Springtime planting and harvesting in the vegetable garden
By Dawn Pettinelli - UConn Home & Garden Education Center
Home & Garden - posted Mon., May. 7, 2012
Few gardening endeavors are as satisfying as raising one's own vegetables. While growing produce will cut down on your grocery bills, that fresh-from-the-garden taste is also a major incentive for planting a vegetable garden.
Some vegetables are more challenging to raise than others. Meeting their light, water and nutritional needs is the best way to insure healthy, productive plants. Take time to prepare your beds before planting, adding limestone, fertilizer (either natural or synthetic) and organic matter if necessary. Not sure how much to add? Consider a soil test. Go to www.soiltest.uconn.edu for more information.
New gardeners especially tend to go overboard when planning the vegetable garden. If this is your first try at growing vegetables, start small. A well-kept garden of moderate size will leave you a lot less frustrated than a large, overgrown one. Keep a garden journal to record the planting dates, location and performance of your vegetables. This information will then help you decide which varieties to grow again and when to plant them. It will also be useful when planning crop rotations for future years.
By now your cool-season crops should pretty much be in. Lettuce, spinach, chard, radishes, kale, peas, beets and carrots are easily grown from seed. Onions are usually planted as small bulbs or "sets." Broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower are typically set out as transplants. I did have fairly good luck direct seeding kohlrabi and "Dia Green" broccoli last year, but that may have been because the rains kept the seeds from drying out.
Even if your garden space is limited, you can still produce a bountiful harvest by combining quick-maturing vegetables with long-season crops. For instance, lettuce can be placed in the tomato bed now and the first harvest plucked around the time the tomato plants are set in. More lettuce transplants can be tucked in between the tomatoes. As the tomatoes grow, their leaves will shade the lettuce from the hot, summer sun.
Fast-growing bush beans or summer squash can follow a spring crop of spinach or peas. Scallions, beets, baby carrots and radishes are also good choices for filling in vacant areas during either cooler spring or fall weather.
In the past, the Memorial Day weekend was the traditional time to plant tender vegetables that luxuriate in the hot weather. With this warm winter and spring, and an eye on long-term forecasts, we may be able to set tender plants out a week or two earlier, all the while being ready to cover them if late frost threatens. It really is best to wait until the soil and air temperatures warm before putting tender plants out, as they do not grow well in cool soils.
Once the soil has warmed and the beds are planted and free of weeds, put down a mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. I find grass clippings, as long as no herbicide was used on them, work quite well and are readily available. Usually it is best to leave the clippings on the lawn to recycle nutrients and boost organic matter content, but they can be picked up for a week or two for use in the vegetable garden.
Spend some time learning which insect pests you are likely to encounter and monitor for them regularly. Many insect pests such as leaf miners, root maggots and cucumber beetles can be discouraged by covering your crops with floating row covers or fine netting. They must be removed from cucumbers and squash, however, when flowering starts as bees are required for pollination.
Dress up your vegetable garden with colorful annuals and make it a point to harvest the fruits of your labor regularly. Take pride in your successes and learn from your failings. After all, gardening is supposed to be enjoyed.
If you have questions about vegetable gardening, insect pests or any other horticultural topic, feel free to contact the UConn Home and Garden Education Center, toll-free, at 860-486-6271, visit the website www.ladybug.uconn.edu, or contact your local Cooperative Extension Office.

DOLORES – The Bureau of Land Management announced on Wednesday, the deferral of five parcels within San Miguel, Dolores and Montrose counties associated with the February 2014 oil and gas lease sale.
In May 2013, the BLM requested public comments on the five parcels proposed for the oil and gas lease sale totaling 5,443 acres. The deferral allows the BLM additional time to conduct further analysis of the proposed lease parcels. Once the analysis is complete the parcels may be offered as early as the May 2014 lease sale or at a later sale.

Long time dreamer--finally ready
Ive been dreaming of Afrika ever since I read my first Capstick book toooo many years ago. Capstick lead me to the classics and contemporaries. It should have been a clue when my fiancee refused the idea of a 30 day safari as a honeymoon..... now 16 years later; I no longer have her holding me back.
Im in the very earliest stages of planning my first safari to Afrika. Im only getting started and havent decided where, what, or exactly when (2012 for sure). Being more realistic it wont be for 30 days; but I am thinking 10+.
Id sure appreciate some suggestions and friendly direction.

Hi Bruce, I'm going to recommend you save your money and find a 14-16 day leopard hunt, right off the bat. Impala and zebra make great bait. Usually there are other animals like eland, kudu, warthogs, bushbucks, small cats, and small antelope available. I sure wish I had did my hunting that way. The number one animal for me was (Leopard, kudu and sable), right now I have a good kudu. If leopard is your dream....go now!

Congratulations on posting for 500 consecutive days. In less then three years. Very good start. Lets be buddies also. Thanks. Shep
Keep going like a PRO Pittsburgh GasBuddy! We are all here helping others save on gas and we help even more when we all post gas prices each day! Posting regularly each day can help each of us see where the best gas deals are located, it's really a big help to the tens of thousands of GBs and others, especially those that travel! It takes dedication and persistence, and it looks like you have what it takes, to climb the GasBuddy ladder to each new level, and hundreds of GBs do it each day! Posting at least 975 points each day, and also getting the weekly poll really helps GBs get to their next level much sooner than 96% of the other GBs that just post gas prices occasionally or just post part time! 95% or more of new GBs will not make it to their 1st red car (1M points), most of the more than 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close, but keep going, you can do it, you're getting closer each day, it's not time to give up or even slow down! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron

Stanford's Josh Nunes taking medical retirement, ending Cardinal career
By Zac Ellis
One year after winning the starting quarterback job at Stanford, Josh Nunes' football career is over.
The Cardinal announced Monday that Nunes will take a medical retirement and wrap his career with the program.
The decision most likely resulted from a bicep injury Nunes suffered in the weight room after the season, which kept him out of spring practice.
We regret to report that senior QB Josh Nunes is medically retiring, ending his Cardinal career. Please join us w/ thx to Josh! #gostanford—
Stanford Football (@StanfordFball) April 29, 2013
Nunes started the first nine games last season before coach David Shaw handed the reins to Kevin Hogan against Colorado. Nunes completed just 52.8 percent of his passes and threw for 1,643 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2012. The junior was likely to serve as Hogan's backup this fall, but his departure leaves freshmen Evan Crower and Dallas Lloyd to compete for that duty.

