In preparation for Sunday's season opener, we've collaborated with Steven, from View From a Blue, in order to get his views on the match, United's summer signings, the Tevez saga and more!
Regrettably a life-long City fan, Steven has endured the good times (few) and bad times (plenty) at Maine Road & Eastlands but still has the enthusiasm to write a blog about Mancini & Co!
What are your thoughts about United's Summer Signings (De Gea, Jones and Young)? Do you think it has left us in a stronger/ weaker position than last season?
I think Jones is a very promising talent, capable of playing in a number of positions and someone who was wanted by a few clubs. I've always been impressed with him whenever I've seen him so I think he's a good capture for United.
Young, too, is someone I rate. Improved immensely in the last couple of seasons, very tricky on the ball, scores goals, provides assists and is generally a threat.
De Gea is the interesting one. I haven't seen too much of him, but he's got big boots to fill with Van Der Sar leaving, so it will fascinating to see how he copes under pressure. If he settles in well, then he'll be fine but a couple of mistakes early on and he might struggle.
The losses of Neville, Scholes and Van Der Sar will be huge, I feel. Although only Van Der Sar, of that trio, was a regular, it's their experience around the squad that will be missed. They've got countless medals between them, and you can't replace that overnight.
What do you make of the whole Carlos Tevez saga?
I think it's fair to say City fans, on the whole, are fed up of it now. He's a fantastic player whose quality has been there for all to see over the past couple of years, but his heart is not in it and no one player is bigger than the club. Personally, I'm not convinced Tévez is the problem: I think Kia Joorabchain, his adviser, is the troublemaker and the sooner he's out of the way, the better.
The problem for Tévez is the shortage of clubs who can afford him. Barcelona don't need/want him, ditto Real Madrid. Inter Milan is an option, but having stated by misses his family in Argentina, I don't believe City fans would be too happy if he ended up in Italy.
If he stays, he's the type of character who will give his all on the pitch and be professional, but off it, he can be disruptive. My gut instinct is that he'll go.
Theoretically, if you'd had the option, would you have wanted Javier Hernandez or Sergio Aguero to take Tevez' position in the squad?
I rate Hernandez and thought he had a fantastic first season, but to suggest he's even in the same bracket as Aguero is absurd. Aguero is a world class player who has shown his talents both for his club domestically and in Europe, and also for his country.
He will be a huge asset to City and I'm sure, being the type of character he is, he will settle in well. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind having Hernandez at City, but Aguero is just in a different league.
Considering Liverpool's bold summer spending, Arsene Wenger's reluctance to spend and the appointment of Andres Villa- Boas; how do you expect the Top Four to look in May?
United will always be there or thereabouts. With regards to Chelsea, much will depend on how Villas Boas settles, and how they react to him. If he can get Torres firing, they'll be up there. If not, they will be off the top. Liverpool have spent money, but I'm not convinced they are strong enough at the back, whilst Arsenal, if they were to sell Fabregas and Nasri, could slip back.
So I'd expect the top four, in no particular order, to be United, City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Having won England's two biggest competitions between ourselves last season, it could be said that Manchester is the countries capital of football. Therefore, if you were the manager of a joint team, what would be your first- choice XI?
(4-1-3-2) Hart – Richards, Kompany, Vidic, Evra – De Jong – Silva, Yaya Touré, Giggs – Aguero, Rooney
More simply, what is City's predicted line up?
Tévez won't play, Aguero will be on the bench but even though Clichy has sat out the last couple of games with a head injury he may make an appearance.
(4-2-1-3) Hart- Richards, Komany, Lescott, Clichy- Yaya Toure, De Jong- Milner- Balotelli, Dzeko, Silva
Finally, can I bother you for a prediction?..
I couldn't care less about this game. It's a glorified, slightly feisty, pre-season friendly, so I haven't given it much thought. I think it might be a draw, with City to win on penalties, but as long as we come through with no injuries, I'm not fussed.
Many thanks to Steven for taking the time to answer my questions – if you liked what Steven had to say, or want to question him on anything he said, then check out his site, View From a Blue, or contact him on Twitter.
This post gives clear idea in favor of the new viewers of blogging, that genuinely how to do running a blog.

During these extreme temperatures, Toledo firefighters are extremely busy.
Typically, they respond to 150 calls in 24 hours.
Since the start of the year, TFD has averaged 170 calls per day.
According to the department, Tuesday, Jan. 7th, was the worst with 248 incidents, including four structure fires.
Firefighters are asking residents and business owners to clear snow from around fire hydrants near your homes or places of work.
A cleared radius of three feet will allow firefighters to quickly spot and connect to a hydrant, which could save minutes of crucial response time in the event of a fire.
Also, firefighters are reiterating, make sure your smoke alarms are properly operating, and exercise caution when using alternate heating methods.
New software will allow radar to scan storms near ground every 2 minutes instead of 4.

I've always had a soft spot for Cinsault (also spelled Cinsaut), especially old-vine Cinsault.
A native of Southern France, this black grape variety is similar to Grenache in that it delivers soft, fruity, aromatic reds. It's most often used in blends or to make perfumed all-Cinsault rosés. But old-vine Cinsault can produce distinguished reds all on its own.
The 2009 Cinsault from Bonny Doon Vineyard proves the point. It's made exclusively from Cinsault, but blended from two different sites. The Ca' del Solo vineyard, near Monterey, accounts for 60% of the blend, while the old-vine Woock vineyard in Central California contributes 40%.
"In 2009, the Ca' del Solo vineyard gave us a restrained, elegant Cinsault, while the 100-year-old vines of the warmer-climate Woock vineyard, in Lodi, yielded a wine with tremendous concentration," says winemaker Randall Grahm.
All in all, the 2009 Cinsault is an absolutely gorgeous wine.

