New to site, could use some help understanding using fitday log.
Hey everyone I'm new here and got a couple questions in regards to using fitday log.
I don't quite understand using net calories and calorie deficit.
I'm an amateur muay thai fighter so I train 4-5x a week 2x day 1hr -2hrs each session. I also teach muay thai and do security as my part time job, so being active and walking alot also adds to my training regime.
I'm 5'2'' 7-8% body fat and weigh 123lbs.
Now I'd like to get to 120lbs and I've tried the fitday log and it says my body alone burns around 2250 calories.
Now with training I can burn up to 3000 calories plus I do my morning sessions on empty stomach as my own morning routine. So I guess on a given day I can burn anywhere from 3000-5000 calories.
I've logged in my stuff and im always on the negative in terms of net calories, and it says I should restrict my calories to around 1700 if I want to make 120lbs?
Does that mean I need to eat 1700 calories each day or does that mean I need to cut out 1700 calories meaning 1700- 2250 calories (days I don't train)
and 1700-5000 calories (days i train and work)?
kind regards

> Resistance genetics.
It is currently legal to import US queens into Canada. Why would you need to import packages simply to get US "resistance genetics" when importing queens is already legal?
The push to import US packages to Canada is from an economic impetus, not a genetic diversity issue.

My father became ill this past spring, and there were endless trips to my hometown to help out, as well as hospital visits; health, financial, and legal concerns, and then later the funeral and estate matters. There will be issues to contend with for a while, but the major stress is over. I do not think I could have kept what is left of my sanity if it weren't for my trellis of green beans, the only thing I managed to plant before tragedy struck.
Those green beans grew to ridiculous proportions despite neglect. Sporadically tending them gave me time by myself to think and work out frustrations, mild exercise, sunshine, fresh air, and self-satisfaction. I could not have done much more than I did. My typical garden plantings would have wasted away and left me feeling more overwhelmed, grieved, and depressed.
I started walking two miles once a day with a neighbor throughout our rural area, as the weather permitted. That gave me more exercise, fresh air, sunshine, and helped me sleep better. Although the intent of walking was to become healthier physically, and the gardening was primarily for food and pleasure, I did not realize how emotionally important they were until later.
I ran across an article recently that discussed vitamin 'G' and its importance to our mental and physical health. It is a philosophy based on science that we need to be in contact with the elements of nature to be completely healthy. (The term has also been used to describe vitamin B2 or riboflavin.) [1]I think of Vitamin 'G' as Grounding (touching the Earth), Geology, Gravity, Gardening, or Green Spaces. Science has proved that contact with Aristotle's four classic elements do help relieve or eliminate both mental and physical diseases. Walking barefoot on the earth, and working the soil with our hands (gardening), imparts more than just a good feeling in our hearts. Science has proved that there is a beneficial bacterium (Mycobacterium vaccae) in the soil that helps activate serotonin in the brain. It can help reduce symptoms of several diseases and disorders, including depression. [2] The rays of the sun give our bodies more vitamin D than any supplement or food we could ingest, which helps with depression and insomnia, and a long list of other diseases. [3] [4] Not just any air, but clean fresh air, can breathe life back into our bodies and brains. A drive out of a smoggy city into the rural communities, a stroll in a plant-filled park, or a moderate hike through a wildlife sanctuary, can give one a sense of rejuvenation. This serves to elevate our mood and gives our body a bit more energy. [5] A bath, drinking plenty of water, and various forms of hydrotherapy, are all considered helpful, and possibly necessary, in relieving physical pain, stress, and depression. We all know that soaking in a warm tub can relax muscle tightness, thereby relieving some of our stress. It also hydrates and washes away toxins from our skin (excreted from our bodies). Drinking water also hydrates and flushes toxins from inside our bodies. Hydrotherapy is a timeless naturopathic method of healing a long list of ailments, including depression, with water in its many forms: liquid (cold or warm), steam, and ice. Health-related Internet sites are full of information about the benefits of water to the body.
EXERCISE: It is a well-known fact that physical activity helps lower stress. [6] [7] It makes sense that if exercise is done outdoors, the elements can work to repair and regenerate our bodies all at once.
Doctors in the UK and many other countries prescribe farm-type work as a cure for mental illnesses and recuperation from physical ailments. [8] Gardening combines all the classic elements plus exercise to help us stay mentally and physically healthy, most especially in times of stress with depressing circumstances. It gives us time to be alone with our thoughts if needed, to find perspective, to grieve our way, and the self-satisfaction needed by some to feel whole.
Please do consider gardening through grief!
This article is based on my personal experience and research and not meant to be medical advice for everyone. We each grieve in our own way and some of us have preexisting conditions that need special considerations during stressful times. I deliberately chose not to delve into the vast religious, spiritual, and philosophical support systems that many of us depend on in times of stress. Instead, I chose to bring attention to the simple, and often overlooked natural methods that may help you or someone you care about deal with the tragedies of life and of death.

One of the apps is great for pranking my teenage son - it's the Directv app. My husband can change the channel with this app and not touch the remote. The Teen thinks there is something wrong with the TV. It cracks us up!
This app is great for our marriage, too - hubby can channel surf to his heart's delight and let me watch tv in peace. Drove me crazy when he channel-surfed with the remote. He'd always put the tv on the channel menu and then leave the room.

