Ehhh. More like 3.5 stars but lets round up. Mixed feelings on this one. The brown was way too pigmented I actually removed it for the palette because it would wind up on my brush and make a mess. I like the other colors, the pink I didn't use very much but it was a great quality eyeshadow. The gold color was so lovely! BUT, it was super powdery and whenever I used it it would get everywhere ad pollute the pink. I was willing to put up with that, but the gold kept cracking and eventually exploded everywhere. I might buy again and just take out the gold, and keep it isolated. XD
I don't really care for the pink eyeshadow, I only use the gold one occasionally (but it's a beautiful shade nonetheless), I think the brown one along deserves 5 lippies. It is extremely pigmented (more so than some eyeshadows made by Urban Decay or MAC) with silky buttery texture.

oook so Idk, what is wrong with mine but I'm fairly confident I just got a weird one because I have another trio (silent treatment) and it does such a great smokey eye, I thought I should get another. But the crease color in my silent treatment, like... It literally behaves like a loose powder when I get a brush nears it. It's just like "POOF" eyeshadow. everywhere. so that's the one downfall. I could still use it like as a bit of a liner, but it's not gonna work as a crease color, it like.. eats the entire gold area on my eyelid when I tried, even if I tap the brush off first. sooo oh well, I can still use them all individually. I would still buy other trios, considering you're paying $1 for each shadow, it's not that huge of a deal if one is bust.

My very first wet n wild trio. The gold, bronzey, shimmery shade drew me in relentlessly. For the flabbergasting dirt-cheap price, I picked it up. In addition to the gold, there is a super dark brown and a cool-toned frosty pink. IMO, the pink doesn't really belong there - would've preferred a matte neutral, similar to brûlée) but I would never wear that pink on my browbone anyway - hello 80s robot! But the gold is beautiful. So rich and pigmented. Does amazing things to my blue eyes, but I would imagine it'd be great for green eyes as well with the brownish undertones. I have experienced quite a bit of fallout (mostly with the gold and brown shades) so minus a lippie for that, but when we're talking pigmentation, value, wear time, and color selection? Wet n wild icon trios. Every. Single. Time. Going to repurchase soon, my pans getting too visible.

I absolutely love this, I've been looking for a subtle brown for my darker skintone. The gold is a little glittery so I wouldn't wear it on a random day, but it is beautiful. The pink is a tad frosty but a perfect innerduct highlight. All three colors go on smoothly and when I was applied it, I made a mistake and tried to wipe it off with water and it barely budged, so I know it has great lasting power. All in all a great trio.

This palette is ok. Its not my HG, I can live without it.
The 3 colors (frosty cool pink, bronzey gold and blackened plum) dont go well together. I really hate that pink color. Its too cool toned for my skintone and is very frosty. I cant compare it to anything in my collection because I usually lean towards warmer/golden pinks.
That golden color is a dead ringer for UD's Baked e/s. The WW one has more chunky flecks of gold, with more fall out, less smooth and slightly less pigmented.
The plummy color I've heard pple compare to MAC's Beautymarked. I dont have that but I can say its dangerously similar to the darker shade in the L'Oreal HIP Duo in Sassy. The WW e/s is even darker.
I knew that WW probably tried to think outside the box to include that pink in the trio but it really has no place being there. I would have preferred a matte beige.
All the colors are pretty soft, blendable and pigmented. The golden shade has a bit of fallout. Tha shadows also tend to break easily as the container is very cheap and fragile.
I would recommend this to persons who are on a budget and have a limited range of e/s. To persons that have a large collection, I'd say to pass. The shades are easily dupable and not so great to begin with.

