The Five Best Moments in Celtics Draft History
By Benjamin Altsher ,
Drafting Basketball Jesus certainly has to be among the greatest moves in NBA history, even if the Celtics did have to do it a year before he left Indiana State.
However, when you're talking about maybe the greatest franchise in pro basketball, even the drafting of Larry Bird doesn't rank as the organization's best move.
We all know draft day isn't just about the draft itself and the picks, it's also a prime time in the off season to execute trades and make your team better.
Bird may go down as the best Celtic draft pick of all time, but as you'll see from this list, Boston's draft history is a lot more than just the Hick from French Lick.
For many other franchises, either of these two players would represent their top overall draft pick.
For the Celtics, they barely make the cut.
It was too hard to leave one of the team's top three all-time leading scorers off this list.
In Havlicek's case, he was drafted right as the franchise was in the middle of its unprecedented run of eight straight NBA titles. He later went on to be the key man on two other titles in '68 and '69. Later on, he became the veteran cornerstone to two other championship teams in the 70s.
Paul Pierce wasn't supposed to be drafted by the Celtics. After losing out on Tim Duncan the year before, Boston couldn't afford to make a mistake in 1998.
Pierce wasn't supposed to drop as low as the 10th overall pick. Since then, he's used that as his primary motivation to become one of the best small forwards of his generation.
He's not the Celtics all-time leading scorer, rebounder, or shotblocker. He probably doesn't even make the cut on the all-time team.
Regardless, the Celtic franchise has always been based on big men which is why the drafting of Florida State's Cowens ranks number four on the list.
After the departure of Bill Russell, there was a void in the middle of the Boston defense. Cowens filled it after being drafted fourth overall in 1970, leading the C's to another pair of titles in 1974 and 1976.
This may be cheating a little bit because the Kevin Garnett trade wasn't actually made on draft day. However, the seeds were definitely sown back on June 28, 2007.
After yet another lottery disappointment, Boston ended up with the fifth overall pick.
In a desperate move to save their franchise from another rebuilding effort, Boston traded away Jeff Green, Wally Sczerbiak and Delonte West for Ray Allen and Glen Davis.
A short while later Danny Ainge would trade away nearly half his roster and a pair of draft picks for Kevin Garnett. You know the story from there, a new Big Three, a 17th banner, and another period of greatness for the Celtics franchise.
As I said in the introduction to this slide show, he's probably the greatest draft pick in the history of the Celtics. He's the team's all-time leading scorer and maybe its most recognizable face.
Following a Rookie of the Year performance, Bird led a reformed powerhouse to the NBA title in 1981.
Along with Robert Parish and Kevin McHale, Bird and the Celtics would combine for two more titles in '84 and '86.
If this list were solely about draft picks, there's no doubt Bird would be tops. However, when it comes to the Boston Celtics, it's all about history.
These are just two of the legends that the Celtics acquired in 1956. This was the draft that turned around the fortunes of the franchise. 1956 is the cornerstone on which the Celtic Dynasty and legacy was built.
For starters, Red Auerbach selected local talent Tom Heinsohn out of Holy Cross. Then picked the supremely talented K.C Jones from the University of San Francisco.
The coup de gras, however, was Auerbach's stunning trade of Ed McCauley and Cliff Hagan to the then-rival St. Louis Hawks in return for the draft rights to Bill Russell.
Together, the trio would lead Boston to 11 NBA titles in 13 seasons, a stretch of dominance that has never been, nor likely to be matched. Three Hall of Famer's and the beginning of an NBA dynasty make 1956 a draft unlike any other.

