When my mother was pregnant with me, her third child, she was immersed in the greatest adventure of her life: the construction of our family home. It was situated at 1043 Sentinel Avenue on a newly-subdivided street that ran (and still does) between Wabash and Ganahl at the newer, northeast end of Boyle Heights. My mother had grown up over her father's clothing store in Saint Louis; my father, in a rundown, overcrowded courtyard in Brest L'Tovsk. For them, building a house was a radical act of self-invention.
The 1625-square-foot Spanish Colonial--white stucco, red tile roof, wrought iron spears supporting a canvas awning--incorporated as much 1920s Los Angeles ambience as a twenty-six-year-old woman with ten thousand dollars to spend could muster. Picture crystal chandeliers in the living and dining rooms separated by folding glass doors; mode-of-the-moment built-ins: dining buffet, breakfast nook, storage cabinets; a tiled bathroom with tub and stall shower. Add a rear garden, baby pink roses, oleanders, poinsettias, fruit trees--lemon, avocado, fig, peach--and a 1924 Dodge in the driveway. It was the life they sought materialized, free of time-worn constraints, pleasure-loving, mobile, prosperous. When the high-flying Twenties descended into a twelve-year-long Depression, they clung to the house as if it were a life raft.
Ours was the third house on the block. My parents' memories of goats grazing on the still unpaved street, the raw hills rising to the north, and the old frame house next to ours were reminders that a few years back the area had been ranch land. By the time I was a toddler, Sentinel was lined with other knock-off Spanish Colonials, occupied mostly by Eastern European Jewish families from the eastern and midwestern United States and Canada. Most spoke fluent English and, like my father, were experienced young merchants or manufacturers hoping to expand their range in booming Los Angeles. Alpert & Alpert, Inc., global recyclers; the Hoffman Meat Packing Company (Hoffy's Hot Dogs); Jackman's, creators of fine men's wear; Pacific Furniture, West Coast stylists, were all founded by first- or second-generation Sentinelites. Alongside these eventual pacesetters lived wage earners: a film studio carpenter, a Cudahy egg candler, a Los Angeles Times office manager, a laundry truck driver.
Boyle Heights attracted my parents for the same reasons it drew thousands of their kind. Jews were welcome, which was not the case throughout the city. Between World Wars I and II--the heyday of Jewish Boyle Heights--Los Angeles was promoted as a WASP paradise. Affluent new tracts tended to exclude non-whites and Jews, but a "No Jews or Dogs Allowed" sign could turn up almost anywhere. Inexpensive building sites (my parents' lot cost $3,000) and low rents were also inducements, as were the proliferation of Jewish communal facilities, proximity to downtown businesses and factories and, for healthseekers, a salubrious climate.
Wabash Avenue, the commercial artery, visibly defined the section as Jewish-American. Dual-language signs above kosher meat and chicken markets, groceries, bakeries and storefront meeting rooms, for every -ism and -ite, were interspersed with an American movie house, library, playground, bank, pool hall, beauty shop, et al. On a hilltop to the east rose a Jewish community center and synagogue. Smaller synagogues and meeting halls nestled between residences on side streets.
The schools served diverse ethnic enclaves: mostly Jews and Mexicans, mixed with strands of Japanese, Russians, Armenians, Blacks, Italians and Anglos. Driven by zeitgeist ideals, edicts from school administrators and self-preservation, our mostly Anglo teachers enjoined us to celebrate our ethnic cultures and those of our classmates. Most of us did, with discernible benefits. Decades later, when an attack of the who-am-I's drove me to reflect, it was clear that my delight in foreign languages, travel and cultural exchange began in Boyle Heights.
My earliest memories shine: house-proud parties, summer evenings on neighbors' front porches, kids' birthdays, street games, hikes in the surrounding hills, trips to local beaches (Venice's plunge and spouting fountain, Ocean Park's marathon dance contests). A few dark images linger: hiding from the butcher who threatened to cut off my sucking thumb, locked in the closet when I was bad (how bad?), bellowing at four to start school with the street's five-year-olds.
In 1929, the crash struck like an avalanche. Bankruptcies (two), ever-worsening health (my father's), quarrels with and estrangement from family members; Papa working seven days a week to stave off a second business failure; Mama, his only help, rushing home around six exhausted and angry; the Dodge dead in the driveway; the telephone disconnected; social life on hold, housekeeping makeshift, meals irregular.
Of the darkness that had descended, I spoke to no one. My newly-silent father became the Depression personified; my overburdened mother, tinder ready to explode; my brother, occupied elsewhere; my older sister, my surrogate mother. By seven or eight, I navigated the neighborhood alone--to and from school (skirting the scary stretches), to the public library and playground, the movies on Saturdays. When my second grade teacher went from washing my mouth out with soap for talking out of turn to a full day in the closet with adhesive tape sealing my lips, mum. When a boy I liked asked to meet me at the library then hid in the bushes to watch me wait, mum. When the neighborhood flasher chased me in the alley, mum. All worth a half a day's heartache. I always had friends, as I grew older, soulmates.
Until late adolescence, it rarely occurred to me that Boyle Heights was widely viewed as an unsavory neighborhood. Or that by residency I might be judged undesirable--a real possibility given my coping strategies: anti-authority (you bet), sarcastic (often), disease-ridden (no, except for a case of nits), radical (as the Bill of Rights), dishonest (occasionally).
After graduating high school, what I 'd rarely thought I thought of constantly. All it took was one Beverly Hills boyfriend's mother bemoaning his nightly drive "all the way to Boyle Heights." One prospective employer unwilling to trust a "Heights girl" at his cashier register. One college admissions officer slamming the gate on my neighborhood, my religion, and (this time justifiably) my high school record--B's, C's, an F, and cuts galore.
In late 1942, I got a job as a secretary-bookkeeper at a big, old hardware store at the corner of Third and Main. It was during World War II, and if you showed up you got hired. I won't describe Main Street except to say winos, sailors, soldiers, b-girls, bars, pawn shops, the Follies Theater, and Farmers and Merchants Bank. Nor will I detail my family's homefront war with life-threatening illnesses (first my brother's, then my father's) or our related insolvency. Once the health battles were won, the thought of spending more days on the bleak, splintery mezzanine of a cavernous hardware store and more nights writing letters to boys doing military service, or girlfriends away at college, spurred me to action.
In the next eighteen months, working part-time, I earned the required academic credits at a junior college and applied to the University of California, Berkeley. In January 1945, my wanna-be capitalist mother still not speaking to me--in her view UC Berkeley was a Soviet boot camp--I left with one suitcase and four hundred dollars in savings. My Berkeley years as a Hispanic America major, a story in itself, I'll fast-forward to graduation in June, 1947. I was set for a teaching job in Lima, Peru, when an architectural student from the Arizona-Sonora border interceded. We spoke the same languages--English, Yiddish and Spanish; my surname was the same as his mother's; we were born on the same day and, with matched fervor, disliked cold weather, heavy clothes-foods-ideas. The closest he came to a marriage proposal was to say, "Vamos a vivir como Indios" ("Let's live like Indians"). Our lives as aborigines began in a 10' by 10' room on a Southern Pacific main line in a federal housing project near Berkeley.
When El Indio graduated, we moved to the San Fernando Valley, then a burgeoning Los Angeles suburb. The next fifteen years I spent impersonating a model suburbanite from anywhere. In the 1960s, my efforts at mainstream, middle-class decorum exploded. The Democratic congressman I'd supported favored the Vietnam War; I marched in peace demonstrations. The rabbi at my temple called hippies the "scum of the earth"; my objection earned me a sermon for one. I could produce a Seder manual and a communal observance, but I couldn't persuade my husband and teenaged children to attend. My defenses in shambles, viral pneumonia rushed in. Hospitalized, temperature hovering around 105, for nearly a week I hallucinated giggling green gnomes, whispering relatives, newspaper headlines. One stuck: "THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM."
Home from the hospital, for the first time in years my thoughts turned to Boyle Heights, by then as Judenrein (cleansed of Jews) as my mother-in-law's destroyed shtetl. Long on memories, I hungered for facts of my vanished village. Local archives and libraries yielded few traces of the Heights' once city-sized (50,000 plus) Jewish population. Better recorded were the Jews who pioneered elsewhere in Los Angeles. The earliest to arrive, 1849 to 1852, had started businesses near the plaza, learned Spanish, savored local customs, just as my father had more than seven decades later. They also built homes, made friends, summoned relatives, as had my mother.
New works spawned by the budding ethnic history movement revealed comparable patterns of Jewish pioneering in other Western states. Captivated, I began to research and write full-time. In the next twenty years, I published fourteen articles and with my late husband completed Pioneer Jews: A New Life in the Far West--I wrote the text, he collected the photographs. Published in 1984 by Houghton Mifflin, this illustrated social history is still the only regionwide study of its kind. Spanning three and a half centuries, the work illuminates Jewish participation in every facet of Far Western development, and Jews of every stripe--men, women, Sephardic, Ashkenazic, pious, freethinking, commendable, contemptible, brilliant, dull, rich and poor.
The materials I collected (2,550 files), now the Harriet Rochlin Collection of Western Jewish History, are available to the public at UCLA's Charles E. Young Research Library, Special Collections. In June 2003, I delivered to the University of Arizona Library, Special Collections, the Fred Rochlin Papers, my husband's voluminous collection of Southwestern and Borderlands Jewish and general historical data and images. In 2006, I donated to UCLA the Harriet Rochlin Collection of Photographs of Western Jewish Life ca. 1845-1991. The original collection consists of 2,248 photographs (433 originals) and 1,623 photocopies.
By the time I'd completed Pioneer Jews, my interest in my birthplace had broadened to include Jewish life in the Spanish, Mexican and American Far West. Placed in a regional context, I saw Jewish Boyle Heights as a halfway station in time of need, the largest in the West. Like South Portland and West Colfax (in Denver), and still smaller eastern European Jewish enclaves in the West, its ill-deserved reputation and its lifespan were determined by Jewish and general circumstances in the city, the state and the region. With this knowledge came admiration for the high-spirited vitality of my natal neighborhood. Also a heartfelt appreciation, albeit belated, for an upbringing that turned out to be first-rate training for life in present-day, culturally-diverse Los Angeles.
In the next ten years, I moved beyond the documentable to areas academic historians eschew and novelists embrace. The private, unrecorded, unarticulated, veiled side of history that surfaces in emotionally credible reconstructions of time, place and personalities. Set in San Francisco and on the Arizona-Sonora border, my fictional Desert Dwellers Trilogy draws on composites of pioneers, personal and familial lore, and actual and fabricated places and events.
And the Who-Am-I's? They're gone forever. I'm a Jew and a Westerner; a Jewish Westerner, with roots in a Jewry now more than one million strong and growing. A distinctive Jewry, born and bred on the multicultural Western frontier, one finding its place and its voice in the pluralistic twenty-first century.

