Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett: 'Some things are forever, man' |
01.25.14 at 2:09 am ET |
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett spoke at length to Nets media about their Boston homecoming. Here's a sample of what they said leading up to Sunday's game, their first against the Celtics in the Garden.
Garnett: "I'm gonna embrace it for whatever it is. The emotions are gonna be very high, and I'll react accordingly."
Pierce: "It's going to be special. I don't know how I'll react, what emotions are going to be going through my head."
Garnett: "I think anybody who's part of that run and part of that era will always be remembered. Bostonians, New Englanders, they understand that and they never forget their favorites. We was fortunate to be part of that whole transformation … and some things are forever, man. I'm happy to say I'm part of that era."
Pierce: "Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of emotions. You play your whole life there, you won a championship there. I mean, being the first time coming [back] … I never thought it would happen, but it is and it'll be here Sunday."
Garnett: "I think they saw the appreciation and the hard work that we put into that, the effort more than anything. It's funny, they have a little pregame thing they used to always say, and in the pregame, I used to always hear Larry Bird. I would never look up, but I would hear it. Larry said, 'You can't fool the people of Boston. They know when you're working hard, they know pure basketball.' And that's right. When you go all out, they understand that, they root for that, and that's what they remember."
Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett from enemy's perspective |
01.25.14 at 1:53 am ET |
As the Celtics prepare to welcome Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett back to Boston on Sunday, one member of the new-look franchise knows the two legends of the game all too well from the opposite side of the ball. Joel Anthony endured three straight playoff meetings against the Celtics from 2010-12 as a member of the Heat.
"More than anything, you just wanted to beat them," said Anthony, who entered the league the same year Garnett came to Boston. "You really, really wanted to beat them. They made you want to be like that because of how they played and how they competed. It's really the beauty of the game, the beauty of basketball — the whole competition aspect and what you love about the game – to be able to have those type of moments, those battles, those types of feelings and emotions. That's what it's all about — to be able to have those battles with that team was special."
Particularly after a brutal loss to an undermanned Thunder team, Anthony's reminiscence of those series — a five-game Celtics win before LeBron James' arrival during the magical 2010 run, the five-game Heat victory when Rondo dislocated his elbow in 2011 and the epic seven-game Eastern Conference finals in 2012 — will make any basketball fan long for one more matchup between those grit and balls C's and King James ascending to his throne.
"You respected who they were, what type of team they were and how good of a team that they were," Anthony said. "Those were the games that guys really got up for, because we knew we were going to be in a battle with those guys every single night and every single minute on the floor. That was just the biggest thing, knowing that they were such competitors — that team was such a tough team to play against every single night."
As Pierce and Garnett's arrival in Nets uniforms will attest on Sunday, those days of meaningful Celtics-Lakers and Celtics-Heat playoff meetings are long gone — a chapter in NBA history that will be remembered the same way Larry Bird's Celtics and Magic Johnson's Lakers ultimately made way for Michael Jordan's Bulls.
There were a lot of tough battles for LeBron when he was in Cleveland and with us in Miami, a lot of pain from losing to that team," added Anthony. "They were an extremely good basketball team, and so to be able to win those games was big, because it was really a huge step for us to be able to get that monkey off our back in terms of surpassing a team that you struggled against and that you respected, but that you wanted to beat more than anything."
Was it really mutual respect, or was there more to it than that? Because it sure seemed like there was more to it than that. "I think there was some dislike in there," said Anthony. "Yeah, there was some dislike in there."
Regardless, Anthony remembers Pierce and Garnett the way most everyone does.
"KG's intensity and demeanor," he said. "Defensively, especially, he changed how that team was. They kind of took on his identity. And, in terms of Paul, his ability to hit those big shots. They'd find a way to keep it close, and Paul would end up getting the ball in some kind of iso and find a way to always make big shots."
Yup, that's Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in a nutshell. Even Rajon Rondo, who called their homecoming "just another game," knows deep down Sunday will be special. There are too many memories for it not to be.
Rajon Rondo: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett return 'just another game' |
01.25.14 at 12:39 am ET |
In between providing one-word answers about his current state of play, Celtics captain Rajon Rondo likewise shed little light on his expectations for Sunday's Boston homecoming for Nets Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
"It's just another game," Rondo said after an 18-point loss to the Kevin Durant-less Thunder. "We need to win."
Like his team's record, which dropped to 15-30 after a 16th loss in 19 games, the point guard's return from ACL surgery has been a work in little progress. As one member of the Celtics organization said afterwards, Rondo was really only Rondo for one play. His minutes limit prevents him from getting into a rhythm, and as he said, "Plays I usually make, I'm not making right now, but I still feel positive and I'm OK with my progression right now."
Here's a sample of what was a typically tenuous Rondo interview after a 101-83 loss to Oklahoma City.
Do you feel like you're more of yourself out there every game? "I'm getting there."
Is it disappointing the way you guys came out tonight? "Yeah."
What happened? "We didn't get stops."
How do you judge your progress? "I just take it one game at a time."
Is there something you're looking for? "Yeah, but I don't want to say."
Fast Break: Kevin Durant-less Thunder strike down Celtics |
01.24.14 at 9:45 pm ET |
While Carmelo Anthony was scoring 56 points through three quarters at Madison Square Garden, the Celtics netted just 59 through 36 minutes in Boston, and the Kevin Durant-less, Russell Westbrook-less Thunder swept the parquet with them, 101-83, handing the C's their 16th loss in 19 tries.
Only Jeff Green (16 points on 17 shots), Gerald Wallace (13 points) and Brandon Bass (11 points) reached double figures for the Celtics (15-30). Rajon Rondo had five points, eight assists and two rebounds in his fourth game back — and first since resting on Wednesday.
No slim reaper: After setting the NBA world on fire over the past month, Durant rested against the Celtics. The Thunder surprised the media with news of Durant's apparent shoulder injury before the game. It was his first DNP of the season and only trip to Boston in 2013-14 — an unfortunate revelation a couple hours before tipoff for Celtics fans who paid to see one of the game's most fascinating players face their lottery-bound home team.
