lost, by any stretch, however. Within the past few weeks, McKinley said he has been approached by the West Central Conference that features Kansas City schools Central, St. Pius X and O'Hara, Sedalia Smith-Cotton, Clinton and Warrensburg about its possible desire to expand.
"We continue to look at our options," McKinley said. Nevada was one of several schools they were visiting with. Those talks were very preliminary."
Though McDonald County's admission into the Big 8 could further complicate scheduling issues for McKinley and the Nevada High School and Nevada Middle School athletic departments given the fact that Nevada has 43 major sports events scheduled against Big 8 opponents this year and 15 more against McDonald County -- all of which are likely to be lost with those schools needing more room for conference games in their schedules -- McKinley and the rest of the Nevada R-5 administration haven't given up.
"I am more than a little worried we will be able to fill our schedules starting with the 2014-'15 school year with this latest development," McKinley said. "Remember, folks are watching our reaction to this latest bit of tough news."
Though it is too early to say whether or not talks with the West Central Conference will amount to anything, it isn't hard to see that things don't look good for Nevada when it comes to future scheduled should its independent status remain unchanged. However, McKinley said the search will continue and every effort must be made to help the process along.
"Having everyone buy into the philosophy that when we host or when we travel to our games our fans, students, coaches and athletes are all auditioning for conference acceptance," he said.

Birth certificate
I think I remember that your daughter lived for awhile after birth, so it seems like something to keep checking into. If the hospital can't/won't help you, the county should be able to. We got our son's at the health department.
Evan (3/14/2009) ^Ben^ (2/22/2011-Trisomy 18)
Helped me fill out the paper work so I expect them to actually say something about if we could get a birth one or not. They would help me get help bc they were so helpful through everything else!
I think it depends on where you live and the laws that your country and or state has.
Where I live in canada we were given no official paperwork at all, at the time I never really dug too far into it (however I think now I might check into it again). I was told by a doctor at the hospital that they will not issue me a birth or a death certificate and that was standard practice in my province, the hospital would send a piece of paper declaring a still birth to vital statistics but it was not something I would get a copy of. I was stunned by this, it is almost like saying according to the government my son never existed other than as a statistic. The only official paper work I have to prove that he existed is a certificate of cremation given to me by the funeral home and my midwife made me a copy of her paperwork that she fills out at any birth she attends which is just for my medical records.
I know that there are a lot of places that offer non official certificates of life here are a few that I can think of off the top of my head:
This site sends you a lovely certificate and writes your baby's name in their "Book of Life" and they always keep a candle burning near the book in memory of all the sweet babies : www.innocents.com/shrine.asp
This site has info about various US State laws regarding stillbirth and also some info on how to make changes to those laws: www.missingangelsbill.org/index.php...
www.designsbydana.com/BirthCerts6St... this site has lots of certificates ata very small fee.

Oops I am sorry, I just remebered that your sweet girl was not stillborn but did in fact live for a time. Again I still think it varies depending on state laws. My Lukas was in fact stillborn but I was told that even had he lived for a few weeks our province does not issue birth certificates untill a few months later so he would likely not get one.
Good luck to you!

I live in Texas also. The kind lady we dealt with at our funeral home brought my son's death certificate to our house. I also went to one of the city's service centers and picked up a copy of his birth certificate. I was worried that it would be stamped "deceased," but that was not the case. Since your daughter was born alive, she should have a birth certificate in the state of Texas. My son lived just over an hour. Good luck with this.

If your baby was born alive then they have a birth certificate and you have a right to get it. Many states offer a stillbirth certificate for those babies who passed before they were born but you have to request one. Our funeral home got the death certificate for us.