Los Angeles Lakers: 8 Ways for the Team's Front Office To Preserve the Dynasty
By Pat Mixon ,
The Los Angeles Lakers have been to three-straight NBA Finals since Pau Gasol joined Kobe Bryant in LA. This pairing ushered in a new run for the Lakers that continues this playoffs as LA seeks a three-peat.
But with the ups and downs of this past regular season, as well as an unimpressive start to the playoffs and the first-round matchup versus the New Orleans Hornets, many Lakers fans feel that something must be done by Lakers management to preserve this current LA dynasty.
So, what are the key moves the Lakers front office can make to keep LA an elite team?
Here are the eight main ways the Lakers can preserve their current dynasty.
As long as Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol are healthy and remain Lakers, they will only know one offense in LA: The Triangle.
So, that means the way to keep this dynasty rolling is to hire the one coach who knows this offense, and that is former UC Santa Barbara star, NBA vet and Lakers assistant coach, Brian Shaw.
If Phil Jackson actually retires at the end of this season (I'm pretty sure he will, but you never know), Shaw is the logical replacement for the Lakers.
Look for Lakers management to make the right move; you'll see Shaw walking the sidelines next season.
World-renowned NBA training guru Tim Grover won acclaim for his work with Michael Jordan, but it was Grover's time with Kobe Bryant and a rehabbing Dwyane Wade that made him a legend.
He's the man that could beef up and "mean up" Pau Gasol, and a stronger, more aggressive Gasol only improves the Lakers' front line.
With a team full of aging stars (Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher, etc.) there isn't much upside left in LA outside of young center Andrew Bynum.
But Gasol doesn't have the miles or the wear and tear on his body like the others (he only played a few playoff games before his arrival in LA). The Spaniard can actually get better by becoming stronger and more aggressive.
And Grover is the man to help him do that.
If Matt Barnes can get healthy after his in-season knee surgery (he's not healthy right now, and it shows when he's on the court during these playoffs), he can gain more minutes next season, benefiting both the team and Ron Artest.
Ron Ron is another aging star on the Lakers' roster, and his minutes should be reduced during the regular season.
Reduced minutes will leave players like Artest fresher for the playoffs, when it really matters.
I know it's nearly sacrilegious to even suggest that Derek Fisher shouldn't start, but the time has come. He's so valuable to the team at the end of games and in the playoffs that LA needs to limit D-Fish's regular-season minutes.
Steve Blake should start and take the bulk of the regular-season minutes; an aging Fisher can still shine when it matters most—at the end of games and in the postseason.
The Lakers have gotten nothing from backup center Theo Ratliff (injured this year). And, while LA has the three-headed monster of Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, the team still needs a quality backup.
They lost D.J. Mbenga this past year, and his absence has actually been noticeable.
One of the top offseason priorities is to sign a quality backup, even for the veteran minimum.
If healthy, Andrew Bynum is the future in LA. Now there's that big "if."
Let's assume he will remain uninjured. We've already seen the damage he can do in the paint.
And with an aging Kobe Bryant, LA has every reason to get Bynum more touches. The Lakers can remain on top if they pound the paint, and that begins with Bynum.
It's disappointing, but it's a fact: Kobe Bryant won't play forever, and there are some serious miles on those tires.
The key to keeping him on court is reducing his minutes, especially in the regular season. If the Lakers accomplish this, they can count on Kobe to be Kobe in the playoffs.
That's because a healthy and fresh Bryant, even at age 33 next season, can still be an elite player. Michael Jordan won his last title at age 35, so there is no reason to think that Bryant, with reduced minutes and a game already adapted to his changing body, can't be effective and keep LA at the top.
That said, the Lakers need to sign a high-caliber 2-guard or small forward who can create his own shot (someone like O.J. Mayo), spell Bryant and reduce his minutes.
With Luke Walton becoming a free agent, the Lakers might have some cap space for a quality vet, or they could use an exemption to bring in a backup for Bryant.
I'll leave that to the Laker front office.
With a potential lockout looming and a reduction in the NBA's salary cap nearly guaranteed, the Lakers will have little room to maneuver and change their lineup by adding free agents.
And, with Kobe Bryant and company aging, the best move is to do nothing.
That's right—if it ain't broke, don't fix it, especially if the Lakers can three-peat.
If they don't, all bets are off, but look for the Lakers to stand pat if they manage to win another NBA title this June.