Lambasted: With Durant sitting and Westbrook still nursing an injured knee, the Celtics had a real chance to slow one the league's top-five offenses, but Jeremy Lamb had different ideas. The UConn product scored 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting in 15 first-half minutes, leading Oklahoma City to a 50-46 advantage at the break.
Rondo's reintroduction: As Brad Stevens has noted, Rondo is still in preseason form. The spacing of his minutes-per-quarter prevent him from getting into a rhythm, and he's not finishing around the rim for whatever reason (confidence, legs, confidence in his legs). After scoring a single point and missing all eight shots against the Heat and resting against the Wizards, Rondo finished with five points on seven shots.
Sharing is caring: With the unselfish duo of Rondo and Phil Pressey manning the point, the Celtics actually ran an offense, resulting in 10 assists on 11 buckets and a 73.3 field goal percentage in the first quarter. That trend tapered off a bit while 17 turnovers and the Thunder's 53.8 percent shooting didn't help matters.
Crashus Clay: In two home games since Rondo's return, Wallace has shown signs of life, scoring in the double digits and filling up the stat sheet. After posting a 14-4-5 with three steals and two blocks against the Lakers a week ago, he totaled three assists, two rebounds and three steals against the Thunder. Now, if he could only contribute on a more consistent basis, he might raise his grade from the first-semester report card.
Rajon Rondo: 'I wouldn't mind staying here for the rest of my career' |
01.24.14 at 7:55 pm ET |
If Danny Ainge is serious about extending Rajon Rondo then the Celtics point guard and freshly minted captain is serious about making Boston his long-term home.
Before Friday's game against the Thunder, Rondo acknowledged that his representatives have been in preliminary talks with the Celtics about a contract extension.
Rondo signed a five-year, $55 million rookie scale extension on Nov. 2, 2009. That deal pays him $11.9 million this season and $12.9 in 2014-15 before he becomes an unrestricted free agent before the 2015-16 season.
"I like to stick to the script," Rondo told reporters before returning to the starting lineup Friday night against Oklahoma City. "I don't like change much. I wouldn't mind staying here the rest of my career. Things don't always seem to go that way, but like I said before, it's just a business. I wouldn't mind extending another 10 years in Boston."
On Thursday, Ainge indicated that the team is interested in pursuing some type of contract extension with Rondo. Those talks, he said, would likely have to wait until after the season due to the nature of the collective bargaining agreement.
Of course, there's always the possibility that a contender looking for point guard help could make a push for Rondo at the trade deadline, which is Feb. 20.
Rondo was selected in the first round (21st overall) by the Celtics in the 2006 NBA draft. He is a four time All-Star and led the league in steals with 189 in 2000-10.
Kevin Durant (shoulder) to miss Oklahoma City Thunder game against Celtics |
01.24.14 at 7:10 pm ET |
At least the Celtics don't have to worry about Kevin Durant.
The Oklahoma City Thunder superstar will sit out Friday's game against the Celtics to rest his shoulder, dinged up in a win over the Spurs Wednesday night. Durant had 21 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in Oklahoma City's 119-96 win over the Celtics on Jan. 5 in Oklahoma City. The Thunder enter the game with a 33-10 mark, a half-game better than the Spurs for best record in the West.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks said before the game that Perry Jones will fill in for Durant.
"Kevin definitely loves the game. He's not one that looks forward to missing games," Brooks said. "The guy is a gamer. He loves to play."
Durant also loves to score, something he's done at will in the last nine games. Durant has scored at least 30 points in nine straight games, averaging 38.9 points over that run for the Thunder.
"It's the best thing for him. Until he's ready to play, he's not going to play, regardless of how he feels or what he wants to do. It's a medical decision," Brooks added.
For the first time in Thunder history Durant and Russell Westbrook won't be in their lineup.
"I never looked at it that way," Brooks said. "I know we've always had guys that step up. We have a team that takes challenges every night. You never want to be without your players, not only us but the entire league. Regardless of if he's a starter or not a starter, you want your entire roster to give yourself the best chance. We have more than enough to compete. Old coach of mine [said]: 'All you need is five.'"
Durant is certainly a leader in the early MVP race, averaging a league best 31.0 points. Durant has already won three NBA regular season scoring titles.
"I've seen Kobe Bryant score 40 points in nine straight games," Durant told NewsOK.com on Thursday. "Michael Jordan have 11 triple-doubles in 12 games. LeBron James have a month when he's averaging 35 points. So those guys, that's something to write home about."
As for Durant, he may or may not return for the Thunder's next game, in Philadelphia Saturday night. The
The Thunder, meanwhile, visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Brooks wasn't sure if Durant will be back for that game.
The Thunder don't figure to need Durant against the Sixers who, like the 15-29 Celtics, are bringing up the rear of the Atlantic Division.
LeBron James, Kevin Durant headline NBA All-Star Game starters |
01.23.14 at 9:44 pm ET |
The NBA announced the starters for the 2014 NBA All-Star Game, and naturally leading MVP candidates LeBron James and Kevin Durant are the leading vote-getters for the Eastern and Western conferences, respectively.
The roster includes no Celtics, who are in danger of failing to produce an All-Star for the first time since 2007, when Paul Pierce suffered through an injury-plagued season, and only the 10th time in the game's 63-year history.
Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green are the C's only hopes for a spot when the voting from coaches reveals the final seven Eastern Conference All-Stars on Jan. 30, but neither is expected the make the roster (unless Rondo receives the sympathy vote for his fifth selection). Each received more than 100,000 fan votes — well shy of a starting spot.
Old friends Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett edged out Rondo and Green in the fan voting for backcourt and frontcourt players, respectively, although Green received 26,006 more votes than Pierce. Here are your 2014 starters:
LeBron James (1,416,419 votes)
Paul George (1,211,318)
Carmelo Anthony (935,702)
Dwyane Wade (929,542)
Kyrie Irving (860,221)
Kevin Durant (1,396,294 votes)
Stephen Curry (1,047,281)
Kobe Bryant (988,884)
Blake Griffin (688,466)
Kevin Love (661,246)
Bryant, who received his 16th All-Star bid despite participating in just six games this season, will likely be replaced in the starting West backcourt by Chris Paul (804,309 votes) due to the Lakers star's knee injury.
Likewise, should Wade's knee injury keep him from participating in his 10th All-Star Game, John Wall (393,129) would be the second starting guard alongside Irving in the East. Among the remaining healthy Eastern Conference guards, only Allen received more votes than Rondo, but his fate lies in the coaches' hands now.