Hi Sue,This blue and white patterned quilt is stunning. When you send your squares who puts the quilt together? I am not familiar with being a hostess and the object of the individual squares. It is certainly a reminder of ice and snow.
I am looking forward to your quilting posts.
Blessings, Jeanne

These squares definitely say snow and ice. Had I made them, I'd be hard pressed to part with them.
And Sue, I'm nominating you for the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award, with all the warmth that this Virginia winter can offer.

text: According to Tiki Barber from Yahoo! Sports, the Washington Redskins might be thinking of moving up some spots in the 2011 NFL Draft to nab one of the top QBs. With the way that the Skins are treating Donovan McNabb, I would venture to guess that they might try to package McNabb with their first round pick and maybe their second or third in order to move up into. Would this be something that the Cards would be interested in? It would seem like a good fit for the Cards and for McNabb, since he's said he'd like to be here anyway. Plus, then Shanahan wouldn't have to see his face anymore. Of course this is assuming that the Cards are in a draft position to get one of the top guys. Carolina might be in a better spot, but would they pass up Luck? Thoughts?

Essay & Slideshow: Placement & Corine Vermeulen
Living with Mies: The Towers at Lafayette Park
Lafayette Towers, Lafayette Park, Detroit, Michigan. [Photo by Corine Vermeulen]
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a major urban redevelopment project on Detroit's east side created
Lafayette Park
, a planned community that is today one of the city's most racially integrated and economically stable neighborhoods. Lafayette Park was built on land that was once a densely populated working-class African-American neighborhood called Black Bottom, after the marshy bottoms at the source of the River Savoyard, which was buried when Detroit was settled. Classified as a "slum" in the 1940s, the neighborhood were razed and left vacant until the mid-1950s, when Chicago developer Herbert Greenwald made a successful proposal to develop the land with architect
Mies van der Rohe
, urban planner
Ludwig Hilberseimer
and landscape designer
Alfred Caldwell
. Three high-rises, 186 ground-level townhouses and a large park were completed by the early 1960s.
Today the townhouses are owned by residents as co-ops; the apartments in
the Pavilion
and the twin
Lafayette Towers
are rented out. Lafayette Park also includes a shopping plaza, an elementary school, three additional townhouse developments and two more apartment buildings at the north and south ends of the park. Although there are other large apartment buildings in Detroit — along the river and in midtown — a more common housing type is the single-family frame house or brick home, found throughout the city. High-rise living is unusual in Detroit, perhaps in part because the city is sparsely populated and hasn't needed to economize on space. But the possibility of building around a large park appealed to Mies: "If you build high," he said, "you must have enough space to live upon, as we have in Detroit." [1]
In 2009 and 2010, we visited residents of Lafayette Park with photographer Corine Vermeulen while researching our forthcoming book
Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies
. Vermeulen's
portraits of townhouse owners in their homes
appeared in the
New York Times
. Here we present the corollary to that series: tenants of the Pavilion and the Lafayette Towers in their apartments. Vermeulen's portraits are accompanied by Lana Cavar's photos of the views from each apartment window and by excerpts from the interviews we conducted.
Many of the tower residents are retired or divorced people looking to scale down or young people who aren't yet settled — often law, medical or art students, or single professionals saving to buy a home. There is also a solid contingent of long-term renters who have been there for 15 years or more. The Pavilion features a small convenience store on the ground level, a beauty parlor and a business center. On Friday mornings there are donuts and coffee in the lobby for tenants, and regular holiday-themed events are held throughout the year. Both the Pavilion and the Lafayette Towers have fitness rooms and outdoor pools; the Lafayette Towers pool, located on top of a low, shared parking structure, offers a spectacular view of the buildings themselves. The Pavilion has consistently high occupancy rates and a generally positive atmosphere, but the Towers has seen a high turnover in building staff and tenants since new owners bought the complex in 2008, and it is
currently facing foreclosure
In our conversations with residents, we found that the decision to rent in Mies' towers had more to do with their convenience to downtown, security, cleanliness and sense of community than with their architectural significance. That said, the windows — and the striking views they afford — came up repeatedly as a favorite feature. The Pavilion, completed in 1958, was designed with floor-to-ceiling windows; the two Lafayette Towers, completed a few years later, have a ledge about a foot high at the base of the windows. There is a rumor that this design adjustment was made after Pavilion tenants reported nervousness. Longtime resident Mattie Louise Cunningham told us, "Little children come here and stand right next to the window — it's amazing! But my friend … is afraid to go close to window. People have different feelings about it."
In his essay on plate glass, Richard Sennett describes the relatively recent technological advancements that made it possible to build walls of glass, and the corresponding modern sensation of "fully apprehending the outside from within, yet feeling neither cold nor wind nor moisture." [2] At the ground level, this translates into a feeling of intimacy with wildlife and plant life. In the high-rises, it's as if you're suspended in the sky; the environment can shift radically from one moment to the next. Architect and former Lafayette Towers resident Christian Unverzagt described living on the 16th floor as having "a relationship … with weather and major systems," making it possible to watch storms coming up the river from the south or down from the suburbs in the north. A rainstorm that seems normal at ground level can be experienced on the upper floors as an impressive force of nature barreling across the landscape.
While the views are spectacular, the experience of living with enormous windows inevitably becomes part of the tedium of regular life. Occasional moments of interest — a fire across town, heavy fog, an emergency helicopter, a thunderstorm — punctuate everyday concerns like the management of blinds. Oppressive sun in the summertime can make the apartments unbearable. One resident, Stephen Powell, told us that the sun faded the leather on his couch and caused the trim on a desk to melt off, and that if he forgot to close his blinds when he left in the morning the apartment turned into a "toaster oven."
Still, the windows provide a unique perspective on Detroit. North and east, the view extends for miles across a flat urban landscape — you can see smoke rising from the country's largest incinerator two miles to the north; the four vacant Brewster housing project buildings where many Black Bottom residents moved after they lost their homes; the streets awkwardly re-organized around the freeways cutting through downtown. One resident said she preferred the north view at night when she didn't have to see the abandoned buildings, and would prefer a view across the river, but artist and former resident Kevin Beasley said looking north gave him a sense of potential: "you get to really see the city for what it is." A corner apartment in the West Tower affords a choice of views, south across the Detroit River to Canada, or west toward the downtown skyline, which exemplifies the current state of the Detroit economy: a car company (GM headquarters), a health care company (Blue Cross Blue Shield), a casino, various detention facilities, two sports arenas and some vacant buildings.
The East and West Towers have apartments that face the grid of windows on the opposite building. In her remarkable documentary film, Janine Debanné interviews a tenant living in one of these apartments who would regularly dance in front of her window, performing for her neighbors in the opposite tower. [3] The dancer was familiar with the rhythm of the lights coming on and off in the apartments across the way and felt recognized by her audience. Who needs Broadway, she says, when you have the West Tower?