Wharfedale Delivers Cool Modernism With Onyx Loudspeakers
By Marie Jones | Tuesday | 14/06/2011
Audio Visual Revolution has announced a new series of loudspeakers from Wharfedale that bridges the gap between performance and design with a fiery passion.
The multi-layered Onyx loudspeaker range conprises two floor-standing models, a stand mount speaker with matching dedicated stand, two centre channel models and a subwoofer.
Engineered as a prestige range, it couples the acoustic refinement and experience of the famous Wharfedale Evolution series with an ultra-modern deep gloss aesthetic.
The Onyx also offers a definitive focal point of aesthetics and design, both in terms of hi-fi system and overall interior décor of a room.
The floor-standing Onyx 300 and 200 models both feature Wharfedale's wide dispersion side firing bass drivers.
Developed exclusively for this application, this new generation of low-profile drivers have a near 360 degree radiation profile, allowing them to integrate seamlessly with the front firing speakers.
Through careful positioning these side-firing units can be used to augment the in-room bass response. Positioning them to fire towards side-walls can increase in-room bass response by around 6dB, whilst if positioned to fire inwards, they produce a more-dynamic, tauter performance.
According to Audio Visual Revolution, Power is meaningless without control and no more so is this true than in drive unit design of the Onyx. Every aspect of performance requires a perfect balance of power and control, says the company, and the Onyx series embodies this philosophy with its refinement and clarity.
The Onys speakers are available from authorised Wharfedale retailers priced as follows:
Onyx 300 Floor-standing speakers - $2,649.00Onyx 200 Floor-standing speakers - $2,149.00Onyx 100 Bookshelf speakers - $999.00Onyx Centre2 Centre Speaker - $749.00Onyx centre1 Centre Speaker - $649.00Onyx Subwoofer - $1,149.00

