Great location. For Beale St funΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Walking Distance to Beale"
Great location! Good amenities within the hotel: Starbucks, bar, restaurant. 5 steps from the Fedex Forum. Valet parking was completely inefficient & disorganized on check-out. Overall, we had a great time on Beale, and hotel was super convenient.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

"worst experience ever"
This hotel has terrible customer service. I booked this hotel as a romantic getaway for my boyfriend and I as well as a recent concert for his birthday. The hotel was right across the street from the FedEx Forum. I booked on line 6 weeks prior to the actual date of stay and had multiple emails saying I was good to go. I know there were rooms available […] when i booked because i booked the exact day the concert went on sale. Come to find out when I checked into the hotel that wasn't the case at all. They apparently overbooked that night and put us in another hotel 6 blocks away. I asked why wasn't I called and told about this and I was told they didn't know. I asked how could your system allow you to overbook and they again said they didn't know. Because I was not informed of this I paid for parking at that hotel had to leave and pay for the next hotels parking. The hotel we were put in was not up to standards. I wanted a king size bed suite we were put in a standard two double bed room. You cannot treat customers this way and I won't be returning. If they had bothered to call me instead of emailing me saying everything was ready I could have found a better hotel than the one where we were placed. I was very upset they gave my room away Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Great room, great location....poorly stocked"
I would return to this (expensive) hotel, mostly for the location directly across from the FedEx Forum. However, the staff need to be more attentive to providing adequate towels and ensuring the in-room amenities, like coffee packs, are stocked. For such a high-scale hotel, these things should not be an annoyance. Also, its worth doing the self-park […] vs. valet....can save you $20 per night!

"Convenient for weekend visit"
Room was not ready at 3:30 when I tried to check in...less than half hour wait, but still not ideal. The only problem with location next to Beale Street is that occasionally a drunk hotel guest pounds on your door by mistake at 2:30 AM before realizing he meant to pound on the next door over. No sense calling front desk as I'm already awake, but c'est […] la vie in party town. Good bar and restaurant for de-toxing from BBQ and Fried everything. Good hotel.

The location of the Westim Memphis Beale Street is fantastic! It is 50 metres from Beale Street, is opposite the Gibson Factory, is adjacent to free shuttle buses to Gracelands and Sun Studios etc. The hotel service and restaurant (we only had breakfast there... ) was excellent. Hotel is very clean, great staff and it is very comfortable. We were on […] a club floor level 5 overlooking the back of Beale Street and it was not noisy to any great degree - we could sleep without any problems and if you listened hard, you 'could' just hear the music on a Saturday night. They have a range of Gibson custom electric guitars (335s, 339s, SGs, etc) in a cabinet in the foyer and they lend these to guests to take to and use in their rooms if they want at no charge. Also, the Beale Street area in Memphis is heavily patrolled by police and appears to be very safe. Overall an excellent stay and we would not hesitate to ONLY stay there again when next in Memphis.

When we got there it was in a good location but the rooms never would cool off. Next day we went to the service desk and they came to change the air filter. It was disgusting !!! It cooled off somewhat after that. Water in the rooms are 6.40 each. REALLY??? You can buy 48 bottles of water for that!! A rip off I must say. Then they had snacks on the […] dresser if you hold them for more than 30 seconds its bill to your credit card!! Rip off!!! I'll definitely stay else where next time!!

The hotel was clean and nice and the staff was great!

"Nice hotel close to Beal Street."
My family and I went to Memphis as a quick get away. Our main purpose was to visit Gibson. We found the location perfect (directly across the street form Gibson). The staff was knowlegable and friendly except for one lady that was a little snippy about the room keys not working. The room size was spacious. We did stay on the Beal Street side and you […] can hear the music until 3:00 a.m. We enjoyed the noise. We did not bring our dog, but was delighted to see that the hotel was pet friendly incase we decide to visit again. The elevators work by room keys which is a safty feature I really like. I would recommend this hotel. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"Wonderful hotel, great location"
I went with a group of 5 ladies and we had such a blast! The location was perfect, the rooms were spacious and very clean. The shower was wonderful! I was worried before we checked out because our breakfast took over an hour to get at Miss Polly's. I almost ran back to the hotel to check out before noon and the young lady at the front desk was so nice! […] She offered to extend our checkout until 1 so I could go back to enjoy my breakfast. I have already told people how wonderful the hotel was and plan to return there in November. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"great amenities!!"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Westin! The hotel was fashionable and clean and the staff was very helpful. The best part of this hotel was the array of amenities. Our bathroom had both a separate shower and tub and plenty of fluffy towels/robes. The gym was fabulous and by far my favorite amenity! They had state-of-the-art equipment and loads […] of extras (cold towels, regular towels, water coolers, scales, extra headphones, etc). We will definitely be staying again whenever we go to Memphis.