At 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 27, Jeff Seamans driving through Rapid City with his wife and stepdaughter on their way to Montana. Seamans was a passenger in the car when he went into cardiac arrest; his wife called 911 for help.
Officer Kathleen Callery was the first officer on scene, and was quickly joined by Officer Chris Hunt and Officer Michael Frybarger. The trio administered CPR and an AED shock while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. As the officers worked to save Seamans' life, nurse Laurie Mills drove past the scene. She jumped in to assist the officers, helping to administer chest compressions as medics arrived. EMS took over CPR, and within minutes, Seamans was breathing on his own. Seamans was transported to Rapid City Regional Hospital, where he recovered and was released several days later.
Mills was honored for her assistance with the Community Service Award. Chief Allender also awarded Officers Callery, Hunt, and Frybarger with the Life Saving Medal for their swift response. The Life Saving Medal may be given to officers for an act performed in the line of duty that, through disregard of personal safety or prompt and alert action, results in saving a life.

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Check Out Melissa Gorga's Christmas Card! (PHOTO)
The holiday cheer just keeps coming from the ladies of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yesterday we brought you the Giudice family's Christmas card, and now you can take a gander at the Gorga family masterpiece as well. Melissa Gorga posted this card to Instagram recently and we gotta say, we don't think it could be cuter. The card features the three Gorga children, Antonia, Gino, and Joey, each photoshopped into a Christmas ornament. The boys are full of wild enthusiasm, while Antonia shows off some of her cheerleading moves with what looks like a handspring. Impressive! The card also features a nice holiday message: "Capture the special moments of the Holiday season. May the good times of the present become your golden memories of tomorrow. Wishing you lots of love, joy and happiness! Love, Joe, Melissa, Antonia, Gino & Joey." We kinda adore this card. A little cheesy? Maybe. But it's totally in the spirit of the season, and we love the cute pics of the kids. Oh, and speaking of the spirit of the season, it looks like Melissa and Teresa really have put aside their differences, because they recently shared a cheerful family dinner. Do you think they sent each other Christmas cards?

In addition to never competing in the U.S. Open, Bradley has missed three of his last five cuts after a run of consistent finishes to start 2012. He still ranks first in All-Around Ranking, but Bradley needs to get his game turned back around in order to consider starting again.
Louis Oosthuizen [Yahoo Class C] - World Ranking: #44
Oosthuizen was on fire just a few months ago with three straight top-three worldwide finishes, but has missed three of his last four cuts.
Jason Day [Yahoo Class B] - World Ranking: #4
Day finished solo second in last year's U.S. Open, his first career start in the event. He was all over the place in the month of May with two top-10s and two missed cuts.

