ROUND ROCK — The biggest concern Bushland baseball coach Jeff Smith had expressed about his pitching staff early in the playoffs didn't bite the Falcons until the very end — when it counted the most.
One day after senior Gerald Reyna's masterful eight-inning shutout in the state semifinal game, the Falcons couldn't replicate that performance on the mound in the Class 2A state championship game Thursday afternoon at Dell Diamond against Jarrell. Three Bushland pitchers combined to give up 10 walks, which were a major factor as the Falcons lost their second state championship game in the last three years, 9-2.
Contrast that performance with that of Jarrell's Tyler Krupp (who had only one win before the state championship game), who walked none, and it's easy to see how this game reached its outcome.
"Ten walks against anybody at this day and time, you're going to struggle," Smith said.
Both Class 2A semifinals Wednesday belonged to pitchers, especially Bushland's 1-0 win over Brock, as Reyna picked up his third win in a six-day span. Later in the evening, Jarrell (27-4) survived a 13-inning duel with Elkhart, winning 3-2.
That left both teams having to find other options in the championship game after putting their best foot forward in the semis. For Bushland (31-7-1), it seemed logical to go with sophomore Blane Barnett, who pitched a no-hitter against Colorado City in his first playoff appearance.
For Jarrell, though, it was trickier, since Aaron Burns pitched seven innings against Elkhart while Morgan Cooper threw six, limiting their availability against Bushland. That left it up to Krupp, whose lone win prior to the state tournament came last week in the third game of the Region IV-2A finals against Hallettsville.
But Krupp gave up only six hits — all singles — to the Falcons, and the two runs Bushland scored in the top of the seventh to avert a shutout were unearned.
"Krupp did a great job of keeping us off balance," Smith said. "I felt like the guy we faced against Brock (Shay Phillips) was a great pitcher but (Krupp) just had great control."
Alas, that was something missing for Bushland's three pitchers, starting with Barnett. He walked leadoff hitter Nathan Sumner to start the game, and by the end of the inning the Cougars led 3-0 even though they had only one hit.
What hurt Barnett was walking three hitters, along with an error by first baseman Scott Cutright that allowed two runs to score.
"The umpire had a tight strike zone and we just had a hard time finding it," said Barnett, who lasted only 31/3 innings. "My curveball was working but without a good fastball it's hard to get anything going."
Meanwhile, the Falcons got nothing going against Krupp, as the junior right-hander retired the first eight hitters. Bushland got the leadoff hitters on in the fourth and fifth innings, but it was a sign of the day that both times they were wiped out by double plays.
Pressed into duty, Krupp wasn't trying to do anything fancy.
"I don't know about being prepared but I was pretty nervous at first," Krupp said. "It went away after the first couple of pitches. The main strategy was put it in the strike zone."
Simple enough, but that's what Bushland's pitchers struggled with. Colton Love relieved Barnett in the fourth, and walked three of the four batters he faced, two of them bringing home runs, as Jarrell led 6-0 at the end of the inning.
By that point, it became a question of just getting on the scoreboard for Bushland. The Falcons avoided possibly getting run-ruled by turning a double play (one of three twin killings they had) to end the sixth and salvaged some pride in the seventh.
With two outs and a runner on first, Reyna kept his high school career alive by singling to left. Reyna was the only Bushland hitter with two hits.
"Honestly, I didn't think (Krupp) was that great a pitcher," Reyna said, "I just don't think we were prepared for him. It's my last game playing in high school and I wanted to go out with a hit."
Reyna kept the Falcons from getting shut out, as sophomore pinch hitter Bayler Andrews singled to left to drive home a run, then apprporiately, Dreagan Patterson drove home Reyna with a single to right to end both seniors' high school career on a high note.
But Jarrell's championship became official when Bushland's Geoffrey Weiss popped up to third to end the contest.

Red Bordeaux wines set the world standard in Cabernet and Cabernet-Merlot blends. While France's Bordeaux region and the Washington wine growing areas share a similar northern hemisphere latitude, there are important differences.
Bordeaux's climate is more maritime with frequent rains during harvest, and irrigation is not allowed during the growing season. These and other factors cause a greater variation in vintage quality in France than that typically seen in Washington and California's Napa-Sonoma regions.
During the past 15 years, red Bordeaux vintages have varied from awful (1981, 1984, 1987, 1991) to excellent (1982, 1989, 1990).
Of the wines currently available in the marketplace, the 1989s and the 1990s, while scarce and pricey, are approaching maturity. They drink well and are solid additions to the cellar.
The '91s and '92s are generally quite poor. Taste before you buy and drink up now.
The '93s, which currently are widely available, are average to quite good in quality and reasonably priced.
The '94s and '95s are much better in quality and are, in fact, very good to excellent in some cases. The '95s are being enthusiastically received and sold at near record prices for delivery in 1998. I would not be surprised to see the hype for the 1995 vintage cause the prices for current '93s and '94s (the latter won't hit the market until next spring) to weaken, and any '91s and '92s still in stock to be sold quite cheaply.
Deciding which of the 1993 and earlier vintages to buy is relatively easy. Most wine merchants have them available for tasting or can recommend tastings that you can attend.
Help from a trusted wine merchant or reference to several publications with extensive Bordeaux reviews can be most helpful. The Wine Spectator is the most widely available, but I often prefer The Wine Advocate by Robert Parker, The International Wine Cellar by Stephen Tanzer, or The Vine by Clive Coates, MW. The latter is an English publication and often presents a different perspective from other publications which are written by American authors. Most wine merchants will have one or more of these available.
Au revoir and bonne degustation.

The adage, "a place for everything and everything in its place" could help all of us when it comes to keeping our homes, offices, and other spaces clean and organized. And with autumn upon us and the holidays not far behind, now is the time to use the brisk, breezy days to get some heavy cleaning done inside or wrap up your outdoor spaces for the winter.
"Some people don't have any idea how to get organized; others really are well organized but have an event in life that's really overwhelmed them," said Jeanne Hink, owner of The Right Sort, a professional organizing and move management business in Hermitage, Pa.
Hink began her business after helping a friend downsize and move; since then she has built a business helping people organize their cluttered offices, make order of their closets or move entire households.

