NBA Stretch Drive Notes

With the playoffs just around the corner, some teams are getting themselves ready for the real season, while others have already packed it in. San Antonio is quietly getting its playoff defense in line. Notice the Spurs are on an impressive 9-1 SU, 7-3 ATS run. San Antonio’s stellar defense sent a message to rival Phoenix last week, holding the Suns to just 85 points! Their bench is helping to lead the run, too.

With a victory over the Golden State Warriors, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said that with only six regular-season games remaining he has given up on the notion of returning to the starting lineup before the playoffs begin. Ginobili had another energizing performance off the bench. He scored 25 points and had seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in the Spurs’ 112-99 victory. He has come off the bench in 35 games after starting 39. Most important, he’s been off the bench lately while the Spurs are on a 9-1 run. Teams want to be healthy and peaking at this time of the season.

Which brings me to Miami. Dwyane Wade is expected to return to the lineup soon, likely as 6th man. Wade’s return will come at a crucial time for the Heat. It is a game behind Toronto for the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, with home-court advantage at stake. Probably more important than Miami’s chances of repeating as champs is the health risk to their young star. A patient in Wade’s age group who dislocates his shoulder and does not have surgery is 75 percent more likely to dislocate the shoulder again. At least we know Miami’s defense is ready for the playoffs: They are 10-4 under the total the last 14 games, and one game only went over because of overtime against Cleveland.

A chief competitor to Miami and Detroit in the East is going to be Chicago. The Bulls will likely be the second seed in the Eastern Conference. Hard to believe this team started the season 3-9 (of course, Dallas started 0-4). The biggest difference between the Bulls now and the inconsistent bunch from two months ago is the improvement of rookie Tyrus Thomas.

Over the last couple of weeks, Thomas has taken a major step up. He is playing better defense, is rebounding on both ends and has learned how to use his explosiveness to score. The other major reason for the Bulls’ improvement is more consistent play from guard Kirk Hinrich. He has done a better job of avoiding foolish early fouls and is more aggressive offensively. His scoring average had risen to 16.7 points and is shooting 41.1 percent from three-point range. After struggling on the road all season, Chicago is 6-1 SU, 5-2 ATS its last 7 away from the United Center.

A team out West to watch is Houston — namely, are they healthy or not? Stars Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady missed a loss to Portland over the weekend because of back problems. They’ve been inconsistent, as well. In an 86-83 defeat to Utah the Rockets were outscored 9-2 in the final two minutes. Against Golden State, Yao was limited to four field-goal attempts. Even more distressing to coach Jeff Van Gundy is the Rockets’ poor play came when Houston was so close to the No. 4 seed in the West.

“I don’t know why, but they don’t get the importance of the home-court advantage,” Van Gundy said. “They just don’t get it. Watch what we’re doing right now. That’s telling you that we don’t get it.” Think he’s a tad mad? The one bright spot: guard Bonzi Wells logged just over 22 minutes in Friday’s loss to Portland, his first playing time since Feb. 28. Perhaps adding a key veteran can get them more focused, but they’d better hurry as time is running out on the NBA regular season! Good luck, as always, Al McMordie.

Hoodia Diet Pills Reviewed

There’s a lot of competition in the diet supplement industry. With so many options to choose from how does someone know which one to buy? Read on, dear reader, as we have put the top supplements to the test. We have ranked them in order of their effectiveness.

  1. Phentramin - Coming in at number one for a number of reasons, Phentramin is the most effective diet supplement we have ever seen. Unlike many supplements, Phentramin does exactly what it says it will do- and it does so with no or little side effects.

    Phentramin is taken via two doses (one in the early morning and early afternoon) and integrates seamlessly into anyone’s routine. The pills themselves are easy to swallow and didn’t leave us with any bad breath after we took them.

    Value: 4.5/5 Effectiveness: 4.5/5 Availability: Online Side Effects: Little/None.

