I actually already posted this as a response to a thread that I realized was very old. So sorry for the double post but I think its a pretty important topic to discuss, and I thought a new thread might help with some responses.
First I want to say that the beauty of this music is that a million differnt people can listen to it and get a million differnt meanings out of it. You cant just put it in a box like you can with other music and say "yep, thats what it means, thats what its about and thats all it will ever be about." But still my ego must try…
The music is great, weve covered that, now lets talk about what it means! What is the story that they are trying to tell us with Nothing Lasts but Nothing is Lost? The more I listen to this the message becomes more and more obvious to me, but I would like to hear other peoples' interpretations as well.
I think its about the perpetual cycle of life and death that we are all caught in right now, or Samsara. Nothing Lasts, we all die sooner or later, But Nothing is Lost, we are reincarnated. It could mean so many differnt things on so many different levels. It could be talking about your actual physical body dieing and being reborn, it could also be talking about the Ego death that so many people experience on high doses of psychadelics. Its about the cycle of life, and that cycle applies on every differnt level. Really we are dieieng and being reborn right now, our cells are constantly dieing and being regenerated. I heard somewhere that every 7? years we are basically a completely new person, all of our cells have been regenerated. It also shows you that life is a paradox, its hard to make sense of it with our limited human brains.
Its not just the title of the cd that makes me think this is what its about of course, I think the songs specifically point to this. In a nut shell I think Nothing Lasts is when you are dieing, or think you are. You will notice the whole feeling of the music changes, the mood changes after Nothing is Lost, it goes into "When Shall I Be Free?" - When i shall cease to be of course! Then it goes to Stamen of the Shamen, reincarnation, or the start of it. Then there is a crazy time lapse/ warp in Connisuer of Hallucinations, Terrence talks about how nothing is lost again, like he did earlier in the cd, it sounds like you are going back in time, like its rewinding, and then you are thrown right back into the thick of it. Its like it goes back to intensity that it had before nothing lasts, before you died. Its a cycle, and i have been stuck in this crazy cycle (or at least a micro cosm of it) while I'm in an altered state. Its almost impossible to explain so Im really hoping others have experienced it as well so i can get some help in explaining this. The best way i can explain it is kinda how the movie Waking Life goes (wich is sampled in the first song). Its like your in a crazy dream, and then you wake up, and your releived at first, but then you realize that you have woken up into another dream, and then you wake up again into yet another dream, and it kinda starts to feel like you are going to be tripping forever. I think this is a microcosm to the way life works.
I havnent even heard this cd the way its supposed to be heard yet (in an altered state) so Im sure I will understand it better when i get a chance to do that. What I've been doing in the meantime to really give it my full attention is listening to it like I'm meditating. Light some candles, burn some sage, and other choice herbs, get my best pair of headphones and forget anything else exists. Also i feel like for some reason when i move to the music or dance to it (even if im sitting down) it helps me understand it better as well.
Anyway, as you can see this CD is blowing my mind! It is so deep, visionary, channeled directly from the source. So yea the music is great but what does it mean to you?

Since E3 many games have receded back into the shadowy depths of development, leaving us eagerly hanging for another announcement. Ready at Dawn's The Order: 1886 was one of the many titles that left us chomping at the bit for more, but since its reveal, things have went dark.

Country music megastar Miranda Lambert took to her personal blog Four the Record on Monday to slam a story that alleged that she underwent weight loss surgery to achieve her talked-about new figure.
Blake Shelton's wife, 30, shared with fans: "Though I NEVER care what the tabloids have to say about me… I wanted to address this certain story they are running this week and set the record straight. I DID NOT have surgery to lose weight," she said up front. The fiery singer added, "That is ridiculous. I lost my weight the healthy and good old fashioned way. Watching what I eat and working out with my trainer Bill Crutchfield."