Orderly Fashion, show an organized closet using techniques they say will help make it easier to get dressed every day. Orderly Fashion is located in Hartford.
Lisa Dickson, owner of Decorating in A Day, looks over some fabric samples for a client in her home office.
Making what you have more accessible is the specialty of two local women who recently started a business called Orderly Fashion. Margie DeScenna and Danielle Foskie work with what you have and help you get your storage spaces in order.
"We organize what you have with products you can buy at any hardware store," said DeScenna. "Having things look organized and attractive makes it so much easier to get out the door in the morning."
The owners of Orderly Fashion believe that once you get your things in shape it's not such a job to keep them that way. Hink offers the same advice for other spaces.

"Especially in this economy, when a number of people are operating a business out of their home, this brings about a new set of challenges for keeping organized," said Hink in emphasizing the need for office organization.
Hink says we need to re-think how to file, who needs access to files, and how to establish a filing or "finding" system. "Everyone thinks differently," said Hink. "So is that receipt filed under "car" or "automobile" or "Toyota?" She's currently advocating a numerical system for office filing using keyword attachments.
Organized closets, tidy garages and workbenches are awe-inspiring, but the process can be daunting for most of us.

"Go through every closet, drawer and cupboard and do something with the contents," advises Lisa Dickson, owner of Decorating in a Day located in Brookfield and serving the local Ohio and Pennsylvania areas. "Pack it up, donate it, give it away or throw it away."
Foskie says their service helps people "throw away that dress from the '80s they have in their closet." She emphasizes that knowing what you have keeps you from making purchases you don't really need and ends up saving money. "Our slogan at Orderly Fashion is 'you really do have something to wear!'" said Foskie.
Dickson's business offers moving and downsizing coordination, interior redesign services using your own furniture and accessories and real estate staging to prepare a property for sale.
"Talk to your kids to see if they want stuff," Dickson advises baby boomers looking to edit some of their possessions. "Ask yourself if someone else who really needs it could make use of it."
So many of us have too much furniture or inherited furniture we have difficulty finding a way to use. Too much furniture makes rooms look smaller, according to Dickson.
Dickson believes redesign services are popular now since fewer people can afford to build a new home and are spending more time at home rather than going out or going on vacations. "They are trying to make the space exactly what they want," said Dickson. "I can help a client take a room that has bogged them down and make it into a space they love to come home to."
So, as the weather cools off and we get ready to spend lots more time indoors, take some tips from these professionals to get and keep your home in the best possible condition.

Sofi was a tiny 1 ½ pound bundle of Yorkie energy when she came into my life in August of 2009. I had wanted a little companion for several years and now the timing was right. The remainder of that summer was spent learning to potty train Sofi – I was as new to the process as she was! Book after book repeated the difficulty of potty training toy breeds but I hoped to accomplish it before winter set in. Well, winter came and I found myself outside in the freezing winter cold with Sofi shivering at my side. I set out to find a tiny coat to keep Sofi warm during our frequent outdoor potty sessions. After a disappointing and fruitless search, I decided to make my own coat. A simple fleece jacket was designed and made in three different sizes that winter. She was growing so fast! Then jackets were made for my son's little dogs and dresses soon followed. My kids urged me to make and sell the dog clothes but it just wasn't the right fit. I loved making dog clothes but the fun part was creating the patterns! I had worked 20+ years in the design industry specializing in kitchen design – design was my passion. So I transferred my dog clothes designs from paper to computer and Sofi & Friends was born. I hope you enjoy browsing my pattern selections as much as I enjoy making them and I look forward to seeing photos of your little creations!
P.S. Sofi is now potty trained :)
Smart & stylish Winter Dog Jacket SEWING PATTERN for your little Dude or Diva! Constructed of cotton and cotton blend fabrics, the dog coat is fleece lined and uses velcro closures on the neck and belly tabs for ease of dressing. Choose between a stand up collar or hooded version to protect your little dog from chilly fall and winter weather. Add an adorable fleece flower pin (optional and instructions included) to complete the look! Instructions included for optional D-Ring.
The SEWING PATTERN includes easy to read instructions, photos, cutting layouts, a notions list and necessary fabric yardage. Alteration instructions are provided to get a perfect fit for your dog. The sewing pattern incorporates fusible interfacing for stability and top stitching to give a quality feel and structure to the garment.
This is a PDF SEWING PATTERN. The patterns and instructions are computer drawn and written and print full size on standard 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Patterns are not refundable due to their digital nature.
Selecting the proper pattern size is important so please read the following carefully. When selecting a pattern choose the one that will give your dog the best overall fit. Girth is most important then the Neck and then Length.
How to measure your Dog (do not pull tape measure too tight)
NECK: Measure around the widest part of the neck where collar sits.
GIRTH: Measure around the chest behind the front legs.
LENGTH: Measure from base of the neck (between the shoulder blades) to where the tail starts.

About Me:
I am a 43 year old guy that was fairly athletic in high school until my mid thirties. I've run two 26k marathons and hiked up many ountains on the west coast. My knees started hurting, got married and three kids later WALLA!! 50 pounds over weight. I've always eaten fast food junk food and drank lots of coke(coka cola that is). Have tried to eat healthy numerous time and tried to quit the cokes. This has been going on for ten years now. Now I have been taking blood pressure meds and its all food related. I am a very light consumer of alcohol and always been the darn stuff just puts me to sleep. I have eaten tons of processed foods but never understood what's in them. One day I was purchasing some nutrients for my garden (with my partner "the coke can"). And was all worried about if there were any harmful things in the fertilizer that would harm the precious plants and looked down at the coke can and ever since have been on an information and transformation breakthrough
The goals I'm working toward:
- number one quit drinking cokes
- stop eating proccessed foods
- would like to run a 13K marathon
- get off the blood pressure meds
- play actively with my kids and wife
I haven't felt comfortable with my weight since:
Let me tell ya!! It was about a year after I stopped running and hiking. I would say 34 or 35
My favorite healthy food:
Cauliflower, homemade spaghetti,walnuts garlic
My guiltiest pleasure:
Aside from the cokes I really like fast food(down to once every two weeks now)
I'm inspired to live a healthy life because:
I just plain want to live longer so I can torment my children with having grandchildren lol
Healthy habits that work for me:
- strict rules(i was in the military)
- slow gradule changes
- steadily incremental goals
- reading about healthy tricks
My favorite activity at the gym is:
Tread mill and swimming pool. Oops! I have both here at my house and there they sit.
The accomplishments I'm most proud of:
- having three kids all in less than 19 months with my wife "yea we had twins"
- running two 26k marathons
- the full sized outdoor jungle
- restoration of a 1970 dodge T/A challenger