Item #7614
65 days. Growers in Danvers, Massachusetts
during the late-19th century were
searching for a carrot with improved
color, yield, and uniformity. After many
variations, the Danvers 126 carrot was
born! It grows particularly well
interplanted with onions and in heavy
soils due to its high fiber content.
Heat-tolerant with high yields, the
Danvers 126 also has a noticeably
sweeter flavor and stores exceptionally
well if cleaned after harvest. Resistant
to cracks and splits, strong tops make
harvesting easy. Deliciously fresh when
picked straight from the garden!
This packet sows twelve 10-foot rows.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED: 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 60 days before first fall frost. In very warm climates, carrots are grown primarily in fall, winter, and spring.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: For best flavor and texture, harvest Danvers 126 carrots at their optimal size of 6"-7" long and 1 1/2" in diameter. Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks. Late summer sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost, but please harvest before soil freezes, which would destroy the crop. If you live in a climate that doesn't fall below 20°F, you can leave carrots in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched, and harvest as needed.

Meredith Stiehm is returning to Homeland as executive producer, Deadline reports.
Stiehm, who was one of the original writers on the Showtime drama, left after Season 2 to run The Bridge with Elwood Reid. But she will now depart the FX drama after striking a deal with Homeland producer Fox 21 to return for Homeland's fourth season and its fifth, pending an order from Showtime. Stiehm's deal also includes a development component.
Fall TV Report Card: How's the new class doing?
"We're thrilled to welcome Meredith back, as she's been an integral part of Homeland from the beginning," Fox 21 President Bert Salke said. "She's a fantastic writer and this deal returns her to this hugely valuable asset as well as allows us to develop with her down the road."
Stiehm, who also created the CBS series Cold Case, will continue to stay involved with The Bridge as executive producer and writer. Reid will handle showrunner duties on The Bridge solo.

