Game Thread Sounds! Press play NOW!
Wiz' huge upset of the Chunder
Ball movement, interior presence and shot selection. We need so desperately for STAT and Melo to establish a paint presence and play from the inside > out.
As we saw in the recent Nets game in an instance where STAT was posted with Melo on the arc, this is when our big 3 is most potent. Perhaps you recall?
We can't afford for Melo to have another off night, we just can't, and the solution is to manifest some precognitive plays. I am sick of hearing myself say it with no results.
Stopping Wall in transition.

A look at the Wizard's recent OT game against Toronto.
Lin is pitted against another great point guard in John Wall.
Will he hang Wall's head on his wall? He'll be exhausted.
Assuming that STAT plays, will the 2 work as a tandem?
The Wizards will have a night off to recover from their OT battle against Toronto, just as our lads have a night off to recover from the wear and tear of playing irregularly long minutes.
The Washington back-court of Wall and Young could well be a big problem for this team, and if Chandler gets in to early foul trouble I doubt that Jefferies will have the stamina to take as many charges as he has in the last 2 games.

Knicks by 9
Signature created by AmareforPresident
Knicks will obviously win this one cause Washington are even worse than the Knicks (which is quite anachievement).
I've been through the bad times when Isiah was our GM and the first two season under Walsh/D'Antoni when we had to get contracts off the books, but at no point have I ever been so sick of a Knicks time like I am now and the last couple of weeks.....
I really hate to see those guys play, I hate to see their faces. I can't exactly say why, maybe it's because we've signed two losers on $100 million contracts each, to lead this franchise, maybe it'S because of the coaching style making them look like bitches, I don't know, but what I know is that I'm ****ing sick of them.
During the Isiah days there were atleast a few guys on the team I liked, like David Lee, Channing Frye, Nate Robinson, Wilson Chandler etc.
I can't relate with anybody on the current roster....I have the utmost respect for Tyson Chandler, he's been great for us so far and I admire that, but I almost need to throw up when I watch Anthony, Stoudemire, Douglas, Walker, Jeffries and Shumpert play.
I also don't like the way some of these guys come across, acting like hard man, talking bull**** on TV or on Twitter, but playing like bitches (yes you Amar'e). They're not champions, Justin Tuck is a champion - they're just overpaid celebrities (yes you Melo).
I hate this roster, atleast Z-Bo didn't have a reality show or Crawford wasn't talking championship all the time when we were losing under Isiah.
Losing is ok, but what I absolutely detest is rrunning your mouth while losing, losers simply don't have the right to run their mouth.
For the first time in 6 consecutive years of subscription, I'm really regretting my League Pass subsription this year.
Maybe I'm not a true Knicks fan anymore, I dunno, all I can say is well done to the current roster for completely destroying my desire for the Knicks.
Not even Isiah and his (mostly terrible) rosters have achieved that.
I just can't stand those losers Stoudemire and Anthony anymore, getting hyped like champions - they're nothing!
The Giants are champions, these two are just chumps.
Don't take this personal folks, it's not towards you, it's towards Stoudemire and Anthony and management and the coaching staff.
Those are my feelings and I had to let them out, this season has been the worst for me in 14 years as an active Knick fan.
Thanks for the reminder I need to get 3 tix for the game while they are cheap. I am saving a seat for my boy Shizzee
is Baron Davis playing in this game?
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
He better be Paul it is about 20 days from now!!!!
I thought the same thing I was pissed , would not be able to go if it was this week.
I know man, it'S kinda weird - I admit that.
I still consider myself a fan, o doubt about that bro, but I can't relate with the players on the current roster.
Normally you support your players and like the guys and cheer them on, you know that man, but this season I'm just kinda bored/annoyed when watching these guys play....they really lack something imo.
It's not Melo'S and Anare's fault that they were given $100 million contracts, I just don't like they way they're acting off the court. This is a personal issue I think, 99% of the fans don't have an issue with it, I have.
Maybe it's because when I was a kid and you were bragging about something and not backing it up or talking like a winner, but ended up losing you got an incredible amount of heat and basically didn't want to leave home for a week or so....so my attitude is: When you talk championship/winning/beeing great you better back it up or you're just a ****ing idiot who needs to be clapped back.
That's how I treat people in real life (no violence), but when somebody talks **** in my face and doesn't back it up he better get outta my sight, cause they no longer exist for me.
That's why I can't stand Lebron, Melo, Stoudemire and a few others. They pretend to be champions and talk like champions, but they haven't won anything yet.
On the other hand you have guys like Tim Duncan who have more rings on one hand than the others guy combined, but he doesn't come out twice a week and talk **** about winning (although he could). He doesn't need a reality show on TV to celebrate himself.....he's just getting the damn thing done.
If Melo and STAT had already won a championship, they could talk all day, because they wouldn't owe us and themselves, but right now they owe everything and haven't won anything.
I need a new hero on the Knicks man, Tyson Chandler might be the guy. He pretty much embodies all the attributes a sports hero must stand for in my oppinion.
But one Chandler ain't enough, we need more dogs and less puppys and Melo and STAT really need to toughen up mentally, they don't need to be hard on the court like Rodman or Laimbeer, getting physical, but they need to get as tough mentally as Tyson Chandler, they must prepare themselves to do EVERYTHING necessaryto win. Right now all I can see are lucklaster approaches by our two highest paid and therefore most important players.
I always 'loved' the Justin Tucks, Michael Strahans, Ray Lewis's, Ed Reeds or in basketball terms: The Allen Iversons, Latrell Sprewells, Larry Johnsons, John Starks's etc.
I think you get the point.
With the way John Wall is playing and how Lin had him taking notice, the Harvard Schooler may go for a triple double!!!

