A work around if you haven't renamed the labels. But just moved where
they are located. Leave the place levels where they are, and edit the
output templates of the place.
Say you want DETAIL, COUNTY, CITY, COUNTRY.
Leave them DETAIL, CITY, COUNTY, COUNTRY on the template. But then
change the way the output prints. The labels will fit, and it will
print correctly too. Doesn't help though if you change the names of the

The Master Place List has titles at the top under the filter. They go
Set; Addressee; Detail; City; County; etc. I have set up different
styles and these don't fit. I could remember what each one means, but I
would like to change
City to Suburb; County to City; etc
Is there any (easy) way to change these titles?

Located in a mangrove forest, the complex is designed with a protruding volume on the hotel's north side that houses a conference center; paths lead to freestanding pavilions housing a spa and other amenities. The south façade faces the beach, and the requirement of outdoor space for each guest room led the team to maximize natural ventilation.

Past JLPT Tests
By thomas | September 11, 2008
The best way to prepare for the JLPT test is to take as many past JLPT tests as possible. Some of these are sold commercially, but wouldn't it be nice to have 17 years worth of tests to practice with?
[Updated January 20, 2011]
I've received several comments that some old links are dead. Here is where you can find tests:
Tests – this link has all tests from 1992-2009. To get answers+audio, simply register for the site. Registration is free. Once you are logged in, use the same link to download tests and the answers will be included in the generated page.

Redefining breakfast: two strategies that are breathing new life into a tired category
A new brand that's rocketed from zero to £44-million in sales within three years and is helping redefine a category, and an old brand that has found growth by using an approved health claim to connect to one of the biggest consumer needs – these two cases illustrate the way the breakfast category is being redefined and provide key lessons for any company. [Click pic to enlarge]
Kraft's Belvita Breakfast Biscuits are a phenomenon. Long-established in mainland Europe, Kraft launched the brand in the UK – where there was no consumer habit of eating biscuits for breakfast – in 2010, since when retail sales have jumped from zero to £44-million ($72-million/€54-million) in 2012. In 2012 alone sales grew 70%. Prorata Belvita's sales in the UK (a country of 60 million people) to a country the size of the US and it's equivalent to a $350-million brand.
One of the elements of Belvita's success is that it provides a new type of convenience at a time when consumers' breakfast habits are changing and traditional breakfast options are no longer convenient enough. According to one consumer research company, 40% of UK consumers take breakfast either at work or on the way there.
People – and especially younger consumers – are increasingly looking for something that is:
- convenient and easy to eat in a hurry
- delicious
- satisfying
- provides an energy boost
- and is healthy (or has a halo of health)
Breakfast cereal companies have failed to respond to these needs, focusing instead on their traditional brands, which are little more than inconvenient big boxes containing some dry grains. This failure to respond to a changing market has created an opportunity for a disruptive innovation and it was Kraft Foods that first seized the initiative.
The success of Kraft Belvita shows the power of the following elements, which anyone can use to underpin their own innovation efforts:
- Permission to indulge
- Simple marketing message innovation
- Creating a new brand
- Creating a new category or new segment of an existing market
- An expert brand
Faced with the huge challenge of selling a sweet biscuit as a healthy breakfast option, Kraft's positioning of its brand is skilful and key to its success. The aim is "permission to indulge" – enabling people who would like to eat healthily, or believe that they do, to make Belvita their breakfast choice without any guilt.
There are two steps to the Belvita message. The first is messaging on the pack and in advertising which tells people that biscuits can be part of a healthy breakfast: What is a balanced breakfast? 4 Belvita Breakfast Biscuits + 1 serving of dairy + 1 portion of fruit.
The second part emphasises the product's slow energy-release carbohydrates, reassuring people that they can eat sweet biscuits for breakfast and still feel virtuous.
Kraft used a new brand to deliver this new proposition and create a new breakfast category (as well as a new segment of the biscuit market) – a success factor that has been shown over and again. Contrary to marketers' conventional wisdom, new brands are always more successful and the delivery of totally new propositions is less risky than extensions of existing brands.
Kraft has also shown it understands that what helps drive successful brands today is a steady pipeline of new tastes to hold the interest of people who quickly get bored.
Starting from a basic four variants in 2010, Belvita today has eight flavours. The result of this strategy has been massive success. In the UK 2012 sales jumped 70% compared to 2011 to £44-million ($72-million/€54-million). Belvita has become the UK's 6th-biggest biscuit brand and by itself in 2012 generated 50% of the entire growth in the UK's £1.589-billion ($2.594-billion/€1.956-billion) biscuit category.
Belvita has become "the expert brand" for breakfast biscuits and established a position that will be hard for anyone to challenge. The best any competitor can hope for now is to be in a distant second place.
Faced with the challenge and the opportunity of changing breakfast habits, the breakfast cereal companies failed to respond. But just like the management textbooks say, now that their market is being attacked by a new entrant from outside their category, the cereal companies' managements are waking up.
Kellogg has decided to be the follower to Kraft, launching its own line of breakfast biscuits as an extension of its Nutri-Grain brand, which experienced a 1.5% sales decline in 2012. [Click pic to enlarge]
Kellogg's approach reveals weak senior management marketing skills. By launching it as a brand extension Kellogg has already increased its chances of failure. Kellogg is investing a £4.5-million ($7.3-million/€5.5-million) marketing budget behind the new launch. It's a big spend – but history shows that me-too products that challenge expert brands and bring no new point of difference perform poorly.
Away from the breakfast-on the go convenience market there's better news for Kellogg in the UK. In this market the company was the first company in Europe to use a regulator-approved digestive health claim – a step that has begun to pay dividends.
Kellogg harnessed two of Europe's Article 13.1 health claims to one of its oldest brands, giving its 90-year-old All-Bran brand – a high-fibre brand long established as "a digestive health remedy for older people" – a new lease of life. The re-launch was a bid by the company to broaden the appeal of All- Bran, which is widely recognised for its high fibre content.
Kellogg was explicit in stating that it is aiming to capitalise on the approval by EFSA of two Article 13.1 health claims linking wheat bran fibre with digestive health. The claims, which are to be included on the EU's generic list of structure-function claims that anybody can use, are: "Wheat bran fibre contributes to an acceleration of intestinal transit" and "Wheat bran fibre contributes to an increase in faecal bulk".
Considering the claims are not the most consumer-friendly use of language it is understandable that the digestive health benefits are instead expressed on-pack as: "Introducing a new way to feel All-Bran new! New Kellogg All-Bran Golden Crunch is a light and crunchy multi-grain cereal made with wheat bran, oven baked into delicious clusters so it's not only good for your digestive health, but tastes great too."
Kellogg threw its marketing muscle behind the new positioning, investing £5-million ($7.9-million/€5.5-million) in a multi-media campaign under the strapline "Feel All-Bran New".
The strategy made sense because although digestive health is consumers' biggest need and has for a decade been one of the two biggest trends driving our industry, only the probiotic yoghurt category has responded. Every other category in the supermarket has studiously ignored the opportunity.
Only Danone's Activia brand has capitalised fully on this key trend – with its "speeds intestinal transit time" claims. Consumers have rewarded Activia by helping it become the world's biggest digestive health brand.

