Way to Go, Tony!

Congratulations to San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker for winning the Skills Competition at All-Star Saturday Night! He beat Rajon Rondo and Deron Williams in the final, and Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, and John Wall, who didn't advance to the final.

And in case you missed it, here is Tony's final-round winning performance.

C'Mon Man

Was it bothering anyone else that the Monday Night Football announcers for the San Diego/Kansas City game kept pronouncing Ryan Succop's name as "Ryan Suck-Up"??

I mean get with the program everyone.. How do you pronounce the name Philip (or Phillip)?

It's " `Fill - ǝp" That's an upside down 'e' and it's called a "schwa". It denotes a neutral pronunciation sound, which is present in thousands of English words, as a part of the NON-STRESSED syllable of 2-syllable words.

Same thing with syrup.

You don't say "Sear Up"... nor do you say "Phil Up." The accents are on the 1st syllables. `Sear-ǝp AND `Phil-ǝp

`Suck-ǝp

Everyone try it now..


Thank you. /End rant

The Great White Fire At The Station Night Club

I was watching a re-run of VH1's 100 Most Shocking Music Moments the other night. Having first realized that it's been updated since I last saw it, I was also drawn in again because they condensed it down to a lot quicker show - perhaps eliminating some of the time spent covering the events near the bottom of the list.

Anyway Michael Jackson's death was included this time, and I know it's been several years since I saw it for the first time.

Included in the top-10, oddly enough behind the murders of both Tupac Shakur and Notorious BIG, was the tragic fire at The Station Nightclub in West Warwick, RI on February 20, 2003, in which 100 people were killed. The fatalities included headlining band Great White's lead guitarist Ty Longley.

I remember hearing about it, but don't think I ever really researched it even at all. I have ran across a video which is totally worth sharing. It's actually a very amazing video - granted it's a little tough to watch, as you can hear people screaming for their lives, and see people running out of the building on fire - but again it's truly incredible footage:

This video footage of the fire depicts its initial growth and the exit blockage which hindered evacuation. Considered to be the fourth deadliest nightclub fire in American history, killing 100 people, four of whom died after being admitted to local hospitals. The fire was caused when pyrotechnic sparks ignited flammable sound insulation foam in the walls and ceilings around the stage, creating a flash fire that engulfed the club in 5½ minutes. Some 230 people were injured and another 132 escaped uninjured.

We're into double-digits now for sure. They always have this crazy tendency to run along the top 2x4 of the back fence, which is also another house's back fence. We don't exactly live in the country.

Ugly things.. All they do is sit there and stare at you. We found a dead young one about two days ago in the back yard, so I kinda expected more family members to be around.