2004 Ford Taurus Wagon SE 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
I bought my 2004 Taurus wagon used 2 years ago . I get 28mpg on highway. No major problem over the past 2 years. In addition to trip odometer, the dash also shows mpg and miles to empty fuel. I found those very useful. Traction control and ABS added peace of mind. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.
This car has been the best car I have ever owned. Cold Air, Safe comfortable ride, good gas mileage. At 100,000 miles I had to put a new serpentine belt on it, along with a starter, but that is all so far. We use it every day for whatever we need. We are still happy with this car. So stable it saved us from a rollover on a rainy night, when we missed a turn, and had to make a sharp turn at 60 miles per hour. This is a super car. Going strong at 120,000
Safe, reliable, runs good
Make doors easier to shut
We really enjoy this car. Bought it used 18 months ago, the transmission did need rebuilt after we owned it for 1 year with only 66,000 miles on it, but we got a great initial price on the vehicle. Runs great on the road and handles much better than the MiniVan it replaced. Good gas mileage 23 on highway with family of 5 and car topper.
3rd seat.
Wish they still made it.
Bought my 2003 Taurus wagon SE used from a dealer in NC. It was originally a rental with 6000 miles on the OD. It has performed very well and has required no more maintenance than that required at regular service intervals. It handles well, and has good acceleration. Plenty of room in the cargo area. The only two bad things to say is, 1) the panel material above the rear door arm rests has come loose and required repair, and 2) the luggage rack bumpers on the roof all have a small separation crack of approximately 1/8 inch, about mid-length on each one. It gets good gas mileage and is fairly comfortable on long trips. It is a very reliable vehicle and great for a family of four.
Power adjustable pedals and power driver seat.
Interior door material above arm rests should be made of same material on the rest of the interior of the door.
This SE wagon has the Duratec engine and is very strong. It has several upgrades, such as power seat, pedals, windows, CD, etc. It has been both a work and family vehicle, and I have been most impressed with it. It has plenty of power, room, and I can haul anything and everything in it or on top of it. (roof racks). I travel MUCH with my job and have placed 65K miles on this in 1.5 yrs. NO SERVICE PROBLEMS! It is comfortable considering that I ride up to 5-6 hours at a time. Style is a little "basic", but certainly fine. The only negative that I see is depreciation. Value drops FAST from NEW status. Excellent used car buy. I have had several "used" and for the money, they cannot be beat.
210 HP Duratec engine. Not your "fathers" station wagon! This pup will run!
2004 did not come standard with the 3rd row seat, as did the earlier models. The 3rd seat should have been standard. Why have a wagon and not have the extra seat? I purchased the seat and added it myself.

Hooking up one room with 5 tvs and a modem, splitting signal. Help!
Ok so I have five HDTVs and a modem to hook up in a single room from one incoming cable line. 3 of the tvs have their own cable box and two i plug the coax cable directly in the tv. I also have another cable box in a different room that runs from this same place. Right now I have the main line coming in and going straight to a cable company provided amplifier. The amp then runs to a six way splitter. In the six way splitter I have the modem, and the 3 boxes in the room plugged into 4 of the legs. The fifth leg has one of the direct to tv lines in it. And the sixth leg runs to a antronix cmcdt2106t digital tap with the drop and out legs running to the other direct to tv hookup and the other box in the seperate room. I'm sorry if this is confusing, I know a little bit about tech, but I'm a bit out of my league here maybe. Am I splitting this signal the best way? Is it safe? At other ideas? Thanks

Are you having any issues? If the modem is getting adequate signal, and the TV images aren't showing signs of signal loss (picture break-up / freeze / audio drops, etc.), then it's fine, just leave it as it is...

As jautor says, if it works don't mess with it. But for what it's worth, you're generally better off using one big splitter like you have than cascading multiple layers of splitters. Multiple layers are not as efficient and have more connections to go bad. If you need more feeds, you can get splitters with more than 6 taps, and ones that have amplifiers built in.

I do get occasional pixelation and drops. I do have a pct 8 way amplified splitter. Right now the six way splitter I'm using is -10db per leg. The 8 way I have is +4.5db per leg. Would it be better to use the 8 way and just cap off the one leg I won't use? Should i just unhook the other amp and splitter and use the 8 way amp split, or keep the other amp and hook the 8 way split amp into that?

I would remove the cable company amp and the 6-way splitter and try the amplified 8-way instead. Don't put the 8-way after the cable co amp, it'll almost certainly over-amp the signal. And put 75-ohm caps on the ports you're not using.

Just replaced the cable company amp and splitter with the 8 way amplified splitter. I guess I'll wait and see now...Internet from the modem already seems to be getting better speeds...

