JOHNSTOWN, NY – The Johnstown Fire Department responded to a fire call at 119 S. Melcher St. today at 1:45 p.m.
There were no injuries. Fire was contained to the attic, but there is major water damage in the upstairs apartment. The structure is a two-family residence, with an apartment downstairs and one upstairs.
The fire was knocked down in approximately 20 minutes. The building is now uninhabitable, but not a total loss.
The Gloversville Fire Department assisted. And the Red Cross is helping the displaced residents.
The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental, with an electrical problem being investigated before the fire.

DIY Project: Easy Table Centrepiece
For our wedding we made our own bouquets, but it wasn't until afterwards that I realised we could have easily made the table top flower arrangements too if I'd known about these simple florist tricks!
If you're not into the whole "mason jar with wild flowers" look and you'd like something more traditional without the big price tag, these centrepieces would be just the ticket.
All you need is a small selection of flowers and some florist bits and pieces.
Check out all the steps at our crafty column on the beautiful Julep blog for Minted.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Star Spangled Portfolio (Final)
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener and watch Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Old dogs may not be able to learn new tricks, but Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Tuesday that old companies sure can. That's why Cramer said it pays to own not just the hottest growth stocks, but also to invest in great American companies with a long history of reinventing themselves.
On a day when Apple (AAPL), a stock which Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, reported yet another blowout quarter, Cramer reiterated that Apple should be viewed as an investment and not a short-term trade. He said the company continues to fire on all cylinders and shares remain far too cheap.But there are other non-Apple standouts in this market, Cramer reminded viewers, companies like 3M (MMM), AT&T (T), Honeywell (HON), Eaton (ETN) and IBM (IBM), another Action Alerts PLUS holding. Cramer said all of these companies have posted strong earnings and offer solid dividend protection to boot. AT&T continues to push forward with the iPhone, while Eaton and Honeywell are making strides in energy efficiency. IBM just announced a meaningful stock repurchase program, said Cramer, while 3M has decades of dividend raises under its belt. Looking for even more great names to invest in? Cramer also recommended United Technologies (UTX), DuPont (DD), PPG Industries (PPG) and General Electric (GE) as another group of notable mentions. Cramer said of course the high growth names like Apple, along with Starbucks (SBUX) and Allergan (AGN) should also be in investors' portfolios, but not to the exclusion of these outstanding old-line companies.
Executive DecisionIn the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Farooq Kathwari, chairman, president and CEO of Ethan Allen (ETH), a stock that's down 10% so far this year, despite the company reporting a 1-cent-a-share earnings beat on an 8% rise in revenue. Kathwari said that the recession afforded Ethan Allen an excellent opportunity to reposition itself for growth and that's exactly what the company has been doing. He said every quarter earnings have been increasing faster than revenues, as the company levers itself into increased efficiency. Ethan Allen is also rewarding shareholders with a recent 29% boost in its dividend.

New Face Fridays Interview with MyAnna Buring (Tanya)!
Welcome to another interview for New Face Fridays! Together with our other favorite Twilight fan sites, we have the wonderful opportunity to interview the new faces of vampires in Breaking Dawn Part 2! Last week we kicked off the New Face Fridays with Casey LaBow who plays Kate of the Denali Coven. This week, our interview is with the beautiful MyAnna Buring who plays vegetarian vampire, sister to Kate and close Cullen family friend, Tanya of the Denali Coven in Alaska. MyAnna talks about seeing herself for the first time as Tanya, her favorite moments working on Breaking Dawn and her new role on Downton Abbey!
Q: A lot of people who are cast talk about the very first time they see themselves in their red or gold contacts, and that's the first time they really felt like a vampire. Can you describe what it was like for us the very first time you saw yourself all decked out in your vampire gear?
MyAnna: It was amazing. I think that's the first moment that I really, truly, believed that I was doing the film. Because all of it, you know, you have this build up when you get the part and you can't quite believe it's true then, and then you arrive and you still can't quite believe it's true then. The idea of you becoming a vampire, or becoming part of this incredible group of vampires that's described in Stephanie's films, it's such a far fetched notion in a way, and then all of a sudden as soon as the contacts go in, it's a reality. Suddenly you are able to see yourself as apart of that group, if you will, and it's amazing feeling.
Q: Congrats on being cast in Downton Abbey. Can you tell us a little about that part and when you are starting to work on it?
MyAnna: I've already started working on it. I play a maid who joins the rest of the staff downstairs. She causes a bit of mischief and I'm very excited to be playing, her name is Edna, and I'm thrilled, really.
Read our entire interview with MyAnna Buring at Twifans!
I really enjoyed talking with MyAnna and working with the other Twilight fan sites again! Tune in every Friday until the end of October to read new interviews with the New Face Fridays Breaking Dawn Part 2 cast!8 Comments

