My April 2013 Where's George Summary

In April, I entered 601 bills and received 155 hits (119 of which were the initial hit on the bill). I ended the month with a hit rate of 16.47% [+0.08% compared to end of March] and a slugging percentage of 19.38% [+0.16%]. While I'm pleased that April finished as my second highest hit month ever, it's a bit disappointing that it didn't get the top spot. After 26 days, I was averaging 5½ hits a day putting me on track for 165. But I finished the month by getting three, two, four, and three hits on the final four days respectively and thus ended 5 hits short. Would be interesting to see if April would have surpassed if it had 31 days.

Not a lot of movement in my top blocks. DA and LA swapped spots on the 2009 entry chart. On the hit chart, the 2009 LB tied 2006 LN and 2009 LG passed 2006 LJ. I expect the trend of 2009 blocks surpassing the 2006 will continue.

No changes in the top ten for any of my top ten States, counties, or cities. Hawaii and Florida failed to get hits in April otherwise everything got at least one hit.

Only Series 2009 $1 Bingo saw any progress in April. I entered bills from four new blocks (although I wonder if I didn't screw up on that FN entry) and got hits in two new blocks.

My Where's George Week in Review: 04/21/13 - 04/27/13

Hover over this explanation for more detailsThe nerd that I am, I chose to post once a week a summary of my previous week's Where's George activity in comparision to my goals for the year.

In order to make the charts fit, I had to abreviate the column headers. Each header is hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I got 36 hits in 6 States [AZ, CA³⁰, NE, OH, PA, WA²]. Of those hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 7 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (28) were the initial hit on the bill. Below is a calendar view of the hits throughout the week:

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
21	22	23	24	25	26	27
6	4	7	4	6	6	3

I came into the week with a 72 day hit streak. I got a hit on every day of this week which extended the streak to 79 days: good for a tie for my 3^rd longest streak all-time. Here's a look at my all-time ten longest hit streaks:

Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days		Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days
1.	10/07/2012	01/02/2013	88		6.	09/26/2011	11/18/2011	54
2.	12/28/2011	03/17/2012	81		7.	06/24/2012	08/16/2012	54
3.	04/13/2011	06/30/2011	79		8.	04/04/2012	05/21/2012	48
4.	02/08/2013	04/27/2013	79		9.	01/04/2013	02/06/2013	34
5.	07/28/2011	09/23/2011	58		10.	07/21/2010	08/21/2010	32

Of the 6 States in which I received hits this past week, none were the first hit for that State in 2013. Overall I've received hits in 32 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

0       51

Previous Still Needed for Goal Beyond Goal

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 3 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 513. The newly hit counties were Seward NE, Muskingum OH, Walla Walla WA. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

483       581

Previous New Still Needed for Goal

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 4 Years 43 Days 21 Hours 25 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 6^th on my all-time longest active list. My top ten longest active bills list is now:

Rank	Bill Info			Time Active	Last Update	Hits
1.	$10	2003	DL947---91A	4 Years 238 Days 13 Hours 41 Minutes	03/08/2013	2
2.	$1	2003A	L4532---3K	4 Years 200 Days 22 Minutes	10/12/2012	1

8.	$1	2006	L5563---1A	4 Years 13 Days 12 Hours 43 Minutes	04/06/2013	1
9.	$1	2006	I8453---4A	4 Years 12 Days 21 Hours 41 Minutes	02/15/2013	1

I made predictions regarding bill entries and hits and new bills with hits for 2013. Here's a look at how I'm doing towards those predictions:

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 6408 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 111.4 bills per week for the rest of the year.

Looking at my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 87.64% so the goal is 88.64%), my percentage is now 88.09% [+0.45%].

At this point in the year, if I've entered 32 bills for a particular FRB than I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB.

I found a new wild this past week. It traveled 129 Days 9 Hours 5 Minutes to me from Campbell, CA. Here's a look at that bill:

Another good week stat-wise. April is in range to potentially be my best hit month ever: it's already guaranteed to be second.