"All about the money!"
Starting from the time you pull up in front of hotel the charges begin. You get you choice of Valet parking or self parking, what they don't tell you is that if you just pull into the parking garage and pay the city you would save about $13 per day. It is the same parking lot the only difference is who you are paying and how much. Everything about this […] hotel on surface is great but underneath it is all about getting more money from you. Make sure you read the tags on the water, one is free and the other is not. Just a little frustrating considering how much hotel stays are to begin with.

"Nice hotel on Beale St. Convenient to walk."
Loved the hotel. It was clean, the staff was very nice. Think the staff was the most helpful and friendly that I have ever experienced and that is saying a lot. I do think that valet parking would get backed up a lot during check in and check out time. They might need more staff in that area. The staff that did valet did work hard and move fast...it […] was just busy. I liked that the check in staff would ask if you wanted a room on a low floor or a high floor, etc. My son loved being able to try the guitars out. Do have to be careful about people asking for money etc on the streets. Very impt to not be out alone at night. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"Great Location, very nice place, good staff.. but."
Location is blocks from all the walking attractions downtown such as the stadiums, Beale St, the restaurants on Main street. Makes it nice, since you don't need a car then. Very modern and clean hotel, with attentive staff. Thanks Lynette for helping me with my special mission :) But... we got an upgraded corner window room. Sounds awesome right? Except […] that the beautiful view comes with the THUMP THUMP of Beale st until 1am on Thurs - Sat night and at least midnight on the other nights. If you are a light sleep like I am, you migth want to sacrifice the view for a room that does NOT face the crowds and sounds of Beale St if you go to bed before midnight.

"Pleasantly surprised"
After reading so much negative comments about the hotel, we were very leery about our stay at Westin. We were pleasantly surprised that the overall stay turned out well. No cancellation (since there was no event at Fedex Forum) and the staff was very friendly and the room was clean and nice. The location was excellent since it 's right there at Beale […] Street. Since we only stayed for one night, it's difficult to tell whether service is consistent. However, we are willing to give Westin Hotel at Beale Street another chance when we are in Memphis again.

After check in, hotel was great. Check in issues- never asked for ID, and checked me into a room that they then checked in other people to 20 min. later with a similar, not the same name. I was unpacking, and 2 guys walked in my room with a key. Hotel apologized, then had to reassign room as they gave me the a double bed, not a king (I'd forgotten what […] I requested, and they refused to let me stay). Had to repack, and move. Apparently, girl at check in put us both in under the other name. They offered to comp breakfast, but my husband was furious that 2 men walked in on my while I was alone in the room as well as the inconvenience of moving.

"Nice and close to Beale."
Overall, a lovely hotel, nice room, one block off Beale st. However we were not thrilled with a few things, including the expensive daily parking rate, the stingy bartenders and the ridiculous weighted mini-bar, which charges you for the food and drinks even if they are just picked up and put back. They have installed a system of weights to know if […] you even looked at it. And this is written only in tiny fine print below the snacks and inside the fridge. The first thing we did was pick it all up and look at it. THEN we saw the sign. I did not have to pay for these items as I explained it to the concierge, so I am not that upset, it just seemed a little manipulative. A way to add extra charges without you noticing. Overall, besides this, it was a very nice stay. I would still recommended it, just watch out for the extra charges! Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

Critical Essays
Critical Evaluation
Dante was born of a poor but noble Florentine family. Unusually well educated for his time and social class, he was knowledgeable in science, theology, and philosophy and was a well-known man of letters. He lived in politically tumultuous times and was active in his city's government. During an absence from Florence in 1301, his party was overthrown and he was sentenced to exile in 1302. For a time, he tried to clear his name, but he was never allowed to return to his beloved Florence upon the threat of being burned. Dante wrote The Divine Comedy in exile and died in Ravenna.
Dante chose to write the masterpiece The Divine Comedy in Italian, although the language of scholarship at that time was Latin. Dante's major writings in Latin include his political essay De monarchia (c. 1313; English translation, 1890; also known as Monarchy, 1954; better known as On World Government, 1957) and his compelling defense of the written vernacular as an appropriate medium of expression, De vulgari eloquentia (c. 1306; English translation, 1890). Although Dante used Latin for a number of very important letters and for a few poems, his language of choice was his native Tuscan dialect, which became the basis of modern Italian. His earliest major work—La vita nuova (c. 1292; Vita Nuova, 1861; better known as The New Life), a mystical-spiritual account of his love for Beatrice that...

