For as much as NBA teams spend on players, coaches, scouting, technology, it’s hard to imagine how NBA teams can overlook the obvious which would probably help them win a few more games: A practice court that players could use while the game is in session. The same actually applies to college basketball teams too. Actually I overlooked the obvious too till I just posted yesterday on why an NBA team should sign Northern Iowa Guard Ali Farokhmanesh who beat UNLV and Kansas with his clutch and fearless shooting and use him in the last seconds when a score is tied or the team is losing and I later thought well its hard to make a basket if you haven’t been playing the whole game and have to shoot for the first time. Just then I had my Beavis and Butthead Light bulb idea and I thought that why don’t NBA teams have a practice court out of sight where players can shoot and be more warmed up if they’re not needed in the game right away. If some NBA teams are already doing this I apologize for my ignorance but if not, why not? I know some NBA players have at times ridden exercise bikes in the locker room during a game so why not have them take shots on another court while the game is in session if they’re not already needed? This would be perfect for a team that has a specialty long range shooter who hardly ever plays except for last second long field goal attempts.

The thing that drives me crazy about the NBA and other pro sports is that most NBA teams never seem to value or consider how good or bad a college player is in the clutch. You would think that would count for something in pro sports but it just doesn’t seem to factor in. Nothing personal against San Diego Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding but what exactly is the point of having a great football kicker if they’re not great in the clutch? Which brings Northern Iowa’s Ali Farokhmanesh to mind. The 5′9″ listed as 6′ Northern Iowa basketball guard almost singlehandedly helped Northern Iowa beat two higher ranked NCAA opponents: UNLV and the University of Kansas in the first 2 rounds of the 2010 NCAA Basketball tournament on clutch shots. The latest one, Ali Farokhmanesh three point field goal with 30 seconds left on the time clock against Kansas was as pure clutch and fearless a basketball shot as I’ve ever seen. It’s one thing to take a shot with just a few seconds left on the basketball clock in a tight game against a tough opponent but it’s another to squeeze the trigger and take a long shot at the basket with so much time left on the shot clock at the end of a close basketball game when you’ve missed 7 shots in a row. I think most basketball players unless you’re a Michael Jordan, a Kobe Bryant or a Larry Bird, no matter how good you are a shooter wouldn’t have the guts to take a long three point field goal attempt with that much time left on the clock at the end of the game but Ali Farokhmanesh because he has that much faith in his ability wasn’t afraid to take the shot that beat Kansas.

Unfortunately because of Ali Farokhmanesh’s height, I extremely doubt many NBA teams will be interested in Ali Farokhmanesh in the NBA draft or giving him a fair shot at making their team which is a shame. I know if I coached an NBA team, I would always have as my “12th” and last man on my bench a player who could hit and wasn’t afraid to take a three point shot at the end of a game with my team losing or tied. Chances are if the team sets up an adequate screen, the player’s height won’t factor in that final shot, just their ability to make it. Unfortunately that mentality does not seem to be part of most NBA teams mentality. All of which is a shame as a player with the heart and ability of Ali Farokhmanesh belongs in the NBA.

I stopped following baseball years ago as I consider it a dull, boring game but I do know the name of Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg who is supposed to be a once in a lifetime pitching prospect, a modern day Sandy Koufax. Stephen Strasburg is clearly the best pitcher on the Washington Nationals lousy baseball team and this year in Spring Training facing Major League Hitters for the first time went went 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA, allowed eight hits, walked one and struck out 12 in nine innings and for all this was sent to the minor leagues today because another so called sports genius legend in his own mind, Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said, “I’m not a believer that a player can come from amateur baseball and step right into the major leagues. I’ve seen terrific prospects attempt it and the failure rate is too great. This is a prized asset.” Apparently, to quote Sports Illustrated online, the Washington Nationals brain trust, which is a total oxymoron as the Nationals won 59 Games and Lost 103 games last year, told “baseball’s top pitching prospect he needed to slow down his delivery from the stretch in order to speed up his arrival in the majors”. Forget the fact he’s probably the best pitcher on the Washington Nationals staff and that he’ll draw huge attendance to Nationals baseball games on days he starts.