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –A 42 year old Bainbridge man shot and killed his companion and their seven year old son Saturday night.
Child molestation charges were pending against James Bubba Reynolds the third.
Reynolds shot and killed 31-year old Tonia Swords, their seven year old son, Kahm Reynolds, then killed himself.
Sword's Mother says Tonia Swords had left Reynolds, but he tricked her into going with him to buy clothes for their son.
Wanda Swords said "Because he claimed he loved her so much. He said if he could not have her, he did not want anyone else to have her. And he didn't want nobody to raise his son."
Tonia Swords had two daughters, who are now staying with their grandmother.

Thursday night, Phoenix Police raided a business under investigation for the illegal sale of marijuana.
The business, called "Vapor Lounge," is located near 43rd Ave and Dunlap. It appeared to be a medical marijuana dispensary, but it was not licensed.
Customers came in and paid a "donation" to receive marijuana. Phoenix Police Sgt. Steve Martos says the business also sold edibles with liquid THC, which is illegal in Arizona.
Five to 10 people were detained, some of whom were employees.

A new business is scheduled to open Friday on the Murfreesboro Town Square and it has people talking.Body Boutique, an adult sexual oriented store, carrying lingerie, body paint and sex toys, is opening on the historic square.The owner, Sarah Baldwin, has been bringing in boxes and stocking the shelves primarily in the evenings, said Randy Smotherman, who runs 'Smotherman Antiques' two doors down from the store.
Smotherman told Nashville's News 2 he's unhappy that an adult-oriented sex store is opening on the Square.
"We just want to make people feel welcome, whole families welcome, and I'm afraid that's something we could lose," he said.
Baldwin has not filed for a business license, but Murfreesboro doesn't require one until 20 days after opening.A city ordinance regulates adult-oriented businesses on Mufreesboro's town square.
Items of a sexual nature cannot make up more than 20% of a store's revenue or inventory.
"Of course they haven't finished stocking,but if they were to open today, yes they're over 20%," said Smotherman.
On Wednesday, dozens of people stopped in front of the store out of curiosity.
A mother walking with her child moved away from the store front as they passed by.
"They shouldn't have to shield their children from something on the downtown square," said Smotherman. "It's a home town. I grew up here, and it's always been a very wholesome place."
A city ordinance regulates adult oriented businesses on the square. Inventory, revenue or floor space can not make up more than 20% of the business.The city planner will inspect Body Boutique on Friday, and if it meets those requirements, it can open later in the day.While some people feel the store may too explicit for this small town, others don't see what the fuss is all about.

Whenever the residents of Radiator Springs are down a quart, they drive straight to the V8 Café where Flo serves up stacks of oil cans alongside all the pumps. Here's how you and your child can recycle plastic containers into decorative stackable holders to fill with anything from toy cars to coins.
For each holder, you'll need:
- Empty plastic frosting container (or similar container) with its cover
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Craft paper (yellow, blue, and red)
- Glue stick
- Template for Oil Can Holders
- Red colored pencil or marker
1. Measure the height of the container from just below the lid to the bottom. Using that measurement as the width, cut a strip of yellow craft paper long enough to go around the container with a little overlap. Then cut another strip, 1/2-inch narrower, from blue craft paper.
2. Glue the blue paper strip atop the yellow one, centering it as shown.
3. Wrap the two-layer strip around the container and glue together the overlapping ends.
4. For a label, print out the template and use the pieces to cut shapes out of the specified colors of paper.
5. Now glue the red circle atop the yellow circle, and the yellow stripe atop the red stripe. Glue the 2-layer stripe atop the 2-layer circle, setting it at an angle as shown.
6. Print the name of the items your child plans to store in the container on the center of the label. Then glue the label onto the container.

Just Wondering...