Kenneth Conrad is giving blood.
Conrad said, "My mother has occasionally. Her blood count gets low, because she's going through chemo. So occasionally, they have to give her blood to keep her numbers up."
But numbers aren't up anywhere else. Around the holidays, South Alabama District Director Sharon Carpenter says they dip.
Carpenter said, "On average, we need 250 donors in the Dothan area and we have seen a lot less than that. We're averaging 150 donors at week."
That average won't cut it and Carpenter knows snow will hit those numbers hard.
Carpenter said, "The bad weather that started yesterday and is also going through today is certainly affecting Lifesouth's blood supply. Up north, north Alabama, Huntsville and Birmingham, we had to cancel blood drives due to the snow.
But Conrad says he's getting out anyways.
Conrad said, "Makes you feel good to return the cycle of life. You never know when you may need a pint of blood."

The top iPad apps and accessories you'll need
Apple's updated their website with the simple words, "iPad is here" and I wanted to welcome in the iPad to the computing world here as well. The Apple iPad is really the first tablet of it's kind. Despite being seen as an oversized iPod Touch by many, I'm still convinced that it has a lot of potential. I'm not going to argue about whether the iPad is good or not. Instead, I've compiled a simple list below of the top iPad apps and accessories I think you'll need to go along with your shiny new Apple iPad.
- iPad Case - During the initial announcement, I thought the iPad could be a great device to bring into interviews to show off your portfolio. This simple black case would be very presentable to carry into your next interview. When you open up the case, you can pass out your resume as usual and be able to present all of your work without skipping a beat. All this capability with something that probably weighs close to the same amount as a normal portfolio with a notepad inside.
- iPad Keyboard Dock - If you have the deskspace next to your main computer and an iPad, why not have it charging while attached to a keyboard. Just use the iPad for all your incoming emails and switch over to this special keyboard dock for that very purpose.
- iDisplay app - This app can extend your regular Mac desktop to your iPad so it acts like a second display. Again, this is a nice use for the iPad while it's in it's dock charging.
- TweetDeck iPad app - If you're a heavy Twitter user, you're going to love using your iPad as a dedicated Twitter client with this app. You'll be able to manage all your accounts, columns, etc. all with simple gesture commands and typing on the virtual keyboard.
- iBooks iPad app, Numbers, Keynote and Pages - An iPad without iBooks, Numbers, Keynote and Pages is like a computer without Office installed... These apps will turn your iPad into a much more useful device for just $30 more in total.
What apps and iPad accessories do you think go hand in hand with Apple iPad ownership? Share your thoughts below.

Distinguish respected.
How in the world does he take the CIA job think suddenly that he's not going to be surveil yeah that -- -- the good guys the bad guys and everything in between.

First, I have to give my apologies: I was having a lot of trouble with my camera, it must have really liked the potatoes because it just won't give up the pictures. I can't say I blame it. But the good news is that the recipe was tasty, so I'll make it again this week and get pictures with another camera, or my phone if I have to.
Sadly, this will be our last SRC post, and possibly our last post in general. Lucy and I have had a blast, but lately life is taking us in too many different directions, and logging has become more of a chore than we want. We might come back to it later, and we'll leave the site up, but there won't be any posts.
Anyway, onto this month's Secret Recipe Club post! Our assignment was Ambition's Kitchen, a cute little blog full of great recipes. Some are even healthy, which is pretty foreign to us! I went with a simple roasted potato dish: simple, but tasty. I skipped the ranch dressing in my version, because I'm less-than-keen on ranch, but stuck with the core of the recipe.
Roasted Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese
Olive oil
Italian seasoning mix, Greek seasoning mix, or just whatever herbs and spices you want to toss in
1/2 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or other shredded cheese
1/4 C. Real Bacon Bits
2 lb. small red potatoes, quartered or cut into coins
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp. chopped fresh chives
Preheat oven to 350 F. Sprinkle potatoes with olive oil, toss to coat, the toss in herbs, cheese, & bacon. Spoon into lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish; cover with foil. Bake 40 minutes (slightly less time if you cut into coins, keep an eye on it). Remove foil, bake an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and browned. Sprinkle with parsley and chives.