Arthritis gloves can be worn all day and all night. The fingertips are usually cut out so you can easily touch and grip. Arthritis gloves also can improve circulation, which adds warmth.


text: Win streak? Not these Warriors. There's no consistency. One night one guy is hot. The next night is brick city. That's what you have when there's no sharpshooter on the team and a bunch of athletic streaky shooters. And they have no superstars unless you consider BD the closest thing. The Warriors whiffed on Artest last year and and now Iverson this year and I'm afraid Mully will come to regret it. As everyone knows, the NBA is a superstar-driven league and if you don't have at least two, you don't win championships. Look at all the past championships. There's always at least two! Shaq and Wade, Duncan Ginobilli and Parker, Shaq and Kobe, Duncan and Robinson, Jordan Pippen and Rodman, Olajuwon and Drexler, Isaiah Dumars and Rodman, Bird Parish and McHale, Magic Kareem and Worthy, Kareem and Robertson, Wilt and West, Russell and Havlicek, Russell and Cousy, Havlicek and Cowens etc. Even the Warriors had future HOFs Rick Barry and Jamaal Wilkes on their championship team. And how can they have a win streak if Monta and Murph are out with injuries? The bench is depleted and although they might squeak a game out at home, wait til they go out on the road and folks get in foul trouble or injured again. BD is playing like superman now but I hope he doesn't break down which is his history. I have a bad feeling with Baron playing so many minutes. Iverson plays hurt all the time. That's his calling card. The Ws don't scare anyone in defense either without Artest (though I like Biedrins and this year's Pietrus D). The Warriors have too many nice guys and no hard-nosed players. Don't want to sound negative about all this but that's the way the Warriors are built and this year has been.


text: Finger Eleven is a perfect example of a band that is dedicated to their craft unlike any other. Their first effort (as Finger Eleven), "Tip", was a blistering tour de force of hard rock mixed with unforgettable lyrical hooks and flowing melody. But it was nothing more than a preview of what was to come. "The Greyest of Blue Skies" was an amazing sophomore album, layering waves of sonic hammering with the best of Scott Anderson's poignant lyrics. And now, "Finger Eleven", the latest release from this proudly Canadian quintet, is poised to take the rock world by storm. The combination of Rich Beddoe's thundering drums, Sean Anderson's throbbing bass and some truly phenomenal guitar interweaving from Rick Jackett and James Black, the band provides an excellent platform to support Scott Anderson's unique vocal work, his best yet. If you like alternative rock with a hard edge, you need to pick up this disc. As a bonus, it includes a limited edition DVD of the band performing tracks live in Buffalo, NY and provides a great inside look behind the scenes of the making of this album. And now, a quick track by track breakdown (haven't listened enough to REALLY critique the tracks, just got it today):1. Other Light (9/10): Good vocal hook, solid guitar work.2. Complicated Questions (8/10): Familiar F11 sound, yet subtly different.3. Stay in Shadow (10/10): Easily one of the 10 best ever by F11.4. Good Times (10/10): Amazing chorus, great flow to the song.5. Absent Elements (8/10): Very cool song, particularly in the second verse-to-end range.6. Thousand Mile Wish (10/10): Softer side of F11, but definitely welcome — lyrics really shine here.7. Conversations (7/10): Fast paced, yet simple. Good song, not great.8. The Last Scene of Struggling (9/10): Hidden gem on the disc, great guitar/bass/drum combinations showcase the talent this band has.9. Panic Attack (9/10): Great staccato vocal rhythms combined with hammering guitar and drum work make this a memorable track.10. Therapy (9/10): Good song about how close friends can carry you through the rough spots. Heartfelt lyrics, great rhythms.11. One Thing (10/10): Second acoustic track on the disc, and you can already see the lighters in the air when you close your eyes. AMAZING track about regretting what you missed out on.12. Obvious Heart (9/10): Great closer to the disc — vintage F11 sound.Overall Score: 9/10If you like alternative rock that doesn't sound like it was just thrown together in a weekend, this disc is for you. If you like meaning in the lyrics of the songs you listen to, this disc is for you. If you like Finger Eleven already, well…rejoice, your wait is over. This is the best they've ever been.