´Arab, Haredi integration will boost per capita GDP´ (JERUSALEM POST) By NADAV SHEMER 03/20/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/Business/BusinessNews/Article.aspx?id=262662
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The quickest path to achieving GDP of $40,000 per person is to fully integrate the Arab and Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) sectors into the economy, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Tuesday.
Speaking at the second annual conference of his offices Authority for Economic Development of the Arab, Druse and Circassian sectors in Haifa, Netanyahu said the average income of Israelis has already reached that of many medium economic powers, and is on the way to catching up with the UK, Germany and France.
The prime minister said his government has allocated NIS 5 billion in specific projects for non-Jewish communities during its tenure, not just out of economic interest but also in order to send a message that every child in Israel is entitled to an equal opportunity regardless of where they are from.
Netanyahu said the government would continue investing in the Arab sector and would attempt to remove bureaucratic barriers standing in the way of the sectors economic integration. But he said that this alone would not suffice, explaining that Arab leaders need to cooperate if there is to be an improvement in their communitys economic standing.
He expressed concern about the growing crime rate in Arab cities, and said he instructed Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch to formulate a new law enforcement program following requests for government assistance from Arab municipality chiefs. He said the turning point came during a recent Knesset discussion, when he heard testimony from Arab victims of intra-city crime including a mother whose husband was murdered by local criminals.
All successful states have three characteristics in common: economic freedom and entrepreneurship, education, and law and order, Netanyahu said. It is a winning combination.
Earlier, Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said that income inequality between Arabs and Jews would be bridged not just by increasing investment, but also by acting with common sense and sensitivity.
Recalling his participation last week in the dedication of state- funded digital technology schools in Taybeh and Baka al-Gharbiyah, Steinitz said he was moved to see children aged 4-5 familiarizing themselves with computer software even before learning to read and write.
I said to myself that this is how we build the future of the Arab sector and its integration into the Israeli economy, Steinitz said, adding that these same children will become part of the hi-tech industry in the future, causing a subsequent increase in Arab income levels and in their involvement in the wider economy.
The heads of various Arab and Druse municipalities including Sakhnin, Kfar Qassem, Usfiya and Bir al-Maksur warned during a panel discussion that the government must devote even more funds to the Arab sector if its economic situation is to improve. They told the prime minister about the problems faced by their communities during a face-to-face meeting the same day.
Sakhnin mayor Mazen Ghnaim slammed government plans to establish new Arab cities, saying that it would be preferable to strengthen existing cities such as his own. He warned that failure to strengthen Sakhnins industrial zone and to attract investment to the city could lead to an increase in instances of violence.
Other participants in the day-long conference included: Ricardo Hausmann, Director of the Center for International Development at Harvard University; Hossam Haick of the Technions Department of Chemical Engineering and Nanotechnology; and Dan Schechtman, winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The New Orleans Saints are giving running back Mark Ingram one more shot. The former first-round pick is entering a contract season. He has never surpassed more than 700 yards from scrimmage or five touchdowns in a season, but right now, he is on top of the team's running back depth chart.
Ingram ran with the first-team offense during Saturday's practice while Pierre Thomas worked with the second team. Head coach Sean Payton referred to Ingram as "one of our starters" later in the day.
"He's a guy that we felt played very well in the last half of the season," Payton said of Ingram. "It's a position where we obviously carry depth, because it's a position that gets nicked up in our game. (Ingram) is smart. He's tough. He runs with good pad level. So far, he's doing well."
Fantasy Analysis:
Ingram had a big game against Dallas in Week 10, but which running back didn't slice and dice that defense last season? Past that, he averaged 3.7 yards per carry and has never averaged four yards per carry in a season.
There might be a few more carries to go around with Darren Sproles now in Philadelphia, but that work could be taken up by Khiry Robinson or Travaris Cadet instead of Ingram.
Thomas remains the most valuable Saints running back for fantasy purposes because his proficiency as a runner and receiver. Ingram is an RB4 at best. I stopped waiting for a breakout some time ago.

Fiji - Yasawa Islands
An unexpected mullet, 31 Mosquito bites and no plans!
So we left you on Mantaray Island where we were doing our diving course. We're happy to announce we passed! Keep this a secret though....I'm not sure anyone would fail.....Sette (the diving instructor) two days in a row forgot to meet us to do our afternoon dive school theory session...we keenly reminded him but he was on full time fiji time, I think he's more about the actual diving rather than the teaching! Anyway nobody drowned and we both know how to signal 'ok' 'up' & 'down' underwater.......what more do we need when 18m under water with a risk of the bends and lung explosion on the cards!! We've also made our own signals for shark, turtle, jellyfish and this is boring...all very necessary signals I feel! We also had to do a celebratory downing a can of beer from a snorkle with a mask on to complete our training. Patrick probably not so much, but I've managed to avoid any sort of beer bong activity through Uni and for the last 28 years up until now....
Now the actual diving was incredible to say the least. I can't really explain how great it was but a colourful tropical paradise of hundreds of fish and coral.....now I'm not sure about Patrick but if anyone has ever seen The Little Mermaid.....it's just like that! It also helps if you sing it in your head while underwater!
Luckily we saw a shark again and a guy who was staying in the same resort happened to be snorkelling over us when we saw it! He's got a great picture of us underwater scuba geared up and next to a shark from overhead!! Ill put it up when he emails it.
The food at Mantaray was the best, freshly cooked lovely Fijian meals. A lot of the food is Indian style and lots of Thai flavours too. Diving and eating made us really tired so we didn't really go out much (and actually if I'm honest everyone was 18 and we're not!) So lazy old lady syndrome struck again! Also it rained for 2 days so we were stuck in our little beach huts. I'm not sure how that's allowed in paradise but it did, we were like two bored kids for one of the days but we did manage to have some serious discussions about Australia and what we should do.....realising we are still homeless, jobless, with no midwifery registration through yet and actually having 10 days left in fiji not 7 like we thought. I also thought Pinapples grew on trees......apparently not we discovered in the gardens.
Mantaray island came to an end on the 4th day (sunny now....thanks!) and we headed off to Octopus Island on the recommendation of two of my friends for home who've been to fiji (thanks to them this was a winner). We got there full of beans and this really was what dreams are made of....absolute paradise beaches and extra attention to detail. There were lots of activities to partake in........of which we did! First Patrick put on his sulu as required for the night and i put some flowers in my hair and we went to the Fijian dancing night and Fijian dance we did!! I really like the Fijians....they are really really nice people. I also asked a local elder how they have their babies as there is no hospital on the island and she said they get in a boat ...when in labour and go across the seas to the hospital!! she said as expected lots of the babies end up being born in the boat!! Crazy!
That day it was spent at the beach and the pool....both within 50m of each other, learnt how to basket weave and generally lay around the place! That night we went to dinner and met Kate and Nick.....our new friends for the next 3 days! It was Saturday night and we polished off a good few drinks with them. Nick is a bricklayer too and they have been living in Australia for the last 14 months from the UK which was great as they had loads of tips for us especially as we were getting nervous about it being a week away that we were arriving! They were on their way back ad their visa had expired. They were a good fun.....he reminded me of Ricky Gervais and they were going to the same island as us next so we carried on the next part of the trip with them. Dinner and drinks with them again that night, some free lagers and a bit of Patrick teaching Irish dancing later we finished the night off pretty tipsy shall we say!! The next day we all cooked in the sun complaining like true Europeans that it was too hot and rolled around in our hangovers falling in the pool every now and again!
We unfortunately had to leave Kate and Nick that day as we were going back to Nadi on the mainland to plan the final week of our trip and they were staying on bounty island. Nothing especially good happened that evening, did our washing, had a medium dinner and crashed out!
The next day we made a vague plan to head to the coral coast which hugs the south coast of the main island. We don't ever really seem to have a plan and its worked so far! We got on a local bus which wasn't built for men of Patrick's height...knees up to his chin and head out of the windowless window we headed to get our connecting bus to the coast. We unexpectedly happened on a barbers when waiting for our connecting bus where Patrick in big need of a trim made a mistake of being caught off guard and telling the barber "I'll have what you've got" , surely not what you should say when the barbers hair looks nothing like your usual short back and sides......anyway he walked out with a Fijian mullet and he's apparently keeping it!!!!
As expected we missed our stop.....when a bloke on the bus says he'll let you know when to get off and you believe him.....you should always know it probably wont work out. Never mind...we got out when we realised we had gone too far and just stayed there. That's the beauty of Fiji...it just sorts itself out! The place we stayed in was a backpacker place but it was a bit boring so we didnt get up to much. However that night a mosquito had some serious hunger on and decided to bite me 31 TIMES!!! I had been using Mozi spray but not religiously and tonight he went to town when I had none....face, ears the works! The worst bit was being half asleep and hearing it near my head....knowing it was somehow getting in my sheets biting me even though I had tried to wrap myself in some sort of protective cocoon. Patrick's ever supportive sleepy response was......"You're imagining it....there's no mosquito in here just go to sleep"
The next morning was not a happy one!
I also think there must be a time like a marathon runner in everyone who goes travelling where you hit the wall and just get fed up of sharing showers, beds of other people, having a few clothes that aren't properly clean and not much of your own and I think we are somewhere around this stage after nearly 50 days of being away! Our next stop was Pacific Harbour and we sat down to make a plan for once for the remaining 5 days soaking up the last rays as its due to rain in our final days here. We're heading towards nadi along the coral coast at the moment not really sure how to spend our last few days.
Not long now and next stop will be Australia!