Hi, how to get this loyalty point? I don't see my point when do checkout. Please advise?
Im excited to use this wonderful products!
My wife was about to use her standard chartered credit card issued here in Bahrain, to pay her purchases, but it won't go through. It says, we can not use the card for Philippine purchases. We are about to order 50 pieces TL soap, premium. Any other methods of ordering? We don't have a paypal.
Do you consider my request # 22 014
Hi I can't wait to use TLS .I heard I lot of great feedbacks.. Will surely purchase again.
I started using the tokyo love soap n i love it
Just got my TLS after 2 weeks placed my order. I will continue purchasing TLS and really hope that I will receive my order sooner than before.
yey, placed my order last tues, got them by fri!! so happy!
just placed my order!! super excited!
I started using products from tokyoloveshop starting end of last year. I tried the try all pack soap, snail cream, stem cell and renotic acid and the gold mask. I must say that the whitening effect is visible. I used to do facial once a month or two. But now facial is not a must. The product is really amazing! The renotic acid really dries up pimples fast & stem cell revive skins. I am alittle sensitive to the snail cream though- Can feel hot sizzling feeling when applied on hence I reduce the use of it, Overall, I really love the products here. Hoping they will have products for dark eye rings as well. Not forgetting the soaps too- Premium & pure gals are the best to me. The original is alittle mild to me. I have not use the medical one yet.
I am so happy, I just received my TLS products
I placed an order last Feb. 19… Can't wait for my order & I'm excited to use TLS products.. Hope it will works
Hello I place an order on Jan 31, 2015. I ordered 5 products. How do I get my free item? I would like the snail slime product as the free item. Thanks
Hi. Howlong will it take to receive the paid item here in saudi arabia? Thanks
I placed an order last Nov 2nd, butI didn't get any points…
I don't see my points remitted in my cart.
got my order yesterday.. I hope it works on my skin.. Thanks for the fast delivery.. ^_^
Just want to ask if you already stopped your points program? i still have unused points but i don't know how to use them. I also didn't earn point on mylast purchase. hope you can clear this.
I bought Tokyo Love Soap Premium last year. Even thought were expensive but the effect satisfied by me. I stopped for a few months. Recently my niece told me my face getting dull. She said previously the soap you used before was good. So I decided to purchase 2nd time to reduce my pigmentation and make my skin more fairer.
Hi I was under the old system but have not received my 2 free bar can you let me know if I. Am still getting them.
I'm a new costumer and I'm very excited to get the products! I purchased 10 items before I registered here. I was wondering If I can still get points for my purchase? Thank you!
So how can i use my loyalty points now? Some points ae not seen on my accnt., please ckecked.
Actually when there's a discount there doesn't seem to be rewards or points deduction. They do inform this in the order page. Plus I've place more than 6 orders n ms yumi is very prompt in her replies. My Feds don't hv any bad reviews of her either!! Pls do understand more abt TLS before you start slandering them. They hv a few warehouses so that's the point of dispatch.
Just ordered two days ago!, let's see how it works!! 🙂
Im very disapointed because until now no points appeared to my account.. you should remove this post of earning loyalty reward points if you will not really apply the points to our accounts. I spent $149.50 purchased last month and give positive feedback on each product I purchased.. but NO REWARD POINTS reflected to my account. You should protect your website/store credibility if you want to be patronized by customers. Don't post ads which you cannot stand for it. Just a friendly advise.. Im still hoping you will still give us the reward points (on purchased and reviews) to our account. Thank You and GodBless
please check your spam folders. take note that you will receive 2 confirmation email upon purchase. from us and from paypal. best regards and thank you
hi! i ordered earlier but no points were reflected. i've tried doing a new dummy order after my transaction was successfully processed to see if the points will appear, but it did not. kindly check and verify. thanks!
hi just wondering how to earn points as i made purchase last dec but upon checking now i cannot see points as stated that every $1 spend entitlement for loyalty points.
Crispila-cant wait to use it!
I just bought online now cant wait to deliver my soap
Hi there
I purchased tlc 2 mos ago and started using it right away once I got my tlc.
Almost 2 mos of using it don't have any effect in my skin. I'm using it twice
Morning and night shower to hold on my faith that it will work in my skin.
Ok give up as the website said we/customer have 60 days to file for
Full refund if not satisfied in their product. Few inquiry they promptly
Reply and asking for a proof she said they need it for documentation.
I send some pictures explanations then I received nothing even reply
What is the status of my request totally they ignore my messages. So this
Is how they treated a client. Why would I spend extra dollars for expensive
soap total waste. Well if you're not convince enough I can send you copy
emails how they ignore my messages.
Received my orders alrrady. Very fast transaction. Thank you.
Cant wait for my order! Reading these comment makes mo more excited to use it and see the result.
Ordered today. Can't wait. 🙂
Just placed my order can't wait to try it
loving the ultimate soap so far.. keeps my skin soft and smooth
I'm using tls professional for 1 week now. Though i haven't seen any whitening effect yet my skin became smoother and my pores became smaller. It's also good coz i have eczema and it doesn't have adverse effect. I'll be trying other variants once my professional is finished
I just ordered my first tls premium 3 days ago and i can't wait for it to arrive.. I am very excited specially reading all this good comments. Hope it'll work on me too..!
Products are very effective
Fast shipping and great customer service.
Got my orders today! It was super fast! And thanks for the free shipping! I cant wait to try all the variants i got! (Ultimate and premium tls soap)
My friend introduced me to this promising product since it makes her skin appear lighter and smooth, the next thing i knew, i'm ordering some to try for myself! 🙂 excited to receive my order and eventually post my testimonial!^^
Super effective! Will recommend to others!
After 2 weeks of using the original, got jealous of my friends using the ultimate variant, so i started using ultimate too. Micropeeling started as early as the first two days of use. After a couple of days of dry feel in my face, it started to glow, smoothen and whiten all at the same time. Im one happy client
Love how the original soap minimizes pores and makes it glow without the oily feel. It does not whiten though as fast as ultimate does
i purchased the tokyo love soap girls and keu whitening cream last aug 18 and received it on sep 04…started using the product and fell in love right a way!!! saw the result on day 1 on the soap and the cream is great!!! i use the keu cream on my underarm and was surprised it worked better than deodarnt, my armpit smells good all day and whitens it! will buy more of these products :))
I am amazed on the reviews of Tokyo Love soaps. Then I ended up on this website and I just bought a lot. 😀
It was my first time to use tls original. I'm one satisfied customer 🙂
cant wait for my products to arrive! will be posting updates soon!
I am making the first purchase of TLS products. I am really interested in it. The function of the soap is really suitable for my needs. Hope that it can really work. XD
Where are the items for redeeming by using the points we've earned?
I couldn't find it on the website, please give directions.
It was my first time to visit your site and Your products really amazed me, so I ended up buying a lot! just hoping Your products will deliver its promise, can't wait to receive my items, hope it will arrive soon!
i have tried the ulmimate variant of the tl soap, so happy with the result that i ordered the creams too. shipping is fast! thanks tokyo loveshop, cant wait for my new orders!
It really whitens and gives glow and radiance to your skin. Love the smell and creamy lather to my body. Perfect! Will buy more soon. 🙂
i've used the points that i earned from my previous purchase and so i am one happy bunny 😛
hi, i want to make a review for the different variances of this soap.. may I request for free samples? thanks!
soo excited to use TL soaps! my first time to buy products from this site.:)
so excited to use TLS
I already tried the original bought from other online shop here in our place but it seems the effect is very minimal, then I got to visit and had chance to read some reviews of ultimate. With my curiosity I ordered some.. Thanks 🙂
Excited to use TLC! 🙂
Hello do you have TLS girls in sachet or not in a box?:)
Excited to use TLS. 🙂 i'm planning to buy RA cream next!