2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this product seeing a review on it on YouTube. It was cheap, and wet n wild hasn't really let me down before. Its mostly the "lid" color in my eyeshadow trio packaging that like poofed up a bit. It was way over pigmented. Don't get me wrong, i love pigmented shadows but it was OVER pigmented. Maybe it was just me idk. I used this for two days and one time it just accidentally fell on the ground. The pink color completely died. The "puffiness" just collapsed and got all over the crease color. When it fell, it also shredded a layer of the crease color, and the lid color collapsed too. I love WnW, and i should be more careful of not dropping it but -___-. I had bought the vanity palette and it fell, i broke one of the 6 colors. I would buy this again tho bc the colors are really gorgeous. I am just sort of annoyed about the packaging and wishing the eyeshadow wouldn't break so easily.
I love this palette! The colors look great together and are all super pigmented and soft. My favorite is the lid color followed by the crease color. I agree that it is intimidating when you swatch it but it blends beautifully or you can use it as an eyeliner.
I mainly bought this for the gold and pink, which I thought would be great for spring and summer. Those two colors are very good and I also have knock on wood, which I plan on mixing and matching. Now, the dark crease color is scary pigmented. You have to be super careful with this one or you'll end up looking like a preschooler who went digging in her mom's makeup bag. When I applied to much, and as of yet haven't figured out how to use this brown, I tried to soften it with the pink which was a big mistake - a grave error. What was a muddy dark brown, turned into a purple black. Not kidding. And, it was a terror to wipe off with a wet wipe. I really don't see the brown actually looking good with the gold and pink, now that I've tried the colors together. I may try again with the brown with more neutral colors. I have had good results using the gold on the lower lash line and on the center of the lid for a "pop" of color in combination with colors from the Naked palette. The pink is okay. A little sheer. I think I have better results with the pinks in the "knock on wood" palette which is a little darker and more pigmented. All in all, a good buy and long lasting colors. I'm impressed.
Update: my daughter - going on 13- loved this palette so much, she wanted one for herself. She mainly uses the pink and she does get a lot of pigment out of it. It makes her brown eyes look very lovely. I take back what I said about it not being pigmented. hehe. I guess, my daughter has a thing or two to show me about makeup. :)

Police say two men have been arrested in connection with Monday's shooting death in northern Charlotte.
The charges stem from the homicide case involving Alquez Lee Thompson, 20, of Charlotte.
Thompson's body was found shortly after 2:30 p.m. Monday in the 1500 block of Whisnant Street. That is near Greenville Park, bordered by Oaklawn Avenue, Interstate 77 and the Brookshire Freeway.
Police had answered a call about shots being fired.
Detectives said they arrested Jamarick Yamon Horton, 22, and Tyree Lavarchio Sifford, 20. Horton was arrested Wednesday night, police said, and Sifford was taken into custody Thursday morning.
According to police reports, the suspects are accused of firing at five people who apparently were in a vehicle. Police said they believe the victim and suspects knew one another.
Sifford was charged with first-degree murder, and Horton was charged with two counts of attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and shooting into an occupied vehicle.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact detectives at 704-432-TIPS or Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.

Can Botox cause a drooping eye lid?
Yes, it certainly can if administered in the incorrect location. Fortunately, the effect is not permanent and should resolve in 2 to 3 months.
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Sure it can. It occurs in 1.3 % of individuals undergoing botox injection for the glabellar lines. It can sometimes occur as a result of wrong injection site, however, it still occurs in the best hands. This complication is temporary and stays between few weeks to 2 months depending on the amount of botox that affected the muscle that elevates the eyelid. Ask your physician for the eyedrop that can counter-affect this drooping and use it if you have no contraindication for that. Remember, doing those minimally invasive procedures with an ASAPS member decreases the risk of those complications.
Shady Hayek, M.D.

The Five People You Meet in Heaven (2003)
by Mitch Albom
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A depressing and lackluster read that was terribly boring. After reading Tuesday's With Morrie and reading the reviews, I was certain that this book would deliver. I honestly wouldn't recommend this book.
It's been awhile, but I remember reading it all in one night and sobbing through most of it. That's basically my definition of a good book.
This is a wonderful book. I have read it several times and will probably read it several more times.
I finished this book in two days. It would have been one however I didn't start it until 3am and I had to work the next day. I have heard a lot of hype about this book, and the author in general. I was not disappointed. Neither was my life altered forever. I'm not denying it is a great fiction book. And one that was very well written at that. Nor am I saying it didn't have good messages in it. I'm just saying it is still fiction. Maybe other people read it and it changes them. I read it, enjoyed it, thought at some points, and moved on. It did encourage me to read Tuesdays with Morrie though, so maybe I did get something out of it after all.
Wonderful storyline of the afterlife. Real tearjerker. Reveals how everybody's lives are intertwined. A super read.
''The Five People You Meet in Heaven'' can be reduced to a string of.. reassuring verities and a list of who Eddie's five people turn out to be... But that would do an injustice to a book with the genuine power to stir and comfort its readers.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0786868716, Hardcover)Part melodrama and part parable, Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven weaves together three stories, all told about the same man: 83-year-old Eddie, the head maintenance person at Ruby Point Amusement Park. As the novel opens, readers are told that Eddie, unsuspecting, is only minutes away from death as he goes about his typical business at the park. Albom then traces Eddie's world through his tragic final moments, his funeral, and the ensuing days as friends clean out his apartment and adjust to life without him. In alternating sections, Albom flashes back to Eddie's birthdays, telling his life story as a kind of progress report over candles and cake each year. And in the third and last thread of the novel, Albom follows Eddie into heaven where the maintenance man sequentially encounters five pivotal figures from his life (a la A Christmas Carol). Each person has been waiting for him in heaven, and, as Albom reveals, each life (and death) was woven into Eddie's own in ways he never suspected. Each soul has a story to tell, a secret to reveal, and a lesson to share. Through them Eddie understands the meaning of his own life even as his arrival brings closure to theirs.
Albom takes a big risk with the novel; such a story can easily veer into the saccharine and preachy, and this one does in moments. But, for the most part, Albom's telling remains poignant and is occasionally profound. Even with its flaws, The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a small, pure, and simple book that will find good company on a shelf next to It's A Wonderful Life. --Patrick O'Kelley
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:29:46 -0400)
Killed in a tragic accident, Eddie, an elderly man who believes that he had an uninspired life, awakens in the afterlife, where he discovers that heaven consists of having five people explain the meaning of one's life.

