Brewers baby! Best record in baseball. 9 in a row. Oh yea, this is basketball, but man! My Brewers are unstoppable! And it carried over to the hardwood, when Corey Brewer had maybe the most preposterous, out-of-nowhere game all year. I actually did highlights for the Wolves Rockets game Friday night, and it was like watching a pickup game where one guy was just light years better than everyone else. Slice-n-dice, no need to take shots. In the first quarter, I leaned over to a co-worker and said Brewer is having the game of his life. Made me look smart! Going in with a career-high of 29, Brewer dropped 51 on like, a trillion layups and pick 6s. 51/2/1/6/0, and just how everyone learned from Oliver, "you've got to pick a pocket or two!" Or six. And probably 5 of them led to uncontested layups, but he did have some pretty sick and-ones for good measure. Deeper leaguers that had Brewer probably thought stat tracker was broken Friday night. I've always been a Brewer fan, it was sad to have to trade him to Slim, but when Kevin Martin and Kevin Love returned, it was cool down time for the NBA's Brew Crew on Sunday, going for only 10 and two steals. Regardless, I love that Brewer now gets to share a milestone with Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson and Rick Barry as the only guys to go 50+ with 6+ steals. One of these is not like the other! Good for Brewer, and if the Wolves indeed deal Love and/or let K-Mart walk, Brewer could be pretty interesting next year. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Isn't it nice when everything falls into place? Like when you drive home from work and catch nothing but green lights all the way. I'm not sure what you call that feeling. I say I'm not sure, not because I can't use a thesaurus, but because I don't have those kinds of days anymore. I'm sorry to sound all doom and gloom but at this time of year, when I'm dropping one of my favorite players from my fantasy team – one that I followed for every game – I can't help but react negatively. I know it's not his fault, or the team, or even the ghost of David Stern. What, he's not dead? If you say so. Really there isn't any fault at all, besides the ghost obviously, I just needed more games or I'm not going to win my semifinals match-up. So if you are like me and you're barely holding onto your last breath of hope in the semis here's a handful of widely available players to get that last couple of points, or boards, or just whatever it's going to take stay alive and play for the championship:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Before this playoff roster post gets too out of control I have a few things to say that will hopefully help to put things into perspective. Like how this is based off of daily roster changes, 9-cat, H2H, you know, like the RCLs. First off, everyone's playoff needs are entirely dependent on the makeup of their roster. It should be noted that this isn't just about maximizing games, it's also about helping to make up for our deficiencies. For example, If I had Chris Paul on my team then I'm only going to get 2 games in the first round. If I want to win let's say assists, then I need to stream accordingly. Second, I'm going to use the saying, "heavy day". While trying my hardest to avoid the feminine hygiene jokes I will be referring to whether or not that days NBA schedule has a lot of teams playing or just a few. This is important because on most heavy days you usually won't need to stream a player or you may have a player you won't get much from. For instance Boston plays Mon, Wed, Fri next week and Wed, Fri, Sun the following week. Wed and Fri are always heavy days and depending on the rest of your roster you may only get 1 game each week from say… Jerryd Bayless. That would make him just about useless. Third, I'm going to use 3-letter abbreviations for teams and days of the week. Otherwise this would get far too unwieldy to read and I would have to learn how to spell all of those cities. That's not going to happen, isn't learning the names of players enough?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Wait, what?! Kobe Bryant is back?! I mean, the Lakers beat the Thunder, and someone dropped 42 for purple and gold… I can think of no other scenario. But as the verse goes, "Blessed are the Meeks!" Dropping 42 on OKC, Jodie Meeks hit a career-high with his typical Meeks game of treys and steals. "He was hittin' em from downtown like a mad scientist!" I dunno, I was trying to come up with a good segway into Cosmos from last night, but got nothing. "Went all deGrasse Tyson on the Thundah!" "Gettin' all cosmic on dem mfers!" The Lakers beating OKC definitely broke Vegas' space time continuum. Plus winning with 36 boards to 59? Crazy town. We've liked Meeks a lot over here in Razzball Nation, and somehow he's still at only 58% owned in Yahoo. I demand an Inquisition on this matter! Even though he's close to a ThrAGNOF, the 1.3 Stls a game, fairly high-volume 84% FT shooting, and just overall upside on such a crappy team make him an obvious must own. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