Although we are all bombarded on a daily basis by auto insurance advertisements on television, it is a rare day when any of us sit down and decide that it is really time to start looking for auto insurance online. Assuming your present insurance isn't unrealistically high, you probably aren't even thinking of shopping around at all.
However, if you can set aside a few hours, you should be able to find a way to save quite a lot on your auto insurance – in many cases, much more than you ever thought.
Auto insurance companies rely on all of us to not shop around, to not change companies, and to make the odd claim now and again. By making small claims, we enable them to raise their prices on us, putting even more money in their pockets. But, remember that auto insurance is for your protection and the protection of those around you, so make sure you are getting what you are paying for.
The best way to find auto insurance is most certainly by using the resources available online. There are a few ways you can go about doing this:
If you are going to try to find auto insurance online, you will want to make sure you have all of your documentation in front of you. Of course you will want your driver's license and social security number, but you will also need the vehicle identification number (VIN), make, model, and year of your car. If there is more than one driver in your household, you will need all of their information handy as well.
Some insurance companies will need to see actual copies of these documents, so if you are looking to save time AND money, then try to deal with companies who are internet-savvy and can accept e-mailed or faxed documents. You don't want to have to drive across town to give someone a copy of your driver's license!

Under Charlottes spell
Since I started this sampler, Charlotte Clayton is the one and only I'm working on. Although there is a bit of muttering coming from the craft room at the back of the house, where I think Frederick is complaining a bit about the lack of attention to his already finished partner Fredericka. But yeah, you know how men are, they always have something to mutter. I rather stay in the lounge with Charlotte and we're having some fun together.
For the rest there is not much new to tell. It's hot on some days, pouring rain on others. We're busy to get everything ready and done by the end of the month because on the 23rd of January we'll take the caravan and hit the ferry for a month of vacation in Tasmania. Really looking forward to that. Tasmania is new to me and I think it will be beautiful. A month of hiking.
Taking with me "Christmas Garden" by Blackbird Designs :) - if I don't change my mind...lol.
Anyway, gotta run. Charlotte is calling, and she can be rather impatient at times. So I better go and play a bit with her.

DETROIT – Local 4 is inside the courtroom for the federal corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father --Bernard Kilpatrick -- and his childhood friend Bobby Ferguson. We are bringing you information from inside federal court as it happens.
10:20AM Day 6 of jury deliberations in the Kwame Kilpatrick federal corruption trial and we have just learned that the jury has a question. In a few minutes, we will hear the question in Judge Nancy Edmunds's courtroom. So far there has only been one other major question asked by the jury on 1368, a $50 million sewer lining contract between the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) and Tony Soave's Inland Water Pollution Control.
Bernard Kilpatrick's defense lawyer John Shea is the first of the attorneys to arrive in the courtroom. He is discussing with the court reporters what the question might be about. There appears to be some confusion over exhibit information.
10:28AM US Attorney Michael Bullotta is the second to arrive in the courtroom. More lawyers should be streaming in shortly.
10:30AM Turned the video off. I guess they aren't quite ready yet.
10:44AM Video turned back on. US Attorney Mark Chutkow is now also in the courtroom with Bullotta. And the video is off again.
10:53AM Video back on again. I'm getting dizzy. Chutkow and Bullotta are accompanied by US Attorneys Jennifer Blackwell and Eric Doeh at the government's table. No one in the courtroom for the defense at the moment. Still waiting.
10:57AM All the US Attoneys just got up and walked to the back of the courtroom. Looked for a second that they might be headed to judge's chambers. But now they are seated again.
Michael Rataj, Bobby Ferguson's lawyer, is here and Shea is back. Gerald Thomas and Kwame Kilpatrick's lawyer Jim Thomas have also arrived. Gangs all here and ready to go.
10:58AM Judge Edmunds enters the courtroom.
Judge wants to discuss possible responses. Judge says that the jury is instructed over and over again not to read the newspapers in response to an objection to Jim Thomas.
Question about the wording in the counts, specifically Count 1 paragraph 7 and Count 7. Are items in Count 1 separate from all other counts asks the jury. Sounds like foreperson is a male.
Presence of defendants waived for this proceeding.
11:01AM Jury enters the courtroom.
The judge says the answer is as follows: both Counts 7 and Count 1 paragraph 7 are based on the same alleged conduct. The same is true for other paragraphs in Count 1 and other counts in the indictment. The difference in wording is that count 7 alleges extortion for which they have instructions. All counts are separate and independent of one another.
For which you have been given separate and independent instructions.
Count 1, which is the RICO- Racketeering Conspiracy, paragraph 7 and Count 7- an extortion count- paragraph 1, both have to do with DWS 849, the $27.9 million DWSD outfalls contract with Lakeshore Engineering. Both counts discuss extortion of $1.7million.
Here is the exact wording on the question and answer.
Jury Question:
Why are the individual counts within count 1 worded slightly differently than the individual counts?
Example: Count 7 paragraph 1 vs. Count 1 item #7.
They are both re: DWS 849 but one says economic harm created by previous actions but count seven says something different.
So our core question is: are the items in count 1 completely separate from all other counts?
This would have been easier to say than write.
Answer read by judge:
Both count 7 and count 1, paragraph 7, are based on the same alleged conduct. The same is true for other paragraphs in Count 1 and corresponding counts in the indictment.
the difference in wording is based on the fact that Count 7 alleges a violation of the federal crime of extortion for which you have been given instructions.
All the counts are separate and independent of one another.
For which you have been given separate and independent instructions.
That's it. Judge tells them to go back to the jury room and write any follow up questions.
Thomas tells judge to remind jury. Judge reminds the jury again to not read or watch any media input or talk to anyone else about what is going on in the case.
11:05AM Jury leaves and we wait a minute or 2 for any follow up questions.
Jim Thomas telling some joke about Michael Naughton. Judge Edmunds says that everyone says he looks just like Clark Kent. With the slicked back hair and the black rim glasses, I totally agree.
Judge mentions that if the weather gets really bad, she will let the jury go early. will keep them as long as they are comfortable staying.
11:07AM All set, no more jury questions. Quick sidebar. Video off.
That's it. Judge tells them to go back to the jury room and write any follow up questions.
Thomas tells judge to remind jury. Judge reminds the jury again to not read or watch any media input or talk to anyone else about what is going on in the case.