First... the highy-anticipated theatrical run for Ava DuVernay's critically-acclaimed drama Middle Of Nowhere, begins TODAY, October 12, via Participant Media and AFFRM.
I assume it's on everyone's must-see list, even though not everyone will have immediate acccess to the film, unfortunately. But, in time...
Those who live in NYC, LA, ATL, Philly and DC are the lucky ones this weekend, because it opens in your cities.
The film, which centers on an African American woman struggling to maintain her marriage and identity, after her husband is incarcerated, stars Emayatzy Corinealdi, David Oyelowo, Omari Hardwick, Lorraine Touissaint, and Edwina Findley.
Award-winning DP Bradford Young lensed the film, DuVernay's follow-up to last year's Salli Richardson-Whitfield starrer I Will Follow.
Additional dates will be announced beyond week 2 at AFFRM.com, and we'll share them here as well.
See opening (10/12) and 2nd week (10/19) playdate info immediately below:
NY - AMC Empire 25 Times Square
LA - Sundance Cinemas at Sunset
LA - RAVE 18 The Bridge
Philadelphia - UA Riverview
Atlanta - Landmark Midtown
Washington DC - Regal Gallery Place
Chicago - AMC River East
Miami - AMC Aventura
Detroit - AMC Southfield
Oakland - Landmark Shattuck
Seattle - AMC Southcenter
Houston - AMC Studio 30
New Jersey - AMC Cherry Hill
Second... the documentary feature titled The Iran Job, which centers on Kevin Sheppard, a pro American basketball player, who accepts a contract to play in Iran; What begins as a typical job-for-hire, ends in an emotional roller coaster as Kevin forms an unlikely alliance with three Iranian women against the backdrop of revolutionary upheaval in Tehran. Thanks to these women, his apartment turns into an oasis of free speech, where they discuss everything from politics to religion to gender roles. Kevin's season in Iran culminates in something much bigger than basketball: the uprising and subsequent suppression of Iran's reformist Green Movement – a powerful prelude to the Arab Spring.
From the National Black Programming Consortium's upcoming season 5 of AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange, The Iran Job opens theatrically at the IFC Center in NYC today, Friday, October 12.
The filmmaker, Till Schauder, will be present, in person, at certain screenings during its theatrical run at the IFC. Click HERE for more info on that.
And finally... a film I thought would actually go straight to home video is apparently getting a theatrical release.
Djimon Hounsou and Diane Kruger star in Special Forces, an action film directed by Stéphane Rybojad, which centers on a French special forces team in Afghanistan, sent on a rescue mission to save a kidnapped news reporter.
Hounsou leads the special forces team; Kruger plays the kidnapped news reporter.
Entertainment One Films is releasing the film simultaneously in theaters and on iTunes today. So if you're interested, and it's not playing in your city, you can always download it via iTunes and watch.
Benoît Magimel, Denis Ménochet, and Raphaël Personnaz round out the cast.
And that's it for this weekend, in the USA anyway.
Happy viewing!
WHY | October 13, 2012 10:42 PM
why do you keep putting participant before affrm when affrm is the distributor and participant is the social action piece? i just wonder. automatically leaning toward the white company jus' cause? why is that?
Val | October 13, 2012 8:46 AM
Just a correction; the Landmark Shattuck theater is in Berkeley, not Oakland.
James Madsion | October 13, 2012 2:11 AM
Middle of Nowhere was a good film and there was a great turnout and packed house for the 6:45pm show in NYC. A Q&A followed with Emayatzy Corinealdi, which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. As I was leaving there was a crowd lined up for the following show. Check it out if you can. Recommended.
Langston | October 13, 2012 2:01 AM
Definitely excited about Middle of Nowhere. I need it to hit southeastern VA though, asap. I don't live close enough to the DMV area to see it this weekend.

North Park Demonstration Garden
The Demonstration Garden is sited in front of the Veterans Memorial; the semi-circular stone monument and old cannon provide a unique background for the flowers. The garden, which was started in 1990, encompasses 1800 sq. feet and includes ten annual trial beds, an herb garden, basil and garlic trials and a pollinator garden.
During the growing season, Master Gardeners care for the garden and answer the public's questions on Wednesday evenings from about 4 to 6 p.m. Watering alone, takes about 4 to 5 hours. This year Master Gardeners volunteered a total of 350 hours in the garden.
In October of 2009, the Master Gardeners who volunteer at North Park were recognized by Allegheny County Council for their efforts to maintain the gardens and provide horticultural education to the residents of Allegheny County.
Here is a passage from the proclamation:
Allegheny County Council, on behalf of the citizens of Allegheny County, hereby commends the Master Gardener volunteers who help maintain the North Park Demonstration Garden. We thank everyone involved in beautifying the park and for promoting proper gardening to the residents of our County.