The US Was Operating In Mali Months Prior To French Incursion: Meet The "Intelligence and Security Command"
Submitted by legalizeliberty on Sun, 01/20/2013 - 16:42Last week we reported that in the aftermath of the so far disastrous French campaign to eradicate "rebels" in the north of Mali, because of their implied threat fo Europe, that "US Drones, Boots Arrive In Mali." Turns out we were wrong, and as the case virtually always is, for some reason there was already a US presence of at least three US commandos in Mali in the summer of 2012. What they were doing there remains a mystery, as it is a mystery if the ever co-present flip flops on the ground were there inciting the perpetual scapegoat Al Qaeda to do this, or that. Or maybe it was not the CIA. Maybe it was the Army's "little-known and secretive" branch known as the Intelligence and Security Command. Regardless, what becomes obvious is that while the US was on the ground and engaged in secret missions, it needed an alibi to avoid "destabilizing" the local situation once its presence became conventional wisdom. It got just that, thank to one Francois Hollande just over a week ago.

CNS PHOTO | ALESSIA PIERDOMENICO, REUTERSSeminarians wait for Pope Benedict to arrive March 4. |
Even though it's not easy to like every member of the Church, being part of Christ's body means accepting them all, Pope Benedict told seminarians.
During a March 4 visit to the Rome Diocese's seminary, the pope said God continues to call people to follow his Son.
The seminarians, once ordained, will have to realize that call in a parish where they will be called on "to accept, to support and to animate the whole parish and all the people — those who are nice, and those who are not so nice — who are part of this body."

Employment Lawyers Can Answer Your Employment Law Questions
Pre-Employment Credit Check
What is employment credit check?
An employment credit check could help give an individual the following information: A verification of an employee's social security number, toll filings and other common information. Employees being dishonest and deceiving the employer is a common occurrence and employment credit checks and help fight this common occurrence. When people face questions similar to this they can ask an Expert for legal insights. Listed below are five of the top employment credit check related questions.
If someone intend to work for HSBC, is doing a credit check and the party has a couple of bad credit issues on their report, can this stop the employee from getting the position they are applying for?
This is a subject of company judgment. Companies are used to seeing some problems and if they see the employee is trying to pay off their debts to solve the problem then the company should not have a problem but again it is a judgment call for the company.
Is it legal for an employer to do a credit check on someone and hire based on the results of the credit check?
In the federal Fair Credit Reporting law, the correct answer is yes. The individual could obtain additional information about the FCRA in
this publication
made by the Federal Trade Commission. If the employee is still unsure and would need further advice, they could ask an Expert.
If someone just had a job offer receded due to a credit check but know there was a bill on the floor called The Equal Employment for All Act, what would the employee's options be?
At this point in time, that certain bill has not passed yet. For that reason, the individual has no rights under it. If, later, the bill is approved and it is made retroactive (which is extremely doubtful) then the individual would have an official recourse.
In the state of Missouri, if an employee thinks they will be offered a job by a new employer soon and they currently have a bankruptcy on their record that has not been discharged yet, when they run all the background checks, will they be made aware of this?
If the employee has put their signature on a paper permitting the employer to complete a background or credit check; then the company will see this data. Missouri bylaws permits companies to seek their own guidelines concerning employing as long as it is not based on age, ethnic group, sex, disability, national origin, or beliefs. For more information about their own particular situation, the individual can ask an Expert.
Is it legal for an employer to use a credit check to determine whether or not to hire someone?
It is officially authorized for a company to use a credit check before employing a worker. In reality, it is an extremely general practice. There is a complete business geared to perform the background screening of potential workers for companies. Standard background examinations on a potential worker contain a criminal record check and a credit check. That is why having a good credit is a good idea for the employee.
Employment credit checks are a very personal topic. Employees may have questions and/or concerns about their
and may have questions regarding employment credit checks. Asking an Expert for legal insights can help a person find answers to their specific problems and questions.

Recent studies reveal that the Auto industry at Detroit has undergone a huge change. While companies like Ford and General Motors are flowing the make with their makes Detroit as a production city is shrinking.
Census states that Detroit has been losing about 65 people a day for the past ten years. Now point is that looks can be deceiving as the city seems to be doing really good in few spheres of life. The city's Cobo center hosts the annual North American International Auto show and also Detroit is seeing a sudden and new entrepreneurial spirit in its people off late.
The Chrysler Company has brought back to the city the successful Super Bowl this year which features Eminem and also the show Detroit 1-8-7, these have helped bring the city back to its limelight. Other contributing factors include the building of new skyscrapers, schools and churches that remind that this is not just an Auto City.