Rondology: DPOY Time
|Posted by paul on November 10, 2012 at 9:35 AM
Danny Ainge made a momentous decision three years ago, when he pulled the trigger on The Trade. To this day, it's hard to understand why he did it. Most of the given reasons were obvious smoke. Because Shaq was going to save the day and therefore we didn't really need Perkins? Give me a break. Somehow most of the media, and bloggers, and smartypants fans bought that line of baloney. That alone is a sad commentary on our times, on how eager many of us - especially the smartypants - are to be fooled. Don't give us real medicine. We'd rather have snakeoil.
In my opinion, the real reason Danny made the Perkins-for-Green trade was that the ownership had instructed him to get rid of Perkins, and the reason for this, according to my speculation, was that they wanted to send a message to the players that they were going to go to the wall in the Lockout negotiations; reportedly the Celtics owners were leading hardliners in those negotiations. The Celtics pretty much blew a great shot at a championship because they didn't want to negotiate with Perkins. When that whole situation is put into context with the larger situation, the Lockout, it's not hard to figure out what it was really all about. The Cs' ownership's willingness to sacrifice a championship shot had to ring a loud bell for the players.
Regardless of reasons, the consequences of The Trade have continued to play out ever since. Perkins is not an outstanding rebounder, or scorer. Well, he's lousy. He's not much good at anything, really. But he's tough. And he is a dedicated defender of the paint on defense. Even on offense he contributes, as someone who takes up space, and sets picks. He does the dirty work. Paired with Garnett, he gave us a stout back line to our defense, and some toughness on the offensive side. Ever since The Trade, we have struggled on the interior. Of course, no one wants to talk about it, something Shawn rightfully appeared to allude to earlier today. No one wants to talk about the Perkins Trade, two years later, even though we continue to suffer from the consequences, and even though KG has indirectly alluded to it himself by comparing Sullinger to Perkins. Perkins made KG better. Perkins made the whole team better.
The Celtics are a stubborn team, and this is part of what makes them great. Even as their substance has been hollowed out over the years, they have stubbornly continued to see themselves as champions, and this has allowed them to be more like champions than they really should have been able to be. The thing is, what makes you strong can also hurt you. The refusal to recognize that the years are going by, and times are changing, can condemn a person, an institution, a country, and a basketball team. We continue to play on offense as if Ray Allen were still here, and we continue to play on defense as though Perkins were still here, and we continue to play as though the Big Three were still young and dominant. We are stubborn. We don't want to embrace change. We have gotten used to certain patterns, certain ways of doing things.
When we look at what is going on with this team now, it should shock us a bit. We are totally reliant on Kevin Garnett on both ends of the court, even though KG can only play 30 mpg, and even though he is not the dominant player he once was. This is crazy, not only because he cannot reasonably be expected to carry the load, but also because we have a lot of other talent. What will it take for us to change the way we do things? Will KG have to go down under the strain? Will we have to have a long losing streak that threatens to take us out of playoff contention? There was talk this summer about changing the way we do things, but that talk doesn't seem to have manifested itself on the court much. Instead that word "execution" has been popping up over and over again, as it so often has over the past six years. It's clearly Doc's favorite word. Doc loves the intricacies of the game of basketball. Sometimes I think he misses the forest for, not just the trees, but the leaves of the trees!
It's too easy to blame Jeff Green, Jason Terry and Courtney Lee for underperforming, when they've been thrust into a system that may not suit their talents. As I understand it, these guys need an up-tempo, energy-based game. The intricate half-court oriented game the Celtics have favored in recent years is not the kind of game they are best suited for. I'm not saying we should abandon our sets and patterns. I'm saying that we have to change the emphasis, and there was in fact some talk about this over the summer. I recall Rondo saying that the team was going to play a more uptempo game. I think they actually have played more of an uptempo game, but not much more. Basically they seem to be trying to pour new wine into old bottles, regardless of how well it fits.
But in sports, as in all things, one thing depends on another. Everything is interconnected. As soon as one starts talking about one aspect of the game, one finds oneself talking about another, and then another, in an endless chain that curves in on itself over and over again. Thus it's hard to talk about the Celtics pushing the pace without talking about the Celtics defense. It's difficult to fast break, for example, when you are not able to stop the other team from scoring. A fast break team has to play strong defense, and it has to rebound well. Last year we played strong defense, but we didn't rebound well. This year we aren't even playing strong defense. How did we go from being an elite defense to being a bad defense? Well that brings us back to Perk, doesn't it? And that brings us around to Rondo.
It used to be that only the Haters would harp endlessly on Rondo's defensive shortcomings. Now it's impossible not to notice that Rondo's man routinely blows by him, either off the dribble, or off a screen, penetrating our defense, forcing frenzied rotations, which in turn cause us to lose the rebound even if we are able to prevent the penetrator from either scoring, or dishing to a scorer. Even Doc has been forced to speak to this, claiming that Rondo couldn't go all-out on the defensive end because he has to work too hard on the offensive end.
Honestly, the way the relationship between Doc and Rondo has grown is very touching. It really is. Doc seems to love Rondo as a son at this point. Who can forget the emotion he showed towards Rondo after the loss to the Heat last year. I think a lot of us feel some of this for Rondo. As surly as he can be with the media, and as cocky as he can be, and as lazy as he can seem on the court sometimes, he is very loveable in many ways. Look at the game last night. After the way Rondo seemed to will the team back into the game in the second half, on his way to a fairly astonishing 20 assists, it seems unkind to remind anyone that it was Rondo's lack of defense on Jrue Holiday in the first half that helped to bury the Cs in a hole they could not escape. When the Willful Wizard of of the Boston Garden finally arrived at the game, in the second half last night, he made us forget about Mr. Cool's less than inspiring first half performance in the first half, but not quite. Unfortunately, the old Rondo I'll-turn-it-on-when-I-want-to magic doesn't quite work anymore. I'm not sure it ever worked as well as Rondo may have thought. But now folks rightly expect too much from Rondo to continue to overlook his lapses.
In a way, it's unfair to Rondo to complain about his lapses. He really is playing more consistently than he has in years past. Already we can see this. Rewind back to the start of last year. Back then, Rondo played two straight great games, and then dialed in the Jarrett Jack stinker in game three. It's hard to imagine that 'Jarrett Jack' Rondo ever showing up this year. After five games, we haven't seen a hint of that Rondo. He's already leading the league in assists, playing more minutes than anyone, and scoring more points than he has before, and he's shooting with more confidence. And one gets the feeling that Rondo has barely gotten started. He's not clicking on all cylinders, by any means. But without a doubt, he has made a great start towards being this Celtics team's accepted leader.
But the key to the next step, in my opinion (and Scal's too, I hasten to add), is for Rondo to raise his defensive commitment. In the past, it was understandable that Rondo would be more focused on the offensive end, and that his defensive play would slide a little, but it's time to reverse that trend. It's like a song, where you work hard on the chorus, and it gets better and better, but then you hit a block, and can't seem to get the song to the next level. Then you realize that you haven't considered the intro in a while, that you'd forgotten all about it, and that you need to work on it some. So you work on the intro, and then the whole song begins to gel again and gets better and better. Rondo's man to man defense is like that intro now. It needs his attention and his focus and his energy, and the whole team needs that.
In a way, the point guard's defensive play really is the intro to the entire defense; as the opposing offense tries to bring the ball up, the quality of the opposition they encounter can have a big effect on how well the rest of the defense is able to resist or even disrupt what the offense wants to do. It's all about initiative. Generally, offense is inherently aggressive, and defense is inherently passive, but strong defenses try to turn that upside-down. With a team like the Celtics, whose back line is not powerful, the front line of the defense becomes especially important. The defensive play of the point guard, particularly his man-to-man / on the ball defensive play is especially important.
Rondo has all the talent he needs for defensive play. He showed some of it in the second half last night, where he seemed to try harder to turn the tables on Holiday. I remember thinking about Rondo's amazing defensive talent and knowledge early in the first game of the season, against the Heat, where Lebron was on a breakaway, and Rondo expertly picked him up around the three point circle and rode him out of the play. Who does this to Lebron James?! This is the kind of thing that makes coaches go nuts over Rondo, I think. But it's time for Doc to stop making excuses for the seemingly lazy way Rondo often plays on the defensive end in man-to-man. For goodness sake, most of the time he doesn't even go into any sort of defensive crouch!! Sometimes the fundementals aren't just for drones, Rondo! A solid defensive crouch can help with your lateral quickness against a shifty guard, according to fundementals 101, right? Oftentimes Rondo doesn't even get his hands in the air to make passing more difficult. That's fine when he's trying to tempt the guy he's facing into a careless pass, but that's not always the reason.
I don't think the problem is that Rondo doesn't want to play stellar defense. I think he'd be a candidate for DPOY if he would focus more on his defensive play, especially on the ball and man-to-man, and I suspect he'd love that, and I know he wants to help the team. I think it's a case of Rondo being stubborn. Stubborness can be your best friend, but it can be your biggest enemy too. But the biggest negative consequence for the team of Rondo's apparent stubbornness about his defensive play isn't even on the defensive problems of the team overall, in my opinion. Nor is the biggest negative consequence the effect it has on the team's offense, which struggles when it can't get the ball back in transition. I think the most serious effect it has is on Rondo's leadership. It is so important that this team follow Rondo's leadership, both in terms of following his cues, but also in terms of inspiration. A true leader must INSPIRE his team. Does anyone seriously think that watching Rondo slough off on defense inspires anyone?!!
Come on, Rondo! Your teammates won't respond fully to your leadership when they see you taking it easy on the defensive end. There's just no way. It's just human nature that they won't, and really, who can blame them?
This team badly needs Rondo to step up his defense big time, and consistently. That is the one step that could unlock so much progress for this team. You hold the key, Rondo. You've been stubborn long enough. You can't ask others to change when you won't change. Show them!! Change yourself.

