LAS VEGAS — Pitt State scored the game's final five points to overcome a 63-62 deficit with 1:25 to play and claim a 67-63 victory over Dixie State in final day action of the Las Vegas Challenge at Orleans Arena Wednesday (Dec. 19).
Mary Nolen put the Gorillas (9-1) ahead for good with a transition basket with 1:02 to play in the game. Pitt State then held the Red Storm (7-4) scoreless, while making three of six free throws in the game's final minute to seal the victory.
Pitt State led by as many as 14 points, at 23-9, nine minutes into the game, but Dixie State battled back to keep it competitive the rest of the way. The Red Storm trimmed the margin back to three points before the Gorillas exited the first half with a 35-31 advantage.
The Gorillas pushed their margin back to 10 points, at 48-38, with 14:40 to play in the game, but the Red Storm outscored Pitt State 21-7 to take a 59-55 lead with 6:18 to play in the game. DSC still led 61-57 with 3:39 to play before the Gorillas utilized a 10-2 run to end the contest.
Kaleb Porter scored a game-high 17 points, netting 14 in the first half. Marky Nolen added 12 points, while JaVon McGee posted a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds. Courtney Ingram also finished the game with 11 points for the Gorillas, who shot just 38 percent from the field (23 of 60) but converted 16 of 24 free throw attempts.
Steven Larson had a team-leading 15 points for Dixie State.

Hey everybody!
Stumped on what to get your favourite Leaf Fan? Want to make their lives better and hopefully forget about the crushing horror that is Leaf Fandom? Get them this jersey!
Jerseys are a personal choice. Do you get home or away? Replica or game quality? Do you really need a fight strap? However, one thing is certain, you cannot go wrong with the following:
Get this one. The person you give it to will get respect for being a little bit out there, and can commiserate about what might have been. Plus it was from the last time when Leafs D wasn't completely embarassing (OLAS excepted).
Additional pluses include: Chemmy curse will not be in effect (Chemmy curse involves the player wearing the jersey Chemmy picks up gets traded; see Steen, Alex), cool name, cool number. It's a perfect square, for god's sake.
Now the only question remaining is.. Who's getting this one for me? Size XL or XXL, please!

Well, as I write I'm still waiting for the 'Indian' summer that we have been promised. Hopefully by the time you get to read this it will be 85 degrees! you never know we live in hope.
Actually I shouldn't complain as we had our little fix of sunshine this year in Gran Canaria, which was beautiful. Originally we were going to Tunisia, somewhere that I have always fancied, but after the unrest earlier in the year we switched to Melonares in Gran Canaria.
We stayed at an amazing African-themed resort hotel, almost like one of the themed hotels you would find in Las Vegas and the weather was wonderful.
Since we have got back it's been all systems go with my son starting secondary school. And I thought I was busy before! This is a whole different ball game, talking of which he is now playing rugby, and before you start thinking I'm totally paranoid, this is the boy who managed to break his arm in his own bedroom!

BEEKMANTOWN — Everything was going as planned for the Beekmantown boys' basketball team Friday night with a 37-23 halftime lead over Seton Catholic.
But there was a surprising change after intermission.
High School Sports Magazine
The Knights outscored the Eagles by a 43-23 margin in the second half, including 17 fourth-quarter points from Adam Tedford, for a 66-60 upset in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference play.
"It was a great team effort and a great win for us," said Knights' coach Larry Converse.
Beekmantown, with Greg Manney scoring 14 points in a 23-10 second-quarter run, took a 14-point halftime advantage.
But Tedford, who scored 25 points in all, led a second-half Seton Catholic comeback that also featured some clutch baskets by David LaFountain.
"We went up by one point with about two minutes left and then they scored," Converse said. "Tedford, who took control of the game, later hit a 3-pointer to give us a four-point lead and they were never able to get closer the rest of the way."
Tedford, in the fourth quarter alone, hit three 3-pointers, one 2-pointer and went 6-of-8 from the foul line.
Kaden Baugh chipped in with 16 points and eight assists for Seton Catholic, and Keagen Briggs contributed 10 points.
"Baugh's our point guard and he didn't have a turnover in the entire second half," said Converse. "That was big for us and a key why we won the game."
Keegan Ryan paced the Eagles with 25 points, while Manney finished with 16 and Nikolas Koktowski, eight.

For years we have been looking for the elusive PGOTF. Andre has done a good job, but won't last forever (and we could use some shooting). We may simply look for a backup in free agency, but these are some trade ideas for the potential PGOTF:
Chris Paul: Maybe came close to dealing for him last summer. Hornets may look at trading him this off-season or pre-deadline. Would of course be a longshot, but would be a great fit with the current roster (or what would be left of it post-trade)
Steve Nash: I think the Suns have to explore trading him because they aren't making a Finals run anytime soon. I would not want to give up much for him because of his age
Stephen Curry: One of my favorite players outside of Portland. Could be a good Stockton to Aldridge's Malone for years to come. Warriors may have to make him or Monta Ellis available soon.
Kyrie Irving: Has drawn comparisons to Paul, though is a mystery box since he hasn't played in the NBA. I think a risk you take for a potential all-star point guard. Lottery teams Minnesota, Cleveland, Utah, and especially Washington are fairly to very strong at point guard. May consider trading pick if they are slated to land Irving.
Raymond Felton: Similar to GS, Denver may not have room for two small guards. In that case, Felton would be out. He is a good point guard, receiving all-star consideration last year. Has an improving, but still not great, three-point shot.
Devin Harris: A rebuilding Jazz team may not see Harris as part of their future. Has been discussed in Blazer trades a lot. Not a huge upgrade over Andre, but several years younger.
Second Tier:
George Hill: Likely going to stay in San Antonio. They have eyes for Batum though. I wouldn't take Hill-Batum straight up, but if they added some it may happen. Solid shooter and defender. Between him and Oden though, we'd have to take a lot of care when viewing the internet...
Eric Maynor: Maynor has shown he has a lot of talent. Enough to where I don't think he'll be content long-term as Russel Westbrook's backup. Thunder may have to look at dealing him.
Jeff Teague: Teague has played well in Kirk Hinrich's absence. Before that though, he wasn't playing much behind both Hinrich and Jamal Crawford. May trade him for a bigger need if they don't expect to give him big minutes next year.
Johnny Flynn: I could see a Flynn-Rudy swap. He showed a lot of potential out of college but has disappointed so far. The "Wolves already have Luke Ridnour and if they really expect Rubio to come over, they will have no need for Flynn. I could see an interest in Rudy from them to pair with Rubio (who is probably a beter armada-member than Sergio).
Ramon Sessions: Cleveland has Baron Davis on a big deal and may draft Irving if they don't trade the pick. Also, Daniel Gibson is a combo guard. In other words, point guard is one of two positions where the Cavs have some depth. They may look at trading for a wing-player.
What do you guys think? Should we go for someone like Paul? Go for a younger point? Does Andre have a few more good years, or is Patty or Armon our guy? Who do you guys think is attainable and a good fit?