This might just be the sweet-tooth version of our favorite holiday side dish: Sweet Potato Cake With Toasted Marshmallow, from bloggers Zach and Clay of The Bitten Word.
For the cake:
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp allspice
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon orange zest plus 1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the frosting:
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tbsp light corn syrup
6 large egg whites
For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use butter to grease the bottom and sides of cake pans; place a circle of parchment paper in the bottom of each pan. Grease parchment and dust with flour, shaking off excess.
Using the smallest holes on a manual grater, or using a food processor, shred sweet potatoes. You should have about three cups. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, sugar, and brown sugar. Stir in oil, eggs, orange zest and juice, vanilla, and shredded sweet potatoes. Mix to combine.
Divide batter into pans and bake on center rack until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Place pans on baking racks and let cool five minutes. Invert pans to remove cake, and let layers cool completely, at least one hour.
For the frosting:
In a small saucepan, bring two cups of water to a boil. Place medium glass bowl on top of saucepan to create a double boiler. Add sugar, bourbon, corn syrup, and egg whites to bowl and heat until sugar is just dissolved, about three minutes. Remove bowl from heat. In a standing mixer, beat mixture on medium-high until stiff glossy peaks form, about five minutes.
To assemble:
Place one cake layer on cake stand or large platter. Cover top with frosting. Place second layer on top. Frost top, and sides, if desired. If not serving immediately, cover and store in a cool place. Prior to serving, use a kitchen torch to heat top of frosting until toasted and brown in places.

And fifteen minutes but -- oil right now at a three month lows so its not only stocks that are going down our first guest Colin all of this a reaction to a global.
Economic slowdown of the fear of one.
Former Shell Oil president John half -- -- joins us now 9577.
For oil is also the founder of citizens for affordable energy.
Really gone down here pretty quickly does it continue -- It's a pretty big sell off obviously just within the last ten days or so.
You know I think people have just been turning bearish over let's say the last two months I think the jobless numbers are just very depressing to people.
I think the -- of -- of the political campaign in this country makes the country look leaderless.
And I think the worries over in Europe.
Particularly with the recent elections all these things combined and I'm all over the country almost all the time and everywhere I go there's a certain.
Just the bearishness about the outlook and I think that's finally caught up with the consumers across the country and the demand for oil is just slipping away.
The demand slipping -- as the economy slows it certainly a currency a story because of how bad things over.
In Europe are you weren't so.
And you're not the only one by the way -- you're -- five dollar -- gallon gasoline camp not that long ago and seem like a lot of people war and boy it does not seem like that will happen now.
You think.
Well it it again it all depends on the economy have made a few things can recover quick quickly enthusiasm could come back.
There could be any number of drivers that we that what happened that would help it along.
But yes a year and a half ago I was looking out into the for future with three plus percent growth.
I think that the nation does not achieve three plus percent growth.
Then it it just is going to be a laggard kind of an economy.
But at three plus percent growth plus China in the high single digits double digits that puts huge pressure on global oil supply.
It could return before the year is out if the economy perks up.
But you know trends never last very long -- high oil prices tend to drive lower oil prices and vice Versa.
Exactly now the to what happened though and our country.
Don't forget about Europe for a second but if you think about Europe and that maybe if that's the reason.
And this is largely a demand story both from -- and Asia but -- also currency story in Europe as the Euro weakens.
What happens in our country of gas prices don't get as high as we thought they will would be -- -- that at some point later.
To put the pendulum back in the other direction help the economy do you think.
Well I think the fact that people have more disposable income.
In their pocket could lead them to make more incremental purchases which could lift the economy a bit take down some of those inventories of the big box stores for example.
But as we would see economic growth.
The supply relationship to demand is so tight globally -- that there would just be an immediate perk up in the prices which then takes disposable income.
Away from the average consumer.
You're not brave enough to make another gas price reduction are you by the end of the year.
All I would I would say the that the economy -- -- to three plus percent growth.
Then we're gonna see gas prices work their way back up again it's just that tighter relationship write -- is tough to tell.
How about what a turn especially the recent economic data John thank you John half Muster with -- --