Home › Improve Your School › Volunteering & Fundraising
Page 2 of 2
By Craig Bystrynski, PTO Today
"Position available." Write help-wanted ads. Create a flyer or section of your newsletter with descriptions of the jobs you need help for. Include the duties of the position, likely time commitment, and other pertinent information. You're more likely to find a good match for your position if you publicize it well.
"There's a lot you can do." You already know that one of the biggest fears of volunteers is that they'll be sucked into a black hole of never-ending time commitment. One way to address this fear is to create a list of all of the things that volunteers can do in one hour to help your group.
"Would you help?" The No. 1 reason people say they don't volunteer is because "no one asked." Asking doesn't mean a newsletter ad that says "new officers needed." It requires a personal approach, and it works best if you have a specific task in mind. "Jim, we need ticket-takers for the carnival. Can you spare an hour to help?"
"Bring your friends!" People are much more likely to participate in a group if they know someone who participates already. You can use this to your advantage by asking existing members to issue personal invitations to people they know.
"Thanks for your interest." Don't let volunteer surveys sit around for weeks before you respond, even to people who expressed interest in an event that is months away. People are much more likely to follow through later if you make a connection now. Also, this is an opening to ask for more involvement: "I know you said you'd help with the spring carnival, but I wonder if you could spare an hour to help children pick out books at the book fair in October?"
"Let me show you." When you have a new volunteer, have an experienced volunteer work with her to show her the ropes. Your new volunteer will get up to speed faster and, if your mentor does her job well, will feel more like a part of the team from the start.
"It's all written down." Create a binder with information on your most common activities. Include resources, tools, and key steps. Don't forget items like tips for using the copy machine, how to handle cash, etc.
"Let's work together." Two heads sometimes are better than one. By sharing one job, two people can often put more energy and creativity into the work. This tends to work best if you have, for example, a chairman and a chairman-elect - one person as the final decisionmaker in case of disagreements and the other preparing to step into that role next year.
"You can do this at home." It's common for people who aren't familiar with parent groups to think every job needs to be done at school during school hours. Make a list of "flex time" and "work at home" jobs to attract people who can't help out during the day.
"This is what you can expect." Set expectations from the start. You don't have to be formal and businesslike with volunteers, but let them know that you expect punctuality, a positive attitude, that they abide by school and group rules, and maintain confidentiality, if applicable. Likewise, make sure your committee chairs know what volunteers expect from them: the tools and training to do the job, a positive work atmosphere, respect for their time, and an understanding of how the task relates to overall goals.

Hidden Orbs. 300 of 'em. Just in case 500 agility orbs weren't enough to satisfy your addiction. While the location of many of these hidden orbs are fairly obvious, some require a little more than standing over the purple radar blip and scratching your head. Here are some helpful tips for making your search a bit easier.
- If you're over the radar dot, and you look up and see sky, chances are the orb is below you. Look for nearby tunnel or sewer entrances if you're on the road. If you're on a bridge, look underneath.
- Lots of these orbs like to hide inside damaged buildings. Since you can't use doors in Crackdown 2, try to enter through a broken window or a damaged section. Note that these orbs cannot be seen through a pane of glass.
- Balconies of multi-level buildings are another common hiding spot.
- There are choppers on the helipad at agency headquarters in the middle of the map. You need a high level of agility to actually make the jump onto the helipad but once you have access, orb hunting is much easier.
- Lots of hidden orbs are in or on tall smoke stacks or building antennas. Use the chopper to reach them.
- Unlike agility orbs, you can collect hidden orbs without getting out of the chopper.
- There is a hidden orb suspended in mid-air over the agency tower. Use the chopper.