Scarlett Does Dolce; Trump, Lagerfeld Do Fragrance; And More…-------
Scarlett Johansson is back in front of the camera again for Dolce & Gabbana The Makeup's summer color collection. As per usual, she is looking particularly pouty and busty, but this time sporting fuchsia nails, slightly smoked-out eyes, and full brows. [Grazia]
Attention beauty-minded art collectors: Selections from London's Somerset House's René Gruau exhibit honoring the famed Dior illustrator's body of work will be auctioned off at Christie's London tomorrow. If a vintage drawing of a Dior fragrance flacon would really pull that room together, best to ready your bids now. [Bazaar U.K.]
Naturally minded makeup maven Josie Maran was in the vanguard with her argan oil-infused cosmetics collection, but her biggest green-leaning tip has nothing to do with products. "[Take] your clothes to a natural and organic dry cleaner. It is better if your body doesn't absorb chemicals from your clothing on a daily basis," she advises. [T]
Look out for a lot more of the Donald. In addition to a potential bid for the GOP nomination, he has also trademarked a new brand, SUCCESS BY TRUMP, for use in selling "cologne; perfume; fragrances; after-shave lotions; skin moisturizer; shampoo; conditioner; deodorant; soaps for hand, face, and body; body powder; bath oil; bath gel; bath salts; [and] bubble bath." Be afraid. [Gawker]
Also venturing into his own fragrance endeavor: Karl Lagerfeld. The Kaiser is said to be at work on a new perfume called Paper Passion, which reportedly smells of books and contains a "fatty nuance." [Bella Sugar]
A New Exhibition Recalls Vintage Dior Beauty-------
Before celebrities posed and pouted for fashion and beauty campaigns, designers turned to illustrators to create compelling advertisements that would spark the imagination of the buying public. In a new exhibition at London's Somerset House, the iconic work of artist René Gruau, who collaborated with Christian Dior on some of the house's most famed campaigns, takes center stage. Dior Illustrated: René Gruau and the Line of Beauty celebrates Gruau's provocative bold, exaggerated brushstrokes and fluid figures, which perfectly captured "the energy, the sophistication, and daring of Dior," according to John Galliano. The house's current designer designed a special dress in homage to Gruau that's included in the exhibition. Also on view are more than 40 vintage perfume bottles, original sketches, magazine covers, and posters from the Italian artist's 1940′s-to-1960′s prime. Here, curators Claire Catterall and Vincent Leret chat with us over e-mail about the exhibition, which opens tomorrow and runs through January 9, 2011.
Why did you decide to launch an exhibition of Gruau's work now?
Catterall: "There has never been a major showcase of René Gruau's work in the U.K.; in fact, his last big show was in 1997 in the Musée de la Publicité at the Louvre, Paris. This is the first time so many of Gruau's works have been showcased in one place. Also, Gruau seems to be experiencing a bit of 'moment' in London. Serendipitously, as well as being included in the Design Museum's fashion illustration exhibition Drawing Fashion, the Fashion Illustration Gallery in Mayfair is also holding a show of his work—illustrations for the cover of International Textiles magazine."
Tell us how Gruau and Christian Dior first met and became friends.
Leret: "René Gruau and Christian Dior's great friendship dates back to the 1930′s, when both men met on the fashion desk of the French newspaper Le Figaro. They came from the same bourgeois backgrounds, shared the same childhood dreams, and had a very similar upbringing. They both had a strong maternal influence; their mothers were both elegant women from the Belle Époque era who were inspired by their mutual love of luxury and refinement. Each recognized in the other a kindred spirit."

Its obvious the blazer's need to address the point guard position at some point. Everyone knows that we are at our best when we have the ball in Roy's hands. So how could we bring in a shooter who can play D and at the same time fit the culture and talent level in Portland? The key to this trade is having Rubio on board. If ricky rubio says he would come to memphis then this trade is perfect for all teams involved
OJ Mayo
Portland now has batum guarding the point. Roy and Mayo sharing time at the point. Your longer and more physical on D. Plus you got Conley who shot close to 40 percent from 3 last year coming off your bench with mathews,camby, pryz, cunningham, williams. Plus you make room for patty and the conley situation will help oden. How great will mayo,roy,oden,La and batum be in halfcourt. It just works
Hasheen Thabeet
Portland's 1st
Memphis 1st
I know what your thinking! noway minnesota gives up rubio, but its obvious that he will never play their, and with that you should keep in mind that a situation where he is playing with 5 of his fellow country men would probably change his mind. Minnesota gets better either way you look at it with this trade. Now you have: Love, 1st round pick Westly Johnson, Johnny flynn, Webster, and Darko. Their bench would have: Rid, Beasly, Haseem, Brewer, and bayless. Wow! A pretty solid 10 with 3 first round picks for 2011. They wont make the playoffs this year, but they may in a few years. They know this and i think they would pull the trigger.
Calderon (Raptors)
This team needs a new idenity and passing up rubio a couple of years ago was probably a big mistake. Ok look at this line up, you have Rubio and Calderon paired up with randolph, Gay and Gasol. You have Victor Claver and Rudy coming of the bench. The spanish connection will sell, talk about an exciting team. Randolph comes off the book and you have your future point guard for the next 10 years. Im not sure if mayo would stick around for the long term and they want to move conley so this trade works.
Stemisma(from min)
Raptors want to move Calderon, and miller might be a step up from him. Plus he comes off the book next year and he could be major trade bait with the addition to reggie evans 5 million expiring contract. The Raptors are hurting right now, and miller could be the guy who provides the ally oops to derozen and amir. They like to spread it out like the Sun's and miller fits that style of play