Achieving Food and Nutrition Security in Ethiopia
Findings from the CARE learning tour to Ethiopia
CARE started working in Ethiopia in 1984 in response to severe drought and famine that devastated the population and claimed the lives of nearly one million people. Since then, the organization's activities have expanded to address the root causes of poverty and vulnerability.
As part of CARE Ethiopia's development of a focused and long-term program approach to poverty, the office targets three groups of people:
While conditions have improved since a catastrophic drought struck this region in 2011, acute malnutrition rates remain high and millions still teeter on the brink of food insecurity.
"I want girls to know there are people out there like me who will fight against early marriage." — Melka from Libo Kemkem, Ethiopia on standing up against forced marriage.
Findings from the CARE learning tour to Ethiopia
A handbook for aid practitioners and policymakers in disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and poverty reduction
CARE currently works in 11 countries in East and Central Africa (ECA), implementing long-term programs to fight poverty, respond to humanitarian emergencies, and advocate for policy change to improve the lives of the poorest populations.
Not every marriage lasts forever, but early marriage has lifelong consequences for girls. By forcing a child into premature adulthood, early marriage thwarts her chances at education, endangers her health and cuts short her personal growth and development.

We got this as a Christmas gift for our 2 & 4 year old boys. They love it and I like that it's easy for my 2 year old to handle. My only two issues with this toy are: 1). The cars require a lot of vigorous shaking to go 2 rounds around the track, as a result my 2 year old can't make them go more than a few inches far and rarely do they make a whole round 2). The blocking gate at the starting point does not stay up. You have to shake the cars and line them up behind the gate but the gate won't stay up for more than a second or two, no matter how hard we pull it back. My husband tried to fix it from below the track but he says the holders keep slipping out from the lock below. So that does take away from the fun. I hope Fisher Price can help us replace this one part of the toy because it's quite a bummer and makes it hard for a child to race the two cars because one always takes off before the other without a stopper. But other than these 2 issues it's a really fun toy even for a toddler & without the blocker problem i do recommend it.

My son loves the Cars shake and go cars. He had played with a shake and go track at a friends, so when I saw this, I thought he would love it. We opened it Christmas morning to find that one of the cars did not work. We figured this wasn't a huge problem since we had several other cars but the problem is the other Cars shake and go cars are too big to use on the track!!! They are just slightly bigger than the space allows. Why on earth would you make them slightly bigger??? So, we had to wait a week to receive our replacement car before we could use the track. He has also already broken one of the side pieces by leaning on it. The part that holds the side pieces on is very flimsy and even super glue won't glue it back. I think you should either make the track bigger to accomodate all shake and go cars OR make all the cars slightly smaller.

Shake 'n Dissappointment
By thaQueen
from KY
My son received this for Christmas. It was really easy to put together, however the cars only go sporadically. The Francesco car rarely goes and must be shaken much more than the Lightning car. Also the starting gate will not stay up. Also, another Shake 'n Go car (purchased separately) is too big for the track. Wished I had read these reviews before purchasing.

so disappointed
By rdnckangel
from plumas lake, ca
My son picked this out for his birthday. So when he got it he wanted it put together right away. Heres my problems, the pieces dont stay together, cars dont fit on track and really you have to shake the cars alot to get them to go around the track atleast once? Im still trying to get my son to understand this. I really feel like i wasted my money. He uses die cast cars on it more than he does the cars it came with or the mater/finn he also got. Very disappointed

Not smiling at the moment
By SmilingMom
from Portland, OR
We got this for our son for Christmas, and we had trouble with every part of it. The Francesco car never would GO when you push the button to release the starting gate. McQueen goes SOMETIMES, but it's unpredictable. And the starting gate won't stay down for more than a second, so by the time my son's shaken both cars, the starting gate's down, and he's trying to push it up again so he can get them going. I called & replacements are "on the way" but the track is being used for other things until they arrive. I guess once it's all working properly it will hold his interest, but right now, it's being used for small cars he's manually pushing around on the track.