Sony May Never Have a Halo Killer
Written by Andrew Weymes Friday, 15 October 2010 05:00
Editors' Note: We continue our series on the Best of The Goozex Report with the article that got the second most amount of pageviews on blogspot, which eventually evolved to what you see today as GoozerNation.
The article is entitled Sony May Never Have a Halo Killer and originally appeared on The Goozex Report on January 7, 2009. It was written by Andrew Weymes. Andrew has since moved on from writing for GoozerNation and started his own site called The Nightly Gamer, which turned into Bad Guy Wins, and now, sadly, I can't seem to find either site online. Perhaps after revisiting the glory days, Mr. Weymes would like to start writing for GoozerNation again. He's welcome back anytime.
Sony May Never Have a Halo Killer
It seems like every time an exclusive first person shooter is announced for the Playstation 3, it is instantly dubbed as a "Halo killer" by anticipatory Sony supporters. The original Resistance: Fall of Man comes to mind. While it may have sold well, and established a respectable fan base, it in no way killed the Halo franchise. Haze is another game that was hyped up beyond belief, and was also given the title of "Halo killer." That game was met with average reviews, and didn't seem to slay the mighty Halo series, either. Along comes Resistance 2. It looks promising. The graphics have received a considerable upgrade. The scale in the campaign is much larger, and the multiplayer supports up to 60 players, and is very addictive and fun. If anything could kill Halo, it would be this game, right? Nope. Halo lives. Halo hasn't even received any wounds, let alone died. Finally, we have the upcoming Killzone 2. It looks excellent. The graphics seem to push the Playstation 3 further than ever before, the campaign looks exciting, and the multiplayer looks very enjoyable. On top of all of this, the early reviews have been positive. Is this game finally going to slaughter Halo and leave it's children without a daddy? Not a chance, and here is an explanation of why.
On November 15, 2001, the original Halo: Combat Evolved was released for the original Xbox. The game was met with excellent scores, and established a large online community. Without a game like Halo, the original Xbox may have not done as well as it did. Halo: Combat Evolved has sold more than five million copies worldwide. Because the Halo series already had an established fan base by the time the sequel came out, it sold even better than it's predecessor. Halo 2 has sold over eight million copies worldwide. The already established fan base continued to support the Halo series when Halo 3 was released for the Xbox 360. Halo 3 has sold a little over eight million copies as well.
The point of the little history lesson above is to show that calling any first person shooter a "Halo killer" is silly. It's actually becoming quite ridiculous. The Halo series has a very large fan base. These fans have established a large online community and love to play games of Halo 3 with their friends. Regardless of how much better you think a certain game is, they will be happy playing a game of Halo 3. There could be a huge news story on a respected gaming web site about how Killzone 2, for example, is superior to Halo 3 in every possible way. The graphics could be better, the sound could be better, the controls could be better, the campaign could be better, and the multiplayer could be better in the eyes of professionals, but at the end of the day, Halo fans enjoy playing Halo games. Video games, like films, are a matter of taste. Just because you like something does not mean that other people like it. People may not like the gun selection in Resistance 2 compared to the gun selection in Halo 3. You may think they are insane, but that is their personal opinion, and they are entitled to it.
If Halo 3 received very low scores because it was broken technically, then yes, a game like Resistance 2 would be a "Halo killer" because it's not technically broken. Aside from games that are plagued with terrible controls, and other technical issues, no games are really better than other games in the same genre. Everyone has an opinion on what is a good game, and what is a bad game. There were probably many times that you bought a game that got a high score from some web site, and you got it home, and didn't know what the fuss was about. Another example is a friend telling you how awesome a certain game is, and when you play it, you just don't feel the same. Everyone has a different perspective on what is good, or bad. People have been getting upset about people having different opinions forever, and it's quite silly. For example, Dead Space is a survival horror as is Silent Hill: Homecoming. Critics seemed to enjoy Dead Space more than Silent Hill: Homecoming. Does this mean that Dead Space is a "Silent Hill killer?" No, it doesn't. It means that in most critics' opinion, Dead Space is a better game. Perhaps some people enjoy Silent Hill: Homecoming more because of the setting, and the storyline. Regardless, it's all a matter of opinion. An old school example is the classic Sonic vs Mario debate. Neither "kills" the other. Some people enjoy one, and not the other, or perhaps both.
In conclusion, Sony will probably never have a "Halo killer." When it comes to media, no one is ever wrong for enjoying a game. No one is ever wrong when they say that one game is better than another, because it's their personal opinion. Regardless of how many people enjoy the upcoming Killzone 2, it will never kill a series with an established fan base. The only "Halo killer" would be a prohibition of the playing of Halo games in general, and that may not even kill the beast. There would be an underground resistance of sorts. It's obvious that this is not an anti-Sony article. All of the games on the Playstation 3 mentioned above are excellent games. Are any of them "Halo killers?" Well, that's a matter of personal opinion.

