Glamorous Fashions and Music
Where I’d been born the idea of glam rock and dressing up in feminine fashions was not too well accepted in the 70s it is different now with glam rock musicians and singers for example Lady Gaga but back in the day before glam clothing were seen one the street it was tough. Northern great Britain is home to numerous thug mentalities and even during the 70s there has been gangs where lack of employment and drug use festered a violent environment that would only get worse in 2010. With regard to some sort of relative into glam rock styles men of woman’s is actually was a dangerous enterprise jogging about in high heel shoes and glitter cosmetics. The fact remains a person must be braver than the gangs to walk with regards to such as your glam rock star because you were just asking for a violent conflict in the ambiance of sexual suppression and ignorant attitudes during the time.
I first observed glam rock and roll celebrities similar to David Bowie and T Rex such as the particular songs like Rebel Rebel, John I am only dancing, that we wore out twice on my parents’ record-player. My personal class at high school, when it comes to pop sensibility was separated as follows: the boys were being supporters of either Roxy Music The Sweet, and the girls all adored Marc Bolan and glam rock. The latter ended up being dismissed because of the guys as ‘a poof’ despite the fact that Steve Priest, bass-player of The Sweet appeared to be clearly as glam rock & camp as anyone in this area. But this individual became a complete a celebrity. Therefore We listened to my T Rex information in private, certainly not letting on to any kind of my class-mates pertaining to my new obsession glam rock, fearing that I in turn would be instantly labeled as ‘a poof’. My own up coming important breakthrough was glam rock and roll and Roxy Music’s first album. The inside sleeve functions glam style photos regarding the actual music group appearing like Science Fiction movie-stars, also it ended up being this which first provoked the thought in me: ‘I wish to appear to be a glam rock star.
My personal glam rock and roll lifetime started out as I began to badger my own mummy for several attire: I needed platform shoes, I needed flares, shirts with wild, disco collars and, above all, long hair. This required quite a while to be able to acquire my “glam rock star look’ collectively nevertheless last but not least, at about the particular age I was. I was able to look in the mirror with some amount of satisfaction. I rapidly realized that, throughout a new area for instance Birmingham, outfitting in this glam rock and roll trend approach would be asking for abuse and it soon came along. It has been mainly spoken combined with becoming jostled or even shoulder-barged on the street. i had been quickly to learn the danger’s associated with dressing up as being a glam rock and roll movie star in the 70s.
The initial act of individual attack upon me personally failed to take place very long afterward. I traveled the length from some sort of shuttle bus cease in route home coming from a glam rock and roll concert by a new band in town. We was becoming screamed with by regarding thirty youngsters coming from across the street, shortly these people arrived asking for after me wanting blood. I ended up being captured and tried to reason saying it was just a vogue thing along with many the girls dug it. Unfortunately this made them even more angry as I suppose these were not so popular with the opposite sex as at the time glam rock guys were getting all the dates and best looking women.
I made it out alive with a few torn clothes and a missing platform boot. A little investment on reflection as if it were today I am sure there would have been a much more violent response. I did get a black eye and a few bruises but what really hurt is the wounded pride and loss of personal freedom to express yourself after such an encounter. I still wore glam rock fashions but was cautious where to go and be seen in such outfits. it all seemed so simple for the glam rock stats on my TV, they lived their lives (it seemed) dressing up every day in glam rock clothes and never having a care in the world. In truth I was too young to know about marketing, hype and that they were just kids themselves many manipulates to look a certain way just to make money as a glam rock star.

Atlanta Hawks Obtain Kirk Hinrich From Wizards
In a deal that was definitely overshadowed by the monumental transactions involving Carmelo Anthony and Deron Williams, the Atlanta Hawks shook up their struggling backcourt by acquiring Kirk Hinrich from the Washington Wizards. The Hawks also received forward Hilton Armstrong in exchange for guards Mike Bibby and Jordan Crawford, forward Maurice Evans and a first round pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Atlanta is hoping to shake up a lineup that started the season strong but slumped heading into the All Star Break.