Despite brain injury, Penn-Trafford junior varsity baseball coach feels 'blessed'
As he spent nearly a month in a local hospital and rehabilitation center recovering from a "scary" brain injury, John Shusteric heard a familiar refrain.
"(People) basically said I'm a lucky guy," he said.
But Shusteric prefers a different word: "blessed."
"I've been through some (difficult) situations — the doctor told me I shouldn't even be here," said Shusteric, 56, of Irwin. "It's been a real life-changing experience, believe me."
Shusteric, the junior varsity baseball coach at Penn-Trafford, was fishing with friends at Canoe Creek State Park in Blair County on April 13, the first day of trout fishing season, when he said he started to get "a really bad headache" in the back of his head.
Soon enough, the pain spread the whole way around his head.
"It was by far the worst pain I've ever felt," Shusteric said.
Shusteric eventually lost consciousness.He was taken first to Altoona Hospital and then to UPMC Presbyterian. Shusteric spent more than two weeks at UPMC Presbyterian, where he said doctors diagnosed him with a broken blood vessel in his brain.
After Presbyterian, Shusteric was transferred to HealthSouth Harmarville Rehabilitation Hospital, where he spent time working on exercises to get his balance and strength back. He was released May 9.
Though Shusteric said he never experienced any paralysis and is "feeling good" now, he knows that might not have been the case were it not for some quick action from his friends when the injury first happened.
When the injury first occurred, Shusteric attempted to walk by himself after leaving one of the fishing boats. One of his friends, walking behind him, noticed Shusteric was unsteady on his feet and grabbed hold of him. The group got in touch with the park rangers, which helped Shusteric get to the hospital quickly.
"I believe that's a big part of the whole thing, getting me down there fast," Shusteric said. "It made a big difference."
Shusteric, who also teaches health and physical education at Penn-Trafford High School and handles the intramural program at the high school, began coaching the freshman baseball team when he came to the district in 1997. He said he had been involved with the junior varsity program for about seven years.
The Penn-Trafford varsity baseball team honored its coach with prayers after his injury, with sophomore pitcher Ryan Fasnacht even stepping off the mound to do so during a game. Shusteric said he received an overwhelming response from the community while he was in the hospital, both in visitors and cards.
"They sent me all kind of notes down to Presbyterian," Shusteric said. "One nurse I had thought I was maybe some sort of celebrity because I had so many note cards and responses from people."
He said his family — Kathy, his wife of 34 years, 30-year-old daughter Melanie and 27-year-old son Daniel — also helped him get through his ordeal, as did members of his church. He said several of his friends came and visited on his son's wedding day, which occurred during his hospital stay.
While Shusteric wasn't allowed to return to coaching or teaching this spring, he said athletic director Kerry Hetrick already spoke to him about coming back next year.
"John's a great friend, and he's a big help," Hetrick said. "He's a big part of our athletic program. He does things for me from A to Z, and it's not the same here without him. I miss him being around."
For now, Shusteric will continue his recovery at home.
"I'm just going to try to ... get stronger and take care of myself right now," he said. "That's got to be my top priority right now, getting back in shape."