We've all been guilty of it at one point or another. Maybe the great ones, you know, someone like The Dude, haven't been guilty of trying to look into the future. For us mere mortals life isn't so easy that all we need to do is throw on our best pair of Birkenstocks and face the day as it comes to us. At this time of year in fantasy, it's time to forget about the prospects and focus on the here and now. There aren't any September call-ups… wait, where are you all going? Baseball hasn't started yet. Fine, go, be gone with you then! Ahem… For those of us still playing for a championship – ohhh *snaps fingers* out of the playoffs burn! Excuse me. For those of us still playing for championships, *smirk*, we can't afford to worry about the what ifs, we can only concern ourselves now with the what has, so here are my weekend streamers of who wills:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ohhhhh Brad Stevens. You look like you're 12 and coach like you're… 12. But at least, unlike Larry Drew, his inconsistencies have been pretty centralized to the… center. I need to work on expanding my vocab! First there was the Vitor Faverani early (albeit very brief) breakout, then Kelly Olynyk got some starts, followed by a really nice run from Jared Sullinger. I at first brushed him off, but then had Yahoo highlights for a Celtics game and was really impressed. I liked how he saw the floor, played hard, a nice-looking shot, and just overall looked like a guy that would be a must-own. Then after some flagrant fouls and rough-n-tough play racking up the personals, Stevens threw him to the bench. From December 22nd to January 8th he was brutal and I had to jump ship as well. And of course right after that happens, he goes for 21/11 and 14/10 over the weekend, with a pair of treys in both. The first comment on Friday was asking about dropping Sullinger and I said "12 team with a solid squad I might hold, but if I had injuries or needed production now, he's droppable. I think he is bad a few weeks, but gets back into the starting lineup." That's me quoting me! My timetable was off, turned out he was done being bad/underplayed, but I still had some faith. I think he needs to be owned in most leagues with double-double upside, a perimeter game, and I think the assists come back (only 1 in the past 4, but was at 2.3 dimes a game in December). Let's all just hope Stevens doesn't keep sullying fantasy hoops for us… Here's what else I saw over the weekend (through tears of sadness after the refs rigged the 49ers a playoff win) in fantasy basketball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I've got a great idea for a horror movie. This giant dude with a disheveled afro walks into various fast-food franchises and just stomps on everyone and gives them sub-90 sanitation grades. We'll call it, "Andrew Bynum: Franchise Killer!" Dum, domp, dumb! Aka, the sounds Bynum makes when he talks. Oh man, Cleveland hasn't been this happy since the Cavs beat LeBron and the Heat a couple years ago in Cleveland. And all this does for Bynum is get him moved to another team so he can be waived for a salary dump. I wish I dumped salary! No not celery! Anyway, the Bulls shipped off Luol Deng in their own celery dump (too many Chicago dogs) to Cleveland, while receiving some draft picks in full rebuild mode. Hey, if they don't make the playoffs then no one has to berate Derrick Rose about his knee! What was Rose thinking saying he might try to come back… I've never been a big Deng fan, perils of being in tar heel country, and moving to a team with a lot of shooters (Kyrie Irving) and ball hogs (Kyrie Irving), I think Deng's fantasy value takes a hit. Sure Deng still played well with a healthy Rose, but it's just not a situation where I see Deng being as solid a fantasy guy with C.J. Miles and Dion Waiters also shoot first guys on the wing. And you can kiss the 7 boards a game goodbye with Tristan Thompson and Anderson Varejao pullin' em down. I wouldn't panic and give Deng away, but that's just my take. Here's what else I saw from last night in fantasy basketball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If you're like JB and myself, then you like your fantasy basketball to be Head-To-Head. The ability to talk smack to a new opponent every week keeps the intensity high. And unlike Roto or NCAA football, we get The Playoffs, where heroes are made and injures decimate championship aspirations. A nasty little side effect however is a shortened regular season. After this week we will have played 10 weeks. Marking the halfway point of the regular season. If you're in the bottom 3rd of your league then sacrifices must be made. Injured players may need to be traded at less than face value or flat out dropped. Streaming takes priority over upside. There is still plenty of time to make up ground and sneak into the playoffs but it's safe to say something isn't working. If you're in the middle 3rd then you should take a long hard look at who on your team is on the way up and who is on the way down. We all had our favorite sleepers coming into the year, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was one of mine, Archie Goodwin was well liked around these parts too. They weren't giving enough so we had to move on to the next opportunity, c'est la vie, life goes on… If your in the top 3rd of your league then you need to ensure you stay there. You can be much more risky and shouldn't pass up any high upside guy who is getting big minutes.Please, blog, may I have some more?