I think Lee and the others take their cue from Rondo. Rondo's defense is downright atrocious much of the time. And that play where he lost the pass last night was horrible. He didn't even try to chase down the ball, and instead Pierce had to try to chase down the play. Lazy Rondo is ugly to watch, and there's no way it can be inspiring to the team.
Very true. It's like KG years ago. The leader was KG, and his defense dripped down to everyone. Rondo hasn't embraced that role as of yet. His focus is on the offensive end, and it shows. The Celtics are scoring the ball well.

The scoring IS up some, so that's a good sign. And there definitely are some very very good things we are seeing from Rondo. But it surely has to be obvious to Doc that seeing Rondo getting torched every night, seeing him slough off on D, seeing him fail to chase down loose balls, etc., is not exactly inspiring to the guys he is supposed to lead. STOP BEING SO FREAKING STUBBORN ABOUT THIS RONDO!!!!! Our offense actually depends in part on strong defense, so that we can get into transition and push the pace.

Nobodies fly as this
You crazy, I'm getting brain like a psychiatrist
And Ima Keep fucking this word til ya mothafuckas come for me (ya)
Don't worry if I gotta gun, you should have a gun for me
And all these niggas is killers and all these killers with me
But you should be afraid of me
Cuz Ima kill em

They say powder makes you hyper
Reefer makes you calm
Cigarettes give u cancer
Well wounds make you dull
While I sip the purple harlot
Thick as my Southern drawl
Put me on the ocean floor wit a mermaid wit no draws
They got bats up in the cave
Upside down blood rushing to they head
They reacting off sound as I stand on the mound
Pitchin for the crown
Uptown bound face painted like a clown
Reciting scriptures from the chapters
Proverbs leviticus
Old ass rappers complaining what the business is
'Bout the state of hip
Soundin like some bitches hop your ass up off a rich nigga dick
Its ridiculous the new school nigga
What you need to do is become a resident
Under the condition
Get your ass up off your ass
And get your ass up on a mission
Become some competition
Like Federer and Nadal
Young money nigga we ball
Like Kobe or Chris Paul
For giving a whack cracker
Still sipping Cristal
Wavin the lifeline
Since lifes a bitch y'all
Raising up the skirts of jezzebels
For no cash like
"bitch give me that ass"
Or pulling up to the lot like
"give me that jag"
No pulling up to the lot like
"give me that lam"
They study me, yeah
They cram like im a final exam
If I hit you in your back
You'll need a spinal exam
Im something like a rhino or ram
Irritating you pussies like chlamydia,yeast
YM militia you niggas better retreat
Or be like this beat
R.I.P. deceased
Cuz Ima kill em
Ima kill em
Ya ima kill em
Yes Ima kill em
And ima kill em
Ima kill em
Ima kill ummummu
[Lil Wayne Verse]
Ya already, ya better call every pallbearer in ya area the ball carrier gon' get popped
If I'm coming around the block the in swing drive gets stopped
He gon drop like a flop
On the court I love sports
That's why I play my bitches cause I got game
That's why you pay my bitches (Yaay)
Same hustle no Mannie
Im just hip hoppin like two bunnies
Who run it, bitch nigga moi
That was French, nigga
Not a kiss, nigga nah
Haha No homo, rappers get ate like 4 on 4
They say I fuck so and so
And I be like so, so and so
Nikes on they neck, they like let me breathe
Im sorry but I can't this is how we feed
This is why we hot
This is how we freeze
To fast to follow
This is why we lead
And the money in the pocket isn't why we Gs, see
This is how we shoot and this is how we leave
You know we tote steal, this is how we ease
You can get the steel if you try these thieves now
Pass me the swisher let me climb these trees
And them haters say we couldn't this is why we Bs
This shit like pudding, putting it down like gravitys pulling
Putting it down like gravitys pulling
Putting it down like gravitys pulling me to the ground