The Rich Are Not Like You And Me: Foreclosing in the Hamptons and Goldman Sachs' City Windfall
It's not just through wedding photos that we learn that the rich and powerful are just like us: they get foreclosed on as well! You know the Post had to go with the "LIFE'S A BEACH!" headline for its story on how banks are getting ready to foreclose on 120 borrowers in East Hampton and Southampton. Twenty percent of those homes are worth more than a million dollars! This allows readers to enjoy a nice cup of Monday-morning schadenfreude, as the paper shows us the stately manors that are way behind in mortgage payments. Socialites, real-estate moguls and executives are feeling the credit crunch and are either selling their homes or are on their way to foreclosure. See, the rich are just like us….
Or maybe they're not. The Daily News has an exclusive investigative piece on a potential $300 million-plus windfall investment bank Goldman Sachs may have coming its way thanks to the slowdown of development at Ground Zero.
In 2005, then-Gov. George Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg made a deal with the investment bank that if the Port Authority didn't finish much of the development of Ground Zero by next year, the state would pay huge penalties to Goldman Sachs. (The firm is building its new headquarters near the Ground Zero site.)
The $321 million is in escrow. It consists of $161 million in lease payments for the state land the bank is building its headquarters on and another $160 million in sales tax payments. If the Port Authority doesn't finish certain transportation projects by the end of 2009, the money reverts back to Goldman Sachs. (The projects are already several years behind schedule.) Another provision of the sweetheart deal was that a security plan for the area needed to be completed by 2010, which may be impossible because the structures that are to benefit from said security plan have yet to be built.
The city claims it's on track with the security plan and that the two sides are still negotiating. Goldman Sachs is the country's richest investment firm with $11.6 billion dollars in profit last year.

I went down to St. James Infirmary, Saw my baby there, Stretched out on a long white table, So cold, so sweet, so bare. Let her go, let her go, God bless her, Wherever she may be, She can look this wide world over, But she'll never find a sweet man like me.

Hi Robert,
that's a nice lick to have in one's repertoire! Actually it doesn't sound especially Hendrixish to me, but it certainly nails Billy Gibbons's trademark lick in the intro of "Gimme All Your Lovin'"...
Hey Robert,
Could you pls tell me when the Em Blues lesson is available.
Excellent lesson in funk rhythm Robert - thanksYou did not mention that this Prince-style technique requires a purple shirt 🙂
I am actually rating you on your constant and determined desire to simplify what you can to help your students. You are the best! Being left handed you don't know how thrilled I was to see your new flip option for lefties. Thanks!
Hi Robert; in the 3rd example1st measure I am counting an extra 8th beat at the end, am I wrong?
Yes I believe you are counting wrong.
Sound Slice is the best instructional I have ever seen!Thank You Robert for your expertise !
Another great lesson. Thanks for all you do...really appreciated. Happy new guitar day. WOW!!! A beauty. Been droolin' over a D'Angelico myself. Can't wait for your review on your new axe.
Great lesson - as always. Easy learning.
Robert, all of your triad lessons are excellent and very useful. This particular lesson is fantastic! Your demonstration of the triad shapes for each note of the C Major scale on different strings across the fretboard has definitely helped both my playing and my understanding of the guitar. The chord shapes are very cool and relatively easy to find and move around the fretboard. I am also following your suggestion of improvising little licks and melodies from the scale while playing the triads. I love this lesson and am now transposing these shapes to other major keys. Thank you again!
Very special,,,!
Very nicely done. Increased my understanding of triads and chord voicings 100%.
Great Method !
Hi Robert
You are by far the best Teacher out there. Your playing is incredible. I was wondering if you have any lessons on Frank Marino's style. Also I can't find where to pick up some tabs on your site to go with the lessons. Thanks for everything.
Robert, i get so much from your lessons. thank you very much and God Bless You Brother. I will be purchasing some lessons very soon!
Thanks Jeff!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. What an outstanding lesson. I wish I had this one and the Blues Booster lessons years ago!!!
Wishing I had 7 STARS for this marathon, it is exactly THIS broader, deeper knowledge that sets you apart & you keep on giving.
Sincerely hope your recovery is speedy, look after yourself, we need you !
Thanks once again Robert, warm regards from Melbourne, Australia.
Another excellent lesson and demonstration of how the blues should be played, from the best blues teacher (in my opinion) around!
Robert, I forgot my password.
Great lesson Bob! Very useful and easy to follow. Could I get the Bass Tab for the lesson please?
Thanks so much.

Lovin' It! -- Nice job on a blues classic. If I didnt have a tin ear, I think I could pick it up on the tones alone...alas...any advice on training the ear? Thanks!
Ear training - make it part of your practice time to sing along to melodies, licks, solos, etc. The more you do this, the better your ear will become.
Now I understand why you do not post tab all the time, I picked this lesson up by ear. And its awesome! your so cool man.
I love all your lessons and this slow 60 blues is a great package from rhythm to solos that helps me to put it all together in better understanding the blues. I prefer purchasing the package as I have little time to learn as I work so much so joining the membership is not so useful for me as much as the downloads are.
Thank You for all your dedicated work and lessons,
P.S. Would like to learn that turnaround in the SRV style triplet chord tone lick.
Hey Robert, Nice lick! Reminds me of a lick Scott Henderson uses; that is, starting off by stacking 5ths. Can't wait to sit down and get it under my fingers.
excellent way of teaching , cool lick ,thanks Robert
Excellent lesson Robert, and I agree, it definitely has a Gary Moore sound to it.
Please do more of this kind of thing.
Thank You
Wow, this is great Robert - you are very talented. Say - do I need to know my scales to play this successfully?
Alan G.
No, but it never hurts to know your scales! In fact, this lick can HELP you learn your scales. I certainly hope so.
Cool lick! Smooth sound…
Happy Birthday Robert!
Thank you Jody!
Thank you so much for the lick.It is just what I'm looking for! Keep those great lessons comming!
Thanks so much

Supreme Court: State workers don't get double pay
MONTPELIER The Vermont Supreme Court has denied 63 state workers who wanted double pay for working while displaced from their offices following Tropical Storm Irene.
The court affirmed an August 2013 decision from the Vermont Labor Relations Board, ruling that the workers werent entitled to extra money because the emergency situation was technically over a day after the storm.
The Vermont State Employees Association, which represents state workers, had appealed the board decision to the state Supreme Court last July.
Flooding from the storm nearly three years ago closed the state complex in Waterbury and the Department of Motor Vehicles office in Rutland. Employees were forced to work from home or in other makeshift locations.
The employees argued their contract entitled them to double pay, but the state Labor Board and the Vermont Supreme Court on Friday disagreed.
Demolition and site work has been underway for months for construction of a new state office complex that will replace the series of buildings in Waterbury that became unusable after the flooding. The $125 million project includes a new 86,000-square-foot office building, a 20,000-square-foot central plant and the renovation of 13 buildings that were on the site before the flood.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2015, and the building become home to about 900 employees of the Agency of Human Services.MORE IN This Just InDUXBURY Harwood Union High School is preparing a life celebration for five students who were...