No problems so far! The more you shake it the longer it goes.....now just getting him to shake it for longer than a 1/2 minute is the key! smile I plan on getting other shake and go cars for him....you do need to place this on a really flat surface I notice that it works the best on the table. Hope this helps
dont waste your money
By abcdefg
The cars do not have enough pep to get around the track, if you are lucky they go a quarter of the way. My son was very excited to receive this gift only to play with it for about 1 minute. We tried two sets of batteries and there was no improvement in the cars. We are very dissapointed.
Great Gift
By jennymarie
My 3 year old son received this as a birthday gift this past weekend. He LOVES it! It was farely easy to assemble and we have no complaints at all. Nothing has fallen apart and the cars work great! It holds his attention for sure.. It's the only thing he has wanted to play with since!
BIrthday gift gone bad
By Mommyofanthony
from Sunnyvale, Ca
My son just got this for his 3rd birthday over this past weekend. I just put it together for him last night and the thing wont even stay together. Part of the race track wont even stay together or more less doesnt match up right to say the least, so the cars cant even race right. When they do go they just fly off the track. My son loves cars and he was so thrilled to get this as a gift and now he doesnt even want to play with it because of this problem. I cant take it back to the store due to it was given to him from a family member out of town...So now my questions is what do i do with this toy that doesnt even work right. Also I agree with the other post one of the cars doesnt want to work properly.....so disappointed in this product. I have never had any problems with fisher price before.

It's even in clarinets, for crying out loud. If headphones had been used a thousand years ago they would have been wood. Holua are made of wood, and they sound good…really good.

Please visit the Wiki and read the FAQ if you are new to Wicca or this subreddit before you post!
Wicca is a modern neopagan religion that is based on ancient pagan beliefs. It's an earth-based religion that traditionally believes in a God and Goddess as representative of a greater pantheistic godhead.
Wicca views the spiritual and material worlds as overlapping: the gods are not distant beings but entities whose presence we can experience. This religion stresses personal experience with divinity and developing greater harmony with the larger world. Wiccans view the universe as the product of complementary opposites in a system roughly akin to the Chinese concept of yin and yang.
Wicca includes a system of ethics and teaches that we all are ultimately responsible for our own actions. We believe in gods. We believe in magic. We believe in multiple realities. We practice alone, or in groups. We practice witchcraft.

Wall to Wall
Home is any four walls that enclose the right person.
- Helen Rowland
Walls enclose us, exclude us
Keep us in, keep us out
Give testimony, bear witness
I was here.
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!
- Langston Hughes
Celebration at the fall of the Berlin Wall, Germany
"There are four kinds of people in the world…
Those who build walls.
Those who protect walls.
Those who breach walls.
And those who tear down walls.
Much of life is discovering who you are.
― P.S. Baber, Cassie Draws the Universe
"OK" indicates that landmines have been cleared
One of the most ancient forms of folk art is the handprint, a decorative mark that
I have photographed on walls in many parts of the world. In this house the
wood-panelled walls are covered with a series of roughly applied impressions of family members' handprints.
Walls are the publishers of the poor.
- Eduardo Galeano
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls …
- Paul Simon
Every wall is a door.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
…Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't
love a wall …
- Robert Frost
A world without walls is the only sustainable world. . . .
If the world is dominated by people who believe that their races,
their religions, their ethnic differences are the most important factors,
then a huge number of people will perish in this century.