Lance Armstrong
Seven-time Tour de France winner. Armstrong was a professional road racing cyclist and survivor of testicular cancer who retired in early 2011. In June 2012, the US Anti-Doping Agency charged him of using illegal performance enhancing drugs based on evident of blood samples and other cyclists' testimony. Armstrong gave up fighting against the allegation in August. On October 22, Union Cycliste Internationale(UCI) announced it recognizes USADA' findings, banning Armstrong for life and stripping all his seven Tour de France titles.
UCI not fit to hear Lance Armstrong's case, says Usada's Travis Tygart
Usada chief says the UCI is tainted by allegations of a cover-up and should not rule over the case
Agence France-Presse
American jurors and US anti-doping officials should decide Lance Armstrong's fate rather than the International Cycling Union, the main investigator who has chased Armstrong for years has said.
As Spain's "Operation Puerto" trial opened yesterday, promising fresh doping revelations in the wake of the American rider's recent confession, US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) chief executive Travis Tygart said he thinks the US Justice Department should join a fraud case against Armstrong.
And Tygart also wants Armstrong to testify before Usada rather than the world cycling governing body UCI, saying Usada-gathered evidence contradicts Armstrong's claims that UCI never assisted him in covering up a positive test.
"He exonerated, essentially, the UCI and our information, and the evidence, is different than that," Tygart said. "I think their involvement was a lot deeper in him pulling off this heist than he was willing to admit to."
Tygart has imposed a February 6 deadline for Armstrong to testify under oath before Usada or lose any chance of having his life ban reduced.
"He would have to come in just like all 11 of his teammates did and testify truthfully about all of those who were involved with him pulling off this grand heist," Tygart said.
Armstrong's lawyers say the 41-year-old Texan, who was stripped of seven Tour de France titles based on Usada-gathered evidence, would not be able to meet the deadline and was likely to tell his story to the UCI, a group tainted in Tygart's mind where Armstrong is concerned.
"The access they had to inside information - to how the tests work, what tests went in place at what time, special access to the laboratory - he was on an entirely different playing field than all the other athletes," Tygart said.
Tygart wants to see Armstrong tell his story in court, specifically in a US$90 million fraud case brought by former Armstrong teammate Floyd Landis, himself an admitted dope cheat stripped of a Tour de France title.
The fraud lawsuit claims Armstrong lied about doping to get US Post Office sponsorship for the team that dominated the Tour de France for years.
"I think [the US government] have to join the suit," Tygart said. "I mean, we were surprised the criminal case didn't go forward based on the evidence that we had seen and generated through our investigation.
"So we'll be once again shocked if they don't join the suit.
"I think a jury should have an opportunity to decide whether the tens of millions of taxpayer dollars that were defrauded by this team and Lance Armstrong and his associates, whether or not the government should be paid back for that."
Armstrong denied taking any banned substances after 2005 but Tygart says plenty of evidence shows Armstrong's Tour de France efforts in 2009 and 2010 were enhanced by banned substances, which could help the fraud case against the cyclist.
Tygart also said Armstrong lied when he denied trying to buy Usada's silence.
"I received a phone call from one of his closest associates and they offered us the money," Tygart said, refusing to identify the middleman but saying there was no mistake about the attempt to pay Usada to back off.
Meanwhile, five people went on trial yesterday at a Madrid court for allegedly running a major doping ring that implicated several top professional cyclists, including former Tour de France winner Alberto Contador.
The case centres on a sophisticated network which was blown wide open on May 23, 2006 when Spanish police raided several apartments and a laboratory in Madrid and seized around 200 bags of blood as part of a probe dubbed "Operation Puerto".
The case, in which 35 witnesses are expected to testify, is due to last until March 22.

This is a 15 room, vintage strip, mom and pop motel. It has cinderblock walls and green and pink tile in the shower. This room was spotless!! Cleanest toliet we had seen in a long time. It comes with free wifi and a refrigerator. Our room key was taped to the office door when we got there and our reciept in the room so it is a little hard to rate the office staff. He was there when we needed to know the internet password. The beds are very springy and the furniture is older. The ice is in a chest type freezer and is bagged up in little buckets.
If you like a vintage place to stay, you will like the Starlight. If not, you better make reservations somewhere else.