As my good friends at Mr. Show previously theorized, 24 was thought to be the highest number. "What about 30?!" And then NBA scorers were pulling exactly what happens in that skit. "What about 31?" "What about 32?" "I gotta ask, what about 33!" Then Gilbert Arenas was like, "if people keep scoring like this, I'm gonna have to shoot em with Crittenton's .45!" It wasn't necessarily that many guys going off, just a few you wouldn't have guessed. I'm trying to pick the most off the rails 30+ point night, so I think I'll go with Alec Burks, who just looked awful in the two games before last night. 7-25 his past two outings, but goes 12-17 last night for career-highs in both points with 31 and dimes at 7. Added three boards and four steals with two treys for good measure. Burks has always looked like a good athlete out there, but never like a guy who could take over like that. I think a good debate is Burks or Terrence Ross. I'll lean Ross, but very close, I just think Burks is too inconsistent. Here's what else went down last night in hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Pretty much anyone involved in the big Rudy Gay trade has gotten nothing but positive return except Greivis Vasquez. Poor Vasquez… And easily the biggest winner right now is Isaiah Thomas just going off with the backcourt to himself, going 29/6/2 on Friday night and 19/2/8 last night. With both PGs there in Shaq-ramento to start the year, it was like the first Terminator, then IT2 got flipped into the main good guy and it's movie magic in the sequel. Coach Mike Malone even came out and said Thomas is gonna lead the NBA in minutes. Iron man! Well I guess it would be hyperalloy combat chassis covered by living human tissue man… I wish Vasquez had never gone to Sacramento, because as I mentioned last week, I aggressively ranked Thomas early in the summer. I love this kid. He's going to be extremely tough to go out and trade for right now, and I certainly would not be selling. He's got both Gay and DeMarcus Cousins to dish to, plus he's a fantastic scorer. I have all sorts of IT2 regret now since he's not on any of my teams… Womp womp… Here's what else went down over the weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Historical Traveler Reviews Shades of Green Hotel Orlando
I stayed at the Shades of green in 2001 and loved it. The hotel was awsome. We were instantly upgraded at no extra charge to a pool veiw room. I think anyone who wrote a bad review on this hotel should be ashamed of themselves. The food was excellant. The rooms were not outdated or dirty. As one person said. Some people just want to complaine for no reason at all. And if the rooms were outdated what do they think there renovating for? I loved the resort. It was beautiful.
It is a 4 star Hotel and has great amenities.
Great deal!!!!
Thought i'd put my $0.02 in here. My family, wife and 2 daughters made reservations thru Shades of Green to stay there, but of course they are renovating the hotel (well overdue i might say) and they offered to get reservations for us at the other Disney Hotels at the same discounted price. Well we ended up at the Hilton across from downtown Disney and it was awesome @ $93.00 a night. No check-in problems, room was ready, no problems nothing, Notta. So my hats off to Shades of Green for the great reservations and getting the rate promised on the phone in a hotel where their cheapest room is $165.00 normally. We will definatley be back!!!!! Moving back to FL in Nov!!!!
Loved Shades of Green
My husband and I have stayed at the Shades of Green several times and love it. I read the review from the Navy family and better they stay somewhere else with the attitude that they have. It also sounds like whoever wrote the item was not in the service and able to stay there because of their children being in the Navy. We took our grandchildren and they loved the place. The grounds are beautiful, the service was great, the price was affordable. As for the food, there is no way on this earth to please everyone with food. Go somewhere else. Personally, it is a pleasure to stay at the Shades of Green and we are looking forward to being able to do so again. Thanks to the Government for providing a nice place such as the Shades of Green for its' military families.
Very Helpful Sales Staff
I recently booked a trip with Shades of Green and found the experience pleasant. They were very polite and helpful with information. The policy with cancalation is your full deosit of $95.00 a room will be returned if you cancal within 30 days of your arrival. I have only good things to say about Shades of Green. I feel very lucky that this great value is offered to the military!!
Unhappy with shades of green
I am writing in reference to the policy of the Shades of Green and there booking tactics. My mother who goes to Disney at least once a year was looking for a bargain for 12 of us family members to book a hotel for four nights. As you can imagine this is going to cost a lot of money so after a conversation with a very rude booking agent at the Shades of Green she booked out of confusion. The next day after she had some time to realize the cost of this venture she changed her mind and called to cancel the hotel but was told it would cost her at least $75.00, this was not even 24 hours later, I am very disappointed that she was treated rudely and that for customer satisfaction the Shades of Green gets an F from me and my family who will never stay in any of the hotels connected to the Disney Corporation.
Awesome hotel!!
We have stayed at the Shades of Green twice and have loved it both times!! We are going to Walt Disney World again this year, for our 27th time! And we wanted to stay at SofG but we to our dismay, found out it is under renovation! Well that just means we will have to go back again next year! The staff were wonderful, the food at the restaurant awesome, and prices were amazing! Would we stay again?! Most definitely!!!!