My UFC 159 Fight Picks

In the past three UFC events, there have only been two upsets. Last week, the couple upsets worked out in my favor and I gained a few points on the league leader. This week I'm not seeing any compelling underdogs, and I've actually picked all the favorites. Seems cheap, but there's a lot of one-sided affairs in this event.

Featherweight Match [UFC159-12]
N/A
Match Points: 5.02
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
FW #46	Steven Siler (21-10)	-131	3.83	8.85
LW #194	Kurt Holobaugh (9-1)	+107	5.37	10.39

Siler and Holobaugh are both coming off of losses, but Siler had 3 wins in the UFC prior to that loss. I think experience will win out here, so I'm going with the "Super" one.

Welterweight Match [UFC159-11]
N/A
Match Points: 5.34
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
WW #31	James Head (9-3)	-160	3.34	8.68
WW #341	Nick Catone (9-4)	+134	7.16	12.50

Catone missed 170 by a good three pounds at weigh ins, and I'm guessing he's going to be suffering from a tough weight cut. Not a good way to start off his drop to welterweight. I'll go with Head who should be in better shape.

Featherweight Match [UFC159-10]
N/A
Match Points: 3.10
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
FW #155	Leonard Garcia (15-10-1)	-174	1.78	4.88
FW #166	Cody McKenzie (13-3)	+149	4.62	7.72

I so do not want to be picking Garcia here, but McKenzie hasn't been that good since winning The Ultimate Fighter. Garcia's wild style wins him points with the judges, and I think there's a good chance that Cody will be overwhelmed by the onslaught.

Bantamweight Match [UFC159-09]
FX
Match Points: 12.18
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
BW #21	Bryan Caraway (17-6)	+117	14.25	26.43
BW #29	Johnny Bedford (19-9-1)	-141	8.64	20.82

Caraway is a late replacement in this fight and is coming off of a hard fought split decision loss last month. I have a hard time believe he's ready for this fight. Bedford's main weakness is to submissions (Caraway's speciality). Regardless, I think the readiness factor will put this in Bedford's favor.

Bantamweight Match [UFC159-08]
FX
Match Points: 14.46
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
W135 #5	Sara McMann (6-0)	-702	2.06	16.52
W125 #5	Sheila Gaff (10-4-1)	+477	68.97	83.43

The third woman's UFC bout ever. McMann is a former Olympian, and the UFC surely wants to eventually have an Olympian vs Olympian match between her and Rousey (even better if both are still undefeated). Gaff was fighting at flyweight prior to signing with the UFC and will be the smaller fighter in this match. I'll go with the undefeated favorite.

Light Heavyweight Match [UFC159-07]
FX
Match Points: 9.99
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
LHW #44	Ovince St. Preux (12-5)	-201	4.97	14.96
LHW #59	Gian Villante (10-3)	+166	16.58	26.57

A battle between two Strikeforce imports. St. Preux had a strong run in the Strikeforce light heavyweight division and is looking to make his mark in the UFC. Villante is on a three fight win streak but has definitely not taken on as strong of competition. I'll take the favorite.

Lightweight Match [UFC159-06]
FX
Match Points: 5.87
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
LW #127	Rustam Khabilov (15-1)	-308	1.91	7.78
NR	Yancy Medeiros (9-0)	+246	14.44	20.31

I'm not familiar with either of the two which is surprising as this is the FX "main event". The favorite has UFC experience whlie the underdog doesn't, and that's the deciding factor for me.

Lightweight Match [UFC159-05]
PPV / Main Card
Match Points: 18.47
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
LW #12	Jim Miller (22-4)	-323	5.72	24.19
LW #14	Pat Healy (29-16)	+255	47.10	65.57

Healy was approaching the top of the heap in Strikeforce when it was merged into the UFC. Miller's been near the top of the UFC for a few years now. And while the Strikeforce vs UFC lightweight fights last week were split, Miller's going to show how much deeper the UFC's division was.