Recently Vogue featured the Brooklyn home of landscape designer and Vogue Contributing Editor, Miranda Brooks and her architect husband, Bastien Halard. Lead by Harlard, the rundown row house was completely renovated from head to toe in just six months. The interior design is American pastoral with rustic, yet elegant touches. And although new, the rooms are inviting and have a lived in feel I love. Speaking of love, it was the custom de Gournay wallcovering in the master bedroom and hand-painted/printed wallpapers in the girls' rooms that had me looking twice at this home. (swoon)
Isn't this a charming garden seat? Designed by Brooks of course!

Delicious! Can I use the normal soy flour? Or the one you used has already been toasted?
- Lydia said... on
- 24 July, 2012 13:16
I am not sure how does your normal soy flour look, and taste like. Do you use it for making soy drink (instant)? If so, it is probably cooked and yes, you can use it.
Toasted soy flour has a nutty aroma, and it can also be used for making soy drink by adding hot water. All the best!

Hi, I just wonder if the black syrup is the ready made syrup like maple syrup or you have any special recipe for this. Thanks.

- 27 July, 2012 06:54
The syrup I used was homemade with black (or dark brown) sugar. It is also available at supermarkets.
I think maple syrup goes well with this one too.

Big Journalism promotes advice on journalism from ... Pam Geller?
Yet again, Andrew Breitbart and his cohorts prove that they have no business running a website called "Big Journalism." Today, in a post titled "You Want News, Go To The Blogs, Not the In-the-Tank MSM," Pamela Geller discusses how you can find real journalism at websites like her own:
In that sense, bloggers are not journalists. The best bloggers aren't shilling for Obama and Pelosi the way journalists are. Instead, bloggers are doing the heavy lifting. Who breaks the stories today? Bloggers. Take my own blog, AtlasShrugs.com, for example. I broke the explosive story of tens of thousands of dollars of Obama contributions from a Hamas-controlled "refugee" camp in Gaza. Did the "journalists" in the mainstream media pursue this story? Not a chance. Obama's odd relationship with Kenyan pro-Sharia politician Raila Odinga? Atlas! Not to mention the numerous revelations I broke on the Rifqa Bary story (here and here and here and here), the story of the young Ohio girl who fled from her family in fear for her life after converting from Islam to Christianity.
While I agree that there is plenty of great journalism being done by bloggers, Pam Geller is certainly not one of them. Here's some proof from just the past few months:
- In a post titled "Flying The Gangsta Colors At The White House: SEIU, The Color Purple," Geller pointed to several blue shirts and ties and called them "purple" to accuse President Obama of sending secret messages to the evil unions.
- While lauding the NY Post for "pointing out the obvious," Geller promoted the ridiculous claim - debunked by Comedy Central - that the Nuclear Summit logo was mimicking an Islamic Crescent.
- Geller regularly smears the President and the administration as anti-Semites over the administration's policies regarding Israel. She has said Gen. David Petraeus is pushing "jihadist rhetoric of Islamic anti-semites" and said Obama "wants jihad to win" and is a "third worlder and a coward" who's "appeas[ing] his Islamic overlords."
- Despite regularly accusing the administration of anti-Semitism, Geller had no problem joining Fox Nation and several other conservative bloggers in borrowing an outlandish Obama smear from a blatantly anti-Semitic website.
But it gets better (or worse, depending on your take on these things). Here's the closing of her Big Journalism piece:
Summing up "journalistic" standards, Tuesday the Washington Post ran a photo of Malcolm X with a caption identifying him as Barack Obama. That's "journalism" for you. You want news? Go to the blogs.
Geller, with her impeccable standards, would never do something like run a photo of Malcolm X and identify it as Barack Obama. However, she did promote a story that alleged Barack Obama was the illegitimate love child of Malcolm X. Seriously.
After numerous progressive blogs pointed out how hilariously insane this was, Geller tried to distance herself from the story that she had reprinted on her website:
The Malcolm X claim is one minor part of this story, and was of interest to me principally as part of the writer's documentation that Stanley Ann Dunham could not have been where the Obama camp says she was at various times. I do not believe that Barack Obama is Malcolm X's love child, and never did -- but there remain many, many unanswered questions about his early life and upbringing.
So, while Barack Obama may not be Malcolm X's love child, Geller still openly speculated that Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama were hiding something about his "early life and upbringing."
Big Journalism.

Pasi Hakala
Comet PanSTARRS twinkles amid the glow of the northern lights over Lempaala in central Finland on March 17.
The skies were lit up with glowing auroral displays as well as the twinkle of Comet PanSTARRS over the weekend, and a few skywatchers could see both celestial phenomena at once. One of those lucky few happened to be Pasi Hakala, an astronomer at the University of Turku's Tuorla Observatory in Finland.
"I was preparing to take some pictures of Comet PanSTARRS (just as a hobby, even if I'm a professional astronomer) with my camera ... as the aurora appeared right next to it," Hakala said in an email. He said this picture was taken with "an old Olympus E-330 plus a legacy, fast Konica 57mm f/1.2 lens" — which just goes to show that you don't need the latest, greatest camera to take a great picture of the night sky.
It's also true that you don't need to be in Finland to get a great view of the aurora. This weekend's geomagnetic storm was so strong and sweeping that the northern lights were seen as far south as Colorado. "We generally only get to see auroras this far south of the Arctic Circle a few times a decade, when the sun is near the peak of its 11-year sunspot cycle," Jimmy Westlake, an astronomy professor at Colorado Mountain College, wrote in a column for the Steamboat Pilot & Today.
Check out Westlake's photo and more views of the northern lights and Comet PanSTARRS below.
Jimmy Westlake
Colorado Mountain College's Jimmy Westlake captured this view of the aurora behind the twin stone monoliths of Rabbit Ears Peak near Steamboat Springs, Colo. The picture was taken early March 17, "during the wee hours of St. Patrick's Day morning," using a Nikon D700 camera with 50mm lens at f/3.8, 30-second exposure at ISO 6400. As for Comet PanSTARRS: "Colorado has had one storm after another" over the past week, Westlake said, but he has seen the comet through holes in the clouds on three different nights. Check out Westlake's comet shot on SpaceWeather.com.
C/2011 L4 PanSTARRS setting from x-f on Vimeo. User x-f jokes that this video, captured on March 17 from Sigulda, Latvia, was "spoiled by an aurora."
Aurora Borealis in Abisko National Park, March 17, 2013, from Lights Over Lapland on Vimeo. "The combination of the auroras and a beautiful moon halo created a spectacular scene in the sky above Abisko National Park," Chad Blakley, the photographer behind Lights Over Lapland, wrote in an email. "If I am lucky we will get a few more nice displays before the midnight sun returns and steals the stage from the northern lights until they return in September. It has been an incredible season, and I am hopeful that the predictions about a double-peaked solar maximum will continue to provide us with powerful displays."
Chris Cook
Photographer Chris Cook and his son watch Comet PanSTARRS from First Encounter Beach in Eastham, Mass., on the evening of March 13. The photograph was taken via remote shutter release, using a Canon 5D and a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens. The image served as NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for Monday. Even though PanSTARRS has passed its peak brightness, the comet can still be seen by Northern Hemisphere observers after sunset in the western sky.
Submitted by Christoph Malin / FirstPerson
Christoph Malin sent in this picture of Comet PanSTARRS via NBC News' FirstPerson photo upload page. The comet was seen during the Imaging Expedition of the Institute of Astro- and Particle Physics at the University of Innsbruck, which went to the 10,000-foot-high (3,050-meter-high) Gaislachkogel Mountain in Ötztal, Austria. Check out this Vimeo clip, and look down below for links to more night-sky views submitted via FirstPerson and Twitter,