The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper!
Hemp is useful in a variety of ways. Today, however, Hemp is highly controversial because it looks a lot like the Marijuana plant. United States policy doesn't consistently distinguish between Hemp and the drug plant. This means that the US for the most part, misses out on growing one of the most productive and versatile plants in the world.
In fact, over 25,000 products can be made out of hemp. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp and Ben Franklin actually owned a mill that made hemp paper. It was on hemp paper that Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
It used to be widely grown in the U.S., because the canvas and rope for ships was made out of hemp. Hemp is even able to be applied to cars. Rudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on hemp oil.
Henry Ford experimented with hemp to build his car bodies, because he wanted to build and fuel cars from farm products. Hemp oil used to grease machines and paints, shellacs, resins, and varnishes used to be made of hemp oil.
Hemp has long fibers which make its products stronger than if they were made of wood. Construction products like fiber board, oriented strand board, beams, studs, and posts can all be made from hemp.

New inflation target set
The Chancellor set a new target for inflation of 2.5 per cent, and said the Governor of the Bank of England would have to send an open letter of explanation whenever inflation rose above 3.5 per cent or fell below 1.5 per cent.
"I have tightened up the framework. I have made it more rigorous and I have made it more open," he said.

While -- he is he he has they have a fair amount of skill in putting together very innovative bombs.
Ones that we've seen recently but also as far back -- 2009.
Have a faded airport detection.
Partly because they've used no metallic components.
But also it's interesting that he's been a target of operation attacked by the US for at least three years now he's been able to -- that detection -- you know.
It it's -- sad because you look at the patterns -- al-Qaeda.
And this is the man who they believe was behind the computer cartridge effort in the plains and then after that behind the underwear bomber.
-- -- -- -- -- Both of those failed and we know from watching al-Qaeda over the years that when they fail they just keep working it keep trying to perfect it keep trying to go back and it feels and appears -- the -- evidence -- -- -- he's doing.
Well that that appears exactly what he's doing and again what's -- -- -- is.
Is Ibrahim Alice theory and other bomb makers -- now Heidi integrated pencil -- look like they are watching at the US airport screening system very carefully.
And looking for -- vulnerabilities in the system.
And so that that makes the whole series of efforts to secure our borders and airports extremely important.
-- in 08 you hear a lot that.
Al -- not as direct planes anymore.
You know that they've moved on to other -- -- and we know that they've attacked at western.
A bases in the in the Middle East Abbott -- and he seems to be very serious take.
Very focused on the United States he has a deep seeded hatred according to his intelligence reports.
Against the United States who wants very much to pull something off our home turf Friday.
That's correct a lot of the bombs that Ibrahim -- -- has tried to put together have targeted.
Either American.
Civilian aircraft or in a case few years ago very senior Saudi official which came very close to assassinating him.
But he appears to have a very anti American focus he hates the west he hates American values and would love more than anything to take -- US airplane down.
We know about the drone hit several days ago that was believed to kind of -- some of that evidence that led to this and we've heard all about the double agents incredible story.
In this case.
-- -- what's your take on what works better in terms of snuffing out these plots the drone attacks.
Or possibly you know just continues surveillance and watching these guys and trying to bring them -- -- find out what they now.
Well I think all of the above I think there are some cases where one has actionable intelligence about somebody you can't get there with a team of individuals to capture but you have a drone in the area.
That it may make sense to target using a drone.
I think if you can capture an individual like this and interrogate.
Him or her.
That can be extremely useful as we found with college Sheikh Mohammed the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks -- So -- lot of different ways to do this.
Yeah all right Seth Jones thank you very much -- watching the story thanks Martha around.