|Scanning the Potential Energy Surface for Synthesis of Dendrimer-Wrapped Gold Clusters: Design Rules for True Single-Molecule Nanostructures.
|Damien Thompson, Jens P. Hermes, Aidan J. Quinn, and Marcel Mayor., 2012
|The formation of true single-molecule complexes between organic ligands and nanoparticles is challenging and requires careful design of molecules with size, shape, and chemical properties tailored for the specific nanoparticle. Here we use computer simulations to describe the atomic-scale structure, dynamics, and energetics of ligand-mediated synthesis and interlinking of 1 nm gold clusters. The models help explain recent experimental results and provide insight into how multidentate thioether dendrimers can be employed for synthesis of true single-ligand–nanoparticle complexes and also nanoparticle–molecule–nanoparticle "dumbbell" nanostructures. Electronic structure calculations reveal the individually weak thioether–gold bonds (325 ± 36 meV), which act collectively through the multivalent (multisite) anchoring to stabilize the ligand–nanoparticle complex (7 eV total binding energy) and offset the conformational and solvation penalties involved in this "wrapping" process. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the dendrimer is sufficiently flexible to tolerate the strained conformations and desolvation penalties involved in fully wrapping the particle, quantifying the subtle balance between covalent anchoring and noncovalent wrapping in the assembly of ligand–nanoparticle complexes. The computed preference for binding of a single dendrimer to the cluster reveals the prohibitively high dendrimer desolvation barrier (1.5 ± 0.5 eV) to form the alternative double-dendrimer structure. Finally, the models show formation of an additional electron transfer channel between nitrogen and gold for ligands with a central pyridine unit, which gives a stiff binding orientation and explains the recently measured larger interparticle distances for particles synthesized and interlinked using linear ligands with a central pyridine rather than a benzene moiety. The findings stress the importance of organic–inorganic interactions, the control of which is central to the rational engineering and eventual large-scale production of functional building blocks for nano(bio)electronics.

Postmarketing Studies Subject to Reporting Requirements of 21 CFR 601.70
Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) (21 U.S.C. 355c), all applications for new active ingredients, new indications, new dosage forms, new dosing regimens, or new routes of administration are required to contain an assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the product for the claimed indication(s) in pediatric patients unless this requirement is waived, deferred, or inapplicable.
We are waiving the pediatric study requirement for ages 0 to < 6 months because this product does not represent a meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing therapies for pediatric patients and is not likely to be used in a substantial number of infants < 6 months of age. Available data indicate that serum antibody responses to inactivated influenza vaccines in infants < 6 months of age are not as robust as in older children due to inherent immaturity of the immune system and interference from maternal antibody.
We are deferring submission of your pediatric studies for ages 6 months to 35 months for this application because the product is ready for approval in persons 3 years of age and older and pediatric studies in ages 6 months to 35 months have not been completed.
Your deferred pediatric studies required under 505B(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act are required postmarketing studies. The status of these postmarketing studies must be reported according to 21 CFR 601.70 and section 505B(a)(3)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. These required studies are listed below:
1. Deferred pediatric study D-QIV-004 under PREA for active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by influenza A subtype viruses and type B viruses contained in Fluarix® Quadrivalent, in pediatric patients ages 6 months to 35 months of age. The final protocol has been reviewed by CBER and this study is currently ongoing.
Study Completion Date: October 2013
Final Report Submission: March 2014
Please submit the final study report to this BLA.
We acknowledge your written commitment as described in your letter of December 10, 2012, as outlined below:
2. To establish a pregnancy registry to prospectively collect data on spontaneously-reported exposures to Fluarix® Quadrivalent during pregnancy. A protocol for this pregnancy registry will be submitted by April 30, 2013. The pregnancy registry will be established by August 30, 2013 and annual reports will be submitted with the periodic safety update reports (PSURs) for Fluarix® Quadrivalent. When the registry has collected data on the outcomes specified in the protocol for five years, GSK will submit a full study report 18 months from submission of the fifth annual PSUR. After submission of the registry report, GSK will continue enrolling in the registry pending CBER review of the report and determination that the registry can be discontinued.
Please submit clinical protocols to your IND, with a cross-reference letter to this BLA, STN BL 125127. Submit all study final reports to your BLA, STN BL 125127. If the information in the final study report supports a change in the labeling, the final study report should be submitted as a supplement. We may also request a supplement if we think labeling changes are needed. Please use the following designators to label prominently all submissions, including supplements, relating to these postmarketing study commitments as appropriate:

2013 Fantasy Basketball Draft Prep: Busts
Now is the time for brutal honesty. Our Chris Towers tells which players are destined for a downgrade this season in his busts column.
Determining who might take the next step in their development in the upcoming season is one of the easier parts of this job. Sure, it's an imperfect science that can make you look foolish, but at least you get to be positive. And that's nice, right?
Well, this isn't the time for being nice. Having already taken a look at our favorite sleepers and breakout candidates, now is the time to look at the other end of the spectrum.
Projecting who might fail to live up to expectations is a bit harder than the alternative -- basketball tends to be a sport of consistency. There aren't quite as many unknown commodities, so it's more about projecting whose role might leave them on the outside looking in for Fantasy purposes.
This list is by no means an indictment on these players. This entire list could easily end up being among the 100 most valuable Fantasy options this season and still fit here. Here are 10 players I think could underperform their draft position this season.
Jrue Holiday , G, Pelicans
Holiday enjoyed a true breakout performance last season, taking advantage of a shallow Sixers roster to average 17.7 points and 8.0 assists. The Pelicans were so enamored with his All-Star season they traded a pair of first-round picks in order to acquire him this season, which is where the trouble starts for Holiday, from a Fantasy perspective.
The Pelicans are battling their way back to relevance this season, and they are planning to do so on the backs of a trio of well-compensated guards. Along with Holiday, the team signed Tyreke Evans to join Eric Gordon in the backcourt. This creates something of a glut for playing time, especially since all three thrive with the ball in their hands.
Holiday's shooting percentage has fallen in three straight seasons as his usage has increased. That trend should turn around with more help in New Orleans, but it should coincide with a reduction in his per-game and counting stats.
As a No. 2 guard, Holiday should be a fine Fantasy option. Expecting a repeat of last season could lead to disappointment, however.
J.R. Smith , G, Knicks
Just a few months after signing his $17.9 million contract, it came out that Smith waited until after he got his deal to undergo knee surgery that will likely cost him at least a few weeks this season. Fairly or unfairly, that story has created a perception of Smith that he cares more about his financial state than contributing on the court.
I fall on the side that says that criticism is unfair, and it doesn't really color my perception of his Fantasy value. His placement here isn't wholly unrelated, however; coming off knee surgery, Smith is an obvious risk to take a step back this season.
Already, Fantasy owners who could consider targeting Smith on Draft Day have to contend with the lost playing time from his recovery as well as his five-game suspension whenever he is ready to return. With a potentially deeper Knicks team around him, and the improving Iman Shumpert pushing for a starting spot and possible playing time. Smith could be a headache this season that isn't worth the trouble.
Goran Dragic , G, Suns
I like Goran Dragic . Just to get that out of the way, I think he's a really good player who has been a solid Fantasy option pretty much whenever he's been given the chance. And I do think he will be good this season.
This season, however, there is enough uncertainty surrounding him to knock him down a few pegs on my draft board. The acquisition of Eric Bledsoe this offseason gives the Suns another ballhandler and distributor in the backcourt, and though the team has maintained they plan on sharing point guard duties, this wouldn't be the first time Dragic has been pushed to the margins while sharing a backcourt.
At the very least, Dragic should go from being the team's lone creator on the perimeter to one of at least two, which can only cut into his chances. Considering the depth at the guard position, I would rather temper expectations and target Dragic as a third guard this season.
Greivis Vasquez , G, Kings
This one is almost upsetting. Vasquez has worked hard to become a decent NBA point guard, only to have the Pelicans' acquisition of Holiday cost him his spot.
Now, he is battling Isaiah Thomas for playing time in Sacramento. And while the Kings' coaching staffs of the past have searched for reasons not to play Thomas, we simply do not know how the timeshare will go at the point guard spot this season. Thomas and Vasquez are both capable of running an offense and being productive, which could lead to both of them taking a step back for Fantasy purposes.
Coming off a 13.9-point, 9.0-assist season, Vasquez has a further distance to fall. He won't be relegated to a pure backup role, but the team's glut of options likely means he could struggle to get up to full-time minutes. Assists are awfully hard to come by, and Vasquez can bring them in big volumes, so he'll always have some value. Counting on him as a starting Fantasy option could leave you wanting, however.
David Lee , F, Warriors
Lee has long been a consistent, reliable source of points and rebounds, without much else for Fantasy owners. And his lack of defensive acumen has been a problem for a Warriors team that has been trying to grow into a contender. Those two concerns could dovetail into a disappointing campaign for Lee in 2013-14.
The Warriors found a new identity in the playoffs by spreading the ball and launching even more threes than ever before. And, though there is little sign that coach Mark Jackson plans to adopt that for a full season, we now know a small-ball lineup sits in his back pocket if the team gets off to a slow start. Lee's playing time could be a casualty in that scenario.
Each of Lee's last two seasons have ended with surgery, which could also be a motivating factor in limiting his playing time this season. The Warriors are already struggling to find playing time for their bevy of talented wings, and sliding promising sophomore Harrison Barnes in at power forward for 10-15 minutes a game is an option to keep Lee fresh. A nightly double-double threat for years, Golden State's makeup could lead to a disappointing results for Lee.
Zach Randolph , F, Grizzlies
Though he still gobbles up rebounds (or Z-bounds, if you prefer), Randolph's production continues to fall off as he continues into his 30's. Though the falloff hasn't be precipitous, it is enough to make Fantasy owners take pause.
Last season, Randolph arguably fell to third on the team's hierarchy to Mike Conley and Pau Gasol , and that should continue this year. Especially with quality backup big men ready and willing to spell him throughout the long grind of the regular season. Randolph is nearing career-low rates for fouls drawn per 36 minutes, and his efficiency has fallen off in recent years -- he shot just 46.0 percent from the field in 2012-13, his lowest mark since 2007-08.
An additional concern is the Grizzlies' precarious cap situation, and management's known willingness to swing a big trade unexpectedly. It would not be a total shock to see Randolph moved this season, casting another question mark on his status. Randolph has fallen from nearly 20 points per-36 minutes to around 16 the last two seasons, and another dip wouldn't be surprising at all.
Tristan Thompson , F, Cavaliers
Poor Tristan Thompson . The much-maligned No. 4 overall pick from two years ago showed more than enough growth in his second season to easily be considered a breakout candidate this season. If only a few personnel moves had gone his way this offseason.
With two recent top-5 picks invested in their backcourt of the future, the Cavs made upgrading the frontcourt a priority this season, arguably at the expense of Thompson's development as a building block. The acquisition of Andrew Bynum and drafting of top pick Anthony Bennett further muddies a front court that already features Thompson, Anderson Varejao and Tyler Zeller , another recent first-round pick.
Working in Thompson's favor is his durability within a crew that has been sadly unable to avoid injuries in recent years. Unfortunately, we have to at least consider the possibility that everyone will be healthy for stretches, which will drop Thompson to third on the pecking order, at least.
Thompson did not truly begin to blossom until Varejao went down last season with an injury. Though that is certainly a possibility again this season, uncertainty surrounding his place on the team is enough to make Thompson a risky selection.
JJ Hickson , F, Nuggets
Last season, the Trail Blazers almost begrudgingly accepted Hickson as the team's starting center in a mostly lost year. He put up solid numbers and played nearly 30 minutes per game, mostly because there was no other option.
Tellingly, the Blazers never seriously considered the possibility of bringing Hickson back as a free agent, despite his averages of 12.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Also possibly tellingly, a team that allowed Masai Ujiri and George Karl to leave following a 57-win season was the one to bite on Hickson's empty production.
The Nuggets are clearly moving forward with JaVale McGee at center, and the presence of Kenneth Faried and Darrell Arthur opens up plenty of questions about where and when Hickson is actually going to find playing time. On a team with playoff hopes despite a tumultuous offseason, Hickson is unlikely to find a full-time role.
Andre Drummond , C, Pistons
I'm fully willing to accept that I am opening myself up to ridicule and derision with this one. Drummond is a tremendous talent who looked incredible in his rookie season, despite playing a limited role. So why am I including nearly everyone's favorite breakout candidate on this list?
I'm definitely expecting Drummond to build on his productive rookie season, when he averaged 13.8 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per-36 minutes. Unfortunately, I'm just not convinced he's going to see a huge uptick in playing time in his second season in the league.
Drummond should be a per-minute terror once again this season, but the continued presence of Greg Monroe and the acquisition of Josh Smith could leave a playing time crunch for the Pistons front court. Though they should start with all three big men on the floor together, it is no secret that Smith's best position is power forward. That will leave a delicate balancing act for Detroit coach Maurice Cheeks, because Smith and Monroe could be the team's best balance of offense and defense while Drummond continues to develop.
Then there is the free-throw shooting, which is kindly defined as abysmal; Drummond shot just 37.1 percent last season, actually an improvement on his 29.5 percent mark in college. Factor in that only five players have averaged 25-plus minutes per game while shooting below 40 percent from the free-throw line since Wilt Chamberlain in 1967-68, and you see how Drummond is facing an uphill battle for playing time.
His upside is considerable, and more than enough to make Drummond worth drafting. But right now, he's going 13th among centers in CBSSports.com leagues, which is an easy sign that he is overvalued right now. If he gets his free throw percentage up just to the 50-percent range, all bets are off. Until I see it, I am willing to hedge against it.
Kevin Garnett , C, Nets
Garnett still figures to be a big part of the Nets' team this season, but there are plenty of troubling signs from a Fantasy perspective. Though he still averaged 14.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game a year ago, Garnett might be a risk even as a No. 2 center this season.
The Nets have already floated the possibility of resting Garnett on back-to-backs, a sure sign they are concerned about his minutes. With a deep, veteran roster around, limiting Garnett as much as possible is probably the best move for a team that has their eyes set on a deep playoff run. And Garnett has missed at least 10 games in five of the last six seasons, so we probably have to pencil him in for at least that much this time around.
Even if we could count on Garnett for 30-plus minutes 80 times this season, it would be hard to expect much from him for Fantasy purposes. He is likely to be the fifth option offensively in the team's starting lineup, and is mostly a pick-and-pop jump shooter at this point in his career. It wouldn't be inconceivable for Garnett to attempt fewer than 10 field goals per game for the first time since he was a rookie in 1995-96.
Garnett could still be a useful Fantasy option, to be certain. At this point in his career, and on this team, however, he should be considered a specialist. He is a luxury on any Fantasy roster, but is not to be relied upon to heavily.