The stay was dreadful. Drafts in the flat. No heating (in November !!!). We were supposed to stay 6 nights, we stayed 2, we tooked refuge in a hotel... Humidity, mold. Painting hides poverty. Owners didn't want to give the money back. One room didn't have window.
A perfect week in the city which never sleep...
2 minutes by foot of time square, 5 minutes of the 5th avenue, what more can you ask for?...
We stay at 4 adults and a baby on the flat and the size was perfect.
Raphael and his colleague always answer to all the mail and the service to pick up off the keys or leave the luggages on the last day was very appreciable!
For our next trip in NYC we call upon to Raphael and Casanova Condos for sure! So don't hesitate to!
Apartment received as described. Subway is within walking distance in 4-5min, CVS store, Starbucks, Subway (sandwich) everything. Near or in the same house Provider: Key collection and check out everything works smoothly and tiptop! Everything happens very quickly.
Wohnung so erhalten wie beschrieben wurde. Subway ist zu Fuss in 4-5min erreichbar, CVS-Shop, Starbucks, Subway (Sandwich) alles in der Nähe oder im selben Haus.
Zum Anbieter: Schlüsselabholung sowie Check-Out funktioniert alles reibungslos und tiptop! Geht auch alles sehr schnell.
apartment was spacious and clean, unfortunately very noisy from the street side. provided sufficient material except towels: it was only the one for the shower, nothing for the hands or face PS there is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow
appartamento spazioso e pulito, purtroppo molto rumoroso dal lato strada. materiale fornito sufficiente tranne gli asciugamani: era disponibile solo quello per la doccia, niente per le mani o il viso
P.S. non c'è ascensore e le scale sono molto strette
the location is perfect. but absolutely no value for the money. we could not take a shower as the shower tab gave almost boiling water without the possibility to vary temperature. it was dangerous! and the apartment was rather dirty, in particular the kitchen, and the central light in the kitchen did not function so it was very dark inside. we complained immediately, and they promised to send someone, but it never happened. we asked for a partly refund of the rental, but no reaction. With a bit more effort this can be a great apartment on a perfect spot in the upperwest area, but it requires better management.
Fantastic apartment in a great location. Would love to stay there again.
Close to most sites. Apartment was very clean and comfy beds.
Very good location, close to theater district, high line, several subway lines.....rooms were as expected but sofa bed not. Arrangements to get into the apartment OK. Thanks Mo.
This property needs a bit of work. Good location
Arrived outside the apartment, no one there, called, oh since 2 days Rohrbruch, tantamount someone and brings us elsewhere.
Absolute Katarophe, bad location, window pane by a Rigibsplatte replaced (only reingestellt), dirty, no sheets for the sofa bed, shower tray only in a diving suit walked.
The next day, after countless phone calls to get another apartment.
Was slightly better, all the windows available, only,
was still inhabited, shower curtain with a lot of mold spores, had a sofa bed approx sensation 70 years old mattress, no air conditioning (30 degrees), window did not work, the front too loud) Ave. Rear odors through gastronomy. All in all we felt completely ripped off by the host and would never book in life again with him.
Vor dem Apartment angekommen, keiner da, angerufen, oh seit 2 Tagen Rohrbruch, kommt gleich jemand und bringt uns woanders unter.
Absolute Katarophe, schlecht Lage, Fensterscheibe durch eine Rigibsplatte ersetzt (nur reingestellt), dreckig, keine Bettwäsche für die Schlafcouch, Duschwanne nur im Taucheranzug begehbar.
Am nächsten Tag, nach unzähligen Telefonaten ein anderes Apartment bekommen.
War etwas besser, alle Fensterscheiben vorhanden, nur,
war noch bewohnt, Duschvorhang mit jeder Menge Schimmelsporen, Schlafcouch hatte eine ca. gefühlte 70 Jahre alte Matratze, keine Klimaanlage (30Grad), Fenster auf ging auch nicht, vorn zu laut ) Ave. hinten Gerüche durch Gastronomie. Alles in Allem fühlten wir uns durch den Gastgeber komplett verarscht und würde nie im Leben noch einmal bei ihm buchen.
When we arrived home a fine. Host smiling and with a certain humor. Little surprise our housing is undergoing a concern. We offer us alternative accommodation. Smaller but better placed so good we had to adapt. General apartment so this little unforeseen. A very good communication and a host always available.
I recommend
A notre arrive un accueil très bien . Hôte souriant et avec un certaine humour . Petite surprise notre logement étant subit un souci . On nous a proposer un logement de substitution . Plus petit mais mieux placé donc bon il a fallu s'adapte . De manière général appartement ce petit imprévu . Une très bonne communication et un hôte toujours à disposition .
Je recommande

Mizrahi Bank Gains Most in Three Weeks on Plan: Tel Aviv Mover
Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd. advanced the most in more than three weeks after the country's fourth-largest bank approved a plan that boosts return on equity to 17 percent.
The shares added as much as 4.3 percent before closing 2 percent higher at 28.55 shekels at 4:30 p.m. in Tel Aviv. That was the biggest gain on a closing basis since July 1. The Tel Aviv Banking Index fell 2.3 percent and the benchmark TA-25 index lost 1.6 percent.
"While the aims are very ambitious, they met the aims of their previous strategic plan and they deserve credit for that," Adi Scop, a banking analyst and the head of sales at I.B.I.-Israel Brokerage & Investments Ltd., said today by phone. "If they meet the new targets, I tip my hat to them."
Mizrahi's board approved a five-year plan to meet core capital requirements by January 2014 and maintain the existing dividend policy, the bank said in a filing to the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The ROE target is based on the current core capital requirement of 7.5 percent. The rate was 14 percent at the end of 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The bank plans to reach its goal through organic growth in its traditional businesses and with more efficient operations, fiscal constraint and greater back office activities, Chief Financial Officer Eldad Fresher said at a press conference today in Ramat Gan, Israel. "We will continue to do what we know how to do well," he said. "There is no change in direction."
Mortgage activity will continue to be a central focus for the bank, which is also looking to increase personal lending and loans to corporations. The plan includes an average gain in revenue by at least 8 percent a year until 2017 and keeping average annual expense increases under an estimated 4.5 percent. The bank plans to add 75,000 new customers a year by 2017 from an estimated 60,000 new customers this year.