Phil Rogers says Gavin Floyd isn't the only White Sox player rumored to be traded to Boston:
With Eduardo Escobar already on the fringes of the big-league roster and Tyler Saladino on the horizon, why wouldn't Ken Williams consider sending Ramirez and [Gavin] Floyd to Boston in a package for as much 25-and-under talent as possible?
One rumor bouncing around says Ramirez isn't the White Sox regular the Red Sox are eyeing for the shortstop opening they created when they traded Marco Scutaro to the Rockies. It says they think Gordon Beckham is capable of regaining his ability as a run-producer and returning to the position he played at the University of Georgia.
Eduardo Escobar playing 2B? I don't see this happening.

It sounds like the national bird (of the US, that is), doesn't it?
The Atlantic has an article about women shaving off all their pubic hair or getting Brazilian waxes down there or even having the pubic hair permanently zapped with laser treatment. I recommend reading the whole piece from the beginning to the end to note how the actual reasons for this trend are subsumed in all sorts of dead-end theories about why young women, quite suddenly as history goes, have decided that a bald vulva is a necessary fashion or health accessory. Nothing replaces that reading as an exercise in learning how smoke is blown into our eyes when it comes to political issues about women. And this IS a political issue.
I'm not really blaming the writer who does do the necessary work of discussing the real reasons. But all the fluff around that real reason, about low-slung pants requiring the shaving of pubic hair (what about men?) to the age-old argument that women are smelly by nature are trotted out, and so is the idea that femininity means hairlessness (even if biology disagrees).
And this bit is really hilarious:
So what does it all mean? Is pubic hair removal a symbol of feminine pride, something that Gloria Steinem might be proud of? Or does it signify submission to a domineering male agenda?They are doing it because they want to? No wider societal influences there? Why don't we have lots of women completely shaving off their eyebrows? They are hair, after all, and unfeminine, and they might smell when you are sweaty after a workout or sex.
"It's all in how people deal with it," Herbenick says. As she's seen in her lecture-hall encounters, the hairless vulva isn't always analogous to the clenched fist of female solidarity; just as often, it's a telltale sign of oppression or forced conformity.
But, she says, uncovered, demystified genitalia can just as easily be a symbol of empowerment. "Many women have started to feel a sense of ownership over their bodies -- an autonomy," she says. "If they want to take it off, they take it off. If they want to grow it back, they grow it back. If they want to shave it into a heart, they shave it into a heart. But they're doing it because they want to."
The reason, of course is in p*rnography (which so far isn't that interested in eyebrows). It became widely available, in forms which did not require a man to walk into a crummy shop to buy a magazine, about twenty years ago. We now may have a generation of heterosexual men who formed their first ideas about how naked women look by watching p*rn. And women in those depictions do not have pubic hair. This is so that one can see all the dangly bits and the jingly bits better, of course.
Imagine such a man having first-time sex with a woman who actually has pubic hair! Might he not express shock or disgust at this horror? Might she not then feel that she, too, must shave her vulva bald?
That explanation suffices. All the other stories told in the article are either dead-ends or tales about the roads this influence took to get into the popular culture in general. But the direct route works really well, too:
Herbenick recalls one encounter in which a popular, well-liked college student in a class she taught openly professed that he had never hooked up with a girl who had pubic hair, and would frankly be disgusted to undress a woman and discover a veil of genital fur."Weird pubic hair." There you have it!
"Some girls talked to me and wrote in their papers that they had always had pubic hair, and in a couple cases never did anything to their pubic hair," she said. "They never thought it was a problem. But when he said that, they went home and changed it. They really started to feel ashamed about their bodies."
Fitzpatrick, similarly, finds himself in a collegiate scene full of young women far too obsessed with the hair down there. "It becomes a compulsion," he says.
Fitzpatrick's female friends, especially those who confess to not having waxed in a while, have added a distinct new routine to their social calendars: weekend-evening freak-outs. "When they go out on a Friday night to the bar, if they think they might be having sex with somebody later, they're like, 'Is he gonna judge me? What is he gonna think?'" Fitzpatrick says. Other non-waxed coeds simply skip the bar altogether.
Pinto, too, admits that she gets nervous about having sex toward the third or fourth week after getting a wax. "If I haven't waxed and I suddenly end up hooking up with someone, I'm like, Oh, God. No, no!" she says.
And it's true, says Fitzpatrick: Guys can be, and often are, "absolutely brutal." It's not uncommon for a college-aged man to "go out of his way" to make fun of a girl's pubic grooming habits with his buddies after he's hooked up with her -- even if he's never expressed a preference one way or the other, he says. "Then all of a sudden, instead of just being a girl who's had a fun night with her respective guy, she becomes that girl who has weird pubic hair. And nobody wants that label."
Two important points about this post: First, do a gender reversal on the arguments. All the arguments for a bald vulva seem to me to equally apply to men's pubic hair. The skin would be softer, the experience of intercourse would be more powerful, with less hairy padding, and so on. But do women shame men into shaving down there? And of course the real point about this first point is the absence of articles like this about men's pubic hair.
Second, and this is very important for any reader I have angered by downplaying "choice" here. We obviously have a choice about how much hair we want on our vulvas or around our penises. But those kinds of choices are never made in a vacuum. As I wrote in an earlier post, the women in this picture look very much alike, because their clothing was influenced by the culture they lived in:
Yet I'm pretty sure if we could have asked them about their choice of hairdo (the "Gibson Girl" of the early 20th century) or the dresses they would have given us individual choice explanations.
We are all affected by the culture we live in, and different choices carry different societal benefits and sanctions. This post is to point out why one particular "choice" has become more common and what drives its popularity.