Military Pain Management's Future: Less Invasive, More Data-Driven Techniques
- Categorized in: Pain Management, This Year in Federal Medicine - Outlook 2013
By Col. Chester "Trip" Buckenmaier III, MD, program director, Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative Pain Management
In August 2009, the Pain Management Task Force (PMTF) was chartered by retired Lt. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker as the Army Surgeon General. The PMTF membership included pain experts with diverse medical backgrounds from the Air Force, Army, Navy, TRICARE Management Activity and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The PMTF mission was to review the status of existing pain-management services and provide recommendations for a "comprehensive pain-management strategy that was holistic, multidisciplinary and multimodal in its approach, utilizes state of the art/science modalities and technologies, and provides optimal quality of life for soldiers and other patients with acute and chronic pain."1
The results of this review, along with specific recommendations for enhancements to military pain care were provided in the Pain Management Task Force — Final Report, May 2010. Soon after publication of the PMTF Final Report, the Institute of Medicine released its report, "Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education and Research" in June 2011. Perhaps most interesting and intriguing about these two efforts at defining areas for pain-management improvement, was the high amount of correlation between the two documents in terms of the identified major issues and suggested solutions. Both documents recognized the tremendous national economic burden associated with chronic pain, both recognized that chronic pain could be a disease itself, and both efforts established the need for better pain data and research. With the call to action established by these two important federal documents, considerable effort and investment into federal pain medicine improvements has been under way during the last few years. This article will introduce some of the larger and more influential changes undertaken by the Department of Defense (DoD) that providers may see in the near future.
Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative Pain Management (DVCIPM)
The PMTF recognized that the scope and magnitude of change recommended in the final report would require a tri-service advisory board to ensure effective implementation of Task Force recommendations and a central point of contact on pain-management issues affecting the varied organizations within the DoD. This goal will be achieved with the establishment of a Military Pain Medicine Board of Directors for the DVCIPM consisting of Air Force, Army, Navy, VHA and civilian senior expert pain clinicians and researchers with diverse backgrounds in the management of acute and chronic pain.
The organization is tasked with providing clinical advice to the services on the best, evidence-based, integrative clinical pain-management practices. Additionally, the DVCIPM seeks to standardize military pain education for providers and patients and serve as a pain research and outcomes focal point (Fig. 1). Much of the available published and ongoing research into military pain issues during the current conflicts has come from or been directly influenced by the DVCIPM.