Has anyone eaten at the dinner with Shamu? Was the food decent, the view worth the money? We are taking our 9 and 5 y.o. sons and thought this might be a nice "treat" for them. Thanks cheryl
My girls loved it. The earlier you book it the chances of getting right pool side are higher!! The food was decent, and it was in my opinion worth the money!
Thank you.....I tried booking for April, and they said they book 2 months in advance....so now I will be ready. Cheryl
I personally think it's overpriced for what it is. That said though, I have a kid who just can't get enough of Shamu and will be going to this for a third time in March of 2010. My son got to pick all the vacation activities for our March 2010 mini trip. It's a buffet (good, but not great food) and a half hour talk by one of the Orca trainers. On top of that one of the Orcas will do a few performance things in the little pool by the dining venue. The whole thing lasts for about an hour. 20 Trips with # 21 coming up // The boards, though, say Im just earning my ears. March 1971 KOA closest to Disney (camping) March 1972 Jellystone Park (camping) March 1974 Outdoor Resorts of America (camping) Dec. 1974 Outdoor Resorts of American (camping) March 1975 Outdoor Resorts of America (camping) Dec. 1975 Fort Wilderness (camping) Dec. 1976 Fort Wilderness (camping) Dec 1977 -- Outdoor Resorts of America (camping) Dec . 1986 Marriott Royal Palms (condo by Marriott World Center) May 1993 Disney Contemporary (Garden Wing) (hotel) Dec .1994 Polynesian Isles (condo) May 1999 Disney Contemporary (Main Building with high floor and Magic Kingdom view) (hotel) Dec. 2001 Cypress Pointe (condo) March 2003 Sheraton Vistana Cascades section (condo) March 2004 Sheraton Vistana Cascades section (condo) Dec. 2004 -- Cypress Pointe (condo) June 2006 Actually at my cousins condo (permanent residence) in Tampa (do day trips count?? This was a chance to really explore Busch Gardens too.) June 2007 Cypress Point Grandvillas (condo), Disney -- Port Orleans Riverside (hotel), and Sheraton Vistana Fountains section (condo) stayed three different places on this trip. Dec. 2008 Sheraton Vistana Resort (remodeled Fountains section) (condo) Oct. 2009 Hilton Garden Inn Seaworld (hotel) (Will be going again March 2010 staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Seaworld again)
Thank you, Kathy....that helps. The boys so want to do it, and we have spent too much money on dining in the past so the kids can see a particular show, that I will bend to their will for this too....one of the only things I will bend for Cheryl
Took my kids 8 & 4 this summer and they loved it!! I made my reservations early and we had front row seats for the three of us. The buffet had plenty of food that my kids liked to eat. I enjoyed it too!
I just posted this exact question! 4 of us would be just over $110 and want to know if its really worth it. My daughter loves anything sea animals.
Not to be the naysayer, but we booked this early, had the prime pool side seats, and then the weather kicked in. It kept getting darker and darker, and instead of starting the show a little early since it was obvious something was coming in, they waited the full 45 minutes while we were eating and did nothin, went to start the show and literally the second the guy started talking, a massive thunderstorm came through, and they canceled the entire show. No Shamu, no refund, no come back another time...nothing. So we ended paying all of that money for so-so food, and not even a teeny glimpse of Shamu. Very disappointing.
We did dine with shamu a few years ago. Our table was very far back, and could barely see the whale swimming around. The food was just ok. We would not consider doing this dining experience again.
My Wife and I did the Dine with Shamu a year ago this past November. We actually didn't have reservations and when the park first opened we went to reservations and made our ressie and at the time the lady at the desk told is there were only 8 other reservations for that night at that point so we knew it wouldn't be crowded. We were deciding between the Shark Dinner or Shamu. I did the Shark dinner the year prior so we opted for Shamu. It was def a cool experience, not something we do every trip but we wil for sure go again. The food was good from what I remember and it was a buffet. We had great seats and a great time!
I was surprised to see this pop up since I asked this a year ago. We actually couldn't do it last year due to the tragedy that occured. But we are thinking of doing it next time we go.
hee hee....that is funny. OT...how is living in FLA? We are thinking of re-locating in the next year and south is where I want to live!!! 2 young boys and a husband that need a change in weather. Cheryl
I love it!!!!! I have lived here my whole life minus 2 years. When I was 10 my parents moved all of us to Jersey to live with the grandparents so they could save up for a house. I could wait to get back down to Florida lol. As long as you the heat and humidity dont bother you too much then its great. No snow days, so everyday you have the opportunity for fun in the sun! Also we can wear shorts and flippy floppys all year long = )
I forgot to mention the most important thing! We are only a 2-3 hour drive to Disney, Universal and IOA, Sea World, soon Legoland, and then 4 hours to Busch Gardens. And 10 minutes away from the beach
Thanks...we love sun....love to be near parks....and I am in PT so there are lots of elderly homes to work in!!! cheryl
Do they still offer this? I looked online for dining experiences and did not see any meals offered with shamu. Saw an animal experience with jack hanna and a hawaiian dinner, that was it. Anyone know if this is offered? Linda
It is not currently offered but they are starting it again in Spring of 2011. It has been shut down since Feb of 2010 and the accident with Dawn. We are going and June and hoping to do it for my son's b-day...keep checking the website.

Flight Performance Questions from Lab Group Discussion of Popa-Lisseanu et al. 2007
Posted by matina1 on 29 Sep 2008 at 17:03 GMT
It is remarkable to think of a vespertilionid bat capturing a songbird while using an arial-hawking strategy and two questions arose based on flight capabilities. First, has there been any modeling of the flight performance impact of N. lasiopterus catching a songbird in flight (ie, loss of height, speed, agility)? Second, how does the ratio of predator body mass to prey body mass relate to other arial-hawking predators? If this is a common ratio, are there other species of vespertilionids, or other bats for that matter, that might be predators on migrating songbirds that use an arial hawking strategy?
RE: Flight Performance Questions from Lab Group Discussion of Popa-Lisseanu et al. 2007
anapopa replied to matina1 on 25 Oct 2008 at 16:07 GMT
We haven't done any models to test these questions. We know, however, that body mass does not entail a substantial problem for flight in the bats, at least not for commuting flight. Ibáñez et al. 2003 cites the case of a giant noctule which had a body mass of 72 g when captured, and around 18 h later, after being kept in a bag, its body mass had decreased to 61 g (a difference of 11 g). Note that mean body mass of the population is less than 50 g.
More of a problem is probably the killing, manipulation and consumption of the bird prey. Ibáñez et al. 2003 cites that aerial-hawking bats usually consume prey of up to 5% their own body mass (Fenton 1990, see Ibáñez et al. 2003), while they estimate that the birds consumed by N. lasiopterus could be up to 30% of the bat's weight. Based on this prey/predator mass relationship, they hypothesize that Ia io could also be a predator of migratory birds. Interestingly, this was later confirmed by Thabah et al. 2007.
The main problem that an aerial-hawking bat has while killing an aerial prey is that the bat's wings and tail are used for caging the prey in the process of hunting, and cannot be employed for active flight. Therefore the whole process needs be fast so as not to compromise flight. We hypothesized that bats would need to fly and hunt the birds very high to have time to manipulate a difficult prey while avoiding a collision with the ground. Our radar data show that this is true, and bats perform search flights over 500 m above the ground.