UPDATE: Our Entering Freshman Scholarship Application is now live! Please click the link below.
Entering Freshmen
Applicants in their senior year of high school can apply for Texas Exes scholarships using our online scholarship application. The application will be available in early September. The deadline to apply is December 1 of the applicant's senior year of high school. Applicants can apply even if they have not yet been admitted to The University of Texas at Austin. The deadline is December 1.
All applicants will automatically be considered for the Chapter and Named Scholarships for which they qualify—no further action is needed. In order to apply for the Forty Acres Scholars Program, applicants must click the "Apply" button and complete an additional essay.
Please note: Consideration for scholarships administered by the Texas Exes is a separate process from the ApplyTexas admission application. Completing the ApplyTexas application does not automatically qualify a student to be considered for Texas Exes scholarships. There is not an option to apply for Texas Exes scholarships on the ApplyTexas application. The Texas Exes online scholarship application must be completed. Any correspondence regarding admission to The University of Texas at Austin should be directed to the Office of Admissions. Students must fill out our separate application in order to be considered for Texas Exes scholarships.
Current UT and Transfer Students
Current full-time undergraduate and graduate students at The University of Texas at Austin and prospective transfer students can apply for Texas Exes scholarships using our online scholarship application. The application will be available in early December, and the deadline to apply is March 1 every year. Do NOT complete an application prior to early December, or you will not be eligible for scholarships.
Award Notifications
Please note that December-June is scholarship season, and the response time of the Texas Exes scholarship staff may be slow. During this time, we are not allowed to comment on the status of an application. Recipients are chosen by the Texas Exes scholarship selection committees each spring. Only students receiving scholarships will be notified. Most students selected to receive a Texas Exes scholarship will be notified throughout the month of April and May.
Finalists for the Forty Acres Scholars Program will be announced in late January.
Award Amounts
Most Named and Chapter Scholarships are based on earnings from investment of the endowed funds, so amounts vary from year to year. Awards range from $500 to $10,000, with most one-time scholarships falling within the $1,000-$2,000 range.

Father Who Planned To Abuse His Children BEFORE THEIR BIRTH WITH MOTHER'S APPROVAL Gets Two Life Sentences
Let's just call these people what they are: Evil.
The former Marine convicted of sexually abusing his two children will spend the rest of his life behind bars, after receiving two life sentences in Florida court today.
…During the trial it was revealed that Adleta started planning to abuse his children before they were born, telling his pregnant girlfriend Sarah Adleta, 29, that he would only marry her if she allowed him to have 'daddy-daughter sex' with their child.
…The abuse started when their daughter was born in March 2009, and the two were married the following year. They went on to have a son together, and the parents sexually abused both children.
Soon after getting married, the two broke up but the abuse continued over Skype and with visits to Adleta in OKlahoma where he already had a new girlfriend.
Girlfriend Samanatha Bryant, 23, had a daughter and she let Adleta abuse her as well.
Both women testified during Adleta's trial, shedding light on the gruesome abuse.
During that trip to Oklahoma in December 2012, Sarah let her ex-husband abuse her daughter in his bedroom while she watched.
The toddler 'seemed very resistant and 'really upset' the mother testified, leading her ex-husband to suggest she find another man for the child to have sex with so she wouldn't be 'freaking out' in the future.
The Adletas horrifying and despicable sexual abuse of their own children was only uncovered when FBI were tipped off when the mother sent naked pictures of herself and the toddlers to a man in North Carolina.
The mother performed sex acts on her children so the man could watch, according to testimony she gave the court this week.
Sarah Adleta was sentenced to 54 years in prison in October for abusing her children. The Adleta children have since been put up for adoption.
Adleta's girlfriend Bryant faced seperate charges herself, and was found guilty on two counts of lewd molestation. She was sentenced to consecutive 15- and 30-year sentences.
All three of the amoral sociopaths deserve the death penalty for what they did. Spending the rest of their lives in prison is too good for them.

Schapiro wants a self-funding SEC
Daily news headlines
WASHINGTON, DC - US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Mary Schapiro has commented she believes the regulator should evolve into an industry-funded body, departing from its government-funded roots.
Such a move, which Schapiro recommended in an interview to UK newspaper the Financial Times, would shift the federal regulator more along the lines of Schapiro's former charge before she took over at the SEC - independent investment industry body the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Schapiro said moving to a direct model for industry support would allow the SEC to tackle more complex investigations, and invest more in technology and talent to provide better results.
The SEC already takes more than $1 billion a year directly from regulated organisations and investors through registration and transaction fees, but unlike the other federal regulatory bodies is constrained by requiring congressional approval for spending this money through its annual budget.
Schapiro's logic is that the constraints of that system make it tough for the SEC to invest in technological projects, long-term staff investment or multi-year investigations because its strategy is wedded to a short-sighted annual basis.
"Self-funding has been discussed over the years but I think it might now well be the moment," said Schapiro. "Some stability in funding would be an enormous benefit because it would help with long-term planning in such areas as technology and staffing."
A move to self-funding would appeal to many, as the US myriad of regulators compete for their budgets as well as responsibilities under the reform proposals of the Obama administration.
Many financial regulators already operate on such a model. The UK Financial Services Authority (FSA), for example, has been independently funded since its 2000 inception - although it has also been accused of regulatory failure and been compelled to intensify its supervision and enforcement in recent months.
"Self-funding will help us to avoid periods of drought," said Schapiro. "Think about what the markets were doing in terms of growth and innovation at the same time the SEC was in a hiring freeze."