The thing I hate about a lot of sports teams is that they are run by a bunch of idiots. Yeah, I don’t have much baseball knowledge but I do know that one improves only when facing experienced major league players not minor leaguers. If Stephen Strasburg truly needs to improve something in his game so much, as the Washington Nationals have made a multimillion dollar investment in him why doesn’t Mike Rizzo just hire some retired major league pitching star with excellent mechanics and pay him his asking price just to work as Stephen Strasburg’s private individual pitching coach while he pitches in the majors and gets experience? Duh! But I’m sure Mike Rizzo and the Washington Nationals brain trust know better as they were smart enough to have a 59 win 103 loss baseball season last year. The dumb stay dumber. I feel sorry for you Washington Nationals baseball fans. You deserve better.

I’m sure that most of you reading this post have seen a certain nude picture of Lynda Carter online and I’m not talking about muddy still photos taken from the movie “Bobbie Joe and the Outlaw”. I, like I’m sure many of you, dismissed this photo because it was also propagated online that it was a photo shopped picture. As a result, I hadn’t thought of this Lynda Carter photo for years nor bothered to look at it again. The other day though I stumbled on an interesting controversy online reported on several different blogs in the past in which a lot of people insist that Lynda Carter did in fact pose nude for a “faux” Playboy Centerfold picture to be used in the movie “Apocalypse Now” for which Lynda Carter was to portray a Playboy Centerfold in “Apocalypse Now” and even though this Lynda Carter “Playboy Centerfold” shot was not used in Apocalypse Now and Lynda Carter scene(s) was deleted, the nude picture online is genuine and not photo shopped. Oh to clarify further, apparently there were production delays on the set and eventually Lynda Carter had to begi filming “Wonder Woman” so she left “Apocalypse Now” but after her “Centerfold” shot had been taken.

I consider the Lynda Carter Apocalypse Now Centerfold circulating on the internet an urban legend which possibly can be true. In the movie, the Centerfold used was that of actress Colleen Camp who played the Playboy Centerfold in the movie. Rumor is the picture of Lynda Carter online is really that of Colleen Camp with Lynda’s face photo shopped on. Yet other sources have said its really Colleen Camp’s face photo shopped on Lynda Carter’s body. I don’t know if we’ll ever know the answer to this but thought I should bring this to me readers attention to decide for themselves. The pictures are above and I apologize for leaving out what you wanted to see but unfortunately there are some rules that this Blog has to abide by beyond our control. Let me know what you think. Another rumor is that Mr. Playboy, Hugh Hefner has the original Lynda Carter centerfold in his private vault with instructions to destroy it when he’s dead. Aw, Hef, give a brother a break!

Nothing turns off a woman more than bad teeth which include stained yellowed teeth. Bad teeth and teeth that aren’t that white indicate to a woman that: 1. You don’t care about yourself, 2. You are not doing well financially because if you were you wouldn’t have cosmetically bad teeth and 3. You have poor hygiene and don’t take care of yourself. Assuming your teeth are OK you might consider cosmetic tooth whitening by a Dentist if you want to attract more women. If you have bad teeth to begin with, you probably should get them fixed first because you want to have the whitening match all your teeth as much as possible and dental crown, bridges and bonds all are colored slightly different then your regular teeth.

You can have your teeth whitened in one session at a dentists office or by yourself at home over a period of time for a much cheaper tooth whitening cost using the tooth whitening gel the dentist gives you and the device he makes to hold the gel in over your teeth. I’ve done both and let me tell you its a night and day difference when you have a tooth whitening procedure done in one session at the Dentist’s office. The price is usually pretty expensive but in my opinion its worth it. A few years ago my dentist charged $750 for a whitening in one sitting but today my dentist and many others have lowered their prices to $275 affordable teeth whitening specials if you catch them at the right time.

I just had my teeth whitened in one sitting last week and this is my experience, both good and bad. I’m not even going to discuss the whitening your teeth at home alternative, as in my opinion the results are mediocre and not on the same planet as having it done in one session at the dentist office.