The No. 8 Stanford Cardinal travel to Seattle on Thursday to take on the Washington Huskies at CenturyLink Field, looking to keep their win streak going against another talented Pac-12 foe.
Rule of Tree's Todd Husak breaks down some of the keys for the Cardinal this week, which includes a quick start from quarterback Josh Nunes:
Nunes is making his first road start and will be tested by the atmosphere of a pro stadium packed by one of the more intense fan bases in the Pac-12. The best way to quiet the crowd is to score early, avoid sacks or big defensive plays, and don't give the 60,000 in attendance a reason to cheer. That includes eliminating false starts and keeping audibles to a low number.
As for the Huskies, they are dealing with a number of key injuries and will need to keep quarterback Keith Price upright if they want to keep up with the Card this Thursday.
Time, Location: Thursday, Sept. 27 at 9 p.m. ET, CenturyLink Field, Seattle
Coverage: ESPN, Watch ESPN
Spread: Stanford is favored by seven points

The light makes you look like you have one of those Oompa Loompa tans from overuse of a tanning bed.
Or perhaps you actually do, I don't know.
I did 3 45 to 50 hour weekends in a row doing a bit of work for some outdoor fests in pretty much the hottest period of this year so far. My farmer tan is massive...the rest of my body does not match.

Cabernet Stout - Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery

4.08/5 rDev -7.1%
Stout aged in a cabernet wine barrel. Mmm.
Pretty solid black, just a bit of brown at the bottom, thin coco colored head. The aroma is full of chocolate, coco powder, and charred malt, with some delicate wine textures in the background. A lot more wine in the taste, atleast at first there is a burst of dry red wine and grapes. Then the chocolatey stout flavors slowly fade in as the wine fades back. Very smooth and silky, medium to heavy body. Almost a bit milky in the aftertaste with some dry wine.
Overall: one or two of these are great sippers, but this is definitely not a session brew, a little too much wine flavor for that. Its an interesting contrast of the dark vinous grape flavors with the chocolatey stout. I liked their merlot stout that was out a few months ago a little more, it seemed a bit darker red and dry, where as the cab stout seemed a little too fruity and maybe a bit cloying. Either way this is a good beer, and more than worth a try.

Black body. Creamy light brown head with great staying power. Decent amounts of lace. The aroma is fantastic. Juicy red wine notes mix to perfection with deep roasted malt tones. A little alcohol is noted as well which blends in nicely. The flavors I perceive are chocolate, char, wine and roasty bitterness. A very agreeable combination to my palate. The "cask" feel to this is quite velvety and silky. This leads to quite the easy drinking stout. Very enjoyable.

As a devotee of Ireland's famous black, roasty ale, I've enjoyed stouts in uncounted variations, with myriad twists and turns, melded, mixed and married with numerous fruits, spices, berries, vegetables,nuts, beans, etcetera. So, why was I surprised by this new cask offering, why is my imagination so puny as to never predict this interesting take on the style? That's why there are brewers like Hoops, and pubs like Town Hall!
Color is a full brown, reddish around the edges, with a tidy creamy tan head atop.
Aroma is soft, creamy, with light fruitiness, and just the start of a suggestion of the work of the vine that has permeated and blended so mellifulously with this ale. (I never asked exactly how they created this masterpiece, I merely drank and enjoyed!)
Once on the mouth, pure pleasure, nothing but. Nothing really stands out, not a part steps forward, but what you have is an fine, if rudimentary stout, with the soft, sweet, but still dry-ish, and very mellow cabernet flavorings riding underneath, and coating the mouth. The combination is supreme!
This is an interesting idea, magnificently executed...hops are mild, malt is lush and luxuriant, and the finish is a never-ending delight. Texture smooth and wonderful, flavor is a consistent joy!
If this were bottled, it would set the world on fire! I'd have it by my side at every occasion I could and wave it around for all to see. (As I did last night at the anniversary party).
One fantastic beer! Another triumph for Town Hall!

BOSTON (AP) - Gov. Deval Patrick has appointed a newly expanded, seven-member board of directors for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
Patrick reappointed four members of the existing board and added two new members. Transportation Secretary Richard Davey will serve as an ex-officio member of the panel.
A new law passed by the Legislation in July expanded the board from five to seven members.
Patrick said the new board has the expertise needed to help the state meet the challenges needed to maintain and improve its transportation system.
The Board will be chaired by John Jenkins, who served as chairman of both the old MassDOT and MBTA Boards before they were dissolved.
The other members of the expanded board are Alan Macdonald, Joseph Bonfiglio, Ferdinand Alvaro, Janice Loux, and Andrew Whittle.