Staff Report
BRUSSELS—The European Commission said Tuesday it has opened an in-depth antitrust investigation into United Technology Corp.'s $16.5 billion proposed purchase of Goodrich Corp. on concerns that it could undermine competition in some parts of the aviation-equipment sector, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
United Technologies faces an in-depth probe by European Union regulators into its bid to buy Goodrich Corp. for $16.5 billion amid concerns the deal may harm competition for engine controls and AC power generators.
The European Commission extended its deadline to rule on the deal until Aug. 9 to examine it in greater detail, according to an e-mailed statement. The company said it remains confident the purchase will close by mid-year.
The EU's antitrust commissioner Joaquin Almunia said, "The aviation equipment industry is already concentrated and is characterized by high barriers to entry."
United Technologies, which has aviation brands including Pratt & Whitney engines, agreed to buy Goodrich in September, adding a maker of aircraft landing gear and jet-turbine casings to take advantage of a record surge in commercial plane orders. Goodrich employs about 700 at its aircraft wheel and brake plant in Troy.

One of the most important events in our life is weddings. How they are beginning a new lifestyle to highlight. The wedding cake can be used on this special day is one of the things that make or spoil the day for the couple. Because it is a common symbol for your wedding, a careful choice is needed is a good view and healthy of course.<�over the world turn to celebrities for inspiration. And, on the last wedding, Chelsea Clinton's recent marriage to Marc Mezvinsky has many girls wondering if their wedding cake is delicious and healthy at the same time.
"Our brides were very inspired that Chelsea had a gluten-free cake decided," Andrea Correale, a caterer and event planner, told the news agency source. She added that women who are planning a wedding questioned about other gluten-free menu options.
Although not every bride needs such as dietary restrictions imposed on her kitchen, to search for unique wedding ideas to think outside the box. Sugar-free, organic wedding cakes are always a great way to attract guests to leave room for dessert.
No matter what, brides may choose to emulate Clinton and simply keep their wedding details.
"The ceremony is underestimated, so all eyes were on the bride and groom," Marcy Blum, owner of a wedding and party planning company in New York, told the news agency outlet.

On Tuesday, August 28th a group of the world's fastest, strongest, and funniest superheros stopped by Mission Cliffs for the gym's fun night. Dozens of local climbers headed to the gym dressed as their favorite superhero to participate in a night of raffle prizes and caped climbing. Around 40 super heroes got a chance to win free guest passes to the gym, camping chairs, and a $50 gift card to Sports Basement.
Remi Moehring, one of Mission Cliff's desk staff, thought of the idea after going to a superhero themed party. "I thought of people climbing in capes and thought it'd be amazing."
"And it was amazing," added Heather Campbell, another MC desk staffer.
Mission Cliffs will be having a Fun Night once a month. Members will have a chance to enter a raffle if they participate in the month's costume theme. Next up is October, which will have a Halloween theme. Get the ghoulish costumes ready!