Wonderful world of vacation
We stayed at Shades of Green in Oct of 1999. We had the best Disney Vacation ever. The room was very clean and spacious. We had a frig in our room for a small extra charge. We had the wonderful Disney service even at Shades of Green. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant buffet was excellent and the transportation service to the different parks was very convenient and fast. We were hoping to come back in Oct 2003 with a new addition to our family, but have seen that it is under renovation. Can't wait til the work is complete so we can enjoy another WONDERFUL WORLD OF VACATION. Very nice and inexpensive, but should be for a military family.
I Hope New Shades Will Be Better
We stayed in January of 2003. Beware: Until the new Shades of Green is finished, plan on staying in the dismal south wing of the Contemporary. We checked in at 8:00 and only two people were working the desk. The wait was more than 30 minutes. Although the room was relatively clean, it was small. The interior decorating is so bad, it's comical. And the Fruit Loops on the carpet left by the last guest was a nice touch. As far as food goes, plan on $25 a head for a buffet, or eat at the "Greasy Spoon" where three burgers, fries and cokes with only cost you $26. We paid $100 a night, so I guess we did "okay". I've stayed at much better Holiday Inn's.
Great Family Vacation
We visited last June, 2001, with our 13 y.o. son and our 21 y.o. daughter for 7 days. There was something for everyone and they did not get bored. Suggest renting a car which made it easier and quicker to get around. We did take the tram when we were not in a hurry. Also, take a break for a day and drive to Cape Canaveral, Coco Beach, etc. Nice drive and we visited the Air Force base too.
Suggest going to Water parks early in the morning. Although we purchased the 7 days pass, we arrived late morning and were unable to get in a couple of times.
Important to make reservations for popular lunch spots.
We also had them bring a refrigerator in the room for a small surcharge, which made it easy for quick snacks and early morning breakfasts.
Grounds were safe and beautiful. Met very many nice people.
We are planning a return trip next year when my huusband returns from deployment.
P.S. Bring walkie talkies and rain ponchos. $.99cent ponchos were $5.00.
Excellent Accomodations
We visited Shades of Green with our children in 1999 and were absolutely impressed with the size of the rooms and the comfort of them as well. I would highly recommend it to anyone who goes to Disney. Yes, the more elaborate hotels at Disney have the extra pools and amenities, but their rooms are teeny tiny and if you are there to see Disney World and not to lounge, then Shades of Green is the place to be.

... Gun Club, it opened at 9am so I had plenty of time to get there and it was only a 20 minute taxi drive from my hotel, Grande Villas Resort.
When I got there I was pretty surprised on how big the place actually was. The cost for the day was $11.95 for pistol rental for the day and $14.95 for rifles, I also paid $16.95 for firearm rental fee which meant I could use all the guns there ...

Playaz Circle - Duffle Bag Boy (Remix) ft. Lil' Wayne, Baby & Juelz Santana
Artist: Playaz Circle
Featuring: Lil Wayne, Baby aka Birdman, Juelz Santana
Producer: M-16
Album: Supply & Demand
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 44 votes )
Although Playaz Circle' hit record Duffle Bag Boy has been playing on DJBooth since March, it wasn't until just recently that it reached major success. In fact, the single has grown so large that it convinced Ludacris to shelf the DTP Strength in Numbers compilation in favor of the duo's oft-delayed debut, Supply & Demand. Now, the inevitable remix has come with Weezy spitting an all-new guest verse (in addition to his original hook), as well as daddy Birdman and I Can't Feel My Face partner Juelz Santana adding extra firepower. Playaz Circle' all-new verses aren't bad either; even quoting some Weezy along the way. As the original peaks, look for the remix to start getting some airplay and all building anticipation for Supply & Demand's October 30th release.

A lower surface of a plate made of material with a well heat transfer characteristics such as pure aluminum or aluminum alloy is provided with a plurality of heat radiation fins and further with legs in order to provide a natural thawing pan capable of shortening a thawing time more remarkably than that of the prior art even though the natural thawing process is applied. In this case, the surface of the plate or the heat radiation fins may be processed with Almite or special coating or a plurality of irregular portions may be arranged there or the lower ends of the legs can be fixed with soft anti-slipping members.
1. A thawing pan for thawing foods under ambient conditions, comprising:
a substantially flat rectangular plate made of material having high heat transfer characteristics, the plate having an upper flat surface for receiving food and an opposite lower surface;
a plurality of elongated spaced parallel fins, extending from and across the lower surface of the plate, said fins including facing side surfaces;
a plurality of elongated ridges extending along each of the facing side surfaces of the fins to increase a heat transfer characteristics of the fins;
a pair of elongated legs extending parallel to the plurality of fins and position respectively near opposite ends of the plate and defining a space therebetween in which at least some of said fins are located, said legs extending from said lower surface a greater distance than said fins;
said plate, fins and legs all being made of one piece of the material having the high heat transfer characteristic.