History not on Ravens' side as they try to get revenge on Patriots
The Baltimore Ravens have worked hard and admirably persevered through multiple challenges this season to get back to the same position they were in last year: playing at New England in the AFC Championship game. But history says the chances of the outcome being different for Baltimore are abysmal. The Ravens lost a heartbreaker, 23-20, to the Patriots last January, and they'd have to look back at more than 60 years of championship game results to find the last time a team won revenge against the same opponent, after losing the first meeting the year before.
Did you get the historical heft of that statement? The last time a team won being in the exact situation Baltimore finds itself this Sunday was more than six decades ago, when the 1951 Los Angeles Rams beat the Cleveland Browns 24-17 in the NFL title game in L.A., after having lost the 1950 NFL championship 30-28 to the Browns in Cleveland.
It's an astounding trend. The past 11 times teams have met back-to-back in NFL title games, AFL title games or AFC, NFC championships, the same team has won both games. When you throw in the Cowboys-Bills consecutive Super Bowls of 1992-93 (each won by Dallas), it's an 0-12 rematch record for the team losing the first of two back-to-back championship games.
There is just one caveat: If those teams faced off three consecutive years in championship games, the team that lost the first two meetings won the third showdown three times (San Francisco over Dallas in the 1994 NFC title game; Oakland over Pittsburgh in the 1976 AFC title game; and Cleveland over Detroit in the 1954 NFL championship).
So there's hope for Baltimore to beat New England in next season's AFC title game, but not much Sunday night, based on the repeat factor at play in professional football since well before the 1970 merger and even before the seminal 1958 NFL title game between the Colts and Giants -- the overtime classic that is credited with putting the pro game on the map.
Keep in mind as well, even without the rematch factor, the statistical odds don't favor the Ravens. New England is 7-2 all-time in AFC/AFL championships, including a 4-0 record at home. The Ravens, who moved to Baltimore for the 1996 season, are just 1-2 in AFC title games, all of them coming on the road.
Here's the data to back up the sizable task the 12-6 Ravens face against the 13-4 Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro:
* Broncos over Browns, 1986-87 AFC title games -- Denver beat Cleveland twice in a row, the first time in Cleveland (Can you say "The Drive''?) and then in Denver (Earnest Byner fumbles). Adding more salt in the wound, the Broncos and Browns took a year off, then squared off again in the 1989 AFC title game, with Denver winning easily in Denver.
* Steelers over Oilers, 1978-79 AFC title games -- Pittsburgh swept Bum Phillips' Houston Oilers, who never did quite kick that door down in that rivalry with the vaunted Steelers. The first meeting was a 29-point blowout, but in the rematch, a controversial non-touchdown call in the end zone, on a late-third-quarter catch by Houston receiver Mike Renfro, was pivotal in Pittsburgh's 14-point victory.
* Steelers over Raiders, 1974-75 AFC title games -- Oakland used to lose AFL-AFC title games like nobody's business, dropping seven out of its eight appearances in a 10-year span between 1968-1977. They lost close games to the Steelers in 1974-75, but then came back to beat Pittsburgh in 1976, the Raiders' first of three Super Bowl-winning seasons.
* Bills over Chargers, 1964-65 AFL title games -- The Bills might be 0-4 in Super Bowls, but football fans might forget they had a little AFL dynasty going in the mid-60s, going to three consecutive AFL Championship games, and winning the first two, both against the San Diego Chargers. Buffalo beat the Chargers a combined 43-7 in those two games, with quarterback and future U.S. Congressman Jack Kemp leading the way.
* Oilers over Chargers, 1960-61 AFL title games -- In the first two seasons of the newly formed AFL, Houston swept the Chargers, who were based in Los Angeles the first year and San Diego the second. The Oilers peaked early in their franchise history, because between them and the transplanted Titans, they haven't won another league championship since. The only title the Chargers own came with a 1963 AFL Championship game victory over the Boston Patriots.
* Cowboys over Bills, 1992-1993 Super Bowls -- It's the only time in the 46-season history of the Super Bowl that we've had the same pairing in consecutive years, and Dallas won both games handily, giving Buffalo its third and fourth of a record-setting four Super Bowl defeats in a row.
* Cowboys over 49ers, 1992-93 NFC title games -- Dallas versus San Francisco was the game's best rivalry in the first half of the '90s, and Jimmy Johnson's team won a pair of entertaining title games against George Seifert's club. The 49ers, as we noted, did get a measure of revenge in 1994, beating Dallas in their third consecutive NFC title game meeting.
* Cowboys over 49ers, 1970-71 NFC title games -- This was a Dallas-San Francisco rivalry of a different, earlier vintage, when Tom Landry and Dick Nolan coached the two teams, and the quarterbacks were Craig Morton and Roger Staubach for the Cowboys, and the underrated John Brodie for the 49ers. San Francisco couldn't get over the hump against Dallas, losing 17-10 at home in 1970 and 14-3 in Dallas in 1971.
* Packers over Cowboys, 1966-67 NFL title games -- The rematch is the one everyone remembers, the legendary "Ice Bowl'' at Lambeau Field, won in the final seconds by Green Bay on Dec. 31, 1967. Vince Lombardi's Packers won the first two Super Bowls after earning these two wins, and the snakebit Cowboys remained "Next Year's Champions.''
* Packers over Giants, 1961-62 NFL title games -- Lombardi won his first two NFL championships by sweeping the star-studded but title-starved Giants. From 1958-63, New York reached the NFL's final game five out of six years, but lost all five. Green Bay routed the Giants 37-0 in 1961, but squeaked by them 16-7 in the rematch, in frigid conditions at Yankee Stadium.
* Colts over Giants, 1958-59 NFL title games -- Everybody knows the Colts outlasted the Giants 23-17 in overtime in ....wait for it... "The Greatest Game Ever Played.'' But the rivals met again the following year, without anywhere near as much drama occuring in Baltimore's 31-16 victory at home. In the pre-Super Bowl era, those were the only two NFL titles the Baltimore Colts ever earned.
* Lions over Browns, 1952-53 NFL title games -- Detroit and Cleveland met in the NFL championship three years in a row, but the Lions and Hall of Fame quarterback Bobby Layne got the best of the Browns and Hall of Fame quarterback Otto Graham in the first two showdowns, winning 17-7 in Cleveland in 1952 and 17-16 in Detroit in 1953. The Browns got a heap of revenge in 1954, winning 56-10 at home.
* NOTES: In the past nine seasons, only New England (four), Pittsburgh (three) and Indianapolis (two) have won AFC titles. The Ravens can become first team to crack that three-team domination since Oakland in 2002...... No matter who wins in the NFC, San Francisco or Atlanta, there will be a new NFC champion for the 15th consecutive season. The last team to repeat in the NFC were the 1996-97 Packers. Eleven different teams have won the previous 14 NFC championships......
The four coaches working this weekend know their way around the NFL playoffs. Bill Belichick (11 playoff berths in 18 seasons), John Harbaugh (5 in 5 seasons), Mike Smith (4 in 5 seasons) and Jim Harbaugh (2 in 2 seaons) are a combined 28-15 in the postseason, with Belichick's 18-7 record and John Harbaugh's 7-4 mark leading the way..... While the Patriots have played in five of the past 11 Super Bowls, the Ravens are trying to get back for the first time since 2000. The droughts are even longer in the NFC. Atlanta hasn't made a Super Bowl since the 1998 season, and San Francisco last went in 1994.