Atlanta General Manager Rick Sund explained the rationale behind the deal:
“We felt we had a good occasion to get better our ballclub by adding Kirk and Hilton. Kirk is a well-rounded player that gives us options at both guard positions. In addition to being a firm and hard-nosed protector, he is a good shooter who can also distribute the ball. His resume includes significant playoff skill as well. Hilton can play both center and power forward, and will put in frontcourt depth.”
What Sund didn’t say is that the sensation in the Hawks’ front office and around the NBA is that Mike Bibby had lost a bit of his ‘edge’ on defense and that the acquisition of Hinrich was principally made in hopes that he’ll improve the team in that phase of the game.
Both teams, however, are sorry to lose well liked teammates. Atlanta’s Josh Smith had this to say about the deal:
“Those guys are like brothers to me. At the same time, we know this is commerce. These things happen. The guys at the summon felt like a change needed to be made.”
The Wizards’ sensational rookie John Wall had comparable emotions about his now former teammates:
“It was a pretty tough thing to hear. Kirk’s a veteran guy who taught me a poor lot about NBA basketball. I’ll really miss him. And Hilton was a good friend, too. I wish them both well.”
Washington team president Ernie Grunfield gave the spin from his vision of the deal:
“We were able to acquire a proven, clutch leader in Mike, a hard-nosed veteran in Maurice, and an intriguing prospect in Jordan, as well as a first-round draft choice to add to our own first-round pick this summer. This trade continues our plan to build with draft picks and prospects, develop our young players and stay financially flexible.”
Atlanta is starting to lose sight of Miami and Orlando in the Southeast Division and hopes that the trade commences paying dividends fast. The Hawks have now lost five of their last six games both straight up and confront the NBA betting line, most justly dropping a 105-97 verdict on the road to the Phoenix Suns.

Wayne Rooney Scores Twice In Man U Victory Over AC Milan
Manchester United is in good shape to advance to the Champions League soccer quarterfinals following a 3-2 win over AC Milan at the San Siro. The competition itself was overshadowed by the fact that it was the first time that David Beckham had played against his old team since leaving Old Trafford in 2003, and Wayne Rooney squashed Milan’s early hopes with two goals to put the game on ice. Clarance Seedorf scored at the 85 minute mark to make the score respectable, but Man U controlled play after the halftime break. Now barring a complete collapse on their home field, Manchester United is well placed to advance.
AC Milan got on the board first just three minutes into the game as Beckham set up Ronaldinho’s goal that sent the San Siro into a frenzy. Paul Scholes evened the score at the 36 minute mark and the teams went into the halftime break tied at 1-1. Rooney would net his first goal at the 66 minute mark and would score again just 8 minutes later to give Man U a 3-1 lead.
The 24 year old Rooney is becoming recognized as one of the best strikers in soccer. He’s now got 25 goals on the year with 19 games left to play. He’s also received high marks from the soccer press for his playmaking, heady play and overall attitude. The consensus is that he’s already one of the best in the world and is only getting better.
After the game, Beckham graciously complimented Rooney on his play and suggested that he receive consideration for the World Player of the Year award:
“I hope he is a contender for the World Player of the Year and the Ballon D’Or. I would love to see him win every title possible. I have seen Wayne from being a young lad. I played in his debut for England and I have watched him score goals week in and week out ever since. It is amazing to see.”
“He looks after himself and works hard. The way he plays is the way he trains. That is why he is so good and why Wayne is ready for any game. It doesn’t matter how many games he has played or how many he will be involved in to the end of the season, he will be ready for anything.”
There’s a good chance that Beckham and Rooney will be teammates on England’s World Cup team this summer. Beckham made note of that fact:
“I wouldn’t want to see him do it again against us in a few weeks but of course I’d like it in the World Cup.”
Rooney’s sizzling play and Beckham’s veteran leadership and dominant free kicks are a big reason why England is among the World Cup betting favorites before the team has even been made official. England will start World Cup play on June 12 against the United States. England is a +600 choice to win the World Cup, third favorite behind Spain and Brazil.