Close your eyes.
Picture Jose Aldo beating the tar out of Mike Brown to initially win the WEC featherweight title. Then picture him hammering away at Urijah Faber's legs for five rounds. Finish it off by visualizing his massacre of challenger Manny Gamburyan at WEC 52.
Scary, huh?
What's even more terrifying is the recently revealed fact that "Scarface" did it all with a bum shoulder.
The UFC featherweight champ casually mentioned the previous injuries when explaining the reason he pulled out of his original title defense against Josh Grispi, which was scheduled for Jan. 1, 2011, to reporters during the UFC 129 conference call today.
Here's his story:
"There are two things that were bothering me. The first was on my neck, C5 and C6 [vertebrae], there was some pain on the disk. The main injury was my right shoulder which I think I injured during the Mike Brown fight. After that I still fought Urijah Faber and Manny Gamburyan. In both those fights, I felt my shoulder, especially fighting a wrestler like Faber, defending the takedowns, it put a lot of wear on my shoulder. I felt I just needed some time off to get back to 100 percent. I just needed rehab, not surgery."
Well rested. Hungry. And now healthy.
It's perhaps bad news for his opponent at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Mark Hominick. Then again, "The Machine" is on a five-fight tear, finishing four of those opponents.
He's been busy. Hungry. And also healthy.
Care to take a guess which combination will emerge victorious on fight night?

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - If the annoying itchy pollen seems to be bugging sinuses a little more this year, there's a perfectly legitimate reason for that.
A Sinus specialist says the abnormally cold Winter has caused pollen levels to increase drastically, leaving a thick layer on cars, and sinuses begging for mercy.
Normally trees begin to bud in December and January but the weather was too cold. That's why hard wood trees - some including pines, oaks, and maples - are budding at the same time.
The current pollen count for trees is 4,700. A normal level this time of year is in the low hundreds. That's nearly 25 times higher than last year.
"We've had a tremendous increase in the amount of pollen over the last few weeks and as a result of that we've had an increase in the number of patients complaining of these problems," said PA Nancy McKemie with Allergy & Asthma Clinic of Albany. "We've noticed a large amount of pollen this year than in the past few years."
Pecan trees are expected to start pollinating soon. McKemie expects the yellow-green build-up to continue over the next few weeks. She also recommends an over-the-counter antihistamine or nasal steroid.

NHS and Food Shelf Awareness Month
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 0
It's food shelf awareness month and the Kimball Area Food Shelf has just happily recieved a large donation from the Kimball Area National Honor Society to kick it off. In the middle of February, the organization held a food drive at the high school. There was a competition between grades to bring in the most food to win a trip tubing at Powder Ridge. The eighth grade took the lead bringing in a total of 252.6 pounds of food and $241.72. In addition to the first place winning a trip tubing at Powder Ridge, the grade coming in last place will have to clean the ditches along the stretch of highway the school holds with the Adopt-a-Highway program. The grade coming in last place was 10th grade. They will be cleaning the ditches in the spring once the snow has melted. Overall, the food drive was a success. As a school, a total of 1065.21 lbs and $940.25 was brought in. This was one of the manyÊprojects the Kimball NHS has completed over the course of the year. There are still more to come, so keep your eye out for the good works done by the Kimball Area National Honor Society.

Earlier in the week Memphis Mayor A C Wharton was among those who enjoyed the hospitality as the White House played host to a memorable Memphis music tribute.
So, it's quite possible when President Barack Obama asked him to be listen in on a teleconference with other mayors on Thursday, he already knew the subject matter. Wharton as a country music lover might have silently hummed to himself the classic, "Here's a Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares."
Waiting on a business conference call can often create anxiety. But, judging by the rather ho-hum look on Mayor Wharton's face, you might never guess who'd be on the other end when the call finally came.
"Hello, everybody. This is Barack Obama."
So, why wouldn't an upbeat greeting from the President of the United States not illicit even a hint of excitement inside the mayor's city hall conference room? Especially, since the topic of discussion was the offer of federal help to encourage communities to create more summer jobs for the nation's youth.
"You get young people in the habits of work early and they keep working," the president said on the conference call. "If you lose them early, often times it's very hard to get them back."
The President is offering to expand the summer jobs plus program aimed at partnering business and government to work together in finding summer employment and mentorships for thousands of children. Part of the offer is to provide a "tool kit" of information, company contacts and an unspecified financial enhancement to those who participate.
"What we found is that where this works best is where you've got strong local commitment and strong local partnerships and the great thing about mayors and county executives is people know you," the President said.
With that and a few testimonials from mayors on hand at the White House to sing the program's praises over the phone, the conference was over. Now it came time for a previously silent Mayor Wharton to issue a reality check.
Thanks, but, no thanks, Mr. President.
"What we're focusing on in Memphis is getting them ready, not necessarily putting them on a job," the mayor said. "Because in many instances the jobs were basically 'make work' kind of stuff, which gave the children the wrong impression of what work is all about."
But, wait a minute, Mr. Mayor. Isn't any job better than none in a state where youth summer employment is among the lowest in the nation? Granted, after a 2009 city hall debacle found a number of employed teens rightfully grousing about not being paid for their work, Mayor Wharton moved to insure it wouldn't happen again.
From the ashes, rose the "Ambassador Program" in which 2,500 children had to enter a lottery to be placed in 500 available jobs in a year round program that included fitness training and community service. It was soon joined by the federally funded "win program" focused on readying 400 students for college and the work force.
Mr. Wharton says he has high hopes a new arrangement with the Cigna company will provide more than just briefly filled young bellies this summer.
"A summer lunch program where kids will be brought into environments where they'll not simply run and grab a lunch, there will be someone to talk to them about healthy living, how to develop job skills," he said.
So, it was good to hear your voice Mr. President, but, maybe next time, hope you don't mind if we pre-screen the nature of your call first.