A review of Criterion's new box set of Guillermo del Toro films.
If for no other reason, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" deserves credit for providing the takeaway dialogue line of the year: "Nessie? You named my baby after the Loch Ness Monster?" Since the infant has been named Renesmee, what mother would so mistake her infant's nickname?
There are other laughs as this fifth and finally final installment grinds to a conclusion, but "Breaking Dawn, Part 2" must be one of the more serious entries in any major movie franchise. I suspect its audience, which takes these films very seriously indeed, will drink deeply of its blood. The sensational closing sequence cannot be accused of leaving a single loophole, not even some we didn't know were there.
This movie begins right after "Part 1" ended, and indeed director Bill Condon shot the films back to back. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) awakens after giving birth to little Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy), the half-human, half-vampire daughter who was fathered by — but let's not get into that. Having now been fully transformed into a vampire to prevent her death in childbirth, Bella also has been miraculously transformed into a much more interesting character, physically superb and emotionally uninhibited.
We see the new Bella in an entertaining sequence when her husband, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), takes her on a test drive, so to speak, as a vampire. She can run from place to place instantaneously, see details of nature in great and speeded-up detail, win in hand-to-paw combat with a mountain lion and has a taste for blood. That point is made in a scene when she and Edward see a mountain climber slip and dangle from his rope. In a flash, she's climbing the mountain barehanded, and my hopelessly idealistic assumption is that she was racing to save his life. Not precisely.
Edward shows Bella their new honeymoon cottage, which unlike most brides, she decides is "perfect" even before looking inside. When she does, it's stocked with wall to wall books, and you'll never guess which one she eventually takes down from its shelf. Never ever.
Edward and Bella spend a great deal of time posed around a living room with such as Jacob (Taylor Lautner), Emmett (Kellan Lutz), and a roll call of other major vampires (the movie ends with photo credits for every actor in the series). They exchange a great deal more dialogue than I required, but students of the Stephenie Meyer novels, who made this 700-page-plus volume a best-seller, really like that stuff, I guess.
The depiction of little Renesmee is rather curious. I learn that special effects were modeled on the actress to age her, and sometimes she looks a little curious to me. Also to her grandfather, Charlie Swan (Billy Burke), who observes, "My, how you've grown! You must be six inches taller!" And so she seems, although by my reckoning, it happened between Thanksgiving and Christmas. A human child like that, you take to see a specialist.
All leads up to a fraught climax between the Washington State vampires and the leaders, an Italian-based group named the Volturi, presented with some of the same trappings as an order of monks. They seem to be in charge of the vampire world, and are concerned that their secrets will get out now that a half-breed has been born among them. They're led by Aro (Michael Sheen), who even among top vampires, has an impressive presence. A few hundred Volturi square off against several dozen international vampires across a vast snowy plain, while one of the vampires says, "The redcoats are coming!" Well, he can be forgiven his mistake; he fought in earlier British invasions.
Look, the "Twilight" series is not my thing. As I wrote of "Twilight" (2008), "It's about a teenage boy trying to practice abstinence, and how, in the heat of the moment, it's really, really hard. And about a girl who wants to go all the way with him and doesn't care what might happen. He's so beautiful she would do anything for him. She is the embodiment of the sentiment, 'I'd die for you.' She is, like many adolescents, a thanatophile."
I have now seen something like 10 hours about these vampires as they progress through immortality, and I'd rather see either version of "Nosferatu" that many times. I must admit if you're going to bring the series to a close, "Part 2" does it about as well as it can be done. It must be hard for Summit Entertainment to drop the final curtain on a series that has grossed billions, but it bit the bullet, and I imagine fans will be pleased.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Pudge's contract turned into worst-case scenario
by Mike Berardino
FORT LAUDERDALE—Lenny Harris has seen Cooperstown-level catching greatness up close before.
When he was with the Mets' 2000 pennant winner, Harris lockered next to Mike Piazza and marveled at his ability to dial up the intensity. Baseball's career pinch-hits leader got the same sort of feeling last season dressing next to Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez in the Marlins clubhouse.
"Pudge is a special player," said Harris, who joined the club in August. "Just like Piazza, he really gets focused for a game, gets locked in. It's just the intensity those guys have when that bell rings."
The great Don Mattingly would stand in front of his locker in those final moments before Yankees games, silently swinging a bat, letting his teammates know it was time to get serious. The way Harris sees it, Rodriguez carries the same sort of inspirational heft.
Especially after leading the upstart Marlins through an unlikely run to the World Series title.
"Thirty minutes before the game, Pudge gets stretched out and goes down to the cage and hits," Harris said. "It's like watching Ray Lewis play a football game. That's how this guy prepares himself to play a ballgame. It's tough to find that anywhere."
Welcome To Detroit
Crazy as it sounds, Rodriguez will be found displaying that intensity for at least the next two years (and possibly four) in Detroit, of all places.
The Tigers—the lowly, 119-loss Tigers—were the only ones willing to meet the catcher's demands for a four-year, $40 million contract, even if they weighed it down with more escape hatches than a Hollywood prenup.
If the catcher misses at least five weeks with a lumbar spine injury in either of the next two seasons, for instance, the contract can be voided after he's made just $15 million. Break a wrist and he's golden, but don't mess with the back, man.
You can say Rodriguez left for the money, but team sources say the Marlins' final offer way back on Dec. 7 actually guaranteed the catcher more cash than the deal he eventually signed with the Tigers.
The Marlins, who were contractually prohibited from offering Rodriguez arbitration, apparently offered him two years and $16 million with a vesting option that could have pushed the total value to $24 million.
Factor in Michigan's 4 percent state income tax—Florida has none—and the Marlins' guarantee was $1.6 million (or 11 percent) richer.
Rodriguez disputes those numbers. After signing with the Tigers and getting ripped in the South Florida media, he called a press conference at his opulent Miami Beach home to give his side of the story.
"I just asked them for something fair for my family, for myself and for the club," he said. "They offered me $6.5 million a year for the next two seasons, and the way they wanted to pay me the money, I don't think that was fair."
With heavy and lengthy deferments, the Marlins' offer, according to Rodriguez, would have wound up totaling closer to $10 million in net present value. That's not much more than the $9.32 million in NPV they paid to rent Rodriguez for just the 2003 season.
"I feel a little disappointed because I thought they would have treated me a little better," Rodriguez said. "I would have felt much happier if they told me, 'Listen, we can't afford you. You can't be with us,' and probably I walk out very happy. The way they did all these negotiations for me was a little tough."
Not saying Rodriguez was having a hard time letting go, but he said this three days after signing with the Tigers and nearly two full months after cutting ties with the Marlins.
Countered Marlins president David Samson: "We wish him the best success in Detroit and hope that his two-year guaranteed contract turns into four."
Plenty Of Pride
Simply put, this parting was all about pride. On both sides.
And neither Rodriguez nor the Marlins is better for the experience.
Instead of playing another couple of years at home, taking his kids to school and building on a burgeoning local legend, Rodriguez must spend his Aprils in freezing temperatures, trying to survive as a righthanded hitter at cavernous Comerica Park.
Instead of overpaying slightly and going along with their catcher's understandable resistance to a pay cut, the Marlins will try to defend their title with Mike Redmond and Ramon Castro behind the plate.
Call it a lose-lose negotiation.
Surely there have been quickie divorces that have ended more messily than this one, but Britney Spears and Jason Allen Alexander appear almost dignified by comparison.
"I love Pudge," one Marlins official said. "The guy is a heck of a player. He helped us win a championship. But man, what an ego."
Now might be a good time to get out your pocket schedules and circle June 11-13. We can hardly wait for the Marlins to make that interleague visit to Detroit so the mud can start flying again.