Most football coaches have that one mentor they had back when they were a player they admired. They will also will model their game in one way or another to somewhat mimic a past coach they've had or admired and respected.
While a strength and conditioning coach may not necessarily be viewed in the same way that an offensive or defensive coordinator or head coach, they do similar things.
Penn State's new strength and conditioning coach Craig Fitzgerald has taken that same approach that some coaches do by mimicking and borrowing.
Fitzgerald spoke at the DuBoistown VFW on Thursday evening with fans about conditioning and Penn State football. He has had various different mentors, and while he's learned from all, South Carolina's Steve Spurrier is his biggest influence.
"(They've all had) different ways of motivating the team. Coach Spurrier, I thought he did a heck of a job of having the guys ready when they needed to be ready and I took that as a strength coach, like when do we want to peak our guys? How to keep them going throughout the year, and I learned a lot of how to work a team," Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald joined a whole new staff at Penn State, including head coach Bill O'Brien who hired Fitzgerald from South Carolina. The new coaching changes bring with it a new philosophy, and that's no different for Fitzgerald.
"I think everybody has their own playbook, if you're offense or defense or strength and conditioning. I believe that this playbook is the best playbook there is," Fitzgerald said. "I believe this works best for our guys. Barbells, free weights, full body movements, works a range of motions, flexibility and overall body strength."
Fitzgerald said he is already impressed with the work his players have put into the weight room and conditioning drills as they prepare for the Sept. 1 season opener vs. Ohio.
"They were good recruits out of high school and they work, work, work. My problem is holding them back sometimes in the weight room to be honest with you," Fitzgerald said. "But I'd say they're farther along than even we thought they'd be, but they're right where we want them to be, so we're excited."
With college class schedules, Fitzgerald and his other strength and conditioning staff block off certain amounts of time for groups of players with similiar schedules. Fitzgerald has the Nittany Lions working 4 days a week, 2 hours a day as per NCAA rules. And while the groups of players may be a handful of different positions - quarterbacks, running backs, offensive and defensive lineman - Fitzgerald and his staff have a routine in place to work specific position players.
"There's a lot of carry-over. One thing I don't want to do is make a different program just to make a different program," Fitzgerald said. "Some guys need different stuff, some older players who are already pretty strong need to work on flexibility and some of the younger guys need to lift a little bit more, spend more time in the weight room. So you kind of guage it to that, but there are some different drills that we do for different spots on the field."
Strength and conditioning coaches may not share the limelight that head coaches and coordinators always get. While fans may not view them as being the most important coaches, Fitzgerald knows how important strength and conditioning are for the players, but he also wants to make sure the program they're incorporating with the players works and produces the desired results on the field.
That's done by Fitzgerald through incorporating individual goals.
"At the end, we think testing's important. Lot of strength and conditioning (programs) don't test anymore. We tell them, here are your goals, we want you to meet them. I think it's a good lesson in life, also we want to see how the program worked," Fitzgerald said. "We want to be accountable for how we train the guys. We think it's an important job, that's why we do it."
Bill O'Brien's debut as Penn State head coach is Sept. 1 vs. Ohio in Beaver Stadium and the game will kick at noon and air on ESPN.
Following the Sept. 8 game at Virginia (noon on ABC), Penn State will host Navy on Sept. 15 for the first time since 1974. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. on ABC or ESPN2.
The Nittany Lions' Oct. 6 Homecoming game vs. Northwestern (12 p.m., TV TBD), Oct. 20 contest at Iowa (7 p.m. CT, BTN) and Oct. 27 home game with Ohio State (6 p.m., ESPN/2) had previously been announced.
Additional Penn State kick times will likely not be announced until the Big Ten's 6/12-day selection process begins with its TV partners, starting with the Sept. 22 game vs. Temple.

CEOs: The Most Beautiful People in the World?
Ahh, the rigor of the Ivory Tower: the data sets, the regression math…the facial analysis?
Duke University researchers, in connection with the National Bureau of Economic Research, have found that CEOs are perceived to have more competent faces than non-CEOs. The Duke researchers also concluded that people responded more favorably to the faces of CEOs from large companies than from small business.
Another interesting finding from the 20-page report: that "baby-faced" CEOs received lower "competence" scores than more-mature looking CEOs and tended to be paid less, though on the plus side, the baby facers got higher likability ratings.
And yet, "we find no evidence that the firms of competent looking CEOs perform better," the study concludes. Essentially, the 'look' of competence says very little about effective competence."
In fact, a 1995 study in "Personality & Social Psychology Bulletin," which was cited in the Duke study, showed that "baby faced" people, judged to be less competent, tend to be more intelligent.
The Duke study, which was published in March, asked students from Duke and University of North Carolina, to examine photographs about 1,500 CEOs. (To assure accuracy from a data set comprised of the N.C. antagonists, the researchers explained in a footnote, "The email to University of North Carolina students was sent from our nber.org email addresses to avoid any Duke/UNC rivalry effects and to maximize the response rate.")
So does any of this really matter? Well, yes. As superficial as it sounds, the research does hold up.
Physical appearance has been the subject of much academic research, such as a 1994 study in the American Economic Review that looked at the "beauty premium,'' which determined that workers of "above average" beauty earn more than worker with "below average" looks.
Other studies have asked people to look at the faces of political candidates, for a split second, while knowing nothing about the candidates' politics. The inference people make about whether a person looks confident often corresponds to whether that candidate gets elected.
Looks can be deceiving, but they still matter.

From Classroom to Playground: Why Recess Is More than Just "Free Time" for Kidsmarylweimer
Every day when my 9-year-old hops into the back seat, red-faced and breathless from hoisting an overstuffed backpack onto the floor, I ask him the same question: "Hey buddy, how was school?" And with almost as much regularity he responds the same way.
Does he give me an account of the discussion at the lunch table? Nope.
Tell me about his grade on a spelling test? Not even close.
He tells me— in sometimes excruciating detail— about his favorite part of the day: recess. What games they played. Who found the best hiding spot on the play structure. Which teacher reminded them when the play got too rambunctious (I feel her pain).
Without a doubt, recess is the highlight of my son's school life, and apparently the American Academy of Pediatrics understands that.
In a recent policy statement the AAP outlined why recess is a "necessary break in the day" adding that it "should be considered a child's personal time, and it should not be withheld for academic or punitive reasons." The authors also noted that the unstructured play that children engage in during recess has developmental benefits. These include improving classroom attentiveness, communication and social skills, and critical physical activity in a culture that's emphasizing it less and less.
I see these benefits first hand. I know that my son is better able to tackle his homework if I give him some time to decompress after school. Even a 30 minute break seems to recharge his batteries and enable him to focus. But more importantly, I recognize that the first "job" of all children should be play. It's how they make sense of the world and their place in it. It plays an important role in teaching them to navigate relationships and regulate their emotions, and lays the foundation for conflict resolution skills that will be so important as they get older.
At the same time, schools are grappling with big issues: keeping kids safe, inadequate teacher salaries, and low test scores among them. When it comes to priorities in education, it's easy to imagine that ensuring our kids get enough time on the playground as being low on the list.
Looking back on my own elementary school experience, though, some of my happiest memories took place on the playground. Those happy feelings transferred from the playground to the classroom.
I want that not only for my kids, but for all children. As schools grapple with complex issues, my hope is that recess continues to be regarded not only as "free time" but necessary time.