That list is pretty interesting Brian. The best we can hope for is that the high free throw rate indicates that defenders are resorting to fouling him because there is no other way to stop him from getting a good look.
If that is true, then the kid will only get better and more efficient with time. We have to hope that his adjustment time (in terms of speeding up his offensive arsenal) is the biggest issue here. In the back of my head though, all I keep thinking is that Turner may be the Dukiest non-Duke player ever.
He's going to have to start making those good looks, if he's creating them. They'll stop fouling him if he isn't a threat to score. This is a good base, though. Actually, it's probably a better sign than a guy who's hitting a decent percentage of his shots, but can't buy a trip to the line.
I questioned last night our coaches idea of sitting the 2 veterens at one time, instead of seperately. K.Fagan's article today talks about team leadership, maybe Collins wanted one of the youngins to show , on the court, an ability to be a third voice of the coach, along with Iggy and Elton.
Hmmn, if that was his goal, I don't think it worked out all that well.
How do you feel about Collins having no practice the day after that game?
I don't mind if Collins gives the team a day off, maybe he figured the team was fatigued physically and mentally. Sometimes the best idea after a bad performance is to just get away and forget it for a day, then come back fresh and ready to work hard the next day.
I hope in the next few preseason games that Collins gives Jrue and Turner some significant minutes together on the court, see if they can get into a flow together out there. Games don't count in the standings, great time to do it and help them work things out.
Love this picture which we have seen a lot of (empty seats). The Sixers need to pull it together this pre season or other than the Heat game they will continue to have scores of empty seats. I would wonder why they wouldn't go after a guy like Dampier especially needing a defensive presence at Center. One thing about OKC they didn't have that in their starting lineup but they played Ibaka at least 20 minutes a game to prvide that defensive presence. This is what the Sixers need right now to shore up the defense.
I'm not sure what's going on with Dampier, but you'd have to assume he's going to want more than the veteran's minimum. If he's forced to settle for the minimum, you'd have to assume he wants to go to a good team, with a chance to go to the playoffs.
What they really needed to do was buy a pick early in the second and draft a defensive big project like Whiteside. Too bad they were at Chili's when the second round was playing out.
re: Dampier - why would he be motivated here? Given his track record and given this team, he would sign a deal and then get hurt or gain weight and be worthless.
De-pressing question day.
Bummed the game won't be aired (or even streamed) Saturday. Sometimes I question why I chose to follow the Sixers over the Phillies.
tk, because you aren't, like most Philly fans, a front runner. I thought it was hilarious when everyone got mad at J-Roll a couple of years ago when he called Philly fans frontrunners. Everyone made excuses and complained.
All you have to do is look at the Sixers now and the Phillies pre-Citizens Bank Park to know the reality. Our fans don't understand that the best way to bring success to a franchise is to support it with ticket/gear purchases. Instead we have people on Philly.com who think "Stiff"anski is the most clever nickname on earth. (not that I disagree with their assessment of Ed, but what an incredibly stupid nickname)
I think the general feeling of Philly fans toward the Sixers is actually slipping from apathy to hatred. If you're on Twitter, do a search for "Sixers" and check it out. I'd say like 75% of the chatter is "F*&% the Sixers," or "Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, screw the Sixers." Stuff like that. Oh, and d-bags talking about how great it's going to be seeing the Heat on opening night.
Or Philadlephia hasn't been a basketball town for decades contrary to the meme people keep spouting that it is. It's a football/hockey/baseball/ COLLEGE basketball town but it's not really an NBA town.
I don't know. The FU Center was completely insane during Iverson's prime.
Playoff games I went to there were the best playoff atmosphere I've ever witnessed. Better than the the clinching game of the World Series, in fact, and I'm talking about a first round game against Orlando. Attendance was near the top of the league too.
I think it's just a matter of fans being fickle, relatively poor, and having multiple options on where to spend their sports entertainment dollars. Put a crappy product on the floor, and the other options look better.
I don't know. The FU Center was completely insane during Iverson's prime.
Sure, people show up for winning or for superstars, for the show, but what percentage of sixers 'fans' show up for mediocrity (or worse) compared to mediocre eagles/flyers/phillies teams.
A teams popularity in relation to the other teams in the city is defined not when they're winning, everyone loves winners and the super star show, but when they're losing. How are they drawing in the down years?
About the same as the Phillies were drawing 10 years ago. 13th of 16 teams in the NL. Philadelphia isn't a baseball town either, unless the Phils are winning.
Put a crappy product on the field, you aren't going to draw. Unless you're the Eagles, I guess. Pretty sure they sold out even in the Ray Rhodes days.
What was the perecentage. That's usually what I look at. Then again, the phils were in the vet when they stank too and the vet sucked. Be interesting to see what happens when they are over paying ryan howard and the team isn't as good in the CBP
What do you mean by percent? They were at 1.6M fans/year, so under 20K/game.
Percentage of seats filled, but that's pretty crappy - the vet sat way too many people for a baseball game. That's under 40% I think
The Vet fit 64,000.
Then 20K is under 40% :)
I think you are right though, I feel the Vet made up for a lot of those empty seats, as it was a dump by its later years. Plus, the Braves won like 15 division titles in a row, so there was no hope to win and they hadn't done it for a long while (Not defending this, but it is better than how the Sixers dropped). One CBP opened though, they had good attendance, and that was in '04 I believe. I actually think this run of Phillies success is going to by them more time if they fall back for a year or two. People will still come.
As for Philly, a lot of bandwagon Sixers fans that jumped on and off the Iverson bandwagon (these same people were very excited for one game last year). Best college hoops town and the high school hoops are very big as well. Not really a pro hoops town.
The phillies have been competitive since CBP opened there haven't been any lean CBP years yet so nothing really to look at just yet.
In a few years when the roys are on the downside, the phils are over paying howard and rollins and utleys injuries catch up to him we'll see how it goes.
Here's the thing about the Iverson era...many of those fans (I think) were not sixers fans but Iverson fans. They loved to watch this scrappy little guy in a world of giants dominate. It's great for attendance but you don't always win and the team holds on to him (4 years) too long
I don't really have another era to compare it to in philly. I know people talk about a playoff clincher not being sold out back in the early 80s (I believe), but I was too young to remember what support was like at the time.
In Barkley's prime, attendance wasn't great.
Were the sixers that good in barkley's prime? I don't think barkley alone was the draw that an Iverson was.
They won 58 his rookie year (that team was still stacked, but older), then 53 in the year I linked to above. Made the playoffs every year but one while he was in Philly.
When I started to follow the Sixers in the late 70's, they led the league in road attendance (because of Dr. J and Darryl Dawkins) but their home attendance was spotty. In the 1980-81 season, they played a home Game 7 against the Bucks in the Eastern Conference semis and drew around 7500 fans (and the capacity was 18,276 in the Spectrum). So Philly was an even worse pro basketball town back then (to be fair, then NBA wasn't as prominent back then either). By the way, the Sixers won that Game 7 by 1 point, so people missed a great game.
When people say Philly is more of a hockey town than a (pro) basketball town, they're probably thinking of the late 70's and early 80's when the Sixers won a championship and made three other finals but still were outdrawn by the Flyers, who sold out every game.
Right, now I remember that game. The Phillies were playing in town the same day. I think it was Game 7 against Milwaukee in '81. Great series by the way. It was the closest Nellie ever got to the Finals, I think.
The attendance was less than 7,000 if I remember correctly.
I second that Brian! I was at the clinching game against the Magic in '99 - insanity. Great experience.
Its not for lack of trying. I want to jump on the Phillies bandwagon,because they are a great team and fan friendly. But I just lack the emotional investment that I put into the Sixers (and to a lesser extent the Eagles.) I remember the high after winning game 1 against the Lakers- and nothing the Phillies do is able to spark more than deep respect- because I bailed on that franchise 10+ years ago (strike time.) While the Sixers I watch through good and mostly) bad.
Fact is, as an adult you typically don't have the time or energy to be fully invested in more than 1 or 2 teams. I just have the feeling that I picked the wrong horse.
It does become much, much harder to follow all three sports with the same gusto you did in your youth, agree with that 100%.
I'm with ya.
I'm an odd ball though because I joined the Sixers about 2 weeks into Andre Miller's tenure here. I loved his game and the Sixers made a nice 2nd half run the year Iverson left.
They went from 3 to a distant 1 in a matter of about 3 weeks for me. I am only emotionally invested in the Sixers. The Phillies and Eagles I enjoy... but Roy's no hitter did nothing to me compared to Iguodala's 3 against the Lakers. I'm so stupid sometimes...
Let's not forget, the Sixers management has a tendency to do very dumb things. Big money on Elton Brand was required at the time to bring fans to the games, I get that - but bringing retreads like Eddie Jordan to this team and having a weak scouting department makes me believe they just don't care.
Ownership seems to care. The question is, what do they care about? They care about gimmicks to get fans in the seats (signing Iverson). They care about saving money (the Dalembert trade). They care about...hmmn...well, they care about hockey.
They care about what most corporate owners who answer to stockholders care about.
If they think investing more cash will develop legit fan interest (and help their cable network and branding) then they will likely go over the tax.
But it has been many years since adding another few pieces would result in a big enough bump in wins to generate fan interest.
You can be a profitable NBA team and still stink. It's easier to be profitable following the Sterling method.
However, how much do the sixers get from the local tv rights since ownership owns the tv rights? That's not an asset they have to sell for whatever minimal money it might bring in? The clippers may stink but Fox Sports West (or FSW2 I forget which one) still pays money to air their games.
It's a zero sum game, though. FSW has to pay for the content, Comcast gets their hoops games for free.
FSW pays that money to the clippers though, that boosts the clippers income.
No one gives comcast money to broadcast the sixers games, so that's less income for the sixers specifically. (I don't know how corporations such as comcast works that, maybe they artificially indicate a payment from comcast sportsnet to the sixers as two different subsidiaries. In the end it's comcast money but it's 'income' for the sixers and an 'expense' for CSN)
The point I made poorly was that the clippers get money for airing their games that the sixers (alone) don't. The FSW expense doesn't impact the clippers bottom line negatively
Comcast owns the stadium, right?
The accounting in incestuous sports relationships like this can get ridiculous. Like, when they sit down to renegotiate the CBA, the Sixers can charge themselves an absurd rent for the building and then give them nothing for the TV rights, and make themselves look like they're losing money hand over fist.
I believe comcast owns the stadium as well yes. In my 'fantasy' where I buy the sixers I have to offer comcast an obscene amount of money because of all the assets involved before I sell of the flyers and make them move to south jersey :)
The Phils getting high ratings on CSN generates income for Comcast and raises the profile of CSN Philly. They could make even more money if they liscenced the rights to CSN Philly to Dish, DirectTV and other cable providers- but instead they use it to drive Comcast's local cable monopoly by forcing Philly metro residents to give up Phillies games if they use anyone other than Comcast.
The same benefits would come from a winning/popular Sixers team, except they get it for free instead of having to pay the Phillies.
This separates the finatial adbvantage garnered from a popular Sixers tema as opposed to the clippers- whose success could never be as fully leveraged by Sterling like Comcast can.
Verizon must pay out the nose but they carry the comcast channels - and it is glorious.
I think ownership cares on some level- given how many coaches they have cycled through. They also supported a top 4-7 payroll throughout the AI era.
I believe its more incompetence than anything. Look at the past 4 seasons and tell me they have not been blind?
1. 2007: team has the NBA's worst record and about to trade AI. But instead of going young and playing out the string for a shot at Oden/Durant they trade for Miller and Joe Smith... finsih off the year on a 22-11 run and jump into mediocrity.
2. 2008-9: They keep Andre Miller around until he can walk. get nothing back. And go into the next year Lou Williams and the youngest player in the NBA (who played SG/SF in college) as their PG's. They lucked out with Jrue being ready so quickly, but still, it screams incompetence.
3. 2010: After missing out on some promising true centers that slipped like De'Andre Jordan (and flat out selling the Fasenko pick 2 years earlier), they fail to draft a center in a year where 6 legit center prospects are drafted between picks 29-50 (and that's ignoring Cousins and Favors: Orton, Plieb, Pittman, Jordan, Whiteside and Alabi.) Ironically they get the #21 pick for Green, and yet still don't have a Center beyond Hawes and Speights.
And then there is their strange fascination with accumulating wings. Iguodala, Turner, Meeks, Young, Carney, Kapono, Byars, Nocioni, Jones and Rush have been the good, bad and ugly... and have represent the bulk of the teams draft picks, FA signings and trades over the past 4 seasons. That just seems like a ton of mid level resources, when maybe 1 or 2 project 7 footers would have seemed the wiser choice?
Turner needs to be a starter. He gets to the line, defends well, and rebounds well. Collins is making bonehead move #1 if Turner begins the season on the pine.
This has Elton Brand written all over it...
Via NYT:
In discussing the NBA's negotiation of a new collective bargaining agreement with the players union, David Stern emphasized the league's interest in giving teams greater flexibility to get out from under contracts that prove to be unwise investments.
The commissioner noted a desire to "come up with a system where teams are not doomed by their past mistakes for inordinate lengths of time, so the fans can have hope."