I like the way of photography of mccurry
Some of these are film as can been seen from the context and year they were taken and some are digital. Either way, a master of his craft.
Hi Steve. Your photos are great as always. But is that a Sony digital camera you're holding at the Great Wall? I've always been under the (unconfirmed) impression that you shot film.
I keep seeing photos from you with hand prints on walls. Do you have enough for a series of them? They are great as always from you. Anyway, I always look forward to seeing these collections.
Mr. McCurry – Every now and then.. something or someone comes up who gives you a new lease of life.. a new perspective on your being.. encourages you to do more.. to want more.. You.. are that fresh leash of life to me.. i am amazed at what you see and how you bring it to us.. Raw n Pure.. I would like to thank you for this endeavor and hope that there are many more to come.. and yeah.. great to finally see u in ur pic Cheers!!

so beautiful and emotive, there is extraordinary beauty in the everyday things around us and you capture it every time, thank you
"…And first of all, put down the walls you built around your heart.
Even if you built them to protect yourself against the pain of loss a loved one,
they are useless…
At the end, they are still walls and don´t allow the love to come in again
Instead be courageous…"

Critics say White House set up Malden girl's query
As we always like to point out: There are no coincidences in Obama world.
Michelle Malkin, a conservative columnist on a question asked by Julia Hall, 11, at a town hall Tuesday in Portsmouth, N.H.
A 100 percent flat denial, completely.
Manning Hall, responding to accusations that her daughter was used as a plant by the Obama administration.
The question an 11-year-old girl from Malden posed to President Obama this week has riled conservative critics who insist the girl was a plant by the White House.
The critics point to campaign donations and other partisan affiliations of the girl�s mother, Kathleen Manning Hall, who was an early Obama supporter. But a White House spokesman insisted yesterday that audience members had been selected randomly.
�The president asks people to raise their hands and picks on them,�� White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said at his daily briefing.
The girl, sixth-grader Julia Hall, asked Obama what she and other children should make of the signs outside his town hall meeting in Portsmouth, N.H., that were �saying mean things�� about his health care proposal.
�How do kids know what is true, and why do people want a new system that can, that help more of us?��
In her online column, conservative columnist Michelle Malkin said, �As we always like to point out: There are no coincidences in Obama world.��
The Washington Times also weighed in, and online critics found a 2008 post by Manning Hall on Blue Mass Group, a Democrat-learning political site in Massachusetts. In the post, Manning Hall asks readers for their support in her quest to become a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.
�I realized Barack Obama was a unique politician the first time I heard him speak, at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, where I was a volunteer,�� she wrote. �I was simply blown away by his inspirational message, and I continued to follow his career.��
Manning Hall denied yesterday that her daughter was used as a plant by the administration.
�A 100 percent flat denial, completely,�� she said, adding that her daughter had told her before Obama began fielding questions that she wanted to ask one. The two discussed the question, Manning Hall said, and her daughter wrote it down on a slip of paper.
Manning Hall also said that prior to 2008, she had never worked in politics, beyond contacting her city councilor about local street repairs and other issues.
She has said that she had worked as a coordinator during the campaign for Massachusetts Women for Obama. The group had 93 members and raised nearly $9,000 during the campaign, according to online records.
Manning Hall was named Malden Democrat of the Year at a ceremony in March. She donated $1,750 to the Obama campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign contributions.
She is listed as a legal assistant at Looney & Grossman, a Boston law firm. Employees of the firm donated $3,000 to the Obama campaign, according to the center.
Tarah Donoghue, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Massachusetts, declined to comment on the allegations that Manning Hall�s daughter was a plant.
But she took exception to news reports of �angry mobs�� protesting against Obama�s health care plan at town hall meetings across the country.
�They�re American people,�� Donoghue said. �And they�re citizens rising up against a change they quite frankly don�t believe in. We encourage people to do it in a respectful manner.��
On the beat