Hall Of Famer Coleman Pink Slipped By UFC
Not too long ago, Mark Coleman headlined UFC 109 facing Randy Couture. Several days later, he’s apparently no longer good enough to remain in the UFC at all. On Wednesday, following a lopsided loss to Couture the UFC released Coleman from his contract and cut the veteran heavyweight. Coleman is now free to sign with any other promotion, but at 46 years of age his most likely-and most advisable-course of action is retirement. Fighters seldom do the ‘most advisable’ thing, however, and his actual plans are unknown at the moment.
Coleman became the first UFC fighter to be cut immediately after headlining a PPV event. Others have left due to drug test failures or for other opportunities, but none have ever been cut from their contract. Sources close to the UFC suggest that it was a decision no one wanted to make, but that all felt was unavoidable due to Coleman’s age and deteriorating skills. On the other hand, its interesting that the UFC sees fit to keep any number of other aging fighters with deteriorating skills on the payroll but not a Hall of Famer in Coleman.
While the fact that Coleman is a shell of the fighter he was at his prime, the UFC’s suggestion that they have his best interest at heart is somewhat duplicitous. He was kept around and booked into last Saturday’s fight–a fight that no one particularly had any interest in seeing in the first place–simply because he was a fighter that Randy Couture could beat. Were the UFC interested in the well being of their aging fighters there’s several others on the roster that should also be cut for the same justification as Coleman. Couture, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell are all well past their prime but they’re still under contract and will all likely fight again. No one really wants to see these relics fight, but the UFC has long had a policy that what their fan base wants to see is of minimal importance.
Coleman’s age has never been a secret and his diminished skill level was evident to anyone who has watched his recent fights. If the UFC was really interested in his physical well being, the main event against Couture should have never taken place. The fight itself wasn’t exactly one that UFC fans had been clamoring for and one that met with derision from the MMA media from the time it was announced. The fact that the PPV buyrate for the event will end up as one of the lowest in recent history pretty much sums up the story.
While retirement would be in Coleman’s best interest, he may attempt to fight in a smaller US promotion or in Japan where he’s well known from his time in PRIDE. He’s already a member of the UFC Hall of Fame with a 26-10 career record and has fought the best in the world including Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Mirko Cro Cop.

Argonauts Drop Ninth Straight Home Game, Lose To Lions
Its been a rough stretch of CFL football for the Toronto Argonauts, and they may have hit rock bottom on Friday night. The Argos appeared to be on the verge of breaking their eight game home losing streak, entering the fourth quarter with a 25-14 lead but ended up on the wrong end of a 36-28 final score that ran their streak of futility at the Rogers Centre to nine games. It was also Toronto’s ninth consecutive loss to BC. BC improved to 3-4 with the victory, while Toronto’s record slipped to 2-5.
Lions head coach Wally Buono made no excuses for his teams bad first half followed by a solid second half:
“I’m not going to apologize for playing well in the second half. If we play any kind of football in the first half maybe we don’t have to do this. That’s football. Nobody asks you at the end of the day whether you stole a win, they ask you how many games did you win? The game is 60 minutes.”
Lions QB Jarious Jackson echoed his coachs sentiments:
“I don’t feel like we stole one at all. I feel like we went out and played like we should’ve played in the second half. Most of the first half we were trying to manage the game, trying to see what they were doing defensively. Offensively, you definitely want to manage the game until you know what the defence is going to call in some situations. It took us the first half but I think in the second half we kind of were able to predict what they were going to do and I think we did a good job of countering it.”
Despite the loss, Toronto was generally pleased with the play of their replacement starting QB Cody Pickett. Pickett was named the starter after a dismal performance by Kerry Joseph the previous week against Montreal. After the game, Pickett was less concerned about his performance than his teams struggles:
“It’s 20/20 that we needed to score another touchdown. Whatever we’re doing right now isn’t getting the job done.”
Argos head coach Bart Andrus was pleased with Picketts play in the losing cause:
“That was an ideal performance. Cody threw it well, was accurate and didn’t turn it over. The bottom line is we didn’t finish that one. When we do get it right for 60 minutes, it’s going to be a great thing.”