The 2ndXI finished second in their group after defeat in Wednesday's double-header with Durham
Durham v Lancashire, South Northumberland CC, 13 June
Game 1 - Durham won by 80 runs
Teams: Lancashire; AP Agathangelou*; LN Bentley; J Clark; L Livingstone; OJ Newby; W Chapples; AR Lilley; NS Tahir; SC Kerrigan; A Gowers; A Ghaus.
Durham; P Mustard +; HH Gibbs; BA Stokes; JG Myburgh; DM Benkinstein; MD Stoneman; WR Smith; SG Borthwick; LL Plunkett; ME Claydon; C Rushworth.
Toss: Durham
Durham; 187 - 3 (20 overs); HH Gibbs 41; BA Stokes 69; JG Myburgh 48no.
Lancashire; 107 - 7(20 overs); OJ Newby 47no; LL Plunkett 2-27; ME Claydon 2-18
Report: A young inexperienced Lancashire side played 2 games at South Northumberland CC against two very strong Durham X1's. In the first game Durham played a mostly 1st X1 team including Herschelle Gibbs. Durham batted first and with Gibbs (41), Stokes (69) and Myburgh 48 no made 193 for the loss of 3 wickets. Adnan Ghaus with 1-24 from 4 overs, including the wicket of Gibbs was the best of the Lancashire attack.
In reply, Lancashire's batting struggled to score against the Durham attack and only Oliver Newby with 47no offered resistance in a disappointing 107 for 7.
Game 2 - Durham won by 17 runs
Teams: Lancashire; TE Bailey replaced W Chapples.
Durham; MD Stoneman; JG Myburgh; MJ Richardson; PB Muchall; SG Borthwick; BA Stokes; LL Plunkett; CD Thorp; RS Buckley; J Harrison; SJ Harmison.
Toss: Durham
Durham; 193 - 3 (20 overs); MD Stoneman 33; JG Myburgh 30; PB Muchall 61no; SG Borthwick 31no
Lancashire; 176-7 (20 overs); LN Bentley 63; J Clark 21; L Livingstone 46.
Report: In the second game Durham again batted first and as in the first game the experienced top order batting took the game away from Lancashire. Muchall (61no) and Borthwick (31no) with an unbroken partnership of 108 for the 4th wicket and including 59 from the last 3 overs being particularly punishing on the bowlers.
In reply Lancashire went for the bowling and a 3rd wicket stand of 95 between Louis Bentley ( 63) and Liam Livingstone(46) in only 46 balls gave Lancashire real hope. Their partnership included 7 sixes and 7 fours. When Livingstone was bowled with 4 overs remaining, wickets fell regularly in an effort to win the game. When Kerrigan was caught off the last ball of the game Lancashire were 17 runs short. Against two
very strong Durham sides this young side will have learnt a lot about 20/20 cricket.
Derbyshire v Lancashire, Glossop, 12 June
Game 1 - Derbyshire won by 4 wickets.
Teams: Lancashire; AP Agathangelou; TC Smith; KR Brown; PJ Horton*; J Clark; LA Procter; OJ Newby; NS Tahir; SC Kerrigan; A Gowers+; G Keedy
Derbyshire; C Hughes; W Durstan*; W Madsen; D Redfern; R Whitely; J Clare; D Wainwright; R Navid; T Poynton+; T Groenwald; M Turner.
Toss: Derbyshire.
Lancashire 116-9 (20 overs); KR Brown 28; PJ Horton 28; AP Agatangelou 22.
Derbyshire 119-6 (19.4 overs); W Madsen 33; C Hughes 29; LA Procter 2-15
Report: Derbyshire played their 1st X1 in the first game against a mixed Lancashire team of 1st X1 and 2nd X1 players. In a disappointing innings of 116-9 from their 20 overs, it was Karl Brown (28) and Paul Horton (28) who showed their experience against a strong Derbyshire attack.
Derbyshire faired little better against a very competitive Lancashire fielding side and were indebted to opener Hughes(29) and a patient 33 from Madsen in passing the Lancashire total with only 2 balls remaining. Luke Procter was the best of the Lancashire bowlers with
2-15 from his 4 overs.
Game 2 - Lancashire won by 25 runs.
Teams: Lancashire; LN Bentley and SD Parry replaced PJ Horton and SC Kerrigan. KR Brown captained the side.
Derbyshire: M Lineker; T Hamilton; L Dale; G Park*; P Borrington; P Burgoyne; C Durham +; T Knight; G Cork; J Madsen; A Evans.
Toss: Lancashire.
Lancashire; 147-4 (20 overs); AP Agathangelou 35; KR Brown 64no (40 balls 4x6, 4x4)
Derbyshire; 122-5 (20 overs); T Hamilton 35; M Lineker 49;G Park 27; LA Procter 3-20
Report: In the second match, Derbyshire fielded a completely different eleven. Lancashire batted first and Karl Brown with 64no from 40 balls led Lancashire to a competitive 147 after Andrea Agathangelou (35) had made a positive opening.
In reply the Derbyshire openers Lineker and Hamilton made a run a ball 74 before Hamilton was caught off the bowling of Gary Keedy for 34 with a superb catch on the boundary by Agathangelou. Derbyshire were then stangled by the Lancashire attack who made runs hard to find. Luke Procter with 3-20, Gary Keedy 1-17 and Tom Smith 1 for 20 all from their four overs making sure that the target became impossible. Derbyshire finished on 122-5, leaving Lancashire winners by 25 runs.
Lancashire v Yorkshire, Ormskirk, Wednesday 6 June