It's a 19 day run... closing on Tuesdays, the lowest attendance day, gives the exhibitors, vendors, and employees a chance to change their socks.. and restock.
on Jul 5, 2010 at 6:58 pm
According to the people who run the fair, it is a money losing proposition. They close, as stated above, on the slowest day. With the sloppy work putting the rides together and the wasp stings maybe they will call it a day and not open next year after the lawsuits are over.
on Jul 5, 2010 at 8:00 pm
too much stingy bee activity...
on Jul 5, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I believe the "closed on Tuesday" practice began last year, in conjunction with a longer run of the fair in Pleasanton. It does make sense, and I think the idea is that it gives the fair workers (carneys?) a day off to rest up and to look around the town. As the above posters said, Tuesdays are the slowest day of the fair, historically, and I believe that the horseraces were "dark" on Tuesdays before this, giving the horses and the jockeys a day off as well. In the end, I think it ends up a plus on the profit side, with the longer 19-day run.
on Jul 7, 2010 at 10:02 am
And they knew about the hornets before the stingfest on the Fireworks night. Again common sense is lacking. Get rid of the nests.
on Jul 7, 2010 at 12:41 pm
The Fair is closed on Tuesdays because with the additional days of horse racing, it would have made the fair a 19 day fair instead of the 17 day fair that was originally budgeted for. Tuesdays are a slow day without racing so it makes sense financially to close and give the employees, vendors and partners a day off. Instead of $2 Tuesdays we offered $3 Wacky Wednesdays so as to give the public another discounted promotional day.
On another note, the wasps in that particular area have been exterminated. There are many bee hives on the grounds with over 2000 trees it is to be expected, however, there was no knowledge of the ground burrowing yellow jacket (wasp family) hives by the Grandstands.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

AMERICA/MEXICO - No to Halloween, "we must enhance our traditions", says the Bishop of Aguascalientes
Aguascalientes (Agenzia Fides) - On the occasion of the feast of All Saints and All Souls' Day, November 1 and 2, the Bishop of Aguascalientes, His Exc. Mgr. José María de la Torre Martin, called on the faithful and the whole community to preserve and promote their Christian traditions and not to encourage the spread of "Halloween", to be considered a business of terror.
In the note sent to Fides Agency, the Bishop points out that "Hollywood has undoubtedly contributed to the spread of Halloween with a series of films where violence and murder create a morbid state of anguish and anxiety towards viewers". As if there was not already violence on our streets, comments the Bishop, who only a few days ago had denounced "the overwhelming wave of violence and insecurity that the country is experiencing" (see Fides 29/10/2013). Halloween "also aims to encourage the imitation of North American customs only because this country has the reputation of being superior", he added .
Mgr. José María de la Torre Martin points out that the commemoration of the dead is a deeply rooted tradition in the people of Mexico: In addition to remembering the dead it should also be an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of our existence. Christian faith is a faith that looks beyond the grave, it is a faith that believes in eternal life. "I encourage everyone to take this opportunity and to share the meaning of this celebration with children and young people" urges the Bishop, recalling that "we need to highlight the richness of our traditions to pass on to future generations". (CE) (Agenzia Fides 31/10/2013)

The question was recently posed to me as to whom is greater - Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Roy Jones Jr. After thinking about it for a bit, they're actually extraordinarily close to me. Of course, Mayweather still has the opportunity to improve his resume, while Jones is toast (although I myself pretty much discount everything he's done or not since 2005).
When I think about each of their top 10 wins, here's how I would rank them in the aggregate:
1. Jones over Toney
2. Jones over Hopkins
3. Mayweather over Castillo II
4. Mayweather over Corrales
5. Mayweather over Castillo I
6. Mayweather over Cotto
7. Jones over Ruiz
8. Jones over Hill
9. Mayweather over DLH
10. Jones over Tarver
11. Jones over Griffin
12. Mayweather over Marquez
13. Jones over McCallum
14. Mayweather over Hatton
15. Jones over Gonzalez
16. Mayweather over Chavez
17. Jones over Woods
18. Mayweather over Mosley
19. Mayweather over Hernandez
20. Jones over Tate
In the end, I think Jones has a very slight edge right now on the strength of his best two wins, but I wouldn't argue too hard if someone thought Mayweather was better. I personally don't take Jones's losses too seriously since I don't think he clearly lost a fight until he was well past prime. Both have a lot of similarities, especially in terms of avoiding a lot of fighters and facing a number of their better opponents either outside of their best weight classes or when they were close to being done.
What do you think?