  1. Tru Hoodia Complex - A good value and a good product. Full benefits took a bit longer than Phentramin, but at the end of the test period True Hoodia Complex did its job. We saw little side effects. Though we’d recommend Phentramin, True Hoodia Complex will work if you are unable to find Phentramin.

    Tru Hoodia Complex is taken before each meal. At three meals a day this gives you a 20 day supply. Though simple enough to take, we imagine that many people would simply forget to take the pills with them when they went out or while they were at work.

    Value: 4.5/5 Effectiveness: 4/5 Availability: Online Side Effects: Little/Few

  1. Fast-Action Hoodia Diet - Fast-Action Hoodia Diet combines the main ingredient in all Hoodia pills (Hoodia Gordonii) with a green tea extract to create a supplement that controls your appetite while giving you more energy to boot.

    This product should be taken before each meal (up to three times a day). As well, the manufacturer warns against taking Fast-Action Hoodia Diet in the late evening as it contains natural caffeine from the green tea.

    Value: 3/5 Effectiveness: 3.5/5 Availability: Online Side Effects: Restlessness

  1. Hoodia Gordonii by LA Naturals - This one is different from the other products reviewed because it is taken as a drop as opposed to a pill. It comes in the form of a medicine dropper, and you put 30 drops into a large glass of water approximately 20 minutes or so before your meal. It does not contain any other ingredients or additives- it is only an appetite suppressant.

    We saw good results with this one, but there are other products that offer the same results (and often a bit more). If increased energy isn’t a big concern for you then this may be what you’re looking for. However, we ranked this one last because Phentramin and Tru Hoodia Complex did what this product does - and more - while also offering other benefits.

    Value: 3/5 Effectiveness: 3/5 Availability: Online Side Effects: Little/None

Royal Flush - K.C. in the Toilet Again

The Royals are widely known as the worst team in baseball. Improvement came in 2006, but it looked more like a tortoise than a hare as K.C. gained only six more victories from 2005 to make it over the 60-win mark for the season.

It can’t get any worse for the Royals so I think we can feel safe about picking them to improve again in 2007, but it will most assuredly not be a drastic turnaround as the Royals would like.

If you looked up Kansas City Royals in the dictionary, my guess is, it would say “last place.” That was the case in 2005 and 2006 and it will be again in 2007. Even if the Royals were somehow able to put together a surprise winning season the way they did in 2003, it would likely still only be good enough for fourth place in a division whose third place team won 90 games last season. K.C. has lost 100 or more games four of the last five seasons proving that it’s the teams spending big bucks that are making the turnarounds and not the ones trying to build from within. The Vets the Royals have brought in are already washed up.

I apologize if I’m depressing you Royals backers, but the foundation of every good team is a solid starting rotation and Kansas City’s will rival Washington’s for the worst in baseball. Mark Redman was the only Royals pitcher to make it over the 162 inning mark last season which tells us that most of these guys were getting knocked out early. The Royals may have really dug themselves a hole by dealing Redman to the Braves and banking on Gil Meche who they over paid for. It doesn’t matter how good you are, it’s hard to pitch on bad teams. Last place in the Central will be the reality again with a team full of unproven guys.

The Royals are better at the plate in comparison to their pitching (not by much). Good ole Mike Sweeney has been K.C.’s old faitful, old might be the better word now as he can’t stay healthy. The rest of the guys on the squad, other than Alex Gordon, probably aren’t even worth mentioning so I won’t. He has the potential to be their franchise guy. Last season, none of these guys hit more than 20 homeruns or had over 100 RBI’s. Hopefully, one of these unnamed guys can make it over one of these relatively easy plateaus by today’s standards.

If you are a Royals fan, I hope you are a gambler. Last season, the Royals were 62-100, but their backers were +1123. Because the Royals are so bad, they are always undervalued. You will always see great value when backing the Royals and in the long run, this team will be a profitable one again in 2007.