Officers are trying to determine what caused a small fish kill in a popular Madison park.
Viewers called WLBT News about the startling find in Strawberry Patch Park Tuesday morning.
We found numerous fish of all types dead along the east side of the pond.
A couple of fish stayed near the surface of the water.
Madison work crews were on the scene cleaning up the fish kill Tuesday morning.
A conservationist believes the event is weather related.
"Most ponds and lakes are stratified in terms of temperature of the water, and when the cool water at the bottom returns to the top, you have what we technically call a turnover of the lake or pond," said Pete Heard of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. "That loss of oxygen will actually cause some fish to die."
Park officials say about 100 fish died.
A biologist will attempt to determine the source of the problem.
"It's hard to be absolutely sure without a chemical test analysis of the water, and we are going to get our area biologist over here and look at it and take it a little bit further," Heard said, "but we think it's out of danger right now."

Finland considers applying to host this spring's World Figure Skating Championships
Japanese withdrawal prompts last-minute bid
Susanna Rahkamo
print this
Finnish Figure Skating Association chairperson
Susanna Rahkamo
is excited about the possibility of Finland taking over the task of organising the World Figure Skating Championships later this spring, after the event that was originally supposed to take place this week in Tokyo, Japan, was cancelled in the aftermath of the recent earthquake and tsunami.
"We are very curious to find out if organising the event might still be possible at such short notice", Rahkamo told
Helsingin Sanomat
on Monday evening.
"It does not hurt to play with the idea, even if it seems crazy given the short notice of less than a month."
The International
Skating Union ISU
announced on Monday that it is looking for a new organiser for the World Championships after Japan had officially confirmed its decision to give up staging the event due to the natural disaster that overwhelmed large areas of the country.
ISU chairman
Ottavio Cinquanta
commented yesterday to the news agency AP that a vote over the new organiser of the event will take place either on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.
The Italian was hoping that at least three to four countries would sign up as host candidates.
the lines
, Rahkamo lets on that Finland received a wish from abroad - in other words from the ISU - to enlist as a candidate.
Presumably at least the United States and Canada are also going to offer to host the event.
"The United States would be one solution. The main thing is that we will have World Championships this year", Rahkamo ponders.
Figure skating is very popular in the United States and North America in general. Its television viewing figures are extremely high.
On the second weekend of April, Finland will host the World Synchronised Skating Championships at the Helsinki Ice Hall.
The World Figure Skating Championships are now rescheduled for April 24 – May 1.
According to chairwoman Rahkamo, there are plenty of issues and possible stumbling-blocks that have not even been looked into as yet.
Among many of the relevant considerations are for example the televising arrangements of the event and the availability of suitable ice arenas.
The booking capacity of Helsinki's hotels in late April also needs to be checked.
As far as
the budget of the event
is concerned, Rahkamo's only comment was that "it is in the millions of euros".
"I don't want to start guessing. We are currently looking into the budgets of the 1999 World Championships and the 2009 European Championships that were organised here."
The minimum audience capacity for the World Championships is 8,000 seats. This means that in Finland only the cities of Helsinki and Turku would qualify.
Rahkamo was unable to comment on whether the 2010 World bronze medallist and the 2009 European Champion
Laura Lepistö
, who has been injured the entire season this year, might be able to recover in time to take part.
"That is completely Laura's own decision."
Helsingin Sanomat
was unable to reach Lepistö or her coach
Virpi Horttana
for comment yesterday.

Formerly known as Schillings Pub, apparently bought out by the staff. Old green Schillings awning out front, with a white & red Toad Hall sign over the name.
Stopped in here today for lunch, after striking out at Pepi's and Husher's in Caledonia. Glad I did.
Ancient dark wood everywhere, a leaded glass windowed vestibule leads inside the bar, with secluded wooden booths (and board games) along the right side and in the back. Hightop tables in the front windows, under an Abita and Newcastle neons, dark green plaid carpet from the place's former life as a British pub. Above the bar are hundreds of pewter mugs, numbered on the bottom for regulars I guess. Drafts were served in nonic pints, which i'd take over a pewter mug anyday... Teardrop lamps were spaced above the bar with some spotlights on the back bar shelves filled with liquor and knick knacks up top. You could easily get lost in a few beers for an afternoon here.
Draft and bottle selection was equally impressive, bottles maybe slightly more so. Printed list had a sharp and readable layout, ther was also a rotating chalkboard high on the wall in back, it had some nice stuff not on the list. Half the drafts were rotating, and the other half were sort of typical: Fat Tire, #9, Guinness, etc. Draft highlights: MKE Sasquatch pumpkin porter, Titletown Vinterol Rye, Alaskan Birch Bock, Wells Banana Bread, Bells Oberon, and Hinterland Luna Coffee Stout. Bottle highlights: SN Hoptimum, CW Bourbon Cherry Stout, OB Deviant Dale's, Stillwater, Nøgne, Squatters, Weyerbacher, Kulmbacher Eisbock, and many more... somewhere around 50-60 bottles.
Jesse was the bartender, and he was pretty knowledgeable and chatted about beer the whole time. Service was timely and I never had an empty glass. The food menu was fairly eclectic, and they had a separate brunch menu from 11am-1pm. About 10 burger varieties and creative sandwiches and salads, a notch above the usual bar food. I had the Ryan's Express, which was a burger topped with avocado salad and Neufchâtel cheese.
Overall Toad Hall is a redeeming oasis in downtown Racine, an area where there never seems to be much going on. Be sure to check it out if local or passing through, it's a great little bar.