PLATTSBURGH — Themes of identity — personal and national — vibrate at the core of Jose Torres's debut novel, "The Accidental Native," published by Arte Publico Press.
Torres has penned a tender but unflinching love/hate story about Puerto Rico as glimpsed through the eyes of Rene "Rennie" Falto, a Nuyorican (New York-Puerto Rican) who returns to his ancestral homeland to bury his parents, who died in a tragic accident.
Upon pressured reflection and a job offer, he returns to reconnect the umbilical between himself and his biological mother, Julia Matos Canales, a fiery attorney and independentista who made a mommy-dearest confession at his parents' grave site in Bana.
Rennie also seeks to bridge the ruptured connectivity between him and the place he would call home, the Enchanted Island. He teaches at La Universidad de Bana, where there are cancer-cluster-zone whispers about the campus, a former U.S. military base.
As Falto navigates his new life, he tries to find national pride and love against the backdrop of students who strike in a conga line.
Torres wrote much of the book while a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Barcelona, Spain. He spent a sabbatical away from SUNY Plattsburgh, where he is a professor of English.
In "The Accidental Native," art imitates life. Puerto Rico is glimpsed in all its schizoid independence/statehood glory from Falto's insider/outside lens that is Torres' also.
"I lived there from 1981 to 2000 with four years in between when I was away for my Ph.D.," Torres said.
"During that period, I was very much like the character. Then, I came back to the states and thought that would make a very good novel about going back. There is no book about Puerto Ricans' return migration. I thought that was a really good idea for a book, and that started me on the road for writing it."

Colin Powell @meetthepress challenges gop on "lazy" codewords—
Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) January 13, 2013
Sigh. This is really getting old. Talk about the boy who cried dog whistle! The old "code words" rears its head again: Get ready for more entries in the Handbook of Racial Code Words. "Aloof" isn't the end of it, evidently.
Gen. Colin Powell just indicted GOP rhetoric for racist dog whistling! Calling Pres. Obama "lazy" implies calling him a "shiftless" … #mtp—
Eric Freeman (@darthouse) January 13, 2013
We reported earlier that Colin Powell blasted "birthers" on "Meet the Press" this morning, because, you know, that's the most pressing issue of our time. Andrea Mitchell doubled down and implied that the "birther movement" was GOP policy. Powell continued the inanity.
@JonahNRO serious Q. Did anyone see this whole Colin Powell flip coming all the yrs? He's basically becoming Chris Matthews w/o the spittle.—
Ryan 2016 (@DraftRyan2016) January 13, 2013
Heh. And he let it fly on this morning. Cue the ominous music: The GOP has a "dark vein of intolerance."
Powell on GOP: "There's a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party" #MTP—
Meet The Press (@meetthepress) January 13, 2013
Powell says some in the GOP "still sort of look down on minorities:" – calls it a "dark vein" of intolerance.—
Francesca Chambers (@fran_chambers) January 13, 2013

What a crock. MT @politico: Colin Powell says the GOP has a 'dark vein of intolerance.'—

"Dark vein"? RT @meetthepress: Powell on GOP: "There's a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party" #MTP—
Sister Toldjah (@sistertoldjah) January 13, 2013
Yes, dark vein? How racist, Mr. Powell. But, wait. There's more.
"When I see a former governor (Palin) say that the president is 'shuckin' and jivin' — that's a racial-era slave term," said Powell.—
LRD90 (47%er) (@LRD90) January 13, 2013
Sec. Powell references Palin's use of "shuckin' & jivin'" and calls out use of coded racist language by some in GOP #Meetthepress #MTP—
Catholic Democrats (@CatholicDems) January 13, 2013
Sarah Palin already epically smacked down that charge of racism. And now Twitter users are smacking down Powell. They are calling him out for his pitiful race card playing, and for continuing to insist that he is a Republican, even after supporting Barack Obama for president. Both times.
In name only..RT@fran_chambers: After defending Hillary Clinton on #MTP, Colin Powell insists he's still a Republican.—
Heather Lee (@hleecar) January 13, 2013
Left scared about something. Brought in their big gun Colin Powell to play race card on Meet The Press. General RINO.—