Artifact Cider Project is a micro-cidery started by two best friends - Jake, a farmer, and Soham, a scientist - and brought to life by tremendous help from our community. Years ago, we discovered what cider could be: dry, complex, and refreshing. Since then, we've explored far and wide, running numerous experiments, reading entire libraries, and diving hands first into local agriculture.
We call Springfield, Massachusetts home, in a small, humble facility we gutted and rebuilt nail by nail at Gasoline Alley in the winter of 2013. We were ecstatic to launch our first cider in June of 2014 and inspired by the support we have received since.
This is just the beginning of our adventure. There are miles left to dig, countless artifacts to discover, and we couldn't be more excited about what is to come next.
Welcome to the Project. Artifact is yours, as much as it is ours.
Our project is to revive, reinvent, and reintroduce American craft cider.
We try our best to keep these in stock year round.
New World
Our signature contemporary American cider. New World is crafted with care to inspire the spirit of adventure and discovery in us all.
Wild Thing
Juicy, tart, and complex, this sessionable cider is designed to complement the unpredictable nature of wild fermentation.
Our take on the tiredest sub-genre of mass market ciders. This "honey" cider is bone-dry, refreshingly tart, and full of unexpected twists.
The Heritage Series
The Heritage Series is an ongoing collection of limited edition ciders that bridge the past to the present.
This is cider with a sense of place - cider with a purpose.
Our homage to the sleepy little town of Colrain. Heirloom apples from West County Cider's Catamount Hill Orchard are combined w/ spice & maple syrup harvested from adjacent maple trees.
The Friendship Series
The Friendship Series is an ongoing collection of small-batch, inventive, collaborative ciders.
High Hops
This Galaxy dry-hopped collab is a celebration of the awesome hop culture emerging in Massachusetts. It's a big, hoppy, juice bomb overflowing with notes of ripe peach and grapefruit.
Made with our friend:
Matthew Steinberg
High Horse Brewing