Emma Stone's Red Hair is the Top-Requested Color in Los Angeles
Although she has been showcasing her sunny highlights on and off the big screen, Emma Stone's fiery red strands continue to give Tinseltown hair envy! We spoke to celebrity hair colorist Tracey Cunningham at Los Angeles's Mèche Salon, who told us the star's bold garnet was one of the most-desired shades among her clients. "Redheads will ring in the new year with intense, vibrant reds," said Cunningham, who works with Drew Barrymore. "This look fits with all skin tones." If you're considering a shift in shade, consider your skin's undertones before deciding on a color. Warm complexions like Stone's are flattered by spicy cinnamon or auburn shades, while hints of ash or blue complement cool-toned skin.

It's November….
Yes, I realize I'm a bit behind the times. Definitely had an off-week (or two!) in terms of posting and writing. Strep has been circulating in our little house, and I'm pretty sure it finally hit me yesterday. With a tired and cranky Little Goose who is already going through this lovely four-year-old phase of arguing and whining about EVERYTHING, I haven't gotten much accomplished. 🙂
So, rather than coming up with some fever-induced topic, I thought I would share one of my favorite "November" books.
In November, by Cynthia Rylant
I have read this book to my second graders every year for the last several, this year I'm sharing it with my daughter and the preschoolers I teach at home.
This is a beautiful, richly illustrated book about the quiet magic of this time of year. The images Cynthia Rylant creates in the minds of her readers are priceless, and Kastner's illustrations are perfect.
"In November, the trees are all standing sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are, spreading their arms like dancers. They know it is time to be still." (p. 8)
If you happen to be a teacher, this book is a must for your classroom library (as are most of Rylant's books). It's also perfect for sharing with your little ones at bedtime if you're a parent, and if you're a writer, you should own it purely to study the craft of Rylant's descriptions and the soft emotions she evokes with her words.
And … for those who are curious. 🙂
Book Two progress so far: 44,143
I very much want to break 50k this week!

This Web site has been produced as an online version of the chartbook, The Health and Well-Being of Children: A Portrait of States and the Nation 2007
Published by HRSA's MCHB in July 2009, the chartbook is based on data from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health. This is the second round of the survey; however, some questions were revised since the 2003 survey, and not all findings are comparable to those from the 2003 survey.
Indicators here report on the health and well-being of children, as well as the factors in the family environment and aspects of the neighborhood that may support or undermine the health of children and their families. The indicators present information on the health status and risk and protective factors experienced by children:

Technically, a heart murmur is simply a noise heard between the beats of the heart. When a doctor listens to the heart, she hears a sound something like lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub. Most often, the period between the lub and the dub and between the dub and the lub is silent. If there is any sound during this period, it is called a murmur. Although the word is unsettling, murmurs are extremely common, and usually normal (that is, the sounds are causes by a healthy heart pumping blood normally).
In preschool and school-age children, heart murmurs are almost always not a concern; the children require no special care, and the sound eventually disappears. These children have "normal" or so-called functional or innocent heart murmurs.
If your child has such a murmur, it probably will be discovered between the ages of one and five during a routine examination. The doctor then will listen carefully to determine if this is a "normal" heart murmur or one that might indicate a problem. Usually, just by listening to its sound, the pediatrician will be able to tell if a murmur is innocent (normal). If necessary, she will consult a pediatric cardiologist to be certain, but additional tests are usually not necessary.
On rare occasions, a pediatrician will hear a murmur that sounds abnormal enough to indicate that something might be wrong with the heart. If the doctor suspects this, your child will be referred to a pediatric cardiologist to enable a precise diagnosis to be made.
When do heart murmurs become a concern? When they occur very early at birth or during the first six months of life. These murmurs are not functional or innocent, and most likely they will require the attention of a pediatric cardiologist immediately. They may be due to abnormal connections between the pumping chambers (septal defects) or the major blood vessels coming from the heart (e.g., transposition of vessels). Your infant will be observed for changes in skin color (turning blue), as well as breathing or feeding difficulties. He also may undergo additional tests, such as a chest X-ray, electrocardiogram (ECG), and an echocardiogram. This echocardiogram creates a picture of the inside of the heart by using sound waves. If all of these tests prove normal, then it is safe to conclude that the baby has an innocent murmur, but the cardiologist and pediatrician may want to see him again to be absolutely certain. The cardiologist and pediatrician together will make a decision as to next steps depending on the results of these tests.
When a specific condition called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occurs, it is often detected shortly after birth, most commonly in premature babies. It is a potentially serious condition in which blood circulates abnormally between two of the major arteries near the heart, due to the failure of a blood vessel (the ductus arteriosis) between these arteries to properly close. In most cases, the only symptom of PDA is a heart murmur until the ductus closes on its own shortly after birth, which often happens in otherwise healthy, full-term newborns. Sometimes, especially in premature babies, it may not close on its own, or it may be large and permit too much blood to pass through the lungs, which can place extra strain on the heart, forcing it to work harder and causing a rise in blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. If this is the case, a medication or, rarely, surgery may be needed to help close the PDA.
Innocent heart murmurs are normal and therefore require no treatment. Children with these innocent heart murmers do not need repeated evaluation or long-term follow-up care from cardiologist, nor do they require restrictions on sports or other physical activities.
Innocent heart murmurs generally disappear by midadolescence. Cardiologists don't know why they go away, any more than we know why they appear in the first place. In the meantime, don't be discouraged if the murmur is softer on one visit to the pediatrician and loud again on the next. This may simply mean that your child's heart is beating at a slightly different rate each time. Most likely the murmur will go away eventually.
Patent ductus arteriosus is a selfcorrecting problem in some cases, or medications can be used to close a PDA. But if the ductus arteriosus remains open, it may need to be corrected surgically or with a catheter.
If other, more serious, heart conditions are diagnosed from birth or shortly thereafter, and the evaluation reveals more serious defects, the pediatric cardiologist and pediatrician will consult a pediatric cardiac surgeon at a regional Pediatric Cardiac Center where complete pediatric cardiac diagnostic and intervention capabilities exist.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (May 7, 2012) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team had little trouble winning their first match of the NORCECA Men's Continental Olympic Qualification Tournament as they swept Trinidad & Tobago on Monday, 25-9, 25-10, 25-14 at the Pyramid in Long Beach.
The winner of the eight-team tournament will qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The U.S. Men open tournament pool play with a 1-0 record and will play Costa Rica (0-1) at 8 p.m. PT on Tuesday. Trinidad & Tobago will play Mexico at 3 p.m. PT.
The U.S. dominated Trinidad & Tobago, leading 12-0 in aces, 7-2 in blocks and 33-14 in attacks.
"It was our first match," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said. "I thought it was important that we play with the right mentality and a good sense of urgency."
U.S. middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) led all scorers on Monday with 11 points on a match-high eight attacks (72.7 kill percent, .636 hitting efficiency), two blocks and one ace.
Outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) added nine points on six attacks, one block and two aces. Outside hitter Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.), who started only the third set, totaled seven points on five kills and two aces.
Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) finished with six points on two kills, one block and a match-high three aces. Opposite and team captain Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) totaled six points on six attacks.
"We did a great job behind the service line," Stanley said. "Our block was good and it put a lot of pressure on Trinidad."
Opposite Dave McKienzie (Littleton, Colo.) scored five points on four kills and one ace. Setter Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) finished with four points on two blocks and two aces. Middle blocker Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) added three points on one kill, one block and one ace.
Middle blocker Ryan Millar (Alpine, Utah) finished with one point on one attack.
Suxho set the U.S. Men to a 67.3 kill percent and a .571 hitting efficiency.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) led in digs with 11 and was credited with four excellent serve receptions. Anderson led the team in excellent receptions with eight.
Trinidad team captain Nolan Tash paced the Caribbean team with six points on six attacks.
U.S. Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe started Anderson and Priddy at outside hitter, Lee and Millar at middle blocker, Suxho at setter, Stanley at opposite and Lambourne at libero.
Lotman started the third set for Priddy. Holmes took over for Millar in the second set and started the third. McKienzie played as a substitute as did outside hitter Riley Salmon (League City, Texas).
The U.S. took an 8-4 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) of the first set and led 13-6 when Anderson took the serve and opened with an ace. He served for the next six points, including another ace. His run finally ended when he served in the net and the U.S. Men were leading 21-8. Trinidad and Tobago scored once more on a U.S. service error, but the U.S. Men cruised to the set victory.
The U.S. took an 8-3 lead in the second set, scoring on two kills from Lee and one each from Priddy, Millar and Stanley. Coming out of the break, the U.S. scored on a Trinidad mistake and Millar block to increase the lead to 10-3 before Tash came back with a kill to end the run. The U.S. led 16-7 at the second TTO. The U.S. Men led 19-10 when Stanley scored with a kill, giving the serve to Priddy opened with an ace. The U.S. got three more kills from Anderson, Stanley and Holmes as they won the set.
The U.S. led 8-4 at the first TTO of the third set, scoring on two kills from Lee and one by Lotman, who also had an ace. The U.S. also had two blocks. Trinidad did not give up and pulled to within three points at 12-9, but it was called for a net violation and then had a passing error to put the U.S. Men back up by five. With the U.S. leading 15-11, Anderson scored with a kill and block and Lotman had an ace to give the U.S. an 18-11 lead. Tash came back with a kill, but Trinidad served out of bounds and the U.S. scored on a McKienzie kill and Holmes ace to lead 21-12 and roll to the victory.

Beat the Streak Report: Thursday, September 1
Steve Summer got a little crazy yesterday.
Instead of using a speedy left-handed hitter, as is his stated preference, our season leader risked his 42-game run on a speedy right-handed batter — Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro. Talk about opening up the playbook! Next stop: slow switch-hitters.
Of course, Castro came through with a third-inning single to advance Steve's run to 43 straight games and move him into a tie for the eighth-longest run in BTS' 11-year history.
The all-time BTS record of 49 games is definitely in play here. Fifty-seven straight, and the $5.6 million prize that comes with it, is looming on the not-so-distant horizon. Now that Steve is open to batters of any handedness, this thing is about to get real.

Surprised the leader didn't go with Ichy, coming off and 0 fer against a pitcher he hits well.
Braun, leader's pick, now 0-3, Will get 1 more AB. With LaRussa swapping out pitchers willy-nilly; unlikely to get 2 more ABs.
Kinda hope this comes back to bite him — lesson learned. Risking a high streak on a pitcher Brewers never seen before. That scenario, we all know, usually limits ABs for entire team. Not only that, Cardinals need this game in a huge way! What are odds they'll give Braun anything great to swing at. Same goes with Fielder. At end of season, picking in games between 2 contenders is not the same as when the teams face off before the All Star break. My opinion of course.
0-4 now, made 3rd out in 7th.
Possible to get up 1 more time with a few extra hitters in 8th and/or 9th
Poor pitching in the 8th gave Braun an extra AB and moves the leader up. I wish I had some of his luck. Castro yesterday, 1 of just 2 to get a hit. Today, Braun shouldn't have seen the 9th, but gets up & fights one off to right field. Don't think there's much fur left on that rabbit's foot