NBA AM: Are The Bucks Holding Firm?
Posted By Steve Kyler On June 26, 2012 @ 8:35 am In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
Bucks Standing Firm? There are some franchises that are known to trade at the trade deadline and there are others that are notorious draft day traders. The Milwaukee Bucks are usually one of the teams triggering major deals in and around the draft, however this year Bucks' General Manager John Hammond is saying they will hold on to the #12 overall pick, which means they almost assuredly they won't.
"We have done this over the last couple years. We've made a major trade at the draft," Hammond said to Charles F. Gardner of the Journal Sentinel. "And to be honest with you, we're hoping not to do something like that.
"I remember saying (last year), 'We're doing too much of this.' Whatever we can do to improve our team we're going to do. But we've got some pieces we think we can move forward with. We like our team."
There has been speculation that the Bucks might part with one of their core pieces in order to make a splashy trade to acquire a proven NBA big man, something Hammond says he is betting against.
"We like Brandon (Jennings) at 1; we like Monta (Ellis) at 2. We like Luc Mbah a Moute. We like Tobias Harris; we like Jon Leuer. We like Drew Gooden; we like Ekpe (Udoh). We like Larry Sanders.
"They're young players; they're good players. They have upside. I hope something like that doesn't happen.
"Once again, it comes back to what is the right thing to do for this organization. If that's the case, we would do it (a trade). But I don't foresee that happening."
The Bucks have been talking about adding size since trading away Andrew Bogut at the trade deadline this year. Hammond says pigeonholing the Bucks into drafting only a center would be a mistake.
"I think right now there's the assumption that we're looking at a narrow-minded set and we have to go big," Hammond said. "There's a need there. So obviously that is going to be a discussion and it is going to be somewhat of a priority for us.
"But at the end of the day, the most important thing is that you're drafting talent."
With so much uncertainty surrounding this draft, Hammond and the Bucks known someone is going to fall to them and they want to be opened minded about how that could play out.
"I think we all look at this draft and we say we know what's going to happen at 1," Hammond said. "That's the obvious.
"Beyond that, we have no idea who is going to go 2, who is going to go 6, who is going to go 10. And right now, we don't know who is going to go 12, but we're working on that."
The latest HOPSWORLD Mock Draft has the Bucks drafting North Carolina big man Tyler Zeller, although there is more and more speculation that the Bucks would rather have Illinois center Myers Leonard.
There has been a lot of talk about the Bucks moving down several slots too. If a serious prospect takes a tumble the Bucks seem to be a willing trade partner, especially if they can solve roster problems along the way.
Bird Bowing Out?: After months of hints that Larry Bird would be remaining with the Indiana Pacers for another season, Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star is reporting that Bird will be stepping down as President of the team due to unspecified health issues.
For the last few weeks there had been rumors of former Pacer and Knicks executive Donnie Walsh returning to the team in an unspecified leadership capacity, now it's becoming clear that Walsh is likely going to replace Bird with current director of player personnel Kevin Pritchard expected to be named General Manager.
According to Wells, Bird plans to take at least a year away from basketball to address nagging health concerns, and may look at options next year.
Current Pacer GM David Morway is out of the picture in Indiana. Morway tried to get the Pacers to address the rampant rumors surrounding him and was ultimately allowed to leave the situation.
Sources close to the situation say Morway will look for other opportunities as they arise.
The Pacers look to have roughly $22 million in cap space next week when free agency opens and will have to deal with pending free agents Roy Hibbert and George Hill. Both can be made restricted with a qualifying offer. Deadline acquisition Leandro Barbosa is also an unrestricted free agent as well.
The Pacers hold the 26th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft and do not have a 2nd round pick this year.
Nash Waiting For Sunday Free agency in the NBA opens on Sunday July 1st. That's the first day teams can officially sell themselves to free agents.
Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash knows he'll hear from a number of teams and he plans to keep his options open.
"I have to put all those different factors – financial, family, environment, ability to win – no one factor really kind of goes above any other. It's all those put together," Nash told ESPN New York 98.7′s Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco.
"I think it's nice to have that idea that 'I want to win a championship, a championship at all costs'. I think that's also difficult. For example you can turn down a ton of money to go to a team that you think could win a championship and then there is an injury or the chemistry isn't right and you could get traded in six months. I think you have to be really careful and make a sound decision."
Nash professes that he has not reached any decisions on where he'll play next year and that he'll listen to the offers that come his way.
"It sounds like a company line, but my situation really right now is I'm open to everything," explained Nash. "I will definitely look at every situation that comes my way on Sunday, and I'm not going to close myself to any opportunities."
Nash is hosting a charity soccer event this week in New York, a city where Nash maintains an off season home. When Mike D'Antoni was coaching the Knicks it seemed all but inevitable that Nash would head to New York as a free agent and Nash said little to dissuade that idea.
"Everyone knows I love Mike. We had some good years together," Nash said. "It would've been another factor, but what's in the past is in the past. When Sunday (July 1) comes around, I'm going to have to look at everything with fresh new eyes and see what's best for me."
Several teams have been mentioned as possible landing spots for Nash including the 2012 NBA champion Miami HEAT, the New York Knicks and the LA Lakers. Nash admitted playing for the Lakers would be hard.
"The truth is I'm a bit old school. For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That's just the way it is," Nash said. "You play against them so many times in the playoffs, and I just use them as an example, and I have the utmost respect for them and their organization.
"I kind of have that tendency (to try to beat the best teams), so it is strange, but as a free agent you're free to go where you want, so I'd have to consider everything regardless of the past or the future."
Nash has earned $119 million in NBA salary in his 16 NBA seasons and is coming off a final contract year in Phoenix that paid him $11.6 million.
While it's easy to say money does not matter to a player like Nash, it absolutely does. Not for the dollars and cents in a bank account but the power, leverage and control a serious salary gives a player both on the court and in the front office. Nash has maintained for months that staying in Phoenix is not out of the question and sources say the Suns would do a two or three year deal to keep their franchise cornerstone.
Nash is expected to take meetings with several teams, however there is a belief that Nash wants to see some closure on this front quickly, so don't expect this to linger on too long.
Teams can begin talking with free agents at 12:01 EST on Sunday. Nash is expected to be busy.