Since we've already had a glimpse of the main categories of Yiddish food, today we'll look at everything you need for a balanced meal: vegetable, grains, main courses, a few uniquely Yiddish side dishes and something to wash it all down with.
potatotoMAT/ pomiDOR
For reasons that remain obscure, Yiddish hasn't seen fit to develop many idioms or turns of phrase involving fruit. With the exception of such clichés as
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
which you might as well just say in English, fruit doesn't come out of Yiddish-speaking mouths with anything approaching the frequency with which it goes in.
Vegetables, on the other hand, are well-represented idiomatically, and the ones named above figure in some highly useful phrases:
ZOLST VAKSN VEE A MAIR/TSIbeleh, MITN KOP IN DR'ERD
You should grow like a carrot/onion, with your head in the ground.S'IZ NISHT VERT KA' TSIbeleh

Red as a beet (tsvik = boorik)HEFker Petreshkeh.
There's nothing that you (or they) can't get away with [lit., "ownerless parsley"]
As for the kroyt, or cabbage, it should never be forgotten that old country yokels used to cover their heads with cabbage leaves when there were no yarmulkes to hand.
Baked Goods and Their Toppings
honey cake (to some Yiddish-speakers)LAIkakh
sponge cake (to other Yiddish-speakers)KEEKHL
cream cheeseLAKS
If someone offers you laikakh and presents you with honey cake, announce that you'd been expecting sponge; if sponge appears, it's honey that you wanted. A sigh, a rueful shake of the head, and a single useful phrase suffice for either situation:
BEI MEER HAYST DOOS NISHT LAIkakh
As far as I'm concerned, this can't be called laikakh.
Or you could say,
BEI MEER IZ DOOS NISH' KA' LAIkakh
As far as I'm concerned, this ain't laikakh.
Just remember: Laikakh is always the one you don't get.

Warner Brothers' Daffy, incidentally, is not a katshkeh; he's a KOOtsher. When used of individual members of the species, katshkeh denotes a female.
A kishkeh is an intestine or gut, and the kishkehs are as fine a place as any to land a blow or stow a meal.

Yiddish Dishes That Have the Same Name in English
You don't need to know what they are, just be sure to demand them — unless you're in a kosher restaurant, where your bluff might well be called. You want everybody to know that your equivalent of Proust's madeleine is a bean-based stew rounded out with leftover meat and left to simmer from Thursday night to Saturday afternoon (tshoolnt) or a fruit or vegetable stew, the most popular version of which is made with carrots and canned pineapple (tsimes).
The kigl can also cause your life to flash before your eyes, as can a nice plate of matseh-brei. Kigl, usually called kugel in English, is a "pudding" — whatever pudding means when it isn't rice, tapioca or Jell-O — made from either noodles (lokshn kigl) or potatoes (kartofl kigl), but never from both at once. It's so definitively Yiddish a food that preferences for noodle kugels of varying degrees of sweetness are used by ethnographers to determine the internal boundaries of East European Jewish culture.
Matseh-brei, though equally subject to regional variations, is as close as Yiddish cuisine is likely to come to bacon and eggs. Soak some matzoh in water until it's soft — not soggy, soft — scramble it up with some eggs (anywhere between one egg to every two sheets of matzoh to one egg per sheet, depending on taste) and enjoy…. A memory that one or the other of these can't summon is a memory that I don't have.
A Mendel of Eggs
In the old country, eggs were sold fifteen at a time, rather than by the dozen. In the area around Lodz in Poland, where my paternal grandfather came from, a package of fifteen eggs was known as a mendl, just like the male personal name:
GETS MEER A MENDL EIer
Give me fifteen [i.e., a carton of] eggs
Mendel is a very common name, but a mendl of eggs doesn't translate into English as a "marty." In other parts of the Yiddish-speaking world, a mendl was called a mandl, which can also mean "almond" or "tonsil." mendl itself can also mean "sheaf," and might well be responsible for the Salvation Army's failure to make much headway in the Yiddish-speaking world. I can't imagine anyone being converted by a hymn that speaks of "bringing in the mendls, we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the mendls." It sounds more like a threat than a prophecy.
Zaft, of course, gives us the fabulous zaftik (sometimes spelled zoftig in English), which is supposed to mean "juicy" rather than "hefty." A zaftik veib is a "juicy woman"— round and firm and fully-packed, she makes a man want to give a squeeze. The widespread English use of zaftik as a euphemism for "fat" owes more to Yiddish irony than to shifting notions of feminine beauty; it's like calling a heavy woman "well filled-out" in English. Zaftik in Yiddish is closer to "built."