This is by far the best bar in Racine, WI. The Atmosphere is everything a beer lover would want, its peaceful, yet not too peaceful, great games, two LCD's so you can watch the game(s) and it never draws a shit crowd. Other people have listed that there is an older crowd in there but that has changed in the past year. Its become a good hangout for the younger and older beer loving crowd.
Cory is the regular bartender as of recently and he is exceptional. Very knowledgeable about beer, bourbon and wines. He will hook you up and can start a conversation with anyone.
Shillings has the best beer selection in Racine. They have 6 or 7 coolers stacked with bottles ranging from Wisconsin brewers all the way to Obscure German imports. They never keep an old IPA sitting around and you might find a few older lagers or stouts but I would consider that a plus!
I haven't had much of their food, but the Fish & Chips is exceptional!
Definitely check this place out if you're in town for BrewFest or just in town and need a pint!

Wow, first review in about 4 years! Decided to stop on by here the night before the Great Lakes Brewfest.
A small little place, but it has that cozy little pub feel to it. Dark, but not to the point of not being able to see. It was jammed packed for 9pm on a friday night, but it was plainly obvious that there was some sort of a 'swingers' event going on.
I was able to find a booth in the back and was served quickly. Got a Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout and their Bangers & Mash to eat. Good service despite how busy it was. Great price on the beer, but the food was really overpriced for what it was and how much you got.
I think I would have liked it better if there was not some sort of an event going on there and if there were other people my age there; it was pretty obvious I was the youngest person in there. Still worth checking out, but I suggest going on a weeknight.

I spotted Schillings a few weeks ago and finally made my way in to it tonight. I slipped up to the very nice hardwood bar and ordered a pint of Bass. I was very pleased when the bartender asked me if I wanted an American or Imperial pint. That was my first two clues that this bar was worth while (they had 20oz pints and bass on tap).
They had a little two person jazz band playing and though not very Irish or English in my experience it did add a lot to the atmosphere and make the bar very pleasant. Apparently they have live music every Friday and Saterday night and in October ('06) they will expand that to Thursdays for a while as well.
The crowd was very mellow and social, and there was several little side booths for more intimate conversations between couples and such. The bar was very clean, the smokers (though a lot) seemed to linger near the bar and the bathroom (male) was very clean for a Southeastern WI bar.
The new owner was there making his way through the crowd and socializing with just about everyone that was engaging from what I could tell.

Apparently, Shillings Pub started off as an English-style pub, but recently was bought out and has proclaimed itself an Irish-style pub. Whatever... there's not much that really suggests either country in Shillings's décor, beer list, or pizza-only food menu. However, they did have things like Tetley's, Smithwick's, Boddington's, Harp, and Guinness on tap. But regardless of whatever half-realized theme for which they might be aiming, Shillings is a pretty nice pub with a pretty decent beer list, divided by country; I believe it included Ireland, England, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Mexico, America, and "Other." Though they don't have anything extraordinary, I can't say I wasn't pleased with the selection. My mate and I ordered Melbourne Strawberry, Smithwick's, Founders Rubaeus, Beck's Light, SNPA, and Sam Smith's Nut Brown and Oatmeal Stout. They also offered beers from New Glarus, Sprecher, Sam Adams, Bear Republic, Rogue, Chimay, Köstrizer, Ayinger, Hacker-Pschorr, Erdinger, Spaten, Young's, Beamish, Murphy's, Victory, Baltika, and more. Everything was served in a frosted pint glass.
The atmosphere was pretty cool, dark, clean, wooden, earthy, and laid-back with a dart board and a big picture window in front that makes the place seem larger than it actually is. I'd give it a higher score for atmosphere except for that it is something of a smoker's club, with what seemed like every last patron and bartender smoking a cigarette or cigar. So it isn't exactly the ideal place to really analyze your beer. The bartender was not very knowledgeable at all, but very nice and a decent pourer.
Certainly worth a stop if you're in town. I recommend coming on a weeknight as it can get pretty crowded on the weekends.

Schillings is the place for good beer if you are stuck in Racine for a week at a time for work or whatever. Located one block off of the historic and newly renovated main street Shillings sits in a narrow old two story building from circa 1900's vintage. Inside the bar is quite nice. Dark wood work and traditional Irish art are about. A humongous mug rack hangs above the bar...testiment to the patronage of this place. A close knit feel is unavoidable between the narrow walls here. Everything is clean and there is a nice plasma screen tv that is mounted so if you want to watch you can but if you are there for the beer you would never know it was there. Overall the service was ok...when I asked for the only DFH bottle I spotted in the cooler the waitress said "you are actually asking for that stuff" damn....and this place had promise. Including the CFH I saw offerings from NB, Victory, Sam Smiths, SA, Guiness, Boddingtons on tap (never really saw that before), and some other decent but run of the mill micros, crafts and imports. This place would not be earth shattering for the experienced BA but considering the surroundings. It has to do. Prices, as always in WI, are more than reasonable.
I did notice that there were several flyers hanging about advertising a beer tasting event, which proves that this place is trying. Kudos for that.
Again, aside from Ivanhoe (which is not anywhere near this bars league) this is it in Racine.

(WMC-TV) - At nightfall it appeared that the search for missing boater Nehemiah Crenshaw had been called off.
Crenshaw's family left the marina tonight with many unanswered questions.
Holding on to hope, Saturday afternoon family members gathered to pray for the safe return of missing fisherman Nehemiah Crenshaw.
Investigators say Crenshaw, 39, left home around 5 o'clock Saturday morning to fish on McKellar Lake in South Memphis.
"A citizen had found the boat," explained Col. A.C. Knight with Memphis police.
Another fisherman feared the worst when he found Crenshaw's abandoned boat navigating the waters but no sign of a boater.
Articles of clothing were reported to be left on the boat.
"We're searching it's a rescue mission at this point", Knight added.
For nearly 8 hours the US Coast Guard, TN Wildlife officers, and other emergency officials searched the lake and the Mississippi River Canal for signs of Crenshaw.
"We're hoping that he's off the boat it's a lot of territory out here that he could be in," Knight said.
His 2004 Chevy Tahoe was later found on the Marina.
As day turned to night, Crenshaw's family and friends waited on the dock for news of his rescue.
Colonel Knight said an underwater search was not yet necessary.
"As dry as it's been and as low as the water is I don't know the depth of the channel but it doesn't seem to be very deep," said Knight.
With very few details about what Crenshaw was wearing or who he might have been with, Colonel Knight warned boaters against taking to the waters alone.
"I wouldn't recommend it on any body of water (being by yourself) because anything could happen and then there's no one there with you," Knight added.
Police have not confirmed if the search will continue in the morning.

Thereis more than one artist named Steve Moore: 1) That Steve Moore (b. 1975) makes his home an hour north of NYC in the misty Hudson River Valley—just across from Washington Irving's legendary Sleepy Hollow—seems maybe too coincidental. As one-half of Zombi, in which he plays synthesizer and bass guitar, the Pittsburgh native's affinity for unsettling mood and motif is well-documented over the band's two self-released EPs and three Relapse releases.