I forgot what hope feels like...
We felt it the day Jordan was given the boot. Lasted until the Dalembert trade.
Oh come on. You know there's a (largeish) portion of the dedicated sixers fans who gained more hope than they lost when Dalembert was traded and they still believe Hawes is better.
I'm jaded from that trade.
The Reggie Evans traded angered me. (I know most liked it. I still think it cost the Sixers like 5-8 games because Kapono is just so bad)
The Sammy trade was just ridiculous. A Carmelo acquisition and I'd walk away.
I guess a question I have is who is your backup team? The team you will quietly root for to succeed once the Sixers are out of the playoffs when they are 8-22 to start the season?
I'm thinking Golden State. I think they make the playoffs this year. Biedrins, Wright, and Wright will have to stay healthy though and Radmon will hopefully not stay healthy.
(I know most liked it. I still think it cost the Sixers like 5-8 games because Kapono is just so bad)
So you think the sixers would have been 5-8 games better last year with reggie evans?
My back up team used to be whomever ronny turiaf was playing for...can't do that any more cause, well, it's the knicks and that's just impossible.
Crap now I have to find a new back up team
Yeah, I do think that. Seems crazy but Kapono just flat out killed this team last year. He is just such a terrible overall player. At least Evans gains possessions for his teams typically.
Now that's a bandwagon
I'm pretty jaded, almost never root for someone once the Sixers are done, I'm always rooting against someone. So I guess my team would be whoever is playing the Heat this season, then whoever is playing the Celtics, then whoever is playing the Lakers.
A couple teams I'd like to see do well are Phoenix and Utah. Phoenix, because I want Nash to get the finals. Utah because I like Sloan.
Like a true philadlephian...who remembers the t-shirts that said something like
"I root for two teams, Temple and whoever is playing Villanova"
Villanova would be easier to root for if their fans weren't either: a. the least knowledgeable hoops fans ever or b. knowledgeable but arrogant as they come. I still root for them in the Big East though.
It's always bugged me that Villanova was part of the 'big 5' (6)
Why? Are you that much of a stickler for the city borders?
Well I grew up on the main line but I always felt that around Radnor (hate radnor) or so that the main line ended and you were just too far away from the city to be part of philadlephia.
Plus i really really hate Villanova :)
Where'd you grow up? I'm from Lower Merion so I'm on the Main Line too.
Same place, near down the road from merion mercy
I don't have a backup team in this sport.
My backup team for hating is the Knicks.
Yeah, and I thought we got the better of that deal....
I still think stern is hoping for a year long lock out to break the union.
Here's an interesting question. If all the Sixers players crossed the picket line, and the other teams all had to use scabs, are we a lock for a championship? I say 50/50.
Barcelona might give us a 7 game series if we played them.
Demarcus Cousins was pretty bad last night. Fouled out in 21 minutes. 15 pts on 5-14 shooting, only 3 boards, had 3 turnovers, and was a -15.
Favors fouled out too.
I was watching the box score last night of that game. Did you see Blake Griffins line? After the first half he had 18 pts and 13 boards. Nuts.
At least some of the other rookies seem to be taking their lumps just like Et. Now we just need 1 solid showing from Evan and I'll be able to take my finger off the panic button.
Has Sammy D played for them yet. Or is he injured?
He hasn't played. Is he hurt? Guy hasn't missed a game in three or four years.
I don't know. I noticed he wasn't in the first game but I saw no mention of an injury anywhere maybe that just 'know what he can do' so they're making sure he don't get hurt (Or shopping him :)
Course, there's news today I didn't find yesterday
Day to Day with hip thing
I hope he's used in a package for a blockbuster deal. That would be the capper.
Evan Turner forever!
Hawes won't play Saturday, I'll take any good news I can get.
You would think his gut would be able to support his back.
Anyone see Ted Leonsis' 101 things to improve for the franchise?
I am so jealous of the Wizards new owner. Night and Day compared to the Sixers.
How much of the Capitals success is because they drafted the right kid and mighty convenient that the new owner not threatening to move his team from their home got the #1 pick.
The NBA ain't the NHL - unless he hires smart basketball people he's as useful as jerry jones
So you just said he was lucky because he got the first pick in hockey and forgot he walked into the exact situation with the Wizards and John Wall.
Even their first offseason with him was good. Stashed away Seraphin, got Yi, reunited with Gil.
You are a silly guy. If he surrounded himself with smart hockey people don't you think he'll do the same in basketball while doing everything to please the customers? They are already thinking of going back to the Bullets name.
He'll quickly become one of the top 3 owners in the NBA.
mighty convenient that the new owner not threatening to move his team from their home got the #1 pick.
Sorry that wasn't clear enough as it referred to the NBA #1 pick.
You think Gilbert Areanas is a positive on the Wizards roster?
Oh I see. It's rigged.
Yeah, it was probably rigged. I thought you meant he wanted to leave and I was like "Why would Leonsis want to leave"
I obviously can't read.
But I am all for it being rigged for Leonsis. That team will get turned around very quickly now.
I think Gil will be able to play alongside Wall at his Natural shooting guard position. How many more years does he have? Oh man 4 more years of Gil.
That is an ugly contract. But Gilbert when healthy is an outstanding player. He's just had the worst luck on the court and made a stupid mistake off it last year. That year off is going to help him a lot.
Maybe if our owner wasn't such a dickface it would have been rigged for him.
Here is a VERY pressing question: which words that start with T are most likely to get a strategically colored/highlighted/whatever "*S*pencer *H*awes *I*s *T*_____" sign shown on-air during a game broadcast??
Notable preseason stats tonight:
Continued dominance for Blake Griffin - 23 and 9, 10-15 shooting. Could have had 30 had he made his freethrows. Aminu scored 13 but did so inefficiently. Luke Babbitt, 16th pick in the draft, scored 18 on 9 shots and made four threes. Shelden Williams had 21 and 14 for Denver, proving that the preseason is at least somewhat meaningless, LeBron and Bosh continue to play well together, Greg Monroe was ineffective, so was Paul George, and Wall was outplayed by Derrick Rose but had a decent game.
Aldrich looked like a solid role player for Okl. City against Miami with good screens and a couple of blocks.
Game on in less than 2 hrs. Or more accurately- game NOT on.
I'm in Newark for Sixers-Nets preseason game at 1 p.m.
Collins pregame: "When you start trying to draw up a half-court offense ... When you don't have a dominant low-post player and you're not a great shooting team, it's like, 'OK, what do we do?' That's what I'm in the process of trying to sort through now."
Yep. Reality check.
big time
More Collins: "We're behind offensively right now. I think a lot of that is so much of our focus has been a defensive mindset and getting the seeds planted. What ends up happening is you go somewhere and things maybe you think might work with a team – you start running 'em and after two or three days you go, 'This just doesn't fit this team.' You lose two or three days and try to find something else. Really, I've spent the last two or three days with my coaches just, 'What can we do for this team? How can we help this team?' Because we're not a great shooting team. We've got to find ways to slash and cut.
"Our defense has to be good enough where we can get some turnovers, where we can rebound well enough to get in the open court. One of the things we've tried to do the last two days was practice our half-court (offense) execution. Because teams are going to pack it in against us. I'm hoping as we get acclimated to what we're doing, our shooing will improve and guys will be more aggressive looking for their shots."
What I like in these comments is Collins isn't a slave to his system, if he has one, unlike the previous coach. He tried something, it didn't work, he'll try something else. This season isn't about winning a title so much as finding what (and who) works, so if they take a while to find the best offensive system, I'm ok with that as long as they don't try and fit the square pegs (players) into the round holes (system)
Collins said Nocioni (sprained left ankle) would play some today after scrimmaging for first time yesterday.
Sixers starting Holiday, Turner, Iguodala, Young and Brand in small lineup. Hawes out with strained lower back.
That's interesting, so Collins goes back to Iguodala at the three and Thad at the four.
Looking at the play-by-play, lot of jumpers in the first quarter, but night and day better than the other night.
Collins kept saying Young would only play 3 in preseason.
If this was politics, he'd be called a flip flopper.
But I'm fine with him trying to find the best combination- although I want Thad to play SF.
I agree.
Sixers up 24-15 at end of first quarter.
Spotty wireless - can't send courtside.
Nocioni was first sub, with Williams second. Turner came back in and was paired with Lou in backcourt at quarter's end.
18-14 NJ on boards.
15-47 1st half shooting.
Yup. That's worse than 32.4 percent coming in. Sixers down 45-38 at halftime. Just 1-for-6 from 3-point land (Nocioni 0-for-3).
5-for-22 from field in second quarter ...
Could Collins essentially be asking for some help (i.e. a trade)?
Who could we possibly give in return for this help? Teams want Andre but that wouldn't help. Some teams must be high on Speights still, I suppose.
The last thing I want is for this team to try and make some patchwork trades to get veterans in here so we can be an 8 seed though. If they stink, they stink. Growing pains.
Looks like Evan is getting a little more comfortable out there
From the box, it looks like Iguodala asserted himself in the third. Sixers took the lead. Brand and Thad are actually rebounding now as well.
Really wish I could've seen what they did to defend Lopez, he's got 6 turnovers.
Really like what I see from Thad's line, most notably the 7 boards and 4 assists.
Evan is a +17
Jrue isn't really having the preseason one would have expected after his summer league performance.
Was about to say the same thing. Very strange. I can see struggling against Rondo but he should be able to match up well with Harris.
Lopez had 18 points, but looks very slow -- methodical would be a nicer word. He's also touched the ball a lot because they run their offense through him.
Collins has shortened is rotation, playing his starters 25-plus minutes apiece and only one sub (Williams) more than 14. Only eight guys have gotten in after half.
Turner's floor game looks impressive from the box score.
76-77 Anthony Morrow lost ball (Andre Iguodala steals)
5:45 Jrue Holiday makes driving layup 78-77
5:22 78-77 Terrence Williams lost ball (Evan Turner steals)
5:20 Andre Iguodala makes dunk (Evan Turner assists) 80-77
5:20 New Jersey full timeout
Elton's is 2-11. Yikes.
i like turner's iguodala impersonation. 12 pts, 5 rbs, 7 asts, 4 steals, 1 block.
Why is Nocioni on the floor. What has he done to deserve these minutes over Thad right now
Yup. Iguodala just taken out. 20 points, seven boards in 40 minutes.
Really small group now -- Holiday, Williams, Turner at 3, Nocioni, Brand.
40 minutes in a preseason game for Iguodala?
Glad they have been monitoring his minutes...
They 'need' a win :)
wow 5 steals for ET
phone home
Have a feeling that's going to become a standard tag line