Is it me or what? This world has become a noisy place.
I don't remember being so disturbed by noise in years past. Everywhere I go, there is noise. Many restaurants have music blasting so that one can't even have a decent conversation. Never mind television; the commercials are not only stupid but loud, many of the sitcoms are loud with a lot of carrying on. Some movies have background music or sounds that you can't even hear what the actors are saying. No, I don't have a hearing problem, and yes, I can turn the volume off on the television.
Recently, I was weeding out a lot of paperwork that I kept over the years and found this article. The paper was yellow with age, and I don't remember why I saved it. It must have spoke to the time I saved it, so what else is new?
Desiderata (Latin: Something desired)
"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become bitter or vain, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, graceful surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."
Dated 1692, from the wall of Old St. Paul's Church in Baltimore.
Think about the date on this article. No cars, planes, or sirens and yet the writer was obsessed with noise. We all have become so used to it that we don't even hear some of it.
One of the college writing courses I took dealt with the five senses. We were to get up in the wee hours of the morning and write about our hearing sense. It was amazing. Everyone in the household was sound asleep, and yet I heard so many things that I wouldn't have normally heard. For example: The hot water heater in the basement was rumbling, my husband was snoring, one of the children had a coughing spell, the wind outside was making the big oak tree creak and acorns were dropping on the roof. I heard the toilet flush in the upstairs bathroom, the house itself creaked, the grandfather clock was ticking and gonged 3 a.m., one of the cats knew I was up so came into the room and meowed.
All noise, but sometimes we don't hear a thing. As I write this, I hear someone outside using a blower, I hear a siren in the distance, a plane just went over, the tap, tap of my keyboard, the furnace just turned on, a dog is barking and so it goes.
You've all heard the expression "silence is golden." We need more of it in our daily lives.
In the Bible there is a verse that says something like going into the closet to pray. I think that means that in a closet we block out most of the noises of the world so we can communicate with our creator. We can hear the still small voice of God that comes from within us. It also meant to not be pompous and let other people know you think you are so pious, but do your praying where no one will see you.
So no matter what the times are that we live in, we do need silence in our lives. Silence is a time to reflect and get our wits in order.

A major volcanic eruption in Indonesia shrouded a large swath of the country's most heavily populated island in ash on Friday, triggering the evacuation of more than 100,000 people and the closure of three international airports after killing two people.
The explosive overnight eruption of Java island's Mount Kelud could be heard up to 200 kilometers (125 miles) away, Indonesia's disaster agency said.
The ash cloud reached 30 kilometers (18 miles) into the atmosphere and fell to earth in towns and cities across the region, including Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city, and even farther afield in Yogyakarta, where motorists switched on headlights in daylight.
Kediri, a normally bustling town about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the mountain, was largely deserted as residents stayed indoors to avoid the choking ash.
"The smell of sulphur and ash hung so thickly in the air that breathing was painful," said Kediri resident Insaf Wibowo.

Some residents were shoveling the ash and grit into sacks to use for the construction of buildings or to fertilise crops. One collector said that middlemen had already told him they would pay up to $56 for a small truck filled with the debris.
Two people were killed when the roofs of their homes collapsed under the weight of the ash and volcanic debris unleashed during the eruption, the disaster agency said.
International airports in Yogyakarta, Solo and Surabaya were closed due to reduced visibility and the dangers posed to aircraft engines by ash, Transport Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan said. Virgin Australia said it had canceled all its Friday flights to Bali, Phuket, Christmas Island and Cocos Island because of the eruption.
The disaster agency said tremors were still wracking the volcano, but that scientists didn't expect another major eruption. It said all villages within 10 kilometers (6 miles) of Kelud — more than 100,000 people — had been evacuated to temporary shelters, but that elsewhere villagers had returned to their homes to begin cleaning up.
The 1,731-meter-high (5,680-foot-high) Mount Kelud in eastern Java — Indonesia's most densely populated island and home to more than half of the country's 240 million people — has been rumbling for several weeks and was under close observation.
Muhammad Hendrasto, head of Indonesia's volcano monitoring agency, said the mountain erupted violently about 90 minutes after authorities raised its alert status to the highest level. The disaster agency said it had spewed millions of cubic meters of debris into the atmosphere.
Kelud is among about 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia. The archipelagic nation is prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes because of its location on the so-called "Ring of Fire" — a series of fault lines stretching from the Western Hemisphere through Japan and Southeast Asia.
Due to the fertile volcanic soil and the shortage of space on Java, hundreds of thousands of people live close to active volcanoes. They are used to the rumblings, but their proximity to the peaks presents difficulties for authorities.
The last major eruption at Kelud was in 1990, when it kicked out searing fumes and lava that killed more than 30 people and injured hundreds. In 1919, a powerful explosion that reportedly could be heard hundreds of kilometers away killed at least 5,160 people.
Earlier this month, Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra province erupted as authorities were allowing thousands of villagers who had been evacuated to return to its slopes, killing 16 people. Sinabung has been erupting for four months, forcing the evacuation of more than 30,000 people.

Villarreal has returned to haunt Manchester United as they walk out of Old Trafford with a goalless draw in their opening Champions League group game.
The much awaited return of United's prodigal son, Cristiano Ronaldo, was delayed till second half and he did not disappoint the fans with his 25 minute cameo. He looked a bit rusty but he managed to bring hope to the United fans who gave him a such rousing welcome that searched in vain for a red carpet. His immediate signature step-over move showed he meant business.
After the match, Sir Alex Ferguson insisted that there were plenty of positives to take from United's performance against Villarreal on Wednesday night, even though the Reds failed to find the back of the net.
"I think we played some good football," he commented.
"The lads expressed themselves and enjoyed themselves and played with a great deal of commitment. Considering three or four players were playing their first real game of the season I think we can take heart from that performance. We were unlucky not to win it."
Earlier, Sir Alex Ferguson picked a completely different team from the last Anfield disaster and made six changes to the side, including surprise selection of young Jonny Evans, in place of Nemanja Vidic who is ruled out of the next match against Chelsea.
United dominated the first half with a performance of verve, commitment, and less grandeur as their waves of attack failed to breach the Villarreal defence who held their own with hard work and some luck.
Ji-Sung Park, Nani and Darren Fletcher made most of the opportunity provided to them by some scintillating display of skills.
The energetic Park was excellent with his incursions and should have been rewarded with two penalties which were surprisingly turned down by German referee W. Stark.
First, Sebastien Eguren stood on the Korean's foot in the box and then Joan Capdevila mistimed a challenge and brought him down.
Nani, meanwhile, was at his best on the flanks , sort of Cristiano Ronaldo Mini-me. He caused regular alarm down Villarreal's left flank with his runs and crosses. His dipping shot from out of the box was fumbled badly by Villarreal 'keeper Diego Lopez.
At the centre of it all stood Fletcher. United's leading goal scorer this season, displayed maturity with a sense of purpose, drive and penetration for his team. He kept the midfield ticking over sweetly with deft passes and switching the plays quickly without fuss.
The 20-year-old Northern Irishman Jonny Evans was making his second start in the Champions League. He combined with Ferdinand in forming a barrier that Villarreal rarely threatened. Evans almost headed United home off Ronaldo's deflection to Nani's cross in the dying moments.
Forwards Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney combined well and displayed great skill and maturity but were unable to find the back of the net. Ronaldo made an exquisite pass to Rooney who, in turn, fed the Argentine striker, who saw his effort cleared off the line by industrious Gonzalo Rodriguez.
Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini's ambition seemed to be to stonewall United by keeping his players almost exclusively behind the ball. This was more than understandable.
The Chilean coach appreciated that a point at the home of European champions would represent an outstanding start to this Group E campaign.
Villarreal fashioned the best move of the match and almost took the lead after 59 minutes when Franco flicked Angel Lopez's cross against the post with United keeper Edwin van der Sar beaten.
Overall, it was a disappointing stale home draw for United but the positives drawn from the game were immense as United seemed to have gained back their lost swagger and confidence, in addition to Ronaldo's much awaited return.