The 15th Annual San Francisco Black Film Festival was a huge success with hundreds in attendance. Some of the headlining films included documentaries on Iceberg Slim and Sly from the Family Stone. Tupac Shakur's 42nd birthday was celebrated in style with a number of revolutionary and reality rap legends in the Fillmore celebrating him 17 years after his assassination in Las Vegas in '96.

Jeff Hankins has his dream job. Jeff is a barber. He cuts hair, gives hot lather shaves, and shines shoes at a barbershop at the Hotel Blackhawk in Davenport.
Hankins started barbering in 2005. He worked in Blue Grass before moving to Davenport. During a recent visit, Jeff used hot towels and a straight razor to give a customer that old fashioned, barbershop experience.
Throughout the shop, he has items that you would find in barbershops years ago. The Lucky Tiger Bottle.. A shaving brush. The strap to sharpen a razor. Jeff is also very particular about his attire, wearing a hat, vest, and tie. Hankins says a barber should be professional and ought to dress like one as well.
Hankins also shines shoes, something else he said was done at barbershops years ago.
He believes the barbershop is a place to settle down, relax, carry on some good conversation, and make some new friends. Hankins jokingly says that one old timer once said that barbering was ninety percent talking and ten percent talent.
The barbershop, he says, was the Internet before there was an Internet. A place to get the local, daily gossip or settle the world's problems. He says you don't always have to believe what you hear in a barbershop, but it sure makes the day go by.
Hankins works at Luce Man at the Hotel Blackhawk. Our culture needs barbershops, he believes. His dream is to being back the American Barbershop as it was in the 1920's anbd 30's.

In response to:
Inside the Army General Petraeus was seen as a genius. I had the distinct pleasure of working for a month on a staff that supported him in Iraq. I was just a field grade officer filling in for a Division liaison to the Corps HQ in Iraq when he was the Forces Commander but i sat in a briefing he got every morning. He was brilliant and his COIN was the right way to go.
Everyone is preoccupied with the events surrounding the juicy sex scandal involving now-former CIA Director David Petraeus to the point they may not have noticed a pattern -- a shake-down -- that is taking place in our military top brass, much like the one currently happening in Russia under President Vladimir Putin.
Curiously, the shake-down here in the U.S. began just after the September 11 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, begging the question: Who benefits when great military leaders like Petraeus fall?

I regret to admit that I haven't been watching any playoff games. I deleted every baseball link on my iphone on October 3rd. So... Why do I find myself typing "Bleed Cubbie Blue" into the search field? Because that's what I do. All I think about at this point in time... is the next moves by Jed and Theo.
We all know what's coming. Losses. Building. But we do entertain thoughts of success, of surprise, of magic in 2013. Things happen. We have seen it many times. What is your recipe for a snowball in hell next season?
I will start. Despite the obvious knowledge that free agents are not the way to go, it's really all we have to look at. We lack any major trading chips this winter. Everybody knows that. Well, here is my idea:
Victorino in center field. Youkilis at third. Both hopefully on two-year deals. Victorino is still an exciting player, offensively and defensively, and we need a smart hitter at the top of the order along with DDJ. Youk... Good, patient hitter with pop. This is a bridge year, after all, and we need bridge players. But will they come?
I would also sign Anibal Sanchez, and one lefty, either Marcum or Saunders, on a Maholm-style deal, so we can flip him mid-season.
If the stars align, something might happen. This season we saw some great starting pitching at times in the first half. Our offense was generally abysmal until Rizzo came to help. The Flyin Hawaiian and Youk would give us a smarter, more patient lineup. It couldn't hurt, eh?

I've always thought Bobby Lutz looked like the assistant finance manager of a used car lot, what with that weasly mustache and short arms. A friend of mine who thinks he knows about hoops wanted Lutz to be the coach replacing Denny Crum. Good thing my pal is a professor so he doesn't have to engage real life too often.
Anyway, Lutz' UNC Charlotte 49ers have started the season 2-4, losing to, among others, Appalachian State.
I'm advised by somebody who actually cares about UNC Charlotte b-ball that Lutz is on a short leash. A losing season and, I'm told, he's sayonara.

Verge, y u no HTML5???
being a technology site with incredible gecko-optimized code and kind of called...the verge, why do you still require flash for your videos like 90sotv?
why not use a html5 codec and code? I have finally upgraded to android, to the galaxy nexus with shiny stock JB (from something i don't need to mention, it includes "6.5" and first word rhymes with blows), and the stock browser is supposed to handle flash but even that's not working (let alone the wonderful chrome for android). I'm directed to flash app on the play store which says my nexus is not compatible with it and it's being discontinued anyway.
so why not go the route that's comfortable for EVERYBODY?
i KNOW there's the app (and i love you, verge app....i will faithfully drain many hours of my nexus's battery watching your videos), but the app is not the whole verge experience. that is on the web - the desktop version, and when on the web on the phone, (desktop works very well on chrome, smooth & beautiful), flash is nothing but a roadblock from 2004.

Lineage of Laughs share
It's a new year, and what better way to ring in the laughs than with an all new comedy team?
'Funny, Son of Story' is an all new original two man improv team featuring former Homegrown Electric Circus member Jazmin Marie Vollmar and current HEC member Mike Walker. Although Funny, Son of Story has roots with the five man team, Mike and Jazmin wanted to branch out and see what they could create together.
"Our name comes from our deep, inner nerd-ness interceded with our improv style. We recognize that if the comma is verbally misplaced, the name doesn't make sense." joked Vollmar. "This is our fourth year improvising together, but the first time where it's just the two of us. "
Check out Funny, Son of Story Friday, January 11, at 8pm, at The Underground Collaborative, 161 W. Wisconsin Ave., Lower Level.
Tickets are only $5 at the door and it's BYOB!
Champing at the bit share
After selling out its New Year's Eve shows in record time, ComedySportzhas a full schedule of regular weekend shows, and it's starting a new round of ComedySportz workshops Jan. 8.
The workshops teach the fundamental concepts of comedy improv and help participants apply them to the competitive team format that ComedySportz has been developing since 1984. Workshop participants have gone on to form their own improv groups, such as Homegrown Electric Circus. The workshops also have been a laboratory and springboard for many standup comics and sketch comedy artists, including Milwaukee's all-female troupe broadminded.
After a couple of workshops, some graduates practice what they've learned in the ComedySportz Recreational League, which completed its 16thseason in November.
A team called the Spasmodic Dinosaurs won the recent Rec League championship. As their reward, teammates Victoria Shaw, Eric Wertzler, Pam Zorko and Ben Scharf will perform against a professional ComedySportz team at a regular show, at 10 p.m., Friday, Jan. 11, at 420 S. 1st St.
From Facebook:
"Come down and watch as the two teams battle it out for ultimate bragging rights! (And possibly drinks afterwards!) Only $5 admission!
The match starts at 10 p.m. The bar and restaurant will be open for your drinking and dining pleasure.
Don't miss what will surely be a night of hilarious, family friendly, improv entertainment!"