Opposition parties and NGOs have been extremely active during recent
Years in their criticism of Kyrgyzstan's President Akayev and his regime.
Many opposition leaders claim that their actions and mobilizing power were crucial for bringing about Kyrgyzstan's Yellow Revolution. Many experts in the Western world argue that it was aid from the United States and other Western countries that played the critical role in democratization process in Kyrgyzstan and ultimately led to these radical changes.
A distinguished panel of experts from Kyrgyzstan and the US will discuss the role of opposition groups, the NGO sector and international organizations in promoting democratic change in Kyrgyzstan and in facilitating the Revolution.
Moderator: Rafis Abazov, author of 'Historical Dictionary of Kyrgyzstan' and adjunct lecturer at the Harriman Institute.

The latest version of Adobe Flash Player is required to watch this video.
Please click on the link below to download the latest version. Thanks!
A young New Media company says if you need some daily inspiration, all you have to do is download it and take it with you.
iAmplifyFaith.com has faith-based audio and video product downloads targeted to adults, teens and children. Faith is just one category in the iAmplify.com lineup of digital downloads. The company's catalog includes fitness, self-help, sports and leisure products.
Founded almost four years ago by brothers Jack and Murray Hidary, iAmplify's company slogan "Amplify Your Life" is upbeat. Users can purchase a download from an online account anywhere anytime from any computer. The downloaded program can also be imported to an iPod or any other portable device. The program can also be burned to a CD or a DVD.
In an e-mail to CBN News, Murray Hidary, iAmplify's CEO, explained his company's business philosophy. "iAmplify is committed to amplifying the lives of our customers and the brands of our partners," he said. "We connect experts and content providers with their audiences on the web and unlike other online publishing platforms, iAmplify has developed tools to find the audiences as well."
Spreading the Good News
The company is now seeking to partner with ministries and churches under its iAmplifyFaith.com division. It is making its digital tools available to ministers and their congregations. Instead of using the time-consuming method of burning sermons to CD's and/or DVD's, according to the company, a church can use iAmplifyFaith.com's web service to deliver weekly sermons and other messages to its members and also to anyone anywhere around the world.
"For iAmplifyFaith and partners, the store player acts as an ambassador for the word of God online, said iAmplify's Senior Vice President Kipp Marcus. "The flash player is easily embedded on any Christian website, church website, or faith blog, providing free or paid downloads that will drive audiences to messages of hope and salvation. The store player can collect donations and tithes for churches and charity organizations, while revolutionizing the way the on-the-go Christian experiences their daily walk," he explained.
A member of a church using iAmplifyFaith.com could subscribe to the service, then their minister's sermon would be delivered to their computer or other portable device on a weekly basis. More importantly, sermons preached several years or even decades ago could also be used to inspire once again. iAmplifyFaith.com can maintain a sermon/message archive as well as other audio and video class material that could be accessed by users through a free or paid subscription.
Three Years in Development
But how is iAmplify.com's service different from all the rest? Marcus explained that after three years of development, his company has the technology to give the content owner complete control with tools that are extremely easy to use. "We provide a platform for the upload and sale of the content as well as the tools to find and grow your audience online, all for no fees upfront," he said. "We also share the information of the people who subscribe to our content partners so that they know who is purchasing the content as well."
Marcus said that some churches who have partnered with iAmplify.com use interns and volunteers to manage their content; it's that easy.
Also, the company does not charge religious organizations upfront for the use of their service.
"iAmplifyFaith strongly believes that sharing revenue, rather than charging an upfront fee like many other service provides, allows churches and pastors to enter into the digital age with little or no risk to the organization," Marcus continued. "We see it as an opportunity for them to fund new growth projects, missions and more with revenue created from their subscriptions and individual projects."
Only Positive Messages
The company says it is committed to bringing only positive messages. But when a user goes to the iAmplify.com Web site, one can't help but notice there is a Vegas category. CBN News asked Marcus if he thought that type of content would be a turn-off for some in the Christian community.
"At iAmplify, we have different channels of content," Marcus answered. "The content teaches people how to play Sudoku, how to knit, how to speak different languages, play sports, how to stop smoking, lower their cholesterol and yes, how to play poker. Poker is a game of skill, like chess or baseball; iAmplify.com does not advocate gambling," he explained. "We are interested in the cross-marketing of our Faith channel to our poker students and have been pleasantly surprised by the initial results. It's a one-way marketing opportunity. However, you will not see us market poker strategy to our faith-based audience."

AUBURN HILLS, MI- Chrysler Group LLC's third-quarter earnings were up 80 percent from a year ago to $381 million, officials reported today.
The Auburn Hills-based automaker reported earnings of $212 million during the same quarter a year ago.
"We continue to work feverishly and are pleased to see that our all-consuming aspiration for excellence is translating into results," said Chrysler Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne in a statement. "We are confirming guidance for the year, and expect Free Cash Flow to be well in excess of $1 billion."
Net revenue for the quarter was $15.5 billion, up 18 percent from $13.1 billion in the third quarter of 2011, primarily driven by a 19 percent period-over-period increase in shipments.
Worldwide vehicle sales for the third quarter totaled 556,000, up 12 percent from a year ago.
"We've changed the conversation at Chrysler Group," Marchionne said.
For the first nine months of the year, net income totaled $1.3 billion.
Chrysler is scheduled to host an analyst webcast and conference call Tuesday afternoon to discuss the third-quarter performance in more detail.
General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. are both expected to release their third quarter results by Nov. 1.