2. A pan according to claim 2, wherein at least one fin which is immediately adjacent a respective one of said legs is shorter than a remainder of said fins on the lower surface of the plate.
3. A pan according to claim 2, wherein each of said legs includes a groove extending therein and a pair of anti-slipping members made of high friction material at a bottom of each leg and engaged into each groove respectively.

6. A pan according to claim 1, wherein each of said legs includes a groove extending therein and a pair of anti-slipping members made of high friction material at a bottom of each leg and engaged into each groove respectively.
7. A pan according to claim 1, wherein said material having high heat transfer characteristic contains aluminum.
8. A pan according to claim 1, wherein the material of said plate, fins and legs carries an anti-corrosion coating.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a natural thawing pan which is preferable for use in performing a natural thawing of frozen foods such as meats or fishes and the like.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As means for thawing the frozen foods such as meats or fishes or the like, it has been well known in the art to provide a natural thawing in which the frozen foods are placed on a pan or a container having a shallow depth to cause the foods to be exposed to ambient conditions, for example, the surrounding air, or water is applied over the foods or the frozen foods are immersed in the container storing water therein and thawed therein or to provide a forced thawing for forcedly thawing the frozen foods with an electronic oven, a heater and steam or the like.
In these prior art methods, the forced thawing process had a short thawing time, but had some disadvantages that meats or fishes of the frozen foods to be thawed under a forced heating were deteriorated in their quality and their flavor or good taste were lost. In turn, the natural thawing process had an advantage that the meats or fishes of the frozen foods could be thawed without destroying their flavors or good tastes, but had a disadvantage that it took much time to complete the thawing operation.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a natural thawing pan operated under a natural thawing process and capable of remarkably shortening a thawing time as compared with that of the prior art.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which;
FIG. 1 is a perspective view for showing a natural thawing pan of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the natural thawing pan shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the natural thawing pan shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view for showing a part of a fin; and
FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view for showing a part of a leg part.
Hereinafter the exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The drawings illustrate one preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein a reference numeral 1 denotes a plate made of material having a high heat transfer rate such as ceramics, aluminum or aluminum alloy and the like, for example. At the lower surface of the plate are integrally arranged in parallel a plurality of heat radiation fins 2, 2. . . in properly spaced apart relation in a longitudinal direction. A pair of legs 3, 3 higher than the heat radiation fins 2,2. . . are made of the same material as that of the heat radiation fins 2,2. . . and integrally arranged in parallel at both sides of the plate 1 in a longitudinal direction. Soft anti-slipping members 4, 4 of rubber or other high friction material, for example, are fixed to the lower ends of the legs 3, 3 in a longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 4, each of the heat radiation fins 2, 2. . . is provided with some fine irregular portions 2a, 2a. . . in order to further improve an effect of thermal radiation. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, each of the fins 2 have parallel facing side surfaces. The irregularities in the form of the ridges 2a, are on the side surfaces of the fins. As shown in FIG. 5, each of the legs 3 includes a groove for receiving and holding the anti-slipping member. Also as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each of the fins which are immediately adjacent a respective leg, is shorter than the remaining fins. Although the surfaces of the plate 1, each of the thermal radiation fins 2, 2. . . and legs 3, 3 of the natural thawing pan are treated with Alumite so as to prevent deterioration in quality or corrosion, there may be provided other means such as fluorine resin processing or special enameling coating. It may be optional to arrange a peripheral groove for use in storing drip on the plate. Aluminum alloy was applied as material, a plate size was set such that its thickness was 6 m/m, its vertical and lateral sizes were 210 m/m and 320 m/m, a height at the leg was 30 m/m and a fin height and a fin thickness were in a range of 10 to 15 m/m and 2 m/m, respectively, the plate was made as shown in the drawing, and then a practical thawing experiment was carried out for various frozen foods. Then, they were compared with the results of experiment obtained under a condition in which the plate was exposed at a normal room temperature of 24� C. and the following results indicated in the table below were obtained.
In the experiment, the foods frozen and stored at -10 � C. were applied and a size of each of the foods was indicated by a unit of mm.
______________________________________ Natural Thawing Thawing Pan of (Left at Room the PresentType Temperature) Invention______________________________________Ice (20 g) Approx. 45 min. 2 min.Tuna (Sliced Raw Tuna) Approx. 90 min. 12 min.(70 � 190 � 20)Pork Meat Approx. 150 min. 18 min.(70 � 150 � 20)Chicken Meat Approx. 150 min. 18 min.(70 � 145 � 20)Beef Meat (Stake) Approx. 180 min. 25 min.(70 � 140 � 30)Minced Meat Approx. 180 min. 25 min.(70 � 150 � 30)______________________________________
In addition, the frozen foods applied in the natural thawing pan of the present invention scarcely produced drips and a turning-back of the frozen foods in the midway of the operation shortened a thawing time. Further, it could be confirmed that applying water to the adhering surfaces of the frozen foods to the plate caused the thawing time to be more fast.