Stile: Christie TV ad looks at the little picture
Governor Christie may very well be angling to become the next leader of the free world.
But for the moment, the champion of "big things" is seizing on a small-bore issue more fitting a race for freeholder than a contest for governor.
Christie is trying to paint his opponent, Democratic Sen. Barbara Buono, as a grubby, tax-and-spend Democrat who voted to raise her part-time legislative salary by 40 percent in early 2000.
"Barbara Buono. Higher taxes for us. A pay raise for herself," the narrator of Christie's television ad intones.
This as Christie is sitting on a 20-point lead in the polls and on a mountain of campaign cash compared to her molehill. It's not enough that Christie has enlisted a small army of Democratic Party defectors and has turned his office into a de facto publicity arm of the campaign.
Christie is after a blowout victory on Nov. 5, one that could mark him as a front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, his margin showing him as a pragmatic conservative who can win in the liberal Northeast. So, it's not entirely surprising that Christie is plucking a forgotten vote out of State House history and plucking it out of context.
Yes, it is true Buono voted for legislation that raised a legislator's salary from $35,000 to $49,000. It was the first pay raise in 10 years. And there hasn't been one since.
But what the Christie campaign omits is that the legislation was a bipartisan bill that cleared both Republican-controlled houses of the Legislature and was signed into law by Republican Gov. Christie Whitman. Its primary sponsor was Republican Sen. Joseph Kyrillos of Monmouth County, a close Christie confidant.
And then there is another fact that had no place in Christie's reductive, 30-second spot. The legislation also raised the salaries of judges, members of the Cabinet — and the governor. Christie can partly thank Buono for his $175,000 salary. If the bill didn't pass, Christie might be hauling home only $130,000.
So if a bill that passed more than 13 years ago was such a bad deal for New Jersey taxpayers, as Christie's attack implies, then shouldn't he take a pay cut and forgo the extra $45,000 in salary that the bill authorized?
Not a chance, Christie said Wednesday when asked directly about it.
"I'm not going to play this game of who is going to reduce whose salary," Christie said at a State House news conference. "She had her chance. She made her statement. She voted yes. And campaigns are about taking responsibility for the things that you do. She did it and now she has a whole bunch of excuses."
But campaigns are also about making symbolic and meaningful gestures, and this would have been an opportunity for Christie to make one.
A pay cut would be a sign of empathy for Jerseyans still shellshocked by the economic meltdown five years ago. The salary for New Jersey's governor is fourth highest in the country, according to a survey for the Council of State Legislatures.
Christie would not be the first governor to take such a step. Gov. Jim Florio accepted only $85,000, or $45,000 less than the statutory cap, during the recession of the early 1990s, and Whitman did the same thing. Democrat Jon S. Corzine, a wealthy Goldman Sachs executive, drew a $1 salary during his one term.
And it's not as if a $45,000 pay cut would send the Christie family to the poorhouse — his wife, Mary Pat, is managing director of a New York-based investment firm. She reported earning $307,372 in 2011 in her previous part-time post for Cantor Fitzgerald. (The Christies have not released their tax returns for 2012.)
Taking a pay cut could also have a political impact by reminding voters of the state's lingering economic troubles, which contradict Christie's "Jersey Comeback" theme. The state's unemployment rate is 8.6 percent, higher than the 7.3 percent national average, the state's foreclosure rate is among the nation's highest and job growth remains sluggish.
"If she thinks it defensible, then it's fine by her. I wasn't here then," Christie said. "I didn't get a chance to vote." He then added, that, "my people voted no on that bill."
Well, that's not entirely true. In the Assembly, 32 Republicans voted for the measure — more than double the number who voted against it — and 13 Senate Republicans also voted for it. One of them sat in the front row at Wednesday's news conference.
Kyrillos said he saw no contradiction when Christie says it is bad for Buono to vote for a pay hike but OK for the governor to take one thanks to the same vote.
"He [Christie] is putting it in the context of a total tax-and-spend record," Kyrillos said.
Kyrillos was attempting to smooth over the rough edges of Christie's attack. In effect, Christie's campaign is accusing Buono of taking money out of taxpayers' pockets by claiming she voted for 154 tax hikes and fee increases since 1996, and then put money into her own by voting to increase her pay.
Never mind that many pressed for the pay hike, fearing that without one, the state would have a tough time attracting and retaining talented judges and officials to serve in prominent state posts.
Buono's campaign dismissed the charge as another Christie-manufactured distraction.
"Instead of focusing on Senator Buono, he should explain why he refuses to sign legislation that would raise the minimum wage for workers across the state and his decision to raise taxes on the working poor," said David Turner, Buono's spokesman.
In the anything-goes rules of a Jersey political campaign, Buono's vote for tax increases and fees is fair game and so is her vote for a pay hike. Politics is an ugly sport and Christie is playing for keeps and using every advantage at his disposal.
Someday very soon Christie may finally take the plunge and run for the Oval Office. But Christie has decided for now that his political future depends on a Jersey campaign trail that takes him along a muddy, low road.

Former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford allegedly trashed a hotel room in Alabama and demonstrated "odd" behavior while appearing at a 2009 GOP dinner in the "Heart of Dixie," a new political memoir suggests. In the book Storming The State House, written by Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard, Alabama GOP operatives claimed that Sanford made a royal mess of his hotel room.
"Upon entering the room, they found the cushions had been removed from the furniture and scattered around the room, some as if thrown and others as if arranged methodically," Hubbard writes in the book. "Other pieces of furniture had been placed on the hotel's balcony."
Hubbard's book also references Sanford sneaking off from a GOP dinner on multiple occasions to talk on his cell phone.
The excerpts were first published by The Daily Caller.
Having shared a hotel room with Sanford on numerous occasions, this website's founding editor Will Folks (Sanford's former spokesman) can certainly attest to the fact that he exhibited "strange" behavior while traveling as the book suggests.
"He exhibited strange behavior when he wasn't traveling, too," Folks said. "He's a quirky dude."
In fact Sic's own forthcoming book details several amusing anecdotes from trips he took with Sanford to West Virginia, Wisconsin and several other states. According to these excerpts, Sanford repeatedly turned down upscale private rooms (and would-be "companions" to share those rooms with) in an effort to maintain his legendary frugality. And far from indulging in bad behavior, rooming with Sanford was one step removed from rooming with one's parents.
"I can't speak to his habits when he traveled alone but when he was with staff he was a total buzz kill," Folks explained. "Rooming with him was painful. Not only did it mean you weren't getting laid, it invariably meant that you were going to be roused from sleep at five in the morning so the governor could discuss something he just watched on C-SPAN."
But what's up with the pillows?
"Most of that was due to his bad back," Folks explains. "He was always trying to figure out a way to position himself so that his back didn't hurt him. I guess his Latin lover fixed that for him."
Indeed, Sanford is reportedly free from back pain for the first time in many years, which one psychologist suggested to us was the result of "no longer internalizing the stress of his secret life."
Anyway, while Hubbard's book certainly paints an interesting picture … the reality (at least according to what our founding editor saw) is likely far less dramatic.