The brand's Classics campaign also includes Instagram content featuring the brand's founder, Burt Shavitz.
Natural health and beauty care brand Burt's Bees has launched #6SecondClassics, a Vine effort that casts its classic products in roles in classic literature.
It's Burt's Bees' first Vine campaign and includes seven such videos on Little Women, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Gulliver'sTravels, Metamorphosis, Moby Dick, The Scarlet Letter and Julius Caesar.
Each Vine includes costumed Burt's Bees products that are stop-motion animated on an iPhone, the brand says. Each six-second spot takes about four hours to shoot, it adds.
The Vines are available via Burt's Bees' Twitter feed. Little Women was the first to debut on October 7.
Digital Content and Social Media Manager Melissa Sowry says the brand wanted to experiment with the platform and says these videos were a "test and learn approach for us."
Calling it "an interesting creative process," Sowry says production includes casting which products to play which characters in the novels, as well as determining costume design.
"Shooting these videos was a challenge--essentially, you shoot and publish. There's no post-production," she adds.
#6SecondClassics promotes Burt's Bees Classics, the company's seven "mainstay" products, including Beeswax Lip Balm, Coconut Foot Cream, Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream, Hand Salve, Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream and Res-Q Ointment.
"We wanted to find an interesting way to bring to life the classic products," Sowry says. "The idea is that Burt's Bees Classics are time-tested originals. Thinking about classic products, this is a fun, lightweight way to bring them to life. We're marrying classic products with classic novel characters."
The Vine content targets both female and male consumers as Burt's Bees caters to both sexes, Sowry says.
In addition, while some Vines like Little Women are more appealing to women, others--like Moby Dick, Julius Caesar and Gulliver's Travels--have no gender lines, she adds.
"One thing I think is great about Instagram and Vine is it allows us to connect with consumers to find a moment of delight and put a smile on their face," Sowry says. "It's not 'click here,' it's just enjoy six seconds of video. There's some messaging, but it's a very snackable piece of content and period of enjoyment to provide consumers on this platform."
The brand is using Twitter to push the Vines. Burt's Bees has 49,000 followers and 1.6 million Facebook fans.
#6SecondClassics is part of a larger Classics campaign, which also includes website, Instagram and Facebook content, as well as a video that tells the story of the brand, which has about 39,000 views as of October 13.
In addition to #Classic, #TimeTested and #6SecondClassics, the brand is also using its first Instagram ad campaign, Burt on Instagram, to push the Classics campaign. Burt on Instagram premiered a week before the Vines.
According to Burt's Bees, the brand's founder, Burt Shavitz, is a known recluse who is posting his "backwoods doings" on Instagram with the hashtags #Classic, #TimeTested and #ClassicBurt.
When the brand was planning out the Classics campaign, it considered both Vine and Instagram video and made the decision to use Vine for #6SecondClassics and Instagram to support the campaign with content featuring Shavitz.
"We have recently gone up to Maine and documented sort of what Burt does day to day," Sowry says. "We really felt Instagram was the right platform for that and captured some beautiful imagery of Burt canoeing and making tea."
This visually interesting content features "[moments] of delight," she says.
"We've been using #classic, so it's really classic Burt for him to be sitting out on the porch with his dog or to be surrounded by bees," Sowry says. "There are certain things that are classic Burt and make us laugh around the office. We're bringing it to life on Instagram and letting Burt shine, which felt very authentic."
The brand has two additional campaigns in full planning mode that include Instagram and Vine and will feature more classic content, more product-focused content and more Burt content, she says.
The brand worked with digital agency Baldwin& on the campaign.

Hey dudes,
I'd like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas on Sunday! I wish health and peace to be present in all our homes! A Happy New Year too, full of great moments to all the fanbase. I'm very glad and proud to count on you guys here, and to be able to feel myself at least a little closer to the team I love since I was 14.
And man, It was never easy to me. I'm in the soccer country, so I'm unable to even talk to friends about the sport I like the most. Rare people around me at least know the rules of a football game! So thank you for the friendship and talks you guys provide me. I consider you my Orange & Blue family.
And, giving another reason to this post, I'd like to thank all the MHR staffers. You are all terrific in the articles you post, in the fastest Broncos news of the internet, in the always coherent thoughts, in your good ideas and insights, in pre and pos game historicals and analysis, in the great comments and discussions in the fanposts, etc. The knowledge about the Broncos you provide to us all through this site is priceless. And I can say more: a good family is known by it's values, and you guys are the responsibles for the great environment we have here.
Thank you for reading this non-football post... and, as usual,

The Chiefs continue to churn through options along the defensive line with their latest two signings.
Love played in one game for the Chiefs in 2013.
The Jaguars signed Drake Nevis to fill in for a suddenly banged up defensive line.
The Jaguars brought back Kyle Love to replace Brandon Deaderick who is done for the season after suffering an injury against the Titans.
Former Eagles tight end Clay Harbor was one of seven players claimed by the Jaguars on a busy Sunday for the team.
The Jaguars are slim at the nose tackle position after releasing Kyle Love on Sunday.
Entering the first preseason game of the year, what's the strongest position group for the Jacksonville Jaguars so far?
We break down the players at the defensive tackle position for the Jaguars heading into training camp and who could fit where on the depth chart.
Jaguars defensive tackle Roy Miller hasn't really practiced with the team yet, dealing with tendonitis in his knee.
It's June, y'all. Mini-Camp and OTAs are over. No more sneak peeks of the players jamming out to Biggie Smalls and Tupac. No more previews of all the different hats modeled by the debonair and...
Jaguars defensive tackle Roy Miller is being held out of practice with tendonitis in his knee, but the Jaguars are taking it slowly in bringing him back.
There is some thought that part of the reason for moving Tyson Alualu to defensive end has to do with taking stress off his knee, which has been an issue early in his career.