Hey Tom, could you state how Turner plays? Is the box score a good indicator this time? Also how does this S5 looked on the defensive end?
very impressive rebounding today for a team that does not have a legit big
2-12 from 3. So what are they new, like 6 for 55?
Tuner 14/6/7/6
And team leading +18 suggests he meshed well with his teammates.
they actually won a game without having to shoot 55 % from the field. amazing.
Spoke a bit too soon :)
they should probably try to get ET the ball on one of these inbounds plays...
Wow. Shot clearly good. Gave up three 3s in final 13 seconds to lose, 90-89.
How many were because of our tough Argentinian?
I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Having Nocioni on the floor during crunch time, even though he is statistically one of the worst defenders in the league.
No, Iguodala and Turner had already played 40 minutes- so Collins had taken them out of the game.
Young didn't play that much in the 4th quarter I don't think. Not sure why Nocioni got any of his minutes in the 2nd half. Thad looks like he played really well from the box score
Great job tk76 & rosz et al - thanks
Not sure about anyone else but I found myself wishing that ET would get the ball on the inbounds over anyone else out there. I've got the most confidence in him to knock down his free throws over anyone else on the squad.
Turner was in at the end. Young and Iguodala were on the bench.
Collins: "I was just discouraged for our guys. We did so many good things."
Collins: "I just wanted to see (the small lineup) with Spencer out. ... It doesn't make sense to play our big lineup if we're going to big and slow and not rebound."
Ouch. Not the best endorsement for our bigs
Collins on Holiday: "He's struggling. I don't know if he's putting too much pressure on himself."
Holiday shot 2-for-9 from field (0-for-2 from 3), 1-for-3 from line with six rebounds, two assists, three turnovers, two steals.
In three preseason games, Sixers are averaging 83.3 points and shooting 74-for-221 (33.5 percent) from the field, including 6-for-46 (13 percent) from 3-point range.
It still sucks but it's 38.9 if they would stop taking threes
20.8% of attempted shots are threes on a team with no 3 point shooters, that's just dumb
Gotta institute the grand a three for Iggy and Thad rule.
Those guys shouldn't be taking threes, ever.
In other news, YAY TURNER.
Holiday is 2-for-10 from 3;
Young 0-for-5;
Meeks 0-for-7;
Iggy 2-for-8;
Nocioni 0-for-5 (all today);
Williams 2-for-5 (only guy above 25 percent).
Meeks and Williams I am okay with shooting threes. One of the few things Lou can do is shoot tres.
Meeks should be shooting open corner threes. No idea why he is shooting 7 bricks.
Iggy needs to start getting fined though. 8 threes from him is ridiculous.
I am curious as to what these threes look like. I just imagine the offense not getting into place because we don't have one and someone just jacking one up.
Most, IMO, are ill-advised. Nocioni's were wide-open, but he doesn't have his legs after being out for so long with the sprained ankle. They also shoot too many long 2s.
Iggy needs to start getting fined though. 8 threes from him is ridiculous.
Not sure where the 8 threes stat came from, but I'm pretty sure Tom Moore was wrong. Iguodala went 2-3 in his last game and 0-2 in his first game and didn't play in the middle game. So, 2-5, 40%. No doubt, some people will still think 5 three's is too many over two games, even if he shoots 40% ...
For Iggy, yeah, 5 threes is way too many.
It's kinda disappointing that a dummy like Josh Smith can go from shooting threes at an Iggy like rate and then just stop shooting them entirely for half a year.
Iggy hit some jumpers in third from 16 feet or so. Turner played well off the ball. Holiday was quiet afterward.
Iggy said he thinks the set offense is getting better and he is confident it will be fine.
I wonder how much better the Nets will be this year. It never entirely made sense to me that they were so bad last year.
Injuries played a huge part in it I think (devin harris) and then it's just builds up oon you I think. I believe if they stay healthy they'll be a lot better this year.
Iguodala afterward: "You take some good things and bad things out of (today's game). Hopefully, we learned a lot. Our defense is going to get us going; that philosophy works for any team. We need to get better at communicating, covering for each other, and putting ourselves in a better position to rebound. We have some room to progress and get better. That's what preseason is for."
Collins: "It was a great learning tool. Better it happened now than in a regular-season game."
Hmmm, didn't see the game, but is anyone else a little surprised that Turner has his best game (that really includes Summer League too), when he finally gets his shot to play in between Iguodala and Jrue. Tom, would you say that he had the ball in his hands a lot tonight? That's an excellent all around game from him today.
It seems like Thad was excellent today at the 4, his rebounding numbers being good. We've all talked about Thad at the 3, but does anyone see Collins sticking with this for awhile? I hate to say it, but Thad looks like a good option at the 4 compared to Hawes at the 5. Besides one facet of their games, EB (shooting) and AI9 (passing) had nice lines. EB's rebounding was impressive. I feel that Iguodala's assists will drop a little with two other playmakers, but he had a real nice game today.
Negatives- The whole bench, Nocioni (0-5 from three, but he was tough!) and Jrue. What are Jrue's looks like Tom? Nine shots seems a little much, no?
At least fro reading the play by play- there were a number of consecutive serieswhen Turner, Iguodala and Jrue generated steal that resulted in easy baskets. Hopefully this bodes well for the 3 meshing on the defensive end- which is every bit as important as their success in the set offense.
We talked at length about the defensive potential of this three last year even before the lottery. I'm not sure Turner's ready to be more than an average defender right now (although I do think he has potential to be one down the road), but he should be able to force turnovers and ignore the break right from the beginning.
With 5 solid guards our coach should spread the minutes around and pressure the ball [ 1/2 court area] for 48 minutes a game. It makes up for the weakness [ interior defense] and as an aside may be exciting to watch and put people in the seats.
The ball was in Holiday's hands most of the time, but Turner did a nice job moving without it and he had it.
Have to consider Nets' motivation or lack in preseason vs. team they disposed of previous week before getting excited about any box score numbers. A 'beautiful football Fall Saturday afternoon' clash in Newark against unformed Sixers. Can't imagine Nets' juices flowing. Conversely, Sixers were trying to rise from two humiliations, yet ultimately didn't. Though Comcast-blinded, I see yesterday's game, including final seconds cough-up, as instructive of little but maybe a hint of the overrating of Doug Collins as bandleader.
SHOOTING guard numbers - 39 minutes, 4 field goals - won't get it done.
I'm not worried about the coach's last minute rotations in the preseason.
Seems like the Sixers really tried hard to win this game against a team that won 12 games last year. And they STILL lost. Is it possible the Sixers may be even worse this year ?
Some of the Jersey writers were wondering what kind of season to expect for the Sixers after Saturday's game. It's still too early to tell, but looks like Collins is realizing there's even more work to do than he expected.
By the way, who was guarding Turner? Because if it was Anthony Morrow, that detracts a bit from the game he had. Morrow's a poor defender and gives up a few inches to Turner.
Hoopsworld article on Turner. Some interesting comments from assistant coach Brian James, but mostly stuff we have all heard before.
"Arguably, our best player is a point guard in Jrue Holiday, so Evan's going to play with him off the ball," James continued. "He'll have the ball in his hands maybe 30% of the time, but when he doesn't have the ball we need him to run the wing, guard the two guard, and attack the basket when he comes off screens and knock down his jumpshot."
Arguably our best player is Holiday? Already?
Arguably the second best player for the second half of last season. But Iguodala is clearly the best player on the team.
I really don't think you can even legitimately make that argument. The kid has a ton of promise, but best case scenario, he's a year or two away from reaching Iguodala's level and the odds are probably against him ever reaching level if we want to be completely realistic.
I think he'll do it, but to say he's arguably the best right now is just absurd. The coaches are applying too much pressure with these statements, IMO.
Yeah this moron is an assistant coach... great.
He thinks Jrue could be our best player. That is just silly and stupid.
I mean this is kind of incredible, a guy who averaged 8 and 4 last season and hasn't even played well in the preseason is arguably our best player? What an awful team we must have. Personally I think his chances of becoming a top 5 point guard in the league are more like 15% than whatever some people think they are, but even if he was a lock to be that one day, it sure hasn't happened yet.
Fagan- "Andres Nocioni's game is going to become a fan favorite. He's all about playing hard. If you watch him for a possession, you see him seeking out contact at every opportunity. He's never missing a boxout, or not battling inside for an offensive rebound. He's scrambling on defense. He hit one smooth-looking outside shot, but he's still a little rusty from all of his missed time. Once he gets back into the flow, he's going to give this team a much-needed presence for about 20 minutes a game."
Even though he shot 0-5 from three, toughness! Haircut! Mullet!
She forgot to mention that he never fails to let his man blow right by him off the dribble.
"He's scrambling on defense"
Sounds about right...
Question: How is it possible to short yourself 12 wins when the player you trade away only produces 10?
Answer: This is only possible if the player you trade for produces negative 2.
Conclusion: Fortunately, as Sixers fans, this kind of thing would never happen to us.
When did willie green produce 10 wins in a season?
Not sure. Maybe in high school if he played in a crappy division.
Lol somehow I don't see scrambling on defense as a positive even though they list it as one, more like scrambling backward as his man flies by him for the layup. As for his much needed presence, I agree it should help us secure that lottery pick for next year.
In other news: It seems Brackins is now eating at Chili's as well. The front office must have recommended it when he asked about places to eat.
I like Fagan and think she does a great job, but I hope we don't get this BS with Nocioni the whole year. I'm no fan of Iguodala jacking threes, but he shoots well yesterday and his shots are described as forced and basically ugly, but Nocioni makes one of eight and it's OK because it is 'smooth.'
Yup I'd say his game is about as smooth as Argentinian facial hair.
Tough, chippy, plucky, gutsy, furry.
When eating in that immediate area, I prefer to go to Chun Hing. Actually, I saw someone we were working out there a week or two before the draft. I couldn't really tell who he was.
I am probably the only one watching preseason basketball today instead of baseball or nfl right now, but there is something inherently blissful seeing jason smith travelling and willie green airballing a jumper in hornets uniforms.
just a warm tingly feeling that i probably shouldn't have. regardless of yesterday's loss, no more GT green...
Yeah I'm checking out some of the Hornets game too. And on a more positive note I gotta say Jason Smith looks GREAT in powder blue. I mean really, really tremendous. :)