Manchester High School girls team looks to keep on getting better
HALEDON - This is Dave Sposato's fifth season as Manchester High School girls basketball head coach and he has seen his team increase its win total for the first four years.
Now for the 2012-13 season he is looking for a better than .500 record.
Last season, the Lady Falcons just missed out on that goal with a 10-12 mark, but did make the state playoffs for the second straight year.
"We've improved each year and had two, six, eight and 10 wins the first four years and we are looking to get the winning record," said Sposato.
For this season Sposato has several players returning, but will be missing the top player in graduated-senior point guard Maya Legette,
The top players returning are senior forward Samantha LeGreaux, sophomore guard Erica Mastrolia, junior forward Katherine Ajami, senior forward Makedah Simpson and senior center Timoni George.
Sposato is looking for a bigger game from LeGreaux (5-6), who averaged 14 points a game last season.
"She is good with the ball and is very good player," said Sposato about LeGreaux, who was first team All North Jersey Interscholastic Conference (NJIC) last season. "She has definitely improved in her ball handling and defense."
Ajami (5-6) was All NJIC honorable mention player last season.
"She is a girl who might not have a great line, but will help contribute in the aspects of the game that don't show up on the stat sheet," said Sposato. "She will help with the rebounding underneath."
In Mastrolia, the Manchester head coach has seen improvement in her in the preseason.
"She has looked good in the scrimmages and is an outside shooter," said Sposato. "She can help spread the court."
One of the newcomers who might make a mark this season is forward Kadija Sellers, a transfer from South Carolina.
"She heard that I was the girls basketball coach," said Sposato, who added that her number one sport is track and field and is the fastest player on the floor many times. "We don't have an indoor track team...She's looked phenomenal in the scrimmages. She is a very good rebounder and a great defender."
The other players going to see time on the floor are Simpson (5-4), George (5-9) and senior guard Rena Ayoub (5-4).
According to Sposato, the toughest teams in the NJIC Colonial division are Glen Rock and Eastern Christian. The Lady Falcons will get their first test on Dec. 18 when they host the Lady Eagles.

Signs you need marriage counselling
ALL marriages have their hiccups, but unfortunately for some couples, the issues never go away without some form of intervention.
But instead of speaking to each other or others about the issues, a protective blanket of shame is sometimes used to cover the problems, further magnifying the situation. This oftentimes leads to discontent and, unfortunately, in some cases, to divorce.
However, when a sense of hopelessness and helplessness takes over a relationship, probably one of the best persons to turn to is a marriage counsellor. This person would be better able to take an objective look at the situation and offer guidance.
"If you are a in a relationship and you are not able to solve the problems yourself, it simply means that you may need to seek help from somebody, whether it be a professional or some other expert," said marriage counsellor Dr Alma Blair.
Dr Blair said sometimes the couples actually have the solutions to the issues they are facing and this usually comes out during the counselling sessions.
"They (counsellors) help to guide the couples. In most cases the people are the ones who actually find the solutions. What the marriage counsellor does is ask the questions that allow the persons to realise the answer to varying questions and helps to guide them into finding solutions for the problems."
If your relationship has lost its spark, visiting an expert could help. Here are some of the signs that you need to see a marriage counsellor.
1. You are contemplating divorce.
Before you sign on the dotted line, try to speak to a mediator first. A marriage counsellor might just enable you or your husband to face the challenges affecting your relationship head on. Divorce is a big leap, at least try every avenue available to you before you officially put an end to your union.
2. You are dealing with infidelity issues.
Finding out you have been cheated on is a hard blow that can create tension and anxiety in a relationship. Maybe you have already made up your mind that you won't trust your spouse again, but seeking marriage counselling might just help you to get answers as to why your partner might have cheated. If the union produced children, then you would still need to learn how to talk to them about what you and your spouse are going through.
3. You can't communicate honestly.
Communication is probably the most basic requisite for a sustainable relationship, and if you and your spouse are not able to honestly discuss issues, then you most definitely will need to speak to a marriage counsellor. This person could guide you about how to create an environment for open discussion with your spouse.
4. You feel alone or lonely in your marriage.
Sometimes couples get so busy focusing on securing a paycheque, that they fail to give notice to each other. This usually results in one or both partners feeling lonely and depressed. Once loneliness seeps in, then the emotional connection between two people is usually broken and instead of being lovers, they become like two strangers. A marriage counsellor can help guide you back to the place where you were during courtship when you didn't want to be separated from each other.
5. You don't remember why you got married.
You no longer feel any passion towards your spouse. Your disinterest could be sparked by your dissatisfaction with the relationship. If you are going to last as a couple, you will need to get to the root cause for these feelings towards your spouse. A marriage counsellor can help you dissect the issue and tackle the causes of your dissatisfaction.
6. You have become verbally abusive.
If you tend to be very angry towards your spouse for no particular reason, before you escalate to physically abusing your partner, it would be best to address this emotion. A marriage counsellor's intervention is crucial to helping you to assess the reason for your new attitude.