I have news for Colin Powell. There is racism on the Democratic side as well. But the corrupt #msm refuses to call out #TGDN #TCOT—
Tejas Conservative (@TXGaryM) January 13, 2013
Dems are tolerant of opposing views? RT @meetthepress: Powell on GOP: "There's a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party" #MTP—
Sean Hannity's Hair (@SHannitysHair) January 13, 2013
Yep. Twitchy has documented many such instances of leftist racism and intolerance. From Powell? Crickets.
The most famous RINO of all Colin Powell lecturing America on guns and "intolerance" of the GOP is giving me my daily dose of LOL—
Liberty Watchman (@libertygaurdian) January 13, 2013
@AriFleischer Has Colin Powell always held these liberal views, or this a recent development? I'm legitimately asking, thank you—
Vicki (@rookietweeter) January 13, 2013
Meet the Press…Colin Powell talked about Rep attacks on Obama but I do not remember him defending Romney from the vicious attacks by Dems.—
John Swinford (@arthur23) January 13, 2013
Shorter @meetthepress: Isn't Colin Powell wonderful?! He's a 'responsible' GOP. Newsflash: He's a lib who used Bush to get ahead. #tcot—

Colin Powell tearing down Republican Party on Meet The Press. What a hypocrite.—

Colin Powell Endorsed Barack Obama Twice. Why would Anyone consider him a Republican at this point?—

Hey remember when the racist GOP asked Colin Powell to run twice for President and he turned them down because you know..racists?—
S.M (@redsteeze) January 13, 2013
That must be some of that there "subtle" racism or something. Like peanut butter sammiches.
And this Twitter users sums it all up.
I prefer a meritocracy to a society that rewards people for things they have no control over such as skin color & gender. I'm a monster—
Harold Stickeehands (@StickeeNotes) January 13, 2013
@redsteeze @IamPhreedah Rice, Gonzales, Chao, Michael Powell, and the list goes on and on and on—
Harold Stickeehands (@StickeeNotes) January 13, 2013
The GOP's resistance to Hagel is clear evidence of their subtle disdain for people of color. Hagel is white? Umm.. Umm.. Shut up, racists!!!—
Harold Stickeehands (@StickeeNotes) January 13, 2013
If Obama nominated Thomas Sowell to any high office, would there be a single GOP vote of "no." It's almost like it's political & not racial.—
Harold Stickeehands (@StickeeNotes) January 13, 2013
I don't dislike Obama because of his race. I dislike him for the same reasons I dislike Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi & the Kennedy Klan.—
Harold Stickeehands (@StickeeNotes) January 13, 2013
But, you know, it's far easier to just trot out the race card, even if that means disgracefully diminishing actual acts of racism. Here's a lesson for you, Mr. Powell: If everything in the entire world, including the word "lazy" is racist, then nothing is.
A second tip: Get out of your Beltway Bubble once in a while and talk to some people.
@sidi88 @angmrrsn Do you think minorities are not part of the Republican Party? I'm Cuban, 35 and Republican. We are not entitled.—

Ronald K. Chen has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to stand up for civil and human rights, even when doing so might not be popular. His broad range of expertise extends from civil and individual rights to commercial speech to Constitutional law to Megan's law. Over the last several years he has argued a number of high-profile cases before the New Jersey Supreme Court and the Third Circuit, ranging from the Constitutionality of Megan's law, government religious displays, New Jersey's hate crimes statute, and New Jersey kosher enforcement regulations. Chen serves on both the national and New Jersey affiliate boards of the American Civil Liberties Union, and is on the editorial board of the New Jersey Law Journal.
Chen also is a member of the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, the Third Circuit Lawyers Advisory Committee, and the N.J. Supreme Court Committee on Bar Admissions.

Hey! We beat ASU. Yay. Go Bears! But can Cal beat Arizona? They're only, like really good. But that analysis was terrible. Let's read some analysis from somebody who actually knows something about Arizona basketball. Arizona Desert Swarm, our SBN siblings. Fun times. Check it behind the fold and GO BEARS!
3. Basketball-wise, who would you like to punch in the face right now?
5. Who is the #1 most dangerous guy on offense that Cal fans should be crying about?
Cal should be worried about Derrick Williams. The freshman is averaging 15/7, and is really starting to come into his own as a player.