True Essence of Resourcefulness (Via the Coconut)
In Sri Lanka, the coconut is, in a sense, a source of life. Not only it is the main ingredient in most Sri Lankan dishes, but the entire coconut tree — From the roots to the coconut itself to the tips of the leaves — plays a major role in the non-culinary ways of life. Without the coconut, things in Sri Lanka would be very different. We spent the day with a family of 8 on their coconut plantation outside of Negombo, where they showed us all this fruit (nut?) has to offer.

Is it worth voting? – A debate for our times
Is it worth voting? – A debate for our times
In a world of ever-growing economic inequality and accelerating climate change, questions are being raised about the ability of the current political system to respond adequately to such complex challenges. Can a parliamentary system based on adversarial politics take significant action to re-distribute wealth and adopt a green economy, or have developments over the past few decades weakened the ability of law-makers to make the necessary radical changes to society? Does voting in a general election promise real change and democratic participation, or simply more of the same old party politics? What has happened to the major debates between Left and Right? Have these been replaced by a depoliticisation of political processes and their replacement by technical discussions about technocratic problems?
In a public debate chaired by Professor Kevin Clements (National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies), Dr David Clark (MP Dunedin North), Marian Hobbs (former Minister for the Environment), Dr Bryce Edwards (Politics Department, University of Otago), and Professor Richard Jackson (National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies) will explore whether the act of voting remains a meaningful exercise in democracy. Professor Jackson is clear in his position: "Voting is a largely meaningless ritual which expresses the form but not the content of democracy", he says. "The political system is today largely incapable of helping us deal with climate change or inequality. Worse than that, the widespread belief that voting equals democratic participation actually infantilises and disempowers us as individuals. The idea that if we just vote for the right politician or political party, they will ride in to save us, is hopelessly misguided, in my view."
On the other hand, the question remains: are there alternatives to voting? Can citizens participate meaningfully in politics apart from the current electoral system? Or, are there meaningful ways to reform the current political system to make it more responsive and responsible? The debate is open to all members of the public, and promises to be a lively and informative exploration of all these important issues.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun's harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.
Vein is simple-minded and quiet, preferring to keep to himself. He isn't cold, nor is he friendly. He is sensible and ordinary, not liking exciting things, and not enjoying boring things either. He is skilled fairly well all around and is ranked average in the clan, being a young adult. He sometimes comes across as shy, but is actually just not very talkative.