As the thawed foods were cooked and their tastes were compared with that of the foods thawed under the usual natural thawing process, they showed that their freshness degree was not decreased due to their thawing in a short period of time, their flavors, tastes and eating tastes were quite similar to that of the raw foods before their freezing and so the thawed foods could be eaten deliciously.
It is further understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing description is a preferred embodiment of the disclosed device and that various changes and modifications may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

NORMAN — Oklahoma coaches benched Trevor Knight for Blake Bell at the beginning of the fourth quarter Saturday, when the Sooners beat West Virginia 16-7.
OU football: Knee injury might help explain Trevor Knight's poor performance in third quarter
The reason behind the quarterback switch seemed pretty obvious. Knight was coming off a quarter in which he'd recorded more interceptions (two) than pass completions (one). Both picks came in Mountaineers' territory on drives that could've helped OU firmly take control of the game.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops did nothing to change that perception in his postgame news conference when asked why he made the quarterback change.
"I was talking to Josh (Heupel) and I'm not going to detail much of it, but at the end of the day, this was a tight competition and I just feel that it wasn't as good as we needed to be in the throwing game, so we gave (Bell) his chance," Stoops said.
But Sunday, new information surfaced that might help explain Knight's poor performance — and the noticeable change in play calling — in the third quarter.
Tricia Knight, Trevor's mother, posted a Facebook status Sunday morning from Oklahoma City's McBride Orthopedic Hospital that said, "Praying no damage to Trevor's knee."
Later Sunday, ESPN.com reported Knight had an MRI on his knee but that the injury isn't thought to be serious, citing a team source.
Just before halftime, Knight kept the ball on an option play from West Virginia's 9-yard line and ran down the middle toward the end zone. He picked up six yards before Mountaineers safety Karl Joseph dove at his legs and brought Knight down at the 3.
Knight was a little slow to get up, and seemed to limp around on the field as OU called a timeout.
During the timeout, OU staffers examined Knight's leg, but the redshirt freshman went back into the game for one more play — he overthrew Jalen Saunders in the end zone — before halftime.
In the first half, Knight completed 9 of 15 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed seven times for 55 yards.

Hales Corners — If radon is seeping into your home, the Hales Corners Health Department thinks you would want to know about it.
As part of National Radon Action Month in January, the department is offering radon test kits for resident homeowners through a grant program in coordination with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the Wisconsin Radon Information Center.
To obtain a kit, residents can call (414) 529-6155.
Radon is an odorless, radioactive gas that is naturally present in the ground. It originates when uranium, a common element in soil, breaks down. This gas can enter a building through foundation cracks, openings and crevices.
State health officials have cited federal estimates that identify exposure to radon gas as the nation's second-leading cause of lung cancer and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. The higher the lifetime exposure to radon, the greater the risk for lung cancer is.
"This is a wake-up call," said Debra Persak, health officer for the Hales Corners Health Department.
Persak noted that 2009 statistics from the Wisconsin Radon Information Center revealed that elevated radon levels were identified in nearly 63 percent of Hales Corners homes that were tested through their radon surveillance program.
"Fortunately, this cause of lung cancer is largely preventable," said Persak.
Radon concentration in air can be measured with simple, inexpensive test kits available from hardware stores and local public health agencies.
If initial and follow-up testing reveal elevated radon levels, there are ways to mitigate the problem and lower the exposure. Certified mitigation contractors can install a ventilation system that reduces exposure to levels below what is recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Comprehensive radon information for Wisconsin can be found at lowradon.org.

Target Announces New Price Match Policy
Target Corp. announced plans to price match top online retailers year-round, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and Toysrus.com (including Babiesrus.com). Target stores will also price match items found on Target.com.
The new policy, which takes effect immediately, will combine Target's previous price adjustment and competitor ad match policies into one simple, easy-to-use Price Match Policy that now includes select online retailers. If a guest buys a qualifying item at a Target store and then finds the identical item for less in the following week's Target circular or within seven days on Target.com, Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com or Toysrus.com or in a local competitor's printed ad, Target will match the price.
"Guests can confidently shop at Target every day for the best value in retail," said Gregg Steinhafel, Target Chairman, President and CEO. "We know that our guests often compare prices online. With our new Price Match Policy and the additional five percent savings guests receive when they use their REDcard, Target provides an unbeatable value."