"The card is exactly what we expected, however, the design process was extremely limited. It would have been more helpful to allow manipulation of the text boxes for optimizing space available. Otherwise, it is exactly like the picture shows!"
"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"
"I loved my daughter's invitations! Excellent quality and overall service as well as quick shipping to Greece. Thank you so much for making this birthday memorable!"
"My child's first birthday invitation turned out perfect. I went with a sepia tone photo and used yellow font rather than turquoise. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to spotlight a favorite photograph in honor of the big celebration."
"it was easy to make it our own with a little help from their basic design. It was just perfect for my stepdaughter who is turning 9. The back didn't allow for me to have centered text but I made a comment to ask if they could center it and make it larger - and they did it free of charge! and it was perfect. The colors are exactly as they were on the screen."

I was staying at my friend's beach house when making this for the first time. The local store didn't have Tinkyada shells, so I made this with lasagna noodles. AWESOME! My meat-eating in-laws went back for seconds. Nice to show carnivores how tasty being vegan/gluten free can be. Thanks for a great recipie!
I cannot eat gluten nor wheat and stick to a plant based, dairy free diet so I feel so humbled I have found your blog and look forward to getting your first book and just falling in love. thank you for existing.
would also be great to pipe into some eggplant or zucchini slices and bake them stuffed and saucy… yum! this looks great!
Yum! Stuffed shells is always one of my favorites too!
Oh my gosh, no way! This looks so incredible. I'm trying this for the next date night. I try so many recipes of yours and I always am successful.
wow, that looks good!
I love how you added pistachios to this recipe! Your sauce looks amazing too. I'm not Italian either, but Italian food is everywhere where I'm from. It's super comforting and reminds me of home.
Stuffed shells is a family favorite of mine. I make it a lot. I started putting the stuffing into big ziploc bags and cutting off a big chunk of the corner and piping the filling into the shells. A little less messy and a touch easier!
Mmm these sound super lovely!
Yum! I will sub cooked quinoa for the tofu, to make this dish soy-free, will also use daiya cream cheese(when it is released in a few weeks) or maybe wayfare sour cream, for now.

That doesn't mean they don't have something to play for in their finale.
The Chiefs might well be playing for the future of interim coach Romeo Crennel, who led them to a victory over the Green Bay Packers a couple weeks ago. The defensive coordinator has provided a calm, cool presence in the locker room after the firing of Todd Haley spun the team into turmoil.