I don't feel comfortable recommending the higher load online. 5.0 is hot for this bullet and I'm going to add all the usual disclaimers, work up, make sure it is right for your gun, check for vigorously thrown brass, etc.
I also have some 700x data, but hardly anyone uses it...

I shot 170 or so of their 230 grain RN loaded with Clays to 170 pf Saturday with good results.
March 18, 2013, 11:42 PM
I have used their 200 FP & 230 RN. I Used 5.3 of BE with the RN & I do not recall what I used with the FP.They were OK,but I switched to lead because of cost.:)
March 18, 2013, 11:44 PM
Really appreciate it I have lots of 231 and unique
March 18, 2013, 11:52 PM
Use the 231. I use 231 under my Berry's 230 gr loads. Shoots great!
March 19, 2013, 01:47 AM
I have used just about every bullet they sell in all calibers. Much cleaner than swaged lead, and much better priced than jacketed. In thousands of rounds, never a single issue, and all the bullets have been very uniform in size and weight. As a result, I have completely switched over all handgun reloading operations to use their bullets.

"I could see him coming back as one of the boys," said Jeremy Piven during a party to celebrate the fifth season premiere of the HBO hit – held Wednesday at New York's Ziegfeld Theater. The new season starts Sunday.
And talk about swimming with sharks. Imaging how his own character – abrasive agent Ari Gold – would interact with the 23-year-old, real-life gold medalist, Piven, 43, said, "I can see Ari being very aggressive in recruiting him to represent him and also stopping at nothing to poach him from another client. That's what Ari would do."
Jerry Ferrera, who plays Turtle on the show, also likes the idea of Phelps coming back for more. "I'm lobbying to get him back next season so that I can be there," he said. "He could teach Turtle how to swim."
Doug Ellin, the show's creator and executive producer, said it was by chance that Phelps landed on Entourage at all. He happened to be walking by the set while a scene was shot in New York City. It took just minutes for Ellin to welcome him in.
Swimmer Stopped Traffic"It was the coolest thing in the world. When he showed up, I'm not exaggerating, city buses stopped and people started yelling and within five minutes we couldn't even shoot," said Ellin.
Phelps plays himself in his appearance and gives actor Kevin Connelly's character a hard time.
"He and I bump into each other on the side of the road, at a crosswalk on 57th and 7th. He bumps into me and looks at me like he's gonna beat me up," said Connelly. "It was great. We had actually taken a few takes of the scene, and then we decided we're gonna pop Michael Phelps into the shot."

World Bank Launches Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change Synthesis Report
3 August 2010: The World Bank has released the Synthesis Report of the study titled "The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change," which estimates the costs of adaptation between US$70-100 billion per year between now and 2050.
Among the lessons from seven case studies and a global study, the report highlights that eliminating poverty is central to both development and adaptation, since poverty exacerbates vulnerability to weather variability as well as climate change. It also recommends that governments do not rush into making long-lived investments in adaptation unless these are robust to a wide range of climate outcomes or until the range of uncertainty about future weather variability and climate has narrowed. The study argues that investments should start with low-regret options, with measures that tackle the weather risks that countries already face, such as increased investment in water storage in drought-prone basins or protection against storms and flooding in coastal zones and/or urban areas.
The study was funded by the Governments of the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the World Bank. [The Synthesis Report of the Study]

Political Commentary
Official Response to my Open Letter to PM
Last week the South China Morning Post published my Open Letter to the PM, and subsequently, a response from the Consul-General of Singapore in Hong Kong, Mr Jacky Foo. The Straits Times reported on Mr Foo's letter on 14 June, and published my reply to this report on the Forum page on 16 June. My reply is reproduced below.
Reply to Straits Times Report 14 June
14 June 2014
The Editor, Straits Times
With reference to the report in the Straits Times, 14 June ('Govt refutes author's claims over public trust') I wish to make the following comments.
I share Mr Foo's admiring acknowledgment of the many achievements of the PAP government, especially their skilful handling of global-size problems such as the financial crises of 1997 and 2008 and the SARS epidemic.
But I disagree with Mr Foo's argument that since the government has achieved so much, since it has won every election and finally, since it meets the Edelman Trust Barometer benchmark, it surely has the people's trust.
This depiction of the Singapore political situation fails to take into account its evolving dynamics, and omits unflattering facts such as the shocking General Election of 2011. Even though the PAP won, they must have been forced to admit that the people's trust had been seriously eroded, as shown by the startling post-election effusion of apologies from the Prime Minister and his colleagues, and their promise to 'listen more', 'communicate better', use the 'light footprint'.
Three years after GE 2011, the trust has not been regained. The best proof lies, not in the graffiti, the mass demonstrations or the raucous social media, but in the most unlikely place—within the PAP camp itself. Here there are voices urging the leaders to connect better with the ground, reflecting awareness that the problem has become serious enough to warrant attention at the highest levels.
Hence I would like to point out that the mistrust is very real, even if it only involves a minority. Its impact can be seen in the Roy Ngerng defamation case. Although, as Mr Foo has rightly pointed out, the Prime Minister has every right to sue, to protect his reputation, the alarming truth is that an angry crowd will choose emotionalism over rationality, and insist that the defamation suit is one more instance of PAP bullying.
Mr Foo commented on my long history as a complainer. I have been writing political commentaries for 20 years now. Their central theme is the need for a robust, trusting relationship between the government and the people, which, I strongly believe, is the only guarantee for a small country to survive in an increasingly perilous world.

Giving municipal property taxpayers all the relief they deserve needs to be a part of "the new normal."
Gov. Chris Christie's state budget proposal promises level property-tax relief funding to every municipality in New Jersey this year. That's good. But it is less than they are entitled to.
Last year, the state slashed more than $271 million from FY 2009's property-tax relief funding. And the two years before that saw cuts equaling $94 million.
Every year, the state collects revenues that are supposed to come back to the municipalities. These provide them with dollars that don't have to be raised through property taxes from their residents. Whenever the state decides not to deliver this funding for property tax-relief, local officials find it more and more difficult to keep property taxes down.
During its budget deliberations, we should all urge the Legislature to use the governor's proposal as a baseline. If actual state revenue receipts exceed current anticipation, the state should increase the distribution to the municipalities, as required by the statutes.
That is the League of Municipalities' priority for this year's state budget. But for the longer term, the state must end its reliance on local revenues to balance its budget.
Revenues meant to be used for property-tax relief must begin to be restored. We need a state commitment to that. And the League will work with the administration and the Legislature on a plan to wean the state off of its dependence on municipal money and to rededicate the dollars to municipal property-tax relief.