I would estimate it only took about 10 minutes or so for the birth certificate. They have to enter your info into the computer and find the certificate you're looking for, and then they printed it and stamped it with a raised seal to certify it. I was a wreck while I was there. I was afraid the woman would see in the system that my son had died and she would give me a pitiful "I'm sorry" or that the certificate would be stamped "deceased" but she didn't even seem to notice that, so maybe it wasn't in her system? I was just glad I didn't fall apart in public. I did cry when I got to my car, but that's pretty normal for me. Good luck, sweet mama. Bella deserves for you to have her birth certificate in your possession.
A funny little side story about when I went to get Evan's birth certificate. I remember it clear as day. Like I said, I was worried about crying there in the office and drawing attention to myself, and I was nervous about it. I went shortly after he was born and died. My emotions were raw, to say the least. I was carrying a brand new leather purse, and I had only been carrying it for a day or two. I was standing there at the counter talking to the lady and one of the straps on the purse came completely unstitched. I hadn't noticed any loose stitching before, but the strap came completely unattached to the purse on one end. It was a nice distraction from what I was there for, and I set my purse down on the counter. I believe that it was Evan playing a little trick on me to lighten my mood. Call me crazy- lol- that's okay. For a while I was going to take it to a leather shop and have it re-sewn, but I just never did. I haven't been carrying it either- obviously- but it's my sweet reminder about my trip to get his birth certificate. Maybe I'll dig it out of my closet now and take it to be fixed. :)

Native of Cut Off running UNO track program
Published: Saturday, June 15, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 9:03 p.m.
Ty Sevin's bayou roots have carried him to the University of New Orleans.
Sevin, a 41-year-old native of Cut Off, was an accomplished track and field athlete and is an accomplished coach who was selected to take over the UNO track and field program in July 2012.
Sevin, who spent half of his sophomore year of high school at South Lafourche before moving to Berwick when his mother began pursuing a master's degree in nursing, said being closer to home was a major factor in taking over the UNO program, which was slashed after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and was later discontinued, but returned at the Division I level this year as a member of the Southland Conference.
"I had been coaching at the Olympic and professional level for about six years, and being from the area, I just felt like the University of New Orleans had three major things going for it," Sevin said about taking the job. "I felt the administration was very set on turning the program around and excelling. No. 2, I felt like the academic structure at the University of New Orleans was very competitive to be able to recruit against other schools, and the third thing was having Tad Gormley Stadium as our main stadium. I felt like that facility would be a great recruiting tool for us."
Tad Gormley Stadium is a special place for Sevin. It is where he picked up his first all-American honor as an athlete in 1993.
Sevin, the son of Philip Sevin and Debbie Schiro, is a former U.S. National Track and Field coach, who also spent many years coaching in college. He was also a world class javelin thrower.
Sevin, who pole vaulted, high jumped and threw the javelin during his prep career, was also an accomplished high school punter.
"I was pretty highly recruited," Sevin said. "I was a second-team all-American and first team all-state punter at Berwick, and actually committed to Colorado early on, but as things progressed, I just felt like LSU was the place for me."
Chuck Boudreaux was Sevin's high school track coach at Berwick.
"Ty was an amazing athlete," said Boudreaux, who also coached track at Nicholls State University. "I think he could have played any sport and done anything that he wanted. He was a natural. From the first day he threw the javelin in high school, he was out-throwing most of his competition. He was amazing in Class 2A at that time. He really had no competition until we got around the state level."
As good as Sevin was with the javelin, he was set on playing football so he went to LSU to do so, but was redshirted as a freshman.
And during his freshman year in Baton Rouge, a round of golf may have changed Sevin's future forever.
"I just happened to run into one of the guys on the track team, and he put the bug in my year," Sevin said. "My freshman year I redshirted and went out to the golf course to play a round of golf and got partnered up with one of the track coaches at LSU, and he talked me into coming out for the track team."
Sevin, who competed in the decathlon and javelin in college, played football at LSU in 1990 and 1991 and was a member of the 1990 track and field national title team with the Tigers.
He later went on to throw the javelin at Texas A&M and was a two-time all-American in 1993 and 1994. He was also a three-time U.S. National Team member (1993, 2002, 2003) and a four-time U.S. Olympic Trials Qualifier (1996, 2000, 2004, 2008).
Boudreaux, now 52 and retired, said he enjoyed following Sevin's athletic career.
"It's been amazing," Boudreaux said. "Ty became very close with my family. He spent a lot of time with us. He kind of adopted us a little bit when he moved to Berwick with his mom. We followed him through his whole career. I saw him at a couple of nationals and at the Olympic trials. How often do you get to know a world-class athlete, and that is what he is."
As an athlete, there are a few moments that standout in Sevin's heart and mind.
"Being the only American in the last 24 years of the Southwest Conference to win my event and be conference championship (in the javelin in 1994) was great, and throwing over 263 feet, which is 80 meters, for the first time was also really big for me," Sevin said. "And the first time I made the U.S. National team in 1993. The first time you are able to put on that U.S.A. uniform is pretty amazing."
Sevin, whose last immediate family member living in Lafourche Parish is his uncle, said he cherishes his many memories as an athlete.
"It's been a great experience for me," Sevin said. "It has allowed me to travel not only across the United States, but the world, and I was able to represent my country three times with the U.S. National Team."
Sevin had assistant coaching stints at Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Michigan State and was the head coach at McNeese State.
He also worked with some of the top athletes in the world on the United States Olympic Committee as a head coach and with United State Track and Field as the throws and pole vaulting coach before taking the job at UNO.
Sevin has worked hard to begin rebuilding the Privateers program after it was on the brink of moving down to the Division III level three years ago.
The program had dozens of athletes transfer out, but Sevin was hired last March and vowed to get the program going back in the right direction and this season the Privateers had two athletes qualify for NCAA regional competition.
Sevin also said he is working hard to bring in some elite athletes from around the world, especially in the javelin where he excelled.
He added he has had success learning from his past coaches and is driven by what he could not accomplish himself as an athlete.
"I have been very blessed. The coaches I have had along the way were really phenomenal. I had two or three that were probably the best in the world," Sevin said. "But I think where my drive comes from is that I don't have a tolerance for mediocrity. I have that internal desire to be the best. On paper, it may have looked like I achieved a lot as an athlete, but I also had some shortcomings, and those drive me as a coach."
Boudreaux, who also coached AAU track for 22 years, said Sevin's attention to detail also makes him a top-flight coach.
"He is very technique oriented, and I saw that when he was in high school," Boudreaux said. "Ty would see athletes in other events he had never even done before, and he could see the breaks in technique. I have watched him coach now all these years, and I have seen him take athletes who were already on the national stage and help them take that next step. Ty has that natural knack of taking that athlete and showing them those little fine points that make that much of a difference."
Sevin, who also coaches the cross country teams at UNO, said his goals as a coach are the same as they were when he was competing.
"There were a lot of things (as an athlete) in the track world that I wanted to achieve, but I wasn't able to. I know I can look into the mirror and say I gave it everything I had, but I think that helps me push athletes to achieve all their goals," Sevin said. "That is a huge motivational factor for me. I learn and study and try to be the best because ultimately when you are a coach you are trying to coach world champions or Olympic champions or NCAA champions or conference champions. I think the ultimate desire to win has to be on the forefront of your mind at all times."