Good day! The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both posted their strongest September gains in nearly 3/4 of a century last month. They held onto their bias in favor of another new higher high thanks to strong economic data on Thursday, but it was a slow start. When I wrote Thursday's column the index futures were still showing weakness. In fact, they were basing at afterhours lows and favored further selling, which went against the larger daily bias that we've been following. This bearish bias did end up playing out in the early morning hours with a break lower followed by three waves of downside on a 5 minute time frame before the breakdown trend exhausted itself with a third push lower heading into 2:00 a.m. ET.
Dow Jones Industrial Average
At 2:00 a.m. ET the index futures were not only extended in terms of trend development, but also price. The futures market was testing lows from the previous day, which served as a strong support zone. This zone held and a rather rapid recovery followed. The market returned to afterhours highs before stalling at that resistance zone and falling into a longer trading range once again. This was an upper level range (and hence bullish) in the premarket and consisted to two waves of correction into the 8:30 a.m. ET economic data.
The momentum bias within the range itself was also in favor of the bulls. Well-received economic data merely sealed the deal. The Labor Department reported that applications for jobless claims fell by 16,000 last week, which was more than expected, and hit 453,000. Additionally, the second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) was slightly higher than earlier estimates and came in at 1.7%. The Chicago PMI, which gauges the regional economy, rose to 60.4 in September, up from 56.7 in August. Readings over 50 indicate expansion.
The index futures shot sharply to the upside on these reports, breaking strongly out of the premarket trading range to trigger a technical buy as well. The rally continued into the 9:45 a.m. ET correction period, but at that point it began to struggle. The Nasdaq was hitting previous daily highs and the Dow was running into resistance at its upper channel levels on the daily time frame. The pace of the buying slowed and by 9:20 ET the market peaked.
The indices corrected slowly to begin with. This was largely due to the rapid pace of the overall rally. When the 5 minute 20 period moving average hit, however, the pace shifted. The indices hugged the moving average on light volume. This created the Avalanche type of pattern I wrote about in Thursday's column. It triggered on the early side coming out of the 10:45 ET correction period, but followed through extremely well into noon. At that point the indices hit the lower end of the daily trading channel and the market once again found support. The indices corrected steadily with two waves of upside off lows into 15:00 ET before heading lower again into the close.
Nasdaq Composite
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) posted a loss of 47.23 points, or 0.44%, and closed at 10,788.05 on Thursday. Boeing (BA) (+0.86%) was the best performer in the Dow. It had triggered a daily buy setup on Wednesday with Phoenix™ when it broke through its 100 day moving average. The weakest components of the Dow were American Express (AXP) (-2.28%), Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) (-1.64%), Pfizer (PFE) (-1.32%), and Kraft Foods (KFT) (-1.12%).
The S&P 500 ($SPX) fell 3.53 points, or 0.31%, and closed at 1,141.20. The best performers in the S&P 500 were Devry Inc. (DV) (+4.95%), American Intl. Group (AIG) (+4.41%), Tyson Foods (TSN) (+3.89%), and Tenet Healthcare (THC) (+2.83%). AIG announced plans to begin to repay funds from the government's bailout. The weakest performers were Prudent Financial (PRU) (-4.16%), CF Inds. Holdings (CF) (-3.88%), JDS Uniphase Corp. (JDSU) (-3.35%), and Symantec Corp. (SYMC) (-3.07%).
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session lower by 7.94 points, or 0.33%, on Thursday and it closed at 2,368.62. Logitech Intl. (LOGI) (+3.50) was the best performer in the Nasdaq-100. It was followed by Apollo Group (APOL) (+2.11%) and Qualcomm (QCOM) (+1.85%). Foster Wheeler (FWLT) (-3.09%), Symantec (SYMC) (-3.07%), Citrix Systems (CTXS) (-2.81%), and SanDisk (SNDK) (-2.63%) were the biggest losers in that index, which tracks the top 100 stocks in the Nasdaq.
The market will have a lot of data to contend with once again on Friday. Personal income and spending for August, consumer sentiment, construction spending, and the ISM manufacturing index are all due out in the morning. The index futures have been trending higher since noon on Thursday. A third wave to the upside took place between 3-6 a.m. ET.This is creating some exhaustion in the premarket. The larger daily trend is also weakening. While Friday's action intraday will likely be news-driven, the underlying struggle to push higher is starting to weaken. As I mentioned all week, October is typically a corrective month for the market and so far it's continuing to favor that bias.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, the index action described in this article relates to the E-mini futures contracts for the respective indices. Actual index action may differ slightly in terms of pattern formation, although the market bias will remain the same.