Teams: Lancashire - TC Smith; AP Agathangelou; LN Bentley; J Clark; AL Davies+; LS Livingstone; AM Lilley; NS Tahir; SD Parry*; GT Griffiths; OJ Newby.
Yorkshire - AZ Lees; AE Lilley; RM Pyrah; GS Randhawa; JA Leaning; I Wadlow; E Wilson+; JJ Sayers; M Hussain; OJ Hannon-Dalby; MA Ashraf; J Shaw.
Game 1 - Lancashire won by 45 runs
Toss: Yorkshire won the toss and fielded.
Lancashire 134-9(20 overs); AP Agathangelou 25; TC Smith 35;SD Parry 23no.
Yorkshire 89a/o(15.4 overs) GT Griffiths 3-34; OJ Newby 2-15; NS Tahir 2-9; SD Parry 2-21
Report: A first wicket stand of 34 with Andrea Agathangelou (25 from 12 balls) and Tom Smith (35) put Lancashire on top in the early stages. Steady, rather than big hitting saw the home side make 134 from their 20 overs with Stephen Parry (23no from 15 balls) towards the end of the innings providing some impetus.
In reply Yorkshire failed to apply any pressure to the home attack and with an array of rash shots gave the home side some good catching practice. Gavin Griffiths (3-34); Oliver Newby (2-15) Naquash Tahir (2-9); Stephen Parry (2-21) all bowled well leaving Lancashire winners by 45 runs.
Game 2 - Lancashire won by 6 wickets (D/L)
Toss: Yorkshire won the toss and elected to bat.
Yorkshire 125-6 (17 overs) AZ Lees 50;AE Lilley 20
Lancashire 77-4 (7.2 overs) AL Davies 24no; J Clark 18; OJ Newby 15no
Report: Having elected to bat in the 2nd game the two Yorkshire openers Alex Lees (50) and Alex Lilley (20) gave their side a good start with 46 from the first 6 overs. Having reached the 109 in the 16th over for the loss of only 3 wickets Yorkshire were in position to mount an attack in the last 5 overs. Unfortunately rain intervened for 40 minutes and on resumption they had only 10 balls remaing in the innings. Arron Lilley dismissed Lees with the first ball and a further 2 wickets were lost leaving Yorkshire 125 for the loss of 6 wickets after 17 overs.
A further delay for rain, and some D/L calculations, left Lancashire needing 73 runs to win from 8 overs. Agathangelou was out to the 2nd ball of the innings, but Jordan Clark made 18 from 7 balls with 4 fours and Louis Bentley was spectaculaly caught and bowled by Richard Pyrah, before Alex Davies (24no) and Oliver Newby (15 no) saw Lancashire home with 4 balls remaining. Davies finishing the game with
4 and 6 off the first two balls of the last over.
Lancashire v Nottinghamshire, Neston, Tuesday 5th June
Game 1 - Lancashire won by 20 runs
Teams: Lancashire - A. Agathangelou (capt); T Smith; L Bentley; J Clark; A Davies (wkt); L Livingstone; A.Lilley; N Tahir; M Abid; G Griffiths; A Ghaus.
Notts - T Rowe; N Edwards; S Elstone (capt); S Wood; M Weightman; H Azad; B Hutton; A Shafique (wkt); G Bacon; J Ball; S Mullaney.
Toss: Notts won the toss and elected to field.
Lancashire 160 - 6 (20 overs); J Clark 50; L Bentley 44; J Ball 4-29 (4overs)
Nottinghamshire 140 - 9 (20 overs); N Edwards 37; B Hutton 37no; S Wood 30;A Ghaus 2-29; A Lilley 2-21
Report: Having been inserted Lancashire's top order made telling contributions with Jordan Clark (50) and Louis Bentlry (44) leading the way in making 160 for the loss of 6 wickets in their 20 overs. Nottinghamshire in reply struggled against Griffiths and Tahir, and lost 2 wickets in the first 4 overs. Lilley then took 2 wickets in the last over of his spell and with excellent groundfielding and wickets being taken at regular intervals Notts fell well short of their target, ending on 140 for 9 after 20 overs.
Game 2 - Match tied (D/L method)
In the second game Will Chapples replced Tom Smith in the Lancashire side and Steven Mullaney captained the Notts side in place of H Azad.
Toss: Lancashire won the toss and elected to bat.
Lancashire 154-3 (17 overs)J Clark 77no; L Bentley 32; L Livingstone 28no.
Nottinghamshire 82-5 (8 overs); S Mullaney 24;G Griffiths 2-21; 2-16
Report: Having won the toss and electing to bat Lancashire lost both openers with only 5 runs on the board in the second over. Jordan Clark (77no) and Louis Bentley (32) took the score to 64 in the 8th over. Liam Livingstone (28no) joined Clark and before the rain arrived these two had put on 90 for the 4th wicket by the end of the 17th over. Jordan Clark's innings included 6 sixes and 3 fours.
After a long interuption for rain, Notts were left with a revised D/L score of 83 from 8 overs to win the game. With Mullaney leading the way the Notts batters looked to have the game won with 10 required from the last over, especially when the first ball was hit for 6. A dot ball and two singles followed before White was caught and bowled by Clark leaving 2 required to win from the last ball. Wood and Hutton could only manage a single leaving the game tied.