LINDEN — The Linden Police Department promoted nine officers to the rank of sergeant in an outdoor ceremony at the Raymond Bauer Promenade on North Wood Avenue on Aug. 27.
Mayor Richard J. Gerbounka and Police Chief James M. Schulhafer acknowledged several superior officers receiving new assignments in the Investigative Division and the promotion of Gail Horaneck to Parking Enforcement Supervisor in the Traffic Bureau.
Chief Schulhafer congratulated the men, who waited over a year for the list to be released by Civil Service. The delay in the results being released was due to a review by the Department of Justice to ensure that the test was administered fairly, according to the department.
The new sergeants took the oath of office in front of family, friends and fellow officers.
The department now has a full complement of supervisory officers, police said.

Sparks, NV - August 6, 2012 - Sierra Nevada Corporation's (SNC) Space Systems is proud to announce that SNC has once again successfully aided in a mission to Mars. The precision landing of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover on Monday, August 6, 2012 marks the 11th time SNC has provided critical hardware for spacecraft orbiting or landing on Mars.
SNC's descent brake mechanism was designed and built to control the speed of the tethered descent of the exploratory NASA rover to the surface of Mars prior to a gentle landing on the surface. During the now infamous "seven minutes of terror" approach and landing to Mars, the entire world, anxiously watched as MSL and all its systems including the descent brake performed exactly as anticipated and assisted in the successful landing using the novel sky-crane system. "We would like to offer our sincere congratulations to NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the whole MSL team for showing us all how the amazing gets done. It has been a program of a lifetime for us to be part of and we are very grateful to have been given the opportunity by NASA to be part of planetary exploration history." Said Mark Sirangelo, head of SNC Space Systems and corporate vice president of SNC.
In addition to safely lowering Curiosity, SNC also provided nine gear box assemblies in the Sample Handling System of Curiosity, controlling critical science instruments such as the drill used to cut samples from rock and the scoop that collects loose rock and soil samples. These experiments will lead to a significant advancement of our knowledge of Mars and will someday facilitate future exploration of the Red Planet.
To date, SNC has delivered and successfully operated more than 4,000 mechanisms on more than 400 spacecraft. Included are over 100 mechanisms for Mars missions such as Mars Exploration Rover (MER), Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), and Phoenix.

BOSTON - Gov. Deval L. Patrick Wednesday urged state legislators to stay in session beyond the official Saturday close at midnight if needed to complete work on a casinos bill and other key legislation.
Patrick's plea came as House and Senate leaders remained deadlocked on a compromise bill to legalize casinos.
"I hope it can get done by the end of the day on Saturday, when the session formally ends," Patrick told reporters. "But if it doesn't, then the Legislature needs to stay in session until it's done. If that means some additional days and extending the session, I'm calling on them to do just that."
After emerging from the office of the House speaker, Senate President Therese Murray told reporters that legislators will not meet beyond the Saturday session.
"We're working," Murray said. "We're trying to come to yes and a compromise and we're going to keep at it until we can somehow get to yes."
Rep. Brian S. Dempsey, a Haverhill Democrat who is the lead House negotiator on casinos, declined comment to reporters.
Both sides agree on adding casinos to the state's existing Lottery system. But House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, a Winthrop Democrat, supports two resort-style casinos and 750 slot machines at the state's four racetracks. Two of the tracks are in his district.
Murray, a Plymouth Democrat, favors three casinos, but no racetrack slots.
Late Wednesday afternoon as he stepped into an elevator outside his office, Patrick told reporters that legislators are still working on a compromise. Patrick didn't waver when told that legislators are rejecting his call to meet next month if needed.
"Well, then, there's a lot of explaining that has to be done to the people of the commonwealth," Patrick said. "We've got a lot of work to do."
Formal legislative sessions are set to expire at midnight on Saturday.
Sen. Steven C. Panagiotakos told reporters that legislators would need to agree in principle on a casino bill by 8 on Wednesday night in order to provide enough time for filing a bill on Friday night ahead of the final session on Saturday.
Other important bills that still await approval include overhauling a law that allows employers and others access to criminal records of job candidates, creating a sales tax holiday for Aug. 14 and 15, lowering health care costs for small businesses and streamlining regulations for construction of wind turbines.
Rep. Joseph F. Wagner, a Chicopee Democrat, said he was confident a compromise casino bill would be produced. Wagner said he didn't believe it was necessary to reach agreement by 8 on Wednesday night.
DeLeo is making it clear that he will not accept a casino bill without slot machines for the tracks, Wagner said.
"The speaker's has been very clear since day one," Wagner said while reporters waited outside DeLeo's office. "It's been unequivocal."
Sen. Stephen J. Buoniconti, a West Springfield Democrat, said he was hopeful a deal could be made on casinos.
Buoniconti said it is key for a bill to include three casino resorts to give Western Massachusetts a strong chance for a casino. He said he might vote against a bill with just two casinos. "That would leave Western Massachusetts out in the cold," he said.
Sen. Gale D. Candaras, a Wilbraham Democrat, said, "It ain't over until it's over. As long as they are negotiating, working and struggling to get it done, I'm still optimistic."
Candaras said casinos are critical for creating jobs in Western Massachusetts. The Mohegan Sun, a casino company in Connecticut, is planning a casino resort for Palmer off Exit 8 of the Massachusetts Turnpike and a development group is working on a proposal for a casino off Interstate 91 at the Wyckoff Park Country Club in Holyoke.

Good case, but could be better 03/24/2014
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-A76 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
1)Good amount of space.
2) Lots of 3.5in drive bays
3)All aluminum construction.
4)The monolithic look is very attractive.
1) Cable routing holes have rubber grommets that pop out really easily. Not a deal breaker, but kinda a pain.
2) 2.5in SSD drive mounting should have been thought out better. They mount flat on the drive cage. Can't use right angle cables. But, you can use motherboard standoffs in the mounting process. Screw the standoffs into the bottom of the drive, then screw in the vibration mounts, and then install. This gives you a little more height to accomodate the SATA data and power connectors.
3) The case is just a big too big. Not a big deal, but PSU mounts on the bottom and an ATX mobo mounted at the top, you might need PSU extension cables for everything to get connected.
Other Thoughts:
All in all, it's a BEAUTIFUL case! Monolithic styling. Makes for a great high-end build or for a file server.