TECHNOLOGY: Gov't says parents need more info on apps for kids
February 16, 2012 at 5:14 pm in Grand Forks Herald
Who is monitoring the apps that kids use on their phones? The government complained Thursday that software companies producing games and other mobile applications aren't telling parents what personal information is being collected from kids and how companies are using it.

So here is 2011/2012 Knicks Options/Solution Fire our whole coaching staff and even include Walsh and sissy want a be A.Houston. Then Mr. Dolan can form a high end high price group of four great assistants to be on our coaching staff. M.Cheeks, A.Dantley, B.McAdoo, K.Tripuka.
Who says you have to to go out and get a coach and then let him bring in his own cronies like D'Antoni.
Now we can go out and interview a younger future coach to blend with this solid group of assistants of older age. It is a nice mix towards winning and dealing with todays players. As for the head coach we will announce the candidates after the season. Once we see that current group of failures are gone.
2011/2012 Knicks Starters: PG/C.Billups SG/?????????? SF/C.Anthony PF/A.Stoudemire C/???????????
2011/2012 Knicks Rotation Bench: PG/T.Douglas-A.Carter-A.Rautins SG/L.Fields-R.Mason-T.Douglas SF/L.Fields-S.Williams PF/S.Williams can also shift to the PF in a backup role (Not Sheldon Williams) C/????????????? With our Second unit of rotation more complete. We now and understand that the needs are starting SG/C and backup C.
Options/Solutions: Go after in buying in a high draft pick to get E.Kanter for backup PF.
Go after O.J.Mayo to become our starting SG.
Go after with a new system in place M.Gasol/FA and or D.Jordan/RFA
The need for only three pieces to get there makes us close. Getting rid of Walsh/D'Antoni and the rest of the coaching cronies is the key to getting there. The rest of the players on the current team are gone or cut. With D'Antoni out of there we will see a great improvement in our chances towards that NBA Championship.
That is what we all want and not just getting into the playoffs?

Aggies fire another warning shot
If this is all true, aTm has made its points regarding the Longhorn Network and will leave if the demands aren't met. As long as they don't take other teams with them, I let 'em go. A nine-team league means you go back to four non-conference football games - and for KU, it's easier to get back to a bowl.

DESPITE "struggling" at the Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic last week, Orange cyclist Tim Guy said getting miles in the legs was just as important as results leading into the Cycling Australia Road National Championships, which started yesterday in Ballarat.
Guy, along with his Search2retain teammates, will compete in today's criterium race, and Saturday and Sunday's road races.
The 24-year-old will race in the men's elite division, in which Tour De France-winning cyclist Cadel Evans will also compete.
"Racing against Cadel will make it a huge race for everyone," Guy said.
"In saying that, it's a 183.6 kilometre course for the road race on Sunday so I'll be surprised if I even finish to be honest. My job will just to be to help out the other guys in my team anyway, so theoretically I'll get through the first part of the race and then sit back and watch."
Fellow Orange rider, and Search2retain team member, Angus Tobin will also compete in the championships, in the under 23s division.
"Gus did manage to finish one of the stages at Mitchelton," Guy explained.
"Getting the speed under his legs will be good preparation for him for this event. He should do pretty well in that division."
Search2retain finished outside the top 10 at Mitchelton Bay, and no one ranked in the individual events either.
"We struggled a bit in the Classic," Guy said.
"We'd been to our training camp in Thailand and I think it will be more helpful for us in the road championships, where there is a few more hills.
"Personally I struggled as well. I lacked the punch, and speed through the corners that you so sorely need in the crit races."
Guy was unable to finish any of the four stages at Mitchelton, but said the experience was invaluable.

Saturday night, the Buffalo Sabres were shut out by Evgeni Nabokov and the New York Islanders in a 4-0 loss at the First Niagara Center. Saturday also marked the beginning of a new era at the FNC as the first home game under new Sabres' head coach, Ron Rolston. Ron, previously coach of the Rochester Americans, stepped in this week as interim head coach for Lindy Ruff, who was relieved of his duties this past week after the Sabres poor record so far this season. After tonight's loss, Ron is currently 0-2 with the Sabres, but results can not be expected overnight. Hopefully his new leadership can help turn the team around in the coming weeks.
Here are a few photos from the game tonight. Check out more photos if you're on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/FrenzFotography , and please "like" my page while you're there, or share with your friends!