BC will welcome the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to Vancouver next Friday night. Toronto has a bye week, with the Calgary Stampeders providing the opposition on August 28th.

Packers Hit Turnover Plagued Steelers In Super Bowl Xlv
Aaron Rodgers passed for three touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers took benefit of three Pittsburgh Steelers’ turnovers to win Super Bowl XLV 31-25. Rodgers for 304 yards without an interception and was nominated the game MVP, important vindication for a quarterback that spent three years as backup to former Packers’ starter Brett Favre. Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger answered with two touchdown passes and 263 yards passing, though threw two costly interceptions that had his team playing from following from early in the contest.
NFL betting enthusiasts who backed the Green Bay Packers as -2′ point prefers were rewarded by the Super Bowl victory. The cover improved the Packers ATS record on the period to 13-7, while the Steelers closed with a 12-7 record against the point spread. The 56 combined points went OVER the posted total of 46. Despite their character as a high scoring team, the Packers went UNDER in 12 of their 20 games this season.
Rodgers’ teammates were quick to praise their quarterback after the contest counting veteran wide receiver Donald Driver:
“You can stop it now. Aaron’s proved that he’s one of the best, if not the greatest, quarterback in this game today.”
Receiver Greg Jennings supposed that the Packers had overcome danger of all season to win the championship:
“We’ve been a team that’s overcome adversity all year. Our head captain goes down, emotional in the locker room. Our No. 1 receiver goes down, more emotions are going, flying in the locker room. But we find a way to bottle it up and exert it all out here on the field.”
Head coach Mike McCarthy made his own particular contribution to the victory with an unprecedented motivational ploy-he had his team fitted for their Super Bowl rings the night before the game. Packers’ Charles Woodson said it made a shock:
“That was just a vote of confidence for us. Get fitted for your ring. I don’t know when we’ll get them, but it’ll fit.”
Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took the loss hard:
“I feel like I let the city of Pittsburgh down, the enthusiast, my coaches and my teammates and it’s not a good sensation.”
Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews summed up the victory and the period:
“You play to be the best, the world champions and that’s what we are today.”
Assuming that a work argument doesn’t delay or abandon the 2011 NFL season, the Packers will be looking to be first team to defend their Super Bowl title since the New England Patriots won the 2004 and 2005 games.

Kobe Bryant a ‘Game Time Decision’ For Monday Night
The Los Angeles Lakers dodged a bullet on Saturday night when an ankle injury suffered by Kobe Bryant turned out to be less cruel than originally probable. Still, the team is taking no possibility. Team officials are calling the injury a ‘sprain’ and while it’s not considered serious he may not be immediately available. On Sunday, Lakers’ coach Phil Jackson said that Kobe would be a ‘game time decision’ for Monday night’s game against the Orlando Magic.
Kobe said that the injury was the scariest of his career:
“I believed I was done, like done. I was just imploring that when I stood up my foot was lined up straight. … That scared the s— out of me. I thought I dislocated it.”
“We were all pretty afraid … to be sincere with you because it looked horrible and it felt worse.”
Kobe didn’t earn the nickname ‘The Black Mamba’ for being a lightweight, and after a quick journey to the locker room returned to the bench in the fourth quarter where he informed Jackson he could go back in:
“I asked him if he wanted to play. But he was there, and he said ‘Yeah, I’m here to play.’ He got back out there and assisted us win it, but he was moving less than 100 percent.”
Kobe originally injured his ankle several days previous in Atlanta and re-aggravated it on Saturday. Jackson said that a few games off might not be the most horrible thing for Kobe or the team at this point:
“The big thing about Kobe last year is he played through a lot of damage and then sat out for six games, and I thought it helped him out overall.”
Explaining Kobe’s position for Monday’s game, Jackson continued:
“He’ll be a game-time result. We expect he’ll be able to play.”
Finally, Jackson admitted, if Kobe’s healthy enough to play he’s going to play:
“It would be fabulous to have him have additional days off to get better, but if he’s capable of playing, he’ll play.”
The Lakers do catch a scheduling break after Monday’s game against the Magic. They have four days off until their next game, and that’s against the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves. They then have another two days until their next ‘competitive’ game versus the Portland Trailblazers who are a potential first round playoff matchup. Due to the ambiguity of Kobe’s availability the Lakers/Magic game is now ‘off the board’ for NBA betting.

Smith, Rice Receive NFL Hall Of Fame Call
Widely considered to be the best running back and wide receiver to ever play in the league, Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice were inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame on Saturday night in Canton, Ohio. Smith and Rice headlined a group of seven inductees that also included John Randle, Dick LeBeau, Rickey Jackson, Russ Grimm and Floyd Little.
Former Dallas Cowboy great Emmitt Smith entered the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. During his career he rushed for 18,355 yards with 164 touchdowns and had 11 seasons with 1,000 or more yards on the ground. He won three Superbowl championships during his career and was named the game’s MVP in 1994. Smith gave these comments in his induction speech:
“Most people only dream. I not only had my childhood dream, I did everything I could to fulfill it. “You know what, I am now the all-time leading rusher. Wow. What an honor.”
“When I go into the hall today, I am not going in alone. I am carrying my grandfather, I’m carrying my father and I’m carrying my son along with me because I bear all their names. Now I can say to my dad and my son, EJ, our name will be forever enshrined in the history of football.”
Jerry Rice, who played most of his career with the San Francisco 49ers, is the owner of every significant receiving record. During his 20 year career he caught 1,549 passes. He gained 22,895 yards, which is 7,600 yards ahead of second place. He scored 208 touchdowns, another all time best for a wide receiver. He also made receptions in an almost-unimaginable 274 consecutive games, a mark that may never be broken. Rice was known as one of the hardest workers in sports, but ironically he said in his induction speech that was his only regret:
“My single regret about my career is I never took the time to enjoy it. I was always working.”
“I was afraid to fail. The fear of failure is the engine that has driven me my entire life. The reason they never caught me from behind is because I ran scared. People always are surprised how insecure I was. The doubts, the struggles, is who I am. I wonder if I would have been as successful without them.”
Rice moved from the low profile of Mississippi Valley State College to win three Super Bowls and redefine the role of the wide receiver in the modern game. He won three Superbowls with the San Francisco 49ers.

Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn is off of the hot seat-at least temporarily. After a recent swoon that saw him stripped of play calling duties for the NFL team, Zorn got a vote of confidence from upper management on Friday. His head isn’t entirely out of the noose, however, as the reprieve will last only to the end of the season unless some marked improvement is seen in the second half. The Redskins’ defense has played well this year but their offense has been marked by a profound lack of productivity.
Executive Vice President of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato had the following statement:
“Jim Zorn is the head coach of the Washington Redskins and will be for the rest of this season, and hopefully into the future.”
“The frustration is very high, everywhere around here. But the relationships internally within this organization, quite frankly, remain the same.”
For his part, Zorn was nonplussed by the vote of ‘semi-confidence’:
“I don’t necessarily have a reaction to that because I am the head coach. I want to be here for the next 10 years. That’s my story.”
While he didn’t express much personal relief from the management statement, he said he hoped it would benefit his players:
“If it comforts the players – awesome! But I think our players are focused regardless of what the situation is. Whatever has to be said, I guess it has to be said, but we go on.”
Quarterback Jason Campbell sounded relieved that the drama was over for the time being:
“That should relieve a lot of tension and a lot of stress. Guys don’t have to worry about thinking about it or talking about it. We were the soap opera for the NFL the last two weeks so hopefully it’ll calm down a little bit.”
Ceratto also had a different take on the removal of Zorn’s play calling duties:
“Look at all the things that we’ve done to try to help. You could have done other things drastically. No, you have confidence in him, because you want him to do well. Hopefully we can just concentrate and focus on winning football games.
He also expressed confidence in offensive consultant-and new offensive playcaller-Sherm Lewis’ ability to do the job:
“You don’t forget how to ride a bike if you hadn’t rode your bike in four years.”
The Redskins have slumped to a 2-4 record in the early part of the NFL season despite being the first team in league history to play six straight games against winless teams. The Redskins two wins came against the St. Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers who have a combined 0-12 record. Washington will host the Philadelphia Eagles this Monday night before a bye week. After the bye, they’ll return to action on the road against the Atlanta Falcons on November 8.

Pimlico Colleagues With Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
Pimlico Race Course is the host track for the Preakness Stakes and Black Eyed Susan and they’ve announced a partnership with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The Komen Foundation is the world’s largest breast cancer organization and a perfect tie in for the Friday card highlighting the big race for fillies. This will be the second year that Pimlico has partnered with the Maryland branch of the charity on Black Eyed Susan day, raising money for breast cancer research and raising awareness among horse racing enthusiasts.
Churchill Downs has utilized the Friday card finishing with the Kentucky Oaks race for fillies to promote comparables charities, the $250,000 Black Eyed Susan (G2) has a similar position on Preakness weekend. The money raised through the partnership will go to the Maryland Komen Foundation for the public awareness within the state and the remaining 25% will be earmarked for research plans.
In addition to the running of the Black Eyed-Susan, there will be several special events during the card highlighting the involvement of women jockeys in Maryland horse racing. There will be an ‘all star’ race of retired female riders in the “Lady Legends For the Cure Race II” as well as a jockey challenge with six of the top current female riders. The Black-Eyed Susan will be broadcast live on the Versus Network in the United States.
Maryland Jockey Club President Tom Cuckas released this enthusiastic statement announcing the partnership:
“We are satisfied to partner with the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure for the second straight year to fight breast cancer. The initial People’s Pink Party raised $100,000 for Komen last year and featured the significant Lady Legends Race, one of the highlights of Preakness weekend 2010. The eight retired riders created a buzz around the track, generating attention and excitement that optimized fans. Switching the jockey challenge to an all-female format will add spark to the Preakness Eve event. We look forward to another dynamic and worthwhile Black-Eyed Susan Day and thank everyone for their support of an organization really making a difference in the lives of those shocked by breast cancer.”
The ‘All Star’ race of retired female jockeys-the ‘Lady Legends For the Cure Race II’-will include the eight members in last year’s event — winner Gwen Jocson, Andrea Seefeldt-Knight, Mary Russ-Tortora, Mary Wiley-Wagner, Patti “PJ” Cooksey, Barbara Jo Rubin, Jennifer Rowland-Small and Cheryl White – in addition to Abby Fuller who was aboard Mom’s Command for several graded stakes wins. The competition will include $20,000 in bonus prizes. In addition to her earnings in the race, the winner will receive another $6,000. Prizes of $4,000 down to $1,000 will be awarded to the remaining participants based on order of finish. Pimlico will match the amount wagered on the winner and make a donation to the Komen Foundation.
The Jockey Challenge will include four races on the Black Eyed Susan undercard with positions awarded based upon their finish. The jockey with the most points at the end of the competition will be crowned champion. The six riders that concurred to take part are Vicky Baze, Forest Boyce, Rosie Napravnik, Chantal Sutherland, Hayley Turner and Emma-Jayne Wilson.

Colonial Athletic Conference entrant Virginia Commonwealth didn’t get any respect from the NCAA selection committee heading into this year’s tournament, being subjected to a ‘play in’ game against USC. They should have plenty of respect all around after demolishing Georgetown University out of the powerful Big East Conference. The Rams led 35-24 at halftime before cruising to a 74-56 win that was Georgetown’s worst defeat in the NCAA tournament since 1996.
College Basketball betting enthusiasts who took Virginia Commonwealth as a +5′ point underdog had few, if any, worried moments with the Rams’ lopsided outright victory. With a triumph in the ‘play in’ game VCU has won two NCAA tournament games for the first time in the history of the program. The 130 combined points scored went UNDER the posted total of 136. The Rams will currently face third seeded Purdue on Sunday.
Rams’ guard Joey Rodriguez, who had 17 points and 7 assists, said that the lack of admiration afforded the team served as inspiration:
“Anytime people disrespect you, particularly on national TV, it kind of hurts you. We had an chance to come out here and prove people wrong and lucky we can keep it going.”
Brandon Rozzell led VCU with 26 points and believed that when his team plays ‘their’ game they can play with anybody:
“When we play our brand of basketball, we feel we can compete with any team in the country. With all due respect to Georgetown, we just played VCU basketball and it worked out for the best tonight.”
Rozzell also thank head coach Shaka Smart for his confidence in the team:
“Trainer gives us a lot of freedom, doesn’t let us look over our shoulders. When you’ve got a guy like that, it’s great to come out and perform every time.”
Georgetown head coach John Thompson III was left wondering just the opposite-why his team didn’t come out and perform. One reason was the bad outside shooting of Chris Wright, Austin Freeman and Jason Clark:
“We’re not going to win too many games when all three of those guys have nights liked that. Unluckily, it happened tonight.”
Thompson dismissed any further discussion of what went wrong:
“A lot will be discussed about this group and what they have and haven’t done in the postseason. Right now, my thoughts are with four seniors who, for the last time, were able to wear a Georgetown jersey. And that hurts.”
VCU will now test to keep their surprise NCAA run alive by earning a Sweet 16 bid versus Purdue. The Rams are +9′ point underdogs to the Boilermakers.

Steps You Need To Consider When Buying Records Online
Shopping for vinyl records online is a very exciting process. Now with the elevated rise in popularity of the net and the sinking presence of physical record shops, obtaining vinyl albums on the web is rapidly becoming the norm for album enthusiasts seeking a top song to complete his / her album collection.
No matter if you are searching for that monster rare soul tune or that hard-to-find psych record, getting vinyl records to buy over the internet is often pleasurable and disappointing while in the very same time. Prior to seeking out your next vinyl record for your personal record collection there are several details you should know about when acquiring vinyl albums on-line.
When choosing vinyl records online from a website the first thing you want to locate is the vendor’s grading standards. If the seller doesn’t have a definitive rule about how they grade the albums they offer, I suggest you steer clear from this specific dealer. When shopping for vinyl records via eBay be mindful that many eBay sellers grade records drastically differently. If the owner hasn’t obtained a good deal of good feedback via previous buyers be particularly careful. Buying vinyl records right from an eBay dealer with virtually no feedback and without a crystal clear grading scale can be extremely risky.
In spite of the risk, often times purchasing from a seller that does not have a clear grading scale may turn out to become quite pleasing. You could end up getting a bargain on that obscure funk record from that dealer with little to low feed back for a good price, simply because no one else wanted to take the risk of buying from him or her. Having said that, just remember buying records this way can be quite risky and the end result may not be satisfactory.
Purchasing vinyl from a stand alone web site might be even more dangerous than buying from a dealer via eBay with low feedback, mainly because you don’t have any feedback method obtainable. Generally there isn’t information from any previous patrons, positive or negative.
Furthermore, find out if you could make payment for your product by using Pay Pal. Pay Pal carries a well established reputation with protecting their users from harm. Also, be sure that the dealer provides a crystal clear way for you to be reached. If the vendor is inaccessible for any queries, or takes too much time to reply to the questions you have, you most likely should never order any vinyl from their website.
One more useful tip when purchasing vinyl records on the internet is taking a look at the vendor’s return guidelines. Most professional vinyl dealers don’t have a problems with returned items. Most sellers offer his or her’ s clients with a set amount of days to make a final decision about their vinyl orders.
The last and possibly the most frequently disregarded practice for choosing vinyl records on the web is inquiring owner how they propose to mail your vinyl records to you. You would be absolutely surprised about what a handful of record dealers mail her or his records in. What person really wants undergo the hassle of getting a cracked record because the item was delivered in bubble shippers? Poorly shipped records is a reality. It’s a reality that can be easily avoided simply by asking the dealer about what he ships his vinyl in.