Flannery: Down in the D-League

The Celtics have gotten rid of their morning walkthrough, but that doesn't mean we have to. Here are a few Celtics links, and maybe even an NBA link or two, to help wake you up and get you focused for the day.
Mark Murphy, Boston Herald – "The Celtics are about to experience something completely different – a six-games-in-12-days homestand. 'I don't think any of us knows what that feels like,' Ray Allen said of a stretch that begins tonight against Denver at the Garden. 'We haven't been home that long all year. Hopefully I can get my bags unpacked.' Perhaps they can unpack some of what worked on their 2-1 road swing through Texas and Utah. The second half of Monday night's frustrating loss to the Jazz aside, the Celtics showed some of the most promising signs yet that they are ready for a stretch run."
Gary Washburn, Boston Globe – "So there is much at stake in this six-game stretch, with four opponents heading to the playoffs (Denver, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, and Cleveland) in addition to a difficult game against Houston and a tricky matchup with the young Kings. 'It's tough, but it's at home,' said coach Doc Rivers. 'It would be a nice chance to reestablish us at home. We haven't done that this year yet. We haven't had a lot of rhythm at home, so we have a chance right now.' The numbers at home are quite similar to the road numbers, hence the nearly identical records. The Celtics score almost 3 more points per game at TD Garden and allow opponents just 1.6 more points."
A. Sherrod Blakely, CSNNE – "The Celtics' play of late has squashed a number of the questions and concerns about them being too old to compete with the top teams. 'Maybe for 82 games, people can say that … the Celtics are too old,' Dallas guard Jason Kidd told CSNNE.com recently. 'But when it comes down to it, they keep on winning. Come playoff time, you don't look at age. You look at experience and understanding the situation.' The Celtics' situation is pretty clear – keep on winning. 'We want to be greedy, especially this time of year,' Pierce said. 'Our goal is to win every game.'"
Peter May, ESPNBoston – "The Celtics looked tired against the Jazz. It was their third game in four days, and they had no response to the Jazz in the second half. The season-long bugaboos — turnovers, rebounding — surfaced again. The C's lost to a very good team on the road. It happens. Only one Eastern Conference team — Atlanta — has won in Salt Lake City. So what does it all mean going forward? The mission statement continues to be 'We just want to get better.' Doc Rivers admits it sounds corny and that most people probably don't believe him. Rivers still hopes that the team he had in November and December, the one before the injuries hit, can re-emerge."
Greg Payne, CelticsBlog – "And now, as the C's continue to gear up for the postseason, they are about to welcome in the Denver Nuggets, the Sacramento Kings, the San Antonio Spurs, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Houston Rockets, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hopefully the Celtics will welcome these clubs in with nothing short of a sincere sense of utter hostility. For, with the playoffs looming, it would be nice to see this club continue to fine tune its game, re-establish the roles of its essential players, and play with the same sense of bravado that they've displayed several times on the road this season. We applauded their efforts against the Rockets and Mavericks. That aggression, that intensity (particularly on the defensive end), and that sense of calm amidst their opponents' respective runs – we all want to see more of it, for its what we expected to see all along."
Jessica Camerato, WEEI – [Nate Robinson said,] "I remember one time I was like 15 or 16 and I was in Oakland, California. There was this park where I grew up called Bushrod, it's in north Oakland, me and my family took a little trip up to another park called Mosswood. It's like rival parks and my family went up there and we played against another family. I remember we put the money in a hat, everybody put in five dollars. … We played for hat, played for the money. I remember this one big dude, my cousin threw me an alley-oop and I caught it and I dunked on him. I was screaming and yelling. He was like, 'If you do that again, I'm doing to kick your butt.' I was like, 'Oh man.' So I'm going through the game, I was scoring, and it was game point. My cousin who was on fast break, she threw another lob and dude goes up and I was like, 'A. Do I catch it and dunk on him? B. Do I let the ball go out of bounds and I lose and my family beats me up?' (laughs) I didn't know what to do. So I just went with my first instinct, caught it, and I dunked on him again. We got the money and we ran home. They were chasing us (laughs), they were mad.'"