"Great Service"
This place was about the best price I could find. Staff were very helpful. Put out the key for me when we arrived after hours, helped me out greatly by printing a document for me in the morning, free breakfast, gave me directions and a road map. Pretty good if you ask me.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"over priced"
fairly clean but very dated. paint peeling around the exterior, a sure sign of neglect. at $97, a lot to be desired.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
Pretty average. I found the staff to be helpful though, that is the one bright spot here.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"a comfortable stop for the evening"
This motel is dated, but for the price was a great value. It was very clean, and the staff was super nice. We were blocks from restaurants and a coffee shopGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"good for the price"
The area is meh. I met a friend for a ski weekend at Killington. Location was good and the room was decent for the price. Rutland seems to be a little seedy though, but for a couple of guys, it was fine.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"wouldn't recommend"
Unclean, dirty bathroom, non-smoking room smelled of smoke all night, from guests below room. I would not recommend staying here - I won't stay here again.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Comfortable inexpensive stay"
I chose a cheaper place to stay for 2 nights as we were not going to be in the room much more than to sleep so I wasn't expecting any luxury. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Although, the rooms could use some updating, they were clean and comfortable and we had a working TV, refrigerator, microwave, heat and hot water! The staff was very friendly […] and the manager personally made us Belgian waffles in the morning. I would highly recommend if you're on a budget and would be satisfied with a comfortable room without many amenities. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Great management"
Took trouble to mail me the stuff we've forgotten in the room.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Price was right"
We were in town for a football game and the price was right so decided to stay. I expected the motel to be older, as I read the reviews and it is very old. The bathroom was spotless, the beds were clean, (we brought our own pillows), but the biggest drawback for us was the room was very hot and stuffy. There is air conditioning, but it's a cheap in […] window model that doesn't get cold. Overall, the room was clean, which was most important to us. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
Actually I tried to cancel my reservation and was very upset that when I walked into the "actual hotel" the owner told me he could not cancel the reservation and he did not have a contact # for hotels.com. I tried to call from VT but did not have good cell phone service. I explained to the owner that I had to drive back to Boston and would not be able […] to stay but again he said there was nothing he could do! I didn't have my itinerary with me so it was very frustrating to have to pay for the hotel when I did not stay there; the owner should be able to accept the cancellation. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Roadway Inn, Rutland VT"
Two glaring problems: 1. There was . . .solid human refuse. . . in the toilet - ewww. 2. Despite making advance reservations, the room was freezing cold. The room was so slow to heat- up that my daughter actually went to sleep with her winter coat on.Gerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
After checking in my room began to cool. Turned the thermostat to 70 (was off) room got cooler. Heat not working. Went to office and it was 10 minutes before someone came to desk. I was given an electric heater and told they would check my room. The heater warmed the room but it got too hot. It was either on or off so it got real hot while I slept. […] Motel close to busy highway so constant noise from traffic. No one checked the heat while I was in the room and I used the portable heater for the 3 nights I stayed. My room was serviced the day after I checked in but that was it until I left. After Saturday there were no people in the rooms next to me but 5 A.M. Sunday and Monday someone's alarm beeped for 1/2 hour. Got 4 Hrs. sleep those 2 nights as I watched Sun & Mon football. Tub/shower had sliding glass doors. I was hoping to read and relax in hot bath but doors ruined that. To get to the bathroom there was a 18 inch path between the bed and the wall. The internet was good though. But I think they knew my room didn't have heat because as soon as I mentioned my room number they pulled the heater from under the counter ! DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Good overnight stop"
Room was OK, no complaints.Gerçek Expedia misafiri yorumu
This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was very dirty, the filter on the noisy air conditioner looked like it was never changed. The shower was dirty and went from scolding hot to freezing cold. I was so tired from driving from MD all day we just decided to stay and get a few hours of sleep. I WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!! […] I am not being over dramatic either and I am not even looking for a refund, this place is the pitts. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Basic, inexpensive, fair value but NO POOL"
Basic value lodging - no frills, but got a good night's sleep. Did not have unusually high expectations due to the low price (half that of others in the area) - you pretty much get what you pay for. Nonsmoking room was clean and comfortable - bathroom was clean and in good repair. TV/cable, WiFi, in-room fridge, microwave, iron & coffeemaker all clean […] and working. Convenient location on the highway coming into town. Breakfast (in motel office) was pretty limited, but the made-to-order belgian waffles were hot and tasty. Only disappointment - there was a ugly hole in the ground where a pool used to be - pictures of a pool on their website are misleading and should be be removed, and the area should be fenced off so that a child cannot fall in. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
this place is a DUMPGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"simple and cheap hotel"
Basic stuff, old furniture but good sleep. Only the first night I smelled cigs, but not the 2nd night (maybe I got used to it). The location is convenient, close to rutland, and 20 mins to killington. There is basic breakfast included, so if you want to sleep and recoup there for the next ski day, in the cheap, this is good. Nothing else.no romantic […] gettaway or family vacation. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"Super value near Killington"
This property surpasses others in its price range - the room furnishings, linens and carpeting are contemporary and the beds were comfortable. The room was very clean and well-maintained, with expected wear and tear. The bathroom & shower were only place I found this property to fall short - the bathroom has not seen a remodel in ages, it still sports […] a ThermaSol in-room steam bath (alas, the knob to start the steam was gone). The water temperature and pressure went a little funky anytime a toilet flushed (even in another room), and our family of four could have used another towel. DevamıGerçek Hotels.com misafiri yorumu
"A nice cheap place to sleep."
You will notice right away that the hotel is old by it's furniture. Bed was a little springy/lumpy and the pillows were flat. Water pressure in the shower was actually great. Very strong! The room is bigger than most hotel rooms with two beds that I have stayed in before. That's a big plus! I have stayed at nicer hotels, but the rooms are usually cramped. […] There was enough room to put four beds. Room also had a microwave and a small refrigerator. They have great waffles at breakfast!!! DevamıGerçek Expedia misafiri yorumu