Clongowes Wood College is a seven-day boarding school located in beautiful surroundings, twenty miles from Dublin in the heart of Co. Kildare. We are a home from home for four hundred and fifty pupils from all four provinces of Ireland and abroad.
Clongowes is a Jesuit Catholic school that strives to support students in their growth towards a greater understanding and awareness of their faith and the part that this plays in their lives. Our primary objective is to provide an environment where students not only learn more about spirituality and the Christian faith, but also try to integrate their own spirituality into daily living.
For 200 years Clongowes has been producing an open, happy, stimulating, mutually respectful community in which young people are able to develop the full range of their talents and abilities in a balanced, integrated and generous way. A key characteristic of Jesuit Education, 'cura personalis' (care of the person), is at the centre of all that we do.
In attempting to cater for all students, Clongowes provides a great variety of experiences that support our students in developing their faith by creating an atmosphere of openness, acceptance and a willingness to search.
Pursuit of excellence
The pursuit of excellence is a core objective and the school seeks to maximise the development of each student's capabilities in academic and co-curricular areas. While learning is paramount, the classroom is only one component of a unique living and learning culture. Great care is taken to identify and encourage the direction most suited to each student's individual and personal development. Various study facilities are available during formal study time and include private study rooms for the senior years, supervised group study, peer tutoring, assisted learning, group project work, library and computer access.
Pupils with special needs are assisted by experienced and qualified teachers and also through peer tutoring as well as a whole host of other facilities. Many opportunities are provided for pupils to develop academically as well as in co-curricular areas such as sports, music, drama, debating, mathematical modelling (in conjunction with the University of Limerick), farming and others.
Strategic planning
Clongowes has a reputation as a provider of top class educational and boarding facilities to enable it to fulfil its aim of building a living and learning community. Strategic planning under the direction of the Board of Management has produced an exciting plan for the future, which is currently being implemented. Over recent years Clongowes has made significant investment in refurbishments and new facilities. These include a new library, computer lab, university standard science labs and new art facilities. A brand new Sports Complex complements the existing all weather, floodlit pitch.
As well as being one of the leading schools in Ireland Clongowes is also one of the oldest having been established in 1814. Historically, Clongowes has educated many pupils who have gone on to play important roles in Irish political, economic, social, sporting and literary life. Students are regularly reminded that privilege carries responsibilities and that each boy has an obligation to strive for the betterment of society.

Week 1 of the college football season reminded us that handicapping games with point spreads is a difficult proposition. Oklahoma dominated Louisiana Tech as a 33.5-point favorite, looking the part of a hefty chalk in all four quarters. Then, with the starters long departed, the Bulldogs scored a meaningless touchdown with roughly a half-minute remaining.
This end-zone trip pushed the final score to 48-16, and like that, Louisiana Tech secured a cover against the Sooners' backups' backups' backups. The tickets that looked so promising for so long were sent to the wastebaskets.
The season had returned.
After a .500-ish debut our picks against the spread in Week 1, we're turning our focus to Week 2. We have a new AP poll, which will be used to outline the teams being targeted, along with a few fabulous matchups.
Oregon and Michigan State, we welcome you with open arms and full koozies.
The only difference this week, however, is games featuring Top 25 teams taking on FCS opponents—which includes Florida State, Texas A&M, Baylor, LSU and others—will not be picked. At the time this post was being crafted, there were no point spreads available for these matchups. (Don't blame the sportsbooks; blame these dreadful early schedules.)
As for those that are being handicapped, here are the Week 2 picks.

Thankfully, Baylor junior guard LaceDarius Dunn will be remaining in green and gold next year, deciding to return for his senior season with the Bears.
By passing on the 2010 NBA Draft (Dunn's teammate, Ekpe Udoh, is a first round lock and is likely lottery-bound), head coach Scott Drew and the rest of the Baylor nation can breathe a sigh of relief.
Dunn will not only be a senior force and leader for next year's squad, but he'll also absolutely be NBA-bound come the conclusion of next season.
Let's now take a quick look at five reasons why Dunn's decision to remain at Baylor next season is a smart choice for all parties involved…