In the second installment of our Hutong Histories 2009-series we look into the phenomenon of punctual preservation as put on the agenda by the Beijing Cultural Heritage Protection Center (BJCHP) and show an update on the destruction of the area surrounding Gulou Dajie subway station.
The BJCHP Center is a registered Chinese NGO that works at the grass roots level, dedicated to heightening awareness about preservation and protection of the hutong heritage. Recently they put the planned "Destruction of Former Residences of Famous Architects" on the agenda:
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin were two of the most famous Chinese architects of the 20th Century. They designed the national emblem and the Monument to the People's Heroes. The highest award in China for architectural design is also named after Liang Sicheng. In 1930, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin left Shenyang for Beijing [then Beiping] and established their residence at No. 24 Beizongbu Hutong [formerly No. 3].( …) Even though Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are internationally-renowned architects and, therefore, their residences should be preserved, the Cultural Heritage Department has so far taken absolutely no legal action to prevent the destruction. The laws on cultural heritage protection have not changed drastically over the last 20 years, but they have always demanded that sites of historical value be protected.
A recent article on Xinhua seconds this opinion. "Demolition of historic homes raises questions about Beijing's development " mentions that the former residence of Mao Zedong, founder of the People's Republic of China, is under renovation. This process of punctual preservation is facing some obstacles although:
"Since 2005, we have done several preservation projects in the former homes of influential people in modern Chinese history," says Wang Yuwei, an official with the Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage. (…) "But it's not feasible to relocate all the residents in all those old buildings and turn them into museums. The government cannot afford it and some of the residents are not willing to move," Wang says.
Our upcoming post on the celebration of the collapse of pre-Olympic "Beijing Hutong Preservation"-bubble will deal with the phenomenon of the hutong "fake-overs" and "paper preservation". An update on the yesteryear plans and ambitions by Prince Charles, SOHO China and the Qianmen-area will serve as an example. For now a couple of snapshots of ongoing destruction in the Gulou Dajie Subway station area.

Will 'Brave' Continue Pixar's Winning Ways?
It's perhaps unfair, but Pixar's coming movie "Brave" could be seen by some as a bit of a comeback attempt for the animation studio. Pixar's last movie "Cars 2," was a huge hit at the box office and toy stores, but drew some tougher-than-usual reviews from critics. "Brave" is Pixar's first film to revolve around a female protagonist, taking the studio into new (and long-overdue) territory. And it comes in the wake of rival DreamWorks Animation stepping up its game with releases like "How to Train Your Dragon," a movie that critics and audiences seemed to love, judging by its box office and its reviews. Will "Brave" continue Pixar's winning ways? Check out this full trailer.

U.K. Mobile-Phone Companies Agree to Cap Unexpected ChargesRobert Hutton
Four of the U.K.'s largest mobile-phone companies agreed to implement measures to reduce unexpected charges, after coming under pressure from government ministers keen to show they're helping consumers.
Vodafone Group Plc; EE, which is co-owned by Orange SA and Deutsche Telekom AG; Three, owned by Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.; and Virgin Media Inc. said they will cap bills run up on phones reported lost or stolen, stop mid-contract price increases, and support the government in its attempt to end roaming charges within the European Union, the government said today.
With prices rising faster than wages since the recession, Prime Minister David Cameron's government has come under pressure to help squeezed voters. U.K. power companies announced yesterday they will cut prices for consumers after Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne pledged to scale back government green levies to ease the cost of living.
"We are ensuring hard-working families are not hit with shock bills through no fault of their own," Culture Secretary Maria Miller, whose departments oversees telecommunications, said in an e-mailed statement. "Families can be left struggling if carefully planned budgets are blown away by unexpected bills from a stolen mobile or a mid-contract price rise. This agreement with the telecoms companies will deliver real benefits to consumers and help ensure people are not hit with shock bills."
BT Group Plc, British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc and TalkTalk Telecom Group Plc also agreed to back the plan to eliminate roaming charges in the EU, the government said.

WALTHAM -- As the Celtics prepare for Game 7 Saturday night at TD Garden against the Sixers, Avery Bradley is resting after surgery Friday on both shoulders, a source with direct knowledge of the situation tells WEEI.com.
The source confirms that Bradley had surgery on Friday and is expecting a summer-long rehab program that could last up to four months. If all goes as expected, Bradley should be ready for training camp in October.
Bradley initially injured the rotator cuff in his left shoulder but after playing with the injury, he also injured the right shoulder to the point where it needed to be repaired as well. Bradley had the left shoulder pop out in the third quarter of Game 4 against the Sixers and missed Games 5 and 6 before deciding to have surgery on Friday, performed by team doctor Brian McKeon, so that he could be ready for training camp in October.
Ray Allen started in place of Bradley and will start again Saturday night in Game 7.
For complete coverage of Game 7 from the team of Paul Flannery, Mike Petraglia, Ben Rohrbach and Ryan Hadfield, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics [1] and the Green Street [2] blog.