How About That: Hitters
I'm busy as hell today running all over the place making sure everything for the National Fantasy Baseball Championship is in place for the event to officially begin late tonight (all the players in the database on the correct teams, etc.). Still, I didn't want to leave you hanging without an update, so here is a quick listing of a few interesting facts that might pique your attention.
* If we remove all 135 hits that Barry Bonds produced in 2004, give him an 0-for-135, his OBP for that season still would have been .391 – a mark that would have been good enough for 12th in the NL in 2009 (Bonds produced a .609 OBP in '04, the best mark in history).
* There are only three men who have ever had a season of 20 homers and 60 steals. They are Eric Davis in 1986 (27 HR, 80 SB), Joe Morgan in 1973 (26 HR, 67 SB) and 1976 (27 HR, 60 SB) and Rickey Henderson in 1985 (24 HR, 72 SB) 1986 (28 HR, 87 SB) and 1990 (28 HR, 65 SB).
* In 1982 Rickey Henderson set a major league record with 130 SB. He also set the ML record with 42 caught stealing that year as well.
* Jim Rice could really hit, but the hard shots he hit, combined with his cement feet, led to a ton of double plays in his career. Rice is the all-time single season leader with 36 GIDP in 1984. He is also second on the list with 35 in 1985.
* The all-time record for hit-by-pitch in a single season is 51, held by Hughie Jennings in 1896 (the "modern" record is held by Ron Hunt with 50 in 1971). Jennings owns three of the top-4 seasons ever, and is #1 all-time with 287 HBP in his career, two more than Craig Biggio.
* Ty Cobb had seven months with 50+ hits, with a high of 67 twice (July 1912, July 1922).
* Ichiro hit .372 in 2004 on his way to a single season record 262 hits. Even more amazing was the fact that he hit .429 after the All-Star break (143 for 333).
* Nap Lajoie is officially credited with the highest single season batting average of the modern era at .426 in 1901. However the all-time leader is actually Hugh Duffy who hit .440 in 1894.
* Poor Randy Tate. In 1975 he went the entire season without a hit, 41 at-bats in total (with 22 Ks). He never played again making him the all-time leader for most career ABs without ever earning a hit.
* In 1894 the Baltimore Orioles team hit .343…and finished 2nd to the Philadelphia A's who hit .349 (the league hit .309).
* Ever heard of Bill Bergen? From 1901-1911 he was a major league catcher who couldn't hit at all. Of all hitters who have ever had at least 3,000 plate appearances, Bergen's .170 batting average is the worst. How the hell did he earn 3,028 ABs with that average? He must have been one hell of a game manager.
* Ken Boyer hit 24 homers in each of four straight seasons (1961-64). If you think that is impressive, give Adam Dunn's line a look as he hit 40 homers for 4-straight years (2005-08). In 204 he hit 46, and in 2009 he hit 38, so for that six year span of 2004-2009 Dunn averaged 41 homers a year.