Target introduced its first price match policy, the Low Price Promise, in 2009 and began matching select online competitors for the first time this holiday season.
Price match may be requested at Target's Guest Services prior to a purchase with proof of current price or by bringing the original Target receipt and proof of current price.
For more information about price match at Target, visit Target.com/pricematch.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada won't be back behind the plate until at least Sunday's series finale at Texas.
Bothered by concussion symptoms. Posada said Friday he was ready to return to the starting lineup. But manager Joe Girardi was more cautious, saying Posada would at most be a pinch hitter Friday.
Posada was hit Tuesday night by a foul ball. Trainer Gene Monahan wants him to take a couple more days off from catching.
Girardi also said left-hander Andy Pettitte will make one more rehabilitation start before rejoining the rotation. Pettitte hasn't pitched in a major league game since July 18 because of a strained left groin.

LOL! Just don't wait in Seabrook.
U-235 is used in nuclear power plants. Its half life is 713 million years. That means it takes 713 million years for U-235 to lose only HALF of its radioactivity. It will take a while longer for that to turn into lead. I, for one, prefer not to wait.
Good Morning, I saw that we were side by side on the 30day leader board. Thought I'd drop by an say hello since we have a lot of buddies in common. What part of our state is your stomping grounds?

Jon Gosselin, not content to let Kate have the last word (not that we see either of them delivering their "last word" anytime soon), has taken to Twitter to offer his response to Kate's Monday night primetime TV special.
In the tweet -- which is actually more like an essay, in that it goes way beyond the social media site's 140-character limit -- he defends his girlfriend, challenges his ex-partner, and gives himself a verbal pat on the back.
Jon refers to Hailey Glassman, his current main squeeze, as "the only person who has spoken the brutal truth about (yes this whole mess of a trainwreck) as it is described."
"She has gotten the brunt of EVERYONE'S anger and disappointment," he adds.
As for Kate, he still takes issue over who broke up with whom.
"Kate even slipped last night and admitted we split up a year ago! Though she claims she 'didn't remember' who called it quits," Jon wrote. "Hey at least she said 'didn't remember' instead of lying."
Perhaps most strangely, Jon refers to his children as "little morsels" -- after bragging about taking two of them to the bus (the school bus, we presume).
The post is followed by dozens of comments from Jon's followers. They range from: "I dont think that people should be all up in arms about something that can and does happen to lots of people throughout the world," to "why dont you try being honest and admit that hailey is more important to you then ur kids..."
The typo-filled tirade is posted at Twerbose.com.
Do you think Jon makes good points in his response? Chime in below!

Romulan, named after the alien Star Trek race, is a powerful indica revered for its potent therapeutic qualities. Though mostly indica, Romulan growers insist sativa genetics have crept in over time, lending it intense cerebral effects. These squat, pine-scented plants produce dense frosty buds that have found their following among connoisseurs in B.C. and the Pacific Northwest. A deep, sedating relaxation makes Romulan a favorite strain for patients treating muscle spasms and nerve damage. Many hybridized variations of Romulan exist, but nearly all can promise a full body calm with heavily intoxicating properties.

Eric Jaeger ``El Comanche``
A NW native, Eric has been a professional musician and teacher all his adult life. He lived and studied flamenco extensively in Andalucía, Spain. His education went much beyond the guitar as his most influential teacher Martín Chico of the famous gypsy flamenco family los Revuelos opened him to the world and life of a Gipsy flamenco artist, and studied intensively the accompaniment of dance and voice. Other teachers include Manuel de la Luz (Eva La Yerbabuena), Jesús Alvarez, Jose Manuel Tudela, and Antonio Rey. His hands on teaching style gives students the chance to learn the true essence of flamenco, while breaking down the technique and rhythm in a way that is easy to assimilate.
Eric works with his wife, the Barcelona born dancer/vocalist/guitarist, Encarnación; both as a duet and with their highly successfull ensemble "Flamenco de Raiz", bringing top level flamenco artists directly from Spain such as Rafael de Utrera(of Paco de Lucia fame), Sergio Martinez, and many others. FDR released a live CD in 2010 from their sold out concerts at Kirkland Performance Center featuring Rafael.

Eric returns to Spain every year with Encarnación to stay immersed in the art of flamenco, and more importantly, to live and breathe the flamenco culture with their friends and family in Sevilla and Barcelona.