Killing MI is a no brainer
Original post made by Aaron on Jan 2, 2007
Their aims are 100% self-serving. They want something "special" for THEIR kids that is designed to exclude 95%. The program would erode the diversity of neighborhood schools.
MI makes sense for PRIVATE but not PUBLIC school. Don't be fooled - implementing MI itself CREATES inequities. The "open" lottery will be fair ONLY in the sense that a small group of selfish parents will jump at the chance to "gain an advantage" by removing their kids from the general population.
Yes, this group of selfish parents will all have an "equal chance" of getting their kids selected. The rest of us, however, would pass quietly on the glorious chance to have our kids abandon our neighborhood schools.
Let's see "gain advantage by removing kids from the general population"...sounds like THE selling point for private education. What's that? If we jam this down the throats of PAUSD, we can get this for FREE - what could be better?
MI supporters will not like being called selfish and will likely attack this post. Just to be clear - I am not opposed to "being selfish" - selfish behavior drives innovation and makes America great; it just has no place in the PUBLIC school system.
The Board needs to kill MI and get back to dealing with issues that serve all 100% of our kids. This is a no brainer.

Ask the sexpert: how contraception can affect your sex drive
Getty Images
Hi Siski,
Me and my partner's sexual relationship used to be amazing, foreplay, positions, always something different. It was really exciting we couldn't wait to just pounce each other. However she decided to get the implant as contraception and about a month after this it's never been the same.
All of her turn on points have become untouchable as now she says they just tickle her more than anything but to the point that it cannot be done anymore. Due to this there is absolutely no foreplay as she's just too ticklish for me to touch. So it's now just straightforward sex which still isn't straightforward ever since the implant we always have to use lubrication and it is also painful for her at the start so it's been missionary position for a 7-8 months now.
We've been working on it so we can get back into our old habits of different positions but were just getting no results. And on top of this her period is extremely irregular some months she won't have one and others shell have multiple. It's been hard for us these past months and we would just really like to know what we can do to maybe enhance things or whether these are just some bizarre side effect of her implant?
Siski Green
Siski says: Jamie, I think it's great that you're willing to ask for help with this rather than just hoping it resolves itself or burying your head in the sand! I am not a doctor or a medical professional, so I would strongly recommend seeing your GP or family planning clinic practitioner about this. It does sound very much as though it could be down to the implant. Hormones, whether in pill, implant or injection form, can affect not only whether and how a woman is aroused, but also how easily she gets lubricated when aroused. The only implant that's available in the UK right now, as far as I'm aware, contains progestogen, which can cause irregular menstrual bleeding. The hormones progesterone, testosterone, and oestrogen are all involved in a woman's arousal, and adding more of one can upset the balance and as a result, a woman's menstrual cycle as well as her libido. Although it's rare, lack of sexual desire is another potential side effect of taking progestogen.
So the first thing to do would be to go to your nearest family planning clinic and see what your other options are. You might assume that the hormones given are the same whatever form they come in, but some women find that one contraceptive pill gives them side effects while another doesn't. It may be that using an oral contraceptive pill, with a different chemical make-up to the implant, will help solve the problem. Discuss this with your family planning practitioner who can give you more details.
In the meantime, continue to use lubrication as you have been doing and try to reassure yourselves that this is most likely an issue with the implant rather than with your relationship.
If you have a sex or relationship dilemma, email your questions to Siski at firstname.lastname@example.com

This is what they told me after sending the wrong bouquet, half withered flowers on the wrong day,
"I understand what you are saying but I have to follow all company policies under all circumstances, it was explained to you that this may happen and you had agreed to this before placing your order with us, if you had read this and was worried you may not get what you had ordered then you should have called us or emailed us so we can check for you."
Stay far away from this company, they've written me 3 times with excuses all I requested was a refund for their mistake.

Started in 1950 with an initial $13 investment, Volt has grown to an international corporation thousands strong, publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and listed on the Fortune 1000, with annual revenues exceeding $2 billion.