Who cares what I couldn't findJune 12th, 2013 , by Suzanne
I've been thinking of several blogs that I need to write; among them personal application to interesting news articles and concerns about turning 60. I've been too busy at work to do any serious pondering, but something happened yesterday that made me laugh. Maybe you need a laugh too.
I had finished unloading my groceries at the checkout line. The cashier picked up a box of rice crackers and said "Is this how you stay so thin?" My initial response was to tell her that I liked the crackers, but they were mostly for my husband.
The more I thought about it, the more I smiled. Finally I was chuckling. Then I said to her,
"They need to let you do training for new cashiers. Most of the time a cashier asks me whether I found everything I needed. That makes me think of the things I don't have. You tell me that I look thin, who cares whether I found what I wanted to buy."
I went on, saying, "You could say 'Your hair looks great,' or 'who does your nails' or 'what a cute outfit'. Customers would leave the store smiling."
By now she and I are both laughing out loud. Probably the people in other lines thought we were crazy. But I left the store smiling, and I didn't care about what I hadn't been able to find.
Be angry, but sin notMay 30th, 2013 , by Suzanne
I'm assuming that anyone who knows about health knows that fluoride is a toxic by product of aluminum manufacturing. Long ago some deviously brilliant marketer, looking for a way to dispose of the chemical trash, convinced city governments to put fluoride in tap water.
"It will help children have healthier teeth," they said. Ignoring the fact that while fluoride might benefit pre born babies in the womb, it contributes to osteoporosis in menopausal women.
Now I read an article that the whey protein fad is a similar scam. Whey is a byproduct of cheese and Greek yogurt manufacture.
Modern Farmer claims that whey is so toxic to the environment, that it illegal to dump. If it is put in streams and rivers, it robs the water of so much oxygen that fish and other aquatic life start to die off.
So the deviously brilliant marketers looked around for a place to sell their whey waste products. They convinced parents that it adds protein to baby formula. They convinced athletes that it will build muscle.
Whey protein is avoid for Type Os and Type As. Occasionally I see a post from a body builder trying to convince himself (or herself) that something so highly advertised couldn't really be avoid. I think the key words in that sentence are "highly advertised."
Now you have one more reason (as if you needed more than your BTD food list) to stay away from whey. Type As - go for soy protein. Type Os - go for egg white protein.
Bs and Abs - you will make the cheese and yogurt companies happy if you pay them for their trash.
The title of this blog is a Bible verse - Ephesians 4:26 to be exact. It reminds me that even though I get mad at marketers, I should not let anger dominate my life or make me stressed.
After I posted this blog, I went to photograph a kindergarten graduation. The kids were so cute, and I had a wonderful time. On the way home I remembered another example of food processors using advertising to convince us that something bad was really good; when in truth, it was only good for their pocketbooks. Adelle Davis recommended that no one eat palm or coconut oil because of the high amount of saturated fat. She decried the processed food industry's use of those to oils in crackers and pastries because they were inexpensive.
Dr. D agrees. Coconut oil is avoid for all types except O non secretors, and it's not beneficial even for them.
However, advertisements abound promoting coconut oil as a miracle healer. The high saturated fat content is ignored. I'm guessing that the profit margins are enormous.
The ads sound like snake oil to me...but I'd better be careful. I'm starting to get angry again.
Choosing bananasMay 26th, 2013 , by Suzanne
There used to be this little window that would pop up on my computer screen that said "Five things that happen before a heart attack." After seeing it over and over, I got curious and clicked. I knew it would be a sales pitch (and I was right), but after watching a video for more than 10 minutes, I gave up. I didn't want to know the five things badly enough to invest any more time in the advertisement.
Soon another window started popping up. It said "Five foods never to eat" and there was a picture of a very ripe banana. Bananas are beneficial for Type O, so again I was curious. I clicked the link, expecting an advertisement, but when another video started, I thought, "I'll give it 60 seconds." After 60 seconds I escaped.
Still being curious, I began to bing bananas, and I found some interesting and useful information.
Very ripe bananas with dark patches produce a substance called TNF. Research indicates that TNF can combat abnormal cells. The more dark patches a banana has, the higher its level of TNF.
According to a Japanese study TNF from ripe bananas has anti-cancer properties. The riper the banana, the better the anti-cancer quality. Researchers at Tokyo University compared the health benefits of several different fruits, including banana, grape, apple, water melon, and pineapple. Bananas gave the best results, increasing the number of white blood cells, enhancing immunity and producing anti-cancer TNF. A professor involved in the study was quoted as saying that a banana with dark spots is 8 times more effective in increasing white blood cells than a green skin banana.
So we Type Os should be eating ripe bananas with dark spots, right? Not so fast.
Green bananas could have benefits for dieters and diabetics.
Dieters are sometimes told to stay away from bananas because they are starchy, but the type of starch in green bananas is resistant starch. Rather than being broken down during digestion, resistant starches pass through the intestines unchanged. This gives them the characteristics of insoluble fiber. Foods with resistant starch increase the feeling of satisfaction and being full. This may reduce calorie consumption.
Foods containing resistant starch increase insulin sensitivity. This may help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugars more effectively.
Resistant starch also benefits friendly, probiotic bacteria. As the good bacteria in your intestines ferment resistant starch to make energy, they decrease the level of bad bacteria in your intestines. Bad bacteria can cause several problems from diarrhea to chronic colon conditions. When resistant starch is fermented it produces short-chain fatty acids which improve colon health and may reduce the risk of colon cancer. The same short-chain fatty acids increases the body's ability to absorb calcium.
Dr. D says bananas are beneficial for Type Os. I buy them green, and think about how good the resistant starch is for me. As they ripen, I'm happy because I'm getting more TNF. I win either way with bananas.
Roasted VegetablesMay 22nd, 2013 , by Suzanne
I'm working with a client who wants to publish a three volume book on her family genealogy. She comes from a very interesting and historic family, which has made the project a lot of fun. I'm doing the layout and design, plus helping with the research.
She and her husband have a big garden, and one day while I was working he came in with several gigantic heads of cauliflower. Her eyes got big and she said, "What am I going to do with that much cauliflower?"
One of my facebook friends had posted a recipe for roasted cauliflower. It looked really good so I printed it out and took it to my client, who made it for dinner that very night. The next day she was raving about how good it was. Cauliflower is avoid for me, but I saved the recipe thinking that it would probably be good with other roasted vegetables.
Yesterday I decided to fix okra for lunch. My Honorable Husband said he would eat a little, but he wasn't a big fan of okra. It is beneficial for us both, so I wanted to prepare it in a way that might make him change his mind about okra. I was thumbing through cookbooks, when I remembered the roasted cauliflower recipe. I decided to make roasted okra.
Here is the original recipe.
1 head cauliflower, cut into 1/2 -1 inch florets
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs,
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup olive oil - make sure the florets are well coated
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400º.
Toss florets with olive oil, bread crumbs and cheese. Spread in a single layer on jelly roll sheet lined with nonstick foil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast 30-40 minutes, until nicely browned
I looked for gluten free bread crumbs at the grocery store. The first package I picked up was obscenely expensive. Irks me how food companies will take advantage of people with dietary concerns. Then lower on the shelf, I found gluten free bread crumbs by a company called Four Sisters and a Brother. There are NO avoids, and the price was reasonable - Hallelujah! If your grocer doesn't carry them, you can buy them on line.
Because Parmesan Cheese is already salty, I did not add any additional salt.
As okra cooks, it produces a slimy juice. While it roasted, I stirred it three times. The first two times made the bread crumbs absorb the juice so that the coating stuck to the okra almost like fried okra. The third time I stirred was too much. Some of the coating fell off. I can see there is an element of finesse to perfect this recipe with okra. I'm sure it's easier with other veggies.
The outcome - in a word was delicious. I liked it. HH liked it. The leftovers are not going to last for long.
Salt and déjà vuMay 16th, 2013 , by Suzanne
Most mornings I try to glance at the Bing health news site, just to see what is happening that I might need to know about. This week two studies were released by two different Journals that reached different conclusions about salt. Arrgh! At first I was irritated. Then a remembered that conflicting studies about protein and fat were what convinced me that the science behind the Blood Type Diet was true.
Some news sites reported one study and some reported the other, but Brittney R. Villalva did a good job of covering both. Here are excerpts from her article.
While a number of governmental organizations have worked to drop the amount of salt contained in processed foods, the actual impact has been unsubstantial, according to a study published May 13 in JAMA Internal Medicine. The average amount of salt contained in packaged, processed foods only decreased by 3.5 percent, the study indicates, while sodium content in restaurant food increased by 2.6 percent.
"The strategy of relying on the food industry to voluntarily reduce sodium has proven to be a public health disaster," author and Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) executive director Michael F. Jacobson said in a press release.
But at the same time, a study conducted by the Institute for Medicine has declared that dropping sodium content in excess in one's diet could also pose health side affects. While the study maintains that Americans still consume far too much salt and are in excess of the recommended 2,300 milligram maximum- it also suggests that those who have gone to great extents to severely reduce the amount of salt in their diet have not benefited medically.
"We're not saying we shouldn't be lowering excessive salt intake," Dr. Brian Strom of the University of Pennsylvania, who led the IOM committee, told the Associated Press. But below 2,300 mg a day, "there is simply a lack of data that shows it is beneficial."
The American Heart Association maintains that people should consume no more that 1,500 mg of sodium per day. The average American consumes about 3,400 mg. Many are still convinced that the large sodium intakes are resulting in numerous health problems.
The first thing that I wanted to know was whether Dr. D'Adamo took a position on salt intake. I don't have all of his books, but the ones I have don't mention salt except to say that it is neutral.
In one of his Ask Dr. D'Adamo columns he had this commentary on a study about heart disease.
...numerous studies (many harking back to the 1950's) have linked ABO type to higher levels of cholesterol and coronary artery disease. This study again demonstrates the power of defining diet by blood group: By using this system, you eat not just for today, but for tomorrow. If you are type A, you'll want to take the advice of the 'broad-band paleo-dieters' with less than a grain of salt.
This fits in with my Type A husband's problems with blood pressure. So I'll keep him on a low salt diet. But what about Type Os?
In Heidi Merritt's "On the Diet" column, she frequently recommended drinking water with "a pinch of salt and lemon." I tried that for a while, but it seemed to make me retain water weight, so I dropped it.
Adelle Davis focused her attention on keeping sodium and potassium intake in balance, warning that people eating a modern diet got way too little potassium for the amount of sodium they were consuming.
I remember many years ago trying a liquid potassium supplement that I eventually stopped taking because I started feeling faint when I was exercising. But then I tend to have low blood pressure.
The really confusing factor in all of this is that my Type O son, who is under 30 years of age, already has high blood pressure and is on a low dose of blood pressure medication. Because he is a single young professional, who eats out a lot, he has a hard time following his doctor's advice to decrease his sodium and increase his potassium.
I am left with the déjà vu feeling that something is missing in all of these studies. Perhaps one of these days someone, maybe Dr. D., will figure it out.