Nicole and Zero Love LifeNicole and Zero Love's Life
As children, Nicole and Zero lived in a lot of different places. They went from Hollywood to New Jersey to New York to CHB. Their mom, Selan Love, work very many jobs, just to eat and because of that Nicole and Zero wasn't home a lot, they were always looking for something to do. At every school they've been to, they've been picked on. Zero, being the oldest, was always getting in fights by not letting his sister get hurt. Also he's more a loner than his sister, so no one talks to him, even at camp he doesn't talk to a lot of people. Zero is the 8th oldest of the 'main' campers. Nicole, being the youngest, she's always being protected from almost everything. Nicole isn't your average daughter of Hades, she gets along with more people then you have thought, and she's still a good fighter. Nicole is the 10th oldest of the 'main' campers.
Good bye, Nii-san"Kiku, pleases why?" I looked down at the other man, the one who was once my Nii-san. "I'm sorry Yao, but you know why." I turned to walk away when I heard sobbing. I looked back at Yao, just to see him trying to get up, still looking at me with tear-filled eyes. "Yao." "K-kiku, pleases don't leave don't leave me." He slowly walked to me, his wet bangs sticking to face. He then lost balance and started to fall. I caught him before he was anywhere near the ground. I carried him back to his house and laid him down on his bed before turning to leave. When I closed the front door behind me, I pushed my back against it. 'I'm very sorry, Yao. Your strong nii-san, I know you'll make it without me. Good bye, for good.'
I'm name is Tokyo and this is my storyI'm Tokyo, my human name is Amaya Honda. When I first came into the world, I was found by China (Yao), on the Japan border, China took me to Japan (Kiku). After being found by China, then when to live Japan, I went to the next WM (World Meeting) with Japan, and met Hong Kong, and for me it was love at first sight. When we started dating, Japan was in the dark about it, China was the only one who knew about us. Then after a while I got pregnant, and after that I did tell Japan about me and Hong Kong and that I was pregnant. He got mad and I went to live with China and Hong Kong. Hong Kong then asked me to marry to him five months later. At the wedding, Japan said he was sorry and all of us were happy. The three of them were in the room when I had twins. My girl's name is Ming, which means 'bright' and my boy's name is Yoru, which means 'night'.
Back together*In one on my stories, Bianca isn't the only older sister of Nico. Nicole is the oldest of them all. After their mom was killed, the three went to live with Hades. When Nicole was 11 Bianca was 10, and Nico was 6 when they were separated, now Nico is 13 and Nicole is 18*
Nico's Point of View
Annabeth came running in the Big House. "Chiron *pant* there's a new demi-god that you really need to see." Chiron looked up with a confused look on his face. "Do you know their parent and what is their name?" She quickly nodded her head "Her parent is-" she cut off for a moment to look over at me"- Hades. And her named Nicole di Angelo." My eyes went wide and I could feel tears come into them and the stares of the others that where with us. I then heard Chiron clear his throat before saying to bring her in. I quickly looked up when I heard the door open again and footsteps were heard. "Nicole, this is Chiron. That's Percy, son of Poseidon, I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, that's Grove

A sequin dress, blazer, or skirt are quintessential holiday attire in my style book. Personally, I think a sequined garment is always a good idea, but if there is ever a time to sparkle and shine it's definitely during this time of year. The problem I've always run into, though, when looking for a sequined dress is that they are either way out of my price range or they are cut for a newly turned 21 year old who is about to hit Vegas. I'm 37 and a mother of two, so a dress that looks ready to hit the clubs is not in the cards for me and there isn't a lot of extra cash sitting around to spend on a garment that I cannot wear to a variety of occasions. While I love sparkly things as much as the next girl, let's face it, a sequined dress isn't the kind of garment that can be worn to just any old occasion, so when I started looking for one a few years ago I spent a great deal of time looking for one with a more classic, feminine silhouette so it would withstand the test of time and trends.
I'm actually wearing this dress backwards here; since I wanted a more timeless, sophisticated silhouette I like the effect of a more conservative collar line in the front. This certainly makes the dress a whole lot easier to pull off without having to worry about how far you are leaning over in mixed company. (What's underneath is better left not exposed to everyone in the room.) Wearing the dress this way also creates a little element of surprise. I love the way the draped collar creates a bit of an exposed back without going too far. You can never go wrong with a little bit of sex appeal, right? Just make sure to not go overboard with how much skin you reveal. The key here is that the overall dress has a very feminine, classic feel so the draped back is just right rather than too risque.
Another great aspect of this dress is the slight draping where the bodice meets the skirt. There is a little bit of elastic right below the bodice to help create that effect, which you can further exaggerate by pulling the dress' waistline slightly above your own. The draping adds to the femininity of the dress and is an easy way to hide a multitude of sins or a few too many bites of dinner or dessert at holiday functions, so you can continue to celebrate with comfort and confidence.