Nikon D5300 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
13 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
With a small difference of $100 Nikon d7100 makes a better choice. The Nikon d5300 need a price drop to justify buying it. In the end you are buying a camera and it has to have significant changes between the Nikon d5200 which has almost the same specifications.
1.3 for the Coolpix S9300 all fix a bug that, in some rare cases, 000-454 examcollection prevented the camera from turning on, or prevented operation. Firmware version 1.1 for the Coolpix 000-454 S5200 and S6500 (pictured) additionally improve the functionality of the Wireless Camera Utility.
The sample video is out of focus.
At the beginning of the review, The reviewer states the D5100 as having 24Mpx, I think the reviewer meant the D5200
I just bought Nikon D7100. Love it!
However, I did a research of cameras 2months prior I decided on buying it and created a chart comparing to Nikon D7000,D5100,D5300 and Canon 70D. I must admit there are quite satisfying features for a beginner and it is cheaper too.
i must admit there are some better features
My Nikon D5300's video:
Owning a luxury car like Camaro is a dream for every car lover in the world. But due to budgetary restrictions, these dreams have always remained a distance reality for most of the people. However, by making a purchase from Magus Cars, one can enjoy the royal and exceptional experience of driving a multinational luxury car at the most affordable price. All the information about the car models along with their pictures is updated on the Magus Cars website for the convenience of customers.

For making the purchase easier for the customers, Magus Cars offers an instant loan approval within 24 hours. Further, customers can also avail high end after sale services ranging from warranties and specialist car insurance, repair, premier marquee services and customization from the Magus Cars outlets.
The Nikon D5300 is a worthy upgrade from the D5200, only if you are a Sharpness and Detail fanatic like I am. Due to the absence of an AA (OLPF) filter, plus the newer Expeed 4 engine, images from the D5300 (with good Nikkor optics) are incredibly sharp! The body is light and sturdy, thanks to a new one-piece construction. Handling is fairly quick as well, though one does need to access the menu system for functions like ISO and AF modes. With quality lenses like the 35mm f/1.8 Nikkor, and the 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Nikkor, to name a few of many options, it makes for a relatively light and versatile travel kit! Thank you.
D5300 has the same old DSLR design but it has features then any DSLR camera may exhibits. It consists of Wi-Fi, GPS, stellar video quality and control, an AA-less 24-megapixel APS-C sensor, and the traditional comfort of an optical viewfinder. Optical finder is best in shooting live view. It is smaller, though — at 125 x 98 x 76mm it's a surprisingly compact full-size DSLR, although the 480g weight without battery is solid but not notably heavy nor light.
i bought a D5300 2 months ago and i have to say it is an exseptional camera for the money, i am very pleased with the sharp colourful pictures it produces, i had a D3100 before this camera and found it had a habit of blowing out the highlights a lot, the D5300 does not have this nasty habit and the pictures are of a much superior quality, i have started shooting in the raw format and processing them with the supplied nikon view nx2 software, it also is very easy to use although a bit limited. overall i am very very happy with this camera
I purchased the D5300 7 months ago. My 4'th Nikon DSLR. This camera is so good that I do not dream of going full frame any more. The money/fun ratio doesn't justify that. I'm not a pro but an photo entusiast for 60 years +. I tried the NX2 software. Don't like it. I have 3 cameras taking RAW files. The free software Raw Therapee is nothing less than amazing!!!! You'll have to spend some hours reading the manual and using the programme. To my opinion no free software comes even close to RT and it is a full match to Elements and other software you have to pay for.
This camera is made in where !?
Hi all, I'm kris from the island of Mauritius. Living on an Island is no easy life everything especially technology is almost twice the price here, for instance the price of a Nikon D5300 is doubled instantly compared to your area. The Nikon D5300 is to me the best for people who wants to discover the magic of photography. Right now the latest in the 5000 range is the D5500 but I'm used it and it is no big deal to upgrade to the latest model. The 5300 packs all the technology of the latest one and it is not worthy to worthy to buy the D5500 as they are both pack with same tech but D5500 ask for a higher price, so why pay more when they both perform the same? The body is almost identical, but a photographer knows it's better to invest on a lens as the sharper the lens the better the picture will be. My point is opting for the D5300 will save you a handful of money from buying the D5500, that saving may get you a decent zoom lens which will be to great use compared to the weak kit lens (18-55mm).

If you don't know, now you know (link).
The greatest video game of all time is making it's return to the "Wii" variety of Nintendo gaming systems. NBA JAM is back, baby!!!!
"Heeeeeeeeeeeee's heating up!!"
"Heeeeeee's on FIRE!!!"
Without NBA JAM, these phrases would not be part of our everyday lives. How else would I be able to display my excitement at the grocery store? "Buy one, get one on Tostitos Queso!?!? BOOOOOM Shaka Laka!!!"
If you never played NBA Jam for SuperNES, I want you to discontinue your subscription of Steve-Is-Alive. Seriously, you can keep your $97.95.
Side note: You can credit Clifford The Big Red Dog, wiffleball, Highlights Magazine, and NBA Jam for shaping me into the mature grown man I am today.
The re-release of NBA Jam has got me all gitty inside and has made me start to budget my coins for a Wii system. And yes, this is exactly what the geniuses at Nintendo want to hear. Bringing back such games as Tyson's Punch Out, Super Mario, and now, NBA Jam will only bring super nerds who had no friends in the 90's (like myself), back to the Nintendo world. I acknowledge this and will abide by Nintendo's wishes just like the drooling troll that I am. As soon as the piggy bank is full.....off to Best Buy, I go.
And let the record show, even with updated rosters of today's players like LeBron, Kobe, and Dwyane Wade......no team, and I mean NO TEAM will be better than the original Houston Rockets squad of Hakeem Olajuwon and Vernon Maxwell. What do I base that on, you ask?!? How about my ten year dominance over my brother Eric and any and all challengers..... with only THAT Houston Rockets team.
Olajuwon would work the post on offense and defense - no shot would get past him. V.Max would set up in the corners and drain three's in your face. It's a winning combination that can't be beat. It's science really.
If there is a way to have The Dream and Maxwell face LeBron and Shaq (or Kobe and Gasol), I'll put money on a Houston Rockets victory. Mark it down.
So, when this game graces video game stores with its presence, be sure to give me a call, order some pizza and come on over - the door will be open. We got ourselves a daily activity that will make our girlfriends seek new prospects!
I'm so excited, I want to break something.......