Poker News April 2007

The earlybird supposedly gets the worm and BetUS.com already is angling for wagers on which players will make the main event final table at the 2007 World Series of Poker.

By this time next month, offshore betting sites are expected to be awash with odds-to-win on poker’s most prestigious event, as officials at sponsoring Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., are set to launch this year’s WSOP June 1, with the $10,000 No-Limit Texas Hold’em Championship slated to run July 6-17.

Last year’s WSOP attracted 8,773 attendees, but many observers predict this season’s tournament may draw only one-fourth as many entrants because Harrah’s has severed ties with offshore books that aren’t official co-sponsors.

Las Vegas pro Phil Ivey, often referred to as the Tiger Woods of poker, leads BetUs.com’s final table roster at plus $14.00, with Canadian native Daniel Negreanu the second choice at plus $18.00.

Multi-gold bracelet winner and 1989 champion Phil Hellmuth, 2000 winner Chris “Jesus” Ferguson and Allen Cunningham, fourth place finisher in 2006, are plus $25.00.

“Great Dane” Gus Hansen and 1987-88 winner Johnny Chan check in at plus $30.00 and are followed by a group at plus $40.00 that includes 1998 champ Scotty Nguyen, 1995 winner Dan Harrington, Erik Seidel, Howard Lederer, Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, John Juanda, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari.

Among a group posted at plus $50.00 are former champions Carlos “The Matador” Mortonson and Greg “Fossilman” Raymer.

The highly popular World Poker Tour has yet to produce a female champion and BetUS.com’s opening WSOP list includes just three women: longtime poker pros Annie Duke (plus $65.00) and Jennifer Harman (plus $80.00), along with actress and former Oscar nominee Jennifer Tilley, who won a gold bracelet in the 2005 ladies event.

Jamie Gold, the Hollywood talent agent who dominated last year’s main-event action, is plus $65.00, along with a lengthy list of others that includes former champions Huck Seed and Chris Moneymaker, veteran T.J. Cloutier, WPT TV host and 2006 Tournament of Champions winner Mike Sexton, Josh Arieh, David Williams, Chip Reese and Barry Greenstein.

Joe Hachem, the 2005 champion, and poker legend Doyle Brunson are both plus $80.00.

Movie stars and poker aficianados Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who won Academy Awards for their “Good Will Hunting” screenwriting efforts, opened at plus $150.00.

Longest shots of the more than six dozen listed players are Tim Zalac, Chris Fuller and Grant Robinson at plus $1000.00.

The Rio Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas again will host the event.

Former host Binion’s Horseshoe at one time offered WSOP odds, but Nevada gamers nixed the practice.

The Advantages of 50cc Scooters

50CC scooters are the best if you won’t have a lot of interaction with automobiles as they find hard to maintain their speed above 35mph. Of course you can modify them to go faster.

Depending on the company manufacturer some specifications might vary, but almost all of these scooters are based on the same standards.

Some of the features are for example the fact that the two-stroke is automatic blending with a large 1.3 litre reservoir for the two-stroke oil. The oil tank will only require filling once for every 5 tanks of fuel. A fuel gauge is provided to let you know when to fill up and a warning light indicates if your oil tank needs topping up. The fuel tank holds 7.5 litres.

For trips around 10 to 15 miles 50cc to 100cc scooters will cope fine. Speed capabilities are an issue when considering where you will be riding your scooter. In a mainly urban setting, a 50cc offers everything you need.

The law requires that when using a scooter on public road, riders must wear a helmet.

If you are looking for a fast scooter, this is not your best option. However, if you are looking to get around nicely and in a regular speed you should consider taking a look at these 50CC models.

They are affordable and a good way to drive around without the problems of traffic and parking.

Get a scooter and have some fun while getting to work, to school, to grocery store or wherever it takes you. Just don’t forget to be careful and make sure you know the safety rules of driving a scooter.