We Hardly Knew Ye
One great airline, Independence Air, is now shutting down for good on Thursday. For those of who you didn't fly it, you would miss it too. All the seats were a bright blue leather, comfortable, and fares were quite cheap (sometimes as low as 39 dollars one way).
My last flight included a flight attendant who opened with the following introduction speech:
"Hi, my name is Fritz and I along with Jen and Alex will be your flight attendants for this flight. But I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that you'll have to put up with us for about an hour. The good news is that I just saved a bundle on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
"... There is no smoking on this plane. Disabling the smoke detector in the bathroom is a federal offense. However, if you exit the plane anywhere between here and our destination, please feel free to smoke as much as you like.
"...If you're travelling with a child, be sure to adjust your oxygen mask first, in the event of an emergency. If you're travelling with two children, pick a favorite."
To Fritz and the rest of the I-Air crew, you'll be missed!

First of all I would like to know what is the actual root cause of deadlocks in SQL Server 2005. Is it because when two processes access the same row in a table?
Anyways, consider two tables
_Table_Now_ and
_Table_History_ where both having the same structure.
Suppose there is one column called
So when one process tries to UPDATE a record with
NAME='BLUE' in
_Table_Now_, first, it need to put the present row with
NAME='BLUE' into
_Table_History_ then update
_Table_Now_, and also delete previously present row from
Deadlock occurs while deleting. I do not understand why?
Please guide me!

This remake of a South Korean movie ultimately provides fewer scares than the average aging baby boomer feels every time they look into a reflective surface. show more
Actually a marked improvement over the plodding and confusing original. show more
An occasionally inventive but ultimately plodding horror film. show more
One of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life. I found myself laughing out of embarrassment rather than being any ware near scared. The idea of the movie was decent, but when you take a deeper look at the plot line, it just doesn't make any sense. Plus, its dumb. I turned it off after about an hour.
On a scale of one to ten - ten being best - I'd give it a 3. The plot was enough to put me to sleep......
i thought this movie was great..i figured when it came out it would be like all the other pg-13 chinese horror movie remakes..but this one was different...it wasnt made to be some cheap scare flick..it actually went into the story and i thought that was pretty good...would recomend any horror fan to see this movie..