Exclusive Lunch Report: M. K. Davis
Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 28th, 2009
You won't believe what Cryptomundo has discovered about M. K. Davis! Amazing images support our claims.
Okay, you thought I was going to check-in at noon and keep going on about Bigfoot massacres and such things forever, I bet.
Nope, I thought I'd lighten this up and report on a real-life strange coincidence: "M. K. Davis" is an eating joint in San Antonio, Texas, known for its rather "Bigfoot" portions.
Dave Stone, on his Silver Creek blog (Silver Creek is a neighborhood in San Antonio), actually has a recent posting entitled "Lunch Report: M.K. Davis on North Flores and Poplar."
It's not about Bigfooter M. K. Davis exploring new hominoid finds from Flores Island of Homo floresiensis ("Flores Man"; nicknamed Hobbit). Not at all.
Dave points out that "M.K. Davis Restaurant and Bar has been around since 1956," and is well-known for its "1/3 pound cheese burger" and "huge 32 ounce schooner."
Now as far as conspiracy theories go, I don't even want to think about how San Antonio was ground-zero for the funding for 1950s' Yeti research and critical to the beginnings of the first expeditions into the Bluff Creek area in search of Bigfoot. This was all thanks to the sponsorship of Tom Slick and his friends living in San Antonio. Slick even used as one of his early covers to get entry into Nepal, the San Antonio Zoological Society.
What if records indicate someday that the early planning sessions of those Slick expeditions happened at that new restaurant in the 1950s, just right down the street, M. K. Davis?
How bizarre would that be?

Swans | Article
Swans' Songs Not since Morticia Frump married Gomez Addams have two people been so perfectly matched in their dark sensibilities as M. Gira and Jarboe. Currently working solo together (I'll explain in a minute), they usually make up the shadowy core of gloom-rock heroes know as the Swans.A decade or so ago, Tina Jarboe left her native Atlanta for New York City, where she encountered head Swan Michael Gira (this was in the days before they started calling themselves by their abbreviated names). Gira, sensing that Jarboe shared his decaying-beauty aesthetic, put her in the band but for the longest time wouldn't let her contribute more than an occasional co-written song. Over time, he released his control over the band enough to let Jarboe serve as the perfect counterpoint to his God-drunk, hellfire fantasies of glory and horror, with her very feminine sense of body and self, with all of the sensuality and claustrophobia which that sometime entails.
In 1990, the pair took a break from the Swans with a side project known as The World of Skin. Five years later, they have produced a matching pair of solo albums that pick up where The World of Skin left off: M. Gira's Drainland and Jarboe's Sacrificial Cake (Young God/Alternative Tentacles). Labeled Swans Related Projects, both are a further exploration of Gira and Jarboe's favorite themes: the tension between beauty and filth, immortality and decay, love and hatred.
Typically, songs by the Swans tend to be very melodic, almost baroque at times, while Gira/Jarboe's side ventures involve more experimental sounds and more discord. Gira's Drainland begins with one of his favorite audio tricks: a low-fi tape recording of someone speaking, played behind a wall of music, as if to simulate eavesdropping. On You See Through Me, a spooky piano/violin sheen covers an argument between a man and woman about his alcoholism, which he denies with slurred voice and slurred logic.
Jarboe's album offers more of a verbal experiment with the song Not Logical, which begins with the command "open your mind," and then offers a list of works: "Sensational, metaphysical, insatiable, astronomical," and so on, sung by alternating voices, with "open your mind" repeated throughout. ("Heterosexual," "bi-sexual," and "homosexual" also crop up in this list.) The song ends with this directive: "Anything at all, but not logical."
For more traditional songs, check out Gira's Your Naked Body, with its strummed acoustic guitar. "Down at the bottom of the deep black sea/Your naked body is waiting from/Beneath a halo of underwater light/Reflecting red stars of madness." This is one of the few songs that touches on the sense of tainted joy present in the best Swans tunes—the feeling of unearthing some kind of beauty, however damaged, in an ugly, scary world.
For those with less experimental taste, I should mention the most recent Swans album, The Great Annihilator (Young God/Invisible), released in late 1994. While not as good as their '91 masterpieces, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity (one of the 10 best albums of all time, in my opinion), it still makes an excellent introduction for the Swans newbie.