The Celtics have gotten rid of their morning walkthrough, but that doesn't mean we have to. Here are a few Celtics links, and maybe even an NBA link or two, to help wake you up and get you focused for the day.
Ross Siler, Salt Lake Tribune – "The Jazz scored the last seven points going into halftime and the first nine points coming back from the break. They took off from there, snapping Boston's four-game winning streak and closing within a half-game of No. 3 Dallas, which lost to New Orleans. 'We came out like a bullet out of a gun,' Carlos Boozer said of the Jazz's second-half surge, adding, 'I hope everybody in this locker room had fun tonight because we played against a championship-caliber team and beat them.'"
Julian Benbow, Boston Globe – "The tale of the first half was free throw shooting (Boston 13 of 18, Utah 13 of 14), rebounds (Boston 21, Utah 13) and second chances (Boston 11 points, Utah 4). But in second half, Utah dominated every category, finishing with 40 boards, 7 of 21 3-pointers, and 16 second-chance points. The Celtics took their feet off the pedal after Ray Allen drilled a three from the corner with 2:01 left in the first half, turning the ball over, missing layups, and allowing the Jazz to go into the break down just 54-49. 'I thought the second quarter we closed out terribly,' Rivers said. 'I thought what we did was give them hope.'"
Mark Murphy, Boston Herald – "Kevin Garnett was clearly angry after a frustrating night of chasing Mehmet Okur into the corners. 'They started the third quarter pretty electric,' he said. 'But that was something you had to anticipate. As many times as I have played (in Utah), they have always come out like that. They were pretty aggressive in the first half, so you had to anticipate them coming out with some energy. When you are aggressive like that the refs are going to give you the whistle. We just didn't put 48 minutes of basketball together.'"
Paul Flannery, WEEI – "It was typical for the last game of a short but grueling trip. But did it mean anything? Every Celtics win and loss has prompted a new twist in the 'turn it on, turn it off' saga that has dominated the second half of the season. As he has for the last month, Rivers has resisted the urge to play that game. He's not going to get into short-term analysis. 'It was a good trip,' Rivers told reporters after the game. 'We're not counting the trip. We're not counting games. We're just trying to get better.' Still, there were interesting developments on a night when Rivers concluded, 'They outplayed us. Give them credit. They were the better team.'"
Mark Murphy, Boston Herald – "Judging from his last three games, during which Pierce took a week-long "vacation" from talking to the media, the go-to element in Pierce's game has resurfaced. 'For the most part I'm healthy now,' Pierce said. 'I played a lot of games I shouldn't have played in and I'm really starting to come around as far as my foot, knee and my hand. When you play less than 100 percent it's tough, especially at the age I am now. I could bounce back when I was younger. But I learned a lot about myself this year with these injuries and I probably need to take more time off when I have these types of injuries.'"
Gary Washburn, Boston Globe – "Pierce's sentiments were understandable. The Celtics were struggling and needed offensive punch. They were blowing second-half leads and looked ragged and uninterested at times. But what Rivers stressed — many times to deaf ears — was there was plenty of time to recapture that confidence and swagger — that same swagger Pierce showed when he strutted back to the bench after draining that 3-pointer against Dallas. 'I'm always motivated,' he said. 'This is a crucial part of the year when you are trying to battle for playoff position, and at this time you really want to start playing some of your best basketball. We're starting to show a lot of signs of things that we did earlier in the year.' And the same could be said for Pierce, who personifies the Celtics."
Julian Benbow, Boston Globe – "The Celtics are essentially hosting an open house for potential playoff teams the next two weeks with Denver, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, and Cleveland all due at the Garden. They faired well on the road, but Pierce would have preferred taking all three games on the trip. 'We're trying to be greedy, especially at this point in the season,' Pierce said. 'We need every win we can get, especially with the seeding being so important. By no means are we satisfied with losing today. We don't come on a trip saying we win two lose one. Our goal is to win every game. So we're disappointed for losing this game. We've got to get back to the drawing board, and look at the last couple games that we played well, and continue to build. We can't get discouraged from one loss to a Utah team – who is tough and at home – we've got to keep building for the rest of the season.'"
Mark Murphy, Boston Herald – "The Celtics' 105-86 win against the Jazz at the Garden on Nov. 11 ranks as a night of infamy for Utah players. According to point guard Deron Williams, the players gathered at a restaurant afterward, went over the box score and noted that there wasn't a Celtic with 18 points in the game. They also witnessed the Celtics having a bit too much of a good time – probably grooving a little too much on the Gino dance video – late in the game. This humiliation, according to Williams, was the start of Utah's turnaround."