Jorge Morales defeated challengers Paul Nolting and Paul Franke for the Republican party nomination for the Bartholomew County Council District 4 councilman seat.
Morales won with 819 total votes, beating out Nolting who received 775 votes and Franke with 758 votes.
The winner received about 35 percent of total votes.
Morales said watching the votes come in was nerve-racking, as all three candidates were within reach of the nomination at times.
"I led the whole time, but it was neck-and-neck," he said. "I am totally humbled that the residents of Bartholomew County trusted me with another four-year term. I'm very happy."
Morales will face Democrat Doug Memering in the November general election.
Nolting has never held office before. He said he wanted to focus on ending health insurance for part-time employees and address a lack of long-range planning.
Having three people in the race for the nomination was the difference, he said, adding he wouldn't rule out seeking office in the future.
"This was my first attempt at it. I never thought I would do it," he said. "You never say never."
Franke, who had held the District 4 council seat from 1987 through 1996, ran on the hope to retain county workers by adjusting employee compensation. He also wanted to focus on road and bridge maintenance.
Morales announced his bid for re-election in December 2013. He said he would like to find funding to replace the county garage and continue the county's strategy for balancing the county budget.
He's hopeful that there will be more partnership between the county and the city going forward.
"One example could be explored in the consolidation of the city and county garage," he said. "There can be more collaboration between the two local governments."
Morales said he wants to find more ways to decrease property taxes.
"I am very concerned about the people in Bartholomew County and their income and having to pay higher and higher property taxes," he said. "We need to bring the government to their level and do the right thing."
After the primary results came, Morales said he was going to celebrate with State Rep. Milo Smith at the pub at the Clarion Hotel.
County Council District 4

There is a break at the Bartholomew County Annex. And this time, it's not the plumbing.
Consensus is building to replace the structurally failing 86-year-old structure, a topic that has been considered off and on for 20 years.
But over the past two years, as physical condition of the building near State and Mapleton streets has worsened, elected county officials have made the issue a high priority, but have been at odds over how best to proceed.
Bartholomew County commissioners have pushed for construction of a new facility. County Council members, however, have first wanted to explore renovation or retrofitting other existing buildings.
But Bartholomew County Commissioners and members of the County Council now both support the idea of seeking financial assistance from the Cummins Foundation to cover architectural fees for a new building, Commissioner Rick Flohr said.

Indian fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth was fined 50 percent of his match fee after brushing shoulders with England captain Michael Vaughan during play at Trent Bridge, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said. The incident occurred during the first session of cricket with England batting, and Sreesanth was initially spoken to by South African umpire Ian Howell. He pleaded guilty to a charge of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct, specifically clause 2.4, which relates to "inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play." "Cricket is a non-contact sport and any deviation from that fact is completely unacceptable, a point I made to Sreesanth in handing down my verdict," said ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle, who convened the hearing after play concluded on the fourth day of the second Test. "I have no problem with players being combative on the field but there is a line they cannot cross and Sreesanth crossed that line when he barged past Michael Vaughan, a collision he had every opportunity to avoid. "I am pleased that Sreesanth accepted he was in the wrong by pleading guilty and that he apologised for his actions and I hope he learns from his mistake here," Madugalle said. Level Two breaches like that committed by Sreesanth carry a minimum penalty of a fine of 50 percent of a player's match fee, and/or a one Test match, or two One-Day International ban. With one day left to play in the Test, India were left needing a further 63 runs to achieve only their fifth win in 47 Tests in England. The third and final Test in the series is at The Oval in London.