This time of the year is always bittersweet. Shuffling up the collective deck of players and dealing them all over the NBA map is fun and exciting, like the time you see your first boob up close. You've spent a lot of time imagining it, then – poof – it's there right in front of you and you have no idea what to do. You never really thought it would be a reality. Man, I can't wait 'til I see my first boob. Anyway, after spending six months wondering what Carmelo was going to do, we find out 36 hours later what Deron Williams was going to do. The only thing is, no one was wondering what D'Will was going to do. Now? Now we have to wonder. And we have to wonder about Devin Harris on the Jazz or Derrick Favors playing the role of 2008 Paul Millsap or Troy Murphy floating out in a weird limbo where he might wear a jersey again this season, or he might not. Actually, that last one should be easy to imagine. Almost 30 players have been traded in the last 48 hours. Thirty, you guys. That's a ton of hypothesizing. Hypothesizing about fantasy basketball is like waking up from a dream only to realize you're still dreaming. Also, someone stole Liam Neeson's identity and he wants to know why! Who knows how it's all going to shake out – especially because you just know there's a couple more trades coming. Yesterday's trade, although huge and shocking, doesn't much help anyone except, perhaps, some of the Nets. It certainly doesn't help Al Jefferson, who thought he had finally hit paydirt in Utah and lost a Hall of Fame coach and an elite point guard in the span of three weeks. Someone take his shoelaces away. Williams has a significantly softer roster to distribute the ball to (unless Williams can make Lopez and Humphries and Morrow better, which didn't prove to be the case with anyone on the Jazz this season). I'm suggesting everyone remain in a holding pattern. With the exception of Favors, don't drop anyone. With the exception of Kris Humphries, don't pick anyone up. Humphries will likely become the starting PF, with Brendan Wright coming off the bench and producing just enough that you'll wonder whether to pluck him off waivers, but not enough for me to suggest you pluck him off waivers. Nothing was holding Harris back in Jersey, except for an overmatched coach with a hodgepodge roster. So, yeah. Utah. Should be about the same. Favors is a drop in all but the deepest of leagues and I've still got about 15 traded players to mention in today's rundown. Come. Join in my reindeer games. Not to be confused with Reindeer Games with Theron and Affleck. No one wants to join in on that.
Here's what else happened in fantasy basketball yesterday:
Marcus Thornton – Traded from the Hornets bench, where he was inexplicably used sparingly and everyone wondered why to the Kings where he'll likely be inexplicably used sparingly and no one will notice.
Carl Landry – Went from Sacramento to New Orleans. I'm guessing Landry spends every free moment during home games to sneak over the Texas border in his old Rockets uniform hoping no one remembers they got rid of him 12 months ago.
Kirk Hinrich – Will do his Mike Bibby impression for Atlanta, only better and with less physical grossness. For those of you who missed out on Ty Lawson (or, as it appears now, "avoided Ty Lawson"), Hinrich is a must-add for any leagues of 12-or-more teams.
Joakim Noah – 7/16, in 28 minutes. His shot was off and he didn't get a block, but if you own the guy, you're happy with this first game in two months. If you want to keep him on the bench for Chicago's next game against Miami, go ahead (though he'll likely clobber Z and Joel Anthony). After that, they face Milwaukee and D.C. Make sure he's in your lineup by then.
Mike Dunleavy – Out indefinitely with a broken thumb. It now matches his oblong Skeletor face. Grab Paul George (good) and Brandon Rush (starting), in that order.
Troy Murphy – He's a Warrior now, but the Warriors don't want him. Hiya, 2006. Meet 2011.
Kendrick Perkins – Out a week, strained MCL. His sour face was appropriate for a fleeting minute when he received the news.
Brandon Roy – He returned, dropped a 5/0/1 line in 16 minutes. If you're into trends, look for this one to continue. Also, he's still not returning calls.
Ron Artest – 24/6/4, with five threes. Whoa, Ron Artest. Chill out.
Peja Stojakovic – He's averaging 15.5 ppg in his last four, along with 3 3ptm in that span. Yes, I'm surprised. No, I don't think he'll keep it up.
James Johnson – 9/5, with three blocks in 29 starter's minutes. He was sub-par talent in Chicago, which makes him about the third best player on the Raptors. Medium-sized leagues should surveille him as if he were a group of punkass teens huddled near the porno section of your 7-11.
Gary Neal – Four threes last night. Eight threes in his last two games. Eighteen in the last 10. Jrue story.
Chase Budinger – Hey Kyle Lowry, nice 1-for-10. Aaron Brooks, your 2-for-12 was also appreciated. Don't make Houston replace you both with a lanky blonde dude. Don't make th… KaBoOom! 30/8 with four threes in 29 minutes. I wouldn't pick him up based on one performance (see: Patterson, Patrick from 2/22/11), but it's important to remember this game in case the other two stay frozen longer than Han Solo in Empire.
JaVale McGee – Played a little more than 12 minutes. His back didn't look to be giving him fits and he wasn't on the court long enough to be in foul trouble. If you can get rid of Epic Vale, do it.
Andray Blatche – Sprained his ankle, returned, possibly injured the ankle further. I'd be shocked if he plays in D.C.'s next game. For the record, blatche is the exact sound of a sprained ankle getting sprained a second time.
Tracy McGrady – 16/5/12, after being in a slump his last few games. Still, we all owe T-Mac an apology for how we treated him before this season. We'll also owe him an apology in October when he still isn't ranked in the top 100.
Greg Monroe – A career-high 27 points in addition to a dozen rebounds. He's still a little erratic, but Monroe is at the top of my sleeper list for next season. Keeper leagues should find a spot for this guy on their roster even if they have no use for him this year.
Jermaine Taylor – 21/5. I know what you're thinking. Yes. He has had two solid games in a row, including a career-high 21 points, but he shot 9-for-12 last night and didn't contribute much else. Is it more likely that this guy continues shooting .609 from the field (as he has in his last two games) or that he goes back to shooting .450? 13/5 is more what you should expect with Evans out. You were warned.
Toney Douglas – 23/3/3, with two steals from the bench. Now that New York has decimated their bench, Douglas, Williams and Walker are the only three that might produce anything. My guess would have been Douglas. It still is Douglas.
Amar'e Stoudemire – "Hey Carmelo, it's cool, man. Don't worry about me. We got the win, that's what's important. Just gotta get used to y'all" Yeah. I'm really not feelin' the pep talk now dawg. "Yeah but, you win some you lose some, C. I scored 19 points. The rebounds? They were down a bit. I'm not down about it." That's the problem, STAT … Five rebounds and you fouled out, man. Four turnovers! I double-doubled first time out. Six fouls on Mbah a Whatever? "Aw, don't be like that 'Melo–" No, I'm gonna be like that. You only get one chance to make a first impression on New York and we looked beatable. You couldn't have gotten a few more boards, STAT? "Sorry C. My goggles was foggy and –" Just stop that, Amar'e. Your excuses demean the both of us. Lemme just sit here silently for a minute while I figure out why just lookin' at Ersan Ilyasova makes me giggle.