Create spectacular images from near, far and everywhere in-between with this compact telephoto zoom lens. Its versatile 10x zoom range is like having several lenses in one: shoot landscapes and group shots, portraits and extreme close-ups. Plus, built-in Vibration Reduction keeps your photos steady, even if your hands are not. Be ready for whatever comes your way.
An all-in-one lens that does it all.
When your inspiration knows no limits, you need a lens that can keep up—one that can shoot a beautiful sunset as easily as a nesting bird; the entire team as easily as a close-up of your favorite player. Meet the new 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR, a compact all-in-one zoom lens that delivers the benefits of a wide-angle and standard lens plus the high-powered zoom of a telephoto. Wherever your Nikon 1 adventures take you, the 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR will be ready to capture the views.Shoot what inspires you
10x telephoto zoom makes a wide range of shots possible
With the 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR on your Nikon 1, you'll be able to capture all the sights that inspire you. Zoom all the way out to 10mm (27mm equivalent on 35mm format) for a wider view that's great for group photos, landscapes, architectural shots and more. Zoom in halfway and frame a great portrait, or zoom all the way in to 100mm (270mm equivalent) for amazing close-ups of nature, sports, concerts and more.Get in close—even from afar
Telephoto zoom power with Vibration Reduction for sharp, clear images
The 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR packs enough zoom power to capture stunning close-ups of faraway subjects, opening exciting new shooting opportunities—birding, concerts, sporting events, graduations and so much more. The 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR includes Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization to keep your shots sharp; 2 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for accurate color; 3 Aspherical Lens Elements (AS) and 3 High Refractive Index (HRI) lens elements for superior contrast and color, as well as its compact construction.Enjoy the balance
Compact, lightweight size is a great fit for your Nikon 1 camera
Like all 1 NIKKOR lenses, the 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR is designed to be a compact, well-balanced match to your Nikon 1 camera. Fully collapsed, the lens is just 2.7-inches in length—for telephoto zoom power in an extra small package! Comfortably bring your Nikon 1 and 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR wherever you go.
Vibration Reduction
A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.
AS stands for Aspherical lens elements. This type of lens utilizes non-spherical surfaces on either one or both sides of the glass in order to eliminate certain types of lens aberration.
HRI stands for High Refractive Index Lens. With a refractive index of more than 2.0, one HRI lens can offer effects equivalent to those obtained with several normal glass elements and can compensate for both field curvature and spherical aberrations. Therefore, HRI lenses achieve great optical performance in an even more compact body.
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
IF Lens
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Strengthening your shooting grip | |
08/06/2010 | |
Using a variety of grip strengthening tools available from IronMind, police officers can significantly increase hand strength in a way that exactly replicates the shooting grip. The key is isolating the work to just the grip fingers, holding that for a number of seconds, and working your trigger finger in a way you would when shooting. |

Hi truthorarepics, I like my women shaved. Once in a jaccuzi I shaved my wifes pussy. I started with electric clippers (battery powered), the vibrations made her cum instantly. Then I went for the razor. She came again making it a little scary with her twitching like that. When I was done she rinsed off and I ate her out for awhile. We then went straight for the bed and by the time we got there she was so hot she came again before I could even get my dick in. Needless to say I was sore and completely worn out before she would let me stop pumping her. We took a picture of her recently shaved pussy leaving only a landing strip. - Muro