RUGBY UNION: Burnell praises team spirit
Updated 5:23pm Monday 20th January 2014 in Rugby
Head coach Justin Burnell heralded London Welsh's spirit after watching his side overturn a 15-point deficit to beat London Scottish.
"At 18-3, it wasn't looking good, but the spirit never went from us," said Burnell.
"Just before Christmas against Bedford and London Scottish, we just seemed to lack that bit of spirit, but today it was there.
"The bench once again made a difference for us.
"I was very pleased with the win.
"Everybody would have expected me to rant and rave at half-time, but I didn't. We just sat down quite calmly and assessed where we were at.
"The boys were trying. It was just the composure in our game in certain areas.
"We addressed that and got the well-deserved win.
"We scored two tries and looked as if we wanted to play. They never really looked as if they wanted to play.
"They're a very good defensive team and they just wanted to defend against us."
Top of the Greene King IPA Championship table, Welsh return to league action next Sunday when they take on third placed Leeds Carnegie at the Kassam Stadium.
"We lost two games and we're now in the process of going back into the Championship campaign – it's all about getting back to Oxford and a big performance against Leeds," said Burnell.

I like Alvin Gentry. He's a great coach on a winning team. But when it comes to a team that needs motivation, he's shown he doesn't have the chutzpah to really tell his players off. Every time we "listen in" on a bench meeting, he sounds like a sad disappointed father telling his son "Well, you shouldn't eat candy okay? Oh you're going to eat the candy? Well, I suppose that's okay too. But I'm just going to tell you, that candy is no good for you." I don't think that'd light a fire in anyone to play hard. There might be an argument that the team simply isn't talented. Yes, we're a terrible team talent-wise. We have players in roles they never should be put in. Frye is a starter when he's obviously a bench player. Dudley is a starter when he's obviously a sixth man. Brown is a basketball player when he obviously should be selling hot dogs. It's a big shitstorm. But that doesn't excuse Gentry from not being able to get the best out of his players. It doesn't just apply to this season either. Looking at last season, the two players that we "lost" in FA this previous offseason are Vince Carter and Mickael Pietrus. Now they're with the Mavericks and Celtics, respectively. Looking at Carter's stats, it doesn't indicate he's doing any better than when he played for the Suns. But you can't overlook the fact that he looks to be playing better when you watch the Mavs play. Yes, he's no longer the "#1 go-to" option but I'm pretty sure we all knew he wasn't that option the moment he started playing last season. So the question is, why in the world would Gentry continue to force him into a role he doesn't belong in? It's great that he believes in his players, but putting them in a position to fail is not a great way to get the best out of your players. Pietrus, on the other hand, was obviously disgruntled with the Suns. With the Celtics, he's getting more minutes with fewer points but a better defined role. Shooting a better percentage overall and from 3 as well. When we watched Pietrus last season, it looked like he was lost on offense, throwing the ball up at every opportunity. But with the Celtics, his role seems to be defined better.
So why couldn't we get that out of our players? It may be the players. That we don't have the veterans. Wait, we have Hill and Nash. That can't be it. Maybe we don't have the star power. Yea that makes sense, but the Celtics are aging and really their best player is Rondo. It's up to the coaches to get the players to play right and play smart and it always seems like Gentry can't do that. The one successful season in 09-10 was more about the players than Gentry.
It's time to get some turnover. We know Nash can run the system on his own so Gentry isn't really needed. So why is he still around?
tldr: Gentry doesn't put players in a position to succeed.

Grass fire on North Parallel Road in Abbotsford
Abbotsford firefighters deal with a grass fire on North Parallel Road. The incident took place Thursday morning.
A spark from a cutting torch started a grass fire on Thursday morning in Abbotsford.
The fire took place on North Parallel Road at Sumas Mountain Road – on the north side of Highway 1 east of the Whatcom Road interchange.
Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service was called to the scene just before 9:30 a.m.
Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett said workers were removing some signs along the road when a spark from a cutting torch ignited the dry grass.
He said recent dry weather and winds in the area helped the fire spread to an area of about 40 feet by 300 feet, but it was extinguished by crews before any major damage was done.