Scooters can be dangerous if we don’t drive them with precaution, so let’s have some fun, but being responsible while driving one of these amazing scooters.

2007 Colorado Rockies Preview

The 2006 Rockies became the classic example of how cutting payroll and focusing on building from within can result in developing some of baseball’s best young talent. The Rockies were in contention at the All-Star break with a 44-40 record, but an 8-game losing streak in mid-season made the Rockies play catch up the rest of the season. They finished tied at the bottom of the National League West with the Arizona Diamondbacks by seasons end with a 76-86 record. It was still an improvement by 9 games from the 2005 season which gives the Rockies high hopes for the 2007 season.

Stellar pitching, typically not possible at Coors Field, defined the 2006 season, but it was offset by almost non-existent run production. The Rockies lost 42 games in which the starter left with three or fewer earned runs allowed. Only a small number of those losses were due to errors or bullpen failures. The starting pitching posted a club-record 4.72 ERA, and the .280 batting average against was second-lowest in team history. They were hurt by inconsistency with runners in scoring position (.267 overall but as low as .200 in May), and had the lowest batting average in baseball from the seventh inning on (.225). These numbers will have to improve tremendously if the Rockies are to compete in 2007.

The Rockies finally got production out of their starting pitching in 2006. Jason Jennings led the charge, posting a 3.75 ERA in 212 innings. Colorado stunned its fans by trading frontline starter Jennings to the Astros for three players, righthanded pitchers Jason Hirsh and Taylor Buchholz and centerfielder Willy Taveras. The 2007 rotation will feature lanky lefthander Jeff Francis and sinkerballing righthander Aaron Cook. Both appear on the verge of big things. Newcomer Hirsch, highly regarded in scouting circles, and Korean submariner Byung-Hyun Kim are solid bets to fill other spots in the rotation. Jeff Fuentes is set to be the closer and he has done a solid job indeed. He finished his second straight season with at least 30 saves and lowered his career BAA to just .229. Latroy Hawkins and Jeremy Affeldt could make or break this team in middle relief. Hawkons was stellar at home with a 2.81 ERA in 30 games but yielded a 6.35 ERA in 30 road games as well. Affeldt pitched well in June, July and, August with under a 3.38 ERA each month, but he allowed 16 earned runs in just 14 inning pitched in September.

The Rockies finalized a deal with veteran 36-year-old catcher Javy Lopez. If the former Braves backstop has anything left he could spell promising young Chris Landetta. The corners of the infield are rock-solid with veteran first baseman Todd Helton and third sacker Garrett Atkins. A constant in the Rockies lineup, Helton continues to churn out .300 seasons. Atkins exploded last season, hitting .329 with 29 home runs and 120 RBIs. Kaz Matsui was a great addition for the Rockies in June of last season. Matsui batted .330 (34-103) in 23 starts as a leadoff hitter for the Rockies. Troy Tulowitzki will be starting at shortstop as a rookie. This guy has come up through the system and should have a very promising future.

The outfield sees new centerfielder Willy Taveras bring his speed at the top of the order to the line-up. The spacious Coors field was much in need of a speedy centerfielder to cover a lot of ground. Matt Holliday and Brad Hawpe are established in left and right respectively. Holliday, who had a breakout ‘06 campaign, is a classic middle-of-the-order run producer. He batted .326 with 34 homers and 114 RBIs in 2006. Hawpe feasted on RHP with a .302 AVG and a .528 SLG but did not perform as well against LHP with a .232 AVG and a .435 SLG. He needs to work on left handers this offseason and he could have the potential to be nearly as dangerous as Holliday. This team is once again promising and it’s hard to predict how they will do this season. We will know a lot after the first month, but if the pitching holds up like it did last season, you may see the Rockies in the postseason for the first time in years.