Number of ratings 26 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Funny ratings option as my interest level was "obsessed" prior to class :) Avron is a great professor & very patient with questions or concerns. I found some texts hard to read critically but they've opened my mind to enjoy and imrove my writing skills. His TA's were great too, all very helpful. I hope to cross paths with Avron through the halls!
This class changed my life. He puts feeling into everything he teaches and says. He sometimes comes across as annoyed or frustrated but I think it is because he feels so strongly for the material, and hopes that we will feel the same. He knows things we may not know yet, and is willing to share. DO THE READINGS if you want to feel comfortable
This course is CHALLENGING. Your mark consists of four essays at 25% each and you definitely need to have a thorough understanding of the texts to complete them. As for Avron, he seems like a sweet man, but he can honestly come across as being a bit rude and dismissive if you say something he doesn't agree with. Not one of my favourite Profs.
Don't take this class unless you plan on reading all of the books. Your grade is based off four essays, which you can rewrite, but the books can be tough and it's basically mandatory to read all of them. The reviews for me were a bit of a letdown...I felt like he was trying to be nice but was easily annoyed.
One of the kindest and most intelligent people I've ever met. A real gem. Take his course(s) if you get a chance; you'll be glad you did.
Avron is simply amazing. Insightful, philosophical, and engaging! I went to every tutorial - it wasn't even mandatory..great learning experience, great man, wonderful teacher! Made York a memorable learning experience hands down :)
amazing professor and ta. very intelligent and clear in his explanations. very inspirational with a great character.
Avron is the sweetest man. He is extremely helpful and clear in giving explanations, I'd even say he's a fairly easy marker. I can't believe anyone would have anything bad to say about this man - he is the greatest teacher I have ever had, and, I'm afraid, will never have again.
Seemed more like a prayer circle than a university class. Has interesting insight and interpretations but is a tad authoritarian about them. Tries desperately hard to extract meaning from every little thing. If you don't believe the bible, he'll make you, or else.
At first I was not that interested in taking the course, but once a few weeks went by, i was amazed at how Avron really makes you think and be critical of the texts we read. By far, the best prof I've had so far. Even though I no longer go to York, or live in Ontario, I would really like to chat with him again!
he was my ta for this class, and he does have a beautiful soul. i don't understand people who felt he didn't allow them to have a different point of view. taking this class changed my way of looking at the world.

Avron is a great teacher for the literature within this course. Watch out though because he will act as if all the writers are good little humanists and he will try to make you into one too.
Dr. avron is an amazing prof. at first I was so confused at first because the texts are difficult, but it is unbelievable how much you learn in this course, he is wonderful and thinks so eloquently...make sure you do your essays in time since there are no deadlines, that could be your worst enemy if you can't time manage.
Takes wonderful books and reads his ideas into them. Tells you what to think, then expects essays confirming his point of view. Alternative ideas are ignored or dismissed. Highly disappointing to see this style of teaching in a modern university.
at first i was confused with prof kulak's class, but once i started to get it i learned a great deal which has been useful for me in other courses. it was a profoundly interesting class, with a very cool prof. prof kulak is also a very kind man whom i like a great deal.
I don't know what Avron did to the previous raters after class, but I wasn't feeling his teaching method at all... most of the time I was either bored to death, or frustrated because he wouldn't accept an alternate interpretation to his own. Not a HORRIBLE prof, but I wasn't crazy about him.
He's got the most beautiful soul :)
Avron has a very unique style of teaching, he thinks so profoundly its awesome. He's very nice and helpful. I wasn't very interested in taking this class at the beginning, but the knowledge i gained from this class changed my life. Avron is a hottie.
Give a man a fish,he eats for the day,teach him to fish,he eats for a lifetime-Avron taught me to fish.I feel his influence(every day)even now trying to rate him-false distinction between hard/easy,clear/unclear,"I take it that the distinction is between hard/hard,easy/easy-between clear/clear,etc."