On Hill's improvement and physical play in the Big Ten
Michigan State entered yesterday's game against Ohio State in East Lansing with a definite defensive game plan that centered on not giving Buckeye guards Tayler Hill and Samantha Prahalis room to breathe.
The Spartans followed the plan doggedly. Even so, the Buckeyes dug out a 64-56 win in a game that Prahalis described afterward in terms that sounded like a rugby scrum.
"It was a grind-it-out kind of game," she said. "It wasn't like a fast-paced game. It was half court. You just had to grind it out."
Hill was a major reason that the Buckeyes won. She took only 12 shots in the game while scoring 21 points. Her three-point field goal following a timeout with 5:19 to play extended a three-point lead to six.
Michigan State coach Suzy Merchant was not surprised by anything the junior guard did. From watching film leading into the game, she knew how much Hill has improved from a season ago.
"She is way better," Merchant said. "She went from their fourth (scoring) option to one of the leading scorers in the country. I felt like any time they've needed a big shot in all of their games, she is the one that's made it. I mean, she drained that three."
Prahalis followed later with a short-seconds jumper that blunted the final MSU comeback.
"They're good," Merchant said. "I don't think either one of them got away from us. Two of Tayler's shots were banked. So we were right up in her. I don't think she was trying to bank a three-point shot from the top of the key. I felt like we were really defending them. Their assists were down. They had more turnovers than assists, which was a big deal. But we couldn't score the ball. We couldn't make shots."
The game was physical, which brings us to Penn State's demolition of Nebraska in Lincolin. The Huskers entered the game with a 15-1, 4-0 record that included a road win over the Lions. Penn State (13-4, 3-2) scored 55 second-half points in a 93-73 blowout.
Maggie Lucas and Alex Bentley combined for 47 points in the win. Nebraska's leading scorer Jordan Hooper was held to 13 points, seven under her season's average. She was 4 for 18 from the field.
The postgame quotes paint a rather physical picture.
Nebraska coach Connie Yori said that Penn State's defense "had Jordan in a headlock all game."
Hooper voiced her unhappiness.
"It's frustrating when the fans can see the fouls and the refs can't see you getting shoved around all game," Hooper said.
That is a big welcome to the Big Ten. The conference basketball logo should be a purple bruise with a yellow halo.
The Huskers are playing the Buckeyes (17-1, 4-1) at 7 p.m. Thursday in Value City Arena. Merchant offered a message on physical play and officiating: Get over both.
"I thought we were a little soft," she said. "I thought we were complaining about getting bumped and what-not instead of concentrating on keeping our spacing and finishing (shots)."
In the conference, Purdue suddenly is alone atop the standings. The Boilermakers (15-3, 5-0) beat Minnesota and Iowa last week. Brittany Rayburn tied an NCAA record by hitting 12 three-pointers in the win over the Gophers. She wasn't as hot against the Hawkeyes, but blocked a shot by Kelly Krei at the end of the game that sealed a 57-55 win in Mackey Arena.
The Buckeyes, Huskers and Spartans (12-6, 4-1) are tied for second place.
Michigan (14-4, 3-2) and Penn State (13-4, 3-2) are tied for fifth. Iowa (10-8, 2-3) and Minnesota (10-9, 2-3) are tied for seventh. Northwestern (11-6, 1-3) is ninth and Wisconsin (5-12, 1-4) is 10th. Illinois (6-11, 0-4) and Indiana (5-13, 0-5) are at the bottom.