Dazed and Confused: Zeppelin Played Where?
By John Kelly
Thursday, January 22, 2009; Page B03
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang for Richard Nixon's first inauguration. A musical group called Up With People was among the acts performing in his inaugural parade.
For those of you too young to remember either of those groups, imagine a regular polygon with all sides equal lengths and internal angles of 90 degrees. In other words: square. And if you are too young to know what "square" means, imagine a racehorse pulling up with a broken leg: lame.
Yes, Jan. 20, 1969, was not necessarily a good date for music around here, unless you just happened to be at the Wheaton Youth Center on Georgia Avenue, where a new combo from England by the name of Led Zeppelin played its first-ever gig in the Washington area.
That's Led Zeppelin, as in "Dazed and Confused," as in the biggest hard-rock band in the world, as in creators of the sort of bacchanalian excess that goes hand in hand with being tight-trousered, lion-maned, groupie-ravishing, devil-worshipping, "Spinal Tap"-inspiring English rock and roll musicians.
Led Zeppelin. In Wheaton. At the sort of place where Ping-Pong tables are set up next to Coke machines and drop-in basketball players divide themselves into teams of shirts and skins.
Or is this unlikely performance just an urban myth?
"There's people who grew up in Wheaton, across the street, who went to every show, who don't remember it," said local filmmaker Jeff Krulik. Jeff, who with John Heyn made the cult classic "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" (the documentary consists of fans outside the Capital Centre before a 1986 Judas Priest concert), has become obsessed with Zep's first concert in the Washington area. It's an outgrowth of a project on the area teen center scene in the late '60s and early '70s.
Said Jeff: "Every neighborhood had a band. Every school had a band. Every county had a band. . . . They were playing at places like these community centers and high schools."
Yeah, but Zeppelin? Earlier in the month the band had played three nights at the Whiskey a Go Go near Hollywood, followed by four nights at San Francisco's Fillmore West. In July the band would return to the area for the Laurel Pop Festival at the Laurel racetrack, headlining a bill that included Jethro Tull and Edgar Winter.
"I love the fact that it's a mystery," Jeff said of the Wheaton gig. It's mentioned on the band's official Web site, but Jeff hasn't turned up any physical evidence or met anyone who was there.
To Jeff, youth center gigs bespeak a simpler time, a time before the birth of the billion-dollar corporate rock industry.
"There was no Internet," he said. "Things were analog, and either you were a performer or you went and saw performers. You had to go out and see it."
Lore has it that only 55 people showed up for the Wheaton Youth Center show, quite possibly the smallest audience to see Led Zeppelin outside of Jimmy Page's living room. Jeff is confident it actually took place, having made contact with the man who organized the concert: Barry Richards, who at the time was a DJ on Gaithersburg radio station WHMC and now lives on the West Coast.
"It's unbelievable," Jeff said. "And the fact that it was a Monday night, January 20th, the night of Richard Nixon's inauguration."
Of course, he added: "They weren't drawing the same crowd."
Were you one of the 55 people who saw Led Zeppelin at the Wheaton Youth Center on Jan. 20, 1969? Jeff Krulik would love to interview you. E-mail him at email@example.com or call 202-966-5304. He's planning a reunion event at the center March 7.

I have a suspect that I hope I'm wrong about. I have moved several of my hives to a more rural area,,,,,,,,farms,,,farmettes and the like. I don't find it unusual to see a quantity of dead bees in front of the hive this time of year. I did notice some have pollen still on their legs. Never noticed this at the previous location. Pears and cherries are starting to bloom, plus some ornamentals,,
Seems funny they got to the hive and didn't make it in to unload the pollen. Pesticide????? Not a lot of bees,,,,,,dozen or so,,,,but on more than one hive.
Thought appreciated

Remove 'India' from HIL if home players barred
The whole purpose of HIL will stand defeated if the six Services players don't get clearance to play the inaugural edition.
The whole purpose of Hockey India League (HIL) will stand defeated if the six Services players - still waiting to get clearance to play for their respective teams - don't get to play the inaugural edition of the HIL that commences on Monday.
What's the whole idea behind Hockey India League? That hockey gets its 'National Game' status back. That hockey is resuscitated back to life after hitting the nadir at London Olympics. That India's elite status as the 'eight time Olympic champions' doesn't remain confined to history books. That hockey comes out of cricket's shadow and reaches out to millions. That people get to know and meet the stars who lay coffins on the sidelines as they represent their country.
All of this will be defeated unless 'WE' act. It has to be collective effort. And if the Services Sports Control Board refuses to give clearance to Ignace Tirkey, SV Sunil, PT Rao, Jonny Jasrotia, Sukhdev Singh and Lavdeep Singh - India will be at loss while the foreigners will come, play, earn and leave merrily. While Sunil, Rao, Tirkey and Jasrotia are on the payrolls of Indian Army, Sukhdev and Lavdeep work for the Indian Air Force.
The 'WE' here refers to everyone involved in helping the HIL succeed and players' future prosper. 'WE' means the players, their families, friends, franchises, coaches, support staff and employers. And with everybody joining hands, there's no reason why Services should leave these six players to lick their wounds and not benefit from what seems to be a lifetime opportunity for every player part of the HIL. And it's disappointing to learn that it's the Indian armed forces at the centre of this - the department that wears heart on its sleeve to serve the nation. So what stops them from allowing their men or keep them waiting to help revive India's national game?
Tirkey has given his life to hockey, Sunil is India's most promising player, Rao has remarkably come up the junior ranks. Those guys not playing is the last thing Indian hockey needs at this moment - with the players guaranteed to learn playing alongside the best from around the world.
But what India certainly don't want is a blossoming career shattered into pieces by this impasse not culminating into a happy ending. It will be a black day in Indian hockey if a player like Sunil hangs up his stick and says "Thank you so much." Hope such a moment never arrives in Indian hockey.

Dunno, I can't fault Brady. He was asked those thongs and said yeah life is good. Well yeah his is. Don't like it? Make something of yourself. Jealousy is a bitch. And I'm included, I'm jealous and I make 140k with the wife adding another 60k. I "feel" like your average middle class guy. Although that much money I wouldn't pick her. Just me though.
He gets most of his hate (and rightfully so) from his bitching on the field. The rest is flat out jealousy.
I'm in the minority on him. I get his schtick. He could give two shits what people think of him and he feeds off all the negative stuff people say about him.
I am glad Joe is so humble though. But he did buy a rather expensive truck and his house is pretty sick (deservedly so).
Tommy C, I agree with others, that is one hilarious "interview" video!:laugh:
Hah, why is there an Irish guy in a Munster rugby jersey in that video?
Although he can be a whiny bitch on the field, that's sports these days. If he didn't gain an advantage from doing it, he wouldn't. Off the field I don't have a problem with him, and why would I, I've never met him. There's always photo's knocking about with him walking his kids around and all that and he just seems like a regular guy.
A regular guy who drives a Bugatti Veyron and has a Supermodel for a wife. Damn him!
I'm not jealous of Brady. I just don't like the guy because he whines on the field.
Not jealous of Joe either, but he's my second all time favorite Raven behind Ogden.
"Joe can't eat chicken! He's a Raven! That would be llke cannibalism!"!
Mmm...longpork stir-fry...:rolling:
Joe seems like the type of guy you could go to a dive bar with and have a few beers. Tom on the other hand...

That's why people love Manning and hate Brady. Jealousy and envy.
Manning - pappa johns, midsize car commercials, Doritos, Gatorade
Brady - designer watches, Ugg boots, NetJets and supermodel wife.
In reality they're both mega rich.
If if makes you feel better, hate away. But be honest, who would you rather be?
Only pay attention to them because of football. Their personal lives seem great, but I would think there are problems associated with being famous. Might like to have those problems, but I'm really satisfied with my life. These guys can't take a leak outside their homes without it being tabloid fodder. Good for them, both great football players who any team would love to have.