What to Watch for in 2007

If you bet on baseball, you are more than likely a baseball fan. I’m sure there are just some opportunists out there, but this one is for the fans. While we’re cashing in on the MLB season, we should also take some time to admire the milestones and intriguing stories along the way. Here are some things to watch for in 2007.

I have to start with Barry Bonds’ pursuit of Hammerin’ Hanks home run record. Although illegal substance controversies have tarnished Barry’s run, feel privileged that you could witness history this year. Bonds isn’t a media darling by any means, but he is undoubtedly one of the greats. You can argue that many great players were not without their controversies, but with time this all fades and we remember how great the player was. Ty Cobb was a notorious villain, but mostly knows as one of the game’s all-time greats. You may not know that Bonds will pass Cobb for sixth on the all-time list in RBIs with just eight this season, and 66 will get him into the fourth spot past Lou Gehrig.

Besides Bonds’ power pursuit, Houston’s Craig Biggio can join the 3,000 hit club with 70 more base knocks. Bonds is the next closes member to joining the elite 3,000 hit club with 26 current members. Barry is 159 hits away, but he hasn’t had that many hits in a season in nine years. Just to show you how elite of company this is, the next closest is 48-year-old Julio Franco with 2,566. 42-year-old Steve Finley has 2,531, and Omar Vizquel, Ken Griffey Junior, and Gary Sheffield are next on the list. I don’t think any of these guys have a serious shot. Look for Derek Jeter ,who will need 850 more hits, to be the next 3,000 hit guy after Biggio.

What about pitching milestones? Tom Glavine entered the 2007 MLB season just 10 wins shy of 300 wins to join his former Braves teammate Greg Maddux on the elite list. This should be no problem on a loaded New York team. With only 22 current members, this list is even more elite than the 3,000 hit list. The Big Unit, Randy Johnson, goes back to Arizona for a crack at the milestone needing 20 wins entering the season. Next season Randy.

Staying with pitching, as the All-Star break approaches, we’ll start to wonder where The Rocket is going to land. He is the winningest pitcher in the history of the game with 348 wins, but with his half-season vacations, Maddux continues to inch closer with 333 wins. Clemens is nearly four years older than Maddux who has found himself a home in a great pitcher’s park. Could be the little change-up thrower instead of the big Rocket on the top of the list when it’s all said and done. Clemens’ second all-time strikeout total isn’t safe either with Randy Johnson just 60 away. Second is the best any pitcher can do as no one is catching Nolan Ryan who is 1,110 strikeouts in front of Clemens.

Well, that should keep us busy on both sides of the coin this season which will be one you shouldn’t soon forget.

188+ Stage Hero’s Journey (Monomyth) - Period of Rebellion

FORWARD

The 188 stage Hero’s Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

THE 188 STAGE HERO’S JOURNEY:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).

d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain stage of the story, the focus should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.

ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:

(simply go to http://www.screenplay-structure.com/ or http://www.story-structure.org/ for full details)

*****Hero’s Quality*****

The Heralds are attracted to the Hero because he demonstrates a quality. In The Magnificent Seven (1960), the farmers are impressed by Chris and Vin. In Star Wars (1977), music when Luke appears signals that there is a quality about him.

*****Rebellion*****

This stage of the Hero’s Journey is quite common. It is one of the tools used to push the Hero past the Period of Desolation. In In Brokeback Mountain (2005), Jack argues that “…Joe got no right making us do something against the rules….”

*****Secondary characters are functional*****

Secondary characters are functional, that is, they most often exist to fulfil specific story functions, especially help the Hero through his (or her) Transformation.

Once you have figured out what your Hero’s Transformation will be, then you can decide which secondary character Archetypes will be most useful. The subplot evolves from thereon: you give the secondary characters their own challenges to resolve.

*****Seizing the Sword*****

The Sword is a tangible. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), it is Ennis’ and Jack’s reunion. It is also an Expansion of Consciousness and, in Brokeback Mountain (2005), is represented by Alma seeing Ennis kiss Jack.