Dancing With the Stars 2014: Do Ice Dancers Have an Unfair Advantage on Season 18?
Two of the five athletes competing on Dancing With the Stars Season 18 are gold-medal-winning Olympic ice dancers. The word "dancer" is right there in their job descriptions and they are considered the world's best. So is it fair for them to be competing on the same playing field as, say, 76-year-old actor Billy Dee Williams? When Team USA's Charlie White and Meryl Davis first considered joining the show, a lot of fans loved the idea, but others thought they'd have too big an advantage. Kristi Yamaguchi smoked (or iced?) the competition back on Season 6 and she didn't even have "dancer" in her Olympic title. It just seems obvious that Charlie and Meryl will do well and they seem like clear targets for the "ringer" label. Vegas gives Meryl the best odds to win and we can't really argue with that. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them being here, but every season the previous dance experience debate emerges and this year it's like they're daring us not to question Charlie and Meryl. What is the difference between them and the pros? Then again, we've seen the "ringer" label backfire. The best dancer doesn't always — or even often — win DWTS. Consider the past two seasons: Both Zendaya and Corbin Bleu battled ringer labels through their entire seasons, taking second in part because some people felt they had too much dance background to even be there. What will those same people say to two Olympic ice dancers? Olympians tend to do well on this show, for a number of reasons, but they don't always win. Shawn Johnson won Season 8 but she took second on All-Stars. Evan Lysacek also took second on Season 10. Apollo won Season 4 but had to settle for fifth in All Stars, and Vegas initially gave him best odds to win that season. Sometimes the more obvious it seems that you'll do well, the less people want to help you do it. That, in part, is how a guy like Bill Engvall was able to outlast a strong dancer like Elizabeth Berkley. The judges may adore Meryl and Charlie, but they may also hold them to a much higher standard. (Remember how much they nit-picked Corbin?) Even if Meryl and Charlie dominate the judges' leaderboard, will that just push some fans to vote for the "underdogs"? And who are the underdogs this season, beyond perhaps our two stars over 60? We have two young pop stars with giant fan bases in Cody Simpson and James Maslow, and musicians tend to have great natural musicality as it is. We also have Danica McKellar, who has some ballroom dance experience but isn't famous for it, so it's not so obvious as to be a double-edged sword. Who really has the biggest advantage on Dancing With the Stars? The celeb with the most previous dance training? The one with the most natural talent? The one with the biggest fan base? The one who's paired with This or That pro? If Meryl or Charlie wins this season, we'll probably hear cries that it was unfair. If they don't win, we may also hear cries that it wasn't fair, for different reasons. Where do you stand on the idea that they have an advantage, because of their status as the top ice dancers in the world? Unfair? Totally fair? Will you need to see them in action to decide? Sound off in the comments below!

Libor, the interest rate at the centre of an international rate-rigging investigation, must not be scrapped hastily and any shift to alternatives should be gradual to avoid market disruption, the derivatives industry's leading global body said.
Reform of the London interbank offered rate is inevitable after Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) were hauled before British and US regulators. Barclays was fined a record $US450 million in June for attempted manipulation of the rate and RBS is expected to be the next bank to settle.
Britain's Financial Services Authority is publishing its recommendations for legal changes to Libor on September 28.
However, the prospect of changes to a benchmark used as a basis for pricing $US350 trillion of products from home loans to credit cards has alarmed the derivatives market, a major user of the rate for its complex financial products.
Stephen O'Connor, chairman of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and managing director of Morgan Stanley, said on Thursday that Libor remained hugely relevant economically and is necessary for the off-exchange derivatives market to function properly.
Replicating Libor across derivatives would be a very large and difficult task, he told the ISDA's annual conference. "Libor must continue to be published."
The authorities should encourage banks to continue to participate in setting Libor in the short and medium term until a longer-term solution is in place, O'Connor added.
Libor is compiled by a panel of banks submitting quotes for the interest rate at which they believe they could borrow from one another.
Reform of Libor governance and setting was needed, O'Connor acknowledged, but he said that the transition of existing contracts to a new regime must be very carefully planned and managed.
"There are limits to the amount of change that can be accommodated," he said.
Hasty changes might see market participants claiming that the nature of their existing contracts are different to what was originally intended, which could spark disruptive legal issues.
The ISDA, which represents the bulk of the banks and other participants in the world's $US650 trillion derivatives market, said it would be able to make changes required by regulators for new contracts based on a reformed Libor or alternatives that are backed by users.
"Even the regulators understand they are not going to be in any position to impose a new rate on markets," ISDA chief executive Robert Pickel said.
O'Connor expects regulators to supervise Libor more directly but to stop short of producing the benchmark rate themselves.
Thomson Reuters, parent company of Reuters, has been calculating and distributing Libor rates for Libor's sponsor, the British Bankers' Association, since 2005.

Ben Stone: True love! They'd trade each other for a nickel.
Det. Sgt. Maxwell "Max" Greevey: [Referring to the murder weapon] ... and guess who it was registered to?
Ben Stone: Himes, Gilbert?
Detective Mike Logan: Nope. And not to Ralston, Janet, either.
Ben Stone: [Surprised] Ralston, Alan?
[Leans his head in his hands]
Ben Stone: Great. He was killed with his own gun.
Det. Sgt. Maxwell "Max" Greevey: [Referring to a shooting victim who Max suspects isn't as innocent as she seems] That's amazing. I know cops who been in shooting cases that can't remember their badge numbers afterwards. Her husband gets shot, she gets shot, victim of a horrible crime, she remembers every second.
Ben Stone: Either she's evil, or she's two years old. She wants what she wants when she wants it.
Janet Ralston: You don't scare me, Mr. Stone.
Ben Stone: Oh yes I do, Mrs. Ralston. I scare you a great deal. And I should.
Det. Sgt. Maxwell "Max" Greevey: I hate horseback riding. Scares the hell out of me.
Detective Mike Logan: Scary for the horse, too.
Gordon Schell: It's a crime of passion, Stone. Pure and simple.
Ben Stone: A crime of passion is never pure, and it's certainly not simple.