The Utah Jazz came out of halftime like a midsummer California forest fire: Flaming hot and viciously destructive.
Before you could say Mehmet Okur, a five-point halftime lead for the Boston Celtics had turned into a 10-point deficit, and a very winnable game was suddenly headed to the 'L' column. The final score would be even worse, 110-97.
Just before halftime, the Celtics had seemed headed for their fifth straight impressive win. A Ray Allen three-bomb put the Celtics up 12, and they were threatening to break the game wide open. Just when it seemed they might put the Jazz away for good, the Celtics took their foot off the gas and allowed the Jazz right back into the game. The 12-point lead disintegrated to five by the intermission, and the table was set for Utah's second-half onslaught.
For the Celtics, it was a disappointing loss, but far from the end of the world. A 3-0 road trip would have been delicious, but 2-1 is nothing to be ashamed of. Beating the Jazz in Utah is exceedingly tough, but beating them in Utah when Okur plays like Reggie Miller, Hakeem Olajuwon and Dennis Rodman all rolled into one is next to impossible. Ohkur was everywhere, blocking shots, snatching rebounds, and draining three-pointers from all angles.
The Celtics looked like a team ready to fly home and embark on a six-game homestand, while the Jazz looked like a team thirstily trying to defend its homecourt. In the end, that was the difference. It wasn't that Utah was a better team, or that they have more talent, but simply that they wanted it more. It was that simple. Had Boston kept the turnovers to a minimum in a sloppy first half, Utah might have faced an insurmountable halftime deficit. But they didn't, and they didn't.
I've spent half a season urging Boston to find the heart to exert effort throughout every play of each game, but tonight was the most excusable loss Boston has had in awhile. I don't want to let them off the hook after another second-half meltdown, but this one was understandable. On the last leg of a road trip, playing a very good Utah team in a hostile environment, with a six-game road trip waiting on the horizon, it all added up to a second half devoid of any energy. I don't condone it, but I can see why it happened.
If the Celtics don't bring their hardhats and lunchpails on Wednesday, though, there's something wrong. Playing a Nuggets team that all but bent the Celtics over and spanked them last time the two teams met, the Celtics should be out for blood. It should help that it's in the Garden, but playing at home hasn't always been a good sign this season.
After seeing the Jazz play the Celtics like a fiddle in the final 24 minutes of tonight's game, spectators might think this was another night the Celtics got overrun by a better opponent. I wouldn't read too much into the loss, though. It was one game, and one game only. Really, it was one half and one half only. The Celtics live to play another day.
The next time the Celtics take the court, they should thank their lucky stars they don't have to play Mehmet Miller Olajuwon Rodman Okur. He's a killer.
Wanna know how long ago the Jazz last played the Celtics?
As the Celtics subs finished off a 105-86 smackdown, Deron Williams marveled at how the Celtics starters laughed on the bench, clearly unworried that they would be unable to compile statistics during the fourth quarter.
Williams even credits the Celtics' team play and unselfish attitude that day for helping Utah find the right path.
"It was a turning point in the season," Williams said, "when we saw how they played, and we kind of wanted to emulate that."
A blowout of a good team? A team wanting to emulate the Boston Celtics? That's how you know that game was played a lifetime ago. Or at least on Nov. 11, when the Celtics were still shooting for 72 wins and already planning a championship parade.
The Celtics can no longer feel such confidence and haven't blown out a good team in a millennium or so, but are starting to piece together the puzzle that confounded them for a few months. With each recent win, including two in a row in the state of Texas, the Celtics come a little closer to resembling the team the Jazz strived to emulate after that November night.
The season has been a lot different than the Celtics imagined, but the C's seem to have come full circle and regained the magic that was M.I.A. as they sputtered to a .500 record for almost half a seasonworth of games. After the win against Dallas, ESPN's Marc Stein noted via Twitter, "Celts might have found something in Texas. Turned it up a notch late and Mavs couldn't deal. Saw some ol' Celts swagger tonight."
Some ol' Celts swagger, indeed. The Big Three didn't spend the fourth quarter laughing and cheering on their backups. No, they instead spent it digging out of a 7-point fourth-quarter hole and emerging with a victory, against a contender, on the road, on the second night of a back-to-back. The Celtics executed beautifully down the stretch and, in a season that has so often seen them look old and creaky, looked a step faster and a whole lot hungrier than their Dallas counterparts.
It was only one win, only one night. But, after seeing the Celtics falter time after time, watching them patch together their first significant win in months felt better than opening presents on Christmas (which, coincidentally, was the last time they had won a significant game). The win against Dallas even feels like more than a fluke. When coupled with two home blowouts and a gritty victory in Houston, it feels more like a pattern.
That pattern will be tested again tonight, in Utah. The Jazz are 28-8 at home, where the cozy confines of the Delta Center (sorry, but I refuse to call it EnergySolutions Arena) have always allowed Utah a legitimate homecourt advantage. It will be a tough task to defeat Deron Williams and co. in their own backyard, but one the Celtics finally seem ready for.
"They're a great team," Williams said way back when, after getting smoked by Boston. "They have a group of guys who know their roles 1 through 10. They come in, they do the job, they get stops. They don't coast. They hold everybody accountable. That's what it takes to be a championship team."
They lost their mojo for a long time, but the Celtics are again starting to look like the championship team the Jazz were so impressed by in November.
The mojo is back, baby.
The Celtics have gotten rid of their morning walkthrough, but that doesn't mean we have to. Here are a few Celtics links, and maybe even an NBA link or two, to help wake you up and get you focused for the day.
Frank Isola, Newsday (Via Celtics Hub) – "Nate Robinson rose from his seat on the Celtics bench, looked at Mike D'Antoni and began clapping. Lil' Him wasn't honoring his former coach Wednesday night as much as he was taunting him. With Boston building a 27-point third-quarter lead over the Knicks, Robinson twice made it a point to show that he was enjoying D'Antoni's misery. It was another example of Nate being Nate during the Celtics' 109-97 victory over Robinson's former club."
Green Street, WEEI – "When you said, 'This team is very, very close,' what did you mean by that? I thought you might even be a little sarcastic with the remark. 'No, I was not. You look at the Cleveland game, we didn't play great and it was 68-all with four minutes left in the third quarter, on the road. There was a lot of positive signs, we had the ball back to back in those possessions, turned it over, and missed four free throws in a row. What we didn't do was when Cleveland made their next run, was fight after. You can just see things — Paul improving, Kevin improving, everybody's starting to get their rhythm back. And I've said it earlier, I don't think people realize — and it wasn't about the injuries, it was about the amount of injuries and trying to bring guys back at the same time — you lose your rhythm. Not only as a team but as an individual, and we haven't gotten it back. But we're starting to get it back, and if we can get it back in time, like I said in the interview, I love our chances.'"
Julian Benbow, Boston Globe – "'I know a lot of people are like, 'You don't want to be in that fourth seed to face Cleveland in the second round,' ' Perkins said. 'But, shoot, we both got to get to the second round.' The Celtics have 15 games left, 10 against teams with winning records. The Magic, currently the second seed, are in the enviable position of simply having to win winnable games. Only seven of Orlando's last 13 games are against teams above .500. Atlanta has nine games left (out of 15) against winning teams. The Celtics are 13-18 against teams with winning records. 'It'd be great, obviously, to get the second or third seed,' Rivers said. 'It's not going to be easy.'"
A. Sherrod Blakely, CSNNE – "Boston's next three foes – Houston, Dallas and Utah – have a combined winning percentage of 61.9 this season. And for a team with so few quality wins to its credit, Boston could benefit in more ways than padding its win total with a successful West coast trip. Coach Doc Rivers has been preaching for weeks that no one game has a greater value than another. But even he acknowledges the C's could use a few more wins over teams above .500 between now and the playoffs. 'It's nice to beat a playoff team,' Rivers said. 'We haven't played well against a lot of them.' Uh, try most of them, coach."
Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald – "What's critical is that Garnett recognize the changes and adjust. NBA people have been saying for years that he is not the best when it comes to some of the positional minutiae, but Garnett always has had the energy, desire and physical gifts to recover when an opponent gained a step on him. Now the foes are finishing. 'I think now he has to be a little more sound fundamentally,' Ainge said. 'He'll have to do it more, because he's not the same athlete. He's had some adjustments to make, for sure. KG's got to do a better job of keeping guys in front of him because he can't catch up. But that's the case with everyone on our team.' The question is whether Garnett can perform as well as the Celtics need him to in the postseason. 'Yes,' Ainge said. 'Absolutely.'"