The Caleb Beal House is an ideal location to stay if you are visiting Boston (30 mins by commuter boat) Cape Cod or touring New England.
Hingham is a beautiful and historic New England town with all the amenities you love on your vacation including lovely restaurants, cafes and local shops and stores. The house is downtown and mostly everything is within walking distance. The harbour and town beach are at the end of the street.
The Caleb Beal House was built in 1832 by Caleb Beal. We are still investigating his life but we believe he was sea captain. The house was built as a single or a double residence and was rented to visiting sea captains over the years. Hingham harbour was busy with trade and numerous sailing ships at that time. Hingham is a historic town for many reasons and it is notably where the early Pilgrims settled and home to the Lincoln family.
Enjoy the ambiance of this antique house, cheerful and comfortable with fresh crisp linens and hard wood floors throughout. There is a cozy screened porch overlooking a small garden area; a wonderful way to relax on your New England vacation.

we've been coming to this area for more than 20 years...thank you for making this house so inviting . spent time with family...walked in Hingham and Scituate. breakfast and coffee on the porch.....sunny ,hot,humid at first...cool breeze cooled everything down most evenings...this is the first time we have rented a house...we would definitely do it again!
Got really lucky with this lovely property, also the town of Hingham is a jewel. Perfect mix of access to Boston city fun and small town charm and New England beach. Very comfortable and convenient.
Family and friends visited here in June, and thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Absolutely wonderful accommodations. Lovely house...comfortable and very well equipped. They thought of everything! Nice being able to walk to local shops and restaurants. Highly recommend this charming house. Thank you.
This house is immaculate - it's like stepping back in time, but much more comfortable, with all the mod cons! Tom and Millie couldn't be nicer or more accommodating and helpful. Hingham is so gorgeous, it's like a film set. Getting the ferry across to Boston is really lovely too (after catching a bus to the ferry). Can't really say enough positive things about our stay here. Special mention for one of the comfiest beds you'll ever sleep in too!!
What an amazing experience it was to stay in this house while we were touring historical sites. The house is simply beautiful and the owners, Tom and Millie, are very kind and have added little touches to the house to make your stay even more pleasant - like sand buckets, beach towels and chairs, grilling equipment if you want to use their grill, plenty of towels and blankets...and the kitchen is fully equipped (minus the two glasses our daughter broke...oops). It's a great place for families, and easily accessible to Boston, Plymouth, and Cape Cod. The house was very clean! And there is just something about an old house like this...a charm to it you can't get anywhere else, a sense of history. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. If we ever have the opportunity to return to the Boston area, this is where we will stay!
We spent 5 nights in this delightful property. Although the house is split to provide accommodation for Tom and Milly (the lovely owners) and the part which is let, the "join" is difficult to see and was not an issue for us at all. The house is very well appointed, with quality items, and contains eveything which you could possibly want. A super grocery is located 5 minutes walk away. The surrounding area and towns provided attractive scenery and plenty of interest, with great food available. We would have no hesitation in staying here again if we return to New England.
A lovely place to stay in Hingham. Very charming home, easy access to activities and ferry. Once they installed the window air conditioning things cooled down greatly. Owners live next door with access via doors throughout home, but they are locked and very private. Owners were very kind and helpful. Lovely backyard patio and screened in porch. Bathrooms a bit small and were not stocked with basics like shampoo and conditioner. Would have been a nice touch. Also, there is no laundry capability on the property, you have to go to a public laundry which makes it very inconvenient. Would recommend they install a small washer and dryer on the property as this would make a huge difference when staying for more than a day or two. Additionally, the TV in the front living room was so small that unless you were sitting within 5 feet of it, it was really hard to watch anything. Highly recommend the TV be upgraded to a much larger screen and perhaps placed over the fireplace. Simply way too small to enjoy any programming. Would recommend this property just keep in mind the above noted items.
The South Shore area of Boston is a beautiful region offering many activities including:
Wonderful coastal drives, boat trips to Boston and local islands,
Traditional 4th of July parade, Road race, Fireworks over the harbour, Concerts indoors and outside, Bell ringing in the Bell Tower, Church events, Tours of homes and gardens, Library
Farmers markets, Craft Fairs, Antiques, Old Ordinary Museum, Historical sites, South Shore Country Club, Hay rides in the Fall, Christmas in the Square.

Contact Lenses
Toric LensesContact Lenses for Astigmatism
Got an astigmatism? Then you'll likely be interested in toric contact lenses. Great advancements have been made over the years to develop contact lenses for people suffering from astigmatism. If you've only worn glasses in the past, then consider making the switch. Toric contact lenses have advanced significantly over the last ten years and have developed exceptional stability. Almost all top contact lens companies now develop contact lenses lenses for astigmatism including Acuvue Oasys for for astigmatism, Biofinity Toric, and Proclear Toric.
Wearing your glasses all the time can become a hassle and they can limit your range of activity. Toric lenses will give you the freedom to play more sports and participate in other activities, even if they are just for occasional use. Don't let your glasses hold you back from what you really want to do. Another thing to consider is that progressive lenses can be expensive and frustrating to replace. If you don't want to rely strictly on your frames, discover the convenience of contact lenses for astigmatism.
With toric contact lenses available in daily wear, disposable, color and rigid lenses, correcting vision for people with astigmatism, myopia or hyperopia has never been easier.

I have an appointment for the filling of mild nasiolabial folds. I am told that one unit will be the maximum needed. My worry is that my high cheek bones may look less pronounced if I fill these lines in. Is it possible that my face will lose definition? Will it also make my face look too full, which I do not want? I just Juvederm to enhance my features.
Less Cheekbone Definition After Juvederm?
Doctor Answers 2
Juvederm for nasolabial folds
Injecting the folds will soften the fold depressions and should not alter the cheek bone prominence at all.
Juvederm for nasolabial folds
Your concern is a valid one, but I think you will still be able to appreciate your nice, prominent cheek bones. A single syringe of Juvederm split between your nasolabial folds should give you a nice, subtle result. If you truly dislike the effect of the filler, it can be resolved with hyaluronidase.
Good luck.