The thing I didn’t like about having my teeth whitened in one session at the dentist office is that at least in my case the dentist was not involved in the process at all and in fact I didn’t see him the day I had it done. Instead a dental technician (I’m not sure if it was a Dental Hygienist) is the sole person who does the dental whitening. They initially match up the color to achieve results based on your tooth coloring and ask for your opinion on it and from there match up the dosage and what whitening agent(s) they use on your teeth. They then pack your gums totally with gauze and put a suction in your mouth. I found this incredibly uncomfortable. They then put the whitening agents over your teeth, put goggles on your eyes and then you go under ultraviolet light in 15 minute intervals, 3 times. You are not allowed to rinse at all or drink water. Truthfully I found these 15 minute sessions very uncomfortable and it almost felt like I was choking at times. My teeth per se didn’t hurt or bother me but the gauze and suction did. Some people in fact can only take one 15 minute session at a time and come back for the remaining two 15 minute sessions.

I managed to last through all 3 sessions and was astonished at how white my teeth now were. I wasn’t expecting such a perfect result. My gums were incredibly sore though and the suction had been rubbed against the left side of my mouth in such a way that it irritated the inside skin and caused a slight blister that had some minor bleeding. I felt really uncomfortable and somewhat groggy and out of it for the next 5 days and had to take Tylenol around the clock. I don’t know why they won’t give you regular pain killer. The first 2 days honestly were a blur and I just stayed home and rested in bed. Eventually the uncomfortable feeling went away. The bottom line is, if you want your teeth to look perfectly white, you’ll have to go through this crap which of course they don’t tell you in advance. The results though as I said were fantastic but you’ll have to weigh for yourself if a week of discomfort is worth it to get white teeth and attract women!

I think a stalker taking peeping tom video of ESPN Reporter Erin Andrews naked and unguarded and posting the Erin Andrews video online was horrible, beyond contempt and a total violation of Erin Andrews. I hope Erin Andrews wins millions of dollars in hotel lawsuits but unfortunately all the money in the world can’t compensate her for losing part of her innocence. Even the Search engines are displaying unauthorized still nude pictures of Erin Andrews taken from her stalkers video. Having said that, what the hell is Erin Andrews doing going on “Dancing With the Stars“? Instead, of just trying to put her victimization behind her and regain her privacy as much as she can, she’s now going to have millions of curiosity seekers and pervs checking her out wearing sexy dance outfits on TV. If this is Erin Andrews saying, “Screw You, You’re Not Going to Destroy My Life, Look at Me”, while certainly admirable she’s also totally wrong and overcompensating for what happened to her in a misguided way. It’s Erin Andrews life and she can do with it what she wants but in my personal opinion she’s made a huge mistake.

Let’s face it, Erin Andrews and many other women like her got ahead in part using her sex appeal and dressing in such a way that men couldn’t help but notice her large breasts which is her right. Before I get bombarded by hate calls by women, Erin Andrews made that decision to use her sex appeal to help her get ahead and she should have known in today’s day and age that men would be drooling all over her TV image and more. Irregardless, Erin Andrews did not deserve to be violated by a stalker shooting nude videos of her and posting them online. No one does.

My point however is that if a woman wears sexy tight clothes to emphasize her breasts and figure on TV to get ahead in this totally imperfect world chances are she will wind up attracting unwarranted attention from men and women should realize that. Erin Andrews instead of slowly easing back into her TV career for ESPN and have interest in this horrible violation done to her eventually die down as much as it can is now doing the opposite which is her business but I don’t get it and yes I know it’s none of my business! Myself, if I was in Erin Andrews shoes, I would probably just leave the United States and lie low and start a new life for myself with the lawsuit money she’ll be collecting. Of course I never particularly liked my job and Erin Andrews probably does so maybe that’s not an option for her. Alternatively, she could just take a long leave of absence from ESPN, lie low and go back to work when she’s ready. She may have in fact done that. I honestly hope that her “Dancing with the Stars” decision works for her but realistically I don’t think it will but I hope I’m wrong.