"He" is, of course, the Southern Lord boys of Sunn O))), who are creating a din of unprecedented proportion at whatever spot on the globe that will allow its denizens to receive the severe ear abuse that Sunn dishes out. Check out their diabolical plan to scare art connouisseurs the world over in the NYTimes Magazine article (5-28-06) on their resurgent movement. Check out their website at southernlord.com to see how close they are coming to your hometown and also check out the evil minions who are on their unhallowed record label.
_White 2_ doesn't let down on the drone department. "Hell-O)))-Ween" sounds nothing like the shrieky metal band of the '80s that is its namesake and is mainly excruciatingly loud bass vibrating the cone of its amplifier within micrometers of its substance. The whole point is trance. _White 2_ is my first listening experience of Sunn, so I can't compare it to other releases, but really on "Hell-O)))-Ween" I want more. In the NYTimes article, one of the band members talks about how he is influenced by Steve Reich's minimalism and other New Music influences. All I hear on the first track is the Melvins without the drums, singing/grunting, and drop-D riffage (makes sense since the Melvin's Joe Preston is on bass). In short: massive dirge where you fill in the blanks. I am sure that this is much more awe-inspiring live. No matter how loud you turn up your stereo, I can't imagine it's the same thing as the communal black mass that emanates as it is created in front of your ears.
The second track, "bassAliens," has more instrumentation, and some of it on the delicate side of things (keyboard & guitar that is played in the treble clef, as opposed to the 85% of the sounds that are below the bass clef ("Optimized for Blackened Sub-Bass Systems" it instructs you on the back sleeve). Still things move at a megalithic pace here and one never comes anywhere near harmonic release, just 23 ambient minutes of waiting for a power chord that never arrives. Better than the first track.
The best track is "Decay2 [Nihil's Maw]" which starts out sounding as if the earth rent open beneath your living-room floor, allowing you to witness the attempted escape of the throngs damned to perpetuity. What sounds as if it is a Satanic chant is actually a reading from the Shrimad Bagavatam, an ancient Sanskrit sacred text. The way it is chanted slow and low does sound like Zen monk throat singing, just with a horde of loud noises behind it to make you hope the end is not truly nigh. As scary as it gets.
I would be horrified to meet the person who puts this on repeat in their CD player. What you get on a Sunn disc is more like a happening. I am probably like many when I say that I won't play this over and over like the last Radiohead CD when it came out. Instead, I will probably put it on every now and then, light some candles, and contemplate the patterns of good and evil in the universe. Some CDs are made for that. This album doesn't realize the band's full potential until the final song, but you know that this is a group who will fearlessly move forward in the name of art, metal, the Southern Lord, and everything else that is unholy. Don't miss the emanation if it comes to your neighborhood. Considering bringing your rosary, though . . .

Vogue Daily
I Am Love Premiere
"Saluta!" I Am Love producers raised their prosecco to toast the Italian film's much-anticipated debut in New York last night. At Sundance, I Am Love caught Vogue's André Leon Talley's attention for its perfecto Jil Sander wardrobe: Color and cut change subtly throughout the film, uncovering an emotional surge that affects the main character, Emma Recchi's (Tilda Swinton), life forever. In the scene where Milanese wife Emma starts up an affair with her son's friend and business partner, a talented chef, she meets him for a clandestine rendezvous wearing a bold tangerine day dress. "I love that outfit," Swinton confessed. "I've worn it for the past two years but have to stop now because the film is coming out!" The actress felt that Jil Sander's creative director, Raf Simons, made choices that were both sartorial and cinematic. "Those colors—the reds and oranges—remind me of the Mediterranean sun," she said. Director Luca Guadagnino recognized how important wardrobe was for a story about a well-to-do Milanese family shrouded in dramatic tensions. The Recchi patriarch and sons wear Fendi, a design house that "knows how important the codes of family are," Guadagnino said. Actor and jewelry designer Waris Ahluwalia plays a young businessman who signs a deal with the Recchis. Laughing, he told Vogue he grew attached to his character's dapper Dior suit. "I had one fitting in Milan, and in the dressing room I admit I had a small photo shoot with myself," he said. Despite the stand-out costumes, viewers agreed that the clothes seemed effortless. Guests like Lauren Remington Platt, Darren Aronofsky, Polina Kouklina, Jennifer Missoni, and Alexis Bledel met up and continued dissecting the film's sartorial success at Barbounia, the Acqua di Parma– and TuttoBello-sponsored after-party spot.
From what the stars should wear to who we think will win—here is everything you need to know about the 2014 Emmy Awards.


text: Much better performance today. I know that team is winless, but it looks like the message got through. Last week they looked like they had the attitude that WKU was'nt worthy of sharing the same court with them, and they found out the hard way. Today they looked humbled, and hungry. We'll find out with how the rest of the weekend go's, but much better today! GO CARDS!!! I know basketball is here and thank God for that, but I can't resist to plug my favorite website.

Technology Plans for Schools: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
While digging for information about use of GNU/Linux I stumble upon various educational and technology plans for schools. Some are pretty good, while others are horrible. The bad ones go something like this:
- What do we want to do with computers? The answer is usually, "more of the same".
- Make a list of toys: networking, servers, OS, PCs, software and work up a budget.
- Oops! We can't afford much…
The really ugly plans get to the last stage after a year or so of implementing the plan and $millions may have been spent but the full quota of toys is not obtained and there just aren't enough computers available to make a difference. The reasonably good plans start with a realization that money is scarce and a well-defined target of getting the most IT for the least money brings them to GNU/Linux and donated hardware. It often turns out to be a superior solution to all new stuff that is not affordable. Continue Reading