Sports Guy breaks Randy Moss story by accident
ESPN blogger and Boston sports nut Bill Simmons known as The Sports Guy used his Twitter account Tuesday evening to send a direct message to one of his 1,265,832 followers seeking info, he says, on a rumor he heard that the New England Patriots would soon trade star receiver Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings. The tweet was two words: moss vikings.
But, not entirely sure how Twitter works, Simmons didnt send it as a direct message; he sent it as a tweet to every one of his 1,265,832 followers. The rumor went viral instantly. At 7:30, Simmons used his Twitter account for a series of tweets apologizing for accidentally tweeting the rumor in which he repeated the rumor.
Sorry that last tweet was supposed to be a DM. Rumors swirling about a Pats-Minny trade for Randy Moss.I am a moron with twitter on blackberry, thats the 4th time I tried to DM someone and it came out as a tweet. Might be time for Tweet Deck.
As far as DM accidents go, that was a 3 on the Ray Allen Scale. Sorry. Hate passing along rumors, thats why I was DM-ing for info.
If, as he says, he didnt intend to publicly tweet the rumor at first, he sure meant to spread the rumor with his follow-up tweet.
This raises a disconcerting question: What is The Sports Guy? Is he, as he presents himself, a fan with a blog and Twitter account? Is he a journalist like every other sportswriter? Or is he some new combination of both?
If hes a journalist and he had a scoop on the Patriots and Moss, why didnt he tweet it right away? Does he hate tweeting rumors and had he intended to send a direct message to someone (a Patriots official?) seeking info to confirm the rumor? Thats what a journalist would do.
But once he blundered with Twitter and send out the rumor to the world (he deleted the original tweet a half hour later), why did he write a follow-up tweet spreading the unconfirmed rumor? Thats what a fan would do.
I havent read Simmons ESPN blog in years, but I was a huge fan of Simmons back in the late 1990s when he was working as a waiter and bartender here and writing The Sports Guy blog for AOLs tiny and doomed Digital Cities Boston. What made Simmons so much fun back then is that he wasnt a sportswriter sitting in the press box and travelling with the teams, he was just a Boston sports fan a passionate, articulate and funny Boston sports fan writing about Boston sports.
The internet made Simmons-the-blogging-fan possible, and it didnt take him long to attract a good-sized readership (which he deserved). ESPN took notice and hired him, and Simmons became something else: a professional blogger with access to press boxes and athletes and team officials. As much as he tried to maintain his every-fan persona, he became a sportswriter, a journalist, a professional. Thats when his blog posts got much less interesting much less different than what I could get from dozens of sports journalists and thats when I stopped reading him.
Simmons thumbing the wrong buttons in his Twitter app Tuesday night led to sportswriters piling on to report the rumor. Within minutes, the Pro Football Talk blog on nbcsports.com posted this:
Bill Simmons of ESPN is reporting, sort of, the existence of rumors regarding a trade that would send receiver Randy Moss from the Patriots back to the Vikings.
Jay Glazer, a football reporter at the Fox Sports website, a hour later launched his own tweets saying hed had the story before Simmons.
Yes, vikes and pats have been working on trade that sends randy moss to vikes and r very close but can't be done ..hey bill simmons @sportsguy33, damn you! Hahaha. I've been sitting on it allllll day. Was hoping to come outta left field and then u let slip. Classic! Good job
A few minutes later, on the Boston.com Patriots blog, Shalise Manza Young posted the rumor.
According to Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com, the Patriots and Vikings are in trade talks to send Randy Moss to Minnesota.
By 11:30 that night, the Associated Press reported it had confirmed the story with an anonymous source.
The New England Patriots and Vikings are discussing a trade that would bring star receiver Randy Moss back to Minnesota.A league source spoke to The Associated Press about the discussions on condition of anonymity on Tuesday night because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the negotiations.
By 7 the next morning, WBZ-AM, the all-news station in Boston was running the Moss trade rumor as its lead story. And just before 9:30, the Globes Matt Pepin reported the trade had been made.
Turns out Simmons had accurate inside information; even though he professes to be just a fan, hes a journalist, and, in this case, a good one with good sources.
Chris Chase, who writes an NFL blog for Yahoo! Sports, has the same problem with Simmons as I do is he a journalist or is he a fan blogger or what?
Look, if this wasnt an accident, I dont blame Simmons for the initial tweet. If I had a piece of juicy gossip like that, Id want to tweet it to all my1.2 million689 followers too.But The Sports Guy cant have it both ways. He cant be the man of the people he positions himself to be and still try to play Matt Drudge on the side. Either use the connections to break news or keep them to yourself so you can say I knew that was coming in your next mailbag.
Simmons tweeted late last night that hes going to explain the whole thing on his ESPN blog tomorrow.
the circumstances that led to my accidental moss vikings tweet are pretty funny. I will tell the story in Fridays column.
Im looking forward to that.