Light Heavyweight Match [UFC159-04]
PPV / Main Card
Match Points: 17.51
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
LHW #15	Phil Davis (10-1, 1 NC)	-329	5.32	22.83
LHW #29	Vinny Magalhaes (10-5, 1 NC)	+262	45.88	63.39

Vinny is in his second stint in the UFC, and I'm not sure why he's already getting a test as tough as this one in the form of Mr. Wonderful. Phil "Pink Shorts" Davis takes this one without exerting much effort.

Heavyweight Match [UFC159-03]
PPV / Main Card
Match Points: 18.35
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
HW #12	Roy Nelson (18-7)	-239	7.68	26.03
HW #16	Cheick Kongo (18-7-2)	+194	35.60	53.95

Big Country has only been knocked out once and it's very unlikely Kongo will be the second to accomplish that. Cheick is also unlikely to be able to impose his will on Nelson and hold him against the fence for three rounds. Roy will win by KO and put himself back in the title conversation.

Middleweight Match [UFC159-02]
PPV / Main Card / Co-Main Event
Match Points: 18.86
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
MW #11	Michael Bisping (23-5)	-171	11.03	29.89
MW #17	Alan Belcher (18-7)	+145	27.35	46.21

Bisping is an overrated prick. I so totally want to pick Belcher here. However, I've been burned a number of times this year by picking the guy I wanted to win. Sadly I think I have to go with "The Count" here.

Light Heavyweight Match [UFC159-01]
PPV / Main Card / Main Event / Championship
Match Points: 23.86
Rank	Fighter	Line	Points	Total
LHW #1	Jon Jones (17-1)	-909	2.62	26.48
MW #3	Chael Sonnen (27-12-1)	+624	148.89	172.75

There's not much to really say about this match. For those that are upset that the featherweight title is going to be defended against lightweights twice in a row should be even more upset about a second striaght middleweight challenging for the light heavyweight title. Regardless of what Dana White says, Chael doesn't desire this title shot and there's little hope for him here.

My Where's George Week in Review: 04/14/13 - 04/20/13

Hover over this explanation for more detailsThe nerd that I am, I chose to post once a week a summary of my previous week's Where's George activity in comparision to my goals for the year.

In order to make the charts fit, I had to abreviate the column headers. Each header is hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I got 39 hits in 10 States [CA³⁰, GA, IL, ND, NV, OH, OR, PA, TX, WA]. Of those hits, 4 were the 3^rd hit on the bill, 5 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (30) were the initial hit on the bill. Below is a calendar view of the hits throughout the week:

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
14	15	16	17	18	19	20
5	7	4	7	5	5	6

I came into the week with a 65 day hit streak. I got a hit on every day of this week which extended the streak to 72 days: good for my 4^th longest streak all-time. Here's a look at my all-time ten longest hit streaks:

Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days		Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days
1.	10/07/2012	01/02/2013	88		6.	09/26/2011	11/18/2011	54

5.	07/28/2011	09/23/2011	58		10.	07/21/2010	08/21/2010	32

Of the 10 States in which I received hits this past week, 1 were the first hit for that State in 2013: North Dakato. Overall I've received hits in 32 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

0         51

Previous New Still Needed for Goal Beyond Goal

The hit in North Dakota was my first since July of 2010. Of the States in which I've gotten hits (all but West Virginia), only Alaska had a longer time span without a hit. The hit in Pennsyvania was my first since January of 2013.

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 2 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 510. The newly hit counties were Clinton IL and Jefferson OR. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

483       581

Previous New Still Needed for Goal

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 99 Days 18 Hours 10 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 42^nd on my all-time longest active list.

I made predictions regarding bill entries and hits and new bills with hits for 2013. Here's a look at how I'm doing towards those predictions:

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 6361 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 112.1 bills per week for the rest of the year.

Looking at my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 87.64% so the goal is 88.64%), my percentage is now 88.06% [+0.43%].