"Well, driving through Coeur d'Alene today, I went down Sherman and out Northwest Blvd., where I took the on-ramp to go onto Lincoln way, and, it looks like quite a few more pine trees have bitten the dust. There's some new construction going on, where "Coeur d'Alene Homes" is located; a big new building is going up, but before "what goes up", something "must come down", and in this case, most all of the pine trees located near Coeur d'Alene Homes and Heritage Place, have indeed come down. I don't mind building per se, but why does vegetation have to be bulldozed down?
"I have long admired, for instance, the Hecla Mining Headquarters building out along hiway 95; a huge building was built way back off the freeway, in total harmony with the many, many pine trees that were left standing in that block. Regarding developers and builders who rip out trees en masse, what, are you trying to turn North Idaho into a semi-arid desert? If THAT'S what you want, I say, go build your buildings near Rosalia, Washington, or somewhere in that area. Not only will you be able to build your buildings, you'll save money on timber-falling expenses 'cos there ain't that many trees in that neck o' the woods."

DMV warns of fee-charging, unofficial license renewal websites
The DMV's official website - www.dmv.nh.gov - has the wording, "An Official State of New Hampshire Government Website," at the top right-hand corner of the site.
Unofficial sites will charge extra fees, DMV Director Richard C. Bailey Jr. said Monday.
"People should be sure to enter the exact web address that is listed on their renewal notification letter in the web address line, not on a search line," Bailey said. "If they do a web search to find it, they might not reach the official DMV site."
The cost to renew a five-year, operator-only driver license is $50.
"There are no additional charges for renewing a license online." Bailey said. "Anyone who reaches a website that imposes additional charges should exit that site immediately. These sites don't offer anything that the official DMV website doesn't provide for free."
Anyone with questions about online renewal may call 227-4020 or email email@example.com.
Most New Hampshire drivers are eligible for online renewal. Anyone holding a New Hampshire driver's license receives a letter several weeks before the license expires. If the driver is eligible for online renewal, the letter contains a 10-digit renewal identification number and instructions for online renewal. Also needed are a computer with Internet access and a printer, the current license and a valid MasterCard or Visa credit card.
In 2012, more than 48,000 New Hampshire drivers renewed their licenses online and saved themselves a trip to the DMV. That is nearly 27 percent of eligible drivers. Online renewal has been available in New Hampshire since December 2009.