text: Twitter investor says interim CEO Jack Dorsey can lead both Twitter and Square by Kia Kokalitcheva @FortuneMagazine August 7, 2015, 3:19 PM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Linkedin Share icons Jack Dorsey, co-founder of both Twitter and Square, has received a lot of praise over the years, but investor Chris Sacca has given him the biggest vote of confidence: namely, suggesting that he can successfully be the CEO of both companies at the same time. On Friday, Sacca took to Twitter to proclaim his picks for the company's new leadership. In June, then-CEO Dick Costolo announced he'd be stepping down and Dorsey, a former Twitter CEO, has been leading the company as interim chief since then, while also remaining CEO of Square, his mobile-payment provider. Twitter's been looking to find a permanent CEO over the past couple of months, and whether Dorsey would take on the role permanently — and whether he would leave or stay at Square — has been a big question. Square confidentially filed to go public recently, putting even more pressure on Dorsey. Twitter has said that it will only consider CEO candidates who can devote themselves fully to the position. Sacca, however, believes Dorsey can do both. In his Friday morning tweets, the investor said Dorsey should be supported by Adam Bain, currently heading global revenue and partnerships and a contender for the CEO title, as the company's president and COO, and by Ev Williams, another Twitter co-founder, as executive chairman. Twitter needs "product vision," and Dorsey undisputedly has it, according to Sacca. As for Square, the rest of its leadership is strong enough to afford only having part of Dorsey's attention, according to Sacca. In the last few years, the company has noticeably beefed up its top management, splitting former COO Keith Rabois's duties between CFO Sarah Friar and former Googler Françoise Brougher who joined in 2013, among others. Sacca posted his tweets shortly after a report from Bloomberg said that Square's bankers are working on a backup plan in case Dorsey does leave the company to lead Twitter. It's not clear how likely that is, however. On behalf of many investors, analysts, users, advertisers, media partners, and Twitter employees, it's clear who should be Twitter's CEO: — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 Twitter should name @jack as full-time CEO and promote @adambain to President and COO. @ev should become Executive Chairman of the board. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 Twitter needs product vision and @jack has that in spades. The other most important product visionary is @ev. The founders see the future. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 Anyone paying attention knows @adambain is one of the best operators in business today. His day-to-day leadership will be invaluable. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 In parallel, @jack should remain CEO of @Square. He has incredibly strong teams at both companies and he can do both jobs. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 Those three leaders have the trust and respect of users, employees, advertisers, media partners, investors, and each other. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 While I believe Twitter is in much better shape than as it was described on the earnings call, Twitter can still be so much more. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 Naming @jack, @adambain, and @ev will immediately improve employee morale, shore up investor confidence, and move Twitter's product forward. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015 Twitter's board of directors should put this looming uncertainty to rest by naming those three and letting everyone get back to work. — Chris Sacca (@sacca) August 7, 2015

Does everyone else get goosebumps whenever they play the opening montage and announce the starting line-ups? It gets me every time.

I think that it depends entirely upon the quality of you PA announcer. There are some who are very good (UK and Chicago Bulls circa Jordan era) and some who are REEAAALLY cheesy.
As Blimpie mentioned, 90's era Bulls intros did it to me everytime. Especially that second 3 peat with Jordan and Pippen and Rodman. There was such an aura and awe that you believed every game out they were going to win.
And I am a UK fan, but somehow it's not quite the same thing for me as the Bulls.
I think with the UK PA announcer, it is really a combination of the video montage and music more than his technique, per se....Quote:

That was a fun time.
That's more like it. Not being a UK fan, their intro really doesn't do much for me.Quote:

There's a few things that get my blood pumping,
Growing up a UC fan, in it's hey day, there was little better then hearing the PA "Ladies and Gentleman, here come the Cats," as UC players jogged onto the court.
The Bengals opening thing is uber-cheesy, but seeing the Bengal maul the opponents flag is still exciting in its completely over the top manner.

A buddy of mine has season-ticket floor seats, which doesn't hurt.
However, my interest in the NBA pales in comparison to my passion for the Reds, Bengals, and esp. UK.
I was always a big Michael Jordan fan. Getting to travel w/ my dad to Washington D.C. to see him in his final season w/ the Wizards was a special experience. They were playing the T-Mac/Yao led Rockets. Jordan, at like 42, ended up with 35 as the game went into overtime with the Wizards emerging victorious. Jordan threw down a thunderous dunk in overtime which I found absolutely incredible considering his age and the number of minutes that he logged that game. Amazing. I'll never forget it.
The Cavs are okay, but i'm a Pacers fan so there goes our streak.
Ohhh yeah, I hate the Pacers. Ron Artest is the biggest thug in the NBA (and that's really saying something!).
Artest just has a lack of intelligence and a bad temper problem, I wouldn't exactly say he's the worst in the NBA, IMO. He's one of my favorite players though, so I'm a little biased.
I'm not a big Pacers fan (T'Wolves supporter) but Artest is no thug. I like his game a lot, although he needs a little help in the understanding of how society works.Quote:
