Top Nba Teams That Are Going No-where?

Teams that stink right now, and don’t have a huge future either. My list:
1. Houston Rockets – Bye, Yao and McGrady! Hi 1st pick! Aaron Brooks isn’t going to lead this team.
2. Sacramento Kings – Spencer Hawes is not a star, Thompson is not a star, Kevin Martin is not a star, this team is going to be mediocre for a while.
3. Indiana Pacers – they’re going to stay at a fringe playoff team forever! Tyler Hansborough isn’t going to boost this team either.
4. Golden State Warriors – What a waste of talent on this team! At least they have Curry and Randolph.
5. Phoenix Suns – No defense, no wins. Traded away all their defenders. No youth.
6. Milwaukee Bucks – Redd, Bogut injured. Fail.
7. Minnesota T’wolves – Way too young, no veterans. 5-7 years till playoffs, but they’ll be scary by then with years of lottery picks.
8. New Orleans Hornets – No youth, in the lux tax, all they have is Chris Paul and West. They’ll have to rebuild soon.
9. Charlotte Bobcats – No star? No leader? Is DJ Augustin really Chauncey Billups?

Get Going – Get Leverage to Get Fit

Have you ever procrastinated on an office project or put off cleaning your garage? Why do we do this? Why do some people put things off to the last minute? The answer to these questions is also the secret to achieving your health and fitness goals. Knowing the answers will get you the leverage you need and the results you desire.

The answer is found with what I like to call the “Two Ps” or pain and pleasure. Human psychology tells us that we naturally want to avoid pain and are attracted to pleasure. This may seem obvious, but what is not so obvious is the battle between pain and pleasure. The questions I posed demonstrate how we often avoid the pain associated with starting a work project, cleaning the garage or anything that doesn’t offer us enough pleasure to trigger immediate action. The fact is we do not associate enough pleasure with completing these projects and therefore are not overly enthusiastic to get started.

I don’t mean physical pain, but the undesirable feeling we associate with having to do a particular task, change a habit, making a decision or even just thinking about how to do something.

Anything you struggle to motivate yourself to do is most likely due to you associating too much pain with the process. This is the biggest barrier to fitness and fat loss success for many. They associate too much pain with the process of exercising or changing their nutritional habits. They have not created enough pleasurable thoughts about how great they will look or how much energy they will have to play with their kids.

On the other hand, we can also utilize pain to our advantage. For some, an effective strategy is to associate enough pain to not acting and therefore action is the only option. It may be the painful thought of having to wear a swim suit on vacation or not being able to enjoy retirement because of physical limitations. The pain associated with this could be enough for someone to stay committed to an exercise program.

Either strategy can be effective, but in my experience the most effective strategy for health and fitness goals is the avoidance of pain. People usually do more to avoid pain than they ever will to gain pleasure.

What absolutely must not take place is lowering your standards (Oct/Nov. issue of FT Magazine) and saying it is “not that bad”. This is avoiding pain through acceptance and ensuring that you will stay the way you are. I am not saying beat yourself up all the time, but it is appropriate to listen to the pain you have and utilize it to create leverage.

Before you can create leverage, however, you must decide on what you really want. You must create a crystal clear vision for what you will look like, feel like and act like when you achieve your goal. An effective tool can be visualizing what it will be like when you achieve your goal. Drum up the emotions as if you already achieved your goal. And take the time to write a detailed personal vision for what will be the end result and read this once a week. After reading your vision, establish weekly goals that are in alignment with this vision. Each group of weekly goals will be steps towards achieving your ultimate vision. Both of these tools done repeatedly can create a neuro-associative condition that will guide unconscious decisions supportive of your goals. It’s not enough to just say I want to lose 20 pounds.

After you have decided on what you want, you must create enough leverage to get yourself going. Desires without leverage are merely wishes and wants. Wanting is not enough to push you towards consistent action that will turn your vision into reality. You will make changes in your life when you see changes as important and urgent. This “must” feeling is developed using the leverage of avoiding pain.

I mentioned in last months issue how sometimes this leverage finds us. We have a heart attack or receive some life changing news. Let’s not wait until the pain finds us to create leverage. We want to intentionally create our own leverage and be proactive in making positive lifestyle changes.

The question is how do we create intentional pain to gain the leverage we need. The following are examples that, if used repeatedly, can create your leverage:

1. Wear an article of clothing that is one size too small and uncomfortable. Possibly a pair of pants in the closet you used to wear.
2. Compare a picture of the skinny you and a recent picture.
3. Write commitment letters to a few people you respect (see sample)
4. Get a personal trainer or workout buddy to hold you accountable to consistent exercise and health nutrition.

Utilizing these examples may work for you, but the most effective pain triggers are found by asking yourself some tough questions. What is it about my body that I don’t like? How long has my weight been a problem? How do I feel about not being able to buy the clothes I would like? The bottom line is that change will only occur when you see change not only as important, but URGENT! Creating urgency starts by leveraging pain to force action and utilizing the pleasurable thoughts of your vision as the icing on the cake.

Going Rate For A Root Canal In Milwaukee, Wi? / Dentist Recommendation In Milwaukee?

Just wondering if anyone has recently had a root canal done in the Milwaukee are. My benefits just kicked in and I saw a dentist and need to get one done. He quoted me a price of 1054.00 which my insurance will cover half…that’s without a crown which was quoted at another 937.00 which insurance also covers half. Does this sound like a reasonable price? Can anyone recommend a cheaper place that does quality work? I thought I was doing good by putting a lot on my flex plan but this alone will probably drain that plus I need more things done. Thank you in advance.

What Is Gov. Jennifer Granholm Going To Debate Biden About?

Gov Jennifer Granholm (D MI) is going to “play” Palin in a practice debate with Joe Biden. What is she going to debate?
1. How she has single handed run business out of MI.
2. How she turned a 385million dollar surplus into a deficit.
3. How she rode her bike to work to show how to conserve gas, now that people are and tax revenues are down she wants to raise the state sales tax to 7percent. (I guess instead of tax on one thing taxing EVERYTHING is better).
4. How she sold Toyota a old prison property to build a tech center for 200million and “brought 400 jobs to MI”, gave Toyota huge tax breaks to move here and forced the city and county to put the infrastructure in place for Toyota. The 400 jobs were already in place within Toyota they just needed a place to work, so no new jobs in a bleeding state. Even though a developer offered 685 million for the same parcel, would have put retail, office, and housing on this property, bringing Jobs (retail), economic growth, and tax revenue. Did I mention the extra 485million that the state would have gotten just from the sale? I guess 200million and 400 jobs looked good for the election ads.
5. How she refused to drop the single business tax allowing small business the chance to grow and hire more out of work Michigan citizens.
6. How she sat on her hands while the Mayor of Detroit mad the city look stupid once again, and cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars to prosecute him, and millions of dollars in investments for the city, just to take a deal and leave anyway to avoid a lengthy jail sentence.
6. Will Biden show how much more qualified a woman would be than him as VP? If you did not catch his quote about Hillary being more qualified pick than him look it up.
7. Or lastly how the top ten most impoverished cities in the US have and have had democratic leadership
Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since 1961;
Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954;
Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… since 1984;
Cleveland, OH (4th)… since 1989;
Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
St. Louis, MO (6th)…. since 1949;
El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;
Milwaukee, WI (8th)… since 1908;
Philadelphia, PA (9th)… since 1952;
Newark, NJ(10th)… since 1907.
What do you think?
And please think slurs and rhetoric are boring.
Thank you