For any of you who were fans of Excello Records, the premier American Swamp Rock Blues Record label in the 50’s home of the great blues men: Slim Harpo, Lazy Lester, Lightnin’ Slim, Charles Sheffield, Roscoe Shelton, Lonesome Sundown, Silas Hogan and Arthur Gunter, an English rock group The Excellos named after the record company that in influenced them, have become the keepers of the Excello Records flame, playing both classic Excello Swamp rock and original swamp rock with Excello Roots. I’m really surprised nobody thought of doing what The Excellos did sooner. I discovered them surfing the web and was absolutely knocked out. Unlike most bands who’s original’s can’t match their influence’s covers, The Excellos originals exceed them! Quite simply they are “The Beatles of Swamp Rock”. I love their sound, image and their sole album, The Excellos. Craig Shaw on vocals, harmonica and guitar seems to be the “Front Man” from what I can gather and he looks like he should star in a 1950s drive in movie or TV series battling Zombies and Supernatural Geeks. Check out those incredible Sideburns-Is this not one of the greatest looks ever for a Rock Star:

The fill lineup of the Excellos is:

Craig Shaw Vocals, Harmonica, Lead Guitar
Adam Wakefield Cigar Box Guitar, Double Bass, vocals
Trev TC Collins Drums
Paul Sheahan Rhythm Guitar

The Excellos CD album really sounds like it was authentically recorded in the 50’s and bravo to whoever produced this fantastic album- there’s sadly no producers credit. This is the first album I ever played that seems to have a drug induced hypnotic effect on me and I feel like I’m actually experiencing living in the 50’s listening to The Excellos. Every track is great and total grit and cuts like a razor blade against wire. The album opens with a great cover of “Got Love it You Want it” and unofficially ends with a great cover of “Shake Your Hips (there is actually a hidden version “Meet Me at the Bottom” which follows). In between there are outstanding originals, the best being the infectious “You Don’t Care”, “Jekyll & Hyde”, “Jump” and the best original instrumental I’ve heard in like forever, “Kasbah”. Each of The Excello members contribute songwriting and they all do it really well.

Tracks
1 I Got Love If You Want It
2 Catfish
3 You Don’t Care
4 Jekyll & Hyde
5 Bad Boy Blues
6 Draw The Line
7 Black Betty
8 Cold Coffee
9 Jump
10 Sonny Rising
11 Kasbah
12 Lucky Charm
13 Suzy Q
14 Scratch & Sniff
15 Shake Your Hips
16 Down In The Bottom (Hidden Track)

If Hollywood or the TV Industry were smart, they would use this great Excellos debut album as the backdrop of their TV Show or Movie- they should do a whole episode of “Cold Case” or CSI using this album and as I said, the Excellos are the Beatles of Swamp Rock. Rock On! Please check out our large Online Discount Gift Store Click Here and our other Online Discount Stores below which helps support this politically incorrect blog. Thank you.

I just got a brand new laptop, an Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 15.6″ Notebook featuring Windows 7 which I absolutely love and is a night and day improvement over my previous XP Toshiba Tecra A8-S8513 Notebook. In my opinion at around $695 the Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 is the Best Notebook Value one will find. This is a mixed review though as the Acer Computer Company in my opinion is a bunch of Rip Off Scam Artists and the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life. More about that later.

The Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 is easily the fastest notebook/laptop I’ve ever had and the internal speakers are the best laptop speakers I ever heard, albeit that still doesn’t make them fantastic considering that internal laptop speakers suck but the sound of the Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 is decent and high on the food chain of internal laptop speakers. I can play rock CDs and mp3 files and watch DVDs and videos and the sound is a decent representation of what I would hear on my home audio system though not in the league of a home/audio video system. Windows 7 is so much better and easier to use then XP, its not funny. I’m fairly computer literate and it took me about 3 days to get the hang of Windows 7 but it is a vast improvement over XP. My internet surfing also seems faster and its easier to multitask as I can now for example run at the same time a registry scan and a virus scan on 2 different programs which for whatever reason I couldn’t do before. My favorite feature of Windows 7 though is that by the far right hand corner next to the clock is there is now a small black box which when you click it immediately puts you on the desktop screen! I can also play blu-ray discs on the Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 and the picture and sound is excellent. My boot up and shut down time is very fast and the shut down time is just a few short seconds while on my previous computer it took several annoying minutes. I don’t know if this is all due to the Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 Intel Core i3-330M(2.13GHz) or Windows 7 or both, but the improvement is startling. The notebook is very light and so light in fact that when I open up the latch to pull up the monitor screen I need to hold down the notebook body (the source area by the keypad) which is no problem. The Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 is very nice looking cosmetically. The keys on the keyboard are flat and large and took me about 5 days to get used to- at first it was very uncomfortable and I kept making typing errors but around the fifth day I felt very comfortable with it. Apparently Acer makes all they keyboards on their new laptops this way.

The Acer Computer Company A Bunch of Scam Arrogant Rip Off Idiots in My Opinion

For as much as I love the Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 15.6″ Notebook, the Acer Computer Company in my personal opinion is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with in my life and they ripped me off for almost $120 with what I believe to be a total scam. I had a problem with the Auto run function (the function that plays a CD or DVD immediately once you put it in the “D” drive) and instead of these idiots at Acer just telling me to reset the Notebook to the original factory settings- mind you I had told them I had just gotten the laptop 3 days ago, their cheap contracted out service in India I believe consisting of people who in my opinion don’t even grasp the concept of Windows 7, after wasting my time for over a half an hour directed me to their Second Line Technical Help. They of course didn’t tell me when they gave me the Second Line Phone Number- I did find it very strange they didn’t transfer me, that there would be a charge of $59.95 each half hour.

The bottom line is instead of just advising me to reset the computer to the factory settings, they ultimately charged me close to $120 to tell me that! I’ve filed a credit card dispute as a result. Their lousy Warranty apparently doesn’t cover Software which is like a woman telling you after you’ve married her that she won’t have sex! In fairness, several other people have told me other Computer Companies are also not covering software and not giving out software assistance any more.

So the bottom line is the Acer Aspire AS5740-5749 15.6″ Notebook is a great laptop notebook for the price, $692 and presents best notebook value but the Acer Computer Company is one of the worst companies in the world in my opinion.

I was watching CSI Las Vegas the other night in a episode dealing with missing evidence and just then it hit me, are most real life police stations so stupid that it doesn’t occur to them to put some basic controls in the police evidence room to prevent forensic evidence from being missing or stolen?

Honestly, how hard is it to install cameras in the police evidence room and to conduct an annual inventory of the evidence to make sure its still there? Yes an inventory may be time consuming especially with layoffs in the police force but when you think about it, it should be a requirement. They should also insist that 2 policemen put the evidence away at one time and that no one is allowed to look and open up evidence without another policeman being there.

I’m a civilian and I’m basing what I’m saying strictly on what I’ve seen on cop TV shows and shows like Dateline and 4 Hours Mystery and maybe what I’m saying is already being done. It just seems that based on what I see on TV it’s like the Police are encouraging trial evidence including dna evidence to be missing or stolen by not doing enough to prevent it. I guess the motto of this story is not to break the law in the first place!

I don’t know about you but every time I put on new shoes and new sneakers I get awful blisters on the back of my heel and its utter agony. Well here is a quick down and dirty easy way to break in new sneakers easily and avoiding blisters and pain:

As soon as you buy a new pair of sneakers immediately put them in a washing machine with just a pinch of detergent and nothing else in the washing machine and set the machine to “Delicate”. If you bought several pairs of new sneakers you can put them in as well. Once your wash cycle is finished do not put the sneakers in the dryer but instead just leave them to dry by themselves for several days in your home - I’d recommend 3 or 4 days. Then put them on your feet and they should feel totally comfortable and you shouldn’t be getting any blisters on the back of your heel and/or feeling any more pain. Just make sure they’re the right size to begin with!