Presented to: Ardis Parshall
For: "Beards" on Keepapitchinin
The Association for Mormon Letters presents Ardis Parshall its first award for a blog post, for her three-part "Best Beards" posts on her independent blog, Keepapitchinin.
Complete with photographic illustrations, Ardis presents Mormon men from the past with their splendid (or at least interesting) beards, and invites readers to judge the best. With titles like "chin curtains," featuring Jedediah Grant's beard among others; "The Beard You'd Least Like to Meet in a Dark Alley," including Porter Rockwell's; and "Subbing for Santa," with Orson Pratt's remarkable showing, Ardis Parshall not only invites her readers to vote for the best beards, but subsequently supplies the winners with acceptance speeches. Orson Pratt, the ultimate "Best Beard" winner, says, "Oh, shucks, it wasn't something I set out to do. My chin was as clean-shaven as the next missionary's when I went on my first mission, and when I was called to the Quorum. But like most young men, I indulged myself once by not shaving during a fishing trip, and, well, I discovered I could grow whiskers purty fast and purty thick…"
Ardis Parshall is a gift to Mormon community and particularly to the community of LDS blogs called the Bloggernacle. Keepapitchinin is consistently well-researched, with exceptional attention to detail, often poignant, and full of Ardis's sharp wit and bountiful imagination.

As anti-American furor raged in the home of the Arab Spring, the top U.S. diplomat on Friday sternly warned countries where the unrest has been most pronounced: Stop the violence and seek justice against those attacking diplomatic missions, or else the United States will.
From Morocco to Malaysia, thousands of Muslims have taken to the streets in recent days.
Many have fumed over what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described Friday as an "awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with" -- an inflammatory anti-Islam film posted online this summer, and publicized in recent days.
The 14-minute film trailer, which was privately produced in the United States led by a man federal officials identified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, mocks the Prophet Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and ruthless killer.
Protesters, notably, haven't all been violent and they represent a fraction of their respective nations' populations: In Egypt, for example, a few thousand have clashed with security forces outside the U.S. embassy in Cairo, in a nation of more than 80 million people.
Still, confrontations that have occurred have aggravated relations between the U.S. and other nations, and led to a number of deaths -- including those of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others killed in an attack Tuesday in Benghazi, Libya. The U.N. Security Council issued a statement Friday expressing "deep concern" over attacks on diplomatic posts, calling them "unjustifiable regardless of their motivations."
Clinton said such assaults are misguided, and fly in the face of the better society many in these countries recently fought for when they overthrew authoritarian rulers.
"The people of Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Tunisia did not trade the tyranny of a dictator for the tyranny of a mob," she said Friday during a ceremony in which the bodies of the four killed in Benghazi returned to the United States.
"Reasonable people and responsible leaders in these countries need to do everything they can to restore security and hold accountable those behind these violent acts. And we will ... keep taking steps to protect our personnel around the world."
The contrast between then and now was especially evident in Tunisia, birthplace of the Arab Spring.
Two years ago, the self-immolation of street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set off a wave of popular unrest that soon led to the downfall of Tunisia's longtime leader, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
On Friday, hundreds of demonstrators -- some belonging to the Salafi movement -- were back on the streets of Tunis, setting their sights on the U.S. Embassy.
They burned cars, praised late al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, stormed the embassy complex and replaced the U.S. flag with their own black banner, according to witness accounts. A nearby American school was "unusable" after being badly damaged, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
Two people were killed and more than 20 were wounded, interim Tunisian President Al-Munsif Al-Marzouki said late Friday on state-run TV.
While asserting the anti-Islam video that stirred the outrage "cannot be justified by claims of freedom of opinion and speech" (and adding Tunisia would try to sue the filmmaker), al-Marzouki condemned the "irresponsible, unjustified acts of violence by protesters" who wrongly blamed the U.S. government for the film.
Anti-American protests -- some peaceful, some violent -- were hardly confined to Tunisia. Here's a breakdown of events Friday around the Muslim world:
-- In the Egyptian capital of Cairo, a running battle between police and protesters continued into its fourth day. There was a peaceful demonstration at Tahrir Square, but unrest erupted outside the U.S. Embassy as riot police continued to clash sporadically with protesters.
The Interior Ministry issued a statement saying 53 security officers were injured Friday, seven by birdshot. And birdshot was blamed for the death Friday of one protester, whom the Egyptian ministry described as an ex-convict with an extensive criminal record. Thirty of the 142 people arrested since the unrest began Tuesday remain in custody.
-- In Egypt's northern Sinai, Islamist Bedouins staged a protest, a security official said. Militants carrying automatic weapons breached a base housing international peacekeeping troops and burned trucks and a watch tower. The armed clashes injured at least four troops and an Islamist Bedouin. The 1,500-troop mission has supervised the security of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty since 1979.
-- In Sudan's capital, Khartoum, protesters managed to get inside the compound containing the German and British embassies. They did not breach the British building, but some got into a German Embassy and pulled down a German flag before police with tear gas forced the crowds to retreat.