Grandma Allegedly Cooperated With Burglars
January 21, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
MEDFORD, N.J., (UPI) – A New Jersey woman has been charged with allowing two of her grandchildren and their 20-something friends to use her home as a base for burglary.
Lorraine Bleckley, 78, of Medford, N.J., was arrested with Kenneth Bleckley Jr., 24, and Cynthia Bleckley, 21, WCAU-TV in Philadelphia reported. She faces one count of maintaining a nuisance.
The younger Bleckleys are charged with conspiracy to commit burglary. Kristina McLeod and Jeffery Simpkins, both 23, are charged with burglary and other crimes.
Investigators say the group stole more than $26,000 in cash and jewelry in a series of break-ins in two Medford developments in October and November.
Bleckley allegedly allowed her grandchildren and the others to stay at her house, using it as a "home base."

My first 100-mile month since last summer, when I cranked up the mileage too quickly then hurt myself. Got started earlier this year, slowly ramped up the mileage on the treadmill and outside, and bam! today with a 15.7 mile run I passed the century mark!

I started running after my first divorce after 20 years of being married. She is a good woman and mother. I have three fantastic adult children. I ran 21 marathons starting after I got divorced. I had never ran before that, but at least it was a positive change. I thought I could get married again, but it didn't work. After two years married I am getting divorced again. I have continued to find solace in running. I am now 58 and I hope to resume running marathons. My independence is both a curse and a blessing. Everyone who has been close to me has been a good person, and I have been blessed to know both my wives. I continue to learn who I am and I hope I never again hurt anyone else. Running is good.

Today I ran the fastest mile I've run since I got out of the army more than 20 years ago, and close to my fastest ever. I was doing mile repeats on the track this morning and my first two splits were 7:34 and 7:30. yay me. For the record, I'm 46 and have only been running for a little more than a year (and only running with a plan since January) after a 20+ year layoff that largely involved me sitting on my ass and getting fat.
Great job! So nice to see progress even after time slips by...
Running Goals ... MCM 2013 and First Marathon ever Mission accomplished!

Yesterday was the first time I completed 50+ miles in a week. Crossing my fingers I can stay consistent in this training cycle.
Has Broken Parts
I ran a shorter run than I planned. It was a wise decision and my ankle is thanking me for it!! My victory was listening to myself and being able to run another day
+1. My knee.
Master of Inconsistency
I would like to say I'm doing well too ,but it seems every time I get going lately something else rears it's ugly head . I would go on a rant but then I would be labeled a whiner . My ego couldn't take such a hit so I'll sulk instead . BTW : Fuck my Hamstring !
Ain't Wastin' Time No More !

I'm turning 40 yo in two days and decided to celebrate early with a 40 mile run today. By far my longest single run! The last 10 miles were brutal, but I made it. Never have I only wanted to be 30 yo more. HAPPY DAY!!

Ran my first 20 miler today, and it felt good! This also gave me 80 miles on the week and put me over the 2,000 mark for the year, all firsts. Pretty cool.