Overheard: Hat Trick
It may be getting warmer outside, but why should that stop us from looking for the perfect hat? We can't help ourselves when it comes to Madeleine Thompson's cashmere toppers—and neither can Agyness Deyn, Sienna Miller, or Keira Knightley, all seen out and about in Thompson's designs. Poppy Delevingne was spotted running around New York in a red one. We've heard everyone's been asking for Thompson's latest: full-length cashmere dresses. ("I was desperate for a knitwear dress that didn't cling," explains the designer.) The native Londoner has big plans for her line. What's next? "I've got a lot of ideas up my sleeve!" Cashmere sleeve, no doubt.

In their 85th season, the Harlem Globetrotters have entertained millions of parents, children, and general basketball admirers with a unique brand of athletic precision and showmanship. For their latest 4 Times the Fun North American tour, the Globetrotters will add new 4-point shot spots located 35 feet from the basket, which is 12 feet farther than the official 3-point line but several thousand miles closer than the prime meridian.
Hola Amigo's! My name is William Goff and I am the proud owner of Pancho Loco, which was established way back in 1997. Back in 1997 I got this crazy idea that owning a restaurant would be a great way to spend my life so I went out and started living the dream. Now Pancho's is known for its fresh tasty homemade foods!
Each Wood-N-Tap restaurant's kitchen serves a menu of casual American food that ranges from burgers and sandwiches to pasta, pizza, and entrees. The eatery partners with farms from New Jersey to Maine to cultivate 100% all-natural meats for their homegrown burgers, which feature tender hormone-, steroid-, and antibiotic-free meats such as Wagyu beef, bison, free-range turkey, and pork. Chefs grill entrees including swordfish and bourbon-marinated grilled sirloin, as well as signature items such as mac 'n' cheese pizza and Bar Bites sliders constructed with bison, Angus beef, turkey, or a baseball.
Wood-N-Tap blossomed from the fitting combination of its owners' skills—Mike scouts the locations, Phil markets the brand, and Wil and Kenny manage the daily operations of the various locations. More than a decade ago, after forging a friendship as strong as oak and a partnership as strong as steel-reinforced oak, the crew opened the first Wood-N-Tap location in 2002—and they have expanded to seven locations and counting.
At iD Brazil Churrascaria & Restaurant, servers arrive at tables with giant skewers bearing perfectly grilled, aromatic meats. It's called rodizio, a traditional style of serving cuisine at Brazilian restaurants. In this case, you can get your fill of more than a dozen meats, including pork loin, beef ribs, and Brazilian pork sausage. The South American steakhouse also offers a vast buffet, as well as traditional drinks, such as the Caipririnha, a blend of muddled limes, cachaca, and sugar.
The chuckle connoisseurs at Treehouse Comedy Productions have brought laugh-worthy comics to their stages for more than 25 years, giving an audience to future standup-comedy legends such as Rosie O'Donnell, John Stewart, and Jay Leno. Treehouse continues its commitment to busting guts with a calendar of upcoming shows that includes Comedy Central veteran Bill Santiago (April 6–7), who brings a neurotic edge while reflecting on growing up as a Puerto Rican in New York. Kevin Downey, Jr. (April 13–14), on the other hand, cracks macabre one-liners delivered with a distinctively belligerent yell that has been featured on HBO and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Mike P. Burton (April 27), erstwhile warm-up guy for Rachel Ray, uses a sensibility molded by a childhood in the South and an adulthood in New York to launch hilarious jeremiads about children, relationships, and society's foibles.
Chefs at Darien Social draw on their supplies of New England grown produce, farm raised meats, and local artisan products to craft their menu of American food. Entrees have included New York strip steaks with buttermilk onion rings, bone marrow, and creamed spinach and duck pizzas crowned with gruyere, duck confit, molasses, and squash crunch. To pair with rotating seasonal ingredients, the bartenders dispense a rotating selection of 31 different craft beers on draft and pour international wines.