Mon-Sun: 7am-7pm

Burgers, sandwiches, Happy Meals and all things fried and grilled draw families and fans to the world-famous Golden Arches. – In Short
The intoxicating smell of golden fries cooked to crispy perfection and succulent burgers sizzling on the grill permeates the space, while a lively chatting and munching crowd maintains a laidback vibe at this famous fast food haunt. Hungry patrons of all ages and walks of life order classic favorites like the Big Mac, Chicken McNuggets, and the Filet-O-Fish sandwich. As for breakfast (it is the most important meal of the day, after all), this drive-thru king offers both sweet and savory morning meals like the Egg McMuffin and Hotcakes, as well as flavored iced coffees for a much needed java jolt.
McVagrant's – It's just a McDonald's ... and it is just about the only McD's in that downtown area. It's rather nice inside, I just remember that often while going through the drive-thru that homeless people would be sitting there asking for change as you rolled down your window to order. I guess that's what happens with a downtown McDonald's. *shrug*

|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Links to mcvs-1-0-9:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Improved error handling again in a flash of sanity. The whole idea of ``bail'' as a restart is gone. All code which must perform some complex cleanup action does so as part of normal unwinding. And so termination becomes safe. * code/update.lisp (mcvs-update): Change bail restart to continue. * code/mcvs-main.lisp (*global-options*): Remove "error-bail". (*usage*): Remove description of --error-bail. (mcvs-execute): Bind *mcvs-error-treatment* to :terminate rather than :bail if controlling TTY cannot be opened. * code/move.lisp (mcvs-move): Change "Undoing move" error message to "Undoing changes to map". * code/add.lisp (mcvs-add): Get rid of bail restart; move cleanup code into unwind-protect block. * code/error.lisp (*mcvs-error-treatment*): Touch up docstring. (mcvs-error-handler): Remove anything having to do with :bail. Change description of `T' command to suggest that it is safe. * code/options.lisp (filter-mcvs-options): Remove handling of "error-bail" option. * code/mapping.lisp (mapping-update): Get rid of outermost restart-case, which had just a bail restart. Replace it with unwind-protect block which does exactly the same restoration.
Improved error handling. Use of tty for user interaction, plus new global option for selecting non-interactive bail behavior. * code/mcvs-main.lisp (*global-options*): add --error-bail option. (*usage*): Describe new option. (mcvs-execute): Dynamically bind *interactive-error-io* variable to a stream formed by opening the controlling tty. Send error message to *error-output* rather than *standard-output*. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (unix-funcs:ctermid): New function, FFI interface to mcvs_ctermid. * code/unix-bindings/wrap.c (mcvs_ctermid): New function. * code/chatter.lisp (chatter): Chatter now goes to *error-output* rather than *standard-output*. * code/error.lisp (*interactive-error-io*): New special variable, holds stream open to controlling tty. (mcvs-terminate): New function. (mcvs-error-handler): Use *interactive-error-io* to print menu and obtain user input. Support the :bail value of *mcvs-error-treatment* Plus some cosmetic changes. * code/options.lisp (filter-mcvs-options): Support --error-bail option. * code/filt.lisp (mcvs-filt-loop): Bugfix, (read-line t ...) should be (read-line *standard-input* ...) because t stands for *terminal-io* rather than *standard-io*, unlike in the format function! * code/rcs-utils.lisp (rcs-read-token): Read from *standard-input* rather than *terminal-io*.
Slightly redesigned error handling protocol. * code/update.lisp (mcvs-update): Change continue restart to bail. * code/add.lisp (mcvs-add): Likewise. * code/error.lisp (mcvs-error-handler): Specially recognize two additional restart symbols, bail and info. A bail restart performs any rolling back and cleanup and terminates. Continuation is now properly reserved for actions that proceed boldly to finish the job, possibly irretrievably clobbering precious data. The info restart is now a standard way to indicate that more details about the error can be obtained, so this does not have to be represented as a special action with an ad-hoc restart. * code/create.lisp (mcvs-create): Change show restart to info. * code/remap.lisp (mcvs-remap): Change ignore restart to continue. * code/mapping.lisp (mapping-update): Change ignore and do-clobber restarts to continue, and print-clobbers restart to info. Change continue restart to bail.
* code/error.lisp (mcvs-error-handler): Simplify roundabout way of printing error message. * code/mapping.lisp (mapping-write): Incorporate the low level error message into the more informative error message.
Error messages no longer specify prefixes like "mcvs:" or "mcvs-remove:". When no restarts are available, the error handler now adds the "mcvs:" prefix when dumping the error text to the standard error stream, and also adds a terminating newline. The inability to write to the MAP file is converted to a more informative error message. New --debug option is supported to set the chatter level to 3.
* find-bind.lisp: New file. (find-bind-extract-vals): New function. (find-bind): New macro. * error.lisp (restart-destructure): Macro removed. (mcvs-error-handler): Uses generic find-bind instead of restart-destructure.
* error.lisp (mcvs-error-handler): Bugfix. We were closing over a binding of the iteration variable of a dolist, which has only one binding over the entire loop. * mapping.lisp (mapping-update): Gathers up info all local clobbered files, and then throw the error. Provides restart which allows user to print the list of clobbered files, and a restart which allows the user to have those files clobbered. * checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout-wrapper): Bugfix for last bugfix.
Wording change; don't say termination is graceful when it's not clear what that means.
* error.lisp (mcvs-error-handler): Rearranging the menu, so "T" is clumped with the main options, and any special restarts are clearly separated.
* error.lisp (*mcvs-errors-occured-p*): New special variable. (mcvs-error-handler): Set *mcvs-errors-occured-p* to T. * mcvs-main.lisp (mcvs): Take *mcvs-errors-occured-p* into account in computing termination status.
Remove spurious argument from chatter-terse call.
Adding some restarts around cvs update. * posix.lisp (execute-command-xargs): Bail with nil return value if any command line fails. * update.lisp (mcvs-update): Tests return value of execute-program and signal condition if it's nil. Provides a continue restart as well as a retry restart to try the command again. * error.lisp (mcvs-error-handler): Show retry restarts as a special menu item "R".
Added a much improved error handling routine in anticipation of better use of restarts. * error.lisp: New file (restart-destructure): New macro. (*mcvs-error-treatment*): Special variable, moved here from mcvs-main. (mcvs-error-handler): New function. * mcvs-main.lisp (mcvs-top-error-handler): Function removed. (mcvs-execute): Bind error to new mcvs-error-handler instad of mcvs-top-error-handler.

You'd have to have an IQ under fifty to pay $360 for 90 lbs. worth of dumbbells.
Is the convenience of dialing in a weight instead of just sliding the weight onto the bar really worth overpaying by $300?
Yeah, if you and anyone else buys these, that would be your dumbbell pair.
